I started my ironman a long time ago, shortly after Doombox's original videos. I ended up abandoning it shortly after completing all campaigns, and recently picked it up again last year. I started and finished GWAMM, and did a lot of rare hunting, and here is the best of what I've found.
The Chaos Axe and Eternal Bow each were found while I was farming the materials for my Obsidian Armor. I was very please I managed to find keep-worthy, max, old-school Q9s, it helped make the grind easier to find some all-time classic loot during it 😄
As far as fate is concerned, only the Obsidian Edge was a miracle, that was the ONE (1) FoW run I did to finally craft my Obsidian Armor, which I decided to commemorate such an occasion by completing not just a forge run, but a full run. What a commemoration, indeed.
Demon Fangs were my very first ZB rare dungeon drop, I remember I still had very simple 1k armor and Platinum Daggers at the time.
The Frog and Eaglecrest came from one-off ZBs, but to be fair, I've done a career of those farms+ZBs and never found them, so the challenge char reaps the rewards.
The both BDS were from a span of about 140-150 runs. Avg 23-25 mins/run with heroes.
The Dryad Bow was about 100-110 runs. Avg 22-24 mins/run with heroes.
The Emerald Blade was 139 runs. Avg 22-24 mins/run with heroes.
I still have the full screenshots and also some content of my dungeon runs on YouTube, if anyone was interested. At this point, I have 620k Asuran rep, 750k Vanguard rep, and 51 million exp.
Currently just focused on farming an Envoy scythe since I needed a break from dungeon grinding 😂ğŸ˜ğŸ˜
