post your best legit finds

Interesting...I wonder if it could be tested to see at what point it is determined. Or maybe if it might even be exploitable. Do you happen to know the probability that it will be cl over the other spells perchance?

I have no idea. It's not something I've looked into, it's just theory based on how RNGs work. It probably is exploitable (see also: people on the SPF for D2 getting the same item repeatedly from weapon/armor racks) but without knowing what does and does not influence the RNG, and how it's purely academic.

That, and having a CL of too high a level is actually a bad thing.

I saw a king's bastard sword of haste on Griswald... while I was playing a sorcerer on single player. Much sadness was had.

Real Dutch, indeed.

Well, finally, after a LONG time playing this game, found a legitimate Obsidian ring of the zodiac!!!!



Normal diff hell run, laz lair, one of the 2 succubi (couldn't tell which one as I'd firewalled the lair just for something different lol).

Has totally made my day!

PS I've been finding a LOT of awesome rings of late, not sure why.

[Clervis]

Awesome. Great resists!

[dpastern]

Thanks! Much happy am I!

Interestingly, I did hell run (normal diff) the following night and had several of the same items drop - including several uniques. Sadly, Laz and the 2 succubi didn't drop anything good :/ weird? I've *never* seen that before in all of my time playing.

I found an Obsidian amulet of the heavens (+14 to all stats) a week ago. I'm only running saintly armour of the wolf at the moment, having no luck finding an awesome plate (full plate). I have seen awesome full plate of the lion several times over the years, but not with current character. Have seen a kings bastard axe of haste in the past 2 weeks too (wirt sale). Very early on this character bought a godly helm of the whale from wirt (only AC8, but the defensive % bonus and hit point bonuses are NICE). I've seen kings sword of haste (bastard sword) several times, as well as slaughter, gore and speed variants.

I can do hell runs on nightmare, but they take time. I've tried hell/hell but sadly, hell runs aren't really viable - my AC is too low and my health, whilst at 500+, drops *very* quickly due to my AC not being high enough to avoid hits from monsters. Resistances, even in hell/hell mode are max.

Much happy am I too you for!

Sounds like close to an end game amulet, too. What the resists on it? 36 resists and you're maxed and you could free up your other ring for a dragon's ring of whathaveyou. If you're looking for awesome FPM I suggest you do some Grizzy shopping runs. You could also pick up a high AC awesome shield of the tiger and a KSoH if you don't already have one. As far as helmets go, magic ones pale in comparison to the uniques. So either grab a Royal Circlet from one of your Lazarus runs or get a Helm of Sprits from NM Butcher runs. By the by, what level are you?

[twipley]

What the hell. Here, awesome full plate mails abound, but there is no sight of interesting amulets, nor rings. There, interesting jewels abound, but the AC is left to be desired.

Edit: Congratulations, though. A nice screenshot! Nice resists.

[dpastern]

FPM? What does that mean?

cLVL 36, warrior character. All stats maxed, AC 219, to hit 182%, max dam 124-148, life 567, mana 135, all resistances maxxed (even on hell diff).

I'm using:

awesome helm of the whale - AC8, +142% armour +99 hit points
saintly plate of the wolf - AC75 +114% armour +35 hit points
king's sword (bastard sword) - +77% hit +173% damage
obsidian shield of the tiger - AC18 res all +37% +43 hit points
obsidian amulet of the heavens - res all +37% +15 to all attributes
obsidian ring of the zodiac - res all +39% +16 to all attributes
ring of the zodiac - +19 to all attributes

I'm carrying:

awesome shield of the wolf - AC15 +149% armour +38 hit points
obsidian ring of the stars - res all +35% +10 to all attributes
jade amulet of the heavens - res all +30% +14 to all attributes
lapis amulet of the zodiac - res lighting 40% +20 to all attributes

I'm waiting to find another obsidian ring of the heavens and will the ordinary ring of zodiac with it. I'll then equip the awesome shield of the wolf.

I *really* need to find much better plate armour. I've seen awesome plate of the wolf/tiger/lion several times since '97, just not with my current character. *sigh*.

I don't find it really worthwhile doing hell/hell runs - the quality of item drops is not significantly better than hell/normal or hell/nightmare runs to make it worthwhile imho. It's only good if you want to level up of course. My original diablo character (saved somewhere) was a lvl 46 warrior, but did use the usual item hacks. He was a tank. I've had several legit warrior characters over the years, probably should find the saves and load them up and see what they got and mule stuff across (is that still considered legit lol?).

I'm kinda old school - beef up AC and hit points. My spells are all as high as they can go, unless I can get rings of wizardry +30 (I have 1 already, and a ring of wizardry +29 and an amulet of wizardry +29). If I can get those, I can read to 212, do some book shopping runs and then max my books as high as I possibly can with a warrior character and ditch my magic stuff (carrying +20 plate, +12 shield, +20 helm, +20 bastard sword for max magic ability in case of said ring finding).

I don't play that often, maybe once or twice a week for a normal/hell run. I occasionally do ten minutes of griswald shopping runs, but they are boring. Wirt is more interesting, but just in a p.i.t.a position in the game...

edit: I've seen kings sword of haste several times, kings sword of speed and also gore and slaughter as well. I've seen godly plate of the whale (was only AC18 though) too.
