1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Excellent suggestion on the Chromatic shield from thefranklin...you can also get suffixes on it like Amicae(iPDR), Negation(MDR), Equilibrium(FHR), or +life suffixes. Note that if you're playing a no-block sorc, a kite shield is light armor type, requires less STR, and can still get 3sox from Larzuk...it can also get 'Chromatic' at clvl 52 vs 56 for the tower shield. Hell Charsi is a great place to shop high lvl affixes on normal base gear...but remember that Hell Act1 vendors never sell exceptional or elite base items, gotta get to Act2 or later for those.

This is the only 1.07 skiller I've ever gotten with a suffix as well...check the ilvl, got it from a chest in Nilly's temple...

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

The council is indeed an excellent source of charms and socketables...Hell council is also good for high-lvl set items w/374%MF, but be forewarned...the council is LI in Hell, so static don't work so well...you might wanna be on the lookout for a wand or dagger like this:
Code:
Prefix 1274 Grim Wand of Lower Resistance
One-Hand Damage: 5 to 11
Durability: 15 of 15
Required Level: 36
Staff Class - Normal Attack Speed
Item Version: Expansion
Item Level: 84

+1 to Blood Golem (Necromancer Only)
448% Damage to Undead
+364 to Attack Rating against Undead
[highlight]Level 2 Lower Resist (75/75 Charges)[/highlight]
Alternatively (and FAR superior) you can MP with a Necro...or a Pally w/Conviction....:whistling:

That is some sexy gloves sideshowbob :).

lionheartthebrave: I have amasses alot of gear in1.07 aswell so let me know if you want me to send some stuff. I dont play MP but can email you in form of atma stahses. Let me know what you need the most and ill look through my stashes..
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

WoRG: I accidentally sold something similar, and the staffmods made it too expensive to buy back :(

I managed to buy a +29 resall kite shield, and then Larzuk threw 1 measly socket in it :( only one socketing quest remains, may have to rush some chars to Shenk to get some more

@snooker: thanks for the offer, essentially I'm looking for upgrades on my gear, some FCR may be a good idea as I have 0 atm

is NM LK worth running for jewels? I have the urge to start crafting, and SEVEN is not enough for a session

Hi there.

Ok ill put together a little package with what i find in the stashes. What level are you? Can you PM me the details of where i shall email the stash to?

PS i would save the jewels for now. Whe Worg releases his findings it might contain info that crafting could be good at a earlier level but until then i think patience is the way to go :)



 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

@Kimppi: Like I said earlier, I'm pretty sure you need clvl96 (crafting lvl63) to get +3 skilltab on lesser blood gloves...and you CAN'T get +3 skilltab on lesser caster gloves, even at clvl99. However, this is reversed on the greater recipies: greater blood gloves CANNOT get +3 skilltab, while greater caster gloves CAN, at ANY clvl (as alvl will be controlled entirely by qlvl). The problem with the greater crafts is that the bases can't drop or be shopped, they must be racked or (shudder) gambled...and armor crafts CAN'T be recrafted!

I've crafted a fair number of gloves and never seen a +3 skilltab on any of them, but perhaps I've just been unlucky. I'm not sure exactly what the distribution was, but I know I crafted a bunch when my sorc hit 96, expecting to see some +3 skilltabs. I wouldn't say I've done hundreds, but a fair number, and many of those were greater blood ones where I didn't realize that +3 wasn't possible there. I did get some wonderful huge leech gloves and I think I did also see the odd ilvl 99 on some crafts but I didn't keep track of how often that happened, and I don't remember getting anything really great from those.

I think the fact that crafted shields can get 3 sockets in 1.07 is a wonderful opportunity but I haven't made much use of it. A 3-socketed Aegis with Deflecting and some other nice mods would be nicer than many a much-coveted 4-socket JMOD, except possibly for builds that really only care about the number of possible facets and nothing else. One downer is that the aegis takes so much strength! (and lunas can only get 2 sockets.)

@LHtB: I put together some items that dropped while I was running the cow level the other day...sorry it took a minute, RL is being a bear lately...they should be in your inbox now. The eth ghost armor would work well on the merc if you're facing physical attackers, but for council one of the rare armors would probably work better...the blue lion helm can get up to 3 sox from Larzuk, and the blue gothicplate 4.

@purplelocust: Well, it does take some luck to get the affixes you want...still, I've seen readouts for several pairs online with +3 skilltabs; all were ilvl63+ (and of course if they bug ilvl99, any of the glove recipies could get +3 skilltab). You are absolutely right about the potential of 1.07 crafted shields: they can be godly, especially the blood ones (Aegis)...the STR req on Aegis is very hefty, but they can get 'of simplicity', which reduces the STR req to 154, less than a Monarch... My primary 1.07 sorc uses a Caster shield she crafted...I think its very nice! (she's maxblock, BTW...)

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Just found a 16 to res all grand charm :)..I have one previously with 19 to all res..

Very happy about that drop..

Hmm crafting shields is not something i had thought about. Interesting :)
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Worg:

I forgot to ask about crafting a GMB..Did you mean that it can get cruel and grandmasters (ie up to 580ED) or id you mean cruel or grandmasters?
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

@WoRG: thanks I'll check when my life slows down a bit

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

@Snooker: Very sexy charms you have there! :thumbup:

A GMB should be able to spawn +%ED all the way to cruel, and +AR/ED up to master's (Grandmaster's is out of reach, I'm afraid...). Both can spawn on the same craft, as they are in different affix groups (only 1 affix from a group can spawn on any single craft), meaning that up to 530%ED is possible (300%cruel, 150%master's, 80% greater craft automod). Fool's and screaming(grinding) are also possible to spawn, but not with master's/cruel, respectively (same affix group...). Other interesting possible affixes would be Bowyer's (+2 B&C), Valkyrie's (+2 Zon), of evisceration, of performance, of alacrity, of simplicity, of Amp Damage, and of Anthrax(PMH from poison, since of Vileness can't spawn on bows). Of course, a GMB should also get a +(1-3)B&C automod in addition to affixes and craft automods.

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Ty Worg :)

Thx for the info on crafting GMB. Does hydra bow have the same scnearion or does the higher Qlevel make any difference apart from more to skills as you mentioned before ie is cruel and grandmasters possible in the same craft?

I guess i can also ask if there is any weapon that have high enough qlevel to actually get cruel+ grandmasters..

Let me know if you feel like m7 20 questions is annoying :). I can always wait until your guide is out..
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

And Superior GMB, do you see them dropping much?

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

No they cant drop in 1.07.

You can only get one in Anyas quest and then its ofcourse a rare bow.

Edit: Hydra bows cannot drop either but can be bought
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Thanks :)

Btw, I look at your 40dmg GC everytime before playing 1.07 :p D2 Gods gieb!
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Hehe yeah its a beauty indeed. Dont know if any one else has ever found one either which makes it more special.

Crossing my fingers for you :)
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Didnt they have 36, 37 ones? Anyway it doesnt matter really :) as it will always be one of the best item i found in diablo ..

They are scarse though. I have played 1.07 for a long long time and the second best i ever found (grand charm that is) was 29 max damage i think...
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

best I recall, there have been about half of dozen or so others posted somewhere in this heap of a thread... I think purplelocust had a couple.
I wish! I've never seen a +40 max drop, though I do have a good collection of damage charms including some serrated grand charms of maiming in the +30-36 range with I think one +38 as my best. Those are still in 1.07, mostly. I also have some skillers with good damage (+18 to +20 max damage and a skiller for a good physical damage build is a great combo!)



 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Yeah max damage with + to skills are great. Sadly i dont think i have found one heh.

I think i saw you have alot of great Large charms and small one aswell Purple.
