This afternoon i dropped this: And my face was like this: Did it happen to someone else? I'm certainly not the only one without the club membership so you're all free to use this thread to share your sadness.
If it makes you feel better, I have two of those. Now that I think about it, I don't know why that'd make you feel better. Oh well.
I felt the same when the Adventurer's Club item was Wym's Fiery Bangle. For the first time I regretted not being a member. (And my wizard is nearly always fire.)
My Club item for the Yellow Dragon adventure? Oh, nothing much. Only a Mordecai's Staff Of Magma. To rub it in I had just been taunted with some item with cones of cold. I would have frozen and immediately after burned every dwarf in Cardhuntria... I would have cried you a river and frozen the tears.
I'm not a club member, and I've missed heaps of great items from the club, including 2xStart Of The Inferno, 2xBlazing Shortsword, 2xSlippery Shield, Bleneth's Skull, St. Sebanna's Armor ... and many others. I actually try not to think about the stuff I've missed — but for those particular items I often think to myself "that would be really useful for this build".
The smart thing to do is to simply ignore the club drop, that worked well for me. Plus i already got two of those ;-).
Sadness to share. Last night Slippery Shield dropped in the club membership for me. I sat there for a good 5 minutes contemplating renewing my membership. In the end, I didn't. It kind of feels like a mistake today. Oh, well. Edit: I don't own one.
