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

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".
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.
Due to a family emergency I won't be able to trade in the near future. If you were in the process of trading with me, I am really sorry for the inconvenience.

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!
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 (:
