Uniques, are not trophies, but the Jewel in that is.
6str/9dex/15mana/-15% <-- a perfect jewel for LLD and these sell for 2500fg+

i cant compare that Barb circlet as there is nothing comparable to it in D2 (different builds not tele/frw/wsg/fhr d2vsd2r euro vs east etc.)
i rate that circlet 9/10 however. if it had 10 repl, 10/10. (not factoring in the jewels).

20fcr > 10replen

well yes ok.

This fire circlet popped up today, quite similar to the one I posted in post #6. 2/30/20/2sox. for LLD(noting a perfect jewel is 6/9/15/30) this could be considered as:
2 fire 20fcr 30 frw 60mana 30 cold res and 1 sox free. i.e. a very good circlet. This gets a similar rating to the one I posted above, slightly less noting you have to spend 2 good jewels on it and less mana, so around 7/10.
As the aim of this topic is to make people more aware of what good looks like (and to showcase LLD and MLD) and not to charsi these things, i will point out that this circlet sold for 4500fg.

What a feeling seeing my amu there

Keep up with the work, appreciate the content!

if you have anything else gg, feel free to post it! that goes for everyone.

I will probably do a collage at the start of the new year with the stuff found to date. And well, its good to have side by side comparisons, so here is another fire circlet. On review, i feel the one sold today should be 7.5/10, making this one a 7/10)
(remember we wont see 10/10's for a while, that does not mean that these are bad, they are great, its just that amaze can spawn, eventually):

(psaphired ok - still sold for 2000fg, lets see more of these please!)

At LLD (30) Fire, Cold and Light Sorc's are pretty strong (with Light being the weakest). In terms of making a LLD Light sorc, its loses heavily vs fire, can toe to toe vs Blizz, and does pretty OK vs most other things (trapper destroys it though). Most play ES Light but the ability to play vita is always there with switch gear.

This is a Light Orb currently being sold. I think the leading offer was something like 7000? This is a reminder to everyone to always ID Blue Orbs as if you get something like this, you are in for a pay day:



I rate this item 8.5/10, noting its not 2 sox, its not rare (could have spawned with mass mana) and its basically a plain 2/20/3/3. I say "plain" but there is nothing plain about it. it could have spawned with another useful skill like thunderstorm instead of chain lightning. chain lightning is actually a terrible mod as it invites high level players to buy this (a forever problem with very good lld items sometimes - they get used by high level chars).

here is a D2og version of the weapon, slightly inferior and would rate it around 7.9/10 (these are very very rare):

great topic

This is the best Level 30 10fcr/24fhr belt (the minimum requirements on caster belts) I have seen so far in D2r. It is not a trophy in the grand scheme of things (when put alongside D2og belts) but its cost is around 1000 and I invite someone to post better. In the round I rate it 5/10.


(10/24/20mana)

Here are the D2og Trophy Belts. The first one would be 9.9/10, the rest are all perfect (really, cannot spawn better). the 40 mana one is 2 mods and would be the rarest type of belt to spawn. Repl Life is King on these belts. Any 10/24/5repl thats crafted by a LLDer is a 9.9/10 and should really never be sold noting its so so hard to get a plain 10/24 (1/90 crafts). if you have the time to craft 24/7, go craft us all 10/24/5repl life belts, thank you.



Also ~ Some people would have seen this topic ~ https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=88075247&f=103 where the amulet ratings were : "sounds cool but no trophy, sorry", "8.5/10", "trash", "end game lld amu", "holy shit", "9/10" "The life is quite low + no rep", "Nah just shit", "nothing special", "7.5/10". Anyway, here it is again, and I included a 2nd good amulet, as well as the D2og comparables, for reference purposes.

For the record people might think that 1st amulet Skull Torc was bad, but it still sold for 8000fg (reminder again LLD items can be expensive).
n-c owns #1 and Rikid owns the 2nd one afaik.

Fire Amulets and how I would rate them:

1. D2R: Skull Torc - 9/10
2. D2R: Death Scarab - 8.3/10
3. D2OG: Rune Talisman - 9.9/10
4. D2OG: Grim Wing - 9.8/10
5. D2OG: Bone Heart - 9.9/10

(understand that a 2fire/10fcr/60life/10repl/90mana is a 10/10)

This was gambled a few weeks ago (the lld community has a gambling thread where we try to motivate each other to gamble good circlets - you want to be level 42 when gambling for LLD circlets ok). The +1 skills instead of +2 pnb is unfortunate and the bonus to Ar is obviously not useful, but well 1/30/20/8/79 mana is clearly ahead of most everything right now. So its missing +2pnb, 2sox, Repl life or even just flat life. Would rate it around 7/10 ~ still sold for around 2500fg though (remember to look at level 30-49 items twice before throwing away!)



The D2og Comparables look like this:
This one I would rate 8.5/10 (If someone has a screen of a better D2og LLD Nec Circlet please post it)
(if the below had mass mana it would be a 9.7/10 - res can be considered a wasted mod (but consider it gravy on top of a good circlet) since at LLD you can get res anywhere and duels are in normal (Anya 30, Viper 35, you really dont need much more)


oh and the lld light orb (previously posted) sold for 11000fg apparently (after some drama - and there is always drama on this site haha).
