the huge difference loot RNG can make, when it's actually on your side

Lol at bmbi1's flip out!
That's what self found gear looks like man.
I got to maps in bloodlines with this

And this was my upgrade that took me to level 86
(ignore the gems I was moving stuff around)

You need to take a wand and use some alts on it... >.<

I refuse to believe that this is not a troll thread

bought this:

What is stopping you from crafting a 4L yourself? Or do you only wear pieces that drop with the right amount of sockets, links and colours and vendor the rest, orbs included?

People complaining about terrible RNG should rethink their looting strategy imo, and maybe stop picking up those rare royal bows and grab a decent base helmet, wand and a dagger instead...

Why are you linking vendor items?

Is your RNG seriously THAT bad or do you only play like 16 minutes at a time or what?

If you can honestly tell me that you would consider that an above-average drop even for A3 Cruel, I'll finally understand all the tears you leak all over this place. Like seriously.

While I would say this belongs in Item Display Cabinet, I'm proud of JK for posting it - he needs some love from RNG to bring back his joie de vivre :)

Ignore BMBI, JK.

Grats on the sceptre. I know how it feels.

Here's the thing: You are probably aware of the backstories to my characters in this showcase thread. They tell of the progression of self found characters on an, at the time, 'young' self found account.

The second character was a freeze pulser.

If you look at his items, you'll find these linked



These 2 items were the very same 'awesome luck drops' as your sceptre, (look familiar, huh?) one would replace the other which was used until I finally got a 5 linked staff at maybe level 80+?

Grats again, John.

You have those items equipped?

At level 70? WTF?

Laughs at SF guy 3 days into new league. Links swag from perm STD to prove some point.

loooool :P

I was pretty happy when I got this wand, which I'm still using at lvl 77



That mana regen really helped in running higher AA.

Some of the responses in this thread are why people don't play PoE and say we all suck. Just so you know. I am looking at you BMBI.

Congrats on the upgrade! It is a lot of fun when something drops that gives your character a nice boost, especially when you have been using a mediocre blue item from much earlier in the game.

My first open beta character, a ranger, had just beaten the Vaal Oversoul, was still hardcore (furthest I had taken an HC character at that point). I dreaded facing the monster Perpetus, because he almost always wins that initial encounter. I decided that if the character was going to have any honour, she had to face him and not run away. He dropped a very nice upgrade for her, as she had been using a blue serrated longbow up until then.



It was very exciting to find that, at just the right time. Looking at the item again, I see the lowly bear trap gem that finished Perpetus off when he was so close to killing my character. His own medicine proved his undoing :-)

I'm wearing this at Lv51 in the 1 month torment/bloodlines SC
