[1.09b] Drops Thread

@Manny
This is in 1.09b Classic though, no Shael or jewels haha

My bad bro I'm on auto-pilot lol. In that case, I'd go with P Diamond or P Emerald. TBH I don't know much about 1.09b Classic. No wonder you care about that bow. Now I understand, lol.

My luck has returned! The amazing itemization in this game means that we can't really target farm for a specific item, but I knew that Pindle was still my best shot at this item. And it took less than 10 runs this morning. The Bowazon is officially complete. I think hanging with @Erayz this weekend and seeing his GG's helped me get my head back in the game

Now I'm able to run my (of Perfection) gloves with +20 DEX which brings her overall DEX up to 550 with gear. And of course all while maintaining the 8fpa BP.

@Manny Congrats! You finally got the Diadem.

You are still target farming it though since target farming in this case is hitting monsters with specific Treasure Classes which can drop the item you want. Now the probability of that particular TC being selected and it being the rarity level you want it to be is a different story. But let's say, you wouldn't "target" Hell Bishibosh because he prolly won't drop a Diadem (I haven't checked his TC info).

Thanks bro

And yeah, you're right! I was certainly target farming Pindle (and his TC), but not the Diadem, since technically that would be impossible. In theory one could run Pindle indefinitely and he never chooses to drop the item you're seeking. That's the complete random nature of drops and what makes it so damn addictive lol.

[fearedbliss]

Haha yeah, unless you drop down to 1.07 - 1.08, then you could really "target farm" by racking lmfao. I guess if you find a stable Diadem rack you would eventually get a set version. I don't remember if Diadems drop (I think wooden items like bows and staffs don't drop so that's why you can't get a WF in 1.07, so only 1.08 would have the pre 1.09 WF stats since it has a complete TC, doesn't have working MF though, but then again, MF imo didn't work in 1.05, or at least not the way people are used to. It only works on white monsters, and prolly differently as well).

@Manny Holy **** nice find!!! Congrats! Do you plan on wearing full Mavina's or jus the Diadem?

Seeing your WF wielding Amazon, I got jealous and I decided to go for Pindle until he drops WF (don't know how long until I get bored lol). Just to have a side goal, I think I'll make myself an Excel file in which I compile all the uniques and set items I find, and the number of each, starting now. I will not count all the runs and items I already have before starting this little "project".

I really don't want to reach 99 with my Amazon before getting a Windforce

[fearedbliss]

@Erayz Haha. You could start a completely separate stash with Cactus and do your own ladder reset, then track it from scratch. Nice thing about this as well is you get to choose any patch you want, or could be the same.

Thanks bro! And love your plan to land WF! Apparently we inspired each other, lol. Funny thing is Pindle dropped me yet ANOTHER green 'set' Circlet just a few runs before the Diadem, and I basically cussed him out, lmao. Guess he heard me? I stared at the Diadem for a good 10 seconds in disbelief before taking that first screenshot.

Anyways, seeing all your 99's and GG's, you probably already know "what's next" on my radar.

The elusive, the baddest, the blade of blades -- THE GRANDFATHER

...cuz my baba is super jelly now

[Manny]

Oh, and I am just going to run the Diadem. Still need/want the bow just to complete the set though.

[Erayz]

Good luck @Manny on finding a Grandfather!

Let's see who finds his goal item first! Grandfather and Windforce are supposed to have the same odds of dropping.

Right now I'm running with 787% MF. According to Atma, Pindle has 1 in 25 938 chances of dropping Windforce. The odds per run are very sligthly better than that (very negligible) , since his minions can drop it as well at 1 in 2 231 969 odds lol.

My MF gear is like so:
74 Shako PTopaz
78 Tancred's Amulet
146 Ali Baba 2xIst
100 Wealth Dusk Shroud
25 Rhyme Kite Shield
40 Chance Guards
30 Goldwrap
28 Nagel x2
0 Tancred's Boots (for the set bonus on amulet)
22x7% MF Small Charms
14x6% MF Small Charms
