    He probably made them up. There are definitely a lot of "Citation needed" moments in his guides.

    Anything Goes D2 Lounge!

    I am not doubting that approximations work, but those usually require a lot of data to become accurate. For example the superchest explanation by Jarulf had a mistake (which is potentially very relevant when simulating drops from them) because despite being an expert he looked at them for maybe...

    Anything Goes D2 Lounge!

    Funny thing is that a lot of the "factual" stuff about D2 is also just an approximation of the truth. The only people who can know anything about what actually happens are those that open a debugger and see what code is being executed as the game runs. Considering that Blizzard does not look...

    Hammerdin murders everything (untwinked even), no idea about Bowa but I can't imagine she is ever efficient at this in 1.00. What do you mean by Fire Golem? Like how does he kill cows at all? :p

    Welcome back! It feels very weird to log in and then have a notification, that Grape liked one of your posts. It's like I am seeing ghosts :ROFLMAO: Nah, your crafting runes in 1.07 are stale by now :cry:

    2022 Spring RFL Sign Up and Running Thread: Round 3 (Areas)

    Considering that he found two nigh identical uber pelts which have 1 in 95,5 billion and 1 in 191 billion chance respectively it should be no problem for him to find a measly Stormspire which you get every 7 million boss kills. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I agree with the strategy in every point except this one and I had the same success with it as you. I chose to put points into Glacial Spike instead because it is useful outside of the Maggot Lair and it keeps the maggots in place. Of course I never tried any other fire spell besides Warmth in...

    2022 Spring RFL Sign Up and Running Thread: Round 2 (Travincal)

    Yeah man, I only got 4 qualifiers in 3 hours and stopped because of that. You told me that mod you sold me would give me at least 2 qualifiers per hour. I want my money back 😭😭😭

    Halp. Im n00b :(. Why cant I Hellforge?

    Spirit was not included in the game files in the 1.10s beta and accordingly there is no RWM for it either. You could go for the 75% FCR breakpoint because you are essentially only using him to take on the River of Flame at players 2. A HotO together with Vipermagi means you only need one more...

    1.08 News, Info and Gossip

    Council in 1.08 can drop from "Act 4 (H) Equip A" which is different from its 1.07 iteration in that it should drop up to weap78 and armo78. They changed the system dramatically, so now you don't have the same graph I showed you for 1.07 (the one with the "fins") but rather something that looks...

    D2R LK Patterns

    All LK drops have been simulated for 1.07-1.14d and when somebody compared for the first D2R release I recall some patterns matching with those of 1.13c-1.14d. That being said the area levels were changed with 2.4 which could potentially affect some chests in the new high level areas.

    Halp. Im n00b :(. Why cant I Hellforge?

    Hammerdin is actually the easiest choice for the collections. If you really have 100 chars parked you can even make him a HotO from some of the rewards.

    2022 Spring RFL Results thread: Moo Moo (Round One)

    The most likely result in 1.07-1.09 is that you get nothing. Increasing the number of qualifiers from 5 to 6 (or 7 or whatever number seems reasonable) could be a good way to make it more balanced. The more casual person who finds a single Zod and some lower runes still places highly but faster...

    Beyond Infinity... To the Item Find Thread

    Since I forgot to post my non-qualifiers in the RFL result thread I just dump them here, starting with the skillers: followed by the small charms: where the middle one is actually perfect for LLD. Next up jewels which feature two Ruby Jewels of Fervor! Also I found a nice ring, which might...

    Everything on the left is my second set (20 hours) and everything on the right is my third set (7 hours): I played 7 hours of Javazon on p7 and then 20 hours of Necro on p5. Here's the only rune worth mentioning: Kinda sad that the time for rounds was shortened, it is not possible to do 3 full...

    I'm posting results later, but it is already clear that this is one of the worst results for 1.14d runners in a long time. 🤣
