It was a stock screenshot. I certainly didnt have one of my actual equipment. I thought the person who replied was not aware of what the Dream runeword provided, so I posted it as an example.oOKIWIOo wrote: 1 day agoThe screenshot you posted is definitely not your shield. I checked it with google picture search and you can find it e.g. here:

EDIT: Your buy history says that you bought a Dream Shild ( Sacred Targe) and a Dream Helm ( Bone Visage) four days ago each for 3 Jah. Why did you post this Screenshot?

Can be used to make Runewords:
Yes, the post is venting frustration, as I didn't even realize that this scenario and losing a near priceless item could even take place. I do have a WW barb that is, at best, only moderately effective at the moment. And only a "backup". I was building the Dream Paladin to be my primary, and most powerful character to explore the upper levels of the game, as I find that content, and the drops, far more interesting.Knappogue wrote: 1 day agoDon't you also have that WW barb with the new Grief?Slapshot wrote: 2 days ago...maybe it's just time to walk away. And just as I was really getting to the point where I could play at a very high level and really enjoy the game.
Hopefully you are posting this to vent frustration and not fishing for freebies...
Much as I get the venting, just chalk it up as a lesson learned.
Or two lessons if we're being completely honest as looking at those trades, you seem to have overpaid quite massively on those dreams. Getting a new shield of the same roll/quality level you had shouldn't cost you another 3 Jah but either a little over 1 Jah to roll it yourself or less than a Jah for a comparable roll result.
Until then, annoying as it may be, you can still run him as a zealer and get by just fine with one. Especially if you lend him your barb's Grief.
But yeah, NEVER equip even a single piece of gear when you're trying to do a corpse run. And that includes grabbing anything off the Ground as it'll typically auto-equip. Either get to your corpse naked or simply quit and rejoin to get your gear back that way.

And IF you recover your corpse in the same game, always check twice with the map that your corpse really disappeared after clicking your body. As Schnorki said, it can always happen that you accidently equip an item without noticeing.
For my Sorc I have a complete second gear set in my stash for such situations. When I have cleared the area around my corpse, I go back to town and check twice if I put everything back in my stash (especially second gear slot), then go back, then click the corpse and then check with the map again

Chin up! You can pass over this, I'm sure.Slapshot wrote: 2 days agoI am literally so disheartened that I'm not sure I can pick up the pieces and keep playing.
I felt the same when I lost my Duress armor, the very first runeword ever made with a "hi rune". For a few hours I felt like I couldn't play anymore. But I gathered up and kept playing and right now, I have all I need (except a warlock torch which is yet to come). And I play offline, self found, without possibility of trading for runes.
With a little more grinding you'll find other items to trade for that Jah and base.

This can still be risky, if your internet or the servers go down mid-recovery. Safer option is to have a separate account help with the recovery.oOKIWIOo wrote: 1 day agoFor my Sorc I have a complete second gear set in my stash for such situations.

Yes, good point and actually I have done it this way, too (but I suppose most people can only login with one account at one time). But sometimes I take this (small) risk to squeeze out at least one more runShadowHeart wrote: 1 day agoThis can still be risky, if your internet or the servers go down mid-recovery (and I suppose most people habe only one account).

Coooley has a video showing how this effect can be used to Steel items (time 5:03):
This is nothing new.
I find it very interesting that you, for some reason, think I paid 3 Jah for that shield. First, how would you have any idea? Secondly, what I paid was a fraction of that. I've never even possessed three Jah since I've played the game!Schnorki wrote: 1 day agoMuch as I get the venting, just chalk it up as a lesson learned.

This makes your claims even more confusing... Did the seller complete the trade using false information and if yes why did you not report it?
