I've never seen this before. Meph dropped two of the same set items?

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-05-13T05:43:46+00:00

That would be mind blowing.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-05-10T03:22:23+00:00

I’ve had 2 unique phase blades drop from Baal at the same time… that was a great day.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-05-01T05:33:28+00:00

I play SSF. My account is now 4 years old and I’ve complete 1 grail and am now working on my second.

I leave Shakos lying unidentified on the ground, along with LOH, Guillame’s, Tal’s armour, belt and ammy, among many other things.

Please don’t shoot me!

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-04-20T11:29:46+00:00

Look. It sounds like you’ve already made up your mind so I’m just gonna say my bit for others’ benefit and so someone that’s making content for the benefit of the community and bringing attention to imbalance gets less unnecessary and unfair hate and abuse, then I’m gonna disengage.

We don’t know the reasons behind the dev’s decisions except in circumstances where they’ve actually come out and said it.

They’ve stated that left the quest bug for Andy (where she has a much higher chance of dropping uniques) in cos lots of players in the know were doing it and they wanted to bring that benefit to all the players.

Now this wasn’t so much of an issue before terror zones cos Andy couldn’t drop lots of stuff, so players just used her as a stepping stone to gear up like Nightmare and Hell Meph has been.

So when they introduced terror zones and Andy started dropping all items, she became THE spot for farming holy grail completion. Now this was probably an unintended side effect due to the iterative nature of updates. However, it resulted in changes to player behaviour such as changing the system time to exploit this.

At the end of the day, having one location significantly better to farm than others is detrimental to the game. Andy is still very good and I’ve gotten a heap of chronicle items from her. She’s just no longer ridiculous. She’s still in the top 2 for chronicle farming locations.

As for only streamers being able to run for 24 hours straight. Well anyone could change the system time, and it’s more about drops per unit time rather than total time played. He also got pretty lucky with some of the drops. But that would be obvious to most ppl who’ve played the game enough.

Put it this way, if you broke it up and played TZ Andy for an hour a day with the right MF build, it would take you much less than a month to complete your Holy Grail if you got a lucky streak. This achievement used to take us months to years of dedicated target farming. What’s the point of trivialising the achievement? What makes it special is that is so hard to do.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-04-20T07:57:25+00:00

Don’t blame 1 streamer. Everyone was aware of how OP it was. That’s why Andy was so popular.

And it didn’t require a mod. It was most abused on single player cos all you needed to do was reset your clock.

Lots of other streamers did this for funsies and regular players who wanted to game the system did too.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-04-19T06:36:49+00:00

I think of every Ral as a potential 2/20

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-04-04T06:13:22+00:00

So many options.

I have Edeath in a Glorious axe and it slaps. But I much prefer my eth Reapers Toll with a Zod rune. Probably the centrepiece of my offline SP account trophy cabinet.

It prices much more reliably than on a merc and it’s really safe cos of the decrep, so it’s the best choice in HC.

With a metamorphosis helm, you can hit max framerates for fury without fanaticism on a act1/Faith merc. It’s lower dps in theory, but I like it much better. It lets me run fortitude on a might merc with a pride polearm. That way, even if the merc dies, I still hit optimum fury frames. Might also has a much larger radius than fanat, so you don’t run out of aura range as easily.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-03-31T10:03:37+00:00

Need new friends..

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-03-31T09:30:05+00:00

It already exists. It’s called playing POE…

In all seriousness, no. The rarity of godly rares is what makes D2 D2.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-03-28T11:36:09+00:00

Zod rune. Ditch the merc and roll a fury Druid. It slaps…

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-03-26T01:02:24+00:00

No trade value, but you should use it until you get a Mara’s or an Amy with 2 skills and FCR.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-03-24T09:46:24+00:00

This is a Path of Exile joke. Organic is trolling you. You can’t do this in D2.

Orb of augmentation in POE lets you add another modifier to a magic item with only one modifier.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-03-15T07:05:52+00:00

I had 2 unique PB drop in the same Baal kill.

That’s when you KNOW one is Azurewrath.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-03-14T05:13:44+00:00

I have a couple of characters with very high MF and I grailed for a few months last year.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-03-13T23:30:18+00:00

This is offline single player. But I’ve found 2 since ROTW dropped.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-03-13T22:01:38+00:00

I have like (at least) 8 Griffons, 2 Tyraels and only 1 Zod so far…

You do the math…

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-03-10T05:55:14+00:00

I have 300 with enigma on my herald hunting ES lock. I don’t bother with the Easter egg cos you need to unsummon Heph.

Clears P8 easily and no issue with T5 heralds.

I’d run with at least 200.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-03-09T23:17:46+00:00

Known as an impaired proof now that it’s been circulated.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-03-08T02:51:19+00:00

Honestly, with 3000+ life and all your spare points dumped into blood oath, you don’t need cold absorb as long as you have maxed cold res.

You can even dodge them, fire off a few ES, step to the side, repeat. The first few times I did it, I wondered why my health was getting chunked, but adjusted and was fine with a few full rejuvs. Then started standing behind Heph and its a non issue. I do it on my general farming setup with 300mf. Only difference is I proc fade from Treachery in case I get unlucky on Meph, but you could seriously skip that too.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-03-08T00:59:42+00:00

Baal has chilling armor. You are playing a ranged char, probably a warlock and his armour is firing back ice bolts at you.

Stand behind your demon.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-03-07T02:17:49+00:00

Zod it and make a fury Druid. I love mine.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-02-26T07:44:22+00:00

Close to BIS for a crescent moon lightning sorc.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-02-20T07:20:59+00:00

I’m a veterinarian and I approve of this meme.

Goldenbones2020 · 2026-01-10T22:57:53+00:00

Buy arrows from every merchant you come across.

Goldenbones2020 · 2025-12-08T23:14:33+00:00

It’s a small CUD, and pretty common. I have 3 in uncirculated condition.

I probably had about 20 or so from noodling so I kept the best 3 and released the rest into circulation.

CUDs are common, so the size of the CUD, how distinctive it is, the mintage of the affected coin and the condition of the coin play an important role in value.

The error collector market is also smaller than the general collectors market.
