What are your best PoE item find/wealth moments? (Best trades/wealth accumulation etc...)

I sold this for 250 exalts one day. It cost me about 10-20 eternal to create back when eternal were 2 exalts each. It dropped with all affixes except flat evasion and fire resists. Sadly such an armor still loses terribly to coil.

from dried lake before it went high level.

This pales in comparison to everyone elses stories, but I've been playing POE for about 600 hours/since pre dominus and have always been poor. On standard, I have 2 6l items. One is a Daresso's Defiance that I traded for after grinding out currency, and the other one is the subject of this story.
I got back into the game at the end of prophecy league after quitting post-perandus, and was in the process of migrating my items and merging my tabs from the league. I found a 6 socket Lightning Coil that I had been fusing to try to get 6l for my league main, an Ice Trapper. I bought a currency stash tab, put the coil in the middle, and 6 linked it myself in 12 fusings. Never been happier in POE, as I've never looted anything better than a 1-10c crap rare.

Great stories! Keep'em coming!

Jesus christ what a bow. How does it compare to a reach assuming you dont use gmp/lmp on the reach?

I have some testing to do very briefly in between leagues -- my initial impression is that even with GMP, you should be able to achieve higher damages. Plenty of time to play around, but I believe the math was 450+ pDPS should be able to match reach, so this is just a tad higher.

Great stories so far guys! Sarang, sick bow man. OMG.

When I met you I was still using the 388 pDPS shitter bow :P

We all gotta start somewhere!! :)

That moment i dropped a mirror in docks on my lowlife sporker back in 'default' league.

Oh i didnt have shavs when i dropped the mirror hence me being in docks for an eternity.

Game changed quite abit for me when that happened :P

A few years back (when there we're quantity gems), I was in a full map party and we had a rain of arrows culler who made gigantic loot explosions. We completed a map with two bosses and loot covered several screens lengths of area. The entire party was spamming Eternal Eternal and I could not see it. After several minutes of moving loot off the screen, I finally found my Eternal. I would never have seen it if they had not told me.

Had a couple of nice finds trawling through old tabs to find now legacy gear - a 77 life, t1 spell damage, 60+ crit multi amulet with other nice mods and room to craft crit chance for instance (Pre ascendancy so crit chance still highly sought after)

But my best was probably this weekend - popped into standard to make a trade. Got paid in chaos so thought I'd try a bit of crafting/spamming chests.
Got a t1 Flat t1 hybrid vaal regalia - standard, so thought might as well slam it...

No rags to riches story here, just beginner's luck.

Last month I just got into poe and decided to go an unarmed cyclone facebreaker build since the guide I read made it sound cool. It was only after I got Facebreaker as my first orange drop that I realized what is was, and how ridiculously lucky I was to get the one item required for the build.

Ive 6L about 20 things BUT my best league EVER has been prophecy; dropped a mirror in Uber lab and 6L two Cospri's; divined 1 to 1 from absolute perfect.. also had this drop which I feel is the best ring I've ever found! Then I was able to kill UBER atziri for the first time and got the mask BUT STILL, mask marks some really impressive stuff for me!! Oh yea, then this belt dropped... in awe!
