1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Accidentally opened my sorceress in 1.13 so i need to build a new one. Luckily i wasn't that far into the game (NM Act 1), and had stored some of my findings so this time it should be a bit easier.

Need to be more careful in the future.
 
@WoRG, @Derklord you guys have the numbers and lvls =) Have you some programming skills? I'd like a program which tells me exactly how much MF I need to get that item from that mob in that difficulty. Is that too much? =)
My programming skills are rather limited, but I'm fairly good with Excel, and created a calculator in it (it's part of my spreadsheet containing all the tables from the MPQ).
I remade the calculator in Google Docs, check it out! To edit, click File -> Make a copy.
Yay, I can post links!

The ATMA calculator works fine if you use the fix that was posted somewhere in this thread.
 
Looks good! Is there somewhere a list of set item qlvls? I have a sheet for uniques.

As far as I know, all items in a set have the same qlvl.
Code:
Arctic Gear 3
Hsarus' Defense 4
Berserker's Garb 5
Cleglaw's Brace 6
Infernal Tools 7
Death's Disguise 8
Sigon's Complete Steel 9
Isenhart's Armory 11
Civerb's Vestments 13
Cathan's Traps 15

Found an armor stand that drops Pavice(0 ticks), Monarch(3), Dragon shield(4) and Vortex shield(5).

Stashed some Monarchs and started to run all the others by turns.

Vortex done:

Two to go and next rack =)

30 allres and I racked it coz I thought class specified set item drops quickly. And it did.

Someone asked like years ago in this thread that is Sazabi's set good for a barb merc? I don't think that was never commented. I try again. Is it?

m4ke
 
Depends on your alternatives. Nice are the HP bonus, 30 all res, and good damage. What the set lacks is CB, MDR, and MF. Against lots of small packets of magical damage (Trav, CS, anything MSLE), MDR is better than a HP boost, and when running Meppel or Baal, you probably need MF. Lack of CB is also very noticable, I tried switching from BKs sword to a Ginther's Rift on my sorc, and noticed a significant drop in kill speed against LIs.
 
It would be the 0 MF switch gear since I finally got 375 on my sorc and barb has Ptopaz Tals body + 3Ptopaz hat to hit 556. I need a switch gear to run for sets.

Now he is using Sazabis for sets and the runs are so easy (Raven and Summoner) that I think it's quite a same what he wears (0 MF though). I'd like anyway to go for the best so that's why I'm asking.

I Coded and @Derklord provided MF formula for a Java program that is a bit extented @WoRG 's MF table with mlvl & qlvl.

It gives mostly same numbers but there are small diffeences that can't be rounding issues. We don't know why is that..

They can but I haven't got +3, either. I forget if it's possible in NM LK to have +3 or not
 
Rack manipulating thingy. I dont't remember I've seen this:
Code:
1. Take WP to LK (for example). Do racks with minion manipulations as you like.
1.1 You get one set of items with manipulating.
2. Take WP to LK. Take WP to Spider forrest (or something else, NOT DOCKS). Take WP to LK. Do racks with minion manipulations as you like.
2.1 You get another set of items with manipulating.

- You can make racks in LK (for example) to drop all different when you WP to a NEW PLACE (not docks) as many times as you have WP's.
- You must visit LK (for example) between different WP's to tick racks.

m4ke

Edit: WP to another act gives also different drops =) Unlimited drops (almost =) with 1 map !!

Worth considering if you have 2 good WP placements, I guess. Interesting.

Is it consistent?

ie Area A, then B, then back to A will (usually) produce the same results if you then click on the rack?
 
I ment that any WP to new area and back will tick racks.

I've tested that with my balrog map.
- I WP to LK
- I get armour A

- WP to LK then KB and back to LK
- I get drop B

And repeat. NEW area.

And that works with minion manipulation. Any WP to NEW area and back will tick the rack.

m4ke

Edit: I have not tested how this works with racks ie LK and KB if you run them both.
And 100% stable racks give 100% same results with WP thingy.
