This fricking drop... FML

First time beating

Baal on Hell mode. Which is the farthest I've ever gotten playing the game! Really excited to see what he'd drop as I know quest kills drop rate increases. Here's what it was... this and 14k gold. How depressing

I kill

Baal every other day and his drops are generally not the best, although I got 2

Festering Essence of Destruction at one point.

Meph drops better than this! LOL I was just disappointed because it was a first time quest kill. Was hoping for MUCH better. Oh well. All praise be to the RNG gods...

Oh yes, blue/yellow trash most of the time. "

Caduceus/elite plates/coronas/diadems? No, haven't ever heard. Here, some ethereal katars, balanced knives for you, along with

Arrows and

Bolts - enjoy the drop".

Nothing beats the 5TP

Duriel FU drop that happens sometimes.

I got a god roll on a crap

Circlet the other day. 1 def aura 20 fcr 30frw 22 all res.

It is all slot machine architecture! Just keep killing the demons and you will gain strength.

RNGesus can be brutal. It's a numbers game. You have to farm him hundreds, if not thousands of times before you can "guarantee" a decent drop. Even then, it's still not guaranteed, just an increased probability.

This thread is how you know

Baal is truly the end boss. If he dropped sick loot, you'd beat the game. But instead, he laughs in your face, lures you into a room with a bunch of tentacles and maybe 2k gold around the room, and then drops trash. It's the final insult. It's how you know you'll never truly beat the game. It will always beat you.

I feel your pain. The other night I was doing

Baal runs with nothing to show for it. His last drop consisted of three piles of gold, an

Antidote Potion and a blue

Breast Plate (ethereal, of course). Upon seeing that I couldn't help, but blurt out 'Thank you,

Baal! Next time why don't you just piss in my face?' Then I had to explain to my husband that I did not pick up some disgusting

Fetish.

OMG!!! Thank you for this! You made me feel so much better! I needed the laugh!

Hilarious! Seriously though

Baal is a loser. He drops nada 99% of the time.

I posted it in another thread but to make you feel better I just made myself "go broke" crafting an ethereal Breath of the Dying Beserker

Axe and it rolled 351%ED which is 1 better than the absolute minimum. This game can be a beatdown sometimes!

Yeah, RNG can be mean some times @hav0c_2.

Just out of curiosity, are you sure you got gold from the

Baal drop? gold and scrolls should not be included in the quest drop table - in fact, a drop with no gold or scrolls is usually seen as "confirmation" that it is a quest kill and not an ordinary kill. Think this could be a bugged drop?

rough, anyway. hope you get some better future drops - now that you know you can do it (:

5 TP? Sweat. Once he dropped 6 TP. Couldnt believe it. Since then, only killing him for story progress.

Haha been there done that
