What are the odds... - The-Insane-Juju-Man - 05-07-2004
What are the odds of this happening.
-I found my first Naj's Lightplate gaming with a NM legit friend Larnark[NM]. I let him kill Laz out pops 43ac Naj plate.
-Doing a laz run, from a unique witch in dungean level lower then 15, I found a 45ac Naj plate and gave it to my friend Belios's Arty mage.
-Earlier today someone in Laz's room I forgot who dropped me a 47ac Naj pLate.
-A few runs after that, forgot who in Laz's room, drops me a 50ac Naj Plate.
In short I found 4 Naj plates total and the ac's came in assending order.

I once found 4 Windforces in a single game.

It seems like to me, when I play on Battle.net I find better items than when I play offline. I have no idea if this is just a thought and nothing more.

Pah, the challenge is to find 9 plates, with dur from 42-50, all in ascending (or descending) order. Come back later :P
Oh, and congrats on your collection of Nice Light Plates. You'll make a few sorcs very happy :)

The odds? Since it has actually happened to you, the odds of it for you is 1! :)

I found 5 Baranar's Stars from dlvls 1-6. I stopped playing at that point because I was afraid of how many more I'd find.

My personal favourite were three consecutive rings of engagement.
*Thud! Wack!*
*Cling!* "Great! Oh... not really."
*Smack! Clank!*
*Cling!* "Woot! What the..."
(Takes stairs down)
*Chop! Slice!*
*Cling* "You have to be kidding me..."

That is really annoying because I'm Larnark[NM]. I only play online with my naked mage, but I always find stuff my other characters want. I found a TC and held it for my normal sorcerer. It took me two weeks to finally get it transferred, never again!
And why is it my barbarian almost always find evil juju stuff in hell, but my other characters find plain Gothic shields and numerous plain Gothic plates?

Say no more! The game engine operates on the following ironic principles: "If you won't use it, you'll find it." and "You'll find it if you're not looking for it." As a Naked Mage, you're not looking for any items in particular, nor would you use any even if you found them. Thus, the game engine must drop you utterly fantastic items to mock you for not using them.
Similarly, my NM is 38. He's managed to acquire the following: 1 KSoV (Bastard), 1 KSoS (Claymore), 1 Drag/Zod (Amulet). Any normal character seeking such items would clearly not find them by clvl 38. (He also has a TC, 3 TFoS, and a Plentiful/Resurrect Staff.)
Another one of my mages, who refuses to increase his strength over 15 or use +Str items, found both a Dreamflange and a CC (16 str req vs 15 base str).

That's the luck of the BAR. Ask Nystul what his found. :)

Well last night I found somewhere between 7-10 healing potions in a row :P ! No gold, no items, no exploding empty barrels... just healing potions. I say 7-10 because I wasn't paying too much attention to the first three or so, then was like, hummm... Was sort of annoying actually because I was looking for items to sell to Gris so I could get better gear.

You know, I think Naj's drops often cause I've found it like 5-6 times. Not like demonspike though, I swear I've found at least 30.
