A Breath of Fresh Air ... A New Item Find Thread

[Elrond_Hubbard]

Stormcrow the Wind Druid made it to Patriarch last night. I stack MF on all new characters trying to scoop low level uniques, and he delivered! Rixot's Keen from a chest in A1 Dark Wood, and then hilariously NM Baal dropped Knell Striker with 0% MF. Hand of Broc and Lenymo prove as elusive as ever.

The changes to summons make the windy a lot more fun. I'm stacking leftover points into Dire Wolf and he keeps the whole zoo out. They do a great job of soaking up arrows.

But where to put it into?

A few days ago I found another Cham rune. Terrorized Mephisto dropped it IIRC. Still no D2R Zod so far. I upgraded two Chams into one (and I could make another one now), but that doesn't count. I found a pre-D2R Zod, however.

BTW, rune drops aren't any better in terror zones in comparison to places where all runes can drop.

We've had this discussion in at least 2 threads in the past year with different outcomes.

One thing I can say is that unless you use it in a bow or only ever intend for a Merc to use, do NOT make it in a superior item as the repair costs become huge! I have a Doom Berserker Axe and Metamorphosis both in superior bases and both are high.

My decision was to wait for a second Cham and make a Zod. @drmalawi decided to make Pride.


Ultimately, I think it comes down to your playstyle, build choices and which of the six rune words you think will be the most fun to use.

Cham shako or bust

 

[Elrond_Hubbard]

I decided to squeeze in some runs before bedtime.... am I ever glad I did! tried and failed to get a screen shot but I just had Sur and Death's Fathom (22/27/37) drop from the same pack in TZ Stony Tomb on my blizz sorc. Her lucky day! Got a -4/+5 facet sitting in the stash to stick in this Fathom. My first Fathom ever. Second Sur rune since restart, now if I can just find a Jah I can make my first Enigma...

Edit: Still can't figure out how to screen shot in game, but I dropped a Vex in AT an hour later!

Just made HOTO for my Hammerdin and Windy to share. Only 31@ but they're both rocking Spirit ATM so no complaints from either.

 

[Shuffleblast]

I've spent about a week hunting for the 1.07 wizardspike and it fiiinaaaally dropped - and yes like this... wtf! Still no SoJ after about 150 uniq rings, but anyway, now I can start my pvp trapper.

 

[LouB]

With the exception of Act 4 Hell has been very nice to my Frenzy Barb. A second Gul on Monday night


and now an Ohm in Act 5

 

[LouB]

Not sure where I am going to use it, but it isn't going in my junk jewel stash


and he continues to find decent runes. Note the two Ko runes in the stash both from the Halls of Anguish.

Insta-post required!! Stared at this item a moment and had to check if i was dreaming...

Once in a while I find a nice unique...
Once in a long while I find a perfectly rolled unique...
Once in a very long while I find a nice rune...

But only insanely rare occasions fulfill my

Ok, ok, this is the real hype:

My Bowazon wants that Tiara so bad.

Gambled or a drop???

Another beta Bramble then?

 

[jimsfriend]

I am jealous. Of the Sur, and the 35maxer. Are you using a run counter on your trav runs?

 

[LprMan]

Nope, I haven't counted the runs. Based on exp, I believe it's closer to 10k runs than 5k runs (my barb is almost lvl 96 from Trav alone). Find Item is at 51%. Other high runes I've got from Trav are Ist, 2x Gul and Vex. That Vex went into a beta HotO.

 

[frozzzen]

Wtf is happening on this page :S

That Vex went into a beta HotO.

Okay, I heard about beta Hoto, but haven't actually seen it anywhere. Is there any functional difference between this and modern variant? I have Vex in 1.10a that I saved for rainy day...

So it's not just empty post, here are 3/300 rare jewels in 1.08 that seem very good. There are some others but these are only ones worth screenshot imo.

 

[Kruemelmonschda]

Dusted off my UT99 Necromancer and back to LK runs after getting an Infinity base in cows (secretly hoping for a JAH rune there). He was quickly rewarded

Spoiler: Hooray

He even found a poor man's JMOD

Spoiler: Poor Man's JMOD

I now have 2 Ber, 4 Sur, 1 Ohm, 2 Vex, .. from LK. One more Ber and we are ready to go. Aiming for Enigma, Infinity, CtA and HotO. Even if cubing two Bers for a Jah breaks my Diablo heart but i think there is no alternative. Afterwards i think i will visit Meph a lot to get some base uniques. Still sporting "Stealth", "Lore", etc.
