1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Trouble..

So, I found a 1.07 Iceblink, and ATMA gave me an error message when I opened the character with it. I was still able to open her and off-mule all my stuff though. I put the Iceblink in my 1.07 Uniques stash. Then, when I went back to open that stash again, ATMA crashed.

Now I can't even open my uniques stash anymore. ATMA gives me this error msg:

1.07 Uniques.d2x: Bad file size (0)
Unable to load stash file

Please tell me Iceblink didn't just toast all my uniques? I had a Valkyrie Wing and a WWS that I'd like to keep. :cry: This is ATMA version 5.05 if that matters.

Apis.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

ATMA toasted your stash........

The only think I can suggest is to try restoring a backup (they are the .org files in your save folder - rename the most recent to .d2x). Fingers crossed that should get you most if not all of your uniques back.

For future reference, any items with freezes target are a no no with ATMA in 1.07 (axe of fenchmar springs to mind), also RWs are dangerous in ATMA - its fine to have them on your character, just don't touch them with ATMA otherwise it will corrupt your character (although I think deleting them is ok).
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Thanks for the tip Yiuman.

Yea, I loaded all of my backup files, and was able to recover 1 or 2 uniques. But, the Valk Wing is gone. :cry:
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

If you are careful not to dupe anything, you could look at the .org files of the character you found the valk wing with and see if you could recover it that way (hopefully you haven't used ATMA with that character too many times since you found it).
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Got some news :grin:

Today I found my first decent gc, a +18 maiming, I also foudn a jade sc of str, with 12 psn res :shoecked: apparently damage aren't the only prefixes that are possible of being higher in 1.07 than 1.10+. I also found a rare jewel! But it was only crappy mods, it also had only 3 mods on it, if someone's interested.

I also encountered an interesting bug with the soldiers in act 5 (nm) 2 of the cages spawned close to each other, and when I saved the first and opened the gate to the 2nd, the soldiers from cage #2 decided they wanted to got to the portal the soldiers in cage #1 had opened instead, so they walked towards cage #1 into a wall and stood there, while the quest log gave me a "you cannot complete this quest in this game..." I had to reroll the map after trying ~5 times with the same faliure.

Well, just some experiences I though I should share.

Currently trying to reroll my nm lk map into something decent, but after my last hatchet + warbelt/circlet (unstable) + mesh armor/preserved head (unstable) map I decided to try and push on to hell lk instead. I've also been visiting nm travi, but only interesting finds were the rare jewel (just because it was a rare jewel, it's stats sucked), and the 2 earlier mentioned charms.

I also really like blizzard opposed to FO, but my friend who plays a FO sorc has an easier time it seems :undecided:
Oh well /rant
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

*shakes threads cold body to life*

I've now pushed my sorc to baal in hell (still to afraind of facing him though), level 57 atm. I went back to nm travi/lk and managed to get a stable winged helm rack with ok distance to it, but not much new otherwise, except maybe a +2sorc/+3blizzard orb. I crafted a prismatic amu today also, ok~ish resists, but 25 plr and +1 bone and psn skills as 2nd mods.
I'm also trying to stask up on crafting supplies if the craft-a-ton should occur :grin: only missing a good source of jewels...
Well, maybe I should stop spamming every progress I make :hide:

Anyone else has some news to share?
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I like reading about other ppls progress, don't hold back ;)

I'd toast hell baal by using static field and always have a TP open in the worldstone chamber. Then go visit hell cows until lvl 75+ which makes damage and to/hit bearable.

I usually get my jewels from chests, or the odd monster that drops one. I'm hurting for Orts/Fals though, and I'd love to find a Great Hauberk rack (in which case I'd run it until I had at least 100 craftable ones).
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Yea, I like reading about everyones progress also.

Also, I'm happy to report that I was able to recover all my uniques from ATMA .org files. :smiley: Thanks Yiuman. For some reason (running vista maybe..) none of the files in ATMA_CONFIG directory are visible. I selected 'show hidden files' and I disabled the read-only status of that directory, but still nothing was visible. So, at first I was only able to check my character's .org files for the lost items.

But, Looking at the FILE tab in ATMA shows the actual directory/file for each stash, proving that they do exist. So, I just used my Open Office program to look through the config directory, locate the stash .org files and recover the Valk Wing! Makes my day. :grin:

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Bah. Edit time limit had expired.

Anyway, gambling some rings, trying to improve on my 551% MF when I got this baby. :cool:

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I've started to get a decent amount of jewels from lk now(there's a camp fire close to my rack target) :grin:
I'm currently running nm lk (I have a winged helm rack that I don't wanna loose) hence the delay in leveling/killing baal, I really want to rack a valk wing before I continue with leveling/etc.

Congratz on restoring your valk apis, and on that sweet ring :shocked:

I have some questions:
Regarding my winged helm rack: How hard is it to get a stable rack of a specific kind? This is my first stable rack with something worth racking, hence the un-willingness to take a trip to hell.

Regarding GMB's:
One of the main reasons I started with 1.07 in the first place was to be able to craft a nice bow, it's really far fetched I know, but that's one of the things I'm pursuing in 1.07, and since gmb is the "best" base bow, I'd be willing to put some effort in aquiring one.
1. There are no upgrade recipe's in 1.07 right? I'm 90% sure there is not, but I just wanted to confirm, since if there was you could imbue a crafted or white reflex bow and upgrade it to a gmb and then start crafting it.
2. The only known way of getting a gmb in trough the anya quest right? So the fastest way would hence be rushing amazons to act 5 hell and rescue anya, similar to hf rushing actually :tongue:
The problem is that I have no idea what so ever how anya's gifts work... Someone told me to try and hold off until 80+ for the chance of a gmb, but rushing a set of 7 amazons to hell and then level them to 80+ *shrudders*, but the only known gmb was given from anya at clvl 65-ish iirc, so is there any clearance on this matter?
3. Any other tips on getting a gmb would be nice :grin:

Edit: another one: Have anyone tried the psn javas in 1.07, are they plausible at least as a secondary attack? (any of the 2?)
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

If you take your rushed zons to the ancients you should get to about level 55ish. If you've taken them all the way to the ancients (and you are SC) it might be worth while trying to beat Baal, then putting points in LF/Pierce and cowing for some more levels. Good luck and let us know how it works. It may also be worth trying Anya at ~55 as if this is a high enough level, things get much easier.

Re getting sweet racks, its all a matter of luck, skill and patience. There are many many ways to run each individual map. The chances are that at least one of these ways will force the same to drop something decent, but it may take a while to do so. It may be much easier just to roll a new map and hope for something good. I'm a lazy runner, if I can run things in a relatively straight line, I re-roll the map (I do this because I once had a very difficult elegant blade map which I ran for ~2000 runs before it gave up a lightsabre, then a couple of runs later I found an incredibly easy elegant blade/balrog skin map which would have been much better to run - it was slightly frustrating to say the least). On average I find something I want in approx 6 rerolls (I think it helps that the list of things I'm looking for is quite long), although I'm still valiently searching for that shako rack. My best ever map had a mythic sword, decapitator, troll belt, balrog skin and caddy rack depending on how I ran it - that was a sweet map.

PS I'm also in the process of rushing some zons, but that project has been put on hold for the moment whilst other things have captured my interest - I'll get back to it one day.

Edit: I also like hearing about peoples progress, so keep it up.

Is that true? Could someone clarify me, what are complete mods of Jalal's Mane? Is it better than 1.11 version Jalal's?

Just thinking if I could get a better helm for my furydruir :rolleyes:

The 1.07 Jalals is a mixed blessing IMHO, the CB is great, but the knockback can get annoying depending on your play style. There is no better helm for a hunter druid though.



 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I ran Andy and Meph a couple dozen times this weekend with maxed MF on my L81 FOrb sorc. Nothing noteworthy, but gathered a good collection of low-level uniques that look pretty in ATMA. Only 2 rings and Atma's Scarab for jewelry, though. Found another Shadow skiller and a Warcry skiller, both with minor +life mods running Hell Cows with the Strafeazon. I tried out ethFace of Horror and Rattlecage on the merc with Riphook socketed with a Nef--she almost survives half a cow run at this point. I don't bother ressurecting her, just have her around for LK runs to shake up the drops. No good racks since getting the IK Maul a couple weeks ago, but she found Tribal Guardian and runs very consistently with 80% FR/W--monsters don't slow her down, I just run around/through them before they even notice.

Went back to the Assassin where every 3rd monster is PI--slow going, lots of trips to town. After securing the Caynon of the Magi waypoint, I knocked down a guard corpse and stared at a green Winged Helm. Guillame's...I've been searching for this for 6 months...melee builds are officially 3 times as attractive to me know. I put on the highest damage claws I can equip and dish out 150-1150ish damage each, 75/15/75 resists with BoS and Guillames + 14% CB blood gloves are making short work of PIs when combined with Venom and the +100-156 fire damage javelin I have on switch. No good poison bow to socket and fill with PEmeralds yet. Once I get there, A4 and A5 will be a cinch*

*Kidding.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I was doing some rack running and accidentally cast a town portal and it changed the rack seed on me. I used it a few times on my map and it changed what Items I was getting. That's useful for me since my Sorc can't summon anything and I wanted to keep my map.

I'm pretty sure that was just by accident and the rack didn't drop stable, since I tested it on a rack where I got Divine Scepters 100% of the time (90 out of 90), and it didn't change the drop when I casted TP before clicking the rack. Would be great if it did work though:smiley:

Finally I found a rack that drops 100% Zerkers when I get the right path...problem is, I have to teleport once across the whole map, than rack the weapon rack in the first super chest hut, then open the chest, then leave the hut, cut north to the next bonfire, have to keep right of it and enter the next superchest hut left of the pole. Voilà - a Zerker drops!:grin:

oh, btw, am now level 59, racked accidentially a String of Ears and a M'Avina's Tenet.

[highlight]EDIT[/highlight]: looky what I just found!

Prefix 928 Grand Charm of Maiming
Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus
Required Level: 37
Unidentified
Item Version: Expansion
Item Level: 88
Fingerprint: 0x723207e2
+67 to Attack Rating
+25 to Maximum Damage

The Prefix is Sharp. What would be the maximum Damage one could get? Is it 40 on a Serrated GC of Maiming?

[highlight]EDIT2:[/highlight] I don't know if I'm being paranoid, but it seems, that if I pickup the first racked item (it's Cryptic Swords), the 2nd rack won't drop Zerkers anymore, but if I only rack the Cryptic Sword and don't pick it up, Zerkers drop all the time...:scratch: have you experienced something similiar?

I think the max damage on that one would be 10+20 = 30 maxdamage. Nice find though :thumbsup:

And considering picking things up changing drops from racks, i noticed the same sometimes (picking charms up from chest, changing the drop from next rack.)



 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

nice to read some updates :grin:

I've also found a rattlecage and I traded a guil's face from jae, hopefully my strafer will have a smoother sailing :grin: (*cough* I also traded 6 gcs of maiming from him *cough*)

@grisu: Serrated of maiming has max of 40 iirc(pretty sure, I know that someone showed a +37 maxer somewhere in here)
