I like!

Yes!! This.

And working hard to get to the point where you can just cut a swath through your enemies!!! That just feels so good.

And there it is: the RoLS, with MF1, was finally dropped at 14,790 SGM's killed. While it's likely not a record it is a pretty remarkable run of bad luck.

'Nuff said.

To keep the forum alive a bit...what's the luckiest you've ever gotten with a legendary or extraordinary item?

I personally got extremely lucky with a ROLS on my first character. Only took me a little over 600 SGT/SGM kills to score the best ring in the game. Since then tho...no luck whatsoever.

When I was building a new character (likely my 10th or so) I got an ElyR just walking up the mountain, killing what I had to to get to the BWM settlement. The number of trainers I'd killed on that game was probably less than 5. First ElyR I'd ever gotten. At the time, my lowest recorded kill number was like 12 of something, and the trainers didn't make the list. Considering all of the trainers I'd killed up to that point on other characters, it wouldn't have been much of an achievement, but for just that character, I just sat there stunned. Then I discovered how not good the ElyR was, and I was sad.
I'd also say I was very, very lucky while building my template character. I managed to hunt up 2 RoLS, 2 RoL, and an ElyR in only maybe 5 hours, despite being level 1. Even using saving/reloading, I was insanely lucky.

That is incredibly lucky! My main build got his RolS with only 161 kills (I figured out the exact number by poking around in the savegame file). He also got a GoW with no grinding, just luck. The RoL, on the other hand...

I had gotten a bunch of legendary and extraordinary items so incredibly easy that it never occurred to me that I should have kept them. So since the stats weren't all that impressive on most of them and they came to me so easily, I sold them without another thought. I had done this with at least six or eight different items before I got I involved with the forum. Now that I actually want to keep them, I find L&E's much harder to obtain.

Aaaaand I just got my first RoL last night after some on-again off-again grinding of those little imps. It didn't take too long in game time but I have been off grinding for a while.

Now I'm dual-wielding that bad boy with the ChaR, cutting large swaths through everything.
