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

What do you mean? It is one of the best places. Look where people run in the rune tournaments :)
I was unaware that it was so popular. I was more just going off anecdotal, I periodically find HRs there and responses are usually "I never find any, that place is cursed". It does make sense that it would be good for them, plenty of density and immunities aren't too bad.

Probably you have received such comments elsewhere and not here on the SPF ;)
The main thing about Arcane Sanctuare are the wraiths, which has elevated chance of rune drops. On players 7 one wraith is like 3 regular monsters iirc.
 
After MFO it seemed that getting a character to level 95 was in reach, and I just hit that milestone. I don't recall getting a character to this level before and was documenting my grail finds through the last stretch.

The Grandfather made it grail -33:

Pelta Lunata made it grail -32:

Cranebeak made it grail -31:

And 2-3 runs before hitting level 95 Seraph's Hymn made it grail -30:

Some other interesting finds during the last stretch were 1 x Cham, 1 x Vex, a few Guls, Ums, and a Pul. In quick succession three rare gloves each with 20 IAS and +2 to Amazon skills trees (1 pair of gloves for each tree). I added several skillers: a bcomb with +5 strength, a shadow disciplines with +40 life, a plain javelin, a +necro curses, a shape-shifting with +5 strength, and a +warcry.
 
I've been enjoying myself at RoF again while also trying to figure out which character to build as my new Baal runner. Dinged to 96 and found a few HRs. I was looking for Jahs but these are more than acceptable.

Hi everyone. Old timers may remember me from back in the day, I still recognize a few names here.

I haven't touched the game since 2016 or 2017, but a couple weeks ago inspiration struck and I dug my old stashes out from an old hard drive in the back of the closet. Have been hanging out with some of the old discord gang as I've re-discovered old characters while marvelling at all the new knowledge in the time travel threads.

Anyway, I've mostly played 1.07, with a bit of 1.14d pitbarb thrown in for good measure. Tonight I tried getting 1.08 to work but my computer didn't want to download that folder due to potential viruses, so instead I did some more 1.07 Trav runs:image_2024-11-30_041002344.png
Not sure if it will ever see any use, but a pretty cool drop. The highest I ever got back in the day was a Vex I believe.

Casual area running brought two more grailers. One is my first ever unique thunder maul:

(Looks like it would be fun to try, but I would need to bring a character to level 87 in order to try it out.)

The other was the only unique pair of shoes I hadn't yet found:

Now at grail -25.
 
Just the sight of a white Ber Rune gives me chills. I only ever found one such, and that was in 1.10 - those stashes are likely long gone, but may ofc be on some HDD stashed away somewhere...
 
I don't think I've ever before seen a unique and one of its minions drop two elite uniques at the same time, but it happened today with my wind druid.

Also, another grailer. This one completes a set.

Huzzah! :D Grail -24. Now that I have the outfits, I definitely want to make a Griswold paladin in 2025.
 
Wow, are you running the RoF superchests @Tupsi ? How many runs in?
Yeah, just a basic RoF map with two super chests quite close to the wp and two stable S/U packs on the way. Running at /p8 for the exp. I don't count my runs but I'm getting about 100k exp every 5 runs at lvl 96.

From 96 to 97 that would mean about 13k runs, I'm currently at 1/3 exp bar.
From 95 to 96 that would mean about 9k runs according to exp penalty ratios.

So totaling about 13k runs so far.

Cham 2
Jah 0
Ber 3
Sur 0
Lo 1
Ohm 1
Vex 1
 
I see you are using 1.14b, anything special with b instead of d? :)
Perhaps same as me: Not realising Blizzards downloadable installer only takes you to B (this might of course have changed since install). I noticed this a few months ago, as I accidentally pressed Battle.net button and to my shock it started downloading. The downloaded installer told me some files needed are missing. I probably deleted them 3 years ago after install so 1.14b it where I am at still.
