If you haven't played in a Flashback league before and you enjoy encounters then you are in for an absolute treat. When all the mods are in at the end of the two weeks you'll be seeing things like ghosted exiles or warbands and all sorts of fun stuff you don't normally get to see. It's certainly a bit harder, but it's more loot, and more fun than the normal league. You won't want it to end

Its just going to suck with less currency. I have around 4-5 Ex easily to spend for my Ice chaos trapper but that will not be available in the 2 week.
I understand there will be more mobs, but I doubt I will get 4 EX in 2 weeks, especially considering I will need more for leveling etc.
It does sound like a lot of fun though.
You could it's do a cheap ice trapper. I think I spent maybe 60c total on him. 40c on a 6L, 15c on divination dagger, and 5c on random stuff. It's super cheap and really good.
I think we are playing different games... 6L are very seldom 40c.
Got any build links for a cheap Ice trapper?
They wont get that cheap during the 2 week. Prices are that low because the league is old.
I had about 20 ex of gear on my chaos ice trapper but... could be done a lot cheaper.
Yes. 6L carcass jack, 4x dmg/dmg/life jewelsDid you run Consuming Dark x 2? With Pyre's ring?
Splurged out of the gate for my spark and bought a Victarios Acuity (40C). Frenzy and Power charges just mow down the vermin.
I actually had a portal gem drop in Act 3 of normal. Don't think that's a regular occurrence.
I had one drop earlier this week, also in Act 3 normal or earlier. I traded it off. What in the world do you do with these things-other than not have to carry portal scrolls?
I just started playing last night, as a witch since that is the only free character for new players. I'm set up as ranged (fireball, spark, tendrils) and pets (zombies).
It's fun so far: I like how gems level up with use and how sockets don't bind gems to the item you place them into. The system of trading items for fractional scrolls and orbs is reasonable, and the loot drops for a lowbie seem decent.
The only annoyance to me so far is the map, the transparent low-detail overlay makes it a little hard to navigate. That and the tiny inventory area.
Huh? Everything except the Scion should be available. Did you try clicking on the others?
