Well then it was obviously duped, and perm doesn't really perm it forever, it can still disappear, you shouldn't really hold HR's and you should use them as fast as possible, or not trade for them at all and just go for the item you're trying to get with the runes. Thats why I said trading 50 Pgems for a SoJ is a big risk.
Yeah, the Swirling Crystal. You know what I meant. :pQuote:

If anyone finds a 4 socket polearm (not a spear) of at least decent attack or better, could you please hold onto it for me. A Partizan or Cryptic axe would be great, but I'll take whatever you find cause I'm having no luck. I have all the runes to make an Insight for my merc (would rather it be an Infinity but beggers can't be choosers).
Edit: Khaotic, what do you mean when you say "HR"?
SRL, I just found a 4 socket Grim Scythe if you're interested. I'll hang onto it until I hear from you.
Oh that'd be cool, thanks.
I'm usually on during the day (-6 GMT), will that ever work for you?
i.e. I just signed off for today.
Whereas I'm usually on 5-8 PM MST.
HR = high runeQuote:

So, I am in the process of moving, my roommate is moving in with her fiance and I'm getting my own place. The phone/dsl is in my roommate's name, and she told them to move the phone to her new place at the end of the month. Well apparantly the end of the month was yesterday afternoon, so I'm going to be without internet for a while. So I'm taking a forced hiatus, I'll be back as soon as I can get internet service again. Mulley, if you have the room please hang on to the polearm for me, or if you find a better 4 socket one replace it, and I will retrieve it as soon as I can. Sorry for the inconvience.
i would like that blade FM =)
Hey, Mully? I don't suppose you have Cleglaw's Pincers (The Gloves) do you?
Sorry gents, but I won't be on for awhile because my cousin is an idiot, so I can't even stay on the internet for more than five minutes at a time, much less actually play.
I, however, do have those Gloves.
(Mulley will be getting my account password soon if he needs to raid me).
Can you meet me on eoff/trout in a sec?
[EDIT] Oops. I didn't read the gist. :p
I just started a Golemmancer on USEAST, my good computers HD [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] the bed so I've only got my good old Imac now and Diablo 2 :p
Yes, I have the full set of Cleglaw's if you're interested GG.
Sure...and I still want that Amulet if you still have it.
Road Runner is mine on Monday. Yay, I can play again.
i'm looking forward to you playing SRL
Hey, SRL, I may have a weapon that may interest you.
I may of things that intrest you all =)
It is installed, and I will be on tonight. Yay for the cable guy.
Yay your going back on
Multi-shot lightning enchanted heirophants are scary.
And I got "Diablo walks the earth" on my game last night. I tried fighting him but didn't cause nearly enough damage for the rate that he was healing himself. Man....
Lucky. I've always wanted to try Uber Diablo but I've never been lucky enough when I'm in a Hell game. People need to sell more SoJ's!!
Omg! You lucky SRL!
Lucky, maybe, but not lucky enough. Couldn't beat him. Couldn't even scratch him for that matter. I just read that he has a 95% resistance to lightning, which makes me all but ineffective.
A couple whacks with a Prevent Heal weapon oughtta help...after that....*shrugs*
Yeah, in hindsight I should have gone and tried to find a "Prevent Monster Heal" weapon to buy somewhere before I gave up. Ah well. I think I'll be on tonight. I'm currently trying to make it to the Council. There's this heirophant unique that was multi-shot lightning enchanted lightning immune fire immune, which basically means I can't touch it and if I keep Mind Blasting it it will just kill my merc and shadow master. Maybe it will be different this time.
SRL, if you're playing an assassin, I found Bartuc's Cut-Throat if you want it.
Oh that would be awesome, thank you. Are you on now, because I'm about to go on my lunch break and I could swing home really quick.
Yes, I'm on right now.
Ok, I'll be on in like 25ish minutes.
Edit: I'm on now.
Edit2: Question, does the aura from an runeword stack on the natural aura of a merc? I just put Insight on my merc, and his Might aura seems to have been replaced with the Meditation aura instead of stacking on it. Is it just the animation of the Meditation aura overtaking the Might aura animation, or did the Might aura go away?
Hmm, that I don't know. Search around on some of the various Diablo II boards and I'm sure you can find the answer there.
I just pimp-smacked Duriel around and am moving into Act III in Hell now.
I'm back with a stable source, now. I'll be on tomorrow.
sorry if i h avent been on lately, i've been playing FF7: DoC
Death to hell Mephisto!!! Muah hah hah hah! And he wasn't even lightning immune.
And the auras do stack, it's just that with my merc at least, my merc has to get into some fights before his aura turns on.
Auras from skills and aura from weapons stack. They both activate at roughly the same time, but due to the nature of DII and internet play, it can take anywhere up to five second for either one to activate. Usually, Auras switch animation (unless by the time the other one will show animation, it will have ended, in which case, it doesn't show at all).
For example, a Barbarian casts BC and BO on a Paladin with Concentration and Azurewrath Blade equipped. The animation will switch from one to the other based on priority. It will at first show Conc, then Sanc, and then BC or BO based on order of casting. Usually.
Baal, Diablo, and Mephisto are not immune to anything. They just have hella lot of HP.
FYI Tavrobel, we didn't use/take anything from your mules.
I noticed. I was just on a few minutes ago.
All very good to know.Quote:

Mully, I have a present for Thunkk. It's an IK Maul! You're almost done with the IK set!
Oh wow, that's awewome! :hyper:
woah i LOVE diablo 2!!
just thought id put that out there...
So, a request for everyone. It will take me a while to level up my assassin enough to wear everything, but if anyone finds any of the Natalya's Odium set, could you hang onto them for me. I have already found Natalya's Shadow (the loricated mail, one of the two hard ones to find), that just leaves the scissor suwayyah, grim helm and mesh boots. Thanks in advance.
And Mulley, are you interested in the Trang Oul's set for you necromancer? If so, I found Trang Oul's Claws (the gloves).
Yes, I'm collecting Trang Oul's. Thanks, but I have the gloves, armor and shield/head.
Hey, Mulley, how long has it been since you updated that homemade chart of DII players? Also, I may not be getting on a whole lot, since my DSL broke and my phone line is dead and I'm waiting for Cable.
You will love cable. It's noticably better than DSL, and it never dies. :D
The rather unfortunate part is that I had gotten and kept the DSL for all of nine hours before my phone line was completely shut off by those Communists at Verizon that used to have a democratic system of Bell Atlantic. I USED to have DSL before, from 2001-2003, and then had to move to Dial-Up (a nightmare).
I will never turn off my computer again.
Wow, that chart really needs to get updated.s
Yeah, sorry, I haven't updated it in at least a month. xD
If people want to post any updates I can make them to the page.
We don't really the channel. At all, if ever. I'm not sure if we need levels, or difficulties, but I'll post mine if you want. Sets are kinda useless, since we can find whatever we want as often as we want especially since some of us can find 2 Gheed's Charms in the span of a week.

Another Assassin man, alright. :D
So, I apparently SUCK using melee characters. I can imagine I was grossly unprepared, but still, I want to say my lv 26 Martial Artist died at least ten times against normal Diablo last night. My resistances were in the 30s, which was probably my downfall, it's just that half the time I couldn't even hit Diablo let alone charge Tiger Strike. That was a very frustrating experience. Ugh!
That's unfortunate. Tsu, you play games WAY too much, because anything above ninety must require, what, 40 games worth of Baal/Chaos Runs?
In addendum to my Cable solution (which will not be enacted for several weeks), I need Mulley to log onto my account for all of my characters at least once sometime soon, so they don't expire.
So, I had to start my assassin over. Putting too many points into Claw Mastery without putting more points other places first, which was dumb of me. The attack rating bonus wasn't enough to be worth it. She's doing much better now than she did last time, my merc even stayed alive whilst I killed Duriel last night. I'll probably be on again tonight.
I was trying to save up some money in hell and was killed three times in under an hour. Not the best way to play... :cry:
In hell, at the start of my game, I usually take all of my money out of savings and drop it on the ground outside of the stash. Yes, you run the risk of lagging out of the game and loosing it all (which has happened to me twice), but if you die you won't lose any money. You just have to remember to pick it back up before you sign off.
Now you know how I felt the first time we fought Diablo.Quote:

Yeehaw, I'm back, at least for a few hours anyways.
The Ancients kicked my ass last night. I only tried once, but I just wasn't going to win. Even with both my merc and shadow master, then all still seemed to attack just me, and I couldn't handle it. *sigh* I guess I'll think of something, melee characters are so *ugh* when it comes to bosses.
Edit: Ancients are dead, it took a few more tries but I guess I just got unlucky the first time. I think I'm going to item hunt before I fight Baal.
Another serious lack of playtime. The last time I saw someone was Mulley and SRL on Monday, doing separate things for me. This is terribly unfortunate, but if there is little desire to play DII, we might as well close up shop. Good thing, too, because I lost everything on my Multi-Shotzon, so at least my loss is supported by the loss of everything else.
Expect PMs.
my good characters are most likely expired :\
but dont close up. so we can always play :)
Yeah, I've been playing alone a lot lately.
I can start a new character with you if you want?Quote:

Yeah, Tav and I were wondering what happened to you. Don't worry, we didn't play for long after you DCed. I didn't know we were starting new characters, I guess I could too. Don't know which one I'll do.Quote:

I shall log onto Battle.net either later this day or tommorow.
Hopefully some of you will be on.
I'll break out battlenet soon. I've dabbled a little bit on single player lately already.
Excellent *rubs hands together in evil expectation*
I used to play Diablo 2 a lot, I'm starting up again now.
How do I get your guys account names? I'll add you's.
Or is there a game name everyone plays in?
Game is usually eoff//trout, eoffnm//trout, or eoffhell/trout, USEast on Ladder.
Player information can be found at various places in this thread.
Thanks a lot, I can't seem to find my install disc right now....I think my friend may have borrowed it :(. I'll probably find it though lol
Alright, I just finished setting up my new souped up Merry-Christmas-to-me Dell XPS 700, and I installed Diablo II. My old monitor was really dark for some reason, even with all the brightness features at their brightest setting. But it looks much better now, so I might enjoy playing even more now. Yay for Christmas.
Dell is evil xD They gave me the wrong parts sometimes. And my friend forgot to give the disks back.
I'll be on spoiradically on the weekdays between 4 and 10 PM EST. Weekends, I'll be on randomly (if anything I'll be on Warcraft III). I encourage people to get on more, as exams and tests or work allows.
You play warcraft 3?!?! o.o Friend said he'll bring it to my house tomorrow.
Dude! I got a Dell too! :pQuote:

Ohh, my.
I love my new computer. And with my new graphics card and 20" Wide Screen flat panel monitor, I have the option in the video section of turning on the "perspective" point of view, and I quite like that mode.
Does anyone else have the perspective turned on?
Yes, and it rocks
I've never noticed a difference with the perspective turned on or off. What's the difference?
It's slight, but it's a more inclined view vs. a more overhead view.
Perspective makes me lag. I'm not sure why, but it does.
Even after my attempts at revival, it would seem that gaming isn't quite as high, even when I'm on, and I'm on pretty much at any point after 4 PM, weekdays, and mostly on during the weekends. I should hope I can see the rest of you sometime soon, if you can.
If you desire, perhaps you should list when you are able to be on during this XMas season.
EDIT:Ohh, btw, GG, I know you are there, so I need an xfer, please, if you have time.
ADDITION:I can read your thoughts user profile.
ADDENDUM:KH-Cloudy, I also know that you are there. This is a good excuse to get on.
MAS POSTARIENDO: Ohh, God, I need an xfer so bad.
Too bad I'm on the european realm.
Ok ok i'll get on...
Whereas i had a massive computer related meltdown, and had to reformat. I'm gonna try and upload D2 soon, though.
Ok i'll get on tomorrow lol
Sorry for double post.
My account expired. Gonna make a new one called Kikazu
EDIT: Forgot to change realms lol
Worry not about accounts. I already got the transfer from SRL (Which was very nice). Simply remake it and start over. Now that I have two MFers, I can rack up the items nicely, including Mulley's finds, assuming he has gotten on before expiration.
Don't forget, USEast Ladder, non Hardcore.
Bone Necro > Barbarian, but Barbs have Item Find, which was sadly, the major source of my humble wealth.
Transfer?
Take items from one of the characters you have and give them to another character. You however cannot do this by yourself (without danger of losing your stuff) because you can only have one character active at a time.
Like, I have two assassins, one of whom has Bartuc's Cut Throat greater talons. I want the other assassin to have it. So I can go into a game, drop the claws on the ground, leave the game, enter the game with the other assassin, pick the claws up, and they are hers. However, this is dangerous to do by yourself because your game is likely to go away in the time it takes for you to log off and back on, and the stuff on the ground goes with it. But having another person there negates that danger because the game won't close (unless that person lags or something, but in the time it takes for someone to lag you can probably log off and back on safely).
I know how you transfer, just transfer...what?
A bunch of items, including uniques, runes, gems, and useless set items that have been replaced with better items.
It's already been done. Thanks for the concern. I may need one in the near future.
OMG IT WON'T STOP LAGGING!!!
That's unfortunate.
Anyways, I know it's finals week, so I don't expect anyone to get on (assuming you go to College). After that is XMas, so I don't really expect anyone to play during then, either. But if you can, find the time. Inversely, I shall be finding MORE time to play, especially raising the Bone Necromancer I started with Tsukasa to level 75. I might even make a Druid.
What's the highest you can find on a jewel tha say "Requirements -X%"? I know a Hel rune gives -15%, but has anyone found anything that goes any higher?
Suffix: of Freedom, Requirements -15%
Arreat says so.
Gentlemen, keep your eyes peeled for a 4Os shield, ANY 4Os shield.
Ok, another question.
Do you think it wise to use a Jewel of Freedom on Natalya's Shadow to take the level requirement down from 73 (or possibly two, it has two sockets)? Furthermore, do you think it wise to use the socket reward from act 5 on Natalya's Mark, and then use a Jewel of Freedom on that to take the level requirement down from 79? Or should I just wait it out and use the sockets for something better?
I never use any sockets to lower the requirements on equipment. I think they are there for impatient players for the most part. I know it's tempting now to use a socket to lower the requirements, but just think, once you gain those levels you can put that socket to much better use.
The other option is to use a socket to lower the requirements but remember what the original requirements are. Then once you've reached the original requirements, use a Hel run to clear all of the sockets and put something better in.
Sine his asn is level seventy-some already, he won't really be going anywhere unless he does a Hell Baal run. However, it's probably a better idea not to have to use a Jewel (or Hel for that matter), run some games, and equip it when you can. You save Hel, the Jewel, the time invested, and can put something better in, if you are going to put something in at all (lol ptopaz).
For the most part, I don't really recall "minus to req'd" as stackable.
Then again, I'm all for Baal runs and impatience.
The set is for my martial arts assassin, who is only level 50 right now in nightmare. I guess I'll just wait it out. If I unsocket and resocket the armor I'll lose one socket, so that's out. But I might do it with the weapon if I find it early enough, because that doesn't have a socket in the first place.
You don't lose any sockets when you unsocket. You clear the sockets, you don't remove the sockets from the item. So if you have a 4 Socket Armor with some of the sockets filled and you don't like it, you combine the 4 Socket Armor and a Scroll of Town Portal and a Hel Rune in the cube and it removes any items that are socketed in the 4 Socket Armor, leaving you with an empty 4 Socket Armor.

Thanks for the info mulley, I have a few Hel runes on some of my other characters, and I come by a -15% requirements jewels every once in a while anyway. And I also wouldn't be wasting the socket reward if I socket the weapon. ......I don't know, I guess I'll think about it.
Tav, if not this afternoon, I'll definately be on this evening. It depends on what I do for my lunch break.
Magic Boner is now level 44, and begining the second quest in Act II
As of this point on, Mulley is no longer allowed to xfer with me, because Blizzard hates it most when he actually drops more than a few items on the ground in an attempt to move items. He is punished by losing said items by disconnection of said "me."
Also, we are moving games, because it would seem that Blizzard is keeping an eye on us. Probably something to do with the xfers and frequent logging on and off of said "me," so, from this point on, all games should be held in games that represent some letters of your name, with the same password. We should stop using eoff/trout. I will mostly be playing in nuke/nuke.
My APB for Natalya's Odium items is still in place. I now have the armor and the boots, I just need the helm and the weapon. Also, if anyone comes across a 4 socket Partizan (yes, specifcally a partizan), I would be most ablidged if you save it for me (if you don't need it yourself).
Nominus, I'm assuming you are in nightmare mode?
Wow, I dumped a bunch of those in a NM Cow game.
Anyways, I'm on now.
CORRECTION: I was on, then b.net kicked me off.
APB:
4Os shield, preferably of the Monarch type (lowest str requirement)
Anything with +Resists or +skills for me
Anything with +Necro skills (basically, anything that doesn't suck), for Mulley
YesQuote:

Yeah, I'm not too happy with D2 right now. Lost my Trang'Ouls gloves and armor and my SOJ. :cry:
So... I have 29 Perfect Gems and 4 Perfect Skulls...
How do I make these things turn into a SoJ?
You don't. I don't know how many times I explained this, but you trade 40 PGems away for an SoJ.
Or, for any item that you want, for that matter.

Really, I am quite the n00b in all things online Diablo play. The feasible prospect of obtaining a SoJ is something new to me, so I am stumbling about, as you have noticed.
So, tell me, how exactly does the SoJ come about? Does someone already have it and you trade 40 Pgems for it as a standard form of currency, or is that you simply open a trade menu, trade 40 Pgems for anything, and someone recieves a SoJ? Or what? I am really lost save for one aspect of all this:
Someone gets a SoJ, and many times it's not legit.
You go into the chat and spam Trading 40pgems for SoJ, or make a game called 40Pgems 4 Soj, then someone will come in with a SoJ or reply in chat and you'll do the trade.
To Khaotic:
The amount of duped Non-Ladder SoJs is close to 95%. On Ladder, the figure is closer to 50%. While I don't suggest trading 40 PGems for an SoJ, it's simply goes to show how much value 40 PGems are actually worth. Ladder SoJs disappear within a week, Non-Ladder disappear within the month, depending on how much Blizzard decides to suck on any given day.
Trading SoJs for PGems:
You open the trade menu, and you put in every single one, manually. Of course, you have to make sure that the person has space, and you as well. Most 40 PGem trades are done in private games. Public games requesting to trade away 40 PGems are usually to figure out whether or not the buyer will bite. If, for say, the person wants an SoJ, and someone with an SoJ happens to want 40 PGems, they will open the trade menu, just like any normal trade. There's no mysticism about it. Think of it as a normal trade; it just happens to involve SoJs.
Why 40 Pgems?:
Oddly enough, for such an easily attainable set of items (40PGems), people are willing to trade many nice things for it. I've seen as high as Ber and Jah for 40 PGems, but never Zod. Who knows what people do with 40 PGems after they get it, but it does seem to be acceptable everywhere, with an amorphous value that is almost always acceptable to the person who wants those 40 PGems (like 1990s American money). Maybe they trade something away for the 40 PGems, then they trade for a better item, like say, for instance, player with SoJ trades it away for 40 PGems, then using those 40 PGems, trades it for a higher rune.
History Lesson:
SoJs are duped, because at one point on Battle.net, people would dupe SoJs continuously, and they would stick. If you think about it, pretty valuable, +1 to all skills, +mana, etc. As such, it was not uncommon for someone to have 40 or more SoJs. It was considered "currency," for example, a Harlequin Crest Shako might've been worth might have been worth ten SoJs (I know, right?). When Blizzard finally cracked down on this, they released the 1.10 patch, encouraging people not only to let go of duping, but putting those extra SoJs to use, selling 6000 or more SoJs to vendors, activating Uber-Diablo.
The world is ever-changing:
Nowadays, while value can still be determined in SoJs, it is more popular to count value of item by "hr" meaning "High Runes," such as Cham, Ber, Ist, etc., except Zod, which is the highest, and is therefore, essentially equivalent to two of everything.
Pgems are used for rerolling.
That, too.
They also can be used to increase resistances in Shields, or add MF (if you happen to trade away PTopaz).
Well, not Amethyst.
EDIT: They also upgrade higher end gems.
Can you get highr than 40 PGEMS
Yes, but not with one trade screen. At most, you can hold 80 PGems if I'm not mistaken.
40 Inventory. 40 Stash.
EDIT: Technically, 81; you can quit a game whilst having your mouse pointer holding a Gem.
So the SoJ does not "magically" appear, then, when and if you make a trade involving 40 PGems? One person must start with it then? 40 PGems are basically, for some odd reason, a form of currency equivalent to 1 SoJ?
I just want to be sure, because for some reason, I was thinking that one could simply trade 30 PGems and then a SoJ would magically show up. I read/heard/saw/thought this when I was recovering from surgery and infections blah blah blah at the time though...
No, the SoJ must be an actual quantity that is owned by one of the participating members (duped, or legitimate).
40 PGems are worth anything from 2Os'd equipment, to the second highest rune, Cham.
Weirdly, trading away 30 PGems will not get you anywhere close to what you want as compared to acually having all 40 PGems, and you will get eternally laughed off of Battle.net if you did attempt to only use 30.
What is with people's obsession of obtaining 40? That's just weird...Quote:

Maximum inventory space per square is a quantity of 40.
In other words, if you count all of the squares in your inventory, there are forty of them.
I was going to kill Mephisto just a few minutes ago, but then I got the privelage of the fabled OMFGWTF LAGMONSTER...
Magic_Boner is now level 54, and on the final quest of Act III. I will log back on in an hour or so.
I found a Nagalring if anyone wants it, by the way.
7 more PGems!
I need your account names again >_>
THat would be a nice replacement for my lost SoJ if you don't mind Nom. :)Quote:

I got that extra point by quitting Diablo II a few years back after the lagmonster decided to make me lose my Cat's Eye, Highlord's Wrath, and Mara's Kaleidoscope on Ladder during an xfer, because I wanted to make my MF Barb better.
That turned out well.
The game is Nommy Nommy/yumyum
Not just Nommy. There are two Nommy's.
EDIT: I am going to go eat food now... I'll be back on later. I'll PM you Mully.
New APB:
4Os Flail, and the Vex rune. Those who comply will be rewarded with...
DEATH
*Apparently, I already have Pul, Thul, and Ko
EDIT: Started a Druid.
I found IK's Belt if anyone wants it.
2 PGems to go now. I may ask one of you to handle the trade, seeing the degree of my naivety, if you wouldn't mind. I don't know how to tell if it's a dupe or not, and I hardly know anything of the "economy" of Diablo II.
Depending on the character type, starting with an SoJ for 40 PGems is not the wisest thing. This is true, because you want a base for your equipment. If you have a duped SoJ, then you just traded away a bunch of your time for little to no reason, and you are set back by alot. If you trade them for something, say a Harlequin Crest Shako (+50% MF) or high rune (like, say, Vex), then you will either find it easier to get new Gems, or have a strong bartering item to use.
Naivete has nothing to do with the core of the situation.
What are PSkulls worth?
Not as much as other Gems, but still kind of useful.
Arreat Says: rerolled Rare items
3 PSkulls + SoJ + Rare item = socketed rare item.
1 PSkull + SoJ + Rare Item = rerolled Rare item, but the item level is reduced (suckier mods)
6 PSkulls + Rare item = rerolled Rare item
And some other, not so useful things.
Gems, adversely, are used to upgrade runes, reroll magic items, and are alot more useful. +Resists on Shields.
EDIT: SRL, I hope you get on.
ADDITION: In case that wasn't a big enough hint, get on, please.
Alright, SRLkungfu killed nightmare Baal (without dieing too :D ), so I can now do nightmare cow run with her. Fun stuff, but not going to hell until I am MUCH better prepared.
Nice, SRL.
I hope everyone had a happy holidays, and so forth, and generic comment about quality of presents, including Flash Drives, an Animaniacs DVD, House season 2, and so on and so forth. Continue further with a general desire for a person to help go through Hell with, time provided, a 4Os Flail, Vex, or a 3Os Helm. At the very least, said person needs an xfer from whoever happens to get on next, or the next person who sees this.
Vague and heard-of thanks are in order.
Tav, I'll be getting on around 8:00 or 9:00 tonight, if that is of any aid.
Uggh, another d/c while xferring with Khaotic.
Lost a Sander's Wand (I have four), Minotaur Ancient Axe (it's good, but no one uses it), and a bunch of < Amn Runes and Gems. I don't think I'll be on until tomorrow, I'm so distraught.
God ******* ******* pi*** of ****, the server kicked me off and won't let me log back on to my account. I had my armor on the floor, and I lost the Boneflesh (actually the one that Tav gave me).
Ugh......
Ok, well I guess I'm done for the night.
Edit: I found another Goldwrap if anyone wants it.
Thanks again for the stuff, SRL. I'm done for the day, since my lag refuses to settle.
Someone here remind me to go kill Mulley.
Remember to kill Mulley.
LOL I screwed up one of my Spirit Runeword Swords. Wasted an Amn on it, of which I do not have a great multitude of (should've checked a little closer). The Runeword looked like TalIthOrtAmn instead of TalThulOrtAmn. Not only that, there goes a 4Os sword. Stupid Ith/Thul looking so similar!
Time to go dump it off in a normal free game.
You'll love this progression of trading, lmao!
+20 Life Charm < Mal < Cham
All I need to do is find more +20 Life Charms, and I should be set. Apparently small Life charms = big hit amongst the Hell frequenters. 40 PGems works just as well.
Who do I have to kill again? I completely forgot!
I have a Thul and another Amn if you need it.
I know they are really rare, but does anymore have a Jah and/or Pul? *big huge puppy dog eyes*
I've got a Pul, but it's for HOTO. If I can get something by cleaning out my inventory worth of items for better items and get another Pul in the process, I'll give you it. But I'm not coming on tonight.
I've got plenty of Thuls, and I only really need Amn if I can actually find more 4Os swords to make Spirit.
Surprisingly enough, Spirit Swords are worth more than Spirit Shields (a little odd), and go for as high as an hr.
Alright, holidays are over people, lets get it back in gear. :D
SRLkungfu has reached level 73, so I can now wear that armor I was waiting for. And might I say, I am wearing a little less than 100% MF, and I have finding unique stuff left and right in Hell, am I just getting really lucky? Uniques are good, but I have yet to find the other two pieces of Natalya's Odium, which is a little argh. I have to wait until level 78 to wear the weapon anyway, so it's not so bad. Also, getting to the Countess I lost about 1.6 million money. I would have put all my money on the ground, but it was lagging and I didn't want to lose it. A lot of good that did. The lag monster also took a few uniques that I left on the ground that I didn't have room for that I was going to pick up after I finished that game. Oh well.
Tav, immediately upon fighting some monsters in hell I came across a 3 socket Monarch, a 5 socket Scourge and a 6 socket Phase Blade. I was rooting for something 4 socket, but it didn't happen. I'll keep looking. And no Vex yet.
I am looking for the runes Pul and Jah (I have Io) to make a Dream helm for my merc. Don't know if that's the best choice, but he already has Duriel's Shell which is maxing his resists in Hell, which is nice for those lightning enchated monsters. I'm thinking that my Shadow Master could probably go through Nightmare by herself, she recently only ever dies when I run too far away from her and the game decides that her death is the only way to solve the distance problem. And the level 15 Holy Shock aura sounds nice.
So SRLkungfu has beat Act I in Hell, but I'm afraid to go into Act II. It was one thing with my trap assassin who could stay back while the traps killed things, but my martial arts assassin will be taking the blunt end of a lot of lightning enchanted monsters in Act II with a lightning resist of -40. Even with a maxed lightning resist, my merc will still have a problem dealing with that magnitude. My level 25 Shadow Master has a resist all of 73, and if she casts Fade at level 13 it will give her another 58 to resist all, for a total of 131 resist all, thus making her immune to elements (she has no cap or nm/hell penalty :D ). But I have no control over that, she can be sketchy every once in a while. Eek.....I'll probably try to brave it later today I suppose.
And on a side note, for a melee character, with the exception of letting the merc finish off the monster, is there any way to escape the corpse explosion of a fire enchanted monster?
Let's rock, gentlemen. As it tuns out, there are no females, yet.
No 4Os anything? That's a shame. However, keep that 6Os Phase Blade. I recently saw a series of games looking for those. I don't think the 5Os Scourge is worth too much, since Flail are specifically used as to create low Str/Dex/Level weapons that have +skills, such as Call to Arms (+1 to all skills, and +to BOrders and BCommand). There are a few recipes with 3Os shields.
Don't know what to say about Dream. Holy Shock + Holy Freeze seems nice. Shadow Masters = own.
No, unless you have 75+ Fire resistance, which will still probably kill you. The only REAL way to escape Corpse Explosion is having mega loads of HP. I heard that Mercs/Pets/Summons don't take damage from Corpse explosions, but don't quote me on that.
EDIT: I also need to xfer my gear back to my proper characters.
ADDITION: Got the xfer, but lost 2 Spirit Swords along with it.
Hey, did bnet kick you or something?
Edit: Just like it kicked me....:tongue: I'll get back on for a minute and be on for a while if you get back on. Sorry again about your Spirits, I swear I didn't take them. (Cause you know, Assassins use claws and all that good stuff)
Got kicked when I was switching mules.
Well, that's the end of that. Time to go make myself more Spirits and waste a bunch of more runes.
I'm never moving Spirits during normal xfer sessions ever again.
EDIT: WTF BNET DISABLED MY ACCOUNT
Yeah, it's happened to me before. They're like "you can't login right now, your account is disabled. Try again later." It sucks.
That's it, I can't handle this. My blood pressure simply cannot take this now.
I'll be on an a week.
Do you guys play in ladder? Game is eoff right? Never see anyone there....
I really need a Nats Claw if anyoen has one, or any other generous free items. My account on Diablo 2 is RV_88.
Magic_Boner (Lvl. 71) is traveling through the first Act of Hell, albeit slowly. Even with a multitude of charms, my magic resists are a scary sort of negative...
And my Mercenary is dropping in a few hits... So I am constantly running around, which is time-consuming and frustrating...
I am currently on the Countess quest.
Oh, it's all on that site. We'll i'd like to sign up. I used to play Diablo 2, just started over. My character is low level, but will be getting high very soon. Trap assasin. Battle net I.D. is RV_88, character name is Lite_ASN.
Jesus Christ, I'll never find my Cham again.
Or my Spirits; B.net disables me even after I log off a character just once, now.
EDIT: Screw Diablo, I'll be on Warcraft 3 if anyone needs me. Just add the @Azeroth to my name and you should be fine.
Yeah, I've burned out on D2 ever since it killed our game and I lost all my good equipment for my necro. I still log on to keep my characters active, but that's about it.
It must be my presence:
You guys alwasy experience the most tragic affairs whenever I begin playing regularily...
And Hell isn't so bad now. I just realized how awesome Bone Prison can be, not to mention somewhat humorous. Even with around 140% MF, I seem to be finding very, very little rare and unique or set items, but meh...
I did, however, find this bow, if anyone may like it:
I was just watching a House episode, since I got the second season DVD for Christmas from my cousins. It was the one about the athlete and his manager. As it turns out, he supposed had cancer and a myriad of other symptoms. However, when he came to the hospital, he just got worse after crashing in a bike race. So it was that House cured him, by explaining that all of his problems were being solved by the athlete's blood doping and hyperbaric chamber self-enhancement. The moral of the story is that to cure ourselves of a debilitating disease, we must dope ourselves.
We need new blood. Someone get TUH, LunarWeaver, Chemical, I Am Stoner, and Dragon Mage in here.
EDIT: Ok, I just did an inventory. As it turns out, I lost my Cham Runes, and all but two of my Spirit Swords. What a day to be me. Screw D2.
If anyone finds that Cham or my Spirits, remember that they are mine.
I'll try whoring myself a bit.
I'm updating my patch now, but for some reason I have no sound.
Check your options to make sure that all your sound preferences are on, if you want them. Otherwise, your sound card needs an imba update. Sound really isn't necessary once you've played the game more than once.
Also, if you making your account, account name and character name are requested.
USEast Ladder.
USEast was my only option.
Account name theundeadhero :rolleyes2
Character name theundeadhiro, because some wanker into necromancy stole my name :mad2:
I have an amazon on level eight right now who just beat the Blood Raven and explored the tombs. She's concentrating on spears/javelines with a skill increase in mostly passive abilities.
Make sure that it is Ladder, but I'm sure you know what you are doing. I think.Quote:

On my way to slay Andariel.
EDIT: Not anymore, and got bored before I got to Andy, so meh...
I did find the Undead Crown Crown, though...
EDIT2: Went on some more and found Hwanin's Bill, along with Frostburn Gauntlets.
I've got Hawanin's Set's Helm, if anyone wants to combine them. I might be able to use those gloves on my Necro/Druid.Quote:

And you can do it with the higher runes too, but you need a specific gem to go into the mix (not that we get that many high runes). It might clear up some space on a few of your mules.
For some reason, I get to the third floor of the Maggot Lair and bnet decides I need to stop playing and when it kicks me it immediately deletes the game. This has happened three times now, it's getting a little annoying. Maybe today will be different.
Spirit Swords. I made four of them, and all but two are gone. The Shield isn't technically even mine. It's Maxx Power's that he gave to me for free. I would consider synthing my runes, but some of the lower ones can go into some very nifty things. I can never be too sure, incase someone might want a trade and overpay it. I'll probably need a Cube on Mule, so I may need an xfer.
If you crash every single time you head into Maggot Lair 3, it'll keep happening. Either get someone else to do it, or try getting a rush.
Tav, since you already started your collection, I calculated how much it would take to make a Vex from El runes (cause I'm REALLY bored at work).
111,577,100,832 El runes
1,889,568 chipped Topaz
629,856 chipped Amethyst
209,952 chipped Sapphire
69,984 chipped Ruby
23,328 chipped Emerald
7,776 chipped Diamond
2,592 flawed Topaz
864 flawed Amethyst
288 flawed Sapphire
96 flawed Ruby
32 flawed Emerald
16 flawed Diamond
8 Topaz
4 Amethyst
2 Sapphire
1 Ruby
And about 100 hours of imbuing.
And that is what a Vex is worth. :tongue:
Edit: And you would need over 14 trillion to make a Zod. Good lord.
Thank God I am here to help alleviate your boredom by using a graphing calculator.
And as for the Imbuing, that's not true. The recipes don't even call for Rare items.
I'll never find that 4Os flail, though.
As far as I read on gamefaqs.com, they added recipes on the 1.10 patch that allow you to imbue high runes for higher runes with the addition of a certain gem in the mix.Quote:

I have yet to test these, but later I'm going to go find some chipped Amethysts and Topaz and try it, I have quite a few Amn and Thul runes taking up space.
If anyone wants a Nagalring (26%MF), Goldwrap Belt (80% Gold, 30% MF), Felicitious Ring (26% MF), simply let me know.
And Tav, I found a use for the Frostburn Gauntlets, so I am not giving them out anymore - sorry.
I wandered about in Normal Catacombs for around three minutes and came across a most beautiful item:
The Gull Dagger
Made me a very happy individual.
That's still synthesis. There's no need for Rare Items, just Gems and the lower runes.
Gull Dagger. I'm going to kill you. Both of you get on now.
Heh, alright. I'll be getting on Battle.net in a few minutes time.
YAY, me, SRL, Nominus, and GG got on, that's four people at one time!
A record. Unfortunately, SRL was mired by inability to join my games, Nominus lost half his stuff that we wanted to give away, GG had no idea what was going on, and I got d/ced again. But four people is progress, AND I synthed my runes together, and got my stuff onto my new Paladin.
I lost a Horadric Cube, but my Necro and Barb can both attain theirs once again, if need be.
