I found my first Unreal Hood, and went to the Codex to start planning Golems Ultimate Farming Build. but then I discovered some unsettling knowledge. Mythical and Crystal Sets are on the same items, and I have other plans for the weapon. so I guess I’ll have to do the farm for Myth stones and Crystals separately thing. good thing I have been learning how to craft items, or I would be feeling lost right now.
yup. thems the brakes

The Codex has flooded me with Gifts! both Mythic items, the Crystal items, 2 Vortex items, an ice slime, Atheral Drain and a few other goodies. all just from climbing from 390ish to 408ish so far. now I just need CS/MS to make Golems Ultimate Farming Build. it is kind of sad, but I think that the farming build I have now might not be enough to help me get the things I need to make GUFB. I guess I will continue to climb until I can’t climb anymore, and hope the Codex gives me some more goodies.
in all seriousness, the farming builds i have created were only possible largely in part by collecting dust and unlocking key items i needed.
to farm well, means you need the gear to begin with. thus the vicious circle

I know, I have decided to unlock items by finding them first, and then using dust on the ones that are unlocked, kind of like having a deposit box at the bank. dust is the user fee to get the item out of the bank. 
I have used dust to unlock a few items, but I feel like I am missing out on finding the item as loot first. 
basically I have the items to make my farming build, but I need to plan it out first, and get the CS/MS to make it shine. I guess I will see how far I can go with the build I have now, and hope I can get better CS/MS as I climb.
I remember how it was before dust was introduced in 3.0, and even though I had good ideas, and found good ideas in the Forums, the difficulty in finding the right items made it easier to make a build without Legends. of course, I was still only crafting with the common crystals and myth stones. my poor weak builds. 
I got my first eternal fabled staff for 17k from the vendor yesterday 
nice @dickwad. I got an unreal hood over the weekend, and before I got online, I found a Rogue Eternal Unreal Hood. when I put affixes in there, they will be doubled? because of being on an Eternal item? just want to make sure.

they will be doubled but you cant reroll. you get one chance
thanks. since I found it, just have to worry about how much dust I have until I get the right affixes. but man, going to be a lot of myth stones if I don’t get the affixes I want. oh, another question. can I put an Obsidian on that? I know it wont be doubled, but was just wondering.
Use your highest level character (99) to topaz it . Provided the item is level 100 you generally get perfect rolls if you have fortunate perk
I have joined the EoT (Eternal Order [of] Toons). the green frame around my Toons picture looks really…green? having 6 Perks, I now dread the Ascending of my other character, who have no Perks yet. I think I am going to do the Hireling Method of Ascending the others.
I only let two do all the ascending and hire the others as hireling. They still get the hirer’s perks in 2 player
