On Mephisto and Azurewrath Azurewrath Phase Blade One-Hand Damage: 102 to 115 Required Dexterity: 136 Required Strength: 25 Required Level: 85 Sword Class - Fastest Attack Speed Indestructible Item Version: 1.10 Expansion Item Level: 87 Fingerprint: 0x6b58ee0a +9 to Strength +9 to Energy +9 to Dexterity +9 to Vitality +231% Enhanced Damage Adds 250-500 magic damage Adds 250-500 cold damage over 10 seconds +3 to Light Radius 30% Increased Attack Speed +1 to All Skill Levels Level 13 Sanctuary Aura When Equipped After losing my original map seed with my sorc /clicked on normal instead of hell/ , reloaded my .org backup ATMA file , checked the seed and used the command. Azurewrath fell from MEphisto. Item Level is obviously 87. Mephisto is lower. How ? Is this a side effect of the -seed command ?
Hell Meph is lvl 87 monsters, so he can drop it. In fact running Meph is maybe the easiest way to get Azurewrath
Thanks Lpr, thanks Shade, Actually there is something unusual. It was in this forum that I read there were 4 /four/ items Hell Mephisto could not drop - Tyrael's, Azure, Arachnid's and -whatever-the-name-I-have-forgotten. By now I've found three Arachnid's off Meph and when I asked /remember - I read HERE about Meph's no-drops on the above/ I read that there were actually two items he could not drop - Azurewrath and Tyrael's. Now I got Azurewrath and ask again, Could someone tell me, once and for all, please, What exactly Mephisto cannot drop ? Thanks in advance !
That's not quite correct. Mephisto can drop Phase Blades since he has a cap of TC78 and Phase Blades are TC75. However, the qlvl for Azurewrath is 87. This means that Mephisto (mlvl =87) can drop it but other creatures which can drop from higher TCs but have lower mlvls (e.g Pindleskin with mlvl 86 and TC cap of TC87) *cannot* drop it. --T
After reading my answer above, you'll realize that Mephisto cannot drop any set/unique whose base item is above TC78. He can drop Arachnid's Mesh (qlvl=87, base item is Spiderweb Sash in TC63) and Azurewrath (qlvl=87, base item is Phase Blade in TC75) since his mlvl (87) is high enough to drop unique/set versions of *any* base item he can drop but not Tyreal's (or Templar's) Might since these have base items (Sacred Armor) that are TC87. --T
Thanks, Doc ! Information appreciated ! :worship: Just as a sidenote. Unless a person is running for Sacred Armours in particular - don't you think Meph has turned to be an even more lucrative MF hunt target than he was in 1.09 ?
OffTopic: whats with all the /random forward slashes grey? OnTopic: so tryaels might and templarsare the only 2 items he cannot drop, is this right?
Sorry, Bob, I usually put /text/ in my usual way instead of putting (text) into normal brackets - I prefer the couple of forward slashes - no shift needed and on the same key on the keyboard. :teeth:
according to www.d2exp.com tyraels might, azure, aracnid mesh, ammy charm and constricting ring are the only uniques that cannot be dropped by meph hell, and 2 of them are impossible in normal games.
Well I once posted the list of items hell Meph can't drop but maybe it is time to post it again now: Cranebeak Death Cleaver Messerschmidt's Reaver Executioner's Justice Widowmaker Windforce Gut Siphon Fleshripper Ghostflame Stone Crusher Schaeffer's Hammer Earth Shifter The Cranium Basher Tomb Reaver Stormspire Astreon's Wand Steel Pillar Mang Song's Lesson Frostwind Grandfather Lacerator Wraith Flight Gargoyle's Bite Death's Web Leviathan Steel Carapace Templar's Might Tyrael's Might Shadow Dancer Steelrend Veil of Steel Nightwing's Veil Giant Skull Crown of Ages Medusa's Gaze Spirit Ward Griffon's Eye Aldur's Deception Bul-Katho's Sacred Charge Bul-Katho's Tribal Guardian Griswold's Valor Griswold's Redemption Griswold's Honor Taebaek's Glory Ondal's Almighty Immortal King's Soul Cage Mavina's True Sight Mavina's Embrace Natalya's Mark Sazabi's Cobalt Redeemer Tal Rasha's Guardianship Trang-Oul's Guise Trang-Oul's Girth Cow King's Horns Cow King's Hide Cow King's Hooves Zod
Ah, but d2exp is telling you what can't be dropped in Durance 3. Meph himself can't drop above TC78 - but any random bosses (Blood Lords, Undead Stygian Dolls) can drop from TC87, but won't be high enough level to drop Tyrael's. Azurewrath and Arachnid Mesh can be dropped by Meph and these random bosses, as we've already established
You are not interpreting the data correctly. What it shows is for the regular creatures in those areas and not for the Bosses/Superuniques. Due to the area level effect, the regular creatures in Durance 3 get a boost in their TCs to what you see but not Mephisto. --T
so for high lvl uniques you diont need to run meph, just those monsters leading up to him, althoguh they have a lower chance of uniques, they can drop most items.
You're thinking of Pindleskin, who is mlvl 86, whereas Meph is mlvl 87. Pindle cannot drop those because they are qlvl 87. However, Pindle can drop a longer list of items that Meph can.
