building a claw

I am tired of attempting to explain how you can get some extremely powerful claws with low level staffmods. So I am in search of some low quality elite claws. yep you heard me right low quality as in cracked or other low quality mods.

I have the ability to get the el(d)'s, chippies, and other materials needed to build these great claws but I am short on low quality claws. Any one have some helpful advice on how to get such claws I was thinking act 1 hell with 0 MF or act 5 nightmare bloody hills with 0 MF.

A white claw with +fireblast, +shockweb should be able to be created, first you take the low quality claw place it in the cube with an el and chippy and transmute, the claw then has an ilvl of 1 and tier 1 staffmods with a 10% chance of tier 2 staffmods.

Would anyone else like to join me in attempting to create such claws?
 
I may attempt one of those if I find one in hc. Interesting idea and keep me posted on the results please ! I may use something like that as a base for a Chaos claw to try a ww/kick hybrid sin or something.

EDIT: I am sure one of these will drop doing some pit runs.
 
I would think cows are a good place, with no immunes, and large amounts of monsters. I think you'll need Hell cows to get elite ones though.
I guess it all comes down to number of drops/hour, and for this cows are good. Also, you may be able to pick up some of the needed cubing stuff :)

Good luck,

Gouda

P.s. I may consider doing this with a necromancer wand, it could be a nice boost to both raise skelly and mastery.
 
I'll be on the lookout for them.

just a quick question -- after reading your guide, does that mean you can get +3 SM/+3RS wands by cubing up cracked etc...?

Thanks, sorry for asking a question to which you get asked alot.

yepper and it also means that you can socket them with 2 sockets (so long as the base wand has a max of 2 sockets) and place the runeword white into them. :)

I think with claws though the max socket goes to 2 sockets with an ilvl of 1 so chaos blades with +clawmastery might not work, but venom runewords with claw mastery would :evil:
 
If you want low-quality/cracked/damaged/crude/etc. stuff, I think you can only get them from chests/urns/barrels/etc. and not from monsters. In my experience, in NM and Hell, monsters only drop standard and superior items. All the low-quality stuff needs to come from chest-type drops. Maybe it's different in 1.10, though. *shrugs*

well first off you can not get the ilvl down below ilvl 25 with a blue item.

second
I am looking for the staffmods with the low tiers IE +clawmastery

third I am looking for cracked or low quality claws that I can try to cube up to normal claws.

lastly the tier 1 staffmod can only be made on exceptional and elite claws with low ilvls that claws ilvl is 94 so your character was clvl 89 when it was bought. May be if you purchased claws in Hell with a clvl 1 character you could shop those claws. :scratch: maybe you could do that with the anya shop on realms.

RTB or Thrugg is there a min ilvl a shop can sell at, I know low level duelers can trick the game into letting them get to Hell without clvl 40 needed for the ancients in nightmare. If they shop in hell with a clvl 1 character and are the only one in the game then could they anya shop for the low tiermods on a blue item???
 
Well no luck finding a low quality claw yet.

I did a cow run, bloody hills run, and quested to get cain in Hell, nothing but one white suwayyah, and 2 low quality quhab's quhabs being just under the staffmodable claws dang it. Still looking for them, as I proceed into Hell with my elemental druid.

Anyone else have any luck finding/making them?
 
I made 4 claws and 2 sacred targes that were all low quality. It rerolls the mods alright and one sacred targe became a 45% resist all. I still need to socket it and hope for 2 sockets for a Rhyme.

The claws were bad but some had the lower skill mods on them. The best I had was a +2 claw mastery no other mods. Its all a bit of luck needed. I found most of these items while running chests in Lower Kurast as discussed in another thread.

lower Kurast in Hell I am assuming.

+2 claw mastery nice the other one come out with nothing?

nice reroll with the 45% resist all was there any staffmods on that one? you can get up to 3 sockets with that one thats one healthy resist all bonus with ral ort tal.

glad to hear that its working for you.
 
Wouldn´t it be better to shop for a Witch-Hunters, Cunning, Shadow or Kenshi´s claw instead? You will get +2 or +3 to the skills you desire the most, possibly with a decent suffix and some other useful +skills as well.

OK, you can socket and make 2-socket runewords ('Strength' should work) in the non-magical ones but this idea appeals far more to me for the necro wands, because of 'White'.

One of the others had +1 shadow master and came out blank (white claw) no mods. Are you sure you can get up to 3 sockets on a lvl 1 shield ? If it becomes a 3 sock I will save it for a ko-ko-mal I think, its worth it (and the two ko's I have).

I still need to do a lot of tries, do you want me to keep a better log ?

One wand I did came out with +3 skeleton mastery which could be very nice too.

Yes those could be much better items for higher level characters, strength runewords and other 2 socketed runeword would be nice in claws with + claw mastery. These claws could also be adjusted by other means (rare jewels) though they could never get +all skills, +skill tree bonus'es. To get them rare claws would have to be rerolled at 6 Pskulls a reroll that gets really expensive really quickly. chippy and an el/eld is cheap compared to 6 pskulls, or worse yet pskull SOJ.

Thats not the point though in the Assassin forum people are always commenting that staffmods in the lower skills are not possible. I am just trying to prove them wrong. and think of a good way to use them, for say low level dueling.

White runeword is very nice in this aspect as you can get the 2 sockets needed with really nice raise skeleton/skeleton mastery bonus'es

@ Malachi yeah if you keep trying them maybe we should start a log.

claw type
staffmod 1
staffmod 2
staffmod 3

Anything else is irrelevent with claws damages are all averages.

Not to mention that a +3 claw mastery claw with possibly another mod could be close to ideal for a WW sin/chaos claw since not +all skills can spawn on white claws as far as I know (only on magic or rare).

Chaos needs 3 sockets. As far as I know, you can´t get +3 claw mastery on a claw with high enough item level for the claw to support 3 sockets.
 
jiansonz do you happen to know what the max sockets are for a ilvl 1 elite claw such as suwayyah?? scissor suwayyah?? All of the webpages I have seen have said they all come with 1-3 sockets, similar to the 4 socket max of the high elite armors.

If they would give 3 sockets max then the chaos blade with +3 claw mastery would be one of the best chaos claws available.

As for your earlier comment about why strength in a +3 claw mastery claw instead of a +3 tree claw. I thought of a simple answer crushing blow. you can only get it from crafted, uniques, sets, and runewords. So if you want to include crushing blow add in the +3 claw mastery and bingo there you go you have crushing blow and +3 your claw mastery skill.

edit: on a side note +3 claw mastery would be really nice to have on my single tree martial arts build. Its too bad that voids the build guidelines :uhhuh:
 
I don't understand all this about low level staffmods for wands. Claws, I understand. But I bought a 2-socket bone wand in ACT II Normal with +3 SM.

Are people forgetting that you can easily get low level staffmods on 2-socketed wands, or am I somehow unaware of something which prevents a shopped wand from having +3RS & +3SM (other than patience?)

As a side note, I also just made a white wand with a net of +8 to Bone Spear! (+5, and + 3 to poison and bone)

Cheers
