1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Tauren: I have no idea of Chromatic Ire can drop or if it's stats are any good. What I can tell you is that I ran Meph/Andy a whole lot and never got Goblin Toes. I have like 9 Raven Claws... So the drop rates will play with you quite a bit.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Could be just that bad luck. Goblin Toes is meph droping quite regurarly. Baal almost has gothic plate fetish = drops all the time.
Chromatic Ire has 50 % max life + other stats. So with Arkaine and Shako you should have 3k life sorc.

Quick question: I'm trying to level my first sorc from 24 to 30 and it's going slow (duh). What's the best place? I'm doing Eldritch runs for now, but I'm not so sure it's a good idea. I don't know how experience penalties work in 1.07, let alone what level nromal Superuniqes are.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

From what I understand the experience penalty's aren't really there. When I was leveling I found it easiest to just grab an item and check the ilevel in ATMA to find out the level of the area, but I'm betting that it is somewhere around 26-27. But I am just learning about 1.07 still, so there may be better advice. I somewhat remember doing runs on Nil's area to get to level 30, I think it is pretty decent.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

It wasn't so bad. I leveled Eldritch till 28 and then the Ancients took me to 29.95. Frozen Orb is sooooooo much more fun than Blizzard in 1.07. Shopping for a staff now.

Sounds like you found a solution on your own, but for future reference I found the Council to work really well to level from 24-27, before I returned back to Act 5 for Ancients. Good luck with your sorc :thumbsup:.

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I wanted to pose a question to the 1.07 community, that I originally brought up in this thread. I came across a Lem rune, and was thinking about what to do with it, one of the ideas of which was crafting a "Death" runeword:

20. Death (Weapon)
Dol Lem Nef Tal Eth

33% deadly strike
133% enhanced damage
Prevent monster heal
+200 poison damage/1 seconds & +75 poison damage/5 seconds
5% life steal
25% chance hit makes monster flee
50% extra gold
Knockback
-25% target defence

However, my one and only experience with crafting a runeword in 1.07 did not go well. I attempted to craft a "Beauty" runeword, using the recipe posted in this SPF thread. Pretty attainable runes, even in 1.07, and great mods...it was a no-brainer. I waited until I found a 3-os Death Mask in NM before finally using the runes. El-Ral-Eth...but instead of a Beauty runeword, it said "Blood", and it was definitely missing some of the stats. I received the mana regen, fire resist, and light radius, but was missing the MF and faster hit recovery, much to my dissapointment. Even more dissappointing is that this item corrupted my ATMA stash (which apparently can happen with runewords in 1.07; learned that from the thread I linked at the beginning of this post), and I lost what small amount of loot I had accumulated with my first character. I also unfortunately failed to take a screen shot of the helmet (/facepalm).

Anyways, I'm curious if anybody else has experienced something similar when tinkering with 1.07 runeword recipes, i.e. whether this is a known issue. I'm using TrenShadow, and downloaded the 1.07 version from the links availalbe in the SPF guides. Any thought are greatly appreciated :thumbsup:.

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Well this is not exactly the same, but I have noticed that the higher up runes have the wrong pictures in-game. I found a vex in LK, and it had the picture of an UM, everything looks right in ATMA, so I know it's a VEX. Also noticed that the barb skill level prefix's are all switched around and the name doesn't match the skill tree. These are probably known already, but I thought I would mention them just in case I am having a weird unique problem.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

@Greebo: You're not missing anything, you just need to level a bit more...FO is a tier 6 staffmod, and requires ilvl 37+ on the base...but shopped items are clvl+5, so if you're 30/31, you're not quite high enuff...in Normal, Larzuk/Malah/Anya are the only vendors which can sell tier 6 staffmods, as ActIV and earlier vendors are capped at ilvl 36 or less

@poopie_pants: I thought about 'Beauty' myself, but decided I was far too attached to ATMA to risk using RWs after loosing a few characters to corruption...if you do decide to use them, I'd definitely be careful and backup prior to making them, some things seem to corrupt characters if you even open them in ATMA, others will only do it if you click on or move the item. I do know that galtwish matted a Zon using 'Death' in a mat bow, and recommends it in his 1.07 Build Guide thread...I also seem to remember him posting a mat thread for her, but can't find it ATM...

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Sorry for the double post, but it won't let me edit for some reason...

I found the Mat thread I referred to earlier here

I was intrigued by your issue, so I tried making Beauty myself...ElRalEth in a crown worked right, with all the right mods, so I dug through my stashes and found a 3sox death mask, and that also worked, so I'm not sure what the issue was...I would point out that the mods you say you did get are the ones inherent in the runes used. FWIW, I run raw 1.07 without any other .dlls or version switchers, so maybe thats it...

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Hey guys, i've got a question for you. Likely been asked before, but this thread is too big to search completely :whistling:.

So recently i've started playing this patch. Standard FO/static sorc. She has a barbarian merc as i've read this was a better choice than the actII merc'. In the beginning this certainly was true, but now i'm continuously busy collecting armours and such to sell to get the cash necessary for ressurrections.
Currently i'm in early act I in hell. The question is how to keep the merc (lvl 50) alive. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt if he got some more lvl's under his belt, but what would be a decent place to lvl? Another option would be better gear. I've tried some Meph running in NM, but with MF being broken i hardly got anything from him. His current gear is: circlet with 14% resist all, gothic plate with FHR and lightning resist, and a great sword with some ED.

I don't need to get through the entire game as i created this char to go rackrunning. So (near) completing act III is enough.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Cyrax..

The best way is to go through the game because if i remember correctly the barb you can hire in hell is of very high level already. So i would reccomend that.

Also safety crafts is a good option to increase survivability for the barb as you can get safety armor and weapon.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

To get the barb in hell i already have to be in act V so that doesn't help much to get through the game. Not to mention my own barb will be of a higher lvl by that time.

The crafting however may prove useful. I was already searching for some jewels to craft something for myself, but i'll give this priority. Now if only some jewels would drop...
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Try leveling the barb in the Arcane Sanctuary in Nightmare, then in Hell...the corridors funnel the bad guys, keeping him from getting swamped, and you can help w/Static and Glacial Spike (yes, GS will do next to no damage, but it will freeze mobs in place while the merc does his thing). The ghosts and superchests are pretty good for jewels and runes, too...

In Nightmare, the standard mobs are mlvl 52, so he should be able to grab quite a few levels there quickly...in Hell, they're mlvl80-85, so experience is good, though he may have trouble with ghosts(PI)...don't forget that 1.07 mercs require VERY little XP (Example: my clvl84 sorc has >1,000,000,000XP, her lvl83 merc has 2,300,760XP)

I'll second the vote for safety crafted gear...a Zweihander is a good base: fast, decent damage, good range, and high enough qlvl that good affixes (Massive, Warrior's, Platinum, of Alacrity, of Slaughter, of Excellence) can spawn even if your character isn't high level.

Hehe true dat ...Brainfart from me :_)..If you really want to level fast run the multiple instances dll or just try and push for LK to start racking to get better gear..


Good luck m8

EDIT:.. To beat baal you cant trust your merc regardless of his level. All will die from his flame. You have to static from afar and dodge if he moves or spawns the second baal.

WoRG, I appreciate the extra effort you took in responding to my question
:thumbup:. I may try it again since the runes are not difficult to acquire, but will certainly back up beforehand, and def will keep any RWs in a separate stash. I'll take a look at that Mat thread you linked as well.

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

DON'T try to stash RWs...it will almost certainly result in corruption, of the character, the stash, or both...make them with the character that will use them, place them in-game, and stay away from them in ATMA! I have found that often even mousing over a RW in ATMA will corrupt things...

I store RWs (and items with the property "hit freezes target") on a MP mule named (appropriately) NO_ATMA, which is no problem for me, as I MP with multiple computers via LAN...you can also self-MP via multiple instances, but since I have the hardware and don't have to fiddle with anything, I take the easy road...it also means I don't have to use any modded .dlls.
