Hi, and welcome to the 1.06b part of the Time Traveler's Guide to Diablo II
If you haven't already, read my general time travel guide first to better understand this one.
1.06b was the final version of Diablo II before the expansion Lord of Destruction was released. As I already did an extensive guide to 1.00, and as a good guide has already been written for 1.06b in general http://www.diabloii.net/forums/threads/a-guide-to-classic-1-06b.745320/, I'll make this short.
Our use of 1.06b will be singular: Cubing rare amulets for 1.07 and later, with ingredients gathered in 1.00. The only really interesting recipe is: "6 Perfect Skulls + any rare item = new rare item with ilvl 99". The recipe was introduced in 1.04, but I don't believe anything changed with regard to amulets or the recipe until the expansion, where this recipe can never yield item levels above 65.
In case you want to have a go at 1.06b anyway, these are the changes which make the biggest impact:
- Plentiful stability improvements, none of which matter to present day computers
- Cow level portal can no longer be opened by any character who got credit for a King Kill (1.02)
- Whirlwind is significantly nerfed; however, lances can now drop, so it's still brutal
- Infernal and Milabrega sets can no longer boost skill levels indefinetly
- Two-handed swords, hammers (and bows) now have their proper damage
- Corpse Explosion has greatly reduced radius, and no longer scales with extra players
- "Bonefarming" no longer works (1.04)
- Gem effects are no longer randomized
- Iron Maiden/Blood Golem combo is not as good as it used to be, but still feasible.
- Lord De Seis no longer "thieves" potions
- Experience is no longer awarded for maggot eggs nor young [can someone plz check?]
Well, back to the cube!
As there is no use for skulls in 1.00, we will forward them to 1.06b for a chance at some pretty nifty amulets
[INSERT SCREENSHOTS HERE] <--- to be updated
As you may already know, classic has no "magic only" affixes. However, LoD 1.07 lists +2 class skills as magic only. And in 1.00, the only feasible way of getting +2 class skills amulets is gambling with a lvl 84+ character.
Here is the list of available affixes on amulets:
Now, there are three things which need to be crystal clear:
1 - Anything with a RANGE in this list, such as "titan", suffers from the "off by one" bug. This entails that even if "titan" is listed with a range of 16-20, the actual range is only 16-19. This goes for ANY affix whith a "-" in it.
2 - Amulets in 1.00 through 1.06b have a "magic_lvl" of 2, which means their ilvl gets a bonus of +2 before affix selection. Thus, the actual ilvl required to get +2 Character Skills is actually ** (eighty-eight), not 90 as indicated in the above table.
3 - Prefixes and suffixes are grouped. Any affix CANNOT be chosen on a rare IF another (or the same for that matter) has already been picked from that group for that item. I have no hard evidence, but from what I could gather from testing:
- Anything which grants the same bonus, but in different ranges, are in the same group. Thus, an amulet with the "titan" suffix CANNOT also have the "giant" suffix. This is what we're used to from LoD.
- Skill bonuses are in 5 DIFFERENT groups, which allows a 2/2/2 sorc/necro/pala amulet, but NOT a +3 skills amulet.
- A prefix cannot be in the same group as a suffix, so any combination should be allowed, which SHOULD make 48MF amulets possible...
- Resistances are grouped by fire, lightning, cold, poison and all. Two resist fire affixes cannot spawn on the same item UNLESS one is part of the "prismatic" prefix. Same for the other elements.
[Still needs confirmation for dual leech. Could both leech suffixes be in the same group?]
