That's an awesome shield man. I've been trying to get those stats on a blood shield with -% requirements. 3os with a few IAS/res jewels? Triple or nothing eh?

Yeah, I spent my Hels on blood shield earlier as well. No luck there yet. Maybe you'll get it!

Now trying to score an awesome Luna, such as the one above but I'd like to have 'of Amicae' also.

Meanwhile in the spending the Orts land:

Grim Cleaver
Colossus Blade
One-Hand Damage: 68 to 240
Two-Hand Damage: 73 to 468
Durability: 27 of 50
Required Dexterity: 52
Required Strength: 150
Required Level: 76
Sword Class - Very Fast Attack Speed
Item Level: 65
Fingerprint: 0xd9fbe96
+18 to Life
+330% Enhanced Damage
+8 to Maximum Damage
3% Life stolen per hit
Requirements -20%
30% Increased Attack Speed

Now we are starting to talk. Okay, misses 10% IAS but and the ED potential is higher. But oh, I like it a lot. 'ShaelEth___'? Thinking about Travi Barb mostly.

 

[ilumivari]

how do u guys rush more than 1 slave? I can run multiple instances of d2 but they all take 1 core fully. is there a workaround?

 

[GalaXyHaXz]

With a little luck on a level 8 and 200 rolls later:

@ilumivari That would be the infinite CPU bug you are referring to. The game's translate accelerator ran by the dispatch table has a bug which prevents it from sleeping. I fixed this in extended singling and I believe it is also part of the Bliss Version Switcher now. That should cut your CPU usage down to 1%. You can also use task manager to "Set Affinity" to spread the instances across cores.

ExSingling also gives you a no-cd and fixes the dreadful loading times of TCP/IP games.

 

[ilumivari]

Great! Thanks @GalaXyHaXz .Will try that after work. I read about that "fix-in" like you called it a couple of pages ago in this thread but had no link to it.

Maybe I should introduce myself real quick:
Back in the day I started with 1.09 and have come back to B-net every couple of seasons and decided to play singleplayer instead about 2 years ago. Got a 89 FO Sorc and a 78 Ama.
I started to read this thread at page ~150. So much useful information here! Do u guys think its worth it to start from p1? It seems there were a few new discoveries lately so I'm not sure.
I have no intention about trading rn but maybe for the future: is it accepted to use D2SE as a form of having access to all version without having multiple instances of D2? It isn't mentioned in the Game Changes Help Thread so I'm not sure.

 

[GalaXyHaXz]

Glad to have you around, we like accepting new prisoners >=)
(steals lunch money)

I don't think D2SE is against the rules as long as the game isn't being modified. Any concerns you should direct to Noodle (the current SPF mod).

 

[ilumivari]

It works like a charm. I rushed 3 slaves to Hell yesterday to increase xp in my cow runs. I need to get my Sorc to lvl91 for crafting!
I also installed the RRM you had in your package so this disqualifies me from trading with u guys, not that I have planned that anyway. Other than that I will still update my progress here if that's ok

 

[GalaXyHaXz]

Get her to 93 instead so you will get 3-4 affixes. I got my zon to 98 today doing 8 player cow runs. I use a sorc to hunt down exp shrines. Have to be 99 to get cruel on some weapons

Also, you can use RRM/CRM in any version of LoD. It does not exclude you from trading. Some people still use it even in 1.13.

Affix Level Rainbow Table (magic level=0)

I'll upload the rest on mediafire soon. To use it, follow the qlvl of your item in the column, then you can see what alvl you get at each clvl. Items with qlvl >= 65 will use their qlvl for crafting regardless of clvl, however you still want to be 93 for 3 affixes. Interesting to note the "fishhook" shape created by the broken-logarithmic crafting function. This means some items (< qlvl 10) can get higher affixes than items qlvl 50. This is why you can get +3 on heavy gloves (qlvl 7) at clvl 96. Qlvl 1 items will be alvl 65 at clvl 99.

Did you get it running with D2SE ?

 

[pharphis]

I don't think RRM is allowed for trading in 1.07, though. I thought it was only 1.09+ (maybe 1.10+)

 

[GalaXyHaXz]

Did this ever actually get FAM approved? I saw Thyiad liked the post in the 1.07 thread you link the download, but it's not on any of the SPF FAM lists...

user=GalaXyHaXz, date=4/30/2017
Hopefully Thyiad will clear things up. But I assure you that nothing violates the rules.

user=redacted, date=04/30/2017
(...) I also msged Thy, and she said it was all good, just note that if using and trading you're FAM not Vanilla.

I should have said something earlier this year. Of course that moderator isn't around much anymore, but I doubt the current ones would contest. Go nuts

 

[pharphis]

I'm not really playing atm and didn't use it so far but it would have been nice when I did all those council runs

 

[ilumivari]

Did you get it running with D2SE ?

yeah. I just put the files in the 1.07 folder - no problem at all there.

its a really neat QOL improvement

 

[GalaXyHaXz]

Alright guys. Today is the day my Amazon, Zyzzy, reached level 99. This is pretty big since I've been playing on/off since 2006 and never got past 97. Then again it never struck as a worthwhile goal since I got sick of Baal runs. During one of the 1.13 ladders, I got a Hammerdin to 97, but Death/XP ratio kept him from getting to 98. Anywho, this isn't anything too big, since it's a twinked 99er afterall. No deaths though, and the ancients saved til 98.

Spoiler

So what's so good about 99 you ask? Well, if you look at the affix rainbow table, you will see that you must be 99 to get Cruel (51) on qlvl 61/62 items. This means I went straight to crafting some War Fists (61). Pretty sure I got a lower roll on Cruel here...

[pharphis]

it's pretty fast to get 99 in cows! My sorc is still sitting at 98, though.

 

[Albatross]

Fortitude gloves, huh?

 

[ilumivari]

93 now ... crafted some amys with 6p gems yesterday and had 3!!!!! sets ... will post them eventually when I'm at home.

What I was wondering while catching up in this thread: whats up with pattern in chests? They seem to drop different items everytime I click them. So why is it important for runes? Or are there stable chests (like racks) out there too?

 

[pharphis]

they aren't stable like racks but they have limited patterns (2^16 options) and if only a few of those are HRs (there are) and a lot of mid runes (there are) then it's a much more efficient way of finding mid+ runes. https://www.purediablo.com/forums/threads/official-1-07-superchest-thread.933866/page-3#post-8780265

and read a bit further if you want to see more possible patterns. I went through all of my screenshots to make up the first table (and a few others contributed as well) so the LK patterns are mostly figured out, except for things like hel runes that have dozens of patterns. All of the most important ones are *probably* solved.

 

[ilumivari]

Okay. So 65k chances where ~30 are Runes - that doesnt hype me too much tbh

[helvete1]

Couple that Tancred amu with the boots for some kickass MF, FRW and resists all in the same package!

 

[pharphis]

well remember it's 6 chests per run so it's like 30/11k or 1/370 runs per mid-rune, round up to ~250 or 300 if we assume there are a few useful patterns missing.
