A ROSE by any other name - Item Find Thread April 2017

If you do want to run Travincal, the general consensus is to run it at /p3 if you can handle it, otherwise /p1. Higher than /p3 is never worth it, unless you have a very, very strong character. And even then I don't think many people do it.

Most important defensive aspect to run Travincal is Fire res for you and your merc, and ideally a form of Fire Absorb. Also try to increase your merc's Fire Res beyond 75, otherwise he often still gets fried. Typical gear for that is Guardian Angel and Kira's Guardian. Fortitude is very well too though, so if you can get him to 75% fire res, some leech and a high damage weapon he is usually fine too.

Another aspect that is important is to have a good map, which means all members clumbed together on the outside balcony. This way you can greatly increase your run times.

LK is definitely the best place to farm if you want the usual stuff like Infinity, Grief, Enigma ... If your character is capable of it though, I personally find Travincal more fun, and it can yield you runes all the way up to Cham !!

Good luck .

A propos rune finds: I already mention that I found another Jah on Friday? Another one and I can make ZOD!

Just joking. I'm not doing this and I think it just counts as finishing the rune grail if you actually do it... if upgrading counts at all!

Thanks for the replies guys.

What's a decent place to search for a 4 socketed shield for a Spirit base? I'll see if I can put together a Wealth as well, at least for now.

 

[T72on1]

AT, Mausoleum, ...

 

[KO Bossy]

Should I be running them on /P8? Same for the Pit?

 

[T72on1]

Pits is another good place to farm them yeah. /p8 is best if you can do it fast, because you get more drops that way. If you can't do it fast however, don't sweat it, and tune down to a lower setting you can run quite fast.

If you are really after socketables only, try to remove as much mf from your gear as possible. If you want to combine things, that doesn't matter too much, and the socketables will still drop eventually.

From Hrus Magic Find Guide:

"With 200 MF You get only 8% decrease in number of white (grey) items from regular monsters, while you have 2.11 x better chance for unique items (from all monsters)!"

So it really isn't worth removing MF in most cases.

Running Nihlathak has potential for awesome charms, right? I'm also using both of my shrines to get even more pgms for rolling, all the time.

Fungal Grand Charm of Vita
Grand Charm
Required Level: 83
Fingerprint: 0xefd1e9d8
Item Level: 95
Version: Expansion 1.10+
+1 to Poison and Bone Skills (Necromancer Only)
+44 to Life

O M G!

My highest Vita skiller ever!! And for a skilltab I do actually play with!

Now to get that 45er! To top this, a Barb Combat skiller won't do I'm afraid!

This reminds me of my ETF online days where i used to stockpile mules with gems to get to my gear great way to get starting after a ladder reset

 

[Pb_pal1]

In anticipation of the MFO coming up at some point, I managed to snag some time last night to do exactly 5 AT runs with my Blizzy.

Hexing Grand Charm of Vita
Grand Charm
Required Level: 69
Fingerprint: 0x56abaabd
Item Level: 88

Seems like my luck is exactly where it used to be, misplaced and confused.

I have been pretty lucky with my Lower Kurast runs this week (Basically 100% of my gameplay this week has been LK runs)
Sevaral skiller grand charms found (two of them were Javelin and Spear, and one was lightning skiller - my first ever LOL)
Sevaral small charms of vita with AR and lightning or fire res
Runes: about 8 Fal, 4 (I think) Lem, 1 Um, 1 Mal and 1 Ohm (see figure below)
Many decent rare amulets and rings with dual leech, res and stat boost
Rare Orb with +2 sorc skills and +3 enchant

@drmalawi good to see you running this sir!

Yeah it is actually quite fun. Did not think I could like it. I kill some boss packs now and Then to keep it even more interesting
But i have to keep it at level 3 or 5since this sorc is FO CL hybrid

 

[BKC]

im doing it with a FO/Orb hybrid

 

[helvete1]

im doing it with a FO/Orb hybrid

Unless there's a typo involved, I'd be interesting in what this build is? FO is the only orb, right?

 

[D2DC]

FO/orb sorc isn't nearly as powerful as my BH/hammerdin!

Major pics of my recent hauls...

 

[KO Bossy]

From yesterday...

I quite like the Pally ammy, I should decide what kind I want to make...


And always remember to pop those chests in LK, I've found 2 Vex and a Sur doing just that in the past 3 or so days. Although I shouldn't complain, all I've been finding in terms of HRs are Vex and Sur, I'd love some variety. Maybe an Ohm or Ber or Lo for a change?
