One, Two, Buckle my Shoe - Item Find Thread - Mar 2021

[nepeta]

Nice run d2lover, nice haul

 

[J-Dog]

A few nice charms from the past few weeks. Corruption whorl looks quite nice for a Magezon for example. Eth Dragonscale is cool I guess.



JAH dropped a day or two after the tournament. Today I was doing a few Nihlatak runs with fire druid and I have a map with sparkly chests on both Halls on the way to him. Thought I'd pop those after killing Pindle also and it paid off.

 

[Swamigoon]

While working on my new Dragon Claw "aggressin" assassin, Burrowing Coldworm gave her a nice quest drop: my first ever poison unique jewel!

 

[nulio]

My original objective was to steal half of @nulio stashes!

But, the rares that drop are generally terrible.. I've gotten plenty of 1.07 Titan's off that rack, and plenty of cool looking blues. Also tried manipulating that rack to get something better. But, the best I've come up with is a Decapitator or a Lacquered Plate (and those take a lot more effort). The Cer Jav drop is literally 1 TP and click rack. That drop also tends to produce the best results on my Balrog Skin rack. I've had this map since about 2016..

I'm sorry for being the reason you racked so many javelins I hope you got some other sexy stuff on those LK runs

[Excalibur]

A quite interesting amulet I gambled!

 

[ziambe]

A fun one

 

[d2lover]

@J-Dog where the hell were you at the Sur drop?

 

[d2lover]

dang it, would be nice to have all spirit runes on one pic (not staged, that is)

 

[HanShotFirst]

Up next: I think it's time to visit Pindleskin. I'm enjoying my higher + skills setup with Skullder's and Arach's, but would like to try out three piece Tal's ... and I think Pindle is just the right undead zombie to hook me up with the armor! Also, the only Griffon's I ever found, came from Pindle. I'm not expecting a repeat, but I can't deny that it'd be really great if it were to come to pass. Still, odds aren't good ... I'll probably run Pindle until I find Tal's armor and then move on. Also, I've got an Annihilus to claim (and now, probably more than enough gear with which to do it). And, I've also got about a hundred caster amulets to craft from my LK proceeds. I guess on both fronts, I've just been waiting until I feel lucky .

And then I checked the Dropcalc.
Hmm, with 300 mf, at players 8, that gives us a 1:6398 chance for Tal's armor, and a 1:25272 chance for the Griffon's. Hmm ...

Finds from Week 7 of my would-be-UT99er:

Well, I figured I'd better start with the caster amulets and Annihilus or I probably wouldn't have anything to post about ...

Up first, one hundred caster amulets were crafted (Ral Runes were the limiting factor). Sorceresses have that weird 117 breakpoint for Lightning and Chain Lightning, so, lots of different rolls could have been of use. After rolling all one hundred I got:

One 2/20 amulet, but for an Amazon ...

Grim Wing
Amulet
Required Level: 89
Fingerprint: 0x909c3f62
Item Level: 91
Version: Resurrected
+2 to Amazon Skill Levels
+20% Faster Cast Rate
+20 to Energy
+17 to Mana
Regenerate Mana 10%
51% Extra Gold from Monsters

And really, other than being a 2/20, there isn't anything very interesting about it.

The only +2 to Sorceress Skill Levels amulet that I got was:

Blood Collar
Amulet
Required Level: 89
Fingerprint: 0x395b9809
Item Level: 91
Version: Resurrected
+2 to Sorceress Skill Levels
+5% Faster Cast Rate
+11 to Mana
Regenerate Mana 7%
All Resistances +3
Fire Resist +31%
Magic Damage Reduced by 2

Well that's not very interesting. And it doesn't help me get from 105 to 117 FCR ... Okay. It just wasn't my lucky night for crafting. Let's move on.

Next up, Pandemonium Diablo.

I'd never attempted Pandemonium Diablo with a Sorceress before, and had no idea what to expect. In preparation, I took my 20% DR, 8% LL, Vampire Gaze to Larzuk:

Vampire Gaze
Grim Helm
Defense: 252
Durability: 22 of 40
Required Level: 41
Required Strength: 58
Fingerprint: 0x491ae718
Item Level: 87
Version: Resurrected
Adds 6 - 22 Cold Damage Over 4 Secs (100 Frames)
6% Mana stolen per hit
8% Life stolen per hit
+100% Enhanced Defense
15% Slower Stamina Drain
Damage Reduced by 20%
Damage Reduced by 7
Magic Damage Reduced by 13
1 Sockets (1 used)
Socketed: Sol Rune

Okay. That should help the merc. I then topped off my resistances with charms, and from there, loaded up the rest of my inventory with life charms. I then brought every manner of utility item that I could think of into my stash (crushing blow items, a life tap wand, a lower resistance wand, slows target items ... the works). At last I sold my spare (third) SoJ to Gheed and headed out of the Rogue Encampment to meet this most dangerous foe. I entered the Den of Evil (weak monsters, no LIs), and raced to the rear. Sure enough, there he was, as large as life:



I engaged him in battle, and quickly realized ... my biggest problem was going to be getting off a screenshot before he died .



Phew. Got one. But don't I look silly now ... all that prep for nothing. Apparently pretty well geared Lightning Sorceresses totally destroy Pandemonium Diablo. I would have expected something that shoots lightning hoses to have put up much more of a fight. Oh well ...

And the charm:

Spoiler

Annihilus
Small Charm
Required Level: 70
Fingerprint: 0xd5a2615d
Item Level: 99
Version: Resurrected
+1 to All Skills
All Stats +18
All Resistances +10
+7% to Experience Gained

A bit below average overall. I think I would have preferred the resistance roll to have been the high number, but the RNG didn't bother to consult me. In any event, it certainly beats no Annihilus at all .

So, with all the old business done, it was time for Pindle. I managed to find enough play time to get from clvl 91 to clvl 94. Let's break the finds down by level.

CLVL 91 Finds:

Spoiler

Nothing.

CLVL 92 Finds:

Spoiler

Nothing. And I mean nothing. Not a single set/unique that couldn't have been found at Mephisto.

CLVL 93 Finds:

Spoiler

Okay, now we're getting somewhere. The TC 84 with the second highest qlvl. I'll take that!

Ooh. And it even got the +2 roll. Nice.

And then:

Well, will you look at that . Literally the third interesting thing (i.e. can't be dropped by Mephisto), and it's the one I wanted! I didn't see that coming. I was expecting to hit clvl 94 at Pindle having found neither of the items that I wanted, and then as the rate of xp gain fell off a cliff, I'd eventually give up and move on to Baal. But no! Here's Tal Rasha's armor at clvl 93.5! It's a dream come true! Wait. Maybe it was a dream. When I really want to find something, I've been burned by dreams before ...

Spoiler: Tal Rasha's Armor Readout

Nope! This time I didn't find it while sleeping. This time I found it for real!

Interestingly, this did not come from Pindle. Pindle was dead having dropped nothing of interest. The merc was fighting a lone survivor off to the side. I blasted him for no real reason except he was there. And that's what I got! According to the Dropcalc, that's a 1:277584 shot .

As mentioned before, I decided I'd keep running Pindle through the second half of clvl 93. Near the end I was getting bored and thought I might use the Ancients quest to finish the clvl off. With around 50 million xp left to go before clvl 94 I dropped out of the game to double check how much xp the Ancients give in Hell. Oh ... 40 million xp. Well, in that case, I might just as well finish the clvl off at Pindle. The rate of xp at players 8 is still decent. I was pushing for hard for clvl 94 when:

Spoiler

ZOMG! Tal Rasha's armor was a surprise that seemed unreal. This was just too big to process ...

Right. *Please don't be eth. Please don't be eth.*

Spoiler

Haha! Not eth!

Readout:

Spoiler: Griffon's Eye

Griffon's Eye
Diadem
Defense: 172
Durability: 10 of 20
Required Level: 76
Fingerprint: 0xe4888a26
Item Level: 86
Version: Resurrected
+1 to All Skills
+25% Faster Cast Rate
-18% to Enemy Lightning Resistance
+13% to Lightning Skill Damage
+122 Defense

It's even a little above average .

Wow. Just wow! An untwinked Lightning Sorceress gearing up to make an attempt at clvl 99 finding Griffon's Eye! Does it get any better!?
Woohoo! I'm going to be riding this high for a long time to come!

Oh. P.S. I wasn't at all expecting to find a Griffon's and would probably have socketed a Harlequin Crest ... but, I just hadn't found one yet with auspicious enough defense. My first had 109 def. The second had 105 def. If I'd found a 141 def, or 140 def, or heck, something symbolic, like 99 def, I probably would have socketed it. Thank goodness I didn't, and still have two socket rewards left to use!

Up next: Considering that I've found everything that I could reasonably hope to find (and more), I think it's high time to stop posting 'week of' finds in the IFT, and start posting leveling updates in the UT99er thread! But first, before I can get too serious about leveling, I do have one last piece of D2R gear I feel I need to find. Yep. That's right. I think this character is getting special enough that I've got no choice but to get her a Torch. And unlike Pandemonium Diablo, I suspect this might take some doing ...

Already found a few of these, but still, it's rather nice of the PRNG to stock another one on a rack for me.

Got a Vex last night from a corpse in LK. RL has limited my time the last couple of weeks, so that was a nice find.

@maxicek this Entropy Heart is not bad at all!
