I find myself bored of D2, I barely play now...I played a total of 2 hours all weekend :S
If I could afford WoW I would have it, I'll wait for GW though.

Populous: The Beginning? Game's awesome, though I haven't played it in awhile. More RTS than RPG, though. You big on TFT?
Heavenly Stone - Amn Lem
Glowing Orb - Pul Tir
Clasped Orb - Pul Sol
I have also kept these three failed orbs, since I have not posted much on here and I used some higher runes in the tests. If anyone would like to see them, feel free to send me a message and I will show (account stilts3 I am on most nights).
Since I have achieved my goal of acquiring both Enigma and HOTO, I thought this would be the best next goal. I have started trading anything decent I find for pgems or runes. Feel free to check out my trades under user stitls3 (I made a typo creating that account).

Hi all, this is my first time posting on this forum but i figured i would offer my services in the rune word hunt. i took the liberty of downloading the .xls file of the search progress and decided to test a few of them as i can. also i play on west softcore ladder so if any of you want to work with me on this (or vice a versa) im more than ready to jump on board. the common accounts i play on are rskyy37 rskyy47 rskyy57 and rskyy67 . so far i have tested these combinations that all came out gemmed:
Armor
Lum/Eth
Sword
Tir/Lum
Lum/Nef
Lum/Ral
Axe
Hel/El
Hammer
Ith/Shael
Mace
Lum/El
Lum/Tir
Missle
Lum/Tir
Club
Amn/Ith
Claw
Lum/Tir
Lum/Eth
i will continue to work on them as i get more runes. hope this helps and happy hunting!

Cheetah: THUL+SOL in missile is listed as already done on my spreadsheet.
Alpha: Same with THUL+EL/THUL+ELD in clubs.
Remlin: Same with AMN+THUL in clubs, but that line is now FALSE, thanks. Next is THUL+RAL, then DOL+HEL.
Wathombe: Where art thou?
All: I'm not making this a habit!

He's got a whole team of us out looking for them.
That's cool. I'm just trying to find my own right now.
One failed test tonight:
Death Mask - Amn Amn
Since (at least) Cherokee and I are starting to spend pretty high runes on these orb tests, would it be a good idea to clear a test with others before doing it? I would hate for 2 people to waste an um+ on the same test.
One thing I am going to start doing is post a test I am going to attempt, then wait for confirmation from Cherokee before proceeding (since I am relatively rune-poor at the moment, I am trying to be careful with the Mal and the Ist I am going to use for this).

Stilts3, it seems right now we are a bit disorganized. But, we do have the spreadsheet that we check before testing. The problem is that it hasn't been officially updated for about 10 days. There have not been that many tests done that it would make it a daunting task to download a copy and update it yourself. Just go back a few pages to find the 11/22/04 post by Wathombe. It has the link. Then go forward through the post and check boxes as they have been tested.
Most important is to post your results immediately after testing. This gives us the best chance of not duplicating.

Hehe, yes, I've had many many orbs given to me for testing. I prefer to use newly found orbs, but when there is a shortage, I use Hel runes to unsocket them.
Currently, I have around 8 Orbs and 6-7 Hel runes. I just need to spend a little time trading higher runes down to get some more Lems. It is still my goal to finish the orb testing up through Pul + Pul. At that point, I'm not so sure I'll be willing to burn Um+ runes on testing, and might switch over to other item types.

Stilts3: It's best to post immediately for lower runes, as Remlin said, but I am of the same mind that higher runes should be offered to the main tester if more than one is trying the same item type, or at least state what you're about to test as you've offered.
Remlin: I've uploaded all but Stilts3's last test to my webspace, the link is low on the last page. Even though Open Office tends to save cursor position and last page opened, I've adjusted my style of saving to make sure A1 is the highlighted box on every page and TOC is the initial page. I just can't add any pages or such due to OO's inability to save in Excel format without totally screwing the file up, and using it's own format tends to screw up everyone else.
Cher0kee: I'm still disheartened by the use of HEL runes that could be better used in other item types, especially after last night's revelation that dozens of orbs may have been passed over all this time during cow, Baal and other runs. Add to that you're so close to slowing to a crawl in orb testing, as Andy has with wands, and that you could've been trading perfect gems for 2OS orbs in channels. After all, you find tons of gems and few orbs in cows, why not offer the gems for orbs? 20 for 20 I'd say would be a fair trade, and most people would jump at the chance. It's the runes that are the most valuable, using them to remove failed tests seems like such a waste, as does using ISTs or higher in 2OS tests for items that could, invariably, have more than two sockets (like swords, axes and hammers). Personally, I think wands, circlets and necroheads would be the likely items for IST+ testing, followed by all other helms, knives, clubs, orbs, and such. Even shields can get four, though only three non-aurics are among them.
As for the best place to find 2OS orbs, I think everyone here would easily know this. Check my last few test posts and you'll find plenty of low-level 2OS orbs being used. I find them leveling mules. They drop as early as Blood Moor, but the advantage is few other items can drop so orbs are just that much more possible. The key is as low as you can go with no magic find and as many kills as you can get as fast as you can. Even normal cows are a tad too high, as they can drop a myriad of other items, so find the earliest area with large stocks of monsters and have at it, it should go quickly.
