Beyond Infinity... To the Item Find Thread

[LouB]

@Arparrabiosa I don't think it really matters, I haven't repaired mine that often over multiple characters. Mine is in a plain Archon plate and it has 880 defense People tend to forget the 200% ED on the CoH. For me Nihlathak has been extremely stingy with his keys

 

[Arparrabiosa]

@LouB for me, it's the countess. Half of the time of a torch farming is trying to get a set of keys from her.

 

[snickersnack]

Yes, indeed. I went to the sup. archon plate ignoring the popular wisdom:

Has that worked out so far? Are you using the cube to repair?

 

[Arparrabiosa]

Has that worked out so far? Are you using the cube to repair?

Nah, I just pay. The gold that the key farmer produces outweighs by far the cost of repair the superior CoH.

Nihlathak is the least cooperative for me too. I much prefer farming keys from the Countess and Summoner!

But that's the way it is, right? He has the least chance to drop a key. But farming the countess /p7 for 40 min straight without a single key...

Cold streak @ Trav appears to be over. First, a nice upgrade for the merc. He's now pretty much unkillable even under conviction:


And then the big one, the white whale:


That brings the Trav high rune haul to Cham/Sur/Jah, and with my other Sur from Cows, it's time to make my first EVER Enigma! Sitting on this 3 OS archon, if I want to use that...

[PhineasB]

Congrats @Coyote_Sly!

I recommend using either light plate or mage plate for more flexibility with various builds by saving stat points from strength. Light plate is only a few stat points to equip, while extra strength needed for Spirit Monarch makes Mage Plate equipable without further extra points needed in strength. And the extra defense from Archon isn’t as important because Enigma has flat +defense.

Breast plate is an option to be equipment with base strength, but its not as visually appealing as the Light Plate style.

 

[Coyote_Sly]

Yeah, I actually considered an ancient armor just because it looks absolutely amazing on everything and I'm a sucker for aesthetics. But mage plate is probably the best compromise of light, low stats, and looks pretty good on most characters.

 

[Arparrabiosa]

@snickersnack just checked it: I pay around 21k per point of durability to repair my CoH sup archon plate. I lose 1–2 points of durability per full round of mini-ubers and ubers.

 

[little birdy]

Torch #2 was an improvement: 14/18 Sorceress. That will be a nice addition for my Countess and Summoner farming Lightning Sorc. I am also getting more efficient at farming Nihlathak with the WW Barb. Should be able to produce one more Torch tonight before I switch back to questing other characters.

D2 explained in one item:
Nightmare refuses to drop a Crystal or Broad Sword (no dexterity requirement) with 4os.
I decide to run Nightmare Cows for one as the 4os NM cap means it should be easy to find one.
After about 20 runs I haven't got anything.

Then one drops right next to Wirt's leg:



I open the portal with the same leg, and this drops with about the second pack of cows:

Unless that item is the stone oj jordan, of course.

Still playing the HC untwinked LF/CS Amazon that I started a little before and used for last tournament. Although I had a screenshot mishap for the tournament (good thing I didn't have a standout result ) I've been able to be a bit more organized now so I finally have some screenshots to share! Not sure how to work around needing to use snip for dual monitor screenshots but here's what I've established in stash after ~2500 runs:

Spoiler

Runes: (included drops from tournament for totality's sake but I don't have shots for those)
Gul - 1, 2, 3, 4
Vex - 1, 2
Ohm - 1
Sur - 1, 2

Other:
Eth 4 socket Thresher from rack (17/215/5/5 first try Insight)
Gheeds (110/11/28)
40 Life P Combat GC
P Combat GC
PnB GC
Trap GC

The cows keep delivering some good stuff. highlights of the week :


Again the rune drops are amazing. I have now 3 Cham in stash and I need to decide what to do with them. Cham'ed Shako, Cham'ed Griffon's, Plague in sword for merc, plague in claws with LS or PS, Pride ... so many options and I dont know which 'investment' would be more efficient ^^
Also I'm very pleased with the sacred rondache, which is my first 45@all res elite pala shield. Still trying to get a 35 fcr spirit from it but no luck so far despite many runes spent

Good to know. Thanks!
