Exciting. I've heard you only need about 5 or 6 ancient pieces to get going with LoN on sader. At least for beating out thorns.
I want a petsader, or rather a gatling sader. Going to be running bowmen to hopefully speed TX.
The gold conquest is best done on TX, with a level 50 boon, gold gear on (goldskin, goldwrap, avarice band).
To get the sequence of 50M+, it's best to run through the map and spawn all of the critters. The trick is that they only spawn when you track over certain parts of the map; you'll learn them after a few tries if you don't know them already (there are a lot; in every little nook and cranny). After you go through and spawn everything (try to kill as little as possible), go back through and collect 400M gold.
I managed to get the counter up to 65M before I said that was enough.
FYI: boon doesn't work unless you get the killing blow, so doing this in a group is a no-go unless others are simply there to spawn and gather for you and not kill anything.
I forgot I hadn't cubed the avarice band yet. I was running bounties and farming for it when I hit a gilded baron for 70M. Now to see what other conquest is attainable.
Or just get more ancients. Seems like they'd take about the same amount of time. At least the augmented gear is a visible goal.
I finished my 70 with my thorns sader, but about half of my set is ancient, along with my belt. No augments yet.
As for my progress, it's stalled. Doing rifts with gold find gear, hoping for a baron. Have a DH up to high 60's for years of war. But I won't be able to play as much now that things are starting to get busy for me. I think I'll at least get the stash tab, but I may not finish the entire journey.
Lol knocked out years of war last night and to my surprise I was done with conqueror and hello stash tab.
I think I must have already had the avarice conquest already and I didn't even know it.
I ran all 4 demon hunter sets and immortal kings and earth sets for barbarian both using an ancient fovp. Too easy.
Can't get the stupid shield to finish my invoker build to save my life. Probably dropped close to 3k shards on it and have a growing collection of ancients, but can't even get a regular one of the type I need.
working on getting the destroyer requirements. the conquests seem pretty ridiculous actually. completing act 1 - 4 in an hour seems doable but i'd hate to waste a ton of time just to fail on that.
Does anyone know the actual drop rate for ramaladni's gift? I found two so far but I'm not sure if I should use them to make my guy stronger for farming or save them until after I've gotten my guy geared up. DR for it seems really random from what i've read.

That shield has been hard to come by. Finally got the second one to drop. It's the only Item i'm even considering rerolling to get an ancient.

I bet you could pull off the 70, now. You might have to fish a little, but you could pull it off. Your gear is better than mine and your gems are higher ranked. Mine were all rank 58 or so.
I'd roll the elemental or regen off the amulet and go for attack speed or cdr or vit.

I took a closer look at your profile, and you need to remove bombardment and use consecration/bed of nails. When you trigger Iron Skin and Consecration during the physical round of CoE, stuff melts. The bombardment belt is there strictly to trigger the 4 piece bonus of the set, not deal damage.
If you make that one skill switch, only chase elites (and large mobs of worthwhile whites), and keep decent track of your CoE cycle, you'll bag 70 easily.
The ideal strategy is to kite whites into elites so you get a lot of stacks, only focus on the elite, and let Iron Skin and Consecration rip when CoE's physical is up. Rinse and repeat.
+Physical damage is weird with thorns. It actually doesn't do you much (if any) good on your gear, but CoE's physical does interact. That's why build guides rarely recommend +Physical; they'll say to put it on bracers, but that's usually because bracers don't roll enough actually useful affixes.
My approximate stats on my 70 were: plevel ~530, gem rank ~58, sheet thorns ~230K, only half of set items ancient, strength ~11.5K - 12K. I had one minute left, RG took no more than two minutes.
You've got me beat in just about every way. You might still have to fish a bit, I did have some good mob types, but I recall having a couple lousy elite affixes. But I think you've got the stats to do a 70 without having to wait to augment first.
EDIT: Something that could help with DPS is actually firing Iron Skin and Consecration off of the Physical rotation, as long as you still have enough enemies to and cooldown to fire it during the physical rotation. If I see that they're available during the fire or beginning of holy cycle and I've got a good group, I'll usually pop them again. Just never purposefully fire them in a way that will cause you to miss the Physical cyle.
