I got a Sol rune from HF, so I want to make some caster boots, and that means I need to get some wyrmhide boots.

@WoRG's guide says they can't be shopped, so I'm trying to gamble them, but I don't know if it's even possible to gamble wyrmhide boots. I've started doing full clears from Act 1 to farm up gold.

Any ideas on the best way to get those boots?

You can gamble them in Hell. You have to gamble the "Boots" base of course. It can take a few tries to get some. I'm often doing the same, farming up gold and gambling for Wyrmhide Boots and Vambraces etc. I like LK for farming gold though, quick if you have a Sorc. Circlets-Diadems always spawn magic or higher which can be an easy 25k, so those can be a good rack to find.

They can also be racked if you need to do some lk running for other reasons

Yep, I've been gambling the boots base item. Still no luck after 4 or 5 tries, but I'll keep at it. I left the game running overnight.

The funny part is that I have around 1 million gold in ATMA, and I'm not sure exactly why I've kept it there... The next time I'm muling, I'll definitely put at least a few hundred k gold in the stash.

Oh yeah, you're gonna have to try a few more times. Usually takes about 1 in 20-30 gambles in my experience. Not sure what the actual odds are.

Yup, I'm still trying. I've done maybe 15 or so by now. I'm doing full clears of every area, starting in act 1. Every time I get up to 100k gold, I go and gamble 3 sets of boots. I'm going out-of-town for two weeks tomorrow, so I hope I get one today.

My character is level 60... is that too low to gamble wyrmhide boots?

The chances of gambles to be upgraded to exceptional or elite increase with your level

Okay, that's what I thought. I wasn't sure if there were hard level cutoffs as well.

I'll give it a few more tries, oh well.

Thanks, @entwilighter and @ziambe!

Maybe try gambling in act 4 or 5. i vaguely remember having a suspicious amount of failed gambles for myrmidon greaves in act 3 or earlier, such that i thought there must be something i dont know...

I have been working on my 1.07 Grail every now and then. Today was a now and NM was a target.

Arm of King Leoric (I didn't clear the game this far, it just came to my mind =):

And Grail status is now -1 (damn boots, at least I know where to look).
