This is kind of neat. Don't usually post white unless they are really rare, but never found a 15/15 sacred before.

Well, my paladin just found the most gfg jewel there ever was. I swear this isn't a dupe. Dropped in chaos sanctuary just now.

Re: What Was Your Best Drop Today?

Nice mysticc, your just rolling in the luck lately.

Thanks :) Now my mission tonight is to find someone rich enough to buy it from me ;) I fully intend to milk this for all its worth. It's not every day you find something like this, that's for sure. My target is several hundred hrs on west ladder. We'll see how it goes though, since jewel market fluctuates. Still, there's no rush.

EDIT: Well, it turns out that there is actually a dupe of this jewel with the same mods as mine, and sells for about 10-15 hrs. Since mine has a different colour and name, it's clear that mine is the legit one, but the ****ing dupers clearly counter-fitted my jewel. Because of the duping, I am basically denied 100's of hrs worth of wealth I would have had. Just like Ben Bernanke and the federal reserve, but x100 the problem.

I know some of you said bots were worse than dupers, but I don't see how you can think this. This is a clear example of where dupers have screwed my opportunity to profit hugely from this drop.

Sigh. I am not happy. I am not selling this jewel for 15 stupid hrs. What a ****ing joke.

Doesn't really change my opinion, because again it really only effects the ultra high end.

Could always use it yourself.

I guess if you never find stuff like this, it wouldn't ever affect you in a negative way. This could have bumped up my overall ladder wealth by 35% though in a single swoop. But because of dupers, I am denied this increase in overall wealth. It is stolen from me. That's theft. It is an injustice.

I suppose. I'll have to figure what to do with it. Shouldn't be too hard with mods like that.

Even if you were a complete noob who just lucked into finding something like that without putting in a large amount of farming time, getting 15 HRs from it would still totally change your life. Obviously 100 HRs is better than 15, but a low end person finding something that suddenly gets them 15 HRs will dramatically change the game for them anyway, getting them one very well geared (at least with uniques and runewords, if not rares and crafts) character, and shifting them into "end game."

But yes, my greater point is most people on the low end won't ever find something that is good enough to be duped.


 
Re: What Was Your Best Drop Today?

I think if this jewel wasn't duped magicrectangle, there is a chance that 100 (duped/inflated) hrs would be a low ball. It is 100% perfect.

When I say 100s of hrs, I am referring to the kind of purchasing power that you can buy with 100 hrs on ladder right now, and not necessary the actual hrs themselves. I recognize those are likely partially duped as well.

Basically what I mean is... I should have been able to get a godly item of my picking.

You'd think jewels would be the one item in the game with the most robustness in terms of purchasing power, just because of the extreme varying mods and ranges, unlike runes which are all the same. For a consumption-based item that varies so much, it would have been absolutely possible for these jewels to maintain such immense value over years of time. But dupes frankly flip it on its head.

But for me, I just can't get too excited over 15 hrs of value. I just can't. Who cares :/ Whoopie.
 
Re: What Was Your Best Drop Today?

I found this one that is pretty close to yours, Mysticc, but I threw it in with my jj's. It's not perfect, so I wouldn't think anyone would want it.
 
Re: What Was Your Best Drop Today?

mysticc, you seem to know a lot about rare jewels. What are some of the basics for knowing what to keep?

That was worth keeping. It's not nearly as much as my jewel. 4 good mods is worth much more than 3 good mods. There are very few 3 mod jewels that still hold close to the same value as 4 mods. Basically it's the same as rares. The more high mods you have, the rarer and more valuable it is. If those mods are coordinated, it's worth even more.

I can probably write a good one, but I don't really have the time. To be honest, it's pretty similar to rings or any other kind of rare - you are looking for coordinated mods that center around a core mod, such as attack rating, enhanced damage, min/max damage, defense or mana. Most rares with just 2 good mods are not worth much. They honestly need 3 or 4 good, coordinated mods to be of value.

Just got a nice one out of WSK, 20% ED, 60 AR, 4 Dex, 6 Str

I don't normally play melee classes (outside of my previous Dragonslayer), but I might have to roll up a Frenzy Druid or something to put this to use.


 
Re: What Was Your Best Drop Today?

Got a 14 res all 15 ias jewel, nothing to shout about I guess compared to the one mysticc got, but I think it is the best jewel I've gotten this ladder.
