DAMMIT to hell, I lost'em muling. Left them on the ground, walked off to  
the bathroom, answered the phone, forgot.
Game was gone. 35% freakin gloves. Other stuff too, but I miss the gloves.

Where do you all think I should go hunting for some more? NM Andy? Baal?  
Are they likely to drop in Hell at all?

Thanks ya'll but this is East SC nonldr. Wasn't asking for freebies  
really, just wondered where'd be a good act/difficulty to go gwove hunting.
Seems like I got those from Normal Andy. I'm still pissed :-(  For a guy  
who plays once or maybe twice a week it was quite a loss. Waaaaa

I know you said you're not asking for freebies but if you change your
mind then drop me a note here. I still have tons of those gloves
collecting dust on East SC Non ladder.

I'm overwhelmed by the munificence on display here. I've already made  
possible dates with others kind enough to replace these gloves. I thank  
you all.

I got 40%, but they were ethereal, and on the previous ladder.

I got a pair of non-ethereal 39% ones. A guy dropped them on the ground,
together with two Shaftstops, claiming they were 'crap' and told met to
'take' them. I guess one man's 'crap' is another man's 'nice stuff!'. ;)

He was apparently trying to get perfect variants of both items (39% vs 40%
MF for the chance Guards, and 195/199% vs 220% for the Shaftstops.)

Regards,

Patrick.

If you tell me when your going to be playing and your acct name, I
will give you a pair of 38s.  I'm on most nights between 8 and 11PM
East.  I'm using my aavatar7 account mostly these days.

Ok, I'll take you up on that. Thank you Jack.

Tomorrow being Friday thank goodness, I will probably log in around 4-4:30  
pm and drink and smoke and play till I pass out.

Whenever I make offers to people from here it's usually pointless, because  
y'all already have the most godly stuff, but maybe (just maybe) I'll have  
something muled away that interests you. I certainly hope so anyway. :-)

I'm *defrag and I'll see you in Hell!

Neat, US East SC non-ladder ^ ^

I have a complete sorc MF gears setup you can have (alibaba, tal's
armor+ammy, chances, etc).  Actually it's a spare set besides the one my
obsolete East SC NL sorc is wearing.  You will be doing me a favor to
collect them off my useless char as these items may disappear any time due
to inactivity.

Either give me your acct name and usual log-on time, or send me an email so
I can send you a temp mule carrying the items.  My email addy is bingain at
yahoo dot com.

That stuff sounds like it might be fun to use! I have none of it. I will  
gratefully accept your offer. As I told Jack above, I'll pop a beer and  
log on tomorrow(Fri) around 4-4:30 pm, and play till I puke.

To answer your question:

Creeping Feature [TC]     Normal    5.55148257
Blood Witch The Wild [TC]     Normal    5.55148257
Andariel(1st Kill) [TC]     Normal    5.50012318
Beetleburst [TC]     Normal    4.93137015
Coldworm The Burrower [TC]     Normal    4.93137015
Dark Elder [TC]     Normal    4.93137015
Fangskin [TC]     Normal    4.93137015
Fire Eye [TC]     Normal    4.93137015

Those monsters havethe highest percentage chande of dropping them.
If i read the data correctly, Chance Guards are Tresure Class 21 and
these monsters have the highest chance of dropping items of that
class.  Weither or not the gloves they drop are unique is another
thing.

I broke open ATMA's Drop Calculator. Though it's for SP I think its
drop chances are pretty accurate.

I don't know what your MF is, so I typed in 100% in a players1
setting. Assuming these stats, it said:

<snip> first two entries for Diablo Clone in Normal and Nightmare
difficulties (I don't know why ATMA gives drop chances for the DC in
these difficulties, or for SP for that matter)
1 in 252 - Mephisto (1st kill)
1 in 275 - Diablo (1st kill)
1 in 291 - Duriel (1st kill)
1 in 296 - Baal (1st kill)
1 in 358 - Mephisto (1st kill - Nightmare)
1 in 374 - Diablo (1st kill - Nightmare)
1 in 381 - Mephisto
1 in 386 - Baal (1st kill - Nightmare)
1 in 416 - Diablo
<snip> bunch of other 1st kill stats
1 in 447 - Baal
1 in 541 - Mephisto (Nightmare)
1 in 564 - Diablo (Nightmare)
1 in 583 - Baal (Nightmare)
1 in 628 - Duriel
1 in 647 - Mephisto (Hell)
1 in 663 - Diablo (Hell)
1 in 668 - Baal (Hell)
1 in 1133 - Andariel (Nightmare)
1 in 1186 - Duriel (Nightmare)
1 in 1399 - Andariel (Hell)
1 in 1411 - Duriel (Hell)
1 in 1748 - The Summoner
etc.

Anyway, those seem to be the drop chances for the bosses according to
ATMA.

If you'd like, you can tell me your actual MF total and I can post
revised drop chances.

Thanks Jill, looks like Baal is the guy to see.

Seems that my loss will be remedied by some kind souls. I thank you for  
your time.

btw, without Chance Guards I have about 330 MF

I took my first trapper out into the blood moor in nightmare in in the first
5 minutes there a 31 resist skin of the vipermaji and a 35mf pair of chance
gaurds dropped from some of the boss packs there, all this from normal
questing. I immediately shucked off the sigon parts that were on and kept
going.

I've read here in the past that monsters are better on ladder, so far it
seems drops are better and monsters are no tougher than off ladder.

Ah, Information. A good, too valuable these days, to give it away, just
