Who says that grinding drop sucks? :)

Dropped this few minutes ago. Btw, anyone knows what would be the good price for this tunic on Ra/Alsius?

I (still) DO! Grinding (period) sucks!

That said tho, I literally never drop-grind, & once upon a time (in goat oc, not that ABC tv show) I dropped a legendary too (right after they were introduced), & it was best item i ever dropped or boxed (except it was a f-ing rapier, doh!). Bet the grinder I buffed to get it would be pissed if they ever knew, but I was passing thru otw to pn on me conj, & just helping out (kudos to me then?).

Hmmm, those resists are pretty bad, so idk, 'Mr. 42'. I wouldn't ever pay more'n 100, top-of-tops, even on a very good day, but that's me. Offer at thrice that price & let them haggle ya' down?

That's true. But with scavenger gem combined with 3x loot boster, it's quite different story.

600% * shit = still shit.

Problem is (mostly) not the amount of drops, the problem lies within
1st the rarity of special, magic and epic items and
2nd the fact that few boni are 10 times more useful than others. Special leggings with 150 mana are super valuable, while epic ones with evade change and fire restance and magical resistance are nothing but trash in endgame

Actually, rough numbers are as follows:

- using scavenger gem
- grinding with two 3x loot boosters (so, two hours)
- grinding with lvl 60 barb
- killing mobs between very easy and normal difficulty
- grinding anywhere between Alsius CS and wall

I dropped:

- 2 great gems
- this legendary tunic
- great epic lvl 60 spear
- cca 20 minor/major gems (good enough for gem fusion)
- cca 30 special (lvl 45-60) and 1 magic item (lvl 60) good enough for AH sale (superior/master/great)
- unknown number of white / defect / worn items sold to merchant for like 8-9m gold in total

I gave you numbers, you conclude. Anyway, I will grind with 3x boosters with next scavenger gem for sure.
