Favorite/Best finds

[Trucidation]

I was just clearing Church/Hell with my new level 33 warrior when the Butcher dropped a unique 'crown' -- yep, helm of sprits. Sad thing is, I still haven't found a single piece of obs jewelry (with this character) and need resists on my headgear.

... Bastard.

I've been trying to find (i.e. not beg off of someone) my very own HoS for years now.

[LemmingofGlory]

WTF?! I swear, I have a crown of the heavens...

The following three bytes determine what "Heavens" appears on: 11 10 00. (From offset 7B31C in diablo.exe v1.09)

Each bit (single digit) determines whether it appears or not. 1 means it can, 0 means it can't.
The first byte is bows and jewelry, both 1's. Heavens appears on both.
The second is weapons and staves. Heavens appears on weapons, but not staves.
The third is armor (helms and body armor) and shields. It cannot appear on either.

I got a burned copy of Diablo from a friend

Don't be cheap. Diablo costs all of $10 US. It's worth the bucks.

I might ask him if he tampered with the source code first.

Source code is the stuff a programmer writes before compiling it. He'd have to break into Blizzard to get that.

It's highly unlikely someone would modify an executable before giving it to you. It's more likely your memory's fuzzy.

[o: *LEMMING* :o]

[silented]

My warrior has all my best finds in his inventory and he's almost complete... I just need to max his strength and do some shrine hunting to get his spells up.

Awesome Gothic Plate of the Stars: Dropped in Laz's chamber, I seem to remember it being laz himself but it might have been one of his witches. Wish it was full plate but that doesn't bother me much (I like the gothic look).

Obsidian Amulet of the Zodiac: Found it a few months ago from a soul burner with my sorcerer. I think I still have the screenshot of Cain identifying it though I don't have the software to convert it to jpg. My first and last.

Dragons ring of the heavens: Dropped from some random monster I think on level 15.

Obsidian ring of perfection: another good one from level 15

Kings Bastard Sword of Haste: The % to hit isn't too high on this but its still ksoh. I'd like for wirt to sell me a strange sword of speed/haste though. That would be sweet.

Godly Gothic Shield of the Ages: This is a good one. 54 ac (+197% ac and 18 base).

Naj's Puzzler: I found this with my rogue. perfect for zippy Laz runs.

Royal Circlet: Most recent find. Not more than a week old. Found in Laz's chamber but dropped by one of his Advocates. Before this I was using an awesome crown of the lion.

[aaa]

On just my lvl 28 rogue

Blessed 107 full plate 71 of Giants 16
Massive 98 short war bow of Perfection 27
Holy Defender
Lots of single enchant rings....(one for each resist, a heavens, a stars, a titans)

and.....


A Double Perfect Kings 100/175 Broad Sword of Vampires, bought from Griswold (such a nice fella he is, had to sell my Demonspike Coat to pay for it.)
Beat that.

[RoadRunner]

Well, a few days ago I got back to my first multiplayer passion, Diablo. Got one "old" warrior lvl 31/32 out of the junk box and started playing again. And this morning Gris sold me a broad KSoS 83/161 when the char war lvl34. Not the best I ever got, but still. Now He's 36. And just about half an hour ago tried the DSF channel but kinda empty.

Back in the days when I was playing a lot I got a few goodies:
1. drops
- HoS - 4 or 5 of them. Had 4 warriors (including this one) and each of them got one. And I think one of them got a second but can't remember exactly.
- RC, TC, and all kind of other uniques
- one emerald/tiger 47/49 (I think) large shield - best shileld for a LAW who died to a virus
- one drake/zod amy (can't remember the exact stats but was pretty good - actually the best zod I ever got)
- one dragon/wiz ring 60/29 - best jewel for my sorc I ever got
- obs/heav - 1 or 2
2. Gris deals
- KSoS/H - 5 of them. 2 bastard and 3 broads.
- KSoV - 1 bastard
- KSoHeav - I got offered more of them but I cant remember buying one.
- Obs/Tiger shield - 2 or 3 of them. Now My LAW has a 39/49/14AC gothic.
- Awe/Tiger shield - 150/50/20AC. Best you can get for a tank, my second warrior and my best ever.
- Obs/Stars 39/8 chainmail. On my LAW now.
- Saint/Sorc FPM 127/20/75AC. In the backpack of the same LAW.

And that's the most I can remember.

PS: When can I find someone online ?
PPS: How can I place an avatar if I dont have a webpage???
PPPS: Does anyone need a KSoPerf 100/160/20 bastard? I can always sell it to Gris but maybe someone needs it more than I need the almost 20k in gold. Gold is plentiful in this game. My warrior dosn't use it anyway. He's addicted to speed.

[DeeBye]

PPS: How can I place an avatar if I dont have a webpage???

Either use one of the default avatars, or get image hosting. Most ISPs generally include 10-15 MB of webspace with their service, so check into that. It will suffice for avatar hosting.

[LochnarITB]

Either use one of the default avatars

Hmm, I didn't know that default avatars existed. I went to check them out and found a blank list. Fortunately, I clicked in the box anyway and found that they are cleverly hidden by white on white type. ;)

[Tim]

King's sword of Vampires, best sword ever

Gotterdamnerung twice, 4 rings the Dark, 2 of which where in iron man.

[Darcia]

I have had quite a lot nice finds over the years. My most recent find I am very pleased with is a King/Speed Bastie 95/172 from level 15 or 16, random drop on Hell diff.

[Aogon]

I'm starting this thread because I was interested in knowing what are your best or favorite items you have found, bought or owned over all these years of playing Diablo. I bet some of the most experienced player who have had the game since day one have seen a couple of sweet items pass by...

Personnaly, I've been playing the full version of Diablo for about 6 years, but mostly the last 3 years or so have been the best since I've been more and more interested in the deeper knowledge and workings of the game. Thanks to places like the DSF and LL (many others actually), I have been able to quench that thirst for Diablo knowledge.:)

Here is my list of the items I think are the best I owned over the years, most of which I still do:) :

Armors:

2x Awesome Fpm of Giants - can't remember the stats, don't have them no more:(
Obsidian mail of the Stars: 39% ra / +11 all - my favorite LAW bodywear
Saintly Fpm of Sorcery: 73ac +125% / +18 magic
Also a few very high-end Awesome Fpm of nothing

Headgear:

Most my guys use RC or TC, but my first serious rogue had a nice Holy GrHelm of the Mammoth

Shields:

Near perfect Awesome Tower shield of the Tiger, don't have anymore:(
Emmerald Gothic shield of the Tiger: 48% ra / +46 life - very good LAW shield

Weapons:

2x Bountifull Staff of Apocalypse: both 36/36 charges - good for item recovery, even if it's overkill;), and to have fun!
Lightning Bastard sword of the Vampire: not particularly useful or good, but I had some fun with this one!
Obsidian short Battle bow of the heaven: 40% ra / +12 all, best I have bought so far

Now my collection of King's Bastys:

Kso Vampire - My Gotter wearing (first serious) warrior loved that to SC witches
Kso Blood - KsoV has better health return, but KsoB less of a hassle in the brawl
Kso Precision - Never used it, keeping it for my collection;)
Kso Giants - Same as KsoP
Kso Speed - My longest running Warrior used that, now gone due to comp crash
Kso Haste -The legendary blade! Bought my first two month ago. Thanks Gris!!:)
Jewelry:

Obsidian amulet of the Heavens: I own two - 35%/+15 and 34%/+14
Drake's ring of the Heaven: +49 mana / +15 to all - am pround of that one:)
Drake's ring of Wizardry: +49 mana / +29 magic - also proud
Dragon's amulet of Sorcery: don't remember the stats, but was pretty good AFAIK
Many perfect Zodiac rings and ammys, but God forbid they'd ever get a good prefix!
Well folks' that's pretty much my list, I may have forgotten a few and made up a couple (jk), can't wait to hear about your's!!

<EDIT> - Reformating

I found a Demonspike Coat off of Sir Gorash on Normal once. But i still think TFOS is Better. i never really found it, but im searchin'. Gave the DSpike Coat to a freind of mine. He was a tank mage.
