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

[HanShotFirst]

Since I decided to drop my weekly format of posting in the IFT, for my would-be-UT99er, now that she's (all but) fully geared, I suppose you could be seeing more or less of me. And this week, it appears you'll be seeing more .

*Hmm, sure hope I don't wear out my welcome around here. Oh well, here we go.*

I had a very productive weekend with my Lightning Sorceress.

First, I used my second socket quest reward on the Griffon's I found at Pindle a few days ago:



And inserted a -4/+5 Lightning Facet, also from Pindle, to produce:

Griffon's Eye

Nice . Obviously I would have preferred a -5/+5 Facet, but this character hasn't found one yet . (Man that feels good. Finding a Griffon's before finding a -5/+5 Lightning Facet. The Force is with me!) Anyhow, when I do find a -5/+5 Facet, I'll probably Hel this one out ... unless I stick it in ... whatever I use my third and final socket quest reward on . I have two worthy setups: Hoto, three piece Tal's, SoJ. And, Crescent Moon, Vipermagi, Arach's, Rare FCR Ring, Rare Amulet. Both let me get to the 117 FCR Breakpoint with the Griffon's and a Spirit shield. Whether the final socket reward goes to the Tal's armor or the Vipermagi, I haven't yet decided ...

But I've gone and distracted myself. I'm here to post some finds!

So my next mission is to get a Torch. I was thinking of going Bear Sorceress. Max Energy Shield, Telekinesis, Warmth, Enchant, and Fire Mastery. Get as much damage reduction as possible and fill the inventory with resist charms, AR charms, and life/mana charms. I have two spare Sur Runes from when I was farming LK for Infinity. So I went back to LK to get another 'Ber' worth of runes, so I could create Beast and CoH.

It took me a couple hours, but I finally found a map I liked (good layout and a rack that drops something interesting ... in this case Sacred Rondaches).

I quickly scored a Sur Rune:



And nearly matching eth/non eth, 44@ superior shields:

Superior Sacred Rondache

And some pretty handy resist charms:

Wow. This is going great! I even found my second Lightning skiller:

Sparking Grand Charm
Grand Charm
Required Level: 42
Fingerprint: 0x81e7b02
Item Level: 80
Version: Resurrected
+1 to Lightning Skills (Sorceress Only)

But I was having that nagging feeling ... like something just wasn't right. I decided it was my so called 'plan' to take on the Ubers. I know that Bear Sorcs do take on the Ubers ... but they do it with dual Dreams. I don't know that I could crushing blow my way through them ... or even hit them ... well, at least hit them fast enough and hard enough to stay alive and counter their regen ... and then, if I could crushing blow them to a sliver, how do I finish them off? ... Grief on top of Beast? ... there go my spare Ohm Runes. Hmm. Suppose I go ahead and run LK enough for dual Dreams then ... *You want to stay and find eight Sur Runes on top of the runes needed for Beast and CoH?! Are you totally crazy?!*

Time for a break. This isn't going anywhere good.

And then I had a moment of clarity: *You're not some wannabe skill-less Druid! You're a Lightning Sorceress! A Lightning Sorceress! You've got a Griffon's Eye for goodness sake! Let's forget swatting at them like a Druid and fight them as the Lightning Sorceress that I am!*

So, new plan. Lightning Uber Diablo and Baal to death. Respec with Token of Absolution, Meteor or Blizzard (I haven't decided yet) Uber Mephisto to death. There. Settled. Now that's a plan. Now I just need a whole ton of essences ... why don't I ever save those ... oh well ... at least I'm on the right path now ...

But before I rolled away my awesome LK map I wanted to get a 45@ Sacred Rondache.

Well, if you insist. I'll take it. But don't think this is going to sucker me into chasing dual Dreams .



Oh, and to finish the story. Shortly after the Ber, I did get my 45@ Sacred Rondache:

Sacred Rondache
Defense: 141
Chance to Block: 0
Durability: 60 of 68
Required Level: 52
Required Strength: 109
Fingerprint: 0xb594aa6c
Item Level: 79
Version: Resurrected
All Resistances +45
4 Sockets (0 used)

Though, to be honest, I think I'm more drawn to the 44@ Superior Sacred Rondache ... something about it having a twin eth brother ...

Anyhow, I'm now happily zapping bosses for essences. I must say, I wasn't struggling before, but the Griffon's sure does make things nice .

Back at D2L farming, like @maxicek looking for upgrades for PvP chars.

Been running Travincal with GF Sorc these last couple of weeks, gambling exclusively circlets and claws. As for Council drops I'm looking for charms, runes (in particular more Bers and more CtA rolls) as well as crafting materials. Also picking up some rares (rings, jewels, circlets, pelts, claws).

No idea how many runs I did so far, but certainly enough for me to complain that I still haven't found anything that could be considered a meaningful upgrade.

Below some potentially useful drops nonetheless.

2/20 circlets
Surprisingly got a bunch, but none that are really amazing. Some minor upgrades for a couple of classes at least.

Spoiler

Other circlets:

Spoiler

Claw:
Yes, singular, and not even for LS (or even WoF) but Phoenix Strike. Soooo many trolls here, seeing +LS very often, but whenever a claw had that and +Sin/Traps, it always gave a grand total of 2-3 to LS. Fantastic. Definitely complaining on this front!

Spoiler

Jewelry:

Charms

[maxicek]

Shop the claws @ffs not gamble.

 

[ffs]

I have a claw shopping Sin and run her occasionally. But claws are neither the only thing I want and nor absolute top priority despite my complaining. Overall Trav is the most balanced target for my needs and things I am looking for atm. Gambled claws can also be rare and upgrade to exc/elite frequently. Shopping is just too boring for longer sessions, and the time spent doing it is literally all wasted unless you do find a good pair.

Out of curiosity, did you ever shop 5/6 LS claws and how long did it take? Pretty sure I’m somewhere around 10-15h overall without anything showing up, and I do have my shopper set up properly so that I only check exc/elite claws.

 

[maxicek]

I have a Cunning +5 pair. Really for PvP you want +2 Assassin +3LS. I have never managed to shop them and I don't like to think how long I have tried for.

 

[ffs]

I have several +2 Sin +2 LS rares but with high stat requirements and otherwise nothing worthwhile either.

Think currently my best option is this combo:

Greater Talons +2 Traps, +2 LS, two sockets
Scissors Quhab +1 Sin, +3 LS, one socket

Otherwise nothing useful. Not good enough to spend good jewels on them, but I could stuff random jewels to fill some gaps of my current setup and WSM bug for 9 FPA... why not, we'll see.

While testing my upgraded Blizzard Sorcy got these two items!

Good thing they added the shift-compare feature!

Decent AT boots. Would be excellent with higher cres and mf rolls.


Bowzon on a roll.


Gambled this. Shame about the 1 skill.

 

[Noodle]

Is there a default location where D2:R screenshots are typically saved? I just had an Ohm drop in cows, pretty sure I screenshotted it successfully but can't find the shot.
