Had a /cutwrist time this weekend.
For close to last 2 weeks haven't done anything but look for that stupid gilded. Friday night I join with sirpaul and we cruise through several 60+ grs. Used some of the scrap I received and started making daggers and got an ancient sticker with pretty decent rolls. Also got 2 ancient items upgrades and a third I already had but with a slightly better stat distribution.
So Saturday I get back to "the fun" and to great enjoyment I actually find a gilded on my 2nd rift of the day. And as i'm wacking away, watching my new friend drop wonderful coin, seeing the counter go up past 1 million, then 2 million, then 3 million, I then have pause thinking his health doesn't seem to be going down so much anymore as he's opening yet another portal. And then he's gone.......
Ugh
Realized that I hadn't put grandeur back into the cube and my damage was neutered when losing the set bonus putting leoric on. So I dropped an actual ring into my bag to not have that happen again....and resumed a life of dread. Would be nice to not have to go 2 weeks before finding one again.
It was a good weekend, got my thorns sader up and running, all ancients except for the belt that has eluded me so far.
Have choice of weapons, ancient pig sticker, doombringer, and swiftmount which is awesome.
Must have set some kind of record Saturday, in one session I had 4 gifts drop and then another in limited time on Sunday.
From a reddit discussion about finding guildeds:
"Easiest will always be to find a guilded baron with about 200% gold on gear on T10. To find a guilded baron without having to wait 50 rifts, simply do the following route.
festering woods(search around) > southern highlands (possible bandit shrine just south of port) > last floor to skeleton king(it seems it can be anywhere on the floor, search around) > floor to azmodan, if nothing, reset.
I did both mine in HC and SC under 20 min each. There is other place where gob spawn alot but these seemed like the one that were the best for me. If you 4man this, all 4 of you will be done in no time. 2 on festering(1 goes to southern highland first), 1 on SK floor and last on Azmo floor."
I've had pretty good rates of spawning on the floor before skeleton king, and on azmodan's lead-up floor, myself.
For not even having a sader yet you had incredibly good sticker/lantern.
I'd like to find another goblin shrine.. They need to buff the rate that those show up. Love those.
Anyhow, I wanted an ancient kyoshira fist for my monk.. so I started crafting and cubing some fist weps. I end up getting one, and it rolls so badly. Damage wise, but I wanted to use with with the vengefull wind fist(need an ancient one of thse in season as well) and swk for the wol build. So I gift it, and my very next run.. an ancient one with really good damage stats drop.. had to waste another gift.
Is the Vengeful Wind an ancient you have that's a placeholder or is that part of your final build? If the latter, then why?
SW's damage is really lackluster, so I'm wondering why bother with the Vengeful Wind? If you're doing bell, you should focus on that and that alone, otherwise you won't be maximizing the potential that's there.
rng dropped some stuff in my lap, the sticker, a nice ancient doombringer, that steed charge mace. A really nice ancient hellfire.
It is busting my nads trying to acquire an ancient belt of trove though.
