Quote:I usually find much better stuff when I play on battle.net. 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.
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. :)
