Armageddon fletch

I've been playing d2 for quite some time, but SP only.

Recently i picked it up again and saw my old char having an armageddon fletch ammy. Now i've been reading around the intrawebs a bit and apperently seen loads of threads and discussion this ammy is hacked into the game or w/e (seeing it has req lvl of 41 which is impossible or something)

But still i have this ammy, i've never been online, i've never traded, i've never hero edited.... And i'm pretty sure i just found it. So what's the deal with that???

Edit: Forgot to state it has the EXACT same stats as the famed duped ammy i've been reading about... (+2 sorc, 20%FCR, +18 str, +55 life, +59 mana, +23 res all)|||There's no way it's a coincidence. Did anyone else have access to your save files when you were not playing?|||Quote:

Nope, nobody. I've played over LAN with 1 friend of mine, and he's pretty much too stupid to backup save files.. So can't be that.

Might have found the ammy in pre v1.10 tho so might be related to that.

Sounds to me like it's hardcoded into the game somewhere

Can't really think of any other way i'd get the exact same ammy that's been so much discussed....

I'm really confused by this, not that it bothers me as i'm single player only and wasn't going to trade it anyway but just maybe this means some of the ammy's out there are actually legit?|||There's something you're not telling us.|||Quote:

And what would that be?

Don't think i have anything to gain by not telling you something

Also occured to me that maybe it's somekind of failed set/unique drop? Am getting quite curious about this whole thing now |||Quote:

It sounds like telling us that you saw an ad which said that you are the 1,000,000th visitor of a web page and when you clicked on it, you really got a prize.

The deal is that people the chance to find exactly that amulet again is so close to zero that people will simply not believe that it's no dupe, even if you really found it yourself. If I was you, I would stop debating that case, no matter what the real story is, to avoid being accused of cheating or lying or preparing the grounds to offer it in the single player forum - which you should never, ever do, for god's sake !!!

Just a friendly advice |||Quote:

haha well if people choose not to believe me that's fine, i'm just curious as to what the case with this **** really is..

Indeed the chance of finding the exact same amulet is tiny but i don't think it's an entirely random ammy. I'm just saying the original armageddon fletch might actually be legit, but merely a certain bug drop from an early patch... (a failed tal rasha's?) which i'm sure hasn't only happened to me and the original fletch maker/FINDER.

Might actually post this on the SP forum cuz it's an interesting case!

PS. i'm stubborn|||Failed set items become magical items and even then, Tal's amulet has a very low qlvl and it can drop from late normal mode on, despite its level req, so if it's a failed set item, its ilvl would be so low that the Armageddon fletch affixes wouldn't be possible.

The original item has probably dropped normally, but it as been duped massively since then. I think you have played around with an item pack in the past, but you just don't remember or you forgot to remove it when cleaning up your characters. There's no reason to start an argument about it, as we have no means to convince each other.|||I've never had an item pack anyway but yeh no way to convince anybody otherwise, just thought it's quite an interesting phenomeno! Just wish i knew just how mythical this ammy was at the time it dropped, and took note of the circumstances...

Ah well, seems a lot of sceptics are on here and i don't blame em, just thought i'd share that it's actually not an impossible drop and probably a bugged drop in some early patch!|||^^

More like there being more than a few people around here who crunch numbers and stats in their sleep.

Sounds too good to be true.
