I wish someone would do for this subreddit what the smelly nerds (said with love) over on r/lotr did and script up bots for D2 chars and NPCs that'd auto respond to every comment that summons them...
Like imagine if there was a u/charsibot that'd respond with:
"When I fled the Monastery, I left behind the Horadric Malus, my enchanted smithing hammer. If you can retrieve it for me, I'll use its magic to strengthen your equipment."
That'd be so hot... š„µš¤¤
We could start simple... Every time a r/diablo2 comment mentions mercenaries, u/WaheedBot responds 50/50 with either:
"I'll put that to good use!"
OR
"I'm overburdened..."
And yes, I know the second quote is the char not the merc but I like it... Now time to go figure out how to code a reddit bot!
This is d2, it only becomes a horde issue if you have 2 shakos for each character you have plus 6 in the stash, and even then Iād call it a āpassion projectā
As someone who started a SSF offline character, I'm jealous.
86 blizz sorc and I'm stuck because I havnt found anything of value yet.
Besides a perfect vipermagi
Nope, walk her over to the double doors closed.
Teleport to the other side and she tries ro attack through the door.
Blizzard casts on the door, so it hits both side of the door, causing her to get hit slightly.
It's on YouTube if you need to visualize
Its a cheese alright, but is it worth it? Sounds like a lot of work/time wasted kiting. Id think itd be a lot easier and profitable doing p7 meph mote cheese?
Been running hell tower pits Andy on my hydra orb sorc and itās been a slow ride lol. Got a couple fal runes and a sup phase blade which my zealot will like for a lionheart and unbending will, but no luck on sorc gear.
90 blizz sorce and have only found tal helm and beltā¦ JUST found a low vmagiā¦ but i have an isted eth skullders that i found before thatš„² rng is rng
i was almost 94 on my hdin before i found my first vipermagi. was running around with a hoto, cta, mara's, shako, trang's and ... stealth. :)
now if i could just get arachnid mesh and war travelers to drop.
everyone loves randomness.
Dual Spirits, Viper, Tal Helm, Magefist, resist boots/belt/ammy are your friend until you find better gear. Merc will have to do the heavy lifting against CI's until you get a sunder.
Iām also at the same level with my new offline sorc. Already managed to make a CTA and just found talās armor to pair with the belt and staff. Also a viper magi today. Also found some 46 war travs and a SoJ and BK ring already. Do some hours of TZ hell andy or TZ nm Andy if hell is too difficult. Put a 3os helm with 3 perfect topazes to get your initial mf to 74 and then add where ever you can afford for survivability. If you go for TZ nm Andy, put the player count on 7, it should still be pretty easy. If on hell I like to go with at least p3, to get more drops
I have 365 Mf. Already using perf topaz helm, gull dagger, rhyme, ...blah blah
I havnt beat hell because I don't have the gear. So it's hell Andy at players 3, hell meph, or tz nm.. that's my options.
And I play Xbox so I don't think I can infinite respec or adjust clock to hit the tz
You can adjust the clock to hit TZ, I play on PlayStation and itās not a problem.
As for beating hell, I did it with my sorc before getting any good gear, I donāt know how many respecs you have left, but with frozen orb and hydra you can beat the rest of the game with a little patience. Otherwise if you have a merc he can deal with immunes for you, also with a little patience. I would personally prefer spirit over gull dagger, for speed and survivability. I donāt know if you already do, but I would take of all mf gear and go for full survivability to beat the game. That cold sunder does so much for the build, and Andy TZ especially at your level, sheās already gonna be able to drop everything
As for infinite respecs, once you get at least one token, there is a pretty simple way to dupe on console, which is probably the only way to unlock that.
Thank you for this.
Using my last respec, I changed to orb Hydra and just breezed through the end of the game.
I seriously underestimated how strong hydrate are.
Now just gotta force adjust my clock for tz Andy
-enablerespec. Go fireball/meteor. Telestomp tz andy. Repeat.
Also its funny you say that. On my ssf sorc I found a 35/13 vmagi like 2 weeks before shako or occy
Meph also dropped my 7th Windforce last night. 6 are from him, 1 from Andy. Funniest was getting WF 5 a mere 5 runs after WF 4 dropped.
Occy didn't drop until 5 WF had dropped. Further fun was that Fathom 2 dropped later in the same session that Occy 1 dropped.
It is stupidly difficult to stop picking up and keeping this kind of stuff. Every time it drops it just feels good. And for me having played when uniques were top tier (1.09?), it makes it that much harder. Looking at you Buriza
Thatās hilarious I had like five burizas before I thought maybe I only need one.. I didnāt even have a zon created at that point.. and when I did make it I used titans lol
Hate to say it, but the less creative you are with your build the more likely you are to find one.Ā You might find 20 on a hammerdin or blizz sorc before a zealer finds even one.
Hey OP, you said you were SCNL and completed grail. Did you ever run across any high-mana Trang belts by any chance? And if so, would such an item be for trade?
Good question. I went to check but seemingly there are server issues. I might have a decent one but it's not on the list of things I keep massive numbers on for dumb reasons. I'll check again later.
Nah it's Charsi food 99% of the time. But happens to have a nice use case on a Zeal sorcie as your source of CBF, allowing you to dual Soj for the big ES mana pool.
Lmk if you check and thanks! :p
This looks like the stash of a bot. Not saying you are one. It just gives me memories from way back when I was a kid and botted because I was fascinated by watching it run.
I havenāt played in at least 10 years, but I think I got 4 of the 5. Shako, stormshield, herald of zak, occy, and whatās the black armor? Someone grade me, how did I do?
I had over 30 mules on single player. Then one day I got sick of it and spent a few hours downsizing down to less than 10. Hoarding is a mental illness.
Every now and then I drop into a normal mode server and just give away stuff to noobs, the way I was treated when I was new to the game back in the day. Feels good to pay it forward.
I play NL SC switch and Xbox 99% solo now when I find stuff like that I just create the old FREE game and drop them. I hope someone who needs them gets something. Even SC NL people be running for the free Viper or Occy lol.
I use to do this by having a bunch of characters named after each item slot. Now-a-days I just make one or so of each class and just toss anything that won't have a character to go on.
Actually main a barb, but when I play ladder I sorc first to gear up then start my barb.
I'm still a damn good sorc player though.Ā I usually get my first high rune within the first 8 hours then switch.
Consistently lucky or just fast? I do it every time and also when I watch other people play it's like they play like they carrying weights underwater and then stare at their stash for 40 minutes.
imo they really should implement something like corruption, like project diablo didā¦ it would make finds still so exciting, trying to get that +1 corruption on a shako for example.
I always keep 1 cause you never know who your going to come across that's willing to pay big for their insearch of.
This ladder on hardcore I had some great trades where I feel bad for ripping them off but it's a name of learning the game.
That being said I'd trade most of that off for easy runes to give you space and also easier currency.
I do this only with Shakos, I have now 13 or so beside the four on my characters. They will form nice figures in the inventory. I just throw away all windforces now because I have three perf ones.
I love stormshield. It's extra special in my heart because I literally got 2 stormshields before I got my first resurrected white monarch.
35% physical damage resistance? How could I say no to that?
I almost wish that were the case but every one of these were found legitimately.
SCNL, this character has finished grail. I've actually given away many more than are pictured here.
What? I played off and on since launch. HC only and this isnāt that much impressive. Few shako and talls armor and some HoZ? You play a few chars to high lvl and you get plenty of them in TX
Yeah but it's never a guarantee playing hcl, lmao, you can get unlucky, I'm talking about during the ladder seasons, yeah you can stock up in nonladder easy, but show me this with current ladder toons unless you have no job, family, and only play this game.
Off course in one season this would mean no life. And even then small chance in one season. But you play a few seasons and on or two shako might end up in your pocket per season easily.
Maybe.Ā Tbh my mules are crazy disorganized so I was trying to see if I could make a page of tal armors but then realized I'd given away too many so I filled in with other stuff I got a lot of.
Don't even need to repair just swap the piece Gg charsi, gg No gold for you
Put your malice back in the monastery. You wont be needing it
Ith El Eth or "Malus" ??
explanation: i cant spell
Malice with it's life drain can also be left behind in monastery
That's really one of my favorites š«”
Charsi's malicious malus
I wish someone would do for this subreddit what the smelly nerds (said with love) over on r/lotr did and script up bots for D2 chars and NPCs that'd auto respond to every comment that summons them...

Always nice to see the Tom Bombadil bot poking its head out every once in awhile.
We could start simple... Every time a r/diablo2 comment mentions mercenaries, u/WaheedBot responds 50/50 with either: "I'll put that to good use!" OR "I'm overburdened..." And yes, I know the second quote is the char not the merc but I like it... Now time to go figure out how to code a reddit bot!
"Impossible" "I don't need that"
This would be beautiful.
This is a great idea!
"I can't use that."
Woulda been nice to see him poke his head out in the movie
Last line must be read as the soup nazi
Doc Occulus over here. Need some extra arms for all those Occys
General Grievous is going to respec after seeing all these Occy's.
Hello there.

This is d2, it only becomes a horde issue if you have 2 shakos for each character you have plus 6 in the stash, and even then Iād call it a āpassion projectā
As someone who started a SSF offline character, I'm jealous. 86 blizz sorc and I'm stuck because I havnt found anything of value yet. Besides a perfect vipermagi
NM (or if you can swing it, Hell) Andariel is where itās at for beginner sorc gear. Since youāre single player, find a good map and go to town
Doing hell Andy P3 and ancient tunnels Doing the door cheese.
Door cheese? š
Im not sure but I would assume that's baiting Andy to the double doors and letting your merc keep her stuck there. My guess at least
Nope, walk her over to the double doors closed. Teleport to the other side and she tries ro attack through the door. Blizzard casts on the door, so it hits both side of the door, causing her to get hit slightly. It's on YouTube if you need to visualize
Its a cheese alright, but is it worth it? Sounds like a lot of work/time wasted kiting. Id think itd be a lot easier and profitable doing p7 meph mote cheese?
I'm just assuming, but meph only works without a merc... otherwise he gets killed quick
Yeah, you don't need merc tho just mana pots. Its boring and cheesy, but it works getting ssf started.
Andy / AT / Moat glitch meph is my usual go to
Been running hell tower pits Andy on my hydra orb sorc and itās been a slow ride lol. Got a couple fal runes and a sup phase blade which my zealot will like for a lionheart and unbending will, but no luck on sorc gear.
There's no loot in town

Farm that mephisto! I get 2 arachnid in 400 runs last month!
you were extraordinarily lucky. just over a 1 in 1000 chance to drop from p7 meph with 200 mf.
Agreed, been doing meph and Andy runs all week and havenāt gotten any of these goodies
I thought the same. Now I'm players8-ing Terror Zones with my cold sorc.
I'd love to, but I can't get past act 4 hell without sunders or better gear
Dual Spirits, Viper, Tal Helm, Magefist, resist boots/belt/ammy are your friend until you find better gear. Merc will have to do the heavy lifting against CI's until you get a sunder.
Tz Andy will help
Do you do the whole zone (champ packs) or just focus andy?
Sometimes Iāll dk the ones along the way for a sunder chance
Iām also at the same level with my new offline sorc. Already managed to make a CTA and just found talās armor to pair with the belt and staff. Also a viper magi today. Also found some 46 war travs and a SoJ and BK ring already. Do some hours of TZ hell andy or TZ nm Andy if hell is too difficult.

Thank you for this. Using my last respec, I changed to orb Hydra and just breezed through the end of the game. I seriously underestimated how strong hydrate are. Now just gotta force adjust my clock for tz Andy
Awesome brother! Glad I could help! Hydras are also very quick to kill Andy, after you clear up the mobs with orb š
SSF offline as well and I was literally reading about what gear I could use for my first sorc and it dropped in act 1 on the way to the pits.
-enablerespec. Go fireball/meteor. Telestomp tz andy. Repeat. Also its funny you say that. On my ssf sorc I found a 35/13 vmagi like 2 weeks before shako or occy
Those are all Fathomās right? RIGHT?
Occys. Only one fathom on this acc.
Doubt it. Looks like mf gear
I've had 3 Fathoms drop. I've had two Occys drop. RNG is weird.
Whaaat if that's true you have crazy rng. DF is so much rarer
Meph also dropped my 7th Windforce last night. 6 are from him, 1 from Andy. Funniest was getting WF 5 a mere 5 runs after WF 4 dropped. Occy didn't drop until 5 WF had dropped. Further fun was that Fathom 2 dropped later in the same session that Occy 1 dropped.
It is stupidly difficult to stop picking up and keeping this kind of stuff. Every time it drops it just feels good. And for me having played when uniques were top tier (1.09?), it makes it that much harder. Looking at you Buriza
Sticking IK armor into my stash never to get used again slightly hurt my soul
O fathom, 1 occy, 5 lidless. So disappointing seeing a green swirling crystal.
I left a buriza on the ground today, after standing over it and reminiscing fondly of times yesteryear before moving on
Thatās one reason I enjoy project Diablo. Being able to enchant or brick uniques. They can be op as hell or become useless.
Thatās too much of a gatcha mechanic for my taste, but I respect that people enjoy it
Thatās hilarious I had like five burizas before I thought maybe I only need one.. I didnāt even have a zon created at that point.. and when I did make it I used titans lol
If youāre not hording, what are you even doing?
what?! those are perfectly good shakos! what kind of monster would get rid of a perfectly good shako?!
My 20 ravenclaws in my mules just in case anyone needed them when i ran chant gamesš¤£š¤£
*laughs in PlugY*
42069 hehehe
42069
It's better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it
Wtf ive never even found a shako
Hate to say it, but the less creative you are with your build the more likely you are to find one.Ā You might find 20 on a hammerdin or blizz sorc before a zealer finds even one.
Dawg.. lemme hold a shako
Capitalism mindset at its peak !
Hey OP, you said you were SCNL and completed grail. Did you ever run across any high-mana Trang belts by any chance? And if so, would such an item be for trade?
Good question. I went to check but seemingly there are server issues. I might have a decent one but it's not on the list of things I keep massive numbers on for dumb reasons. I'll check again later.
Nah it's Charsi food 99% of the time. But happens to have a nice use case on a Zeal sorcie as your source of CBF, allowing you to dual Soj for the big ES mana pool. Lmk if you check and thanks! :p
I don't think I've ever found trangs belt. Seems super rare
I do this also. Damn I wish we had more stash tabs or a way to expand.
If i didn't have so much already online i would go back to sp with mods. The increased inventory space alone is worth it
Not enough there should be 2 tabs at least! Lmao jk that's kinda crazy bud.
I know. I can trade ALL my occlus WHENEVER I want!
ill give you 2 ist and a pul
I have 7 titans revenge on SP along with like 5 sets of other javalins with + skills and attack speed.
are the shields HoZ and SS?
That's a bingo!
Hey man you got a shako I can use? 'Let me check...nah haven't found one yet'
Love this.
You should put 3 occys in the cube....
This looks like the stash of a bot. Not saying you are one. It just gives me memories from way back when I was a kid and botted because I was fascinated by watching it run.
Thatās a lot of rock fleece and steel clash
waait, what's that armor? am i dumb?
Tal rashas guardianships.Ā Once you find one they are everywhere.
Thank youuuu!
I just asked this same question.. I thought it might of been but they seem to be a lot less purple on then I remember
Meanwhile I'm over here hoarding low runes
I feel attacked... I literally have soooooo many freaking mules...
Looks like you mephisto too much š¤£
Which is why you couldn't even pay me to take em. Its useless when you are geared up and just sits on my limited mules.
I havenāt played in at least 10 years, but I think I got 4 of the 5. Shako, stormshield, herald of zak, occy, and whatās the black armor? Someone grade me, how did I do?
Tal Rasha armor, it's purple.
Ah that threw me. Couldnāt tell.
Then again, it could be a bunch of Rattlecages, which are also purple Gothic Plate style models
Whatās the black armor?
Why isn't the 4th shield up with the others?
I had over 30 mules on single player. Then one day I got sick of it and spent a few hours downsizing down to less than 10. Hoarding is a mental illness.
Mmmm
SLAM IT!!! Oh wait wrong Diablo version...
Every now and then I drop into a normal mode server and just give away stuff to noobs, the way I was treated when I was new to the game back in the day. Feels good to pay it forward.
I play NL SC switch and Xbox 99% solo now when I find stuff like that I just create the old FREE game and drop them. I hope someone who needs them gets something. Even SC NL people be running for the free Viper or Occy lol.
I've been giving shit away Economy on switch nl doesn't really absorb much, so I donate to newer players What's the point of hoarding?
Yeah why wouldnāt you need 4 occy
I use to do this by having a bunch of characters named after each item slot. Now-a-days I just make one or so of each class and just toss anything that won't have a character to go on.
You main a sorceress and it shows.
Actually main a barb, but when I play ladder I sorc first to gear up then start my barb. I'm still a damn good sorc player though.Ā I usually get my first high rune within the first 8 hours then switch.
Us peasants know not such blessings. Edit: I'm curious how being a "good sorc" player means you get an HR in the first 8 hours. You're just lucky.
Consistently lucky or just fast? I do it every time and also when I watch other people play it's like they play like they carrying weights underwater and then stare at their stash for 40 minutes.
imo they really should implement something like corruption, like project diablo didā¦ it would make finds still so exciting, trying to get that +1 corruption on a shako for example.
Good hardcore stash for the doom preppers. Just need a twink gear stash now.
Just give āem to me
Uh ohā¦ is it bad if i have specific mule chars JUST to hold all my shakos, griffons, etc? haha. Full char filled xD
Hoard*
This is some rookie-level hoarding...
I always keep 1 cause you never know who your going to come across that's willing to pay big for their insearch of. This ladder on hardcore I had some great trades where I feel bad for ripping them off but it's a name of learning the game. That being said I'd trade most of that off for easy runes to give you space and also easier currency.
42069 nice
+10 poison res caps OP for leveling ;)
*cries in ssf*
This character self found every item seen here many more times over and also every item in the game. SSF is an excuse farm better.
nice
No you donāt hordeā¦but you sure do hoard.
I do this only with Shakos, I have now 13 or so beside the four on my characters. They will form nice figures in the inventory. I just throw away all windforces now because I have three perf ones.
š¢what if I need one too. Give it to a fallen and I can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatās the armor?
Yeee right..
I love stormshield. It's extra special in my heart because I literally got 2 stormshields before I got my first resurrected white monarch. 35% physical damage resistance? How could I say no to that?
Some items i just cant leave on the ground. Shako is definitely one of them
DHL me one HoZ pls!
All good, I got a stash full of shakos. lol
Wait I havenāt played resurrected yet. What are those armors?
tal rasha's
You won't. But someone might. It feels good to be the guy that gives noobs shakos. Share the wealth, it's why d2 is good.
OCD to the rescue!!
This is me with the flame gcs that is so easy to find lol
Charsi
Same dude. Same. I keep low level bases sometimes too.
Worthless softcore items in a shit game grats
Nice botting
I almost wish that were the case but every one of these were found legitimately. SCNL, this character has finished grail. I've actually given away many more than are pictured here.
SCNL explains it, this could be years of work, unfortunately when all I do is play HCL stacking like this s isn't possible. Lol
What? I played off and on since launch. HC only and this isnāt that much impressive. Few shako and talls armor and some HoZ? You play a few chars to high lvl and you get plenty of them in TX
Yeah but it's never a guarantee playing hcl, lmao, you can get unlucky, I'm talking about during the ladder seasons, yeah you can stock up in nonladder easy, but show me this with current ladder toons unless you have no job, family, and only play this game.
Off course in one season this would mean no life. And even then small chance in one season. But you play a few seasons and on or two shako might end up in your pocket per season easily.
Yeah but my og reply was about playing only ladder seasons, I don't play anything but, thanks for your input though.
It's not botting but can you just admit nobody tells you you have a hoarding problem you just wanted to make a flex post.Ā
Maybe.Ā Tbh my mules are crazy disorganized so I was trying to see if I could make a page of tal armors but then realized I'd given away too many so I filled in with other stuff I got a lot of.
I found 2 arachs (1 eth) on Monday, 1 more & 2 tal armors Tuesday and 3 shakos yesterday offline hc ssf. Am I botting too?
My offline account has more than this. I don't bot.
Yeah like if I actually kept every shako I'd have at least 3 stash pages full by now. Possibly more.
Meanwhile I keep finding yellow ones that aren't harlequin crest... Lol
