any time I see this cope I say "play more" Most of the time I see people bitchin log in for an hour and a half a day on average and wonder why they don't find shit.
Last season, I only played for one month as a SSF sorc. In that time mostly grinding TZ I found x2 Ber, x2 Jah, x4 Sur x2 Lo, X1 ohm and several lower runes. Mind you it was all solo lobbies. It's definitely possible if you put some time into playing.
This is one of the most inspiring videos I've ever seen, no joke. You started from scratch and did what many would consider impossible or extremely difficult. All of your videos are incredibly entertaining, but the information you provide behind the hilarious awesomeness is just amazing.
What's fantastic about this game is that you can have this experience in 2 days and then do another 1000 hell chaos runs and never find anything this good again
You vids are bangers. Gotta wait for em. But keep them coming. The way you present them and your subtle comedy keeps everyone on their toes. Gj and keep it up
You were smashing! I snagged a Guardian Angel in a Pub Chaos Sanc Terror run off diablo. Crafted +5 Pnova White on day 2. Traded Spirit/Chancies/Tals Belt for Dweb Day 3. Few sunders. No runes but that's just due to my farming spots early season.
Found greater talon +3 phoenix strike +3 lightning sentry +1 blade shield on a public ball run that no one picked up - sold it for 2bers to make an infinity scythe that roll -55 on the light res that then sold on jsp for 8kfg. My fastest wealth obtain in d2r so far!!
ok i have two questions. can you turn forum gold into real cash? 2 in the horadric cube can you combine lower level runes into higher level runs and if so how many does it take 3 to 1 or more?
Found tal ammy day 1 Visage day 2 vamp gaze highlords and a pul day 3. With a budget paladin just like yours. Idk what character I want to roll now last ladder I did a pitzerker but I need to switch it up. Any suggestions?
24 fhr is huge, and that 30 str is the highest roll, which really helps due to the str required to wear stuff early on ladder, specially that Monarch Spirit (156).
found out about the ladder on launch day, but couldn't get into it. stopped playing in normal for the first time in ages :/ I think the 20 years of JSP grinding has finally numbed my D2 brain. Still holding out hope for some ladder SSF mode one day, I don't even like single-player typically but I don't even remember the last time I played like that as I love trading. Maybe they could just make the characters convert to regular online-characters at end of season? Love to see the videos though, by far the top D2 creator imo. Always gives me that d2 fix.
Thought I’d hate this one but damnit you’ve done it again! Awesome video! Thanks for putting in all that time! That was a hell of a ladder squeeze! I’ve been too busy with work to even get past lvl 50 and this video some how made me feel better about the fact that I couldn’t play and try for something similar. GG man keep the good content comin!
Couldn't agree more about gambling/crafting. I even made my hammerdin a 1000 gf set up to run trav on players 1 and then leveled a lvl 39 to gambling boots for 30frw tri-res. Only got a nice 30/10/dual res so far. As for gambling i tried for caster amulets but hammerdin was rolling them at lvl 85 so 2/20's were out of the question. I did roll some 2 MA/FCR ammys though and sold them. The rest sucked though and teh cost of pamys and rals the first few days were tough to swallow. Probably came out negative there :P
gotta believe! :D meanwhile ppl selling stacks of 100+ ber runes on jsp again :D "Just find something and put it on" is exactly the strategy i use every ladder reset btw! :D
When D2R dropped I found 2 griffs in the first couple weeks. They were selling unid for about 3k FG and 1.5k for an identified one at mid/low stats. I IDed both and sold one for 800 and the other for 1200 (poo poo rolls both time).
I loved this video. Like most other viewers, I was right there with ya grinding out the last 3 days and selling for fg like a madman watching Dkeys and monarchs drop in price hourly. My best sales were all around 500fg range on day 3 with tal ammy, 4os eth giant thresher and a 17 med noneth thresher on day 2. Dkeys though kept me alive. Stopping caring once they were below 100
@@rye42687 Hammerdin but I traded for a lem and ko on day 2 to make a lawbringer so I wouldn't die to corpse explosions and used that as my bhammer weapon instead of spirit for this runs. This way I could just clear the whole field instead of using a naj or tele staff and be a maniac like cooley in this video; tele stomping Nihl
On launch my buddy and I found tal armor day 2. 7k FG sale. By far my biggest ever. I farmed 35 d keys in the first 4 days on a trap sin and made an enigma. It was a glorious month.
Whats the idea in starting classic? Skipping act 5 for Normal and Nightmare? When converting - you have to complete them? Where would you farm ir classic? CS and Diablo? Are skills the same in classic? Synergies?
I got a shako and traded that for a vex. Traded the vex for gul mal ist. Did hellforge got another gul. Did chaos got a mal. Made 2 mosaics. Got a Jah fron chaos and traded a mosaic pattern for a ber. I think i did well this ladder.
Well done Coooley! I almost lost my hope of grinding but finally on day 4.. found a griffons that i sold in traderie vs decent price and turned it to fg
Curious. I've never played ladder before. Did you just get insanely luck with finding high runes like that or are drop rates on ladder characters inflated?
And now after 3 Days after you released this video things are worth nothing :) including HRs, I think we got the first HoZ on ladder reset from hell Izual, sold it instantly for 4k to a uber smiter
I love the trade aspect of the game and trying to get the best deals, but honestly, I just want to play Diablo so I have to kinda restrict myself to playing SSF or I'm not playing the game anymore, I'm just F5ing trade sites
I had a similar goal. I started pally and got budget smiter gear super early and on Day 3 dclone dropped and I was ready. Got my Anni then charged 5 people 50fg to kill their dclone. I've made over 1k and I thought I was doing good 😅
i wasnt even taking this ladder serious brunt out on d2R but I found a ber and sold it for 1500fg. insane how much people are willing to pay early ladder when prices drop fast as hell.
I did it in 3 days too with a Java in cows…Maras 2250 day one and Ber day two 2400…Other bases in between. Spent 65fg day 3 on titans to not repair constantly
I found a sur rune on play through, sold it for 1.2k fg. I'm not that experienced with jsp, do I don't know if that was good, but it was the going rate at the time (day 2)
Coooley, I have been watching your videos for a while now. You make some entertaining content and your pretty knowledgeable. Aside from that, a d2r forum user named Bravata is using the content of your videos as an argument to try and sway blizzard into banning you and other D2jsp users. His argument is that you are a cheater and anyone who uses D2Jsp should be banned as cheaters as well. I'm kinda sick of debating the people on forum over the cost of Ber and other items at ladder start, would you do a video covering the cost of items in fg at ladder start? Also, It's sad to see these kids argue for pay to win directly from blizzard and argue for a ban on D2JSP. Thanks brother!
I've been really sick since 1 day after ladder reset and haven't been able to play at all. So sad. The prices are going to be so low and the earning potential is gone when I can play again :D
I don't even bother playing anymore because they reset the ladder during the week and by the time I can sit down and play without having to worry about work ect ect the ladder is 3 days in and everything has dropped in price so hard that starting from level 0 is just pointless. I'd love to see them mix it up and offer a ladder reset during the WEEKEND. Awesome video though cooley, insane finds!!
Next season I’m taking a few days off. If you work you get left behind real quick. But my best find was day 3 shako and 23 maras. Did about 200 meph runs yesterday for just those 2 drops 🥴
@@Hybriidzv1 kind of. Bots have ruined ladder starts. You can basically get enigma for 3k fg already and it’s not even a week in. Without bots enigma would still be like 7-8k fg
@@Maty514 no many classic main players argue it would just be QoL because shared stash just helps you move gear over to other toons, it doesn't have to be a big stash but they need shared stashes for sure.
@@Coooley I found two Ber runes in one day once. First one in CS, and then I hear a rune drop in cows and had to run away from all the loot to even see it. Wish I had some of that luck with me today.
I did the farm/buy keys route and sold torches Unid only i'ding the 3rd for a potential home run. Best one i I'd was a 18/20 sorc (sold for 3k) . I was able to get 8-9K fg day 1-2, then moved to terror zoned selling sunders. Making it rich takes just a bit of planning and not doing the same thing everyone else is. ( cold sorc meph runs dont get you Engima day 3 :) ) Really nice vid Coolie,
my best finds on day 3 were a perfect 20/20/10 anni I sold for 3 ber and a Lo as well as an eth reaper's toll that I sold for a Lo as well as 2 shakos for Ohm/Vex
Found an ohm and made cta with mal off forge and traded for ist. Traded arach for shako and the very next chaos dropped me tals armor. Found Lo at meph later that night.
Nice dude I managed to scrape together 4k, already hung up the ladder boots, bots are killing the ladder prices so fast I feel like the damage has been done
My idea was to no life the weekend to sell things while prices were high, but holy crap did everything drop in price INSANELY FAST. Really took the air out of my sails. I did find two Tal Rasha amulets within the first two days so I was able to make dual griefs for my we horker barb.
@Coooley at this rate you won't need to wait months to get rock bottom pricing on the gg, so that will be nice. Grats on the Jah, I found a ber and sold it for 2.3k on day 3. I think we did alright, 10k should get you some nice things for your NL duelers
@@Coooley Unfortunately I dont think we can get the best of both worlds when it comes to this game. You can hate the Chinese/Korean/Venezuelan botters, but the only way they could fix it would be to make the game like diablo 3 with open trade only to those in the party with high drop rates. And we have diablo 3 for that experience we do not need diablo 2 to be the same. So its just an issue we have to deal with and go super hard the first few days and hope for the best.
"Just find something and put it on."
Truly the only real budget build advice. 😂
Bro finds more high runes in a day than I do in a season.

Enjoyed the video!
made a spirit monarch 35% 4-5h after the ladder reset, sold it for 4k then went to sleep, bought one back at 500. xD
thats great first video ive found with a decent amount of subscribers, thats has d2j in it
ggs
May I ask what makes the crafted belt so good? I see not-perfect FCR, 24fhr and 30 str on it. Is this a PvP belt?
24 fhr is huge, and that 30 str is the highest roll, which really helps due to the str required to wear stuff early on ladder, specially that Monarch Spirit (156).
Nice video! Insane luck tho. Found 1x Fal from Hell HF lol.
