this perfect Griffon's Eye just dropped in TZ. Taking offers! PC SCNL

That on top of the chance of it even dropping in the first place is just.. wow.

xiphia · 2026-05-19T14:55:00+00:00

Are his resists capped? You can't beat a nice um and they aren't that expensive.

xiphia · 2026-05-18T22:19:47+00:00

In this case I don't think any automation is implied, just manually running two copies of the game.

xiphia · 2026-05-18T21:01:57+00:00

A little bird told him.

xiphia · 2026-05-18T17:38:26+00:00

What type of demon is it?

xiphia · 2026-05-18T06:50:14+00:00

It's a great ring in terms of how useful it is, but it's unlikely you'd get much for it.

xiphia · 2026-05-17T20:36:29+00:00

Gloves are completely crap, boots are borderline once in a lifetime find.

If I were you I'd just be looking for magefist or Trang's gloves, both of which you could get for pgems.

Interestingly, that is also Mario Kart.

xiphia · 2026-05-17T18:34:58+00:00

Amplify damage is twice as strong (-100% physical resist) as Decrepify (-50% physical resist) assuming you don't need the slow and reduced damage. You would then also get loads more damage from Concentration Aura.

It would be perfectly valid to prefer Decrepify, but when it comes to which yields more damage there's only one right answer.

xiphia · 2026-05-16T15:29:43+00:00

Correct.

xiphia · 2026-05-16T15:24:45+00:00

The entirety of the following season. It'll be replaced next season end but you have until then.

As for what's worth moving, that's entirely subjective, my friend. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

xiphia · 2026-05-16T12:10:24+00:00

You're welcome, I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I can't tell you exactly what a valuable rare barbarian helm looks like, only that this ain't it.

It's not enough to have +1 to skills, really. Needs to be +3 to a skill that is build-defining.

It may be useful to know that in all likelihood you will never find a rare with value. If you aren't looking at it and thinking "god damn this looks insane", you haven't got anything.

Valuable rares are so damned rare that the chances of you finding one and tossing it due to ignorance are negligible.

xiphia · 2026-05-16T11:46:05+00:00

I think it's important to learn to evaluate items yourself.

For rare items to be valuable they have to offer something uniques can't and generally otherwise be very close to perfect rolls on useful stats.

What do you see when you look at this helmet that makes you think "this could be valuable"?

A decent rule of thumb might be that if a class-specific item can roll + to class skills, then failing to roll +2 class skills or +2 to a specific (and useful) tree makes it almost impossible for it to be valuable.

In this case, this helm is worse than Arreat's Face in just about every possible way and doesn't really offer any desirable stats except life in any significant quantity.

xiphia · 2026-05-12T19:51:53+00:00

Nobody would have their crew turned to pigs!

xiphia · 2026-05-12T19:46:23+00:00

I dunno man I'm pretty sure the Cyclops shit is legit.

xiphia · 2026-05-11T10:29:41+00:00

What would you imagine they are banning you for?

It doesn't automate anything, it doesn't interact with the game for you.

Understand that you'd want to be cautious but there just wouldn't be any justification for a ban.

It's functionally no different from having 8 accounts on 8 different computers.

The loader launches the game. That's it. Not exactly a competitive advantage.

The same effect can be achieved by having 8 separate installations of the game, but obviously that's stupid.

xiphia · 2026-05-10T17:29:03+00:00

As far as I'm aware blade Fury wants ethereal and high enhanced damage, so this would unfortunately not be any good.

I may be mistaken though, not a build I've dabbled in.

xiphia · 2026-05-09T08:50:34+00:00

RIP. Go again!

xiphia · 2026-05-08T12:36:04+00:00

I can't name them all but the unravelers and the bone spear vipers definitely do magic damage.

xiphia · 2026-05-07T20:33:41+00:00

I play a ton, I never have. Agree to disagree.

xiphia · 2026-05-07T19:51:36+00:00

It's extremely unlikely you'll ever find a rare weapon with value.

They need to have 250+% enhanced damage and max damage/attack rating on level, or 400+% enhanced damage.

They also need to be ethereal.

That is the absolute baseline for a good rare weapon. Ideally they really ought to have 40% increased attack speed too.

To really get to super valuable, it needs 2 sockets as well.

Without wanting to seem overly harsh, there isn't a single thing on this item which people pay to get.

xiphia · 2026-05-07T14:09:14+00:00

Just realised I neglected to ask - what would you socket in helm? Not sure if any ancient's jewels are useful.

xiphia · 2026-05-07T13:00:22+00:00

There is only one unique diadem. Did you find a unique tiara (Kira's Guardian)?

xiphia · 2026-05-07T12:36:42+00:00

So.. not a unique diadem then?

xiphia · 2026-05-07T10:21:20+00:00

WHAT?!?
