Re: Magic Items "Blue's Only" Showoff Thread

The following items were all shopped for cash money (and not too much of it, either!) at either Larzuk or Anya in Hardcore Hell A5:

2 x "Cruel War Sword of Quickness" (40% IAS each, one ~290% ED, other ~220% ED)

1 x "Shocking Mythical Sword of Quickness" (40% IAS and 1-400+ Lightening Damage)

1 x "Jeweler's Ancient Armor of Amicae" (15 PDR and 4 sockets).

I'm trying to figure out if the items are worth using... possibly the Quickness swords might be good for a Frenzy Barb? :ponder: If you could guarantee getting 2 sockets from Larzuk, I'd rush a few mules to socket 'em with, but I always seem to only get one each time I waste that precious quest award.

Can post screen shots of all these if requested.

Cheers

Mr. Bill

Found a Jewelers Balrog Skin of Tiger (I believe) It has 24 life on it. Not much but I'll find some use for it.
 
Re: Magic Items "Blue's Only" Showoff Thread

Finally found a ring for my singer:

Bahamut's Ring of the Apprentice
Required Level: 37
Item Level: 66
+98 to Mana
10% Faster Cast Rate

I've got one too, 110 mana/10% FCR. I had it on my trade list for a while but decided to keep it for self use. It might be good for a PvP necro with good white runeword, they are around that level

The waste is greater with respect to the item. If you have two game licenses, getting the reward is a matter of a few minutes.



 
Re: Magic Items "Blue's Only" Showoff Thread

I just found this. I'll probably get 1 sockets from Larzuk as I always do, but it's worth a shot I guess. ;)

I was shocked when I saw I got 2 sockets.

That is sick, Ill and otherwise nasty, if just short of perfect.

Cause Wow "that does not" Sux!

Thanks, maybe I should do that! :crazyeyes:

Any ideas what to socket it with? Sol's perhaps? And what build would make use of it do you think? :)


 
Re: Magic Items "Blue's Only" Showoff Thread

That's an abbot helm if ever there was one.

When I made my 3 abbots, I was somewhat surprised that getting good resists was a little of a stretch - because of all of the Sol's I'd stuck in my sockets and none of the good PDR gear has much for resists. So socketing Sol's or resists (Orts/Rals for cheap, dual-mod jewels for expensive) is what I'd likely choose - once I had a build picked out for it and an idea of what I'd need more.

BTW, on a similar vein... I can't remember if I already posted this one here or not:

Chromatic Amulet of Life Everlasting
Required Level: 41
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 90
Fingerprint: 0x52131e43
Damage Reduced by 22
All Resistances +30

(I've gambled ~5 lesser ones during my gambling project too)

Abbot sounds interesting..Did it do well in hell? Because I'm not really fond of weak chars.. I was thinking about something like a PDR smiter or something though.

Edit: Nice amulet by the way, if I had one of those too, I'd be golden.

It depends mostly on how much balance you pursue. You can build an abbot that's nearly invincible but kills somewhat slowly (link), or you can compromise a little invincibility for more power (link), and maintain a more reasonable pace. But the emphasis on defensive gear will definitely sap some of your power - it's mostly a question of how much emphasis you make.

A PDR smiter would be sure to work too.

Edit: Nice amulet by the way, if I had one of those too, I'd be golden.

I can hook you up (for free) with one of my spares if you want. IIRC my next-best is something closer to your circlet on the roll (maybe a little worse than the circlet... I don't remember precisely).

PM my your email if you're interested. (I'm using RWM and CRM mods, by the way, and 1.12a too).

SpongebobIII looks really interesting.. Packs a good punch with decent PDR. Will be hard to find an amulet and a shield like that though. Thanks for the links, I'll bookmark SpongebobIII. :thumbsup:

@The amulet: That's a really kind offer, I much appretiate it, but unfortunately I am playing on battle.net at the moment. Thanks again though!!


 
Re: Magic Items "Blue's Only" Showoff Thread

As I mentioned in the 'rares' thread, I recently started from scratch in single player in version 1.07.

You ask why would I go back to the days of bug-ridden everything, getting one-hit killed by MSLE bosses and frustrated as hell trying to finish off endless-teleporting/endless-healing monstrosities?
