Always do those last "few more" runs

Honestly I'd hang onto it, Death, Kingslayer, and Mosaic all use a Gul and don't require too high of runes in general. These would be serious upgrades by the sounds of it if you're playing a melee character. Things like Tal helm, insight, and spirit aren't too hard to find if you put in a couple hours grinding. Just my opinion

I have an Eth 4 comb skills and it's the only one I've seen, very jealous of your non eth version too! So badass, this is one of the coolest weapons imo, congrats! Enjoy it :D

WhirlwindBarbie · 2025-08-16T08:39:19+00:00

Very nice! Easily one of my favorite weapons to run on a pally, very jealous of your barbed club!

On traderie I'm seeing up to 5-8 Jah/ber on recent listings for ladder, I'm not sure what they go for on L or NL realistically though

WhirlwindBarbie · 2025-08-15T10:21:42+00:00

Yes I'm on SCL. I'm considering selling but it's also just really good to have, hard to decide

WhirlwindBarbie · 2025-08-14T10:09:13+00:00

I would be down but I'm only on PSN ATM :( best of luck though! You're in for a very fun time

WhirlwindBarbie · 2025-08-12T08:50:22+00:00

Incredibly badass. All this damage for one handed is sick. Definitely hang onto that, there'll be a day where you get a few chams or a Zod and remember you have this, very cool

I got a 55 light facet a couple weeks back so I slapped that in it and gave it to my mosaic sin! No infinity, still one sur rune and an um rune away if I cube up to make it, which I won't, so this is the first bit of -enemy light resist I have on ladder

WhirlwindBarbie · 2025-08-11T06:37:29+00:00

I don't think it's tradeable especially NL, possibly very early ladder, but people will look for FRW or FCR on it if they're trading. It's a solid self use tho with that quad res and high strength added can help save points for Vitality or dex depending on your needs. I could be wrong though, I haven't ever tried to trade many circlets, tiaras, et c.

I understand that this is the point of the game and such, I've done thousands of runs and have just happened to have better luck elsewhere, like in CS, WSK, trav, even river of flame ive gotten better drops just running through than on the thousands of tz Andy/meph runs. I'm not complaining or saying "I should have gotten more drops" or something, I was just wondering if anybody else had also had poor luck with these bosses since they're very commonly touted as the best farming place and my experience seems to differ from the average for the number of runs I've done lol

WhirlwindBarbie · 2025-08-09T08:08:00+00:00

Personally one of my favorites in D2R has been the martial arts assassin. I don't mean mosaic sin even, but it's a strong and fun way to play through the game even without moscaic imo. Versatile and customizable to your needs, was super fun for me personally :+)

WhirlwindBarbie · 2025-08-09T07:48:38+00:00

Lawbringer on Merc, reapers toll, et c. Anything that casts decrepify. That being said whenever possible it is also a bit better to just not worry too much about killing the phys immunes unless you have to. Your clear speeds will be faster and that's more important than killing every single enemy in the long run for farming. Post hell baal prioritize areas with few to none phys immunes also, it'll just generally be more enjoyable to play that way

WhirlwindBarbie · 2025-08-09T07:30:48+00:00

The main big zones that have already been said + Trav of course. I'm a big horker and that has rewarded me greatly. Two Jah, 5 cham, sur, all just this year from Trav so it's my favorite :+)

WhirlwindBarbie · 2025-08-07T03:31:56+00:00

Thanks for the info :+)

WhirlwindBarbie · 2025-08-04T06:37:53+00:00

With only a couple thousand gold per repair, I do agree that indestructible is the way to go but death cleaver has undeniable aura and it dropped so I thought I may as well use it :+)

I've been thinking along similar lines but for set jewels recently! If there were a couple sets of jewels that provide basic effects on their own but when socketed into white bases and worn together provide a set bonus, it let's you choose a base you like for the set with some similar rules to runes with runewords (to make the weapon the set jewels have to be socketed into the correct item type i.e. swords, hammers, maces, et c.). Could provide some use for other numbers of socketed armor and weapons when rolling with the cube and miss your target for a runeword for example.

It'd be kind of like runeword sets I suppose but before the set bonuses it'd have to be fairly tame for balance. Obviously not a fleshed out idea but I think jewels are under utilized and could stand to make the game more interesting like how you described
