Is Running Pindleskin Worth It? - 1000 Runs Loot Highlights

Loot highlights from 1000 Pindleskin (aka Pindle) MF runs in Diablo 2 Resurrected, using a Blizzard sorceress.
Love him or hate him, running Pindleskin is a topic with some strong opinions. I never had a real opinion about him myself, so I decided to give him a good grind and see how I really feel about him.
Another 1000 Pindle runs:

@Zarfen the Loot Goblin something about the small blonde chick with a bow to the epic music was so funny. Great work.

Kind of a fun thing to do while you wait if ur character is strong enough to kill him quickly in p8

Regarding your Windforce drop, I know what you felt, as the physical bowazon is my all-time favourite character. I restarted from scratch on single-player when D2R came out and I haven't found a Windforce yet, but I found a Jah rune rather early. At the second that rune dropped, my heart missed a beat or two, realizing that I also had a Vex and two Gul runes, as well as a 4 socket +3 GMB, so I stopped all other D2R activity, cubed up the runes to Ohm, made a Faith bow and started a physical bowazon. Today she's my most versatile terror zone runner.

[@zarfen]

Nice! It takes a die hard bowazon player to make faith before enigma! I salute you 🫡 I haven’t gotten to play her much yet, but I imagine terror zones being added to the game was a great thing for the bowazon’s end game.

[@krischan67]

@@zarfen Well, I think Enigma isn't really worth it until you have a certain amount of other high-end gear. For example, a hammerdin or fohdin can be pretty efficient with gear not more rare than a shako and paladins can substitute teleportation with charge. I have a second Jah rune now, but not a Ber, although I could probably cube up all my HRs lower than that to produce one, so I'm still without Enigma. BTW, I've found two WFs in the meantime 🙂

[@nathr7375]

Back in the day when I never found a WF and before rws I used to run a shaeled up bow that already had ias and strafe as my main. That was always fun :D

This captures the nostalgia of D2 so perfectly, thank you!

[@Fvission]

I remember back in 02-03 running Pindle on V1.09 and finding WF! Those were the days. I think everyone used SOJ's to trade back then. So much nostolgia!

[@zarfen]

That’s awesome!

[@tarcoles]

SOJ was the value measure unit back then

[@QuintinMassey]

Yes. SOJ’s were the currency back then. I don’t know if people still do this but we would also not ID the item to make negotiations more interesting. Sometimes you get 2 SOJ’s for an item roll only worth one, and sometimes you paid 2 SOJ’s for an item roll only worth one 😂

[@Purriah]

@@QuintinMasseyit wasn’t to be interesting, it was gambling, meaning the house (seller) wins in the long run. So people would sell unidentified verdungos, for example, for more than the price of an average roll. Same concept with people selling “Unid” runewords like call to arms for 2 HRs. Even though it’s made of amn ral mal ist ohm and a flail, so like 1.5 HRs with of materials at best. Because one that rolled a +1-3 is worth so little, (less than the runes it’s made of, obviously) they could make profit, and a buyer could gamble and potentially get a perfect or near perfect one worth 5-6 HR for only the price of 2, and it saves time not having to trade down a Hr into mal ist amn ral and a flail

Lovely video! I played D2 back in the day and have been grinding D2R on and off since launch. I have traded a few times, but I never trade for uniques - I want to do the grail on my own. I don’t know how, but now I’m rich - Enigma, Jah:s in the stash etc. Currently play light-sorc. Mostly on TZ, but when the TZ is bad I usually go to good ol’ Pindle. Last week, after probably thousands of runs, he suddenly dropped IT. On the ground lay a unique Diadem. I will never forget that moment and I am so happy I didn’t just trade for it. Damn I love this game!

I’m 8 items away from finishing the holy grail. A couple of years ago I had the most insane RNG on Pindle, I dropped a Griffon’s Eye, then on the VERY NEXT RUN I dropped it again. I calculated the odds using silospen’s drop calculator and I think it came out to like 1 in 33 million chance of it happening twice in a row. Makes me wonder if I’ll ever finish the grail or if I’ve already used my whole allotment of RNG for Diablo 2 😅

[@sluggerdaddy9683]

Playing Online solo, did hundreds of Pindle runs, 99% nothing but a Griffon's Eye also. If you farm Pindle with the intent of getting lots of loot then you lose. If you add him to your MF run cycle, you'll be surprised.

[@zarfen]

I think this is the best approach. Don’t make him your bread and butter but add him in whenever and view him as a bonus with great potential.

Yes. That’s the correct way to think about running him. Just program him into your MF run.

[@wedgeantilles8575]

I started with D1 back in 1996 (or whenever), then played a ton of D2 and later D3. I was not sure if I would enjoy D2 again. Bbecause just from the combat mechanics D3 was much improved compared to D2. However, I always preferred the story, the quests, the graphic style. Or would I "destroy" my great memories of D2, by realizing that the days of D2 are long over? I decided to give the remaster a try. And it definitly was worth it! Not that I put 1000 hours into it, but I leveled a Sorc to 92, equipped her with good gear and had just a lot of fun with the game. I was surprised how well the combat system worked for me. Sure, D3 combat system is faster, more direct and in general superior. But D2 was no disappointment. The optics are great, I like the darker style a lot. The story in general is way better than in D3, the quests more interesting. Give it a try, it is money VERY well spent IMO.

Thank you for the nice comment, Tiger! ‘Welcome’ to the game, it’s awesome! Especially if you like doing these kind of runs 🙂 Good luck with the countess. She’s a great source of early game runes and all the unique boss packs in the tower gives decent experience. Many of my new characters stop by her for some runes to get started!

I run Pindle purely because I want some 3/20 gloves off Anya and he breaks up the time a bit better (I know Charsi is more likely to have some but it's not worth running cows for magic find unless its terrorized - though the cow king is still bugged and can't drop his own set). In 500 runs he has dropped less than 10 uniques, one was Lightsabre the rest are not worthy of note. It is very demoralizing but I'm hoping it will pay off before insanity hits.

We shall be watching your career with great interest...

[@zarfen]

Thank you TiemX, I appreciate the interest! :)

i dropped a griffons first day HC ladder made like 8k fg so happy!

[@zarfen]

Whoa that’s crazy, congrats! Griffons and Windforce are the two items I always wish for at Pindle! Hope I can find a Griffons soon 😁

Metalgrid can be used with lacerator for the amp dmg

[@zarfen]

That’s really clever! I only though about auras, not items with % chance to proc. Seems really powerful! Thanks for sharing

[@P8Ohm]

Hi! Increasing player count doesn't have any effect on drop rates from Pindle, right? At least not according to Silospen. Or am I missing something?

[@zarfen]

I… I had no idea about this, but a quick googling seem to agree with you. Thank you for telling me, Jeroen. Good to know so I don’t waste a bunch of (more) time because of this in the future…

[@P8Ohm]

@@zarfen you're welcome! It makes farming superuniques so much faster. Have fun!

[@zarfen]

wait are you sure about that @bronchoped1? Isn’t it only super uniques that don’t benefit from higher players settings?

[@zarfen]

No kidding! Thanks and you too! :)

WF + tals armor = Worth a lot!

Headhunter's glory is actually good with a javazon when socketed with Facets

[@diegouemura]

I did over 5000 pindle runs back in the day with 700% mf and nothing noteworthy dropped. If after 1000 runs only the WF dropped i'd be surprised, but on top of that you had a whole bunch of decent drops.

[@zarfen]

WF within 1000 runs is definitely lucky! Nothing in 5k runs is super unlucky though, hope you had better luck elsewhere!

[@jamesrenegade1010]

You had too much mf. You don’t want more then 250-300 mf

[@connorgillispie7128]

I enjoyed the bowazon montage

[@zarfen]

Thank you! I should think of more things like that for future videos. It was fun to make and seems well received :)

[@gertrudeb5045]

that bowazone LOL

[@TasosXalaros]

Did you change the game dificulty for Piddle? You know it doesnt affect him?

[@zarfen]

I know now but I didn’t know when doing the runs… and the exp wasn’t worth it either, so I would not increase the settings if I were to run him again :)

[@fredrichardson9761]

Pindle is pretty fast, so it does make some sense to chain Pindle runs with LK and/or Meph. It shouldn't add too much time to each iteration (I don't think). OTOH, if it adds significant time then you really want to run more Meph and/or LK instead...

[@zarfen]

Before I started making these videos I would always run several targets/areas in the same run because it's more variety/fun. Pindle specifically is SO easy to add to any run too since he's always in the same place and close to town/wp

[@fredrichardson9761]

@@zarfen I think I tried this too! Pindle started dropping off simply because there was almost no yield compared to the other runs...

[@zarfen]

@@fredrichardson9761 hehe yeah. Like I said at the beginning of the video: he can drop almost everything, but he never drops anything 😁

[@fredrichardson9761]

@@zarfen Hah!! Well said!
