Normal Countess dropped Tal & Eth right out of the gate. My sorceress Gertie couldn't have been more pleased (after the fire blood from the death explosion was cleaned off, of course). It's a shame I was only level 10.
 
Hsaru's belt and boots in the same drop off of normal Andarial.
 
It took a couple tries to get the game to run on this OS 8.1 but got it going. Countess dropped Tal/Tir, Andy dropped shiot!
 
I got 2 rares from Corpsefire in normal. That's sort of ominous, like the game's setting me, right from the start. Whee.
 
Bloodrise from somewhere or other - is sacrifice a viable skill? And a pair of DOLs. Two DOLs are not better than one, or zero; and definitely not three.
 
Back to back nights of NM Ancient Tunnels yielded unique and set death masks. Now my SOCIALISM ORBITALLER (R) and her mercenary can MF in style.
 
The other night an Oculus dropped and I just kept staring at it thinking, "this thing is awesome, why don't we ever talk about this in HC". (You can tell I don't play a lot of sorcs.) I was ready to socket it and give it my name and then I finally read the first sneaky line:

25% CHANCE TO TELEPORT WHEN HIT - WTF! I already accidentally teleport into packs all the time. I don't need help with that. noob.
 
I just wanted to say that I've never seen anyone die to the Oculus, and I've watched at least one person rock one well into the 90s. That said, I understand being a little averse to items that add even more excitement to sorceress play. :D

I'm well on my way towards cornering the market for Hsaru's shields.
 
Once I get my level and resistances up to 85, I'll pull it out of storage. As it is now, I'm far too frail and capable of my flesh.

To keep things on topic, I found a Buriza! Thank you, again, Ancient Tunnels. Also, 5 sets of Sigons gloves; we should open a specialty store, myk.
 
Crafted some nice caster demonhide boots a couple of weeks ago:

Dire Brogues

30% FRW
+19 mana
+5% max mana
+5% faster mana regen
40% Lightning Res
35% Fire Res
23% MF

Can't recall the level requirement. Also can't recall a better pair that I've crafted.
 
I ran the countess in Nightmare a few times, so now I have all the runes in the entire game.
 
I found an Aldur's Rhythm, which I know makes a solid bear weapon. Hint. Nudge. Shove. :)
 
Crafted some exceptional Blood Boots:

Random Name
Battle Boots
20 FRW
3 LL
17 life
+8 life regen
34 LR
30 CR
22 FR

2 wicked boot crafts out of 5 tries, TAKE THAT D2 RNG!
