Done

Congrats alfims.

Also thanks all for the kind words :)

Another ! Grats, WesleyCau.

What's happening?! Congrats, Xafniko.

Thanks Ignarsoll - Reading your thread motivated me to grind my last character to 65!

A few random facts:

- My main was a Witch Summoner using Burning Miscreants and Elemental Equilbrium.
- The only twist was using Freezing Pulse/GMP/Curse On Hit for fast Triple Cursing.
- I played solo, only helping out people in groups a few times (and for the 77/78 map bosses).
- I made all my currency from shop sales, trading and item flipping.
- The best item that I looted was worth less than 2 exalt.
- I spent about 5500 fusings on various 6S items and never hit a 6L.
- While leveling 1*L88 & 5*L65 on Domination I looted 2 Divine Orbs, 4 Exalt Orbs and 1 Eternal Orb but never found either a Divine Shrine or Igna Phoenix Exile.

Congratulations, although i bet that 95% of all readers are more curious to hear your strategy in earning all the uniques =) Apart from mindless grinding, mindless selling followed by mindless grinding again. Any tips for the common folks on how to get stuff?

The way I made currency was by learning how to accurately price some of the more "in demand" items. Then whenever I was playing I would keep the trade chat window open and snap up any bargains that appeared. After a few weeks of that I gradually learnt how to price just about every item.

I made almost all of my sales via my forum shop. I always listed items with a firm (but cheap) buyout.

Learning how to price items takes a long time but this in depth guide by SKTrain summarizes the basics really well:

I allso did a writeup on reddit, for those interested in the details of the unique challenge

Wondering how many it wil be this time

For anyone that's interested here's my story/strategy to obtain all uniques.

At first i thought that you only need to have all uniques at 1 time, then u can trade them away, so figured with a friend that we can share the amount. Then found out that it wasn't like that (at around 13th December or so) so wasn't even sure if i had time for it

Didn't have anything else to do at that time, was bored of maps as well(was level 92) so guess i would start grinding

Farming Piety 24/7 with mf gear (333/60) was the only thing i would be doing(ended up getting 40% xp at lvl 92)

When i was bored of Piety, i'd stop for some hours and flip items

Notes:

-Crafted a 550 phys DPS Reaver sword that i ended up selling for ~40ex
-Chanced a Soul Taker
-Most valuable item looted itself was Prism Guardian from Piety, 2 days before i complete the challenge(was missing that item as well, lol)
-So much flipping you wouldn't believe the prices i bought items and sell them
