The things can feel hard at first but when you get to know with mechanics used with challenges and ubers then you can beat it even without good gear.
For your bowazon before trying Level Challenge One, I recommend using Act 5 mercenary (available after helping barbs from quest) with some basic runewords for him or even tiered uniques if you found any on your way. Get some non req magic or rare amulet/rings you had from first act and add mystic orbs with flat damage reduce, so multihitting will be no harm. With that you should be fine there, just let barb clean and spam projectiles from behind his back.

Hes under level 25 I guess.

When you say flat damage reduction, you mean stuff that says "Damage taken reduced by 30" instead of "Damage taken reduced by 30%" right? I'm guessing that's because of one of the mechanics you were talking about? Is there any good material I can read to get a better understanding of this quest and the strategies involved? I've tried searching youtube videos, but Median XL videos seem to be rare and out of date.

Sarcinda wrote:Alright and one more thing. I recently got a Flowerspring (Stag Bow) and upgraded it to tier 3. However, the stats on the item are tier 1 not tier 3. It has the 3 next to the name to indicate it is indeed tier 3, and even has the 168 Dexterity requirement. But it still has 15% chance to cast level 6 Death Blossom and all the other stats that come with tier 1. What did I do wrong?
you can . with the rare downlevel recipe . just that the stats on the items will not be so godly due to the low ilvl . however you can't use it for rolling jewels , rings or amulets .Sprow wrote:you cant reroll rare items anymoar
