Hey guys! Thought I might say hello to everyone here as I am a new member here and brag about a couple of cool drops I got today. I've played D2 on and off a couple of times in the past years, but mostly it was just messing around with it a little bit, maybe completing Normal, an act or two on NM and that's it. But now like 2-3 weeks ago for some reason I felt something pulling me back and now I'm neck-deep in the game and just can't stop. This time I started off as a Fury Druid and had a blast up until Hell, when my damage started begin being pitiful and I couldn't take three Fallen without using 4 health potions. Then I decided to try my luck at farming some bosses which I've never done before. Created a Blizz Sorc which just hit level 83. And for the past week I can't stop farming Hell Mephisto. It's been a long time since I've been hooked on something so much. My Atma stash is filled with hundreds uniques and set items. And while so far I don't have anything too cool to brag here, today I've had a really nice stroke of luck. I've mainly been looking for items to properly gear up both of my characters, so items like Shako, Ribcracker, Jalal's Mane and some more 'staple'' items were among my goals. And finally today withing my first like 5 runs of today, I got Dracul's Grasp, which I really wanted, The Oculus, which increased my Meph running time to ~35 seconds, and most importantly, this little beauty:
Jalal's Mane
Totemic Mask

Gave me a rush. The like 1000 runs I've done so far were worth it it seems. Unfortunately, no Ribcracker and Shako so far. The Rib has been my most sought-after item since I started playing with my Druid. After reading a few guides for directions, I noticed it's mentioned quite often as a very viable item, so I told myself that I'd definitely get that. But well, you can't have everything I guess
I registered just minutes ago after finding that sweet Jalal's scalp, though I've been hanging around these forums for like a week and after founding the SP trading forums, was kinda surprised, I didn't think people were doing that. That cool drop that I wanted to brag about pushed me to finally register and soon I might dive into the trading forum for those couple of items I'm still missing.
Man, when I make a introduction somewhere, I can't seem to be able to shorten it even a little bit. I hope this is the right place for this post, cause I didn't want to create a new thread or something. But hey, it says 'Anything goes', right?

So yeah, nice to meet all of you guys, I look forward to talking to you and learning all your secrets about the game.
Cheers!
