Andy Gives up the Goods - The D2 item finds thread (November 2011)

Previous Item Find Thread

So,

I've been running NM Andariel for awhile now. For 1500 runs to be precise. Yesterday in the 1200-1300 stretch of runs, I picked up a couple of unique ring drops about 25 runs apart and threw them in the stash. Kind of ho-hum at this point, as I've gotten more nagels and manalds than an entire sept could make use of.

But then it was time to mule:

The Stone of Jordan
Ring
Required Level: 29
Fingerprint: 0xa4f5fce7
Item Level: 49
Version: Expansion 1.10+
+1 to All Skills
Adds 1 - 12 Lightning Damage

And

The Stone of Jordan

Click to expand...


I had quite frankly nearly given up on getting one to drop, to the point where I resorted to doing a giveaway in the trade forums to motivate myself to do some more runs.

To give you an idea of how rare this item is to me ... I once found a ZOD and an IST in a cattle.net cows game in 1.09, and I found another ZOD in SP here a few years back.

The SoJ is now equally rare to ZOD runes in my experience, up from completely nonexistent :)

congrats on the double SOJ drop. The only one I have, also dropped quite unexpectedly, a couple months back questing in Act 5 Normal from a random monster!! Didn't even know they could drop in Normal, picked it up thinking ... well another Nagel for MF. just stunned when identified.

yesterday found my first perfect shimmering small charm of dex in LK.

Not as damaging as suggested by the Wayback Time Machine/D2Realms but might still be pretty good for a Frenzy Barb . . . you know, once you get to clvl 79 :\ .
 
Re: Andy Gives up the Goods - The D2 item finds thread (November 2011)

Hey HanShotFirst those are some neat charms!

When you're wanting to know how an item will look in 1.07 I find the best place to look is the wiki. It lists all the uniques in a table, then underneath that table it lists the 1.08 stats, which in most cases are the same as 1.07 stats. You can see here that your 1.07 hammers match the stats listed near the bottom of the page for the 1.08

Edit: I should also note that the damage will increase if you forward them, as damage on all elite bases was increased in later versions, and gets corrected for forwarded items.
 
Re: Andy Gives up the Goods - The D2 item finds thread (November 2011)

HanShotFirst, those are some AMAZING charms...my notes had indicated that 1.07 GCs could get up to 20 res all, but I've never actually seen one before now...

*Brain explodes contemplating the value of such a charm that also got the Vita suffix*

Can I borrow your charm luck for a minute? I'll give it back when I'm done...:wink:
Heck, for that matter, can I borrow your rack? I'm 1800+ runs into a Legendary Mallet rack...it just refuses to drop gold for me...

Wow ... does anyone know if the upgraded online store cd-keys will work with a disc install? This kind of thing makes me want to run old versions heh.

No, they won't. The online keys are 26 digit and the old box keys are 16.

Those are awesome charms. Most I've gotten on a gc is 16.

I didn't know you could get uniques through Gambling......I think on of my characters is going to get hooked at the casinos, where's the best place to gamble?



 
Re: Andy Gives up the Goods - The D2 item finds thread (November 2011)

I usually go to Anya to gamble, but I am not sure how much of a difference it makes. The only SOG I have ever found came from a regular chest that was by Shenk. I have had good luck from regular chests and guard corpses, the highest rune I have is a Lo and it dropped from a guard corpse.
 
Re: Andy Gives up the Goods - The D2 item finds thread (November 2011)

Failed uniques are one thing, failed sets are another:
Death Hand

Diablo goes Warcraft

You serious or just stuttering?

Old joke..

Re: Andy Gives up the Goods - The D2 item finds thread (November 2011)

Crazy jimsfriend, big congrats and also FFFUUU for being stupidly lucky :)

First 1.08 HLW I've seen on the forum ever, pretty special imo.

Edit: This is the kind of drop new IFTs should be started over :D
 
Re: Andy Gives up the Goods - The D2 item finds thread (November 2011)

Wat d...

3 unique amulets in 200 runs? Where have you been buying luck? o_O

Gratz for nub luck. That's all :)
 
Re: Andy Gives up the Goods - The D2 item finds thread (November 2011)

.....wow. major stylepoints for doing it barechested too.
crazy luck, congrats! I can imagine some people tearing their hair out haha.
 
Re: Andy Gives up the Goods - The D2 item finds thread (November 2011)

Now that's just ridiculous. Some might even say as to decide whether how far despite being impossible. I don't even see how as far as even might want to go look for such an item when it's obviously too hard when one goes looking as far as one can despite such as the amulet. How far will you go despite wanting to go look further on such. I hope you're miserable as far as you want to go anyone always can look further because such luck will always return back to do look even when trying to find despite one's own want to to find. I think I'm madder than nulio right now.
