1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Moved my zon on to NM, currently level 36 at the Inner Cloister. I'll take out Andy tomorrow morning. LF destroys even without Crushing Blow, but I'm not looking forward to running into LI's without better gear.
 
Woot. Finally found a 2nd +3 summoning club (3 if you count the week where my computer wasn't saving things). This one is just in case I wind up trying out the dual-weapon glitch, which weill be based on @Thyiad 's response to the issue. It took 2 months find them and thousand and thousands of superchests

At least I can stop picking up clubs, finally.

Also eating through my sol runes making greater blood boots. Nothing crazy, though I have found a few usable pairs :)
 
Got my zon to level 40, currently in the Canyon. A little reluctant to take on NM Duriel without better gear, so I spent the last two days running Halls of Pain with my sorc. Not much to show for it aside from String of Ears, a couple socketed monarchs, and a shae. Need some vampirebone gloves to craft with the shae. On the plus side, I leveled my sorc from 73 to 76 in the Hall, so there's that.
 
if your armor isn't very good you could use 4x pruby armor (shop one with 4os and another mod if you don't have socket quests to spare)
 
11 green balrog skins and counting...

EDIT: 12... Fast approaching the point where I'll feel more relief than joy when a gold one finally presents itself....
EDIT: 13....
EDIT: 14....
EDIT: 15....
EDIT: 16.... General expectation would have been 2 gold ones by now. Not a lot of rares either, though.
EDIT: 17....
EDIT: 18 when forums didn't work for me, and 19 just now....
EDIT: 20.... also 3 uniques from the more random weapon rack next to it so far....

EDIT: BAM! Got one! Was wondering if I'd beat the worst case I heard of, 27 green ones before gold, but guess I got lucky? Better late than never. Now I just need a few more =)

I was looking over it to check for the differences in sockets from later versions, but came across that a War Pike could get 6 sockets. Most I've seen is four.
 
Didn't Grape or someone use an eth one for botd?
Yeah, but I'm more interested in what Larzuk would give in 1.07, since if there's a difference, you might want to socket that perfect superior ethereal Great Poleaxe in 1.07 and get 4 sockets instead of getting 6 sockets in 1.10+

I need that info for my time traveler guide. There's still a LOT of tricks I want to include, and I want to get them as accurate as I can before posting.

I'd also be really interested in cracking the crafting mystery. No one knows for sure what formula is used for affix selection and no one seems to know why there are exceptions from the ilvl=0.66 clvl rule.
 
Oh, I see what you mean. I'm not sure ;p

If someone has the time and wants to invest in it, it's very valuable information. I still think brute force crafting stuff 100-500 times would give us some information.
 
Would be cool if you find that out about the crafting.

Can't help but feel a little skeptical, cause even the almighty WoRG didn't figure it out :P Judging by his gear, he must've crafted hell a lot...

Oh, and my BotD is made in 1.13 CB. -.- lol.
 
I'll have to figure out how to extract the .txts then. At least the weapons.txt in atma is wrong, or for 1.09 or 1.10+ but the armor.txt does have monarchs listed as 3 sox, so that may be right.

Anyway, figuring out which patch to socket in is key information when it comes to optimizing. If you can just larzuk certain items in 1.07 to get the correct sockets for runewords, it makes them that much more easy to find.

About the crafting, I could always just dupe a bunch of the ingredients, but there may be some clvl which gives some rounding error or something very much unforseen. Or if the input ilvl and clvl matches, another error occurs or something.... Either way, I got ilvl 98 on a ring, so I'd wager it is possible on an amulet as well.
 
Well, it isn't an ilvl 99 bug, personally I got ilvl 98... I don't see it as more of a hack than checking the ilvl in atma/gomule before crafting or socketing, not to mention the numerous other bugs with 1.07. In for a penny, in for a pound is my general philosophy on 1.07. Of course, those who trade should declare stuff like old patches and bugs/features in detail.
 
I'm not sure the text files will help, they are probably exactly the same as included with ATMA. There are several mods to the text files that are hard coded elsewhere. Probably hastily done last minute bug / balance fixes.
