1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Hi
I found 100% stable scissors suwayyah rack in Lower Kurast.
Is it possible to drop Natalyas Mark from it WITH MY lvl 70 Druid ??
Thanks. Answer very appreciated.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

hellicek, the character level doesn't influence rack drops.

What does is the area level. I'd suggest reading the 1.07 guides since they cover racking very well.

Hi , I have read it a lot of times, but I wasn't 100% sure I understand it correctly so i rather asked :D
I have all the other items from that set and its pretty strong so hopefully i'm able to get this !
Thanks a lot!

After finishing mats/pats for all classes and patches from 1.09, it is time to dive into the world of 1.07. I've started a sorc and she is bumbling along towards normal Duriel. I expect things will get easier once I get to level 30 and get FO CM. I've been looking for a list of 1.07 uniques and all I can find are broken links, can someone point me in the right direction? I expect there will be more questions in the near future.

someone linked me to this recently, though I know I've found another site or two wit the list at one point. It should be accurate but may not include all of them

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Dived into 1.07 with a fresh start yesterday, and have been pushing through normal on a predictable FO/SS sorc. Act 3 is being really obnoxious hiding the spider lair but otherwise things have been going smoothly. My chance to hit, even with blessed aim, however, is quickly tanking to uselessness, so the last couple levels to FO are going to be rough, but hopefully blizzard will suffice.

I'm torn between going pure vita, and using energy shield and putting a fair number of points into energy. Getting addition damage taken goes to mana from gear shouldn't be too hard to find with some patience, so that isn't a major concern, but by that same logic, neither should be getting decent mana/mana regen gear to avoid putting points into energy at all. Energy shield sounds very useful in theory, with 1.07's different placement of it in the sequence of taking damage, as well as the availability of full regens.

Along those lines, if I give ES a shot, is there a recommended vit/energy ratio? Alternatively, is ES a dead end, and I'm better off just putting points into warmth or teleport for racking efficiency? Or even, is it possible to do both (ie, is ES relatively low investment skill points wise?).

First unique seen in early act 3, and boy is it ever worse than in later versions, heh! Still +skills are +skills...

I'm at about the same stage as you Espr, no uniques yet but I do have three set items.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

As a sorceress, I would personally be patient and wait till some cirlcet / coronet with + 2 to sorc skill levels drops... its .. i wouldnt say common but its dropable from creeps or chests or racks.. if ure lucky you can get also some additionall prefix in it or just add socket and put some perfect saphire into it to solve some mana problems..

As my experience is - sorceress is good to just stack + all skill levels items..

I have all skills at minimum level of 12 with my first sorc and it quite rocks.

Hope this helps :|
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Ah, I had vaguely recalled something about sockets with circlets, but couldn't remember what exactly. Thanks for the heads up!

I progressed to Act 5 before taking a break to run some LK in 1.13. Felt ironic to me, that the 'something different' break from 1.07 was running LK.

Grabbing the barbanian merc was a nice change, and luckily just before getting him I got a nice sword for him, so he's running around one-shotting everything. Starting to be able to be a full time caster now, using glacial spike, which speaks well for being able to switch immediately to frozen orb soon.

I may have bitten of more than I can chew with 1.07. I've killed NM Countess and I'm only level 39. Everything is so painfully slow. I'm not dying, just constantly grinding and getting nowhere, it's like playing D3 again. To make matters worse even though I have found 25 set items and 3 uniques, I've had only one item upgrade since mid Normal.

Bugged mpk rings are the key to make it more enjoyable.

Craft every sapphire you get ;)
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

6 weeks since I last gave an update, some progress, although I haven't really played that much

Good uniques racked so far:
3x Shako
2x Arkaine's
2x Wizzy
2x Skullder's (1 ethereal!)
1x Valkyrie Wing
1x WT

Couple of pics:

Also, I made Guardian. Since I was kind of scared after all the warnings I had read in this thread I equipped Arky + Shako, and self-mped with my Barb for BO. Was pretty easy (cheesy...) that way, I hid behind a pillar where the bridge begins in the Worldstone Chamber, staticed to a sliver and then a couple of Frozen Orbs. Fled to town once or twice (don't remember which), due to moron being ohk'ed, Sorc was never in danger though.

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Nice finds and grats on the Guardian!

Dual max damage affixed charms are rare compared to single affix ones. Just keep playing ;)
