Diablo II streamer finds 1-in-3-million item drop, instantly sells it for laughs

The Zod rune has a mythical place in Diablo II lore. The incredibly rare socketed item, which can make other in-game gear indestructible, has just a 1 in 2,987,183 chance of dropping from the game's highest class of enemy, according to one calculation.
To this day, it's not hard to find dedicated players admitting online that they've never seen a legitimate copy of the rune despite years of play (though duplicated versions made using glitches can be less rare).
So when Diablo streamer and speedrunner Kano saw a Zod rune drop during a livestreamed Diablo II: Resurrected run Wednesday (as noticed by GamesRadar), it was something of a legendary moment. And when Kano sold that rune for a relatively unimportant 35,000 in-game gold mere moments later, it was something of a legendary troll.
