Companions Galore! Joined a fellow DH clan-mate in a bounty run and I saw that he had all the companions out. So I asked him how he did it.  He informed me that it came from a set bonus. It's from the "Embodiment of Marauder" set and set bonus for 4 pieces. In another game another player gave me his double of [ Marauder's Spines ] and since I already had [ Marauder's Carapace ] and [ Marauder's Treads ] A gift from another player! Thank you! That makes 3 items! Fortunately I had a [ Ring of Royal Grandeur ] which lowers the set bonus requirement by 1. Unfortunately my ring is a low level version which dropped on another character so hopefully I get a level 70 in future runs.  Ring of Set Bonus!!! I am not sure if I will be running with this set for very long, the novelty of having all the pets out might not last too long. Not really interested in the sentry bonus cause I don't use sentries. 

This legendary templar relic dropped on a rift run.  Glorious!!! 

I was bored this afternoon so I decided to finish farming for the six (6) Black Rock Ledger pages, these are basically easter eggs that have no particular purpose It took me about eight restarts to get the page I wanted (I had all of the pages except page 16) threw away the dupes. You get it in Act II: Stinging Winds you have to look for an old ship with a grave digger outside talk to him and be careful of those exploding demons after the grave digger dies a page drops. Obviously this is an homage to a certain TV show... but which one? Can you figure it out without checking the wiki? hehe The Black Rock Ledger on Diablo 3 wikia - [ link ]

Saw this legendary item in the clan feed.  us.battle.net/d3/en/item/cape-of-the-dark-night

I have always been bothered by the patchwork look of Diablo 3 characters, the dye system really was not enough. I guess the folks at Blizzard got enough complaints or suggestions about it that they added a transmogrify option with Myriam the weapon enchanter.

Reaper's Wraps The plans & special legendary crafting material were both in my chest for the longest time. I really did not pay attention to crafting. Anyway, I heard Scott Johnson discuss it on the Frogpants The Diablo Show podcast and decided to farm for the rest of the ingredients and craft my own. It's quite annoying that you need whites to craft now. Sheesh. Got some advise from more veteran players in my clan and changed one of the properties from armor to critical hit chance. It took me three tries to get the stat I wanted. Haven't field tested it yet. But I am thinking it would be great for my hatred hungry DH build.

Found some builds on the internet. Maybe I will try this when I get tired of my current build. 

Finally broke down and bought the expansion a few weeks ago. I was able to level my DH to 70 with the help of some people in and out of my clan. Thank you! I also changed my build from ball-lightning to this one, I need to do some intense farming to change my gear so I can get rid of mobs quickly because I am too squishy.
