Re: Time to Show off that Olympic Hardware - The Post-MFO IFT
I managed to motivate long enough to push another set of HF rushes through (2x Ist, 1xMal, 2xFal, 1xKo, 1xLum - first batch in ~6 weeks, and considering how much I 'enjoyed' it, it might be the last batch for another ~year
), and I was curious after killing Baal in Normal if I could open the cow portal before going through the portal at the end of Act5 (you can!) as well as how cows stack up on experience for HF rushers in 1.12 LoD (cows suck for exp. now).
So I killed the cow king and he dropped the armour. Woot, a grailer.
That somehow lit a fire under my butt to get the boots to collect the last set item I'd need for a self-found grail, so I spent a couple of hours doing 75 Cow-King runs using MP/multi-instances.
I did some research first and managed to get the odds for the boots down to 1:65 according to ATMA with ~500 MF. And on (exactly) the 65th run the boots finally dropped. I'd stockpiled Wirts in 25-packs, so finished the last 10 runs and got a 2nd pair of boots on #69. As well as 3 more CK armours throughout the process too.
But what really surprised me was the quantity of TC3's I picked up from the cow king and Rakanishu:
2x Arctic Furs
6x Death's Guard
3x Death's Hand
1x Greyform
1x Hotspur
3x Hsarus' Iron Fist
1x Pelta Lunata
3x Vidala's Ambush
and
2x Gorefoot (not TC3's, but these dropped from the cow king before the CK boots, which of course made me :banghead

I could provide readouts for the other ~25 TC3's, but I'm too lazy and they're not especially interesting.
And sticking on the TC3's, while doing the rush through NM, Duriel dropped a somewhat rare one. I wish Hrus had been the one to find this:
