Frenzy, Ginther's Rift, and other life altering questions.

Hey Guys.

Ok, I really love the look of ethereal Crystal/Dimentional/Phase blades. Really! A Lot. I want 2 swords that look like this on my frenzy barb. I of course imbune every ethereal crystal/dimentional that I find, but thus far, no luck with godly mods. So I figure the most viable & achievable way to accomplish this goal would be to upgrade 2 ethereal Ginther's to Phase Blades. (not really for the damage, but just for the -30 base speed) Socketed correctly, along with other good gear I have no doubt that I can make these weapons viable end game gear. That's not the problem.

So first of all I don't play ladder, however, if I want to accomplish this I'll have to start .. not a problem, a bit of a pain, but not a problem. So My question is:

Where or Who would be the best place/monster to run in order to find an ethereal Ginther's?

I'd prefer not to run in hell difficulty, simply because the less time I spend to build the runner; the better. As well I'd have to find 2 lums & 2 puls, which I'm not as worried about since I'm bound to find a couple of tradeables while looking for the swords.

So, what do you guys think? If you have any ideas on how I should go about this lemme know. Basically I want Ethereal phase blades that are decent end game weapons ... assumeing I have my pick of anything for the rest of my gear.

sounds like a lot of fun, at what lvl do you typically imbue?

Well, I always plan out my characters for level 85. So whenever I hit that I usually mule over 3 ethereal swords and do the 3 quests. I have gotton some decent swords, for using through nightmare at least. But definitly nothing godly yet. I have also got some really nice very low level crystal swords with a repair mod on them, which I tend to use with my lower level guys that I'm working on.

I usually level my characters in nightmare cows from level 25 to 40, and maybe it's just me but I find a TON of plain and superiour ethereal crystal swords there, Which happens to work out well for my imbunes when the time comes.

BTW: Thanks Rik, I was thinking NM meph, even untweaked it shoulden't take too long before I can start running him.

Might perhaps be easier to trade for it... when running NM Meph you should be able to find some decent goodies... Can't imagine a Ginther costing you that much.

the problem with ginther's is its rarity. It's not a death cleaver or a gf, so very few people hold on to them. An eth ginther's would be even more rare just because it's only got a 30% chance that it will be eth when the game chooses to drop that item.
