Gratz fabnus. I always had a feeling it would end up this way. That's why I started taking it seriously after you returned, but such is life. Glad that you caught it on recording.
Fun times on discord, but as I'm sure you expected, this also probably ends my efforts of finding Stormspire myself. During last years on and off, I managed to snag these - and more due to some stashes being scattered and such, but close enough.

The Cranium Basher - 2
Arkaine's Valor - 18

It feels bad to feel this bad about losing the race to world first but at least DOBBY IS FREE of this curse. Once again, gratz on finding probably the last item in diablo 2.
 
Thanks froz, and I do feel bad for sniping this, I know you wanted to find it really badly and worked extremely hard for it. You deserve enormous credit for helping me get started when I began this late last year, including gifting me some of the gear (2x Grandfather among others) for my barb, as well as being a huge well of knowledge as I tried to figure everything out at the start. Your enthusiasm and determination were instrumental in getting me excited for this project, making me touch the game for the first time since 2016.

As you know, I did essentially no runs between late February and November because of computer issues, so it feels extra dirty to find it within a week/15 runs of coming back to it. It's not particularly fair, and I'd have been (mostly) delighted to have lost the race to you.
 
Good day running Nithalthank.

Not every day you get a find on your best decked out char that you put on them immediately.

I would say I'm still out of practice since I didn't get a screenshot of this, but the blood witches or succumbs or whatever they are in Nithalthank's den had just killed my merc so it was a grab and go situation.

Congrats @Fabian and kudos @frozzzen too I know you've been chasing that item for a long time... RNG can be cruel.

On the bright side, maybe we can get back to PvP now. :P

This needs its own thread!
Agreed.
 
Debating between re-rolling the map for a Balrog Blade rack, and keeping pushing for another Ohm. At the moment keeping running is winning.

Well that turned into a good decision. After running for about one hour since that post:

TheBoodyNine LK Lo 2025-12-05 at 21.27.06.png

Which was turned into this:
TheBloodyNine Grief 2025-12-05 at 21.56.29.jpg
Damage is very nice, IAS doesn't matter because any Grief will hit the 4FPA breakpoint I think.

The rack in the same hut mostly drops Hand Scythes, but occasionally it drops Threshers. I made this in the first 4os one I found:

TheBloodyNine Insight Thresher 2025-12-05 at 21.56.52.jpg

I have re-rolled it for more damage, that will keep my Merc happy until I can find a Reaper's Toll. I think I will start running The Pit for another Phase Blade as I still have an Ohm in the stash.
 
As a collector of throw barb weapons, I can say that there are a surprising number of good throw weapons to be found. Of course, if you are a throw barb they become very hard to find🤣

Ain't that the truth! Tell the game how much you don't need a certain item -- you have to be very convincing about it -- and then it will drop it for you in no time. Once Diablo knows you want something, then the torture begins 😩 😆
 
So completely unrelated to the recent poster here with his complete set characters, I have been doing that myself on and off for a while and just now I decided to do a Cathan's set playthrough. First I made probably the "obvious" choice fire sorc but at like lvl 18 I realized that the set really sucks caster wise but it is relatively decent defense wise and double upgraded cane to shellilagh or whatever it's named offers at least somewhat decent damage. Luckily the set leaves one ring for obvious raven frost and mainly, boots free. Then it occured to me, screw sorc! Monk/Fire trap sin it is. Sorry for the little story, now that train thought went to actually starting to play the char and while questing I got this little twink beauty. It seems so perfect I am afraid I'll never use it :( Still beautiful as a trophy anyway.
