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

I am Bone necro, so will suffer against übers anyway. But at least I'll die less with more res than my current Bonehsade.

Kind of newly completed WW Barb and he horked a Ber today.

Didn't have any luck the last days, but my last run was nice.
Got a Lo rune ( the first hr in like 5-6 weeks, bnet ) from an elite in rof, followed by these 2 in cs:




Also crafted 2+ bow / 20ias / 3%ll / kb gloves which is nice .. if i'd have a bowazon on ladder.

few minutes ago in travnical

1 CS - maras 22 & light die 55

Yesterday, I was running thru Tal Rasha's Tomb and was being chased by a pack of Extra Fast Beetles, and got caught up in a cluster of pots and kicked one to get away and it dropped a 20 life / 17 mana small charm.

Almost makes me want to take the time to smash them all the time.

Okay, so I've been trying to craft Blood Gloves for my javazon for maybe a month. It was an on-and-off effort only when I had the materials, so it was really maybe a total of 20-25 pairs I crafted. None of them were any good though, nor was I depending on the crafting because I eventually traded for 2/20 gloves that have 38% in total resists which I've been happy with and continue to use.

From time to time though, I still crafted a few to see if anything good came up. Not only were there no Javelin 2/20s, there were no 2/20s period, not that the other +2 skill rolls are anywhere near as valuable.

I decided to change the recipe after reading a thread that made me rethink what I was doing. Javazons would benefit from mana bonuses more than the bonuses from the Blood Gloves recipe. It was worth giving Caster Gloves a try instead.

First ever Caster glove craft yesterday:
Not quite there, but still one of my better crafts considering out of the two dozen or so Blood Gloves, none of them were even +2 Javelin.

And the second one today:
I think my reaction was a mix between "oh come on" and "guess I'm done now" because I didn't expect to get this so soon after trying a new recipe and I don't really have a reason to keep trying anymore. I don't even value magic find on my gear and the mana bonus is the bare minimum, but I'll gladly take the mana steal and best possible mana per kill roll. I can still max out all my resists by swapping out a single small charm.

In my testing so far, the mana per kill has made a significant difference in mana availability even in the presence of the finger mages in Chaos Sanctuary. I wasn't using any mana per kill before because I couldn't be bothered with trying to obtain Silkweave, even though I found a pair earlier in ladder that I gave to a friend before I switched my build from tanky javazon to a more meta build. I guess I was missing out.

Check "crafted a nice item" off the D2R bucket list.

Not a 3/20/20, but... This jewel ain't bad either:

Wow, that jewel is just excellent to be put in Andy's visage !

Yeah, that is most likely where it'll end up! I'm even sitting on a Ral'd Andy's, but it's a low roll so it kind of feels like a waste to slam this jewel into it. But then again, I'm on SP so who knows when/if I'll get a better one. Decisions, decisions...

3rd countess run this mornung

a SoJ in the second run from Travincal!

First time ever see 3 Keys of Destruction from a run, also got 2 Key of Hate same run

I got another Gul from Hellforge!

I also got a Mage Plate with 15 ED. Now the only thing between me and getting my first Enigma is finding a Ber (besides a ladder reset).

I can share how I got really unlucky, but that probably needs a thread of its own.

soj from travnical few minutes ago

damn good roll... and in a GMB

one more Jah from travnical, few minutes ago

That pic with 3 Key of Destruction is incredible! Didn't know she could drop that many. Wonder if 4 is possible.. xD

Anyways, here's my luck (very first Trav run of the day, after coming up dry in CS and WSK last couple hours):
This is amazingly my 5th Sur this month off Trav:

Sur hork - 7/10/22
Sur hork - 7/16/22
Sur hork - 7/22/22
Sur drop - 7/24/22
Sur hork - 7/31/22


Guessing I've done around 500 Trav runs total this month (doing a lot of Key runs as well, no HRs off Countess yet).
