i found two in under 25 runs :)
:( I'm so jealous. When I find my first i'm going to wake up the entire neighbourhood by playing Outkast Hey Ya on full volume on repeat for 15 minutes while doing the happy dance (or until my stereo is confiscated).

Yep, meph dropped my second shako yesterday.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm still sruck with my etheral one =( But i found a ethera Kelpie that i like. Upgrade it a bit and the damge should be over 600 with 75% slow, Meph stops moving and merc can survive even without BO.

Gtz Ham on number 2!

Do you have any idea how many runs you've done on hell meph using the first drop feature this season??

I'm just trying to work out when I should expect my first shako :)

Also how much MF do you have? I only have 63. 25 from rhyme, 10 on my ring and 28 from Gheeds. I think I should try and get 150% or so. I guess doing more runs should be my main priority tho.
Hmm a rough guess about the number of runs, 200? Got me 2 shako's a storm and some other stuff.

About my mf %, 50 from shako and 37 from Gheed's.

Yeah, I recommend going into high lvl runs and just MFing. Since Classic doesn't have Baals, I'll try this in CS. Thanks HamC8.

Ive found 2 Shako and 3 Skulders 0 SS and other various keepable uniques. Im at about 400+ first drop runs. 300+ MF

other notable drops.

Tgods
40 Gheeds
2x Saracens
2x Raven
2x Arreat
2x Spike
3x Draculs Grasp (My fav Melee glove, I love the life tap cast)

There is more but I cant remember them all.

About 1 Keepable unique in 8-10 runs is what you can expect and Im pretty picky. Also thanks to Silver on the kill tip. I noticed that in some positions is seemed to drop less items. This confirms my thoughts and I will try to get him to a favorable position more often. Also if you can do this with 2 machines (or copies running) I highly recommend it with a BO Barb. No fear on the tele or the fight and he can be making next while you tele and kill, speeding up your run time.

I have had my first drop sorc for a few days. She is level 84.5 and still in a3.

I have found gaze, occy, wizzy, Stormshield, cold facet, HoZ, arachnid, multiple sandstorms, verdungos, shaft, travs and a boatload (I'd say maybe 12 full mules total) of other neat stuff.

What lvl did you start running meph??

I was doing it for ages and didn't find much at all. Well nothing actually.

I'm just unlucky I guess.

Even in nm you can really rack up an easy fortune fast. I stopped my sorc in act3 nm for about 3 days and just mf'd him. Filled almost an entire acc full of mules with various useful stuff (mostly good lld stuff like angelics and sigons, some lld gear but a handful of good uniques too). Then she died.. Oh well thats the way it goes. And aren't I supposed to be gone? :lol:

I started at level 76. now i am level 85.

Since I posted a few hours ago, Meph has dropped me another stormshield. That makes two. Also got an ethereal +3/19 lit damage escuchas eldrich orb which i then traded for an ethereal 21% deaths fathom dimensional shard.

about 5 minutes ago i made a Hoto and boy is it nice!

So to make a summary here, it seems fair to say that most of us now recognice that first drop on hellmeph works! Right?

Question: I accidently killed hell meph in quest game but didnt pick up soul stone nor go in red. Now when i kill meph ALL magics i get still have increased durability. Ive been creatting game with sorc and killing in same game. So is this a easier way for quest drop or do I need to remake a character.

Hrm, i just accidently went into a3 red portal and started mephing again and whenever i get blues im still getting increased dura blues... Perhaps its the stone which makes you not have quest drop.

killing meph in a q game stops your first drop.
