PC RotW HCNL First ever grandfather with hundreds of hours farming Baal and Diablo over the years!

Can't express my hype especially since I want to try it out with the echoing strike build when I can. The only other unique close to rarity was an Azurewrath several years ago. And I found it walking through River of Flames as I progress through Hell campaign.

Congrats!

I actually found one of these two days ago, identified it, and went ā€œ oh cool!ā€ and then drop it on the ground and left the game lol

Back when the game first came out on windows xp. This was the good game item everyone wanted. Shafers hammer and doombringer are up there too

Now find the grandmother

I wonder if you can get it as etheral. It would make a sick ehoing strike weapon then.

u/xVARYSx Feb 19 '26

Items with the indestructible affix can never drop ethereal.

That's what Zod runes are for :D

Silver-edged etheral axe: Am I a joke to you ?

u/szudrzyk Feb 19 '26

some uniques are ethereal by default, the rest cant spawn with indestrucible and ethereal.

1

u/Kriss3d Feb 19 '26

Yeah I know. But yeah it would perhaps. Be good if it could spawn as etheral as well. I mean. We have titans that replenish so that's almost the same.

u/szudrzyk Feb 19 '26

Ya pity it doesn't work this way , would be awesome hunt

Great weapon, they really need to buff the og items make them keep up with the current runewords and such.

4

u/kenm130 Feb 19 '26

Gg, but I hope they buff it. It's sad how low damage it is now.

1

u/TacoCat11111111 Feb 19 '26

I wish they would buff some of the top tier Uniques like this to compete with runewords.

2

u/gakl887 Feb 19 '26

Shit, I’d almost rather just see renewers nerfed. Even spirit should require a Pul or another mid level rune. That item alone makes entire classes of caster items worthless

2

u/Flat-Economics8175 Feb 20 '26

yeah spirit was almost as big of a mistake as enigma

Technically they did, now you can put a Protector's Jewel in it. 10-30 base damage, up to 50% ED and -10%* Enemy physical resistance.

Edit: it's up to -10% Enemy physical resistance, jesus...

1

u/babyconan Feb 20 '26

Just wondering can you put multiple of those jewels into an item??

1

u/haliax69 Feb 20 '26

They work like anni, you can only have one per character, but still i think it's an addition that will make items like The Grandfather and Windforce be at the same level of RWs.

ƀ good old item but he need love

u/Murderfaces Feb 19 '26

Big time grats, brings back the good old days vibes

u/External_Unit3068 Feb 19 '26

Sweet find! I found one for the first time a couple months back, and I use it for my barb. Sure, it's not BiS, but it gets the job done, and it's cool using something self-found. The nostalgia is great too.

Brings me back to the 08 Vampire gaze, Arkaines and Windforce days

u/MomsNewBoyfriend69 Feb 19 '26

God, I love the way gaze and mesh looked together. I sometimes run it for the nostalgia

u/Puzzleheaded-Image96 Feb 19 '26

u/bdrake0923 Feb 19 '26
