Alright guys, let me walk you through my whole thing trying to get them fancy ceremonial javelins in D2R by gambling. Been chasing these beauties for a while now, wanting that sweet +skills boost.
First Step: Getting Stupid Rich, Obviously
You ain’t gambling squat without mountains of gold, right? My main Barbarian became a pack mule. I ran countless Travincal council runs. Just smash, grab, sell everything not nailed down. Picked up every single crappy magic item, every gem, every rune for selling. Filled up that shared stash tab with gold stacks. Took ages, felt like a damn job. My Barb was swimming in cash, but my Amazon was gonna do the actual gambling, so I had to transfer fat stacks over.
Finding The Right Hood To Hit Up
Heard Anya in Act 5 after her quest is the go-to lady. So I zoned over to her frozen cave. Checked her inventory – mostly trash blues and whites like always. No sign of ceremonial javelins. Figured it was just bad luck on that roll. Needed more chances.
The Reset Game Started
Okay, here’s how it goes down:
- Buy junk: Grab a few random cheap blue items she’s selling. Didn’t matter what, just spend a little gold to make her change her stock.
- Step away: Portaled out to town real quick.
- Zone back: Went back into Anya’s chamber right away.
- Check again: Scanned her inventory fresh. Still nothing? Buy another piece of junk, port out, port in… repeat like mad.
Seriously, this part gets monotonous. Click portal, click portal, click Anya, scan inventory, sigh, buy junk, repeat. Felt like forever. Watching some dumb TV show just to stay sane through this grind. Kept pouring gold down the drain just resetting her store.
The Money Pit Got Real
Started with millions on my Amazon. Saw the stash tabs look lighter fast. Each reset costs gold for those junk buys, plus the time investment stung. My brain started yelling, “This is probably stupid! You’re wasting time!” But hey, I was committed.
Then… Wait, Was That It?!
After a ridiculous number of resets, shuffling back and forth like a ping-pong ball, I was zoning back in, half-asleep scrolling her wares… BAM. Spotted “Ceremonial Javelin” in the list! Heart skipped a beat. Checked the level requirement – it was 70, which my Amazon hit. THIS WAS THE CHANCE!
Clicked buy so damn fast, scared my own mouse finger would cramp up. Saw it land in my inventory. Opened it up, held my breath… Looked at the properties: +3 to Javelin and Spear Skills. YES! Exactly the mod I was praying for. Not perfect +6 maybe, but a massive upgrade. Stared at that blue text for a good minute, grinning like an idiot. All that gold draining away suddenly felt worth every piece.
Finally, Mission Half-Won?
Got myself a solid +3 ceremonial javelin! Gonna celebrate with this one, use it for a while before I lose my mind and maybe try gambling an even better one later. But man, that grind is real. You gotta want it bad. Hope this helps any others brave enough to try!
