Are Wine Builds Still Viable for Lost Cities?
I'm currently prepping for my first lost cities expedition (mainly for the dragon ring to transform myself, then I'll come back for sentient gear). I've been brewing wine for better and better quality, but I've come to question if wine is even worth it with the nerfs (last time I played wine increased by 1 minute not 30sec).
For context, I have fully maxed out ice dragon nunchucks, and fully maxed silver armor, with all undying baubles (double reach ring (I could do strength or resistance as well), ankh shield, broken heart, fire dragon eye, shield of honor, toolbelt, cross necklace).
I was planning on using battle burrito, potion of luck (until I find dragon ring), alchemy ironskin, diamondskin, and potion of wings. With my baubles + cure, that gives me potion sickness, so I was planning on letting rejuv from burrito run out, then doing the wine. This seems like a lot of work, and having an 8 stack of wine only last 4 minutes, it just all seems rather complicated.
Most of these are to make silver armor work and not break immediately (rez, diamondskin, alchemy ironskin), but Im wondering if farming mimics for antidote and just using golem armor is more worth than the wine build.
