Something put me under the impression that eth Phase Blades can't drop. By the sounds of things, eth Crystal Swords can? And what about eth Dimensional Blades?
Yes, yes and yes.

Well well. The Diablo-gods apparently know I just had my birthday!

First, from NM Andy:

The Ward
Gothic Shield
Defense: 112
Chance to Block: 46%
Smite Damage: 2 to 6
Durability: 32 of 40
Required Strength: 60
Required Level: 26
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 49
Fingerprint: 0x447bb18a
+10 to Strength
+100% Enhanced Defense
+10% Increased Chance of Blocking
+40 Defense
Magic Damage Reduced by 2
All Resistances +50

I've been waiting for this! I'd already found two with worse resists, but it wasn't so useful any more, as I'd already found this:

Chromatic Spiked Shield of the Wolf
Defense: 24
Chance to Block: 30%
Durability: 39 of 40
Required Strength: 30
Required Level: 42
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 66
Fingerprint: 0x793809ec

All Resistances +68
Socketed (2: 2 used) [2 Perf Diamonds]

Then, questing on through Act 3, some random monster drops me this:

Burning Grand Charm of Strength
Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus
Required Level: 42
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 55
Fingerprint: 0xf8b7d42a
+6 to Strength
+1 to Fire Skills (Sorceress Only)

Pretty useful, considering it's my pure Firesorc I'm playing with.. my fourth skiller I pick up in Durance of Happiness level 2:

Harpoonist's Grand Charm of Sustenance
Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus
Required Level: 42
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 58
Fingerprint: 0x35c80e12
+30 to Life
+1 to Javelin and Spear Skills (Amazon Only)

Cool! So far Meph hasn't dropped me anything useful, just some exceptional uniques, but Maffer Dragonhand dropped me my first Shimmering charm:

Shimmering Large Charm
Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus
Required Level: 26
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 53
Fingerprint: 0xe2b350c1
All Resistances +7

Well, pindle still hates me, he still doesn't drop anything very valuable (another shimmering small charm, +5 all resists, no suffix)


(I play 1.09) But he dropped a unique battle sword (headstriker), is it worth anything? The mods got to me:

150% ed
Prevent monster heal
+15 str
+1 to max damage (depends on clvl)
+1.25 to deadly strike (based on clvl)

My sorcy found it, the ED is decent and the prevent monster heal is handy, but the max damage and deadly strike based on clvl are good (my clvl 84 sorcy shows a 126% chance to deadly strike) maybe a zealot can have some use as a mid term weapon? the lack of ias and elemental damage is very bad, but it can be helped by gloves and belt

Since I've already got one for my grail, it ain't too special. And since I'm untwinked at the moment, it could be nice (still in Act1 norm) if I weren't going with 2 handed weapons. :rolleyes:

Running hell countess, foung a wizzy on a rack. Love my map. Level 4 has a weapon/armor racks by the door to level 5. I believe this is the second unique I've racked in 1.1x. A good item, and a graillie.

{Edit}

Just racked a unique scimitar from the same rack. Must have a good seed or something, thats two uniques from the same rack in about half an hour, with a whopping 78 mf. Now why can't I rack IKSC or a Shako???

Did 50 countess runs to finish off the 2000 I was shooting for. It was a good set, netting me a pul and ko from the countess, along with a lem from a random minion and a ko from a random ghost.

Didn't take screenies, and you probably wouldn't believe me anyway. Hellforge dropped an Ist yesterday for my Blizz sorc, and I found another Ist + 3 Ko's running Countess with my CL/FO sorc. Twas a good day for runes.

That makes 4 Ists total for me, none used. And I've yet to see a Mal. Odd...

Not all that odd actually. The probabilities for the high end runes are so small that it's an absurd bit of luck to get any of them. It's not uncommon at all to have your first high level rune be an ist, skipping over one or even as many as three runes on your way. My best is a Gul... I doubt the next highest will be a vex... I'll probably skip a couple and get an Ohm or a Ber or something. The chance of getting a vex is probably less than the combined chances for getting something higher than a vex.

Well, been playing a bit with my first real "runner." (could I still technically call it an MFer even though it has less then 40MF?)
The Lightning Sorc was Mat'd on Friday night or Saturday morning.

First tried about a dozen shenk and eldritch runs on sunday; nothing good was netted.

Took a break, came back sunday night and decided to try out some P8 NM cows, they went down fast so I went over to Hell mode. Forgot that P8 was still on but tackled them anyways, it was very doable since FCR and Teleport make for easy distancing, but they took atleast 10 lightnings each to go down. I started another game and went on P1, 40 seconds and 4 cow mobs later I spot a Sur Rune!

This morning I got some help to complete Anya's quest, with this I was finally able to run pindle, just moments ago I completed my first dozen pindle runs and netted a Kira's Gaurdian and a StormShield :clap:

Very satisfied with my first real hell runner, looking forward to when she's powerful enough to take on P8 hell cows.

Yup, what Shagsbeard said. I have found 3 Mals from the countess prior to my first Pul. Things like that happen...(well, actually if you do the math, which i am too sleepy to at this point, it is a rather slim chanche to get 3 countess ist prior to your first countess mal, but probably not extremely small)

well actually i am not that sleepy. if the chanche of finding an ist is p and the chanche of finding a mal is q than the chanche of finding 3 ists prior to a mal is
(p*sum(n, 1/(1-p-q)^n,1,inf))^3 = (p/(p+q))^3
so if p = 0.5q (iirc that is a good approximation) than it is 1/27 which is not that small a chanche in the world of Diablo2 thingy-finding chanches.
