23 Runeword Search Thread

Nope. All you have to do is get the classic character into Hell Act 4 and they can then get into Hell Act 4 when converted. Once they've gone through Mephisto's red portal, they're good to go. I've rushed at least 40 characters this way so I'm 100% certain of this.

Yep, I pointed this out before, BUT, the earliest one can get to hell when converting fom classic is finishing act 2 in classic, and being in act 3 (ie start act 3 in D2X), which MAY be easier in D2X (. Most people have characters that can do hell council meph in D2X, and actually council is a total pushover with 2 x dwarf stars, and meph drops can be much better. For a good character like a teleporting hammerdin, it would only add a few extra minutes, tops, before going in for the hell hellforge).
 
Man, way too much to keep up with, I don't think I'm going to be able to catch my spreadsheet back up to speed, so it looks like we won't have a backup anymore and Xcel challenged readers will be out of luck.

Anyway just noticed people mentioning other recipes outside of the 1.07 list. I have a few on my spreadsheet that are from D2. net:

* Myth inactivated (mask) ( Armo ) Mask ( 2 ) El - Tir ( Tir 3
Starlight inactivated ( Weap ) Scepter ( 3 ) Eth - El - Eld ( Eth ) 5 ( El
Storm inactivated ( Weap ) Claw ( 2 ) Ort - Tal ( Ort ) 9
Terror inactivated ( Weap ) Claw ( 2 ) Eld Ort ( Ort ) 9
* Pattern v1.09 ( Weap ) Claw ( 3 ) Eld Thul Ort ( Thul ) 10
* Patter(n) v 1.10 ( Weap ) Weapons ( 5 ) Dol - Ort - Eld - Shael - Thul {{mace}} ( Dol ) 14 ( Eld
Steel #2 Inactivated ( Weap ) Sword ( 4 ) El Thul Mal Nef ( Mal ) 23
Sting v 1.10 ( Weap ) Sword Knives ( 4 ) Fal - Ohm - Um - Lum ( Ohm ) 27 ( Lum
Nature's Kingdom v 1.10 ( Armo ) Body ( 4 ) Zod - Um - Jah - Zod ( Zod ) 33 ( Um

These are either inactivated or listed as beta runewords from 1.10.

I also compiled a list of the former runewords from 1.07, but I strongly doubt these will be recycled. Couple have inadvertently been tested already:

I've been sucked back into work, which means although I still have some time at the forums (unlike poor wathombe), I still haven't been online much. I do have quite a few low runes for people who are testing to fill in. If you need El through Thul, let me know via PM or if I happen to be online at *PhaeaxII

Edit: And that's USEast SC by the way...

Apom: No, I'm definitely glad you got that admission out of Kenny-Z. It's always helpful to eliminate possibilities. Incidentally, he had been asked before, many times, but yesterday was the first time he answered. Because yesterday was August 31, I wonder if Bliz's master plan was to let us flounder in the dark for two months, then slowly start to let out real clues. Yesterday's admission may have been the first. I intend to watch closely (despite my ISP's frikkin' DNS server; can somebody help me with that?).

In fact, I think I was the first to ask the question in a dedicated thread, while it had been indeed asked multiple times in the course of other threads. Well, I may be entirely wrong and self-imbued :D, but it's the feeling I have. I don't feel like reading two months of posts on b.net to check it out, but you may do so if it's your wish.
 
Morning, all.

Updated: wathombe's runeword spreadsheet

Wand testers, who are becoming too numerous to mention by name: Great work, as usual. You guys will be surpassing the armor tests soon.

Shaft: I'll keep your spreadsheet uploaded just in case, but should I take it off the weekly update? Also, if anyone has Adobe Acrobat, maybe we can convert my spreadsheet into a .pdf for Excel-challenged posters? Do we have any Excel-challenged posters?

Phaeax: I know the feeling. August is very slow in my business, but activity will pick up a great deal b/t Labor Day and Thanksgiving. And actually, I don't have any trouble with d2.net or rpgforums, only with the b.net forums. And hey, those mostly suck anyway.

Apom: You may indeed have been the first to ask in a dedicated thread, I'm not sure. The important thing is that he answered, however, and that we can now toss all of his "hints."

--> Weekly update thread later today, as I'll only be in the office a half day tomorrow.
 
Following my previous suggestions, something occured to me. As you may have noticed, I had proposed something like ChamLoUmBer into a club, hoping for godly mods, but I quickly realised that four runes can not fit in any club and subsequently withdrew my proposition.

However, it seems removing the only vowel would be an intresting bet. CLB is still very close to CLUB, and would efficiently fill the sockets, with Cham Lum/Lem/Lo Ber. If I had to guess one among the three possibilities, the one with Lo sounds better, and the necessary godliness of ChamLoBer would make Breath of the Dying seem pathetic in comparison (though just not having the indestructible mod would still keep a 500% enhanced damage weapon below the weakest of all Breaths).

Now, I guess we won't be testing ChamLoBer before a long time. However, this possibility enlights the possible existence of Ko Nef Fal into a knife (again, simply by removing the vowels). I know krisses can have three sockets. Now, one low rune and two others that are quite accessible too - I'd definitely test this one if only I played ladder. In case anyone here feels like it, then make it happen.

I must temper my own enthusiasm, though : first, a word into a knife is quite unlikely, except if the 23 classes/23 words theory is correct ; second, perhaps the correct orthograph would be KoNefVex (ie, aligned on plural, not on singular) ; third, I just checked the Arreat Summit, and the correct class name is "dagger", not "knife" - which leaves me out of ressources.
 
just a point

that inactivated runeword "Nature's Kingdom" uses 2 zod runes, since that's 2 of the highest prizes runes i can imagine it would have pretty godly stats. like summoning a level 500 grizzly bear or something, haha now THAT would be fun. but btw only Ko+Ko have been together in a runeword. so it's unlikely that Zod+Zod would be. of course i'm just bored so i thought i'd point that out. I have cool news, i just made "beast" runeword, however tempting it was to randomly throw those runes into something to see, i decided to make beast instead, but it's kinda useless, so i suggest to others not to go make beast, i also made "Stone" last night, 9% from perfect, ends up with like 1958 defense, which is pretty nice.

now. the main question i have here is , how do you disconnect your connection once you've put random runes into a random socketed item. WITHOUT the server saving you and that (probably Jah+) high rune. I hear some guys just basically rip their connection off the computer, but i tried it and it didn't work, did i not do it fast enough? I hear this is not entirely a good thing for the computer. plz someone tell me how
 
Had time for a few wand tests myself:

El El
Eld Eld
Eth Ith
Tal Ith
Ral Eth
Thul Tal

Nada

Also tested alternate version of starlight in scepter.

Eth El Eld

I am pretty damn sure that anyone that told you this would very quickly feel the mighty wrath of the mods ban stick as iirc it is strictly against the rules of this forum.

No, ripping the connection out wont do a thing. The thing u want to do is called "rollback" and it cant be done that way. I'm not sure what program does it (maybe mh) but there is a way to send certain packets a whole bunch. This in esense lags up your iternet a whole bunch. this makes it so that blizzard doesnt save your charcter and u basicly get kicked and cant join games for 5 minutes. this is all from what i ahve heard, i havent actually tried doing it. If yu can figure it out gl.
 
Dawns_requiem and InsaneFarmer

Okay, guys, I didn't say anything when Farmer put up his first post, because technically the forum rule prohibits discussion of third-party programs, but does not specifically prohibit discussion of methods such as breaking your connection with b.net. I'm pretty sure that discussing MH and packet-sending programs, however, is strictly verboten. The mods have been very nice to this thread so far, and I certainly don't want to get it locked, censured, unstickied, or anything like that, so let's steer away from this conversation. You will notice that when discussing the European tester, I arduously avoided discussing his methods, for this reason among others.

If you two want to discuss these things outside the scope of the forums, though, trade e-mail addresses and go for it.

Not trying to be an ***hole here, just trying to keep us all out of trouble.
 
oops

sorry dudes i didn't know it was a program of some kind, i thought he was just disconnecting in some different way. of course i don't want to get banned for mentioning something like that
 
As I didn't fully understand the logistics of how forge rushing works and why classic rushers were in existence in the first place, I am now going to change my method of rune gathering entirely.

Actually, I'm not changing it much because I've been doing it because I never had the chance to actually rush anybody for the runes. So...I propose that one of the best methods is to get a cow-tipping team thrown together. Cheetah and I are already two on the list; anyone else on USWest softcore that would like to be a part of this cowing team would be a great asset.

Everything's so tedious, and I'm a lazy bastard, so of course I try and find the easiest way to do things.

Countess and Cow running by myself have cubed me up to a Lem, and that's not even consistently running them. Maybe a bunch of times a day. Not bad if I say so myself.

Another Possibility?

I have only gone through about a third of the posts on this subject, but I have not seen any mention of anyone trying DIABLO (Dol - Io - Amn - Ber - Lem/Lo/Lum - Ohm/Ort) or DIABLo (Dol - Io - Amn - Ber - Lo). Is this just something I've missed? :scratch:
 
ya, i wont talk about it anymore, dont knowing anyhitng else about it myself anyway. personally i hate hackers and i think that they pretty much ruin the fun of any game expecially games like rpgs.

The thing with diablo as a rune was an idea for a rune combination, and no u ahvent missed anyhting. Right now this form is drawing pretty much a blank if the WOW and the 1.07 things dont work out. we may just have to testout the 2os spread sheets. :(
 
Farmer and Requiem, cool, thanks.

One quick test:

AmnEld - small shield

Failed.

Thought maybe I was ready to run some areas in hell (Hole, Den) and tried my hand at hell Countess. Nasty uniques still spawn there that wipe out my merc and summon in a few seconds, though, and then take me waaaay too long to kill. Did find a Ko rune on a quill rat on the Blood Moor, though. Woohoo!

Night, all.
 
weird... i searched a site for various 1.07 runewords. and i matched a lot of them with the ones currently on wathombe's list on his spreadsheet. well here's 2 that i tried that wasn't on the list, but failed anyways.

Still Water. ElThul in 2 Socket Sabre. Gemmed Sabre.

Edit: Another runeword not listed that i just tested.

Beauty. ElRalEth in 3 Socket Helm. Gemmed Helm.
 
Bound By Duty. (Another runeword not listed)
TirAmnElOrt in 4 Socket Gothic Plate. Gemmed Gothic Plate.

Edit: Mist (Another runeword not listed)
AmnRal in 2 Socket Scimitar. Gemmed Scimitar.

Edit2: Enlightenment (Another runeword not listed)
