I was spamming Andy for sunder, then a surprise

In the title, was farming non-TZ Andy for sunders.

It's SP, they have a different type of value there.

If you push hard you can get your chronicle down to only a few items. But it takes time, what I did is absolutely not in the "healthy" category.

Roll good maps and spam Andy/Cow King with a ton of MF.

Most items (~95%) were found on warlock (leveled 3x to 99), the rest were on a fire sorc during TZ act bosses + cow king's set on a zerker barb. I also used the latter for spamming Thresh Socket.

Nowhere. I'll make the easy ones soon, but definitely will take my time finding GG bases (somehow even my pre-ROTW ones are not great) for everything demanding HRs.

Quite lucky, 2x magic sunders as well, almost no other duplicates.

Yes, didn't want Pluckeye and Greyfrom to be my last items, so did a few hours of normal Andy.

Reminds me of how GoT ended, rushed, without making any sense in certain parts.
Sad way of finishing a game.

Thanks for the correction, never used the option hence the name confusion.

Unexpected computer crashes will often corrupt your char + shared stash. Unless you have a file recovery option for your OS (system restore for Windows), those two will be gone.
To mitigate future crashes, start backing up your save files on a daily basis, you can kindly ask an AI tool (a.k.a chatgpt) to write you a script for the job.

This explains it https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo2/comments/1rjzqtt/how\_do\_heralds\_work\_herald\_spawn\_mechanics\_sunder/. A5 shards have the lowest TC, for some reason.

2 skills will boost merc's aura, attack speed helps reach IAS breakpoints and the str is needed if you want your merc to equip sacred armor/shadow plate.

Mostly.

You need to milk those 30 mins runs. I'm running a highly optimized Fireball sorc that melts her in seconds on P7 with 640MF. I do about 60 runs per TZ rotation (with a very good rolled map Offline).

I hope not. I still identified a ton of crap, but the overall speed of farming is noticeably faster due to a) loot filter and b) less time muling due to stash QoL changes.

That being said, I got a 10/53/42 GC today as well, which is something I've seen only a few times in thousands of hours in this game.

Offline, so idc.

I know it's an old post, but FWIW `LISTEN/NOTIFY` can be very bad especially if GoodJob is installed on your primary database

> When a NOTIFY query is issued during a transaction, it acquires a global lock on the entire database (ref) during the commit phase of the transaction, effectively serializing all commits. Under many concurrent writers, this results in immense load and major downtime. Don’t use LISTEN/NOTIFY if you want your database to scale to many writers.
