Awww...I missed you too, D2 - Item Find Thread April 2019

@Babyhell congrats!

I've been doing ventar runs to lvl up my barb, and the drops have been better than expected. 2 facets, an arreats, and then yesterday Mr. Ventar was kind enough to drop me this

I ID'd that so quickly and casually. Was so sure it was stonecrusher #2 :)
 
NM Questing:

Vermilion Jewel of Carnage
Jewel
Required Level: 50
Fingerprint: 0xf42f3273
Item Level: 68
Version: Expansion 1.10+
+28 to Maximum Damage
 
Since last thursday I spent all my D2 time in the tunnels to sort of 'force' a Griffon's. I found my AT sorc abandoned at level 94 and over the last seven days I pushed her to level 95. Sadly no Griffon's fell but this is a pretty nice haul anyway:

This includes a total of 9 grailers for me:
Azurewrath
CoA
Dragonscale
Gut Siphon
Steel Pillar
Steelrend
The Grandfather
The Hand of Broc
Wisp Projector
Accounting for 1.09 (?) Azurewrath and a 'missing' facet which I found but socketed this brings me to grail -28 and set grail -3, all of which are Cow King items. I might add myself to the grail tables once I hit like -10. (Wisp Projector was the last jewelry item for me as well :))

Some of the important rolls:
Andariel's 9/30
CoA 1os :(
Caddy 228/4os (my second caddy and it is exactly one %ED better than the old one :rolleyes:)
Shadow Dancer +2/16
Steel Shade +8 (both...)
Steelrend +45/+15
Reaper's Toll not eth
Wisp Projector 11/14MF :confused:

Didn't really make many screenshots except for the Lo and two special guest appearances:
I found more of their kind but they're so squishy they usually die before I can get a good look :p

Grats on all the juicy stuff !!! There's only a handful of items I've never found in my entire D2 career, and CoA is one of them. So seeing that it's not even a grailer for you ... tough for my eyes ...

AFAIK 1.09 Azurewrath isn't taken into account for the grail, since it's a GoMule report thingy. So you are looking at 504 items in total, not 505. I always forget if facets count for the grail or not.

Edit: I just checked. Facets and Gheed's are listed in the GoMule report, but don't count towards grail.

@Jocular I have an Avenger planned, so will probably go in the armour. Just not sure what armour yet. Could be something from 1.07 with 4os, Griswold’s of i also have a Jewelers Ancient Armour of Balance which looks cool.

But CoA is under grailers ;) I'm still not too happy about it, only one socket doesn't inspire me to invest heavily into it :D

The grail table thread lists all eight facets as distinct items but really it doesn't matter too much since you get them all just running Travincal. So it's 504 grail items and I'm still at -28. (btw to the game they really are 8 distinct items)

How is it with 1.09 Azurewrath: If I find one in 1.09 and forward it, does it stay a unique? After all there is no unique CS in 1.13...
 
No idea on the actual number but it has been pretty much the entirety of the leveling process from 94 to 95, so quite a lot since it was p1. (probably more than 1000 though)

What players setting did you run on? I think it's very hard to beat p1 for MF no matter what. In this case it's even harder since I stuck very close to the gear Albatross outlined in his guide with only minor alterations. (Tal Rasha combo + HotO + 105%)
 
Gotcha yeah i estimate ~2400 runs to go from 94-95 on p1, so certainly makes sense you found more :) But still seems like an exceptional haul. I did mine about half on p3 and about half on p5. It was on my untwinked 99er though so she had just about 300 mf and i wanted exp gain to be pretty good while keeping the runtimes reasonable. I did some test runs and found p5 to be a nice spot for me (70-80% mf efficiency of p1 and 70-80% exp efficiency of p8)
 
After crashing my car last week, I needed some 'alone time' and I ended playing D2 quite a lot. Here's some interesting finds:

First surprise was Pindle dopping Mal. And the second when Andy dropped Knell Striker (a TC3 grailer).
I have no idea what to do with Lo. I'll probably save it for one of those Cham runewords (I'm sitting on 2 Chams for some months now).

Arachs! I still only have one after all these years. Imo one of the most build defining items and a serious bottleneck if you're going to permanently equip characters. Grats. I would give 2 bers for 1 arachs. Dunno what it is about that item for me. I have 2 griphons. 1 arachs. And just about every caster uses it.
