seriously D3 is garbage and the way they've been completely remaking the game since it came out is proof enough of that. Unfortunately they failed to make it any more enjoyable even after basically changing it so much that we could call it diablo 4. I gave it like 100 hours when it just came out and then dropped it. One of my friends tried to get me to play again not too long ago. Showed me what it looked like now. Did some special run level. It lasted something like 15 minutes. During that time he went from lvl 121 to like 132 and found about 5 or 6 set items. I asked him how long he'd been playing with that hero to be so high level and he told me he'd started it about 9 hours ago. lol... let's just say that was a miss.
yes , it make everyone disappointed for those D2 items become junk , Schaefer's Hammer became 2 hands , Doombringer just change to 1 hand with no bonus , Barbarian the most important is wield 2 two hand weapons , gone .... every time I hope the new patch can respect those D2 items
Believe it or not but the grandfather is a 1 handed katana in diablo 1 so d2 staff fucked up and made it 2 handed I would always run grandfather and storm shield in diablo 1 on warrior and wind force on my rogue.
GTA? I hope you're fucking joking and kids don't actually think any GTA game is even close to one of the best games ever made. Red Dead Redemption on the other hand absolutely could be considered to be one... They never get the game world, the story, or the game play right with GTA games. These games almost never get everything just right. They become good games for a couple short years rather than games with the potential for so much more. All this stupid Multi-player shit they go for these days just absolutely ruins any chance for a game both with Story, Game play, and a world that allows you to immerse yourself within the game itself. There are tons of great multiplayer games that are made to be great multiplayer games. It's fucking stupid to waste so many resources trying to give the mainstream morons some shitty ass multiplayer mode that offers absolutely nothing new, or any longevity whatsoever past a few years. Practically every game made now feels like it is made to be the flashiest short lived fucking meme fest shit show that gets teenagers and adult children jizzing in there pants and all over everyone, and everything else until the next big shitty game comes out, and they completely abandon everything they've ever done or known for the next big flashy circle jerk shit show for their shitty console system games that they've spend half their check on every week. What are you morons posting on a Diablo 2 video for? Get out of here! just fuck right off douchebags!
San Andreas is much bigger game than Diablo. It's not even competition. I like Diablo 2 too, but SA is just way more complex project. Even though I prefer Diablo over Vice city and GTA 3. Diablo has many less mechanics. It doesn't have physics and it's pretty much 2d game. Not to mention GTA4 or GTA5 which are way ahead of Diablo, but came much later than Diablo to even be comparable. Even though I didn't like GTA4 and GTA5 because of cover system. I hate games with cover systems.
Agreed. I was unbelievably hyped for Diablo 3 when it came out, to discover no Ladder system or PvP by the time I'd reached cap, and instead we get presented with 'paragon levels' - Smh.
It was in times of quality over quantity. Now games are made only for money. And that means nobody cares about depth and producers won't let the programmers do silly stuff. No more Morrowind's 2 mile-jumps, no "you don't have to go there, you can go where you want, good luck". The maps are now cages, can't go out, can't choose another rout... Well, some games provide SOME freedom like Dishonored... But I guess I consider Dishonored new and kids today think it's ancient. Oh well, I'm old. I'm playing GTA SA now. ^__^
I was 14/15 years old or something when i played Diablo 2 at my friends house because i had no computer. This game was so mystic and full of secrets for me. One of the best games ever.
I found my first ever Griffon's Eye today - only took 17 years. I've been running the Ancient Tunnels on single player for weeks and it finally dropped. I'm still going for the Grail.
AndyG I just need the lvl 86 barb helm that is garbage compared to lvl 42arreats, and tyreals. I had two sacred armors drop in day but they were both ethereal, so clearly Templar’s
@@@MAarshall A few items in the game like Tyrael's Might that are indestructable comes naturally as nonethereal and can't be ethereal at all. The other items that has are like that are Schaeffer's Hammer, The Cranium Basher, Crown of Ages, The Grandfather and Stormshield. So when you drop a unique Legendary Mallet, Thunder Maul or Sacred Armor and it is ethereal, you know it's gonna be Stone Crusher, Earth Shifter and Templars Might respectivally.
I'm pretty sure that I got the Windforce bow once and I've played this game for several years. Man... Your video made me to install the game once more :)
farming pindleskin woulda got you some of these items,not often but they surely would of dropped for you at some point,i think i found about 30 windforces back in my time over the course of 10 or 12 years..once runewords came out it kinda ruined the game for me since i mained a necromancer and there was nothing like bone prisoning a scared player into my bone spirits and spears
asoka tano... fully agree with you mate. They could at least give each of these items 1% chance of dropping and even then it would be EXTREMELY rare, but 0.00002%? Really? Not even my grandkids will get a chance of finding that item, so indeed, what's the point of having these items if you never get the chance to use them??
I have found all the items above several times. So yes its low chances to find it. But if you kill enough monsters and play several years you will find. Also you value stuff more and don't get bored same way as today. Like the helmet I found for sure 7 times and tyreals might 3-4 times. What I try say is its not impossible find if you into the game. But if you play total 100 hours then sure, you won't find anything.
lafiealanarchy.... you're forgetting one CRUCIAL detail mate: not everyone is as lucky as you. On the contrary: really lucky people on this planet are more rare than even those items that are dropping once in a blue moon
+lafielanarchy.... 10.000 hours to find an armor with 0.00002% drop chance means that your chances of finding that armor have actually been 0.2% during those 10.000 hours of playing... and you've found it 3-4 times. Yeah... you're not lucky AT ALL! :)
Man you’re bringing back the feels. Loved D1, but man D2 was an amazing experience. I even still have the dvd with all of the cut scenes. Loved the vid
Xtimus www.yesgamers.com/info/top10-rare-unique-items-in-diablo-2/ This site took your video and ripped it off. Made a list WORD FOR WORD with what you said, not just the list order.
Interestingly, in my 17 years of playing Diablo 2 (yes, I've played since 2000, I was 11 y/o back then), both ONline and OFFline, I *have* had some of these items here drop, but I've *NEVER* had a SoJ, nor even seen it!! And it's not even in these top 10 of items. Weird, huh?
That's actually insane, because SoJ is pretty common compared to the rarer uniques. For your info, the best chance to drop a SoJ is surprisingly in Nightmare difficulty from the Andariel's quest drop with a 1 in 3813 chances. For comparison, the best chance BY FAR to drop a Tyrael's Might is from Hell Baal's quest drop, with a 1 in 274,281 chances. If we exclude quest drops, the odds drop to 1 in 414,860 from Hell Baal.
DarkLeviathan8 ive never got an soj either.... im talking thousands of hours in this game. I got a zod, tyreals and windforce but never once an soj.....
That`s variance, I think. I for instance have found 3 SoJs (2 Single Player, one online back in 1.09), but I have never actually found a, say, Magefist. Crazy, I know.
If you go through the item database in the game, the list looks a bit different. Rarest first, the list is: Tyrael's Might, Stormlash, Death's Web, Astreon's Iron Ward, Mang Song's Lesson, Schaefer's Hammer, Heaven's Light, The Redeemer, Darkforce Spawn, Earth Shifter.
Great video, man! Sank right in to those memories of "Grinding with your friends simulator"! :D On the side note, I'd like to mention, that Griffon's Eye and Tyrael's might have never dropped for me. EVER. No matter how much MF and grinding I had/did. I guess I'm happy to say, that I did manage to somehow get each of every OTHER item in the list. Funny thing is, I recently started playing again, and after a couple of hundred runs I got the Wisp Projector. Not sure, though, if it's still that rare of a find.
Uristenzor - Nagyerdei Korisok windforce was one of the best items before runewords. It went for a ton of sojs. Grandfather sword too. Try path of diablo mod. Its great and the rare unique items are very strong
You're right about that, I think my highest jewel was 38%. Of course, finding perfect items was never easy, but I still have to say that Windforce was the hardest item to find previous to the 2003 patch.
Mike Wu the rarest item you'll ever find a crazy rares with gz affixes and suffixes that you think of in your mind an think your character would be awesome if you got it.
Items I've had over time approximated: Shadow Dancers 10, Windforce 4, Death's Fathom 3, Occulus 6, Griffon's Eye 6, Grandfather's 3, Crown of Ages 4, Cranium Basher 10, Tyrael's Might 4. I think that most of the item's I got were dupes given to me because I often used to rush players. I honestly used to throw away Shadow Dancer's and Cranium Bashers. I was never a particularly great Diablo 2 player, but I used to play a lot (having 4 mule accounts at one point). At various points in Diablo 2 history there were a lot of illegitimate items being copied and traded. At one time I was struggling to get one Stone of Jordan. At other times people were giving away Grandfather Swords and Occuluses for free.
man, you mean tyraels might or templar's might? it is difference like hell...most of diablo players even did not see it, don't know anyone who drop it or use it. 2x (at least!) tyrael's might?! i think you are confused...
+jan novák I've manually looted everything about 5-30times and coa twice I have over ten CD keys I d2nt bot. there I looted everything about a hundred times. and if you jsp I sold a bunch of shit for 1-60k fgs which is equivalent to up to 30,000 stone of Jordan or high runes per item
After beating Hell on several characters and doing like a 100 Mephi-runs I still didn't have a single SoJ. And one had to sell a ton of them to summon Uber Diablo. I dunno how did people do that... Playing D2 for months after completing it?
Congrats on the channel! Its great to see that d2 can still bring in views almost 20 years later! Im also starting my own channel very soon and hope we can network and both bring in new viewers!
All I wanted Diablo 3 to be was an amped up.. better graphics version of diablo 2 of course... with a different story but now everything in Diablo 3 has like +5000% to this... +3000% to that and I'm sorry but with high numbers like that and modifiers upon modifiers... it becomes a chore to me to play and thus why I quit. Make the game simple and try not to have us be a mathematician in order to play it.
D2 is far from simple. In fact the D2 mechanics are far more intricate than those of D3. I agree +5000% to this and that is lame. That doesn't make the game complex though.
You never made it to even Nightmare difficulty in D2 if you think it's simple. Maybe you're forgetting that a D2 build wasn't just about gear. To put it simply Diablo 2 was more of a rpg where as D3 is more of an arpg.
@@Halilbel exactly...I remember having a pad of paper next to me so I could see if I had hit the fcr max on my chars and to see if I had hit ias wall on my melee ones..plus calculating mf,keeping track of runes at first,and a list of runewords I wanted.its a game I wanted to do homework on lol,not just play
Found everything ecept WF, GF and Tyraels. I found the cranium basher multible times, but allways salvaged that shit. Its after 1.09. btw. 1.09 was the best patch.
Very nice movie. I am glad I discovered your D2 videos. Bring back really a lot of memories. I never found anything from the list :-) I was so happy to find Shako :D
I played Diablo 1 and 2, both from launch. Anyway, all of the items you mentioned being the most rare were really not all that rare, myself and my friends found those items all the time and would normally just leave them on the ground. The Windforce was rarest item to find. Tens of thousands of magic find runs and finding a windforce was next to impossible. Of course we all played constantly up until 2003, so your idea of rare might likely be so but previous to 2003 the Windforce was the most prized legitimate game weapon.
Why would I keep something that I already found and was common to find? It is Crown of Ages by the way, not Aeons. That doesn't even exist in the game.
Great vid. I love how D2 has always kept it's best items almost impossible to find, making them feel truly unique in the best sense of the word. The only reason people actually found these enigmatic items is that the game is so well-made that thousands and thousands of people wanted to play it, thus making it possible for some lucky bastards out there to get a hold of them. Blizzard should be MUCH bigger risk takers in the future as they were with D2.
i remember early in the 2000's maybe 2003 -2005 i got life insurance money from my dad passing and i was playing d2 so much. i bought so many items from d2 shops. i had grandfathers, enigmas, hoz's all the best gear and i spent hundreds of dollars on it. d2 item shops loved me lol
I found all this shit like a hundred times over. You know what I still have never found, in like 15 years of diablo 2? THE REAL rarist items in diablo 2... a Blue 40 % magic find ring AND a blue 50% magic find amulet.
you did not find these 100 times over. unless you were botting which is possible. But i would be willing to bet literally everything i own and will ever own on the fact you didn't get all these items 100+ times without bots
No. I am just 100% sure you did not find these items 100+ times each without bots. Just don't like when people lie is all, and out of all the liars in this comment section you have the most out outrageous claim that i had to reply
I once found a unique bow in the first Diablo and I've NEVER been able to find any information on it on any diablo sites and I mean that quite literally.
I think Schaefer's hammer & Arkaines Valor should be somewhere in between the mix of these items. But yeah Ive looted all of these besides Deaths fathom (which Ive always wanted to find being one of my fav items) CoA was from an elite Regurgitator in the River of flame. Griff was a random knight in Throne room. Tyrials might was dropped by Pindleskin
I can't say I know much about Diablo 3. I bought it when it first came out and I quit after they patched the game when they nerfed everything and my items went from godly to worthless.
I found a high roll Crown of Ages when running the Monster's Den outside of the Rogue Encampment on Hell difficulty. Someone once told me that caves had higher drop rates, so I did what was easiest to MF while gearing. I consulted a friend on its value and he said "Dude, that stat roll is worth a Zod rune." I think it was a +15% DR and +29 Resist All 2 socket. I made my first Breath of the Dying on an ethereal Colossus Sword I was saving after the trade. My WW Barb never died again.
Found a windforce like a year ago, no real ingame value, but nostalgia made it priceless to me. Goes without saying, I instant created a bowazon to go with it.
I feel so proud every time I watch this video. The first time I watched it, which was like 4 months ago, I never thought in a million years I was gonna find any of those items. Now I have 5/10. Keep it up Xtimus!
Started playing in 1.08... 1.09 was the best Diablo 2 ever was ever will be , I sure miss it , you had such a huge range of how to make your class it truly was fun and not so gear dependent , in 1.10 and beyond you where stuck with cookie cutter builds and gear / skill charm dependent or you would not be able to kill a damn thing .
I only found Shadow Dancers (had no clue it was rare), Death's Fathom and Grandfather (way past the point it was valuable) and i played on and off for 10 years. Didn't even know Mang Song's Lesson even existed lol.
Ironically, the only one of these I ever found was Tyrael's Might, and that was the first and only unique Sacred Armor that ever dropped for me. I was active on a forum of D2 players who played Singleplayer, and I'd heard so many horror stories about people who had found 20+ Templar's Mights, and still hadn't found a single Tyrael's. Years later, now that I no longer play, it's exciting that I was able to find a Tyrael's. But at the time, when I foolishly thought I would eventually get everything if I just kept playing, I remember thinking, "Yeah, okay, this is great... But couldn't this have been a more useful item instead?!?"
I dropped my first windforce, mang song's lesson, and cranium basher all in the span of the past two weeks. I didn't even know cranium basher was that rare until this video.
These videos bring up so much nostalgia.. makes me want to pick it up again. I have seen them all drop for me personally - but we are talking playing d2 for years upon years, since the release to maybe a few years ago. And pretty much every.. single.. day..
I've gotten a Windforce, Griffon's Eye, and Grandfather. I used to use Doombringer on my barb back in the day until I found a Grandfather, incidentally.
I found a Cranium basher on my nec on my way to the ancients in singleplayer today. cool that its one of the top rarest items :) and I have yet to beat hell baal lol. Nice video btw!
I had an Ethereal Natalya's Claw that somebody had socketed with a Zod rune back in the day. I had a lot of Ith helmet, Buriza armor etc which enabled me to just get the best items in the game. Those were the worst days for D2 when the hacked items were all around but it was my golden age. My Ama with WF and Buri Armor basically just shat on everything.
I've played D2 off and on since it's release and have only found 10 and 6. I remember finding a perfect pair of Shadow Dancers from the first monster that I killed outside of pandemonium on my way to Izzy once. I gave them away for free when I decided to quit for the 100th time.
so i've gotten 3 of the items you've called out. i got a windforce, a grandfather and a death's fathom. ironically the death's fathom was an annoyance because i wanted the occulus and couldn't get it to drop for my MF sorceress for FOREVER lol
Never found a Windforce or Tyrael's Might. Come to think of it, I dont think I ever found a Crown of Ages either. I remember one time running the Pit, after all the chaos was over in the second level, there was three yellow Hydra bows laying there. Oh the possibilities if one of them had rolled unique man!
Ahh so many memories, so much time spent joining baal runs and hostiling everyone then waiting in a corner to try to kill bot before they used chicken.
I don't play multiplayer only single player. I found The Crown of Ages once back when I was a bit addicted to playing Diablo II LOD and played it on and off and once for 3-5 hours every day for about 3 months straight on single player and ended up with over a level 86 Druid. I no longer have the save files though. I also found The Cranium Basher when I had a high level Barbarian and was on Act V of hell mode before the save file corrupted. I have found a quite a few rare unique items on single player, not as rare as some of these and despite that, I have yet to find a Stone of Jordan.
In about 13 years of play, I've found one Tyrael (Ancient Tunnels), one Fathom (Durance lvl 2), one COA (Chaos), one WISP (Trav), one Shadow Dancer (Worldstone lvl 2).
Nice video. The last patch I really played was 1.09, after that, real life took up most of my time. Never heard of several of those items, I am guessing they came in with 1.10 or later? I had a Windforce on v1.08 or v1.07, I dont remember anymore.
Damn.. D2 was THE game that got me into PC gaming...The hundreds of thousands of MF run's I made on my sorc/barbs, I can say the only item listed here that I have never found is Wisp Projector. I'll never forget my 1.08 Windforce; And off the legit train; those Blood Whorls, "White" items, Hex charms. lmao. Glad Diablo 2 is fairly clean these days.
Diablo 2 for the win! I started playing single player around 2 years ago and so far, from this list, I've found; Griffons Eye Windforce Wisp Projector Crown of Ages (1 socket) :( Some other rare items i've found: Jmod SoJ Deaths Web 45all res Sacred Targe. 5/-5 Lightning Rainbow Facet But I've still not found an Arachnid Mesh! Edit: Subbed and hoping for more d2 content
meanwhile in D3 "jesus another tyrael's might, fuck me where are all the set items?" #salvage
Tuấn Đặng lol, so true, Tyrael's mights and SoJs are dropping like 5-6 times each every day, D3 is such a trash.
seriously D3 is garbage and the way they've been completely remaking the game since it came out is proof enough of that. Unfortunately they failed to make it any more enjoyable even after basically changing it so much that we could call it diablo 4. I gave it like 100 hours when it just came out and then dropped it.
One of my friends tried to get me to play again not too long ago. Showed me what it looked like now. Did some special run level. It lasted something like 15 minutes. During that time he went from lvl 121 to like 132 and found about 5 or 6 set items.
I asked him how long he'd been playing with that hero to be so high level and he told me he'd started it about 9 hours ago. lol...
let's just say that was a miss.
Funny how Windforce, GF and Tyrael's (along with other D2 uniques) are all useless items in D3. The new team didn't respect these items at all. XD
sad but true they didnt show any respect at all
yes , it make everyone disappointed for those D2 items become junk , Schaefer's Hammer became 2 hands , Doombringer just change to 1 hand with no bonus , Barbarian the most important is wield 2 two hand weapons , gone .... every time I hope the new patch can respect those D2 items
They could have just not put these items in the game at all instead of making them weak like this.
D3 team was literal shit
Believe it or not but the grandfather is a 1 handed katana in diablo 1 so d2 staff fucked up and made it 2 handed I would always run grandfather and storm shield in diablo 1 on warrior and wind force on my rogue.
The absolute best game ever made. Period.
Brandon Quigley
It's my favorite aside from Morrowind

Best RPG yes. Can't compete with giants like GTA.

Agreed. I was unbelievably hyped for Diablo 3 when it came out, to discover no Ladder system or PvP by the time I'd reached cap, and instead we get presented with 'paragon levels' - Smh.
well you kinda have paragon levels in D2... its the leveling to 99 :)
It was in times of quality over quantity. Now games are made only for money. And that means nobody cares about depth and producers won't let the programmers do silly stuff.

For your info, the best chance to drop a SoJ is surprisingly in Nightmare difficulty from the Andariel's quest drop with a 1 in 3813 chances.
For comparison, the best chance BY FAR to drop a Tyrael's Might is from Hell Baal's quest drop, with a 1 in 274,281 chances. If we exclude quest drops, the odds drop to 1 in 414,860 from Hell Baal.
I know, it's very weird. Is SoJ a Bnet-only item, or something? Because I've mostly played Single Player with plugy.
Nope, you can drop everything in Singleplayer, even ladder-only items. There's no such thing as Bnet-only item as far as I remember.
DarkLeviathan8 ive never got an soj either.... im talking thousands of hours in this game. I got a zod, tyreals and windforce but never once an soj.....
That`s variance, I think. I for instance have found 3 SoJs (2 Single Player, one online back in 1.09), but I have never actually found a, say, Magefist. Crazy, I know.
If you go through the item database in the game, the list looks a bit different. Rarest first, the list is:
Tyrael's Might, Stormlash, Death's Web, Astreon's Iron Ward, Mang Song's Lesson, Schaefer's Hammer, Heaven's Light, The Redeemer, Darkforce Spawn, Earth Shifter.
nice one m8. i just came back to diablo II after 10 years after your films. thx m8
Thank you for the Video it brings back lots of good memories.
after watching those videos, i started playing D2 again, and found windforce on the first day
uniques are all easy enough to find the actually valuable items are perfect runewords and elite rares.
I remember finding The Grandfather once. I thought it wasn't that rare, until I saw it in this list. It dropped for me in Throne of Destruction.
I found a 209% Grandfather doing a cowrun with my MF sorceress. One of the most memorable days of my life XD.
i found i health potion
I found health potions
pic or fake
I'll never forget finding Tal Rasha amulet from Mephisto in Normal difficulty.
Great video, man! Sank right in to those memories of "Grinding with your friends simulator"! :D
On the side note, I'd like to mention, that Griffon's Eye and Tyrael's might have never dropped for me. EVER. No matter how much MF and grinding I had/did. I guess I'm happy to say, that I did manage to somehow get each of every OTHER item in the list.
Funny thing is, I recently started playing again, and after a couple of hundred runs I got the Wisp Projector. Not sure, though, if it's still that rare of a find.
just got a windforce drop, damn memories...
Uristenzor - Nagyerdei Korisok windforce was one of the best items before runewords. It went for a ton of sojs. Grandfather sword too. Try path of diablo mod. Its great and the rare unique items are very strong
amazing channel and content! love Diablo 2! I even might install it soon xD getting hyped after all vids xP
Thanks! Love hearing stuff like that!
The rarest item to ever drop is the 40 15ias jewel.
You're right about that, I think my highest jewel was 38%. Of course, finding perfect items was never easy, but I still have to say that Windforce was the hardest item to find previous to the 2003 patch.
Mike Wu the rarest item you'll ever find a crazy rares with gz affixes and suffixes that you think of in your mind an think your character would be awesome if you got it.
back 1.11 they worth 40 soj each
found a single one, and god did i let the buyer rip me off
Zod rune :)
Items I've had over time approximated: Shadow Dancers 10, Windforce 4, Death's Fathom 3, Occulus 6, Griffon's Eye 6, Grandfather's 3, Crown of Ages 4, Cranium Basher 10, Tyrael's Might 4. I think that most of the item's I got were dupes given to me because I often used to rush players. I honestly used to throw away Shadow Dancer's and Cranium Bashers. I was never a particularly great Diablo 2 player, but I used to play a lot (having 4 mule accounts at one point). At various points in Diablo 2 history there were a lot of illegitimate items being copied and traded. At one time I was struggling to get one Stone of Jordan. At other times people were giving away Grandfather Swords and Occuluses for free.
Lol found everything listed at least 2 times. Shows I had no life
lolz almost me too, ive done a lot of farming in my days of HC Ladder EU.
man, you mean tyraels might or templar's might? it is difference like hell...most of diablo players even did not see it, don't know anyone who drop it or use it. 2x (at least!) tyrael's might?! i think you are confused...
+jan novák I've manually looted everything about 5-30times and coa twice
I have over ten CD keys I d2nt bot.
there I looted everything about a hundred times.
and if you jsp I sold a bunch of shit for 1-60k fgs which is equivalent to up to 30,000 stone of Jordan or high runes per item
That's not even an achievement if you botted the whole thing.
+Mathias Justesen learn to read
isnt astreons and deaths web on the top 10 ?
Missing Fathom, Griffons , Windforce and Mangsong of ur list :(
i think i had the grandfather at some point
and it was also a sword in D1.
After beating Hell on several characters and doing like a 100 Mephi-runs I still didn't have a single SoJ. And one had to sell a ton of them to summon Uber Diablo. I dunno how did people do that... Playing D2 for months after completing it?
not alone the only fuckin ring i could drop was manald heal... every fuckin time
Mallory SF they do it with auto farming bots playing for weeks.
jonukaz1
Which is pointless considering you can get a crack for any items
Congrats on the channel! Its great to see that d2 can still bring in views almost 20 years later! Im also starting my own channel very soon and hope we can network and both bring in new viewers!
Man this takes me back. I had 6 of these 10 when I quit playing.
what up y'all, it's 2016 and I have all of these items equipped IRL
LARPing? LMAO jk jk. Had to be a smartass cause of the IRL at the end.
All I wanted Diablo 3 to be was an amped up.. better graphics version of diablo 2 of course... with a different story but now everything in Diablo 3 has like +5000% to this... +3000% to that and I'm sorry but with high numbers like that and modifiers upon modifiers... it becomes a chore to me to play and thus why I quit. Make the game simple and try not to have us be a mathematician in order to play it.
D2 is far from simple. In fact the D2 mechanics are far more intricate than those of D3.
I agree +5000% to this and that is lame. That doesn't make the game complex though.
You never made it to even Nightmare difficulty in D2 if you think it's simple. Maybe you're forgetting that a D2 build wasn't just about gear. To put it simply Diablo 2 was more of a rpg where as D3 is more of an arpg.
I don't like in diablo 3's pvp is a fail
jkutnink87 lol in diablo 3 you had all stats given before you and in diablo 2 you had to calculate the mf, cb, fhr, ias, fcr etc for yourself
@@Halilbel exactly...I remember having a pad of paper next to me so I could see if I had hit the fcr max on my chars and to see if I had hit ias wall on my melee ones..plus calculating mf,keeping track of runes at first,and a list of runewords I wanted.its a game I wanted to do homework on lol,not just play
Thank you for that. After playing way to much d2 in my life I still did not know about some of those items.
2:03, 13 years, 2:35, 15 years. You are a time traveler. Caught ya.
Lol tyrael's armor was that rare? I used to have 1 in my companion o.o
João Paulo agreed, it was not that rare. I found a few of them myself.
I think it depends on the level of the item. The 84lv TA is rare.
i never found one or a zod rune
@ Xin Zhang there's only one Tyreal's Might, it drops as a level 84 sacred armor.
@@MattieDiesel it's TC87 though, so it can only drop from monsters lvl 87+, and there aren't many of those
keep making videos please
Thanks! New Diablo 2 videos every monday :)
what realm do u play on?
US EAST
@fekstar127 uh... wat?
LET'S GO BOWLING MY COUSIN!
I had grandfather and crown of ages back in the day. Didn't know they were that rare. Never saw many of those
Tyrael's was one of the only legendaries I ever got. Thought it was more common.
LOL i actually found 2 shadow dancers today within an hour in the same freaking spot in Ancient tunnels :D
MF = 620
And you woke up
nah man all true
got both screenshotted
I lost my account from not logging in and my barb had almost everything except the cranium basher shows I had no life
set your computer date to 3 months back and it will reopen the account expired chars
omryr00 I lost my account years ago would it still work?
ye
omryr00 ok cool ty
did it work?
Old d2 veteran here, watching these for some feels! Subscribed!
Cool! I knew about half of these items.. But that Tyrael's Might? Oh boy!
Thanks for a cool and informative video! :))
Found everything ecept WF, GF and Tyraels.
I found the cranium basher multible times, but allways salvaged that shit. Its after 1.09.
btw. 1.09 was the best patch.
agreed. wish it never changed!
best d2 days of my life
i found everything exept tyraels and mang song
me too! What a great game.
i found like 4x df 3x grifon 2x dw but no tyrael just that other shit sacred armor
I found one tyreals and most of the other ones. not all but most
I have owned all them at one point in my D2 career. Kinda nice to know I own them all at one point.
Very nice movie. I am glad I discovered your D2 videos. Bring back really a lot of memories.
I never found anything from the list :-) I was so happy to find Shako :D
I played Diablo 1 and 2, both from launch. Anyway, all of the items you mentioned being the most rare were really not all that rare, myself and my friends found those items all the time and would normally just leave them on the ground. The Windforce was rarest item to find. Tens of thousands of magic find runs and finding a windforce was next to impossible. Of course we all played constantly up until 2003, so your idea of rare might likely be so but previous to 2003 the Windforce was the most prized legitimate game weapon.
yeah leave a crown of aeons on the ground unidentified. your pretty smart i guess
Why would I keep something that I already found and was common to find? It is Crown of Ages by the way, not Aeons. That doesn't even exist in the game.
To trade with if you played multi.
Yeah sure bud. I use to have 700% MF and the biggest dick in high school too.
Beast6228, Crown of Ages common? Are you by any chance a moron?
lol, have found tyraels might a lot I feel :S
yeah in diablo 3 you do
ive found it couple times in D2
Great vid. I love how D2 has always kept it's best items almost impossible to find, making them feel truly unique in the best sense of the word. The only reason people actually found these enigmatic items is that the game is so well-made that thousands and thousands of people wanted to play it, thus making it possible for some lucky bastards out there to get a hold of them. Blizzard should be MUCH bigger risk takers in the future as they were with D2.
i remember early in the 2000's maybe 2003 -2005 i got life insurance money from my dad passing and i was playing d2 so much. i bought so many items from d2 shops. i had grandfathers, enigmas, hoz's all the best gear and i spent hundreds of dollars on it. d2 item shops loved me lol
I found all this shit like a hundred times over. You know what I still have never found, in like 15 years of diablo 2? THE REAL rarist items in diablo 2...
a Blue 40 % magic find ring AND a blue 50% magic find amulet.
I once found a 35mf ring and a 41 mf ammy, but unlike D1 rare jewelry is next to impossible to find with perfect stats.
you did not find these 100 times over. unless you were botting which is possible. But i would be willing to bet literally everything i own and will ever own on the fact you didn't get all these items 100+ times without bots
You are leaking jelly, like an over stuffed donut.
No. I am just 100% sure you did not find these items 100+ times each without bots.
Just don't like when people lie is all, and out of all the liars in this comment section you have the most out outrageous claim that i had to reply
Who's lieing, i have diablo 2 chars on bnet older then my kids, and my kids are teenagers.
We are talking like over ten thousand game hours easly.
I once found a unique bow in the first Diablo and I've NEVER been able to find any information on it on any diablo sites and I mean that quite literally.
I think Schaefer's hammer & Arkaines Valor should be somewhere in between the mix of these items. But yeah Ive looted all of these besides Deaths fathom (which Ive always wanted to find being one of my fav items) CoA was from an elite Regurgitator in the River of flame. Griff was a random knight in Throne room. Tyrials might was dropped by Pindleskin
Great Video Xtimus ! i have a question are there any items in Diablo 3 that are 0,00002 ?
I can't say I know much about Diablo 3. I bought it when it first came out and I quit after they patched the game when they nerfed everything and my items went from godly to worthless.
Now its alot and i mean alot better ! You should come back and do seasons
btw if you wanna go from lvl 1to 70 let me know it'll take about 15 min ^^
I found a high roll Crown of Ages when running the Monster's Den outside of the Rogue Encampment on Hell difficulty. Someone once told me that caves had higher drop rates, so I did what was easiest to MF while gearing. I consulted a friend on its value and he said "Dude, that stat roll is worth a Zod rune." I think it was a +15% DR and +29 Resist All 2 socket. I made my first Breath of the Dying on an ethereal Colossus Sword I was saving after the trade. My WW Barb never died again.
Found a windforce like a year ago, no real ingame value, but nostalgia made it priceless to me. Goes without saying, I instant created a bowazon to go with it.
Very nice brings back the good old days I had a few of all of those items back in the day!
ive been playing for 16 years on and off on hardcore mode and theres at least 2 items i'd never heard of let alone found in this list.
I feel so proud every time I watch this video. The first time I watched it, which was like 4 months ago, I never thought in a million years I was gonna find any of those items. Now I have 5/10. Keep it up Xtimus!
Started playing in 1.08... 1.09 was the best Diablo 2 ever was ever will be , I sure miss it , you had such a huge range of how to make your class it truly was fun and not so gear dependent , in 1.10 and beyond you where stuck with cookie cutter builds and gear / skill charm dependent or you would not be able to kill a damn thing .
I only found Shadow Dancers (had no clue it was rare), Death's Fathom and Grandfather (way past the point it was valuable) and i played on and off for 10 years.
Didn't even know Mang Song's Lesson even existed lol.
thanks for the info... will keep a lookout for these on my episodes ^.^
Ironically, the only one of these I ever found was Tyrael's Might, and that was the first and only unique Sacred Armor that ever dropped for me. I was active on a forum of D2 players who played Singleplayer, and I'd heard so many horror stories about people who had found 20+ Templar's Mights, and still hadn't found a single Tyrael's.
Years later, now that I no longer play, it's exciting that I was able to find a Tyrael's. But at the time, when I foolishly thought I would eventually get everything if I just kept playing, I remember thinking, "Yeah, okay, this is great... But couldn't this have been a more useful item instead?!?"
I dropped my first windforce, mang song's lesson, and cranium basher all in the span of the past two weeks. I didn't even know cranium basher was that rare until this video.
These videos bring up so much nostalgia.. makes me want to pick it up again. I have seen them all drop for me personally - but we are talking playing d2 for years upon years, since the release to maybe a few years ago. And pretty much every.. single.. day..
I've gotten a Windforce, Griffon's Eye, and Grandfather. I used to use Doombringer on my barb back in the day until I found a Grandfather, incidentally.
I found a Cranium basher on my nec on my way to the ancients in singleplayer today. cool that its one of the top rarest items :) and I have yet to beat hell baal lol. Nice video btw!
You're the most legit D2 player to post content like this. Respect
Funny thing is, when Whisp was introduced to game, it was only available in ladder, i actually GAMBLED it in non-ladder
In the years I played this game I found a few of these items, with exception for Mang Song's Lesson, Wisp Projector, Death's Fathom and Windforce...
I had an Ethereal Natalya's Claw that somebody had socketed with a Zod rune back in the day. I had a lot of Ith helmet, Buriza armor etc which enabled me to just get the best items in the game. Those were the worst days for D2 when the hacked items were all around but it was my golden age. My Ama with WF and Buri Armor basically just shat on everything.
I've played D2 off and on since it's release and have only found 10 and 6. I remember finding a perfect pair of Shadow Dancers from the first monster that I killed outside of pandemonium on my way to Izzy once. I gave them away for free when I decided to quit for the 100th time.
I had four of these drop. (Windforce, The Grandfather, the Crown of Ages, and the Cranium Basher). I played a ton back in the day.
I played D2 for about 10 years and got 1 Tyraels Might. My highest rune drop was a Jah. This kind of rarity is what made D2 so amazing.
Found them all! None of those moments compares or comes even close to the moment when you get a Level-UP to 99 in Hardcore Ladder.
I played in the early 2000‘s and windforce was $20 on eBay back then not hundreds. Still like your videos they’re fun to watch
Obv better rolls were more
Best feeling in the world @ 2:53 , I still remember the time a unique Hydra bow was drop back in the days
so i've gotten 3 of the items you've called out. i got a windforce, a grandfather and a death's fathom. ironically the death's fathom was an annoyance because i wanted the occulus and couldn't get it to drop for my MF sorceress for FOREVER lol
Never found a Windforce or Tyrael's Might. Come to think of it, I dont think I ever found a Crown of Ages either. I remember one time running the Pit, after all the chaos was over in the second level, there was three yellow Hydra bows laying there. Oh the possibilities if one of them had rolled unique man!
Found my first Windforce ever a week ago.
On this list, I also found Cranium Basher and Death Fathom on old d2.
Saw Tyrael dropping once ... OMG, I think, I really was addicted to that game. Stopped playing in 2007 and never played again for reasons. :-D
A unique sacred armor got only 10% chance to be Tyrael, its was maybe not one ;)
Believe me, it was.
did you just say 15 years?????damn...now thats commitment...i salute you
Ahh so many memories, so much time spent joining baal runs and hostiling everyone then waiting in a corner to try to kill bot before they used chicken.
I don't play multiplayer only single player. I found The Crown of Ages once back when I was a bit addicted to playing Diablo II LOD and played it on and off and once for 3-5 hours every day for about 3 months straight on single player and ended up with over a level 86 Druid. I no longer have the save files though. I also found The Cranium Basher when I had a high level Barbarian and was on Act V of hell mode before the save file corrupted. I have found a quite a few rare unique items on single player, not as rare as some of these and despite that, I have yet to find a Stone of Jordan.
When I was a kid I had Tyrael's Might. I had no idea it was that rare. I probably vendered it when I got something "better"
I honestly didn't realize that Shadow Dancers were rare - I've found them twice. I've never found any of the others, but had a BK drop from Baal.
In about 13 years of play, I've found one Tyrael (Ancient Tunnels), one Fathom (Durance lvl 2), one COA (Chaos), one WISP (Trav), one Shadow Dancer (Worldstone lvl 2).
During the uncountable number of times I've played Diablo 2, I've NEVER found rare stuff like this. It's a myth!
Nice video. The last patch I really played was 1.09, after that, real life took up most of my time. Never heard of several of those items, I am guessing they came in with 1.10 or later? I had a Windforce on v1.08 or v1.07, I dont remember anymore.
Damn.. D2 was THE game that got me into PC gaming...The hundreds of thousands of MF run's I made on my sorc/barbs, I can say the only item listed here that I have never found is Wisp Projector.
I'll never forget my 1.08 Windforce; And off the legit train; those Blood Whorls, "White" items, Hex charms. lmao. Glad Diablo 2 is fairly clean these days.
The rarest and game changer item i ever had is my amazon's Buriza Do Kyanon. Way back like 12 years ago :). Dang i feel so old.
Fury balrog blade was way better than grandfather even before all the new rune words came out. Nice video!
I actually remember finding The Cranium Basher on my Barb in Act 4 during co-op. Still one of the best weapon names xD
Diablo 2 for the win!
I started playing single player around 2 years ago and so far, from this list, I've found;
Griffons Eye
Windforce
Wisp Projector
Crown of Ages (1 socket) :(
Some other rare items i've found:
Jmod
SoJ
Deaths Web
45all res Sacred Targe.
5/-5 Lightning Rainbow Facet
But I've still not found an Arachnid Mesh!
Edit: Subbed and hoping for more d2 content
