Tyrael's Mighty Breakdown - Item Find Thread September 2015

[Grape1]

Instead of making one of the two runewords I've left for the rw Grail I spent that Ber and two Surs from LK to make these:

Today was a strange day.
I've ran LK for a whole week looking for a Sur for Beast RW, and nothing worth mentioning ever dropped until yesterday, when I finally got some reasonable loot: an Ohm, a 15%dr String of Ears and a handful of Puls. At the end of the day the D2 program crashed because I accidentally connected to battle.net and the game tried to patch itself (it's already 1.13d, so... wtf), and it made it impossible to access the game again for some kind of error I don't remember. When I moved the char files into a new D2 folder, all the loot of the day was gone. Poof! Not that I had some actual use for the runes, but the sash had a quite good roll and was really needed at the moment, so the thing pissed me off for good. Fortunately, today the game asked my pardon and greatly succeeded in just half an hour:

Spoiler

Now I need a Sur again though...

Edit: I also found a 35@ Vipermagi. I've chased this thing for sooo many years... it's nice to know that even 35@ rolls drop sometimes.
Edit 2: a SoJ from Meph... oh boy the game is on fire

 

[nulio]

Amazing uniques there @Grape If you were not self found that jewel on such low res CoA would hurt a lot

Thanks! Yeah, I figured that this jool would gather dust forever if I don't put it into use now. I'm basically not MFing at all for now, and no idea if/when that would change

 

[Zenigma]

Pindle provided me with another grailer today? I'll take it.

Dragonscale
Zakarum Shield
Defense: 552
Chance to Block: 0

Decent craft:

[Grape1]

Third failure with Larzuk and magic items in a row: (last two were +5 ench orbs)

Gaean Hunter's Guise
Hunter's Guise
Defense: 77
Durability: 20 of 20
Required Level: 45
Required Strength: 56
Fingerprint: 0xab7ba55
Item Level: 88
Version: Expansion 1.10+
+3 to Elemental Skills (Druid Only)
+3 to Tornado (Druid Only)
+1 to Shock Wave (Druid Only)
+3 to Solar Creeper (Druid Only)
1 Sockets (0 used)

That was supposed to get two Ists in it. Now it will have to go with a ptopaz instead

It will be used by my old wind druid which I never really played beyond quick run through till Hell Larzuk quest back then. I equipped him with a + 163fcr setup now and took him to Pits. Seems decent so far, maybe I'll play this until early lvl 90's or something and then test how's fire druid in AT doing.

 

[zticazzy]

Don't hit poppables they said, it slows you down they said...

Enigma is on the way now.

Also reporting 200%ED Gores (first drop, perf drop) and a plain eth BA, a very valuable base for my kinda-obvious future plans.

 

[Gynli]

It's always exciting to find your first set and first unique items. =)

P.S. where do you guys upload the screenshots?

Edit: imgur it is.

 

[Grape1]

Making this before I forget about the base:

Exile
Sacred Targe
VexOhmIstDol
Defense: 1033
Chance to Block: 0
Durability: 23 of 23
Required Level: 57
Required Strength: 76
Fingerprint: 0x4ace114c
Item Level: 79
Version: Expansion 1.10+
15% Chance to cast level 5 Life Tap on striking
Level 13 Defiance Aura When Equipped
+2 to Offensive Aura Skills (Paladin Only)
+30% Faster Block Rate

Replenish Life +7
+5% to Maximum Cold Resist
+5% to Maximum Fire Resist
All Resistances +44
25% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
Repairs 1 Durability in 4 Seconds
Ethereal

Almost anti-perfect lol (variables are 13-16 lvl aura and 220-260 ed). I have another base with similar (or a bit more) def and 38@, not trying my luck again, at least for now.

I've a weird idea about a build which would use this, but it's somewhere behind many many more ideas that I'm maybe trying first. So, we'll see if this ever sees any use...

 

[Brak]

couldn't you just Hel it out as its pretty unlikely to get any worse?

which reminds me i should reroll my Death

 

[Grape1]

d'oh, yeah of course.

Not that I will be using two Exiles simultaneously anyway, might as well roll the better one then.

 

[zticazzy]

I found a funny rare ring with only two attributes: +10%fcr and +14%mf. It made me giggle.
Also got Vex Vex Ist Sur Ber from council in the last two days, too lazy to post screens.

 

[Grape1]

Powered Circlet of the Magus
Circlet

Fourth 1 socketed magic from Larzuk in a row now. Meh. Well, this will see only a short use for now (lvls 45-75 or something for one character in the making..)

 

[Grape1]

Excuse me, I'm double posting, but this deserves a post on its own:

And the readout with the runes:

Echoing Fanged Helm of Sorcery
Fanged Helm
Defense: 20
Durability: 35 of 35
Required Level: 51
Required Strength: 35
Fingerprint: 0xde2c8ac5

+3 to Find Item (Barbarian Only)
+12 to Energy
50% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
2 Sockets (2 used)

Socketed: Ist Rune

Fifth time is the charm it seems! The helm was found ten minutes ago from LK.

Now my MF Pit Singer achieves 767 MF with 56% hork. That's a real update, improving him further will be really hard. Apart from leveling, but I'll take a look on that if there's going to be a winter MFO

 

[zticazzy]

Council dropped me a 5/5 cold die facet, and the color is blue. No use for a barb, but I think I'll keep it forever in my stash as a trophy.

 

[zticazzy]

First Cham drop ever, guys! And finally I've seen each rune dropping at least once. I've hunted this stupid stone forever, in my career I've seen many HR drops, probably 6-7 Bers, almost 10 Jahs, and so on, but never a Cham. This event also puts an end to my project of farming Zod through council in ten days of not-so-intensive farming (approx. 3-4 hours per day). Ty 1.13!
Other HRs collected: 4x Vex, 2x Sur, 2x Ber, 1x Jah.
I know a Cham is nothing special for most of you, but what a sensation it was to see one not popping out from the cube as usual!

 

[Gripphon1]

Insane luck there! Congratz.

I thought about hosting RFO, but didn't. There might be time after new year.

 

[zticazzy]

So it was cold sweat time again: I had to roll ebotd (in a non-sup eth BA). Pretty scared by the previous experience, I quickly threw the stones in and hoped for the best. The result:

Spoiler

Roll: 396/12
Final on-weapon damage: 178-525

 

[XyleneCyanol1]

Many thanks to Baal and Larzuk.
