Re: The Questions Thread

Ok, got a bit of a problem... I've killed the Ancients, gone into WSK and ended up with my corpse in a corner surrounded by boss packs, no way I'll get it back. My question is this: if I save and exit, will I have to kill the Ancients again?

Dragonlover

No.

You shouldn't have to - if you haven't reached the WSK II waypoint yet, you'll have to start from the Ancients' Way one, but the gateway to WSK I should be open for you.

Re: The Questions Thread

Got another one: Does Lister always spawn with the same mods? Cos I've got him with Stone Skin, FI and CI on my meteorber, and with the innate Life leech he just isn't dropping.

Re: The Questions Thread

Nope. Like most superuniques, he has a fixed mod in normal but gets extra, random ones in NM and hell.

Re: The Questions Thread

Cheers muzzz. Typically, my second WSK map spawned gloams and dolls, so I've turned the game off for a bit to prevent an anuerysm after they decided to play Occy-ball with me.

Does barbarian's throw mastery effect throwing weapons (javelins in particular) during normal melee use as well?

 

[stephan]

Re: The Questions Thread

No. When meleeing javelins benefit from spear masteriy and throwing axes from axe masetry.

Re: The Questions Thread

Woah... has anyone else ever had the fourth and fifth waves of minions spawn almost simultaneously? I've got a full pack of both Venom Lords and minions of destruction chasing my sorry mercless *** around at the moment, it's quite mad.

Dragonlover

EDIT: And Lister spawned CI/FI *again*.... so sorry, no screenies.

Re: The Questions Thread

If you lure Ventor outside of baals little room, then go back, lister will spawn. Once you leave (to lure them away and whatnot) best to stay out until you've killed them all.

Re: The Questions Thread

Ah, you learn something new every day. I've switched to my merc for a bit, I'm gonna leave it an hour and see if the spawns go more in my favour then.

Re: The Questions Thread

Question concerning the quest drop "bug" or whatever:

I just got my sorcy to WSK 2 wp. I kind of want to go ahead and kill Baal, so she can do cows (pure litsorc). However, if I understand correctly, if I take her MPing and the host has already gotten credit for the Baal quest, and my sorc delivers the killing blow, every time she kills him should be quest drops- at least until I get tired of it and finally kill Baal with her. Do I understand this correctly?

I thought it worked the other way round:

You host with Character A who hasn't killed Baal yet and kill Baal with Character B, who has already killed Baal. Thus Character A gets the "you cannot complete this quest in this game" message. Of course, Character A may not be in the Worldstone Chamber when B kills Baal.

I think the way you say it, Baal will only give "normal" drops.

However, since I'm not 100% sure: Does anyone know what's the right way to do this?

You are correct Grisu. Thats the way we used to do it on bnet at least. I assume its the same in this case.

I have a question:

You know how when you type text in a game (ex. /players8) you can bring press "enter" and type the "up arrow" to bring the text up again? Is it possible to do that after you leave the game and join the next one by simply pressing the "up arrow" or another key? Its just annoying when you have to type /players1 every time you start a new baal run. It would be nice to press "enter" then "up" and simply replace the 3 from last game with a 1 for the current game? Does this make sense?

I think i remember that if you enter a line about 15 times or so it is stored in some memory. This way it would span over different games.

I don't know the exact minimum needed for this, but i type the line 10 times which is enough.

Re: The Questions Thread

Could someone point me in the way of a good socketing guide?

I just found a superior Thresher that I want to make into an insight for my fishy's merc, however I seem to only get 5 sockets whenever I go to Larzuk for sockets. If I could get my hands on a nice guide I would know better how to do that.

Thanks!

Re: The Questions Thread

Superior item's can't be socketed with anything other than Larzuk, but larzuk always give's max sockets.


All thresher's you find will be 5 socket if u use larzuk, so u need to cube it, a weapon is cubed with Amn, Ral, Perfect Amethyst. and that results in 1-6 sockets. If a item's max socket is 3, it will still roll 1-6, and the rolls 6, 5, 4, 3 give's 3 sockets.


Superior weapon's can't be socketed randomly with Amn ral + Pame.

Re: The Questions Thread

[nit-pick]
only threshers with ilvl40+ will get 5 sockets. If it's a ilvl25-39 thresher the maximum number of sockets is 4 (meaning Larzuk will add 4 sockets) and if it's ilvl1-24 it has a maximum of 3 sockets.
Of course this is only hypothetical , because the only only way to get a thresher with a ilvl<40 is to use the "make normal item out of cracked items"-cube recipe, if I'm not mistaken (which would result in ilvl1).
[/nit-pick]
So yes, Grogrims, you're right: Forget to get 4 sockets socketed by Larzuk in a superior Thresher.

To contribute something useful and not only speculations, I present the famous "Which item can get how many sochets depending on ilvl" list:wink3:

Re: The Questions Thread

Does that mean normal cows(IIRC mlvl 28) are the place to look for 4 sockets crystal swords(or other normal weapons) in?
