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

Found Mal and Ko in the same CS run, so I decided to make Sanctuary for my Tesladin. Very happy with resistances results: 43 base + 68 runeword roll.

@T72on1 running her on P1 or P3 or whatever, is definitely a strategy I thought about doing and had noticed a lot of people do on playthroughs. But all the monsters along the way drop instantly. My Merc is doing over 150 with her bow and the 1 point I put in Enchant and my Fireballs are doing 84-104, so even with strong boss packs I Frost Nova, static once or twice and a Fireball or two and they are all gone in 3 seconds. If they aren't a high health boss pack, a couple fireballs lays waste to them. I use Frost Nova to slow them down and static for only high health.

So putting them on player 1 would definitely drop them in one shot, but the time saved I don't think would equate to much of anything at all, plus this way I have a better chance of finding cool things like Hotspurs along the way! I mostly just avoid monsters unless they are in my immediate path and spend the 2 or 3 seconds clearing them.

EDIT#1: So far I have found 4x Tir Runes vs 18x Tal Runes LOL!

EDIT#2: So far I have found Hotspurs, Death's Gloves + Belt, 19x Tal and probably 100+ chipped gems and still want at least to get at least 2 more Tir, 4 ideally though. Only have found 4x Tir. Crazy game sometimes. My stubbornness refuses to let me continue on with what I have and to just find the Tir Runes along the way. This is probably more Normal Countess Runs I have done than with all of my other current SP RUN of characters combined haha. I tell you what though, I am going to have a nice collection of gems, runes and gold to gamble when I finally get out of this loop and move on to Act 2.

@Luhkoh I missed you post somehow. Are you saying that Player 1 Countess is better than Player 8 as far as rune drops? I left it on P8 just for more items along with way and because of the fact that the monsters already drop instantly. If I do Countess on player 1, more runes will drop? I may have not gotten the Death's Pieces, Hotspurs and some other unique/sets/charms/gems(have obtained over 200 gems and am still doing Countess Runs!!!) and other stuff, but I would have probably had my Tir Runes already then? I have just found my 5th Tir, out of the 54 Runes I have obtained so far.

I will try some runs on P1 to see what happens, I had never heard this before. I thought people, when rerunning Countess, dropped to P1 or P3 in order to make it quicker and easier. I never bothered changing it much because I figured there is a lot of boss packs on the way or in a situation like this, where the monsters drop almost instantly regardless of what setting I have them on, so I might as well get the extra experience and drops.

EDIT: My very first Countess Run on Players 1, was the only run so far that dropped NO RUNE. Did you mean the opposite of what you said?

EDIT:#2: And the very second Countess Run on Players 1, landed me THREE RUNES(Tir,Eth,Tal). I stand corrected. Lmao!

@Jamie Basically the countess will attempt five times to drop from a TC with low chances at runes after which she will attempt three times to drop from a special TC which has very high chances at runes. But she can drop at most 6 items just like any other monster.

If you run her on p7 you decrease the nodrop to 0 for her first 5 drops which means she will do all five drops from the TC with the bad rune odds. So taking into account the six drop maximum for monsters this means that she can drop at most once from the TC with the good rune odds.

So people run her on p1 because then the chance of the first 5 tries resulting in a nodrop is much higher. This then makes it possible for her to drop up to three runes from her special rune TC where you have the really good odds at runes.

That being said the special rune TC has a nodrop as well which explains how it is possible to get no runes at all.

For more precise numbers check out Luhkoh's Runefinding Calc

Edit: Just checked the nodrops for both TCs. The special one reaches nodrop 0 at p5 whereas the nonspecial one reaches it at p7. The nodrop for the special one is already 1 at p3 though so really from that point onwards you can't see any improvements in the special drops, in fact they become worse as outlined above.

@Jocular I always did her on P8 on all my untwinked runs, since I usually am strong enough at that point with me and my merc to run through it easily. I assumed non rune drops would be better and the experience and drops along the way would be worth grabbing. Little did I know I was just slowing myself down in terms of rune drops lol. I'm glad I got super unlucky finding Tir Runes this time around, or I may have never learned about this secret.

I'm using the "embed image/file" button, so I just have to select the screenshot from my local computer to be done.

Not the rarest ethereal unique, but picking up a unique sacred armor is always a bit exciting.

Found by my soon-to-be pit zerker while he's still leveling, so he hasn't much MF gear yet.

Edit: It seems I forgot to cast BO on that run :)
 
BabyBaba is still on his quest to find 5/5 lightning facets at Travincal. Here are some of the drops of this journey, considering he is leveling from 93 to 94, and this milestone is almost hit. All rainbow facets will be revealed in one shot when lvl 94 will be hit (more or less 100 runs to go on /p7)

My FC/Maul Werebear's new main weapon, and I think the first one in this thread. It will be a while before he can use it though.

Thanks @LongingForDeath for the base. Yes indeed, I didn't have something relatively simple as a 4os PB :oops:. I probably left quite some on the ground, thinking I had plenty ... Btw, that base was a 10% superior one, so as often is the case, I got a below average roll.

I couldn't resist leveling my Druid to get that socket quest. So here it is: the toy for his weapon switch:

Base was a 1.07 GPA I traded for with @LongingForDeath. Thanks a lot for that !!!
