Fabian Gambles One Billion Gold, Tells Everyone About It
I've begun my project of gambling 1B gold away on Amulets, Circlets and Coronets (as well as a few misclicked Rings), and I thought people might be interested in seeing the results. I know there are already two other 1B gambling projects going on, so go ahead and call me a copycat, but what else am I going to do with the gold my goldbarb amasses?
Edit: Batch #2, 101M-200M, has been gambled.
Edit: Batch #3, 201M-300M, has been gambled.

I'll update this thread every 100M gold gambled. The results of the first batch are somewhat interesting, with two notable sets/uniques. Here's what I kept:
[highlight]Circlets[/highlight]
Yup, that's a gambled Set Diadem. The chances of that with my level 94 gambler is 1 in 26281 Coronets gambled, pretty unlikely to say the least. Gambling a Griffon's Eye is "only" twice as rare, 1 in 52562.
[highlight]Rings[/highlight]
A decent misclick.
[highlight]Amulets[/highlight]
The Ghoul Necklace is what makes this batch a great success to me, and it spawned in the very first few minutes of this gambling session, which I thought was awesome. It has two of the three mods I'm desperately searching for on a potential goldbarb amulet; mana leech, teleport charges and goldfind. It has no GF%, but instead it has a bonus Barbarian Skill, which is highly useful. Very much looking forward to experiment with that amulet.
Other than that, there are some decent stuff, some near misses and a couple extra GF amulets, "just in case". I like that 25/100 Chromatic Amulet of the Whale, looks pretty stylish. Oh, and the Highlord's.
I have around 160M saved up in the bank, so I'll probably do the next 100M session quite soon. Thanks for reading!
