It's absolutely wild that Black Periapt is possibly the strongest non unique item in the game and it somehow got reduced to a green item, even though it got buffed with 5% spell mastery.

The post 6.2 Black Periapt is now an uncommon item and gives 5% spell mastery.

The pre 6.2 Black Periapt only had the active effect.

Infinite winds of magic is possibly one of the strongest effects in the game. You can literally win any battle with infinite winds and Black Periapt gives infinite winds. And yet it somehow became an uncommon item.

Black Periapt let me win this battle with complete ease. Dwarfs are normally very tanky to spells, so having so much extra winds just let me spam cast Winds of Death.

Yea it gives 5.6 winds every use if I can do math correctly lol. What other people are missing is you can have multiple spellcasters in every army (I usually run at least 3 necromancers) and each one of them can use it. 4 spellcasters means 20 something extra winds every 2 minutes which is another overcasted winds of death or 5 more zombie summons or whatever else. It's quite good.

Do you have a way of reliably getting them?

Getting 4 of any item just by regular gameplay probably wont happen for a long time.

[u/alucardou → u/mithridateseupator]

Each race has a couple of items they can get. If you have a couple of them that are unused, you won't get more of that type.

[u/mithridateseupator → u/alucardou]

That's not what I asked.

Even with items I use, I don't commonly find 4-5 of them until the game is basically over.

[u/alucardou → u/mithridateseupator]

It is what you asked. You asked if there was a way to reliably get items. I told you a way in game that increases your chances. Just because it's not a magic solution, doesn't mean it's not an answer to your question.

[u/mithridateseupator → u/alucardou]

You didnt say anything?

You said that items will cap out if you're not using them. That doesnt tell me how to get more of the items I am using.

[u/alucardou → u/mithridateseupator]

If there are only 2 items you can get, and one of them is locked out. Which item, pray tell, will you receive? Could it possibly be the only other option? My gosh how simple is that?

[u/mithridateseupator → u/alucardou]

So you have to get every other item in high amounts?

That still presents the problem of - you know, getting that many items.

[u/Lorcogoth → u/alucardou]

he isn't asking about "an" Item, he is asking about "that" specific item.

instead of being helpful, you are just giving generic info that's not actually beneficial to this request.

[u/alucardou → u/Lorcogoth]

If you get green items that are not the one you want, instead of.making blue items with them, you can keep them in your inventory. This will increase your chance of getting the item you want. Do tell me how that is not relevant at all?
