You got really lucky? Then share it with us here =)

Never had a

Jah or a

Ber drop, but in the last 5 Uber runs...
Sorc 17/17
Sorc 18/19
Druid 14/14
Sorc 19/18
Pally 20/20

RNG was kind recently on that front at least =).

I got a

Ber from solo bnet cows last night. I had just killed a group of cows and I was looking at loot. Then out of no where, one single cow walks towards me and I could just tell there was something special about this heifer. I hit her with a couple guided

Arrows and boom, she dropped me a

Ber.

I crafted my first ever Insight polearm and Spirit sword for my Hammerdin and got lvl 17

Meditation Aura and 33% fcr. Not as exciting as a

Ber drop, but I am quite happy with both.

Probably the single luckiest game ever. First found an Andy

Helm by pindle, then

Gul, then

Jah from shenk, then a

Baal drop rare ethereal

Demonhead with triple durability... That last part really stings
(Uniques can't drop again in the same game)

I got

Ber drop from diablo on 1 single player. XD

I was shocked and couldn't believe my eyes that i got a

Jah after 15 runs in trav. crazy lucky!

found a

Sur and

Lo back to back this morning. then found a jav gc with +31 life and an

Eth titan's. guess i used up all my luck for the week

Currently I'm progressing my Necro besides casual farm with my Sorc. He's 73 now and was going on his way to Andy on TH. Normally, I skip the Pit and come back later for progress while farming but this time I wanted to clear every area on my way so I decided to go in and some random Devilkin dropped a

Ber! This is my first for my entire game history which started back in 2003. Kind of shocked but grabbed immediately without a ss due to lack of connection trust between me and the servers. The weird part is,

Ber dropped by my Necro while he's 73 and right before it he got a

Gul on

Black Marsh. And a Pala skiller which is useless anyway. But the point is: I opened a complain topic very recently because my 92 Sorc with huge MF on her basically was finding nothing useful and especially regarding HRs, only continuous

Ort runes untill two days ago when she got a

Sur! And a Necro gets

Gul on 71,

Ber on 73 without farming, just progressing. WTF is this RNG?

LUCKY ROLL!!!

Luckiest drop ever in my d2 life.
I was doing p1 cow with my tesladin and got

Ber

Jah drop at the same time in one elite pack

This is fantastic luck!

Hey there, i haven't posted anything on forums yet but i've started playing d2r in late november.

I got all my stuff by grinding real hard and trading most of it, but lately i've been staring at a

Zod, a

Cham, a

Ber, a

Lo and an

Ohm rune wondering what to do with it, since i've made or own pretty much every "big" runeword.

I got a few really nice drops in the last months that i'd like to share.
What's special to me is that many of these happened on the same day and i swear sometimes it kind of feels like they have a lever in the server room at blizzard that determines how good the drops are that day. Some days i got lucky and it just felt like i had to keep pushing since the odds were good that day.

so when i was still mf'ing and trying to gear up, i was running

Ancient Tunnels in mf split games with a blizz sorc and i got 2 really nice unique drops in one day.
first:

Eth reapers toll (235%ed and 15ll) - that's 5% ed off perfect.
about two hours later i dropped an coa with 2os, 15%dr and 23 allres. the allres was low but still a really nice drop, even more so because the def roll was pretty high (around 140 i think).

a while later i was running diablo and

Baal, when i found an

Sur rune (throne) and a short while later an

Ohm at Chaos.

The third time i had a "good day" i was running cows with my javazon and i first dropped a

Jah rune. literally 2 runs later i was getting the leg in

Tristram and a shaman dropped me a grand charm. +1 blizzard skills and +31 life.
about an hour later, a happy little cow presented me with a

Lo rune to finish off the best day of d2 i ever had.

and last week i found an 15ias/40ed jwl which i traded for 3

Ber. This kind of blows the rest of what i just said out of proportion, but it didn't feel as satisfying as the other ones =)

I played classic d2 and propably did like a billion andy and meph runs (not even joking).
the highest rune i ever dropped was a

Vex rune in a random run i was testing an awkwardly geared hammerdin.

with d2r however, it feels like i got rrreally lucky with rune drops.
The only runes i haven't found yet are

Zod and

Ber.
However:

Ist 1 (can't believe it's only one)

Gul 6+

Vex 5

Ohm 6+

Lo 2

Sur 2

Jah 2

Cham 3

i got 2 of the

Cham runes really early when i was still hoping for anything but a

Cham and i was really sad (lol). back then, ppl would offer and

Ist or

Gul rune for a

Cham =(

i read a lot of the posts in this thread and it does seem like some people get luckier than others...but also it's about speed and putting the grind in, and sadly enough, not really expecting anything in return...dry spells are common and you kinda forget about those when you read all these posts here.

Cheers guys

I learned something new today! Makes a little more sense why they're called uniques.

Thank you, it was interesting to read your detailed story. I also have thoughts that some players have more luck in the game than others. But, "sometimes there is a holiday on my street too"))) But, turning on the thought process, I understand that my game is more for relaxation and pleasure - conditionally, if in two hours in the evening I make 2 runs to

The Countess, 2-3 times to the cowshed, and 1 more time to my favorite locations - usually this is the maximum. I also look at what has

Fallen for a very long time - I still don't know much about the value of objects. In the same 2 hours, the "lucky ones" will make, for example, 100 runs in travinkal. Naturally, even with less luck, their "catch" will be much higher. But, here everyone has their own - everyone has their own style of play, their own goals. I just love this game for the joy that it gives me with its rare gifts.

I learned something new today! Makes a little more sense why they're called uniques.

The other possibility of failed uniques/sets is when the game rolls an item/quality combination which does not physically exist. I always check the rare drops from boss drops to wonder the possibilities...
An example would be "Unique quality"

Colossus Sword. You'll just get a rare version with triple the durability. Double durability means failed set item.

Yesterday, I found my second

Ber in CS - 1st one was dropped from a cow month ago.

Finding a HR is so cool. When you see it on the screen, it tingles in the whole body *lol

First and perfect.
PS got a

Sur from this mini boss some days ago

How much mf you running?
