Awkward Drops - The Regrettable Golden Quality Shoes in D2R

Jan-19-2024

 

The long-term equipment farming in D2R is always accompanied by loneliness and surprises. Players with ability will choose various scenes in Hell difficulty to farm equipment and runes. This time, the luck is a little better than before, dropping a 24th rune and several unique items, in addition, I also accidentally picked up a good golden quality shoes.

 

They are respectively unidentified uniques longbow, sea demon shell armor, iron gloves, and the shoes were identified as having preservation value. As usual, they were left until the end to find Cain for identification together. As long as the current difficulty has completed the task of rescuing Cain, it is free to ask him to identify items.

 

 

 

The uniques longbow is what players often call the bird bow "Raven Claw", its minimum level of use is 15, at the same time because it has a fire explosion attack effect, it is often used as one of the equipment for "strengthening upgrade" of small accounts. After being strengthened by the "Fire Enhancement" skill of a fire mage, a 15-level small account can easily group brush up in normal difficulty when using this weapon. This bow is temporarily placed in the warehouse for future use by newcomers.

 

The strength requirement of Kraken Shell is very high. Although it has a maximum of 25% physical damage reduction after identification, its practical use is not great. As a mercenary clothes, it is not as good as some runewords with higher cost performance. If you really want to make use of its value, you can give it to barbarian who specialize in taking hits, the unbreakable attribute can save them a lot of maintenance costs.

 

 

 

The uniques iron gloves can drop in normal difficulty after identification, called "Frost Burn". The only highlight attribute is to increase the mana limit by 40%, which is very useful for sorceress who lack blue in the early stage or in non-expansion packs. In the later stage, it basically has no use value, compared with "Mage's Fist" it lacks a more universal fast casting and +1 fire skill. After this identification, if it's not a top-tier property, there's no need to keep it, just throw it to the store directly.

 

 

 

Sometimes golden quality equipment in D2R can have attributes not weaker than uniques, worth paying attention to golden quality equipment includes weapons, head rings, necklaces, rings, gloves, and shoes. The reason this shoe attracts attention is that it has three resistance attributes and the total resistance is higher than 100. The disadvantage is that the high-speed walking/running attribute is not 30%, for now, leave it to gameplay that does not rely on running with teleport skills, such as electric sorceress or necromancer.
