@ffs I did not know that DW can drop from lvl 85 monsters

nice find

 

[Skezla]

Not your typical IFT post but I've been working ever so slowly on my all-rare Avenger.

I gambled this- which is the best I've found in several hundred hours-

And since I had a SoJ I found while getting to 70 on Normal Nihlathak...

It isn't the best of the best and this is probably near-comical to some, but I had no use for the SoJ and don't use extended stashes/mule... so, it's literally all it's good for unless I tried Uber Diablo in hell or something.

edit: Apparently I double-linked the first image but I fixed it so you can see the end result lol

That is the worst loot Diablo has dropped me at P8.
He must have been hanging with Duriel too much lately.

Random Vex from the Outer Steppes.

 

[Excalibur]

Nothing extraordinary, just fancy colors!

Man, seeing D2R screenshots right next to legacy is a downer for those of us still in 1.14!

 

[d2lover]

@Excalibur that reminds me of Dungeon Siege against "act" bosses, they drop alot of stuff too, usually alot of yellow haha

And I am using the lowest settings.
Even I get surprised when I see others with D2R on full graphics at how much better it looks.

Two more interesting finds!

 

[Pancakes]

Mephisto was kind to me last night. Slowly but surely rebuilding the stash.



I kill the Fallen pack by the fire every run. It finally paid off.

Sparkly chest luck continues:

6 nado/6 hurricane confirmed to drop soon:

Nice charm and a grailer with sick roll from Travi:


Next up the result of gambling session.

With 2os there's potential for a nice bowzon helm... with nice jewels in it of course.

Also after 2os GF Blizz sorc confirmed:

Nothing too crazy just like seeing enhanced damage on a circlet with other decent stats:

2 skills, 7ll and 2os let down by other stats. Could've been a potential fire magezon (going for one after 2.4 hits) helmet with facets.

Got 2 sockets on a pelt I found:

Gaean Spirit Mask of Restoration
Spirit Mask
Defense: 25
Durability: 20 of 20
Required Level: 45
Required Strength: 30
Fingerprint: 0x9c0bb5da
Item Level: 85
Version: Expansion 1.10+
+3 to Elemental Skills (Druid Only)
+2 to Armageddon (Druid Only)
+3 to Tornado (Druid Only)
Repairs 1 Durability in 20 Seconds
2 Sockets (0 used)

Now, what to socket it with? Don't really need resists. MF? Or 2 x sol? Too poor for 2 x ber.

 

[snickersnack]

While doing some more summoner runs for hkeys:


My uber smiter is shaping up rather nicely. Meph won't know what hit him.

I'm at 12 hkeys, so I'll be switching back to dkeys soon. I may have 5 keys sets later today. Will I start running organs today? Hmmmm.

 

[Excalibur]

Juicy!

 

[d2lover]

@nepeta I socketed mine with PTs, but didn't use it since

Btw PT is better than Um, if that means you get the resis from inventory, not that resistances are particularly helpful in the Pit

also resis charms can also come with MF, so Um is really not that good

Nice Congrats.

Yeah PTs probably best. No need for Res really with Cyclone Armor. Maybe if you find a nice Jewel with Life/Mana/MF or Str etc.

Have a stable GPA rack in 1.07, in the hut adjacent to WP.

Question: Ethereal drop is 1:20, is superior the same? Meaning Superior Ethereal is 1:400? I've done a few hundred runs, and only seen one so far, so that seems about right. No extra enhanced damage though. What are the odds of Superior = enhanced dura, +1, 2, 3 Max Dmg, enhanced damage etc? If enhanced dmg only spawns on 1/2 of Superiors, and then I want +10-15% (instead of +5-10%), I am looking at 1/4 Ethereal/Superiors having over +10% to max damage? That'd be around 1:1600? Of course, it would almost certainly come with 1 or 2os, requiring another couple thousand runs..

Couple of finds along the way:

@D2DC This is from @art_vandelay 's [1.07-1.08] Racking Guide :

2) A superior ethereal Great Poleaxe with four or no sockets (Larzuk!) has to pass the following chances to drop from a rack in LK:

• Pass the Superior test, which is 1 in 12 in both 1.07 and 1.08.
• Pass the ethereal test, which is 1 in 20.
• Roll four sockets or none at all which is a 3 in 4 chance. This is a 2 in 3 chance to get no sockets plus a (1 in 3) times (1 in 4) chance to get four sockets.

We arrive at a chance of 1 in 320 in both 1.07 and 1.08 LK.

@m4ke, 1:12 good to know. Any idea on how often a superior item will roll enhanced dmg though? As opposed to durability, AR etc?

1/20 ethereal, and 1/12 superior gives me 1/240. I need 0os (for BotD), so 1/360 for an ethereal & superior, 0os. I'm guessing restricting myself to over +10% enhanced dmg will double to quadruple those numbers..

Edit: I found this calculation by @Luhkoh from the old site.

For gmb, it will be something like: [regular gmb drop chance] * [~10% superior (can look this up exactly on german drop calc)] * [1/3 + 2/3 * 1/2 enhanced dmg] * [1/11 15%ed] * [1/4 socketed] * [1/5 4os]

So, the odds of an enhanced dmg roll are: 1/3 + 2/6 = 2/3?

So you pursue the Hell Bovine theme?

Perhaps once I find a Colossus Blade rack I'll repeat the entire process!
