I got the thing! I got the thing!

If you need some quick and relatively easy Achievement points to finish off I recommend soloing some rifts, getting the trial keystones, soloing them without trying too hard so you get reasonably low level greater rift keystones, then soloing them and grabbing the gemstone upgrades instead of the keystone upgrades. Repeat this, and you should grab some easy achievements: soloing rifts to certain levels and getting multiple gems up to level 5. I would recommend going for lots of gems to level 5 rather than one gem as high as you can get, it's much quicker to do.

that :above: I'm 10 points off 400 which is about 4 greater rifts away from happening just need to finish leveling 1 more gem to 15. i was hoping to get it by finishing one of the specific dropped item sets and then doing rifts with it as thats an easy 30 points but the RNG gods seem to hate me an now i have about 7 different sets across my two characters that are only a third finished each and the gems happened in the meantime.

if you guys wanna try and get there these are the cheev's that me and joose probably have that you guys might not:

finishing a level 15 greater rift solo
finishing a level 20 greater rift solo
get 1 leg gem to level 5
get 3 leg gems to level 5
get 6 leg gems to level 5
get 1 leg gem to 15
get 3 leg gems to 15.

there are other cheev points still to get but these are probably the quickest and easiest ones except for maybe the class set stuff but thats just down to luck on whether or not you finish one of the sets listed in the achievement "stay classy" in the items section of the seasonal achievements but if you do that's 10 points and then finishing a level 15/20/25 greater rift with it equipped is another 10 points a piece, and those should all be relatively easy with one of those sets completed with a skill set to compliment them

Sure, I had fun!

Dunno what class I'm gonna be next time though - I do miss my Monk, but I've played one before if anyone else wanted to try it out?

I'm definitely up for up again, it was great fun. Wouldn't mind playing something tanky, either Crusader or Monk. I'll go for whichever one no one else wants to play.

Looking forward to the new season, not sure on what to play though. I haven't tried Wizard, Monk or Barbarian yet so one of those probably

Wizard was fun. Feels like you are made of wet tissue paper, but you can spit out some crazy damage and there are some fun little tricks you can do.

After playing the demo again I kind of enjoyed the mindless hacking this time round. I can't concentrate on games any more. So I took a gamble on one of those weird code sites and grabbed it for a tenner. Alas I still probably won't be able to join in on 5punky shenanigans, and I don't have the expansion, but maybe that'll come up cheap at some point too (or maybe I'll get it later if I enjoy the original content enough).

I made a community thing called Five Punk (I get the impression 5punk would get taken down, but since someone has zpunk I figured we could keep it as the tag). I've no idea what a community does for you in Diablo 3, but I wanted to feel included.

I may have already made a 5punk community. Let me check.

Yep! I made the 5punk community and it hasn't been taken down yet :D

Woo! I couldn't find it though. Does it not show up if it's not set to recruiting?
