1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Why not rack ones without sockets and bring them forward? Or was it some 1.07 build.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I was hoping for crafted claws, socketed in 1.07 and thus getting 3 sockets, except that the maximum number of sockets in 1.07 is 2!
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Wow, what a coincidence. I was in Act 2 nm shopping claws and saw a lot of Druid pelts and thought it was weird. Saves a question, but here's the ss:

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Wow...this thread was down on page nine...no wonder people can't find it, LOL

Been working on some of the weirdness of 1.07 crafting, and have gained a lot of insight into whats going on...I'll post details once I test a few more things. I have a couple questions for the 1.07 players, especially those who have done extensive crafting:

1) Has anyone ever crafted (or heard of anyone crafting) bugged blood (i.e. LifeLeech >6%) belts, boots, or body armor?

2) Other than the recipies that explicitly put sockets in items, has anyone cubed (3 Pgem reroll, 6 Pskull rare reroll, or crafted) an item that innately had sockets? I can't recall ever crafting anything that spawned with sockets, and every time I get a socket affix in a cube reroll, it doesn't have any sockets!!

@thefranklin: a while back, we were discussing poison damage bows for twinking in one of RobbyD's threads, and I suggested a Prefix 1232(Corrosive) Hunter or Composite bow of Pestilence that got 4 sox from Larzuk and calculated the damage as follows:Corrosive [150 bite - 50 frame] / of Pestilence [32-72 bite - 100 frame] / 4xPEmerald [300 bite - 25 frame] each, so
(150+32+4*300=) 1382 * (50+100+4*25=) 250 = 345500 bite damage / 256 = 1349 min poison damage
(150+72+4*300=) 1422 * (50+100+4*25=) 250 = 355500 bite damage / 256 = 1388 max poison damage

1349 - 1388 poison damage over 10 seconds

Since then, I've been looking for such a bow myself...found a couple (one razor bow, one short war bow) but neither got 4 sox :( I did find another item that got Corrosive/of Pestilence and it DID get 4 sox, so I thought I would post this as a nice illustration of a)how poison damage stacks in 1.07, b)that it indeed works on melee wpns as well as ranged, and c)that I actually calculated the poison damage correctly (woot) I'm still looking for the hunter's bow though, that will be an AWESOME lvl18 twinking wpn!!

@Fabian: I finally got an Aegis rack, and Aegis can only get 3 sockets...still not sure about Wards, but I'm thinking they will only get 3 as well, making pally sheilds the only 4sox sheilds in 1.07. Also, I have discovered that Blade Barriers and Troll Nests cannot get sockets in 1.07.

@Zoo: sorry, missed your inquiry a couple months ago - No, the Angelic is not the first set ammy I cubed w/the prismatic formula...I actually got Vidala's ammy the 13th time I tried the formula (I remember because, you know, 13... unlucky... cubed a set... LOL) I've also cubed a Tancred's ammy, no uniques yet tho...

@Helvete: In researching crafting, I reread this thread and noticed that about 3 yrs ago, you asked if a crafted great hauberk could get 'of the whale'...I crafted this the other day...it got 'of ages' too

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Worg: Nice post!

You could be the proud owner of the first ever artisians item with 4 sockets. What level of character crafted the "of the whale" item?

Have you used the poison damage maul? I have been shopping Larzuk looking for fun items, but the only dual poison affix one I found was a pike. I really wanted to find some elite bows, but the level requirements are high (72 for ward, 76 for hydra) enough that I will not be able to use them until well after mat!
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I have a question regarding circlets/coronets/tiaras/diadems.

I know they can get only 1 socket in 1.07. But what if they are brought forward to 1.13c? Would Larzuk be able to put 2 sockets into magical ones?
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I don't know specifically about Circlets, but something like Cryptic Axes max out at 4 sockets in 1.07 (like all polearms), but get 5 sockets when brought forward, so I would assume 1.13 socketing rules apply for other items brought forward as well.

A question of my own then. Does anyone know if any of the "good" charm affixes can't spawn on charms dropped from NM Council? By "good" I mostly mean the 1.07 damage affixes and AR type stuff, and I guess the resist affixes would be nice as well. While I'm at it, what's the highest MF affix for charms in 1.07? Really crappy right?

Are there any important differences I should be aware of with how Whirlwind and Find Item works in 1.07 compared to later patches? What would you recommend in terms of weapons (and other equipment) for a WW Barb planned for NM Council running?
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I know you can get amazing affixes in Hell in 1.07. I have a Serrated Grand Charm of Vita
(18 Max and 44 Life) with an item level of 93 (in game required level of 83).

I am reasonably sure that the answer is "yes." I recall reading this in one of the 1.07 guides. Unfortunately, I cannot remember which one.


 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

The highest MF I have seen on a SC is 4 I think, but I don't know if that is the max or if there is better. I wish I had known last night that you were gonna make a 1.07 WW barb, I threw out a sick WW barb helm :(

I am currently trying to rack a wizzy, and the game is really starting to piss me off. But I am finding some nice stuff in the meantime.

The low end Vita will have a required level of 69,so I don't think that will drop from NM council, but I'm pretty sure all of the max damage ones are around 42 or less. I think some of the min damage ones might be higher though. I was thinking I might go back and abuse them a bit once I can stack some MF and try to pick up some lower set items. But that will be a while possibly, depending on how long it takes me to rack the two uniques I want out of my current map.

Is the 150% damage to undead on staffs, etc. the same as in the current patch but just written differently?
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

All the damage/resist/AR mods can spawn on charms from NM council. The highest life you can get on grand/large charms from them is 30.

Highest magic find you can get on charms is 4 ( lucky on gc/lc and good luck on sc)

The damage to undead is same as in the current patch.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Another question from me. Can Barb Helms be shopped from somewhere? I know Elzix occasionally has Druid Pelts for sale, and it seems unfair to me that Barbs wouldn't get the same treatment? :)
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

They do however seem very easy to rack, I come across a lot of them, and they seem to have a better chance at +skills than in 1.13 Lion helms also will drop at an alarming rate from bosses and other monsters/chests.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Racking is not so good when you're after magic ones though. Kimppi mentioned LK chests, and that might be the best source of blue Barb helms.
