23 Runeword Search Thread

Morning, all.

As for what the numbers might mean:

As psy pointed out, there are 5008882546 possible answers in that range.
As we factored last night, 5008882546 / 23 = 217777502
Does that number help us any? Maybe an r21 r07 r05 r02 recipe (PulTalEthEld)?
Is there any point in figuring out the base-23 number for that range (which would end in lots of zeros, or at least one zero, right)?

Just spitballing here.



217777502: You may be right that the numbers represent runes here but I would read it as:
2+1= r03, 7+7= r14, 7+7= r14, 5+02= r07 (because it is zero-two it doesn't change the pattern here?) Tir Dol Dol Tal
Tir ((7+7) + (7+7)) = r28 Tal, or Tir Lo Tal No idea on what to try it in...Anyone wanna volunteer a Lo for random testing :lol:? Hmmm is there something called Tir Lotal in WoW?
2+1+7= r10, 7+7+7= r21, 5+0+2= r7 (Thul Pul Tal) ...damage to undead/demon, cold and poison damage in a sword ...Frostmourne?

What about the other number? 5008882546 could be:
5+0= r5, 0+8= r8, 8+8= r16, 2+5= r7, 4+6= r10. Thats Eth Ral Io Tal Thul for people like me that hate numbers. Mana regeneration, fire resist, vitality, poison resist, cold resist in a shield? Anything in WoW even remotely fit this description?
 
That first number is approx the XP difference needed from lvl 97 to 98 and 98 to 99 divided over the xp penalty.

(291,058,498 - 267,026,144)/0.0049=4,904,562,041

If we assume that that 0.49% is rounded up, one maybe gets a slighty higher estimate.
Don't know if it is any help. A bit obscure if you ask me.
http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/basics/levels.shtml

I'm still working on the other number.

Grr pIER
 
Pier, the exp penalty at clvl 98 is actually not exactly 0.49%, it is 5/1024. Diablo 2 is coded to use only integer math almost exclusively, for speed.

Not that this is any help :)
 
OK been a while since we've had a forum based grid put up for non-Xcel users. Here's the latest updates:

Sokar:

All good ideas. I think I like ThulPulTal best (most consistent; add three numbers each for the runes). Again, no idea what kind of item.

Unfortunately, we could probably take the numbers in Kenny's question and make them mean anything. Theoretically, he will confirm the answer (assuming someone has guessed correctly) at some point today, so maybe that will give us a better idea.
 
Finally Updated 1.07 list.

I've still got a lum that I've been waiting to find a 2 socket wand and try bone. Any thoughts on bone vs. wings of hope? Also, if you were going to test wings of hope, would you look for a melee or missile weapon? 'wings' kind of gives me a missile feel...
Dan
 
uiy

i tried Tal-Ral-Shael remember Tal-Rasha post i made earlier in this thread, in a 3 socket jared stone, which is staff class, no luck, just thought i'd let u add that to the list

i also experimented with some 5 socket melee weapon with lower level runes i had, a 5 socket spear, Hel, tal, shael, ral, el which didn't work, and also io, nef, eld, el, um in a 5 socket ettin axe, stupid me put the um in, but it's ok, i had 2, anyways i have no idea how those rune tables work i got bug-eyed looking at them, but i assume that if these haven't been tried yet, you guys will add them.

peace
 
Updated Shaft spreadsheet now available:

shaft's runeword database

Dan:

If the item types from the original 1.07 runes.txt file hold true, Wings of Hope is actually a melee-weapon-only word. I agree that Wings sounds more like a missile weapon, but it was at least intended as a melee word at that time.

All:

Testing has slowed quite a bit now that we have passed the SolSol area on 2soc armors. I would like to encourage everyone to start testing the cheapie recipes in 2soc helms, where there are still vast swaths of untested permutations. If you are bothered by the normal/druid/barb/circlet uncertainty, test swords instead (although the likelihood of >2soc recipes is higher for swords than helms). Shaft and I will faithfully record and spreadsheet everything that is tested, so don't fear that your efforts will go undocumented.
 
Sorry - I've been actually soloing through hell w/ my sorc. It's my first time ever w/ an expansion char - and w/o any 'l337' items to give her, I've really had to concentrate on playing style and surviving. I'm starting act 5 - so I'll be done soon and be able to get back to more testing for y'all.
I've got a a 5-socket weapon (hammer, IIRC) and all runes in my stash, so I'll try wings of hope tonight...
Dan
 
Dan:

Don't apologize! I wasn't trying to criticize anyone by any means. (Furthermore, you've tested probably ten times the recipes I have, so I'm in no place to criticize.) I just wanted to point out that there are plenty of cheap helm and sword recipes to try even if one doesn't have Sol+ to burn in random runeword testing. I think we've got a great team and appreciate anything and everything that anyone contributes. As Shaft pointed out to me, questing and using runes to improve one's character is most important, as better characters have more opportunities to find better runes to test higher runewords.
 
back

Hi, to everyone who knows me, well I had recently quit d2 thinking it was for good, and i'd given my account to a friend on U.S. West. However I've decided that for the sake of it, I'll return because I would love to figure out these runewords, i am on 56k connection and in the East now so I'm switching realms as I will undoubtedly ping better on U.S. East. if anyone who reads this is on U.S. East and would like to co-ordinate their runeword making efforts with me, please let me know, or just add my account My account is "Tal-Rasha". It'd be appreciated since I don't know anyone on U.S. East. Mind you I'm going to start a sorc for rune runs, I'm also quite convinced that there's in-game hints implimented through the server side patch that activated the 23 new runewords. Anyhoo take care all, and thx to everyone for helping us find the 23 new runewords

Argh. You're a good man, Dan-o. ("Hawaii Five-O" music begins to play in the bg.)

Farmer:

That's great! We're definitely glad to have the help. I'm on West, but I know a number of the testers here are on East. I think someone was trying to put together a hellforge rush group on East a few pages back, but I don't know who it was.

(the mice told him to say that)

Inspired by Hitchhiker's Guide.

I sometimes think there is a garden path.
I sometimes think I am on it.
I sometimes think I am led further every day.
 
Of course. 42 had to be the answer. I can't believe I forgot the answer.

Farmer, You definitely are insane. Can't believe you burned an Um on a random 5 socket Axe. If you're wondering where your testing is going, I have a spreadsheet that wathombe is hosting (thanks) that has every test I've seen posted. The worksheet named "tested" lists every combo I have seen by item type>socket number>rune alphabetically. So far I have only catalogued 282 tests out of the 5 billion or so possibilities. But thanks for being one of the few that have scratched some off the list.
Also just FYI, orbs aren't really staves. They're their own kind of weapon. They aren't even considered melee class weapons (even though you can smack things with them).

Also I'd be up for playing with folks, but I only get on for about a half hour before I go to work/school in the mornings and if my girlfriend takes a nap (so I don't have to do house work. I swear I'm an endentured servant of some kind). So if your a morning person on USEAST my accounts *shaft.ed
