1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I'll try to answear though I'm a 1.07 newbie:
(( RE charms (look I even use the pro 1.07 peoples answear formatting :grin:)
Because the reroll recipe seems to eb broken in 1.07, iirc it's something about always gettig na really, realyl low ilvl, hence makign good cahrms impossible. Don't know how often they drop, but the chests can drop all sizes fo charms. )) -listen to jae :grin:

Re walk wing:
Yes, the area level must be at least high enough, but it doesn't matter if it's higher, it can still drop.

Re crafting:
Greater gets better automods than lesser (the preset mods) but otherwise crafting greater stuff doesn't give a greater chance of nicer additional affixes, so a greazter craft doesnt guarantee a better craft, just better pre-set craft properties.

Edit: I'm not sure if it's called auto mods, but I'm reffering to the mods that a craft guatantees (like blood gloves guarantees cb, ll, +life etc)

Edit2: @Jae: while you are still here, is it realyl worthwhile to rack/chest pop or anythign in nihly's temple? I mean ofc it's worth it since you can rack at all, and with a high A_lvl as well, but compared to lk I mean? Iirc you can't rack bashers in lk, but anything else?

Edit3: Also, big thanks to yiuman, I reciecved teh sheet, but I have yet to open and check it as I can't veiw excel from this comp. muchos grazias

@yiuman: Would it be possible for you to send me the sheet, too? That would be awesome! (mail: lindi.rgbg AT gmx DOT de) Since my laptop is still broken, it's not that urgent and my answer might take some time :)
When racking, you don't want to tele around. You want to take direct routes to racks. Also note, that which side you approach the rack from and what racks you have popped before will change what drops from the rack.
Well, I found that teleporting doesn't much differ from running to racks. Depending on how constant the drops from one rack are, teleporting to it might give you another (more or less constant) drop or even the same, if the tele route doesn't much differ from your running route. I had one map where I got a Decapitator 100% of the time even though I needed 7-8 teleport to it.

But I'm not really a pro when it comes to rack-running - it's just what I experienced in the few hours doing it.

rerolling charms in 1.07 resets their ilvl to1. And be prepared to do a lot of chestruns for charms (my guess is about 100 per charm).

For leet h(m)axdamage charms, NM travincal council is about the best you can get. Their level is high enough to get the best damagemods and they can drop skillers. They have a 1:90 chance to drop a charm. There are about 9 members there, so one in three runs you will find a sc, lc or gc. They go down very easy with static and a decent merc.

Why reroll at all in 1.09 then? Aren't the max damage stuff only in 1.07?
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

One more before I go waste countless hours of my time racking.

Do not forget that the area level - 1 has to be higher than the qlvl of the item type or the unique item (depends on which is higher) if you want to get an item. So e.g. you cannot get The Cranium Basher before hell act 5, since even in Durance 3 the racks drop ilvl 90 items. You may get a Thunder Maul rack, but that won't gift you with a CB, with a triple durbility rare at best... And if the quote from Hammerman is valid for v1.07, then I would also advise you to search for a specific item type that has equal or higher rarity than the act's number ( that is 1 for act 1, 2 for act 2 etc.).

So... what exactly can't I get in LK Hell?

I believe everything but the cranium bashers. I think, considering racking, it's all in Repus' 1.07 guide.

[edit] Jup, just checked, for all the interesting items except the basher, LK is the place where you can get them.

The 3pgem recipe sets ilvl to 1 in 1.07, so you get stupid low affixes on GCs since their qlvl is 1. That's why you don't want to reroll GCs in 1.07. Bloodlord skulls, on the other hand, can get +3summons from their high qlvl, so rerolling a couple of them once (to get the ilvl 1) then bring them forth and keep rerolling could potentially give a +3 summon +3 RS head, which is impossible in any other way.



 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Anything higher then qlvl 87

And please keep in mind that many items are in different tc's then in 1.11. So you can rack thundermauls in LK, but not uniques. You cannot however rack any sacred armours in LK. They have qlvl 88.



 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Rune/Jewel hunting - any tips?

jools suck. Low max ed% (just 30% for a ruby jewel). Roons, well, ahum, maybe LK superchests (Darkoo got a vex from there) or cows (i found a Lo, but that is to be considered extremely lucky). I think both are easier to find in 1.11,and next to that, 1.11 offers better jewels.

If you want them for 1.07 use, i would get them from LK superchest while racking for a nice unique.



 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I just want to craft though. :grin: Are jools and runes really *that* rare as repus's guide says? How hard is it to find runes up to Fal and a magic jool? Comparable to finding a SoJ on NM Andy with 600 MF, or are the odds way better?
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Magic jools drop enough from NM council. Runes amn and above on the other hand are more sporadic. But LK chest tend to drop then now and then.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

LK would be a good bet, while racking. And if you rack in Halls of Vaught, there's a sparkly chest close to the stairs which drop ilvl 99 items. Jewels and charms are not uncommon there. As for runes, I find even orts drop MUCH more rarely than in 1.10+ and basically the only mid runes I have found would be 2Lem 2Lum, then Hel and lower.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I certainly find jewels to be the hardest to get for crafting (ie I run out of jewels before I run out of runes/items/gems).

Re ilvl stuff from the Halls of Vaught, remember its only the ones that drop from chests/urns etc that are ilvl 99, ones droped by mobs are lower ilvl. The reason you want ilvl 99 small charms is to reroll them in 1.09+ to get the leet elemental damage affixs, for grand charms its to get the leet +life (preferably on a skiller).
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Crafting supplies (jewels, Ort/Tir/Nef runes) can be found easily in Hell Cows. I ususally get at least one of each plus a good socketable armor or weapon on a full clear with my 0% MF strafeazon. I think the highest rune I've found from the cows was an Amn in the last 50 runs. Zons also make good rack runners because they can cycle drops with Decoy and wearing partial M'vaina's set (boots, hat, gloves) + 40% FR/W boots works out pretty well for them.

In the last 12 months or so, I've found 1 Um, 1 Lem, 2 Fal, 4 Ko, 3 Lum, and a bunch of lower runes. Ort seems to be the cut-off, as I have 40+ Rals but less than 20 Thuls. I rolled less than 20 Blood weapon crafts, and now need Orts to socket into an 4os armor to give my merc Hell-worthy resists.

Sweet! That many runes from Hell Cows?

What's this about Decoy cycling?



 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I want to make a character to cube bugged +mana to kill rings, hopefully with FCR. I saw someone mention clvl 8, someone else clvl12 I think? Or maybe 14? Anyway just want to make sure, what level does he need to be? Thanks.
