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

The final pieces of gear I need to for the Ubers:

1194 Meph runs - Dracul's Grasp
Savine Draculs 18_07_2023 20_31_04.jpg

150 ish Hell Andariel Runs
Savine SoJ 21_07_2023 20_10_08.jpg

465 Hell Andariel Runs - My first pair of Gores in D2R
Savine Gores 15_08_2023 20_27_31.jpg

Uber Diablo didn't need the CB, Martial Arts were enough.

Nice resists, same about the exp.

Time to respec.
 
Game has a strange sense of humor tonight.

Currently farming 1,000,000,000 gold on very well optimized GF barb. Today he wears 99% GF Crown of Thieves

Tomorrow he wears:

I'll take it!​

Then game starts to make more jokes:
1692305339175.png
Actually halfway decent...​

Oh and thanks game:
1692305406051.png
Great combo. Great. Can't wait to make a character to use that at level 31 ;(​

+1 Perfect grail @Timinator

Ending on a strong note, I thought this was just another Metalgrid. Until I looked more closely at the rolls...
+400-450 To Attack Rating (varies)
All Resistances +25-35 (varies)
+300-350 Defense (varies)

Wowzers!​

Made some runewords for my FoHdin who is untwinked today. I was going to make "Enigma," "CtA," and "HotO" but only managed the first two.

I realized I saved a lot of flails early on when I was looking to make the "Black" runeword and then quit picking them up. That's why I'm thinking none got 4os in the cube--they were probably too low an ilvl. Silly me. I guess one will drop eventually.

I'm so happy with the CtA roll! I fully expected a terrible roll.

edit: Anyone did some records of a number of TZ runs and loot they got? Because aside from the obvious Meph and Andariel, I get crazy stuff from other areas as well. When I was doing MFO with Pindleskin I could "count" on one good qualifier every 10 hours. Now, targeting specific terror zones I was able to get much better items in a lot less time invested.

Up until now I was playing without the ladder runewords, but now it's time for spirit shield and Insight. 99 here we come :)
 
A full hour of terrorizing Andy and this is not what I expected.

1692581017480.png

The Eschuta's wasn't even dropped by Andy! It does get a little better in that this doesn't include the 4 pieces of Sigon's set that I didn't even bother picking up.

On the real plus side I gained 4 of these low-level items to my level 99 grail for a total of 345.
 
I spent about 45 minutes farming Terrorized Andy this evening and scored a second Mara’s, another Raven Frost, and The Hand of Broc (first time finding these gloves in D2R iirc).

Two nice Paladin torches there too. I went for 21 torches to have a high chance of getting an Assassin torch. Zero Amazon torches though, just goes to show it is never guaranteed.
 
I somewhere lost count but I must have done over 600 Cow runs with most of them being terrorized. Found only 3 High Runes which literally dropped in the same day. Never had such a bad luck before. I can't really describe my anger over this...

Pretty good charm out of it. I wonder if it being terrorized changes something on runes. That is a bummer. This weekend I hope to get some runs in. Not likely I'll find any high runes but I'll let you know over the coming weeks!

Over 5 months since my last post and boy is this ever a monumental one. Along with the Infinity I already posted, this is the culmination of ~8000 LK runs (I do not use run counter but this is actually my conservative estimate) and a dream piece for HC:

Enigma.png


What a journey. I've been through quite a lot in life this year and it's really showed in my availability (and desire) to sit at my PC but lately I've been in better spirits and was determined to finish this item. Hardcore has been a refreshing project with this character. I started my single player D2 experience many years ago on another forum as exclusively HC and transitioned to SC when I first started posting on the old version of these forums. Awareness is bar none the most important thing to be mindful of to keep your character alive, even though death is a necessary acceptance of playing this way. Reaction speed to mash that FRP or the ESC key is a great benefit (and has saved me more times than I'd like to admit) but being aware of potentially dangerous situations as they unfold is the best tool. Worth pointing out that by my count I'm 30,000+ LK runs of 2 campfire maps all time without one single direct Ber drop from a superchest. The one that I had from this character was from a poppable. :LOL: Here's a shot of my rune stash before cubing up to Jah (I spent another hour farming for Sapphires and Diamonds after having the runes necessary to cube up...)
Some of the noteworthy drops along the way:

Runes (along with a handful of Pul-Ist not pictured)
Gul #7, #8
Vex #4
Ohm #4, #5, #6
Sur #4. #5

Other
Rack'd Thunderstroke #2 (again not a +4)
Razortail (from some terrorized Pindle attempts, not safe lol)
Rare Ring #4 (FCR/LL/4x resists)
GC Cold #3
GC Lightning #4
SC 7 MF #11, #12 (seem to have missed one along the way)
Ruby SC of Vita
220x Jewel
184x Ral
223x P Amethyst
257x P Gem (Non P Amethyst, probably should've started picking these sooner...)

Next up is Hell Cows to 93 (hopefully replenishing some of my decimated rune stash in the process) to craft some caster amulets. I also started a HC Assassin but more on that another time. Cheers!
 
My two Werewolves, Jack and Lobo, each went through Act 5 Nightmare yesterday and today. They got a total of 3 Lum, 1 Ko, 1 Fal, 1 Lem, 1 Pul and 1 Mal. I'm not bragging, I'm stunned. I've taken character through Hell and didn't get that sort of rune drop, let alone just from Nightmare Act 5.

Here are the Mal and Pul

I recently began running Mephisto to put together the last few pieces of equipment for my FoH/Smiter. One thing I needed was Dracul's grasp for Ubers.

I had a pair drop a few days ago, but today imagine my surprise when I got two more pairs in back-to-back runs!

Still waiting on that Arachnid Mesh. :)
 
Playing my Nova Sorc a bunch lately and feeling a bit annoyed that I’ve yet to find a single Lightning skiller (compared to three Cold and two Fire). I decided to re-roll some GCs with gems collected from questing older characters. Got one on the first try! 😳 Then nothing else—but at least I got one!

Relatively rare drop ... but ultimately not very useful. Wished it was a death's web or a tyraels .... Terrorized andy and off some rando monster.

Andy dropped some okay stuff ... best was a decent reapers (still looking for an eth one this time around) and a bunch of rings/ammys.

Dunno if this is allowed, please let me know if I am breaking the rules.
Instead of posting individual drops, here are my drops in table form. 20,000 Terrorized runs over a span of 5 months.

EDIT: forgot to mention, did all 20k runs on the same map
