Beyond Infinity... To the Item Find Thread

[LouB]

From a rack on countess level 2. Elegant blades are a very common drop from this rack and today It yielded



and after the Countess I ran the Pits and found this

 

[Trim]

What are the "odds" of getting the above superchest drop of 1 rare and 2 uniques?

They are relatively terrible but it's fairly rare for this scenario.

I don't have math to back me up, but I feel like it's more common than one might expect. When I was running AT hard in 1.14, I'd see a lot of overlap in item quality when popping its sparkly chest. If one item from it was a unique, other equippable items from the chest would often be unique, too. The reason you got a rare is because there are no unique or set Blade Bows, so it was downgraded to the best possible quality.

Took two screenies within the last few weeks which show off the same scenario. One with three uniques from the Pits chest, and another with two uniques + a magic. My belief is I didn't get three on the latter because it dropped two brandistocks, and since one was already unique it couldn't roll a second one from the same instance.

Edit: Found an old forum post on sparkly chests after a quick google search. Interesting read if you enjoy the hidden mechanics of D2.

Spoiler

Speaking of screenies, here's a pretty one from a couple weeks back. Items were from a small pack of standard enemeis guarding a normal chest in the Pits:


TC 84 & TC 72 from normal enemies sitting right next to one another. Lucky moment. I miss muling programs to show off the ilevels.


Handed that off to @John Remedy as we've got some new Hell characters in the works, and his barb would make better use of it than any build I've currently got.

And speaking of MP games, Remedy and I had some fortune this past weekend. First, Hell Duriel rewarded us with a Mal, probably the best drop we've ever seen him give between the two of us combined (no screenie, boo). And while slogging through Act IV, some rando mob gave us this:



That makes TWO Chams this ladder season alone. Got my first one during solo Pit runs, so Remedy took this one. Crazy. Except for these, neither of us has found anything higher than Vex. But we can make a Zod if we wanted? It's been twenty years, and I still maintain that this game is very weird in how nice it wants to be.

Leveling up a Poisonmancer from lvl 88 to lvl 91 as a possible entry in MFO, he picked up a Ghost Flame at lvl 89 and a Sur at the start of lvl 90:


He's been running at p8 with just under 500 MFO and 125 FCR breakpoint. I think he'd be more efficient with fewer MF SCs, but it's fairly easy running so far with only one death from triple Archer boss packs.

 

[bill_n_opus]

Do you believe in the afterlife? God? Allah? Whatever deity/faith you believe?

Check this out:

- not trying to sound too weird or personal, but travelled today to wife's hometown to relax and visit family. Found out on the way that her Uncle passed away this morning from a cardiovascular incident (heart attack, most likely)
- we get here and it's been sad and awkward all evening but we're in support mode
- settling into our area I whip out the laptop and fire up D2R for some mindless MF Pindle runs trying to level her from 92 to 93 and looking for a Death's Web/Griffon's ... almost got to 93 and this drops:

If you've read this far, yes, it's a Venom Ward. Just kidding.

No, seriously, if you've read this far, do me and yourself a favour and give your love ones a kiss/hug/tell them how much you appreciate them because right now is guaranteed, tomorrow is not. Somehow i'm thinking that Uncle Tim had some hand in this drop ... something that i've never found in 20+ years of grinding this game ... it's a nice thought.

Now, just need to find a Stormlash, Tyrael's Might and and the Cow Kings set (because I rarely cow'd ...) to complete my Grail.

Thanks Uncle Tim!

@Foghorn No I believe Baal can drop a lot more than 2. Here's a screen shot from this afternoon. Counting the gold piles that 6 items.

Yes, I know that Baal can drop up to six items - I just didn't know it could be as few as two items (with one of those two being an Oil Potion to boot!).

 

[Vang]

Decided I wanted to do this next druid weilding a 440% ED rare Thresher the right way. I'm going to make a Fortitude, but lack the runes, but had a good stretch this morning about near the two hour mark:

 

[BBS_Agonistes]

I haven't been posting screenshots here since I had a thread chronicling my project to farm Enigma from LK, but I thought I'd post my haul pic now that I'm done.

5,000 Lower Kurast runs over the span of 2 weeks finished!

EDIT: Just realized there are a lot more Pul runes on the ground there that weren't displaying (14 total).

Decided to make a run of most of the 1.14 Area 85 spots this morning. Lots of uniques, but this one in the Pits brings my self grail to 39.

I can always trust the Countess to brighten my day.

Got a little lucky over the last few days running Pindle/Cows for misc stuff.

Pindle has teased me with a few gold and magical unearthed wands. Got a non-eth Lacerator, some Soul Drainers, Gore's, Manalds ... etc ... but got lucky just now with a Ber from Pindle.

And an Ohm from Cows ...

So, the rune luck I cannot complain about lately. At least the Ber/Ohm is usable ... compared to the Zod. Not sure if zodding anything makes sense given the competition out there and an eBotd sounds good but imma just hold onto it for funsies.

 

[Excalibur]

@bill_n_opus Despite my rune wealth right now I am still so jealous when I see Ber runes...


Found these two nice charms!

 

[krischan]

Yesterday a made a few Travincal runs with my zealot. The councils didn't drop anything spectacular, but a random boss on the way (who I killed mainly to refill the belt with rejuv potions) dropped an IK armor. Set completed!

 

[Excalibur]

Not bad.

 

[Triple Helix]

Only notable drop after lots of Pit runs the last few days. I'd been running my poisonmancer the whole time and had just switched to the lightning sorc for a change -- first run with her!


Edit: this just now! Lightning sorc strikes again lol.

 

[Irenicus]

Just found one of the better FCR rings in my time playing D2. What do you guys think?

 

[Gynli]

Decided to visit Meph with the blizz sorc, before rest of the grind in AT and CS.
Initial goal was basic gear for an easy transition; but decided to stay for all of below...

1. Shako
2. Occy
3. Lidless
4. War Travs
5. Vipermagi
6. Stormshield
7. Arachnid

Or until this.

Drop rate of 1/11 at p3 puts me at ~1100 runs, though it seemed to drop much better for me.
I did end up getting all of the items on the list, except the Arachnid.

[Highlights by Essences]
Essence#29 - Shako - 98def
Essence#31 - War Travs - 33mf
Essence#34 - BK Ring - 4ll
Essence#37 - Storm Shield - 145def

Essence#62 - Storm Shield - 148def (iirc/perfect)
Essence#69 - eth Andy's - 10ll 30str 102ed

Essence#71 - Okay fcr rare ring - 10fcr 10@res 12nrg 39mana 6liferegen
Essence#82 - SOJ (2nd so far on this char )
Essence#87 - Occy

Spoiler: lots of screenies

I feel Uber Trist would be out of the question for a pure blizz sorc;
but the 2 SOJs will go towards 2 Anni's, hopefully netting me a 9/10% extra exp.

Next up; rolling a nice AT map for the MFO.

 

[Excalibur]

Just found one of the better FCR rings in my time playing D2. What do you guys think?

Excellent ring! Rolled maxed strenght which can save those points for a Monarch Spirit.
Extra life and great resistances!

 

[BBS_Agonistes]

Running Nihlathak for keys and got a nice treat!
