Check if you changed the path for the stashes (default is atma folder) to the save folder or some other location. Else do a search.

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
Alright, I've read a good chunk of the 1.07 guides, but I'd figure I'd ask here. I'm starting 1.07 HC (Yes daring I know) with a sorc of all things and figured I'd get any advice I could before really getting into it. Anything thats not in the guides that you as 1.07 players would recommend to me? A few helpful points would be nice to have before getting myself killed.

In case you don't know:
Merc can be eaten in act 4 and can't be resurrected if this happens. Screw you tyrael, you made me think mercs had limited number of lives so I avoided them for 2 difficulties...
Also, get 3-row belt asap or at least 3 rejuvs, so you can fill belt columns by shift-purchasing rejuvs you sell. Infinite life/mana? Yes plz
Purple boss packs <3

- Never visit Nihlathak on NM nor Hell
- Baal WILL KILL YOU if you stand in his line of fire; best way to deal with him is to static from round corner while merc kills
- Fire Enchanted monsters are actually dangerous
- I don't think Fanaticism was nerfed yet, so other monsters with it may be just as dangerous as the boss
- Lord De Seis spawns with OKs as minions, stay away from their line of fire
- Monsters can be quad-immune
Those were the bad things
- Cold mastery breaks CI, even if it doesn't show that way
- Static Field is not capped in NM nor Hell, so gogo max static
- Frozen Orb is extremely powerful, but stops doing damage if passing through a monster; aim to their side
- Resist charms are better, and more likely to get as there were no ele dmg charms
- Casting Hydra next to a rack will "tick" it, moving it to its next item on its list.

Good stuff. I started my 1.07 adventure yesterday. Took down Andy and decided it was a good stopping point. Nothing too exciting yet but I have to remember how squishy a sorc is starting out, especially untwinked as I took a couple heavy hits. I found a rare spear and used that for general stabbing, and a rare hunter bow for my merc with ctc amp and a big %damage to undead number.
Fun pics:

P.S. I hate shaman boss packs.
P.P.S. Stamina potions are useless

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
For some reason it seemed like the resurection cost of a mercenary seemed much higher than normal, I'm not sure if thats because I have less gold, or it just does cost a bit more.
The frost nova takes at least half my health if I'm in range right now, so anytime I see a cold enchanted I automatically take a step back. What level should I expect to be at the end of the acts/difficulties? I feel like experience is progressing very slowly but if I remember reading correctly thats how it was in this patch.

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
I tend to reach the end of Normal at about clvl 30. I used to go right into Nightmare and reach the NM Ancients at around clvl 45 but recently I’ve opted to run Normal Baal until I reach clvl 45. The experience at Normal Baal seems to be pretty good, plus, I can reach what is usually my endgame weapon (something exceptional and Cruel with a clvl requirement of 42 or so). Besides, then you’re a bit over-leveled for NM and can probably make up most of the time you spent doing those extra Baal runs. Of course you’re operating untwinked so probably you’re only interested in the xp this time through. That being said, I’d still recommend it provided that Baal’s Mana Flame isn’t too threatening. I’ve been playing 1.07 twinked for years now so I can’t remember how damaging Normal Baal can be to an untwinked character but I don’t think it’s too bad (compared to NM Baal who seems to be reasonably dangerous and Hell Baal who seems to be able to kill virtually any character at any time . . . )
If I run Normal Baal to clvl 45 I tend to reach the end of NM at clvl 60 and then reach the end of Hell at clvl 65. But that’s me, it would be interesting to know what anyone else does . . . :scratchchin:

Hi , I am racking Aldurs green Shadow plate in Kurast Bazaar right now..
I Gave it about 200 runs by now and still nothing.. i have found 2 rares though..
Just wondering if i am not doing something wrong . Item level too high for area level or somethin like that ?

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
I remember however i exped my first Druid in Worldstone 2nd floor and Arreat Plateau or Frigid highlands.. exp is VERY Good, its absolutelly safe and monsters have really low resistances to elemental damage. But that depends on what char ure playin.
But exp till level 45 on Act 5 Normal is definitelly good idea every time!
Hi. Normal Baal truly isnt that dangerous if you level up a bit and experience is really good , compare to NM you get same experience as in 3rd or 4th Act on NM and it isnt that dangerous.

Alright guys, the hieropahnts? The healer guys with the zealots. When they cast blizzard it looks like they are casting like 3 blizzards at once on top of me. Is this something I should be worried about? Or, eh, not really dangerous kind of thing.

Whatever nublio, I rather just not repeat 1.07 if I don't have to. I.E. not dying.
Edit: Thanks frozzzen for a reasonable answer.

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
Newbie question.
Just installed 1.07 and started a sorceress named Anja. She's at first waypoint after completing Den of Evil and made full clears. But she's only at level 4. In 1.13 my characters are at least level 6 normally 7 at the same point.
So my question is: Which areas are the best ones to level? Should I just quest until WSK and then make Baal runs or is there earlier places where one could level?

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
That's mostly due to you playing at p1 instead of p8.
I generally just quest through and then level in act 5, the exp there is generally way better than anywhere else.
You will be much lower level in general though, I think I finished hell around level 60 iirc.

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
I've read that 1.07 does not has the players setting. Isn't that correct?
I tried to apply the nopickup command with both "nopickup" and "/nopickup" but neither worked.
Here's copy from Repusz's guide to 1.07:
"II,) v1.07 differences from v1.09, gameplay features, bugs etc.
- There is no "players x" command, so you cannot increase the XP you get from monsters. The only way to get more XP requires either a home LAN or a good PC. The trick is easy enough: you host a game with your char, then join with another one to this game and team up with him/her. To do this on one PC, you need the modified d2gfx.dll self-muling file: it works with all the versions of the D2X."
I'm not going to install the modified dll, so I surmise that I have to rely on "players 1" game with levelling on some areas. So I'm asking what are the areas for best levelling in Normal.

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
On leveling: self mp through normal will save you a lot of time because you will be on level and be able to put in very helpful skill points.
MDR is taken after resistances, so 75 res all and 15-25 MDR make you elementally invincible against everything but the act IV knights (abyss, oblivion, etc).

@thefranklin: Which part of the line "I'm not going to install the modified dll" didn't you understand?
I'm not asking how to self MP nor am I going to MP with others as I want to be self found. I'm asking what are the best places to gain experience fast in p1 game. Is WSK & Baal running the only viable option or are there earlier places one can use?
