Thx for the info.

I see there is a lot of racking ahead me!

For the moment, I have just one 1.07 char in Hell. She (sorc) has not so bad LK map, with very stable diadem rack. I try from time to time to rack some nice 3skills/20fcr diadem with her...

Good luck with racking! My sorc has a LK map with Balrog Skin rack 2 tele away from wp.

~3k runs - still nothing.


 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Nah, its not gems that are hard to get (as ANY quality works...chipped, flawed, whatever), or even the runes (for lesser crafts, anyway), its the jewels. Even though 1.07 jewel affixes suck, so that easily 90%+ of jewels qualify as 'junk for crafting', jewel drop rates are terrible overall in 1.07. If it weren't for areas like Arcane Sanctuary, Travincal, and especially LK, which have 'improved' rates (that still come nowhere close to 1.13c, IMO), I would have real trouble finding enough for even casual crafting, much less any serious efforts...

BTW, that discussion was in this thread, and it actually kicked off my latest efforts into unravelling the mysteries, so to speak. I've learned a LOT since then, and fully intend to share what I've learned with the forum once I get things wrapped up. I also would encourage people to post their great crafts, as I gleaned quite a bit of info by just looking at readouts of 1.07 crafted items posted here and elsewhere on the web...

@zemaj: I have a Gull dagger that I'm very strongly considering dropping that rune into...

So, regarding the conversation about crafted weapons...

The 1.07 guide claims you can imbue a crafted item. Has anyone tried this with a sweet crafted weapon? Does it work?
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I don't see the point in it, since it would lose all the mods it gained through the crafting process. Might as well use a magic items instead.

When you imbue a crafted item, it does nothing different than if you imbued something that was white. You get a rare, which cannot spawn magical only affixes. The only advantage it has is that you can keep crafting/imbueing the same item if you choose to. This is only helpful for items that cannot drop white versions of (amulets, rings, sorc orbs).
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Re-imbuing and re-crafting is useful in cases where obtaining the base item type is exceptionally hard. For example, Grand Matron Bows can't drop in the game from monsters or racks, but the hell Anya reward is a possibility for getting one, which requires rushing a zon to hell, getting lucky on getting a bow, and getting lucky on having that bow be a GMB. After all of that trouble, re-crafting is a nice feature!
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Huh. It sure sounded like the guide was trying to say that the imbue bonuses would add to the craft bonuses. Guess I'm glad I asked before putting any energy into that trick!
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I agree that the guide seems to suggest that the bonuses would stack...but they don't. It does allow you to imbue jewelery and sorc orbs, however (orbs are always at least magic (blue) in 1.07, so you can't imbue them normally.) I had hoped to use imbues from high lvl characters on crafted ammys to get +2 to class skills (which can't spawn on crafted ammys due to the max crafting ilvl of 65)...thus my disappointment to find out that 1.07 rare amulets CANNOT get +2 class skills.

I've been thinking that its about time that the 1.07 guide (Repusz's) and the addendum (Yiuman's) were compiled together and updated to add things that have been discovered and remove things that are wrong...I'm planning on writing a guide to 1.07 crafting/cubing when I get the time, and may just roll that into a 'new' 1.07 guide...what do you guys think?

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Please do that. Having it summed up nicely and accurately would be very convenient.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Update, thanks to a trade with WoRG I am about to kill Eldritch at lvl24, 1 point blizzard prereq is v useful atm, once I rescue those barbarians from their pathetic cages I can hire one, I forgot that the Lord de Seis had OKs as minions, the *bleep*

Got a Nef from the Forge, and a Tal from a Storm Caster next to the forge...

And yes I was looking to craft/imbue some sweet rings too

I would be very interested in seeing a new unified guide that would cover all aspects of 1.07.



 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

There are so many things wrong or confusing in those guides a new one would be awesome!
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

@WoRg: Please, please, pretty please! Right now, I have three different bookmarks for 1.07- the two you mentioned and the 1.07 RWs list. Having that information all together in one place, with erroneous information removed, and a clarified crafting/cubing guide? Sounds frickin' sweet!
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

That would be great WoRG. :D

If you want help for some revisions, in the end or something, feel free to ask.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I feel like starting 1.07 some day. I want those nice 1.07-bases. To cheesy to trade for them. Is the static/fo-sorc something to start with? What about to versions on the same computer, nothing to think about there? Rename any dir-folders?
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

The tren shadow version switcher by mattinm is seriously SOOOO easy to use, I don't know why you would do anything else, unless you already had it installed separately.

And yes static/FO is pretty easy (but still time consuming) most likely the best build to start with hands down.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I never put any in it, and I ran untwinked. others have put some in it, but I wouldn't put too much in there.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Another update

Just started NM at lvl30, damn those Minions of Destruction hurt, Bartuc's LE wasn't nice either, FO+static rocks though, the merc does frequent impressions of a rock

Should I try and level somewhere before going to NM or just quest on?

EDIT: two jewels in the whole of normal...
