The amulet section is lvl 80-85. It was so close to Einh's challenge and after it Hell run was straight forward (my resists was enough for Hell without overcap, Idk have mobs pen or not). But I admit your advice. Hell bosses was killed with spam Phalanx and rare Trinity Arrows. I don't understand why sometimes my merc barb could tank for 2 mins and sometimes dies after several seconds.
I will try now maybe some other type of amazon leveling or assassin's ones. Maybe they will better match me. For now, I can say that for new players in 1.6 Ice sorc is much smoother. Ofc, I don't know anything about endgame situation, but for noobies quite important to complete acts before skipping game in consequence of dying or impossibility to kill/pass something.

Hey bud you don't need to use sacred items. All my gear is T4 horrifics, the unique body armor and the helm runeword on a cheap helmet. The only sacred item is my sacred reflex bow. I put like 20 points into strength and now after all 115 charms and some 120 I have like 300ish strength. But my dex in comparison is super high, I think its almost 2k. I think that's why wolf says you need rerun charms, so you don't need to invest into strength much.

I may have missed this point and am still pretty new to this mod, for the crafted bow - I assume we should use Weird Shrines for crafting for the ED and Max DMG or should we craft and bless with Intimidating shrines?

Main Weapon: Craft (200ed 300max Reflex Bow) roll examples here (MO order: bless and luck first, ed to 196, ewd, ds, max)

That's a hard choice. I'd probably go with the deadly strike one. But it may not be entirely worth it to umo it since they aren't doubled if it's not an icebreaker.

You craft with every single shrine you get except ornate and abandoned until you get a bow that has the desired max damage in the guide. Ideally, you'd want to get a big boi off a intimidating shrine and then bless with intimidating, always.

If you want a good example of a big intimidating shrine craft, check https://tsw.vn.cz/acc/char.php?name=wyrmshot

anyone else had this problem yet?

I think you copy/pasted it wrong. The line should be:

"Ring$|Amulet$|Jewel" unique sound1

not

'Ring$|Amulet$|Jewel' unique sound 1

I recommend for you to carefully read through the Milestone section. It's not possible to fail your progression if you just go step-by-step and do what I wrote

There are several things you did wrong because you went with your gut instead of following instructions. It's very easy to do major mistakes on bowzon.

Shrine recommended order is in the early-game Milestone section, near the bottom.

Simply cube the ilvl99 rare sacred reflex bow with the shrine. It will reroll the bow with new affixes. Simply reroll it until you get 165+ ed and 265+ dmg.
Check out the early-game milestone section near the bottom, I give a bit more info on the matter.

Neither are worth sacrificing ds or ewd MO's. Save them for other items.
I might be wrong here, but don't use them on crafts. Maybe for askar/ice breaker/valk prime.

I play mostly ssf and UMO's are super rare, so I didnt delve into them.

When in doubt, use the dmg calc to see if they beat regular MO's.

im level 86 ....

How do we life leech ?

I also die much because not so familiar with mechanics and enemies' abilities.
So I respeced str points (got about 200 from items/charms), upgraded damage to 1700-2600 on wyrmshot, 7k hp.
Think my main problem now is a bow - I still using Herald of Skartara. So question: what bases priority, if sacred reflex bow is absent, to craft with? Or it is not worth it at all to pick another base because Reflex Bow Crafts took many shrines. "Use Charsi imbue quest (in Hell difficulty for reduced prices) on first ilvl99 sacred Reflex Bow you find" - what does Charsi do with a bow? Will she make not rare base rare?
Got 115 lvl in Torian Jungles, because cows were too fast for my dps, then go to Kurast. And now I feel pain from sisters-amazons in Tran Athulua. Sometimes it seem my own Phalanx kill me when I try to kill them offscreen.
From your guide I haven't done: 1) Swap weapon with Bloodlust (lazy idk) 2) Crafted Reflex bow (haven't) 3) Haven't yet craft ber jewellery as you recommended to farm AC at 120 at NNihlathak.

As I understood from guide - you must look for lifesteal quiver, then craft jeweellery with ber rune, that also will give ls. Also at Hell you need to farm 2 rings with 20 life on attack.
Personally, I haven't ls problems - you must always dodge everything 8-)

and I often buy/pick up hp pots.
