Ladder 2, & Three Weeks On The Road To A Mist Bow

When Ladder 1 finished, a few of us were disappointed that the Mist runeword was not going to be made available on SC NL. So 3 weeks ago I decided to make a Ladder build and see if I could get all the ingredients to make a Mist bow. I got lucky early in the game when an Soj dropped. I traded it for 2 Vex and 3 Ists, and then traded an Ist for a 7% Windforce, and a couple more for a Torch and anni. Then a Lo dropped which I used in a 4os Dusk Shroud to make a Fortitude. While doing TZ runs a 4os Eth Giant Thresher dropped, and I traded that for a 5 socket Superior 15 ED Grand Matron Bow. Then while doing an Arcane TZ run, a Jah rune dropped. So now all I have to do is trade the Jah for a Cham, Gul, and few Ists and all that's left is how good will my roll be.

Great story and lucky with the drops! GL on the rolls now.

The journey has come to an end, and this is the result.

Good roll too, congrats

Damn nice roll too, level 11 Concentration. Grats and thanks for the story

Thanks for the comments. Earlier today after I had traded for a Cham and some other runes, I still needed a Gul. I had 5 Ists, but no Sapphire. I have 15 P Sapphires, 2 flawed, and 2 chipped, but no Sapphire. Then another member The Flash jumped into the game and tossed a Gul in front of my stash. I picked it up and not looking for freebies I tossed 2 Ist down. He tossed a Vex down, and then he asked if he could try out my Windforce. I said yes and handed it over to him. While he was looking at his stats I socketed the runes and made the Mist. Somewhere in all of that there was some good luck.
