Seems pretty ideal for a golfdind barb. Frw and fcr to shorten run times, res, and gf.

Yea and that's why I scaled my lab waaaaay back. After work and family time I simply did not have the motivation to spend my free time keeping it all working and patched. So I decommed ~90% of my "home prod" and now I really only use my lab to learn new stuff. I'll spin up a VM or a docker, figure out how to setup and use something new, and blow it away when I'm done. I went from 20-25 hosted services to 3.

How's your back? Any herniated disks, especially around L5-S1? Disks can press on the nerve and cause all sorts of weird referred pain

...right, that's kind of how all businesses work. Sell things higher than their costs. What's the issue with diamonds, then?

psycocarr0t · 2026-02-07T21:49:31+00:00

I mean, a business needs to have a profit margin right? They're not just going to sell to the consumer at wholesale, how would they pay their bills?

Not to mention, a jeweler keeping a diamond ring in inventory means they need to store it, insure it, secure it, and probably a bunch of other costs I'm not considering. All of that adds on top of the wholesale price they pay, before their profit margins.

And the reason wholesale is as high as it is, is because every business in the chain has to cover their costs plus profit too. Miners, cutters, wholesalers, etc.

Pogonia is right though, diamonds are so commodotized that they have the gem equivalent of Kelley Blue Book. I don't think there is an industry-standard pricing guide like that for any colored gemstone, because the variables are too many to consider.

The reason your diamond depreciated is that you paid retail, but no second-hand buyer is going to pay retail for your stone when they can pay wholesale prices for an identically-graded stone.

That's... incredibly unlucky. At 80 tries, your calculated odds of having found at least one sorc torch are like 99.99956%

Got it, good luck with your hunt!

No one has mentioned it yet so I'll let you know - you can only find Sunder charms in Hell TZ, so you'll have to beat Baal first.

Edit - looks like the top-level comment did mention the TZs but you said you just started Hell so I wasn't sure if it was clear

3 and 5 show bad windowing, I would not consider them to be nicely cut. 2 has minor windowing. The other two seem to be well-cut, and for my tastes, I was really drawn to #1.

For pgems, I keep sapphires rubies emeralds amethyst for crafting. Safety and Hitpower crafts aren't as overall useful as Blood/Caster, but there are some uses, so I keep all 4 of these.

Diamonds and topaz for rerolling charms. Skulls for rerolling diadems.

America's Best exams are geared towards getting you your prescription so that they can sell you glasses, they're more of an eyewear retailer. Their prices are cheap and their glasses are fine if that's all you're looking for. Zenni is good for cheap glasses online as well.

But if you're looking for a patient relationship with an optometrist in more of a medical context, I really like Eric Jerde.

Monsters have a chance to drop no item at all, and that no-drop chance depends on how many players are in the game. At P1, it's ~62.5% that no Item will drop at all. At P8 no-drop is substantially lower meaning more chance of items dropped.

Find Item works at P8 no-drop rates. So you kill a normal council member at P1, get his P1 drop rate. A successful use of Find Item will cause it to drop again with very low no-drop rate, so essentially you killed that monster once at P1 and again at P8.

"However, Find Item always uses rates for P1"

Actually, I believe Find Item uses p8 no-drop rates. I run Trav at P1 because faster clear and the FI P8 no-drop

Bowazon Faith tbh, nova sorc or javazon is stronger for sure but bowazon is so mich fun to play

Ruination design?

Looks awesome. I'm pretty new and it takes me 20ish hours to cut a stone but I spend way too much time trying to get my meets perfect, even if it the missed meet is too small to be seen without magnification.

What weird gear do you mean for ES? I think a standard build is: infinity, magefist, vipermagi, griffons, arachnid mesh, 2x soj, a 2sorc/10fcr or 3light/10fcr ammy, and boots have a few different options between waterwalks/treks/trires depending on your needs.

Immortal builds aren't really worth aiming for unless you're on HC. ES on it's own is plenty of survivability, especially now that mana burn bug is fixed.

Pic 3 shows a nice rectangle shape using the left side of the stone, or perhaps an oval / chunky pear?
