Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
Yeah, I meant rares like this: (note that this is the
1.08 circlet...)
Code:
Brimstone Brow
Tiara
Defense: 43
Durability: 23 of 25
Required Level: 52
Item Version: Expansion
Item Level: 75
Fingerprint: 0x1b08a35d
+13 to Life
+20 to Maximum Stamina
Magic Damage Reduced by 3
[highlight]+2 to Amazon Skill Levels[/highlight]
+2 to Mana After Each Kill
I have lots of 1.07 blue circlets like this:
Code:
Prefix 1260 (Hierophant's) Coronet
Defense: 36
Durability: 30 of 30
Required Level: 27
Item Version: Expansion
Item Level: 77
Fingerprint: 0x5806aa45
[highlight]+2 to Druid Skill Levels[/highlight]
and I mean that literally...I have over a dozen blue +2 Drood circlets:scratchhead:
I have fewer for other classes, but still get them frequently...but 35 (and counting) rares with sufficient alvl have failed to get +2 skills...I'm coming to the conclusion that they CAN'T! :weep:
Regarding Tal's Orb and MF, its true you don't have to stack on obscene amounts of MF to get one...ANY Champion/Unique in Nightmare or Hell has ~5% chance to drop set quality even at 0MF, but with the proper amount of MF (633 in NM, 282 in Hell) ALL class-specific item drops from Champs/Uniques will be at least set quality...I know I'd rather not have to wait until the 20th Swirling Crystal dropped (on average) to get Tal's Orb...:wink:
Edit: I did some more calculations on this, and IF NM council is mlvl 61 (so sayeth ATMA), and IF the qlvl of Tal's Orb is the same as the base (Swirling Crystal, qlvl 43), then actually
612MF will suffice to force Tal's Orb if a swirling crystal drops (1:878 according to ATMA, but I'm not at all sure how accurate that is, TBH...). For Hell council, its mlvl 93, qlvl 43(?), so actually only
257MF, but the odds of getting a Swirling Crystal drop to 1:3974
