and then came the good patch :)

Some interesting drops since I last posted (when are they not interesting anyway!)
And since there have been MANY drops since the last time, this post will be longer than usual :)
Apart from the screenshots below, one of Pindle's homies also dropped a Stoneraven, unique Matriarchal Spear. Nice weapon with +3 to skills. Unfortunately the screenprint didn't come off :(
And then Pindle also dropped Marrow Walk, unique Boneweave Boots. Keeping with a lot of my finds, they spawned ethereal :(

Let's start off with the rares and then with the good stuff -


Here Pindle dropped another one of those rare Vortex Shields!


And here he drops a rare War Pike!
When you only see a war pike drop like once every 200 games, when it spawns yellow, it drives you mad!


And yet another rare legendary mallet. Oh how I long for a Shaeffer's!


Here is my second Sazabi's Ghost Liberator, set Balrog skin. I sold this one because I couldn't be bothered to carry it around or to trade it.


Here's Jalal's mane - a nice helm for a shapeshifting druid. This is my second one, so I might go and create a bear and a wolf :)


Here's Andariel's Visage, a unique Demonhead. With +2 skills, big strength boost and 9% life leech, this will be a nice helm for my bow amazon.


Here one of Pindle's gardeners drops a very rare armour - Aldur's Deception, set Shadow Plate. Unfortunately it's not a great armour and Aldur's is not a great set.


Here's M'Avina's true sight, set Diadem. Nice helm. In my opinion, a nice set as well. This time around, I'm missing the 3 parts of the set which I had found 3 times over the last time - the Kraken Shell, the gloves and the belt.


And Pindle drops my second Tal Rasha's Guardianship, set Lacquered Plate. Nice one Pindle!!


And Pindle drops a Thunderstroke, unique Matriarchal Javelin. A nice weapon, I'll use this one on my Javazon. This one spawned with +3 to skills (can go as high as +4).


A grey Vortex Shield... turned out to be 4 socketed and +43 to all resists. Great shield!! If only I had the runes to put the Exile runeword into it :) But then I might always put in a Spirit runeword... quite inexpensive and great mods for a spell caster!
This shield is very rare and a good find!


Mephisto finally drops something nice, a unique Jewel. This Rainbow Facet jewel turned out to be a fire jewel with chance to cast a blaze when you level up. Nice stats too - +5% fire skill damage, -4% enemy fire resistance.


Pindle dropped a Reaper's Toll - unique Thresher. A much less rare but much better find than the Stormspire, Giant Thresher!


Hallelujah! It's a Death Cleaver! Nice unique berserker axe. This one spawned ethereal with 240% ED. Ethereal Death Cleavers are very expensive, and will be of use to people with Zod runes (I'm not one of them unfortunately!) So I could trade this one for some high runes. But I'm also not a fan of giving away hard found items for duped runes!


And now - a true biggie... the Grandfather, unique Colossus Blade. Very nice find! This one got 154% ED (can go as high as 250%), so not the best Grandfather, but still great, as it's the first one I ever found!


To end this post on a light note, I found an interestingly named unique monster - check out the name highlighted on the corpse! Unfortunately my merc and skellies killed it before I could screenprint it alive! It was one of those wraith type monsters.
