Hey guys! I just wonder for the Uberquest where you need to summon and kill King Koth, you need a book of summoning right? At least that is what I have read like everywhere, but the vendors doesent sell the candle or the heart that you need for it. Is this a bug for me or am I completely retarded and don't get the point of the whole thing?

The candle and the heart were removed in the first patch of Median XL 2017. They don't exist anymore.

The modders wanted to remove dark summonig btw. Mostly because you were able to prebuff an area with strong long-lasting spells and then cast dark summoning which resulted in a way too cheesy and easy approach of the ubers. That also made some characters much better due to the ability to get charms much easier.

Dark Summoning now doesn't exist anymore. However, there is a skill called Dark Portal, which allows you to open a Portal to another realm (as in stage) after killing certain enemies. To obtain that skill, kill the summoner in the arcane sanctuary in act 2 in destruction difficulty and cube the dropped tome with your class charm.

HechtHeftig, is the level 90 Death Projector challenge that easy?
Wow! That looks like a piece of cake in the video. I may just try it out soon.

I may be believing in some false confidence though. You are an experienced player.
But I don't have the flayer jungle waypoint yet. I am at Spider Forest at level 81.

I can take my time. No rush. I need to get the timing down and experience the death projector. Every time I think I have something figured out and it's going to be easy peesy, I end up getting killed numerous times. So I must stay humble in all challenges.

Another trick to make this challenge a bit easier, is to lure all the minions except one up into the room at the top of the level, and then teleport out of there.

That way you only have to deal with a single minion instead of like 10.

(Atleast 1 minion has to be near Death Projector in order to be able to damage it)

How long can gold stay on the ground before disappearing?
Somebody told me to drop it all so if I die I won't lose anything.
Sounds like a smart idea as I'm sure to die a lot act 3 terror.

I already died once in the spider cavern (lost 92,000). Forgot to drop it. LOL
Sometimes I just run too fast into big mobs. I'll try to walk. And be more strategic here.

Think its 10 minutes for gold, at least in regular Diablo 2.

I want to be fearless and have a reckless playing style.
If I can't lose any gold my nerves disappear and my mentality changes.
There's more aggressiveness and fun (less fear). I like it that way!

If my only consequence for dying is losing experience, I'll risk that.
I'm tired of playing this game being scared and afraid. I want to have fun.

Ah, I just found the proving grounds and almost level 84!
All my gold is in town. I've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. Death Projector slained me fast. Hardly saw it.
The lightning or whatever one shot me. But I lost 0 gold!

EDIT: Yessssssss!!!! I finally did it guys! When I knew what to do. LOL
Died a few times learning the pattern of the death projector.
Is that all I need to do before level 90? I want to breathe again.
I was able to cube the class charm with perfect gem successfully.

Is it viable to make a barbarian build focused on deathgaze?

Yeah, deathgaze is pretty good, especially having been buffed this patch.
