1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Sweet, thanks.

Hit 62 and equipped the wizzeh nulio traded to me. Found a skullder's after about 800 total runs and then I rushed to hell LK.

Hell duriel's charge does a lot of dmg :o
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Has any successfully time traveled running 1.07 in Wine on Linux?I simply can't get it to work. Have mounted the ISO with fuseiso and added the fuse directory to winecfg as D:, and I can launch the installer from the CD directly. I can even install fine. But then when I try to run it, it can't find the CD.

Edit: It finally started working. Part of the problem is that I still had a Patch.mpq file running around. My god is levelling slow.

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I'm just over halfway reading through this thread, now.

I saw a question by thefranklin go unanswered. He asked if Windforce could be gambled... does anyone know the answer to this? I know that windforce is supposed to be unfindable through racks/monsters but I know you can buy hydra bows...

I was also wondering what level people usually aim for before crafting prismatic amulets hoping for sexy rares or uniques (like saracen's).
I'm currently lvl 72 on my sorc and using a boring 1 sorc skills ammy.


I rolled a 29/10 MPK ring the other day, so very happy about that. I've also come to realize that blackhorn's face (champion drop in hall of vaught) does wonders for merc survival against LE bosses... and this is with only ~37% lite res. Does anyone know if it is just as good at stopping MS/LE? I'm under the impression that those bosses only hurt so much because of a multitude of visible and invisible bolts hitting the player.. and not just buffed bolts on their own. So I would expect lite absorb to work!

I've now read that players have found a gul, Lo and vex from LK superchests. I've seen the same vex drop pattern over and over and no others, unfortunately
Does anyone know what HRs Act 4/5 chests can drop?
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Recently restarted 1.07, my sorceress is at River of Flame at level 23.

I've run into a small problem though. ATMA V doesn't seem to be working. It claims that it's removing items from my character and putting it into a stash, but the items aren't disappearing from my character. The items aren't being duped either, since when I try to put the items which are supposedly in my stash back onto my character, they don't appear.

Any idea what's wrong?

I had this problem very briefly when I started, too. I'm not sure why it was happening, but I had to exit ATMA and reopen it - maybe even D2 - and then it worked fine and has since
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

@pharphis: Nope, still doesn't work. I've tried reinstalling it, disabled my antivirus (Norton doesn't like ATMA), done the usual "Run as Administrator" "Run in Compatibility Mode with XP Service Pack 2" and still nothing. Could it be something to do with Windows 8? Alternatively, is there a different muling program I could use?
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Sorry, no idea what to suggest.

Almost all the way through the thread, now. Thefranklin showed a secon Vex pattern so that's at least a bit promising.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

The only thing I can think of to suggest, is perhaps try some older versions of ATMA. I remember people reporting in the past having more success with older versions, particularly 3. I remember 4 working fine for myself in the past, but also some people reporting it being more problematic than 3 or 5.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I spent the day cataloguing all the prefix numbers with their corresponding prefix name and I've got almost all of them. Pity it doesn't help ATMA with the display error!!!
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

With time it gets easier to find the 1.07 stuff in ATMA (assuming we are looking in the right stash... GoMule rocks for that with the "All" option). Single res charms on top, all res charms bottom, skillers next to single res, damage ones after skillers, etc, lol.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Is there any use for a Doombringer? In this or current patch. I'll run that map anyway, to get a 2nd Valkyrie's Wing and maybe one more Arkaine's if VW drops soon...

These should be the stats:

Doombringer Champion Sword 77
Increase Maximum Life 25%
+200% Enhanced Damage
40% Bonus to Attack Rating
Indestructible
Adds 30-100 damage
5% Chance to cast level 3 Weaken on striking
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

After a few hours of rack running I pump up the MF (to about 250%) and start running NM Meph for some interesting equipment and I get this:

Bone Clutches
Gauntlets
Defense: 13
Durability: 23 of 24
Required Strength: 60
Required Level: 38
Item Version: Expansion
Item Level: 59
Fingerprint: 0x26ebf22d
78% Extra Gold from Monsters
24% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
20% Increased Attack Speed
+2 to Javelin and Spear Skills (Amazon Only)
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Not bad TheNix!

Golden Winged Helm dropped after 5 green ones. Now I'm on nr 6 with green Balrog Skins. Not taking those Champion Swords from that weapon rack anymore. Can't see any use for that sword, but I can force it dropping Great Poleaxes too. There's also always shrine next to hut with superchest and rack. Whenever there's exp shrine I make one cow run.

Cows gave me my first life skillers in 1.07 today:

Code:
Prefix 1166 Grand Charm of Vita
Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus
Required Level: 69
Item Level: 90
Fingerprint: 0x12ebfc65
+36 to Life
+1 to Shape-Shifting Skills (Druid Only)

Prefix 1167 Grand Charm of Life
Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus
Required Level: 14
Item Level: 90
Fingerprint: 0x573433e3
+17 to Life
+1 to Elemental Skills (Druid Only)

Nice. Charms from chests and other objects have ilvl94 there, and I think it's the same with bosses... So there's a tiny chance to get that 41-45 life skiller also!

Aaand here we go, its my 3rd. I think I won't need any more soon.

Code:
Arkaine's Valor
Balrog Skin
Defense: 1554
Required Strength: 165
Required Level: 85
Indestructible
Item Level: 87
Fingerprint: 0x16b08c9d
+200% Enhanced Defense
Fire Resist +50%
+2 to All Skill Levels
30% Faster Hit Recovery
+174 to Life (Based on Character Level)
+217 to Vitality (Based on Character Level)

Also Lum rune on the same run. Next up, I need to get to lvl 91. I also need to find Colossus Blade rack. My Barbarian needs the BK Sword, everything else I have already for him, just need to lvl him up a bit and start smashing Councils... :)

I am pretty sure you CANNOT gamble a set or unique in 1.07. It was a patch note in 1.09 that they added like a 1/100k chance of it in 1.09 (but it never happened for me in 1.09 either).

This is THE merc helm for surviving against MSLE - once the resist is high enough, lightning actually acts like life leech with this helm, so MSLE is like a whole bunch of life leech (but Conviction ruins that, of course).

Thanks, that answers the question :D
I did eventually see it addressed a few days later on my read through the thread.

It seems good, now I need a source of lite res.. perhaps if I had a socket quest I'd put an ort in his helm... or if I spent a lot of time shopping for lres/life armor and get lucky on the sockets it would be an improvement over his ~160 life armor

*whistle* Very shiny!

I agree RobbyD. My inclination was that there was no gambling for uniques in 1.07 and 1.08, but I can't for the life of me remember where I read which versions don't have it.

Edit: Doh, apparently in this thread. :X

I racked Jalal's Mane yesterday (still no sight of Colossus Blade rack).

Code:
Jalal's Mane
Totemic Mask
Defense: 88
Durability: 14 of 20
(Druid Only)
Required Strength: 65
Required Level: 42
Item Level: 87
Fingerprint: 0x480413d6
+50 to Life
Heal Stamina Plus 20%
Knockback
20% Faster Hit Recovery
25% Chance of Crushing Blow
+2 to Druid Skill Levels
+1 to Shape-Shifting Skills (Druid Only)

I haven't made Shape Shift Druid yet in SP, but I would really like to. Maybe I'll play it through in 1.07 and run some Travi for example for awhile.

Is the knockback good or bad with melee chars? I've only used KB with some Strafe Amazon... Do you think this Jalal's can beat Guillaume's in terms of dmg/all around goodness?
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

RoobyD they migh have changed the odds for gambling them in 1.09. Could that be it?

It would be weird if they removed the chance to gamble sets and uniques in 1.07 LoD and then bring it back in 1.09, since that would be the case. But since the chance was huge in classic they could have done it.

The 1.07 guides don't mention gambling in 1.07 at all.

Ya, that's why I had never heard of the gambling difference. I know the player guide (battlechest) mentions that the chances were reduced (iirc it says reduced, no removed) from classic to expansion but it's not unheard of for that guide to be incorrect
