Game Forum / Role Playing Games / Diablo 2 / July 2008Yay! Duress for my Merc!
So I'm stomping around in NM act 4, and this superior sharktooth drops. Just increased durability, but... Took it to Larzuk and asked him to punch some holes. Got three. Got the Shael Um Thul on mule... Just a matter of doing the shuffle. Yay! :)  SignatureDon Bruder - dakidd@sonic.net - If your "From:" address isn't on my whitelist, or the subject of the message doesn't contain the exact text "PopperAndShadow" somewhere, any message sent to this address will go in the garbage without my ever knowing it arrived.

A Superior Sharktooth armor (is it ethereal?) certainly does NOT fall in that category. The only plus-side is that you, if it is non-ethereal, can also use it as an Armor for a melee build (Uber-Smiter for instance), although also for that a Superior Sharktooth armor (an Exceptional, not an Elite item) is not a good choice. Anyway, as long as you're happy, I shouldn't complain. ;) Regards, Patrick. > >So I'm stomping around in NM act 4, and this superior sharktooth drops. > >Just increased durability, but...

Sorry... <http://www.sonic.net/~dakidd> for more info ><sigh> Piss in my cheerios, why doncha? How would you feel when you told someone a week ago to not buy a certain piece of equipment because you know it's of bad quality. Today, you find out that same person has bought exactly that piece of equipment, totally ignoring your well-meant advice. If that's 'pissing in your cheerios', so be it. Regards, Patrick. >><sigh> Piss in my cheerios, why doncha? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > If that's 'pissing in your cheerios', so be it. Now, now people... dont argue... just give those "cheerios" to someone that could use a Duress (pissed on or not)... ...aka ME!!! mwahahahaaa!!! Oh wait... ummm... I'll do the laughing part after I get it :¬P > So I'm stomping around in NM act 4, and this superior sharktooth drops. > Just increased durability, but... [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Yay! :) Congratz on the making of your Duress for your merc. Personally if it was for merc only it would've been better in an "Ethereal" armor and probably a higher quality kind of armor. Sometimes it's even better to find the high stuff that's ethereal with no sockets and take the risk of using the Cube recipe to punch the holes in them. If it works the bug works. If the bug wasn't removed. Your def multiplies craploads. Can't remember the figures but i'm sure someone will tell you. Anyways congratz again. Atleast you have a duress a character can use aswell as a starting point. :) SignatureJake Mysterio - The Mysterious One of Nothingness. > "Don Bruder" <dak...@sonic.net> wrote in message Anyways congratz again.

Pretty much my thought, too, especially since experience shows me that if I were to wait until I found "The ultimate super-bestest premium top-of-the-line armor" to put it in, I'd have a beard down to my ankles by the time I was able to build it... (Which goes along with the fact that the Um that went into this duress is, aside from the Pul I got a couple years ago, the highest rune I have *EVER* personally laid eyes on "in game" in the entire time I've been playing the game - I must not hold my mouth right, or something, 'cause seeing the "godlike" gear everybody raves about is an event that just doesn't happen for me) SignatureDon Bruder - dakidd@sonic.net - If your "From:" address isn't on my whitelist, or the subject of the message doesn't contain the exact text "PopperAndShadow" somewhere, any message sent to this address will go in the garbage without my ever knowing it arrived.

So I'm the same - the list of gear you see as 'recommended' in most builds is beyond my reach, unless I get lucky. Hell, I still haven't seen a SoJ, yet they're handed in in the hundreds (thousands ?) in order to make Mega-Diablo spawn... > >(Which goes along with the fact that the Um that went into this duress > >is, aside from the Pul I got a couple years ago, the highest rune I have [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Hell, I still haven't seen a SoJ, yet they're handed in in the > hundreds (thousands ?) in order to make Mega-Diablo spawn... Yep, exactly. SOJ? Yeah, I've read about 'em existing, but as far as my personal experience is concerned, they're right up there with Santa and the Easter Bunny - Mythical critters that might be neat, but don't really exist. Skin of the Vipermagi? Yeah, sure - you say it exists, and I've seen it mentioned in various places, but have I ever, in all the years I've been playing, laid eyes on one? Nope... And until I do, I'll continue to consider it "imaginary". And continue to make do with what I can/do actually get my hands on...

Sorry... <http://www.sonic.net/~dakidd> for more info I've had Vipermagi drop twice from NM Andarial in less than 30 runs with no more than 100% MF gear. >SOJ? Yeah, I've read about 'em existing, but as far as my personal >experience is concerned, they're right up there with Santa and the >Easter Bunny - Mythical critters that might be neat, but don't really >exist. I've found two in the time I've been playing Diablo II. The first one was from a random pack of Shaman/critters on my way to Hell Countess, in the Black Marsh. This was 2 Ladders ago. My second I found in the previous Ladder, from one of the Council members in Act 3 Travincal. Beyond that, I got 2 more, also 2 Ladders ago, when someone gave their accounts to me. He apparantly found the two of them. So, they're there. Run NM Andariel repeatedly if you want to increase your chances. >Skin of the Vipermagi? Yeah, sure - you say it exists, and I've seen it >mentioned in various places, but have I ever, in all the years I've been >playing, laid eyes on one? Nope... And until I do, I'll continue to >consider it "imaginary". It's quite real. Of course, especially if you're looking for 'something', the game will not drop that 'something'. But I've found (and discarded, for pgems) plenty of unique Serpentskin armors. As another posted mentioned, NM Andariel can drop it; I personally found one in Act 2 NM at the earliest, so I'm not sure where the 'line' is with regard to regular monsters being able to drop it... But running NM monsters/bosses (walk in the park for most builds, even with self-found gear) should get you one sooner rather than later. Alternatively, enter some 'items-for-pgems' games, or check some trade-forums and you can probably acquire a lowish one for a handful of pgems. >And continue to make do with what I can/do actually get my hands on... See above, all depending on how you play. If you only want to play with self-found, and don't want to trade, you need a bit more luck. But even then, Skin of the Vipermagi is common enough. A Stone of Jordan is, of course, in a whole different league. Good luck MFing! Regards, Patrick. >>SOJ?

He apparantly found the two of them. I've found 3 myself. One from Hell Mephy, one from something in Andy's room(but not Andy herself) in NM, and the third from a random monster in Hell Arcane Sanctuary. > It's quite real.

Yeah, I've had tons of em drop for me as well. > Regards, Patrick. |
