Very nice shield Vajar, you are having one lucky weekend.

At the same time that I'm shopping at Anya I do pindleruns on players8 and I got one nice gear:

Ya, I did the same thing for a while, at each pindle run I'd check in at Anya for nice jewelers armor of the whale or trap/shadow claws - I found +3 trap claws w/+3 lightning sentry that way (over the course of leveling several chars from lvl 85-90). So the chances of getting something good aren't great, but its there, just the same.

Anyhow, after the unearthed wand earlier this week, and the armor and the rolls on my exile shield - I bet I'm heading for another long dry spell. Before I found that wand I had gone for a long time without finding much of anything (though I did make some nice trades over that period). It's funny how spurious luck is.
 
Now, im sure thats a spurious use of the word spurious!

I can never get anything useful off the merchants. However, its nice to know they're always there just in case.
 
I seem to be finding an unusual number of bartuc's claws these lately...

I found 3 over the course of 2-3 days

otherwise, no interesting new finds..
*sigh*
 
i havent had much time for playing d2 lately because of nfsu2 - its a great game!!! :drink:

Oh darn it Vajar, that IS one sick armour you got there. A pity i can't help you on this; the highest i have is a 28%FR/15%IAS jewel. I'd love to see that armour completed!

Sounds like some cartoon with those kind of missions to find the missing something. :lol:

Congrats....

I hope I will be as lucky as some of you soon... :surprise: I have quit meph again, because the feeling that he can't drop enough for me anymore has come up again. I am trying the pit again, although I didn't have luck on my first attempts a few weeks ago. Pindle is booooring (+ no luck either) and the pit is the easiest tc85 area. I will have to check out the WSK, because Baalruns give the best exp, too, but they are in no way as easy as the pits. I hope to find a way to run them without that much trouble...

Here is something worth mentioning from a meph season yesterday night:

Well, I've decided to start a grail, and so I started running Meph and Pindle for a while to get some of the higher level stuff. These were found by first Meph, then Pindle, and both nearly made me fall out of my chair. I think the game's trying to tell me something.

Dang, nice find off Pindle Nightfire05. That's why i'm enduring Pindle. For that Windforce baby.

As easy as he is I literally fall asleep running him during the night. Even though i'm softcore my current MF'ing char is level 91 and XP is hard to come by. You lose too much XP when you get killed and I don't feel like be set back further until level 92.

Anyways, forgot I found this small poison charm last night somewhere. What's the max anyways? 290 over 10 secs or something like that?

Toxic Small Charm of Pestilence
Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus
Required Level: 55
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 83
Fingerprint: 0xa82d9018
+250 poison damage over 10 seconds

Guess i'll have to start a venomancer/hybrid or rabies druid/hybrid. Still waiting for that Death's Web though. Another reason to run Pindle. Over and over and over ....
 
@bill: The poison damage charms don't stack with spells like poison nova, so unless you're going to physically wack something with a death's web, it won't have an effect on your damage output.
 
not played much this weekend, and the only noticable find was ammy of the rising sun and the cathans stave (which i dont think i have, or cant find anywhere at least). Oh, and a unique halberd, which i didnt even bother to check the stats on before adding it to my stash of useless items.

Ahhh, thanks. Forgot about that.

Okay, the Rabies Druid should work though. Whacking monsters with a wand with low AR will be fun!

Just wondering, an inventory with a bunch of poison charms like these ... do they really make an appreciable difference in your damage output? Like with a Strafer for example in Hell difficulty? In effectiveness?
 
Poison damage isn't really that great - it was best used in 1.09 cows since they didn't have poison resistance. The reason why they're so popular, however, are because of PvP. Its a hit once and forget about it-type damage, something that's very popular, like the now powerful open wounds.

And to stay on topic... I didn't really find this, but a very generous person (friend I'll call him now), over at other forums (quite a few of you participate in the community over there too) donated this precious beauty to complete my melee paladins:

To be socketed with resist jewels and shared along with my newly made Exile shield on my zealadin, avenger, frostalot, and tesladin. Woot woot! Can't wait to rip Baal a new one with this sucker! I think I've said this one earlier.. but Christmas definately came early this year.
