Fortitude in Ethereal Armors = Indestructible?

This may be common knowledge to everyone else, but I am confused. I recently made a Fortitude in an ethereal armor for my merc, and, after I threw in the runes, the armor said that it was indestrutible. I checked Arreat Summit and could not find any information that says Fortitude would make ethereal amors indestructible.

Here is the complete list of stats from Arreat Summit regarding the Fortitude runeword:
Body Armor
20% Chance To Cast Level 15 Chilling Armor when Struck
+25% Faster Cast Rate
+300% Enhanced Damage
+200% Enhanced Defense
+15 Defense
+X To Life (Based on Character Level)*
Replenish Life +7
+5% To Maximum Lightning Resist
All Resistances +25-30 (varies)
Damage Reduced By 7
12% Damage Taken Goes To Mana
+1 To Light Radius

Unfortunately, the armor disappeared today. I traded for the armor, then made Fortitude myself. I guess the armor was duped or something, although I did not know and could not tell, unfortunately.

No, White dupes dont go poof :/

I'm sorry, what are White dupes?

Also, does Fortitude in ethereal armors make such armors indestructible?

White dupes are duped base items, which have no item id and thus not poof.

They are not indestructable as far as I know, but items used by mercs, don't lose dura = indestructable on merc.

What the OP traded for was a heavily duped armor: an ethereal *indestructable* 4 socket base armor, which he then turned into a Fortitude.

I assure you, they can and do poof. My 4 socket ethereal indestructable monarch (obviously duped) went bye bye a week ago.

Wierd, I still have a few commenly duped white base stff on Nl, and I was told they wouldnt//couldnt poof.

Ouch, I wish I knew that before I traded for it. Thanks for letting me know, at least. I didn't even know people who use hacking applications could change it so that items could have a base indestructible feature.

It is possible for whites to be duped and not poof. But that doesn't apply to *all* duped white items. It depends on the nature of the base item before it was duped; I'm not 100% sure on the specifics so I'll leave it at that.

That's not how it works - when 1.10 first came out (I think this is when it happened), they introduced the hel + tp + socketed item = clean item cube recipe. People took ethereal items, placed a zod in them, and at the time, Zod was handled by making the max durability of the item equal to zero. This would give it the indestructable quality - bows and phase blades, for example, have max durability zero.

This, however, didn't change back - so if you put the zod in, it changes the max durability. Then you clean it, and it MAINTAINED 0 max durability, despite being clean - you then have an item with totally clean sockets and indestructability.

They must have fixed this somewhere along the way, though, because now it instead actually has an "indestructable" modifier, so when you remove the Zod it removes the indestructability.

Thank you for the really great information. I was quite baffled by my original thought concerning this! I really appreciate you taking the time to explain this to me.

If the item is duped without sockets or before a runeword is socketed in it it'll be 'perm'. If it's duped after being runeworded (even if it's cleaned with hel/tp) it will poof.

Quietus is right. Back in .09 there was no botd and such and 'Silence' was as good as it gets lol So people used the 3 chippie + elite sword cube recipe to obtain 3 open socket cruels. Other than these, a few godly ethereal cruels were zoded if they were worth it. Eg : I saw a Cruel Balrog Blade of Alacrity with a ed-ias/zod socket job. Now this would be an example of a .09 sword that benefited a lot from that zod bug Quietus was talking about ^^

Hello,

If I understand this topic, I make Forti with Indestructible? I play on Europe CBN. If I put in Sacred Armor 4 sox bugged ( that's my choice ) Zod and then put it to box and mute I have a Sacred Armor with 4 sox but with no Zob, but with Indestructible? If it work on patch 1.11 and Europe server, that will be the great news!

Cheers,
Largo

Doesn't work anymore. This bug was fixed a while ago.
