1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Today has been a good day. Arkaine's and Valk Wing from the same rack. (It dropped about 40% Balrog Skins, 40% Winged Helms and 20% Colossus Girdles. I'm not sure how many runs it took, but I have maybe a dozen of each set item. By the end, every Colossus Girdle was a little dagger in my soul.) I also found a 37 max damage grand charm and a Gul from LK chests (plus some assorted medium-high runes - isn't it weird when Fal goes in the high rune stash?).

As a side note: the 1.07 guide says that there are two good hall of pain maps for racking. I found the one where your wp is in the north corner and there's a room with two racks just to the southwest, but none of the other maps seemed to have particularly close racks. It's entirely possible I'm missing them, though. I don't remember the last time I went past Pindle; I didn't even know what the racks looked like. What other map am I looking for?
 
I took a screenshot, but it's on my other computer. I'll check tonight.

Edit: It was just a halberd.

All this time-travel jargon has me utterly confused... "Cube this, send it X far into the future, cube it again, send it back, send it forward twice more.."

@_@; That being said, it just dawned on me I still have my original Battlechest discs (D2 being 1.03, D2: LOD being 1.07) though I never played 1.07..

Hmm..... *Scours the forums for a "Dafuq is teh OnepointOHSeven" IntroGuide*
 
Found a little beauty today, was definitely more than I was expecting!

Just wanted to add the addendum to the 1.07 guide as well by yuiman:

Also, back in 1.07, huzzah!

And thanks to a trade with nulio, I'm racking in style with 105FCR and 122FRW. Hitting some chests at the same time so far I've managed to collect Poignard's of pretty much every curse EXCEPT lower resist (^^; ) and a couple dol.
 
How good would a 1.07 craft have to be to compete with 1.13 weapons? Obviously doubtful any would beat Grief but with the 3 sockets.. how close could they come?
 
Short answer: barring a few exceptions, they mostly don't compete without being nearly perfect. Even "just okay" ones can be amazing in patch though, or often right up to 1.09/1.10.

Long answer: design your ideal craft and see:

iLvl of crafts == cvl*0.66

PREFIX

Cruel, 201-300% damage, iLvl=51
Master's 151-250AR, 101-150%dmg, iLvl=56
Celestial 301-400AR vs demons, 201-300%dmg vs demons, iLvl=45
Divine 326-450AR vs undead, 276-350%dmg vs undead, iLvl=45
Fool's, 0.5dmg/lvl 16.5AR/lvl, iLvl=50
Screaming 0.75dmg/lvl, iLvl=50
Weird, 301-450 AR, iLvl=37

+2 skill tab for Barb, Pal (sword, mace, scepter only), necro (wand only), and sorc(orb,staff only), iLvl=40 *(+3 is listed as magic only in the txts)
+3 tabs might be possible (ilVl=60)

SUFFIX

of Alacrity, 20% IAS (all weapons), iLvl=25
of Quickness, 40% IAS (melee weapons), iLvl=46
4-9% LL and ML, iLvl=56 (for max amount)

of Evisceration, 41-63 max dmg, iLvl=45
of Performance, 9-14 min dmg, iLvl=48

of the Giant, 10-15 STR (melee only), iLvl=59 (55 for scepters/maces)
of Ages, indestructible, iLvl=50
of Damage Amplification, 5% ctc Lvl 1 amplify damage, iLvl=3
of Simplicity, -30% req, iLvl=25

Hammers and Maces only:

of the Tiger, 21-30 HP, iLvl=51
of the Tital, 16-20 STR, iLvl=58

pick 4 (max of 3 of any prefix or suffix, assuming that part is the same)(at least, I think I'm remembering right about this part)

All affixes for 1.07 are listed in the text files of d2exp.mpq; which can be copy pasted into a spreadsheet program.

I'm currently working on making the spread sheets a bit more readable in Libre Office, but it's not done yet. When it is, I plan on uploading a zip somewhere with it and a few text files (such as the TC/qLvl list for 1.07) somewhere and sharing.

Even so, it's a bit inconvenient if you're looking for item types, as all affixes for all items are mashed together, though at least prefixes and suffixes are in a different spreadsheet.

If you want it right now, as is, I can think I can email it to you if you PM me your email (or spoiler tag it, or whatever). I say I think, because I don't know if my (or your) email service flags/blocks .ods files.

Edit: Actually on that subject. My spreadsheet currently covers: Uniques, Sets, prefixes, suffixes, base armour (namely for def ranges and socket numbers), and base weapons ( mostly for dmg ranges/averages, speeds, and sockets).

Is there something missing that should really be included? Bearing in mind craft recipes and TC lists are held in easily readable text files (probably from RTB).

Edit2: Extra list of affixes ~ilvl25 that phar asked for, thought I'd share here too!

*charges: multishot(18), cold(15)/fire(13)/magic(12) arrow
CtC: chain lightning(25), lightning(13), nova(18), icebolt(6), firebolt(6,16,20),

repair(3,20), ease(1,15,25), 4-5 LL(6) and ML(7), +3(15)-5(17) light radius

Platinum(22): 101-202AR
Meteoric(27): 121-150AR
Massive(20): 51-65% dmg
Savage(26): 66-80% dmg
Warrior's(19): 41-60AR, 31-40%dmg
Soldier's(27): 61-80 AR, 41-50%dmg
*Visionary(25): 1%AR/level
of Pestilince (25): 32-72 over 100 frames (anthrax at ilvl 33)

of Excellence (24): +5-8 min dmg
of Slaughter (25): 15-20 max dmg
of Thunder (25): 1-(17-32) lightning damage
of Burning (25): (5-9) - (10-20) fire damage
of Icicle (13): 1 - (3-4) cold, 75 frame chill


*missile weapon category, not general weapons

Thanks for the list. Was just messing around last night when I rolled
Wraith Scratch

Required Dexterity: 110
Required Strength: 125
Required Level: 68
Sword Class - Fast Attack Speed
Item Version: Expansion
Item Level: 65
Fingerprint: 0x4260d592
+23 to Life
+292% Enhanced Damage
+2 to Minimum Damage
5% Life stolen per hit

Highest ED yet. Even a perfect Cruels/Masters/40 ias/amp with 3 sockets would have a hard time beating out runewords in later patches.
 
Obviously they wouldn't beat Grief, but with the 3 sockets I was wondering how close they would come to other RWs.. but even Oath potentially tops all but the best crafts
 
Again, without being able to be eth they can't match the runewords that can be made in eth bases. If you ignore eth bases (especially from 1.07/8 brought forward) in Oath, etc, the 1.07 crafts would be awesome.

Grief was just poorly designed sadly. Just too OP compared to everything.
