1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

IF we can gamble uniques, can we gamble Hydra Bows? They do appear at some vendors at least.

I spent some millions (around 4+) and saw none, many Gothic Bows though.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

From the 1.07 patch notes:


- Sets and Uniques can no longer be gambled for.

Also, quote from WoRG:

Gambling is a bit limited in 1.07...no set/uniques, and the usual target of rare ammys is not good as +2 skills is blue-only in 1.07. You can gamble for circlets, looking for a good blues to forward and socket (don't socket circlets in 1.07, they'll only get 1)...mlvl on circlets is higher in 1.07 and circlets are cheaper to gamble there than in later patches. You can also gamble looking for elite bases to craft on, but note that elite belts cannot be gambled (until 1.10+, actually).

If Stag/reflex bows show up to be gambled, there may be a similar limitation on bows, as Anya's Hell quest reward is the only currently known source of GMB's in 1.07.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

When gambling in 1.07 the base has a chance to be upgraded also?

At least I've got Vampirebone Gloves, Vambraces, Wyrmhide Boots. Just wondered if Hydra Bows can't be gambled, cause for example iirc belts can't be upgraded etc.

From the 1.07 patch notes:


- Sets and Uniques can no longer be gambled for.

And there it goes. Now someone go run 1.08 Pindle for the rest of your life for that WF ;)
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

On the plus side, it's "only" a net gain of 20dex compared to the current versions. (well and the leech is always 8%)

I was going to ask about that, too :p
I never saw a readout from the code or anything previously
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Basically, instead of 10str and 5 dex, it's 35 dex and the ml is always 8%; assuming the text/spreadsheet file entry is consistent with other items with similar/same mods, as seems to be the case.

In particular, the listed dmg/level integer value seems to be multiplied by 8 for all items--ie 20 for the Grandfather (2.5/lvl), 4 for arreat's (0.5/lvl), 8 for Athena's Wrath (1/lvl), and 25 for Windforce (3.125/lvl). With the first two being confirmed with readouts posted by others, and the third by myself.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Yeah it's not that much superior to modern version. It's just absurdly rare item (and thus would be cool to own!), which probably will never be found by SP players, since there's almost none who play 1.08. I don't remember the odds of it dropping but I think we would need a small army to farm Pindle before we'd see it :D

Yay, finally a Colossus Blade rack! Found the BK sword. I'll rack a second one for a possible merc need... rack is not optimal enough for me to run for a nice superior eth or GF. Maybe I'll get lucky. :)
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Found a 1.07 vex from the LK chest :)

It was the cuirass + quhab pattern, not the other one that I see posted the most often.

I'm running a wizzeh rack (may as well get a second one while I'm here in case I deed...and running the RoF chests too which are beside the WP. Occasionally I do a cowicy cellar run, and fairly often I do a halls of vaught run

Congrats for the Vex! So there's two known patterns right? Assuming it's the same 65k different patterns in LK superchests... I can expect another one after maybe 10k runs... :D

Hopefully you'll score a decent rune or two from RoF chests, gotta check my current map if those are near the WP. What's the ilvl of items from those btw? Possibility of the highest life skillers would be cool!

I haven't played a lot lately, but managed to get couple levels from cows. My Amazon is lvl 88 now. 3 lvls to go and I'll burn my few Lums and most of my pgems. Experience is still very good, especially with exp shrine... I ran a LK rack dropping Russet Armors, and there's shrine next to the rack. If it's exp shrine, it's cow time.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Just checked and they're ilvl 93... I guess I should keep the GCs I get from them.

Ya, I've only seen SSs for TWO vex patterns. I didn't bother checking the um/ist and other patterns I recall reading about
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Quick question for the veteran 1.07ites - I was reading a Mat thread for a Dreaming Enchantress, and the armor was 1.07 Arkaines. I realized that this armor is TEH BESTO for a Dreaming Enchantress, and am considering going back into 1.07 to try to get one (I gave up on my 1.07 Necro long ago) - any thoughts on the best entry-level rack runner? I'm thinking a Blizz/Glacial Spike Sorc with pumped Static to avoid the pass-through bug with FO. I figure this with a beta CtA and CM plus Delirium for the merc would be a suitable exploitation of broken time-travel equipment. I think I still have an eth 1.07 Thresher I traded for long ago, so I won't need one of those.

What chars to folks here use for racking?

OK - I fired up a Sorc tonight - used a Javelin until level 5, then put some Flawed Emeralds in a 3os Long Bow that my Necro must have picked up. Oh yeah, that worked. Had some low-end set items from Jimsfriend, so Arctic bow for the Rogue (Fire Rogue since I'll need her help killing Andy).

Planning on Static/Blizzard (maybe pump FO if I have the skill points). Not gonna touch energy - does 1.07 have Serpent's charms?

Is Hell LK where everybody racks?
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Quite a few key items can be racked in NM LK, but Hell LK has considerably more and is more common. I found spending time in NM LK to get some gear upgrades worthwhile, personally. Nihl's place is also racked in hell as the higher Alvl opens up more items (such as cranium basher), and he himself drops ilvl99items for re-roll fodder in later patches. There are a few other places as well, that mostly come up in conjunction with other targets, such as durance racks on the way to meph, or mausoleum racks before/after blood raven

Yes 1.07 has serpent's and snake's charms, in all three sizes, for eg:

Code:
Prefix 962 (snake) Grand Charm of Vita
Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus
Required Level: 69
Item Version: Expansion
Item Level: 88
Fingerprint: 0x5761694b
+36 to Life
+26 to Mana

Prefix 967 (serpent's) Grand Charm of Quality
Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus
Required Level: 22
Item Version: Expansion
Item Level: 88
Fingerprint: 0x174eb803
+55 to Mana
+13 to Maximum Damage

Prefix 973 (serpent's) Large Charm
Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus
Item Version: Expansion
Item Level: 88
Fingerprint: 0x6ca58b60
+27 to Mana

Prefix Chart
Code:

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

FO is very good and tested by everyone as something that works well in 1.07 (even if you have to be careful in which direction you should cast it when there's several monster). Since you don't need to "aim" it you can cast it when you run from scary stuff (example: duriel) and shards always hit, etc.

Just try to reach Hell LK fast since your main goal is racking Arkaine's :) A pit stop in NM LK can help also.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

All object drops in the halls of vaught (and the other halls, too?) are ilvl 99 so hit the superchest on your way down to lvl 3.

RoF superchests are ilvl 93 so if you get a map with those it's worth hitting them imo (2x near WP if lucky)

I got skullder's from NM LK but I haven't even used it. It's hard to give up ~190 life from a reasonable artisan's/joolerz armor of the whale. I barely shopped for any and even just 4os gothic plate does plenty of good with Prubies. You'll probably want ~800 life for hell duriel as his charge did ~500 dmg to me iirc. normal duriel aim for 200+ life

I'll definitely second a small amount of NM LK if you want to gather charms/joolz/gems
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I'm not playing HC, but 1 all skills/25mdr/30 vita is very hard to beat :) But yeah, maybe hc player would indeed prefer the most life available.

Found this from random skeleton in LK, I'll maybe test it on Travi Barb before BK set is available. Seems decent, but maybe too slow?

Code:
Spire of Honor
Lance
Two-Hand Damage: 66 to 279
Durability: 17 of 25
Required Dexterity: 88
Required Strength: 110
Required Level: 39
Spear Class - Slow Attack Speed
Item Level: 88
Fingerprint: 0x4cdf4abf
+145% Enhanced Damage
+50 to Minimum Damage
+85 to Maximum Damage
5% Life stolen per hit
Replenish Life +10
+5 to Light Radius
10% Faster Hit Recovery
111% Damage to Demons (Based on Character Level)

It was on lvl 89 char when copied the readout. Also found Blackhorn's Face.

And this:

Code:
Prefix 1262 Griffon Headdress of the Jackal
Defense: 53
Durability: 13 of 20
(Druid Only)
Required Strength: 50
Required Level: 23
Item Level: 88
Fingerprint: 0x6167de4f
+4 to Life
+3 to Tornado (Druid Only)
+1 to Solar Creeper (Druid Only)
+2 to Druid Skill Levels

What are the odds for three sockets? is it 1/3 for each 1,2 or 3 sockets or?

Not in a hurry to socket it, will probably do it when I know I've socketed everything I need right now.
