It always comes when you least expect it. -- An Item Find Thread

Link to old IFT.

Well... after 25 600 runs of /p3 LK I was getting kind of tired. It had also been a long 7500 runs since my last high rune.

Last evening, after finishing my 100 /p3 runs for the day, I decided to try /p7 for the first time in 16 months. It was only the charms and jewels that were keeping me going and running at /p7 seemed to get more of those based upon results from various people. I decided to do ~10 runs to test and it did seem to give more loot.

Today, I decided to try 100 /p7 runs at a a slow pace and hit extra objects as they are more rewarding at /p7. I was just looking for charms and jewels, I had practically given up on runes.


It always comes when you least expect it. 40 runs /p7.


This Sur was so unexpected that I am only just starting to get over feeling numb.

That puts me at 2 Ber, 2 Sur, 2 Lo for this project.
I am not finished! :crazyeyes:
Way back at around 11k runs completed when I had 0 high runes for all of my effort I vowed that this project would not be done until I finished my Enigma, and I was ahead of the curve in terms of rune drops/expected value (ie. 11k Runs = 1.5 or 1.75 Bers). After my last high rune I was ahead of the curve, but the 7500 runs since then have put me back behind. :wink:


Now, for the making of:
Previous runes: Sur, Ber, Ber
Setup for cubing. (I forgot about the Ith so I couldn't actually make the Enigma afterwards without going back to ATMA :doh
Finished.

Although I am not finished in LK, I now get to take a break and make a whole bunch of characters that have been waiting for this. :cloud9:

I still have another Lo that I need to decide what to do with and after I finish the project completely I hope to be able to make a Beast with whatever runes I get before the end. :yes:
Hopefully that completion is not too many runs away.

Congrats on the l33t runeword! I'm taking a break from D2 after days of futility. Uncharted Waters is so much fun, in an old-school nostalgic way. :cloud9:

Also, nice Death's Web in the corner. :wink:

Re: It always comes when you least expect it. -- An Item Find Thread

Hmm, so my DWeb got to see an Enigma being made? Awesome. I'm hoping putting it to use on a crazy Poisonmancer with your new Enigma is high on your list. Always wanted to make an enigmapoisonmancer, but I always found myself short a Jah and Ber. Huge congrats on the spoils of your dedication, and I hope your remaining runs pay off more quickly.

Re: It always comes when you least expect it. -- An Item Find Thread

I've done thousands of meph runs, and he's been letting me down lately. My average drops aren't bad, but it's all stuff I already have. I mean, who needs a 4th lightsabre? Anyways, I got bored with him and thought, why don't I do some pindle runs? I don't like pindle runs on my mf sorc, because she's using rare mf/res boots that only have 10 frw, but I decided to do some to take my mind off of meph.

2nd run: my first Mara's, 28 res all!!!

This was my 2nd most sought after item. Still looking for Tals ammy/armor and HoZ =P

Re: It always comes when you least expect it. -- An Item Find Thread

I'm at work and have nothing to show off, so except to say congratulations with the Enigma this is completely off topic.

But... I just gotta say, after 20k LK runs, an Enigma seems like the EXACT thing to expect. If you had found, say, a Zod from an enemy drop, THAT would be unexpected. :crazyeyes:

Still. Worthy of a new IFT. Again, congrats! And to you, too, frozzzen! Zip-zip-zoom!

 

[Albatross]

Re: It always comes when you least expect it. -- An Item Find Thread

@frozzzen

Imagine that you saw the rune drop and got killed while taking the screnie and wasn't able to get to the rune cuz the monsters were guarding it.

Now that would be some irony

Enjoy your soon to be made Enigma.

Re: It always comes when you least expect it. -- An Item Find Thread

@CorMol: That wouldn't be bad for a Holy Fire Ranger, but there are comparable amulets.

I've done about 90 AT runs since getting home from work. I have been lamenting the fact that I see tons of certain items drop from uniques of which I don't have [all] the S/U's for them (necro heads, Phase Blades, Colossus Gaunts, elite throwing weapons) and there are some item types I don't see nearly enough (Berserker Axes, bows, and Sacred Armors come to mind).

At about run #80, this shows up. Grail -46.

I literally said out loud, "That is HUGE."

Back in the 1.09/1.10 days, my only MF character was a GA/Multi Bowazon. The top three items I wanted back in those days were Tyrael's, Stormlash, and... teh Windy. I am so psyched to have found this after YEARS of playing. I think a new MF build will soon be in the works. :grin:
