As said at the begining change what your doing change where you go to farm or hunt, change your tactics be versatile in every aspect... Move on from Ugmahs go to the beholders, the liths, abo's there are many sorts of mobs in undark including some very challenging sragons...
Overall do not expect to have uber drops at your feet, lower your expectations and let yourself be surprised instead of crawling same area's just in hope of something good...

Then change what you are doing stop doing the same runs or same area's, even perhaps change your god perhaps to Lia ... Personally have not noticed any change in quality as seems to be your feeling aggreived ..
im allready lia. even better i have a luck stone also.
i even grind on the chicken level and they are all the same drops over and over again no matter what place u are. if you like the placebo effect of change places im glad for you.
and also that we kill every single boss everyday of the weak. that also include HARD SHALLY a few times.

I could list quite a few items I have found even in recent days that some would call uber like a belt of ancients with the likes of soak +10/ 15, bard spellslot level 5, AC +6, freedom, haste, and a few saves to various, and an immunity to daze spell... I have more examples of this too but when an item is good as this one I tend to keep them for use at another time or when I have time to craft it up further..
for a player that maybe never did a single boss, and recently start playing yeah they are super.
for us that kind of items you mention are piece of crap that goes directly to the seller on citadel. Maybe you have a bard that actually cast spells who knows, or you are happy cuz now you can have a +6 AC without the need of a crafter.
Oh my god and item with haste!, i save a forge stone yaaaaay!. Im so glad i dont have to waste a ******* Forge stone cuz i have 100 of those.
But Hey the pixie is going to be happy YUM YUM FOOD!!!

Am guessing when you talk of useless items you maybe refering to socketed items, will fill those sockets with spare socket gems then sell them .. Depending on the item or weapon you could get anything between 40 and 70 k maybe more if you craft said item up with those lesser forge stones you do not need to keep . like a white or green or a number of blacks..
You mentioned a +5 enh weapon that depending on type would sell for like 30 to 50 k craft it up a bit socket it too if you have either the option already or by adding a socketing gem stone to it... Visit the dwarf weapon master in boardermarch also the Juk (blackrose Fortress)... I am surprised occassional by the quality of what they offer... It is still very easy to get very rich on BSK...
do u really waste your time doing that?.
i dont even bother, both sockets and weapons go to the dwarven vendor.
and that happend if i ACCIDENTLY pick up one, cuz i dont pick up anymore that kind of items, waste of space and time to later have to organize.
i dont have any gold issues here, i cant remember the time i said hmmmmm i dont have money for this.

Recently I gave a new player 300,000 gold to help get started because I have like 250 million gold at least and items probably worth twiced that...
thank god you are here mother teresa.
i would tell you that you cant buy a single good item with that 250 million gold, but since your expectations are low you probably could find something on the shop yeah.
the only thing gold is good for is for craftings, that is on the only place gold goes bye bye in a blink of an eye. thats it.

Sure crafting is very important on BSK mostly to get the very best gear and weapons you need to craft them up just don't expect to pick up in a loot chest those sort of weapons you can ultimately craft to a level 40 useage...
actually you need to loot and then craft, if you really want good quality gear, you are not crafting a socketing shield or some item that way.
you dont craft on bad items its a waste of stones.

Bide you time sell you loot at the most profitable place probably Felfar in the citidal if valued by him at max then go to Akon and get a little more...
Basically what I am saying here is make the best of what you do find... You also mentioned +2 arrows as well. use that tool you found on that quest from Foxmore's marvale quest craft up the arrows with that afore you sell them... All this and when you either find a uber item or weapon you can use then craft that up to your hearts desire... It is a work in progress for many players even those whom have many many characters on their accounts it takes time to get one character just right even my best character still has to find 3 items and to craft them up...
good tutorial for new people, i would never waste time on this anyway..

Work at it then work some more takes time its not going to be handed on a plate for you...
ok so we kill hard shally like a whole year. and still we did not get a single of the special stones to not mention them.
handed on a plate you say? do you even know how much time it takes to kill hard shally?
