One, Two, Buckle my Shoe - Item Find Thread - Mar 2021

[Triple Helix]

I could Larzuk it and get my Infinity now, but I'm still interested in a Thresher map. Sigh. I know that I saw a breakdown of elite polearms recently and it showed how these different bases worked well/poorly, but now I can't seem to find it. Does anyone remember that post or can find it?

Edit: I found that breakdown, it's here.

If nothing else, threshers just look cool IMO. If only the animation for them looked like how a sickle/scythe is used, it would be wicked.

To be frankly most chars that use a Infinity merc deal themselves enough damage.

The actual base matters on very few, as long as it's eth elite.

CV should be avoided tho, because it's only usable very late for no real benefit.

 

[HanShotFirst]

Well, it's been a week. I created my second D2R character (a Hammerdin) and I've spent all my D2R high runes.

No suspense on the first item:

Enigma
Light Plate
JahIthBer
Defense: 872
Durability: 55 of 60
Required Level: 65
Required Strength: 41
Fingerprint: 0x46e1ea6f
Item Level: 79

Increase Maximum Life 5%
Damage Reduced by 8%
+14 Life after each Kill
15% Damage Taken Goes To Mana
90% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items (Based on Character Level)
3 Sockets (3 used)

My two Sur Runes, and two Ber Runes went here. The only question was Light Plate or Breast Plate. In the end I decided that I liked the look of the Light Plate on more classes ... especially the Paladin!

But then came the items where the rolls actually matter (somewhat):

Up first, the Heart of the Oak:
Still pretty low stakes considering I had two Vex Runes, seven Gul Runes, and deep down really wasn't too concerned about getting 30 or 40 resist all.

Spoiler

Heart of the Oak
Flail

One Hand Damage: 1 - 24

Increase Maximum Mana 15%
All Resistances +39
Level 4 Oak Sage (25/25 Charges)
Level 14 Raven (60/60 Charges)
4 Sockets (4 used)

Sweet! I'll take it and run. 30 would have been fine, but 39 does feel so much better!

Next up, the Call to Arms:
Now, this one I did care about. Six Battle Orders is the hope ... one is just soul crushing ... I had one Ohm Rune.

Spoiler

Call to Arms
Crystal Sword
AmnRalMalIstOhm
One Hand Damage: 18 - 56

5 Sockets (5 used)



Okay ... I guess I can still work with that ... I mean, 50 seconds more duration would have been nice ... but I can live with it ...

Nope. I could not live with that. I leveled my Hammerdin to clvl 90 in The Pit before I felt lucky enough to take another shot. Bring in the 'spare' Vex Rune and a couple of Gul Runes! This time I went with a Double Axe:

Spoiler

Call to Arms
Double Axe
AmnRalMalIstOhm
One Hand Damage: 18 - 47
Durability: 12 of 24
Required Level: 57
Required Strength: 43

30% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
5 Sockets (5 used)

Okay. Now this I can live with. Of course, six to Battle Orders would have been awesome ... but the additional 30 second duration offered by this CTA is enough to appease me for now . Maybe when I have more Ohm Runes that I know what to do with I'll take another shot ... perhaps in a War Scepter next time ...

Here's how my Sacred Targes (racked in LK) turned out:

Spirit
Sacred Targe
TalThulOrtAmn
Defense: 134
Chance to Block: 0
Durability: 39 of 45
Required Level: 47
Required Strength: 86
Fingerprint: 0x5017779e

Cold Resist +35%
All Resistances +45
Lightning Resist +35%
Poison Resist +35%
+7 Magic Absorb
Attacker Takes Damage of 14
4 Sockets (4 used)

And on switch:

Spirit
Sacred Targe
TalThulOrtAmn
Defense: 150
Chance to Block: 0
Durability: 45 of 45
Required Level: 47
Required Strength: 86
Fingerprint: 0xd92b5a43
Item Level: 79
Version: Resurrected
+2 to All Skills
+35% Faster Cast Rate
+55% Faster Hit Recovery
+250 Defense vs. Missile

Cold Resist +35%
All Resistances +44
Lightning Resist +35%
Poison Resist +35%
+3 Magic Absorb
Attacker Takes Damage of 14
4 Sockets (4 used)

I showed the 45 resist all shield to Larzuk, as I just couldn't bear the thought of it cubing to one socket. That roll was my first to hit 35% FCR ... 106 mana, +7 magic absorb ... yeah, no need to continue rolling for higher I'd say ...

I wasn't concerned at all about the roll on the 44 resist all shield that was going on my switch ... and it rolled 35% FCR right away. Nice mana roll too ... though, the magic absorb leaves a bit to be desired ... but, oh well ... the roll there didn't matter anyways ...

Oh! And I also made this for leveling:

Spirit
Akaran Targe
TalThulOrtAmn
Defense: 118
Chance to Block: 0
Durability: 20 of 20
Required Level: 26
Required Strength: 44
Fingerprint: 0xf9ce1ccb
Item Level: 79
Version: Resurrected
+2 to All Skills
+35% Faster Cast Rate
+55% Faster Hit Recovery
+250 Defense vs. Missile
+22 to Vitality
+103 to Mana
Cold Resist +35%
All Resistances +44
Lightning Resist +35%
Poison Resist +35%
+8 Magic Absorb
Attacker Takes Damage of 14
4 Sockets (4 used)

It came from the same LK rack as my Sacred Targes . I gave it one roll, and that's what I got! As a result, I was able to level my Hammerdin while hitting the 105 FCR breakpoint! It was pretty fun.

Up next: Time to find my Hammerdin a map that meets both my needs for Mephisto and Chaos ... Fingers crossed. And then, once I find one or two more things ... time to create a Zealot for Ubers and Pandemonium Diablo!

Edit: Hmm, an ITF Thread post with no screenshots, that's kind of lame ... hmm ... here's my most photogenic moment from The Pit:

 

[ziambe]

On the surface, this looks like just another key...



but its number #902 so it means the first phase of my project to gather 100 torches is complete

Other highlights of this 90-100 hour adventure include:

Metalgrid
3x mara's
1 SoJ
8x skillers with suffix
5 ist (from countess - wow!)
6 Mal
8 Um
6 pul

1 gul
3 ohm
1 cham

 

[corale]

200 Meph p1 runs and 300 p5 Pindle runs (H) got me a few nice items, but not much that my sorc actually needs.

This drop though, pretty sweet at~300% MF.

Spoiler

Lucky to get Stormshield early in my MFing.

Spoiler

Other notable (to me) drops are Buriza, multiple Raven Frost, and an ethereal Cryptic Axe that sadly ended up with 5 sockets.

 

[d2lover]

perf 4s nonsup dusk


(could have been tyraels grr)



perfect



This makes it grail -5, 3 of which are tc3

 

[Excalibur]

Oooh, such a waste.

 

[snickersnack]

I got my first plain Cadaceus today; it was either CS or the Pit. Cube socketing was lucky:

Caduceus
One Hand Damage: 37 - 43
Durability: 49 of 70
Required Level: 66
Required Strength: 97
Required Dexterity: 70
Fingerprint: 0x2d461d71
Item Level: 88
Version: Resurrected
+150% Damage to Undead
+1 to Sanctuary (Paladin Only)
4 Sockets (0 used)

Aside from the staffmod making repairs more costly, this is what I needed to make Rift.

I don't have much melee gear though, so I'll need to wait at least until I find Gore Rider and/or gFace to make a riftsin, but that'll be pretty awesome when it does happen.

 

[LouB]

I haven't been doing many Travincal or LK runs lately and decided I really wanted Chains of Honor and that I had no immediate use for two Sur runes. So I cubed them to get a Ber and made Chains of Honor in an Archon Plate.

 

[d2lover]

Oh, I overlooked class specific and set items, so I'm grail -7

Sander's cap and some necro head

also way too many cranium bashers and no earthshifter grr

Maybe wait a bit until you get a Caddy without staffmods, it's no fun when you have to spend your life savings on a playthrough. I played a riftsin through to Hell a few times and a War Scepter always worked too. The damage difference should not be noticeable, since you don't have anything to boost your damage anyway (except might merc maybe).

 

[d2lover]

With what skill will you attack? standard attack or kick?

 

[Oblivious]

I wanted to try my luck doing LK runs as well in this post 1,13 era of Rune extravaganza, so I geared up (practically nekkid) my highest lvl sorc (79) and rolled a map with 6 chests.

I proceded to find in the course of 3 days: 1 Pul (SS didn't work) and 1 Vex Rune (ditto).
So I went ahead and rolled my first "high" Runeword for D2R
*drumroll...*

ofc a HotO.


Meh just +32 but still...

So another few runs later, another Vex dropped, but I died trying for a SS:



and then ofc it took 4 million tries to snatch the Vex itself but anyway:



I'm flabbergasted right now...

I think I'm not gonna see another hr for 4 years now

Anyway have a nice day !

 

[abridged]

last ~1-1.5k runs, some ums, puls, a gul. finally landed the big 'un

time for a break

 

[NorthDakota]

@abridged not sure if you're doing it on purpose as there are some reasons to used the "resurrected" item spacing, but you can make the items be spaced out like how they are in 1.14 by changing an option

To change it, go to the online tab in the character selection screen. under the play button there's a blue gear, and in those options there's "item spacing options" you can choose "resurrected" or "legacy". resurrected is what you have it set to now, legacy is how items were spaced in 1.14. changing this option also changes it in single player.

If you can't connect to the internet, You can also find this setting in the settings.json which is located in your character save folder. It's called item wide spacing or something and you can change the value after it from a 1 to a 0 there to get the regular item spacing.

grats on the ber my guy

I'll be using kicks, so the repair costs don't matter for the sin, but I'd want to make a frost/shock zealot at some point, so repairs would matter then. It's only a Gul, so I should probably make one in a war scepter and then another in a plain caddy later for the zealot.

 

[Helvete]

I was able to level my Hammerdin while hitting the 105 FCR breakpoint!

No such thing, did you mean 125 FCR?

 

[J-Dog]

I just made a Treachery to a 3os Dusk Shroud thinking:

"Even though you got lucky finding a Ber rune from LK after maybe a dozen of runs it's probably ok to make Treachery into this Dusk Shroud you were saving for Enigma. You'll find many good 3os bases before you farm that Jah from LK..."

Put the Treachery on a lvl 81 Fishyzon and proceeded from Pandemonium fortress to River of Flame. I think you know where this is going:

still getting used to it, but it is nice to not have stuff landing in the bonfire
