1.07 News, Info and Gossip

You can dual wield 2x 2H weapons, 2x 1H weapons or mix them up together or with shields. :)

When talking about caution I speak of regular cautiousness and not runeword-caution. I personally believe the Frozen Orb Sorceress is getting the most out of this but of course you can do this with scepters and wands as well. Don't remember what 2x Shields did as I don't play anymore.

It's nice to have a 2 handed warrior with grandfather on top just for the stats for instance, using it as a shield except it won't block of course.
 
Can you do this in ATMA, or will the game just delete one illegally equipped item upon entering a game? How would 2x shields even work with block speed etc?
 
Never tried equipping 2 things illegally in ATMA (I imagine it doesn't let you?) but I can say that I've equipped unID'd things by accident and panicked when I thought I ruined my character (don't remember the exact error it gave me upon trying to enter a game). So, the game probably just doesn't let you start it if ATMA even lets you put two items on
 
Seriously how do you level this patch. I'm running around in act 5, trying to try, hiding behind my mercenary at level 26 and nothing is giving me hardly any exp. Is there some trick to this or is it going to be struggles? Also, no gear drops. No good gear at least. I have no idea how I'm supposed to progress aside from an awful, rip-your-eyes-out-with-a-melon-scooper pace.

Maybe I just need to take a break. Been playing too long today. I can tell that this is going to be a huge time investment.
 
Baal runs are ok for experience (ancient's will help, too) but normal cows are where you want to be probably. Your merc will ide but you have a really good mpk ring anyway.

Use your gold to shop a wand with +100 mana and ideally fcr. Really easy to do and if it has no +skills then it will be very cheap
 
ancients, then cowrun with javazon until 99 (if you want)

all ancients alone give you lvl 56, you can save the ancients if you want lvl 99 (to get the quest at 99)
 
Well the slow part is normal. After that, you can mostly skip the game and level at cows or high level areas (pindle garden, nihl temple...) relatively easily
 
While leveling my first 1.07 WW barb, he periodically stops moving and spins in one place. All equipment and inventory items are not accessible (red) and he just sits there and takes damage from attacking enemies until I am forced to save & exit.

I've searched the forum and other resources without finding a solution? Any suggestions?

Thank you
 
@d2fan No, the bug does not occur when reaching a new level. As best I can tell, it just occurs randomly while playing. The frequency is high enough that it gets kind of frustrating. I'd estimate two to four occurrences per hour.
 
@pharphis Thanks for the reply. I'm starting the think it could be related to the proc on my IK gloves. I will switch out the gloves and let everyone know if this fixes the problem.
 
A question to all of you 1.07 aficionados.

I have a LK map with a 100% stable colossus blade rack that I have run ~1500 times. Twelve BK Sacred Charges have dropped but not a single Grandfather. I have also checked all rare drops and not a single failed unique.

So.....can LK drop a Grandfather? As I read the guide the answer should be "yes" but my results are starting to concern me.

Thanks

Shor aswer: Yes, LK can drop GF.

Long answer: If the base can drop, it can drop unique, WITH the exception of Cranium Basher Thunder Maul (and also Sacred Armor but I don't think there are unique SA in 1.07). Those can be found from Nihlathak's Halls (DON'T go see Nihl. He'll kill immediately). Staves, bows and orbs cannot be racked, so you shouldn't look for those in LK, but everything else can be found from there.

Uniques can play hard to get, but just stay at it, you'll rack one eventually. It helps with sanity to pop the superchests, all the great charms and occasional rare runes make all the running feel worth it.

Also, not fair, I've been looking for Colossus Blade rack for weeks, still no luck :(

Edit. This post in repusz's 1.07 guide has the quality/area level numbers so you can compare.
 
Confirming that I found both of mine in LK :)

Also found my cranium basher in nihl hall (didn't try anywhere else)

just very poor luck on your end. 12 BK swords is not a crazy amount, though. If you aren't counting runs you could still be floating around 1k fairly easily
 
@Burgomaster3 @pharphis Thanks guys. You've confirmed my understanding but I wanted to confirm before I invested too much more time.

On a side note, the map also has a death mask rack that has produced 13 sets and 4 unique drops. I have concluded that rack was added to the map seed to torture me.

Anyway, I'm sure the unique CB will drop soon. And maybe if I'm a good boy I will get multiple drops over a short number of runs.
 
I got I think 2 blackoak shields and an arreat's face from an inconsistent rack before I managed to get whatever unique I was looking for at the time from the other one I was most concerned with (it's been too long for me to remember). This might have been while I was hunting for arkaine's valor in A5 (with cranium basher at the same time)
