Anyone here on EU times want to start the Diablo 2 Resurrected ladder with me come Saturday? Always more fun to run with a friend. I've one other guy but he's busy this coming weekend so I'd be all alone otherwise.
Nilathak finally decided to drop me something that isn't complete trash. He sure hasn't been dropping any keys today at least.
>>1402705I have never played ladder, always offline, but thinking of trying it out this time. What's the main difference?
>>1402705why would i play this over the new d4 league
>>1402705have they added ultrawide back yet?still amazed they removed it for release
>>1404537My bad I didn't notice anybody had actually replied.Mainly ladder only runewords though I believe they're available in single player, and a race against everyone else to the top without bringing over tons of GG endgame gear so everyone more or less has to start from the ground up.>>1413426Because D4 sucks.>>1413739How do I tell? I've not played since release so I don't know of any such option.
>>1415271without an ultrwide, Im honestly not sure. it might be an option for display in the settings. would be 21x9 aspect ratio, 3440x1440 resolution for me specifically
>>1415394I'm unsure how to change the option, it's greyed out for me.
Made this for a friend's dad, because he REALLY doesn't get the idea of weapon switches.
anyone want to trade this for Goldwrap?
>>1416490>anyoneI'm the only guy here pretty much atm.I do have a goldwrap but I'm using it for lack of anything else to use, I'm also after Paladin gear rather than Barb.https://traderie.com/diablo2resurrected/Great site, highly recommend you learn and use it, though if you want random items other than super popular ones to sell within your lifetime then you need to undersell. Your best bet is runes and keys, then trade those for what you need.
Neat, did l didn't realize there was a thread. New season on HC SSF going pretty well this time - just finished hell on javazon and didn't blow up to dolls for a change. Some good finds so far: >shako>arachnid mesh>eth 4os caStarting to farm sundering charm and 3/20
>>1417126>arachnid meshI'm jealous, I really need one.>and 3/20How are you doing that exactly?
>>1416536I will keep an eye on pala gear, playing necro myself now. Just finishing up act 3 on nightmare but will probably do few Council runs. Anything you are looking in particular I should keep an eye on? Oh yeah and im on ladder
>>1417212I have a budget setup going, most of what I need now is runes (both mid and higher, I'm after a Ko and Pul atm for my hoto), white base shit like a 3 socket Mage plate / good eth armour and polearm for my merc, and actually good unique items I'm sorely missing like Arach mesh / Soj / Griffons / War Travs.Biggest upgrade would definitely be an Enigma so I can stop relying on a fucking Naj's Puzzler for teleport.Want any assistance with a rush in exchange for your hell hellforge drop? I'm level 90 and can slowly start crafting caster amulets now and will think of you if I get a Necro one.Amplify#11104
>>1417215I will keep going solo for a while more and keep an eye on stuff that can be useful to you. I will probably grind diablo and baal on nightmare for a long ass time to get gear i want so i will more then likely stumble upon some of the stuff you mentioned. albeit i dont recognize half of the stuff you mentioned but i can still try to be useful. Im not a total noob but i barely understand the terminology of d2
>>1417236Sure. You can grind Baal in public games on NM to level 75 without too much difficulty, but honestly you're not going to find shit in the way of good items in NM.I recommend you hoard runes, get to hell, make the best version of some budget runewords starting at a minimum with Stealth and Lore, then something like Wealth or whatever you think would help but still costs peanuts and then repeatedly run either The Countess or Lower Kurast in hell for something valuable and go from there.If you do decide to get a boost from me, I don't mind teaching you the tricks and showing you stuff as we go.
>>1417236>>1417240Oh and a Spirit runeword weapon and ideally shield if you can get one, forgot to mention that one.If you find a 4 socket Crystal sword it's very easy to make.
>>1417240>>1417242I have spirit and stealth, tons of low level runes. Didnt want to make Lore yet since i got Undead Crown really early and its carrying pretty hard with its +3 to skele mastery. I fucked up with spirit tho, put it on giant sword because im a retard and didnt read its 2h lel, still using it I got Kuko Shakaku on last run on Mephisto if the Amazon player is interested on it, it looks pretty good with lots of free skill +
>>1417248>Kuko ShakakuHas one potential very niche use, otherwise is basically vendor trash. Bowazons are rare anyway, anyone playing a Zon is generally going to go Javs.
>>1417254Ima save it for a while, that holy fire paladin mem spec sounds fun to grind low level stuff. Just takes ages to kill Mephisto and im basically fucked if there are those casters behind him. Still pretty fun
>>1417264One thing that would help: If you have Sigons I'm going to make a new char soon and it'd help to have a full set of that.
>>1404537the main difference is that you can leech trist/council/baalruns to level really fast for free
Oh shid>>1417165>How are you doing that exactly?Spending a day of 2 talking to Charisi and Gheed in Nightmare
>>1417280I thought you were talking about small charms, my mistake.
>>1417267If i get them i save them. I have sold some set pieces away to make room for stash but i keep those if i get them. I think i have few amulets with +1skill to amazon, assassin and druid tho if you need them
>>1417291Actually just got the full Sigons set so I no longer need it, but thanks for the offer.I am however interested in any small charms you come across with golf find, or Lem runes.
>>1417339I'll put my best caddy on the job
>>1417352gold*
>>1417339i keep an eye out tomorrow once i get back into it
First facet drop...
>>1417493Nice, I've yet to see one or even a Gheeds.
>>1417497TZ andariel living up to her reputation for blingHaven't seen Gheeds yet either. Only unique charm has been a crappy fire sunder (-81).
>>1417511I had a 85% lit sunder, that's it.
Ridiculous drops today
>>1417595where do you guys playing US or EU
>>1417611I'm US but this is all solo HCL
>>1417595Man fuck you, I'd kill for that I'm in the awkward spot of needing an Enigma to really get any proper mfing or whatever done, but am too poor to get the Enigma.>>1417611EU.
>>1417497>>1417542Gheeds and (74) Sunder securedGriffin's next I hope
>>1417875Still have to find the ber on my own and who knows how long that will take. Have never made a ssf enigma yet
>>1417901First caster amulet I've rolled with +2 skills, you interested?
Damn i really need better gear for my merc, Diablo just slapped the shit out of him on nightmare. I know Insight is meta runeword for weapon but what should i get on armor?
>>1418052>but what should i get on armor?The best smoke you can get until you can get your hands on a 8XX eth 4 socket armour for Fortitude.Bulwark helmet, any base over 100 def.>Insight is meta runeword for weaponOnly if you don't need Infinity.
>>1418063Fug, need those Lem runes then for Smoke, i think I can do Bulwark, just need good helm for it.
>>1418068You'll want to upgrade them to an (ideally eth) Andariel's Visage eventually. Problem is literally 98% of players want that for their merc helm and supply never meets demand.
>>1418073Well im not in hell yet so no need to worry about that helm too much. I guess I just get that Bulwark and some damn polearm that has 4 sockets, still havent seen any yet
>>1418063>until you can get your hands on a 8XX eth 4 socket armour for Fortitude.Think I just found mine.
>>1418068I just found a 405 def Scarab Husk right after my last post you can have for Smoke, if you like?
>>1418115How are you planning on meeting the strength req?
>>1418181Andariel's Visage gives 25 to 30 str, depending on the roll.
started a fire/cold sorc on ladder, this is how much countess I had to run for a single fucking EL runeits supposed to be 1:8 kektus, I thought for sure I was doomed to stay in act 1, now I need to find a good staff with fireball and/or wall and I am rolling
>>1418191I've noticed that, El and to an extend Eld are stupidly rare from the Countess and in general. Around Tal and Ort are insanely common
>>1418193and still not a single ELD rune btw yeah
>>1418052>>1418068>>1418075Do you still want a Goldwrap btw? I just got a spare you can have. I can give you a 4 socket polearm and armor for Smoke while I'm at it.
alright, now we are cooking
>>1418262hot
>>1418384Perfect fire Esxhuta's
>Make room for a very specific trade>Retards come in with completely irrelevant offersMany such cases, it's all so tiresome.
>>1418209I could use it. I have the 4socket polearm done but could use the armor too. I dont have much to offer back tho
>>1419287Make a game on EU with a password and tell me what it is.
>>1419290vm trade room pw: doublenigger
>>1419340
>>1419353Thank you to the lazy devs, helps a lot.
>>1419287>>1419297I forgot to say, but definitely don't obsess over magic find. As long as you have over 100% that's completely fine, it's a thousand times better to have a higher kill speed and survivability than an extra 30% MF that ups the probability of an item dropping being one tier higher in type or whatever slightly. It's not even close.More MF without sacrificing other things is fine, but don't seek MF at the cost of everything else.
>>1419365Im doing it now since i have no problems in killing trash mobs, like i said i literally kill everything while im walking around. It will change soon tho. Thanks once more for the stuff. I try to get something good for you during the night
>>1419365Feels good to get stuff like this even as a low level, too bad i cant use it
>>1419382I literally just found this amulet. I don't even know what it's worth though, but I know it's really valuable. Almost certainly more than the ring I gave you.
>>1419438More then likely yeah. Im just progressing through worldstone keep. We will see if i can nuke baal soon enough. Pretty sure i can, if not i just grind the fight before him a bit and Nihlathak too
>>1419438Baal went down easier then Diablo. I grind terrorzones to 75 and start hell then
>>1419481I went to hell out of curiosity if i can still run magic find, was worth it
>>1419550You see? You've been wasting your time in NM, Hell is the land of milk & honey.
>>1419563I still had fun grinding nm. I hope i can get something useful for you too now. I have some gems now but not nearly as many as earlier today
>>1419565Eh don't worry too hard. If you ever happen to find a unique Diadem though I'll buy it off you for a high price. This offer applies basically indefinitely.If you ID it and it turns out to be a high roll, then I won't be able to afford to buy it from you.
>>1419594Checked google, you mean Griffons eye? I will start countess farm in a moment, if i get those higher level runes i let you know
>>1419617Yeah, Griffon's is potentially either the second most, or most, expensive piece of my build.I want a 20/15 so fucking bad so I can put a perfect rainbow facet in it, but nigga that's out of my price range.This is the cheapest I've seen them go for, I have like 1/5th of that if I add up everything I've got.
>>1419631I doubt it can drop from Countess, was planning to do 10 runs of it now for xp and some runes. First kill was a nothing burger
>>1419676Two interesting places you can farm in early Hell that can drop anything are the Pit in act 1's Tamoe Highlands, and the Ancient Tunnels in Act 2's Lost City.Both are what's known are iL85 zones, meaning any unique item in the game can potentially drop in there. Neither of them are too hard, it's worth giving it a try if you purely want unique and set items rather than special drops or runes.Assuming you have 400 magic find as a baseline, the odds of finding a Griffons in either one of those are>1 in 47k from any unique monster>1 in 120k from champions>1 in 2m for regular enemies
>>1419631Oh and while I wasn't looking, the price of the ring I gave you fluctuated up to approximately 60 to 70 P ammys, so yeah make sure you fucking look after that thing, they expensive.
>>1419716I am, dont worry. Just got Dwarf Star unique ring. Im going to add Pit to the grind list then now. Really bad luck from countess, basically nothing in 6 runs so far
tz andariel time boistime to get your griffons
>>1419783Gimmershred worth anything? Got it from the Pit, also got Tal Rashas horadic crest so i guess not too bad for first run
>>1419800no clue on trade value but I doubt it would be worth tals amu is a nice get though
>>1419800Gimmershard = 1 to 2 P ammysAdjudication = 15 to 30 P ammys, but the price is going to drop as time goes in so you wanna sell it for a high price while you can.Try and get a Vex rune for it, make rooms for MFing called "O Tal Amu N Vex", if you can get one that's about your limit.
>150 fg for ber rune on SC >650 fg for ber on HCholy shit you guys are cucked so hard, why even play at this point?
>>1419838just farm your own lmaodo sc players have to swipe their cc to enjoy the game?
>>1419844Why would you do that when you can buy shit so cheap you dumb ass negroid?
where should i spend gold btw? Gambling obviously but is it worth it at lvl77?
>>1419915>is it worth it at lvl77?Extremely "it depends".Equip Edge runeword in a crappy bow for low stat requirements Bow, Have Gheeds if applicable, be as lowish level as you can be for the unique or set in particular you want so the price isn't too bad and have at least 1+ gold to get the job done, then gamble for it.Don't bother gambling for amulets at that level if you're aiming for +2 skills.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMFpwZ2RnOA
>>1419550>>1419800Considering you immediately got a Homonculus as soon as you stepped into hell and an Ajudicator barely ten minutes into starting MFing I'm considering you my luck star bro.I just spent most of my remaining assets on an unided Griffon's Eye in the hopes of a good roll. I'm not going to ID it until you give me your blessings on it across the internet.So you know what stats vary / what's important for when I ID it and post pics:>100-200 defenseBy far the least important stat. If the rest is good or better yet perfect then this is nice to have high.>-15% to -20% To Enemy Lightning ResistanceIncredibly important to get -20%>+10% to +15% To Lightning Skill DamageIncredibly important to get +15%-15% / +10% = 0, add 1 point for each % better those numbers are. I need to score 6 to break even on my trade, 7 or higher for a win and 5 or lower and I've lost out.1 in 25 shot for glory.
>>1419438hey autist that's worth nothingMara but worse with mana:D
>>1420135Fr*nce isn't a real country.
>>1420138says fucking who manalso that flag on the eiffel tower should be algerian
>>1420140I'd say "at least we don't have a dictator in power who's now impossible to vote out" but honestly I'm not sure that's even true. I guess we're all kinda just fucked.
>>1420132Well, i will be home in 3-4hours. I played all night, didnt get anything else and now im on a one day course to become forklift certified lel. I wish you luck with that!
>>1420169>I wish you luck with that!IDed now, I actually haven't looked at all what my roll is so I'm only finding now when I look at my posted pic.
>>142017220/13, that makes it a +8 so we eating pretty good today boys. I still need a perfect some day obviously but this is great for now. Big win.
>>1420172as lucky as always, faggenerally, the - ennemy res is WAY better than the +damage, even on non sorc chars
>>1420175>as lucky as always, fagI've been bottom rolling everything since the start of ladder, I needed a win.
I found the bow randomly last week too, is the game telling me to make a bowazon?
>>1420172I guess I am your Lucky star kek. Gz for that
>>1420203If you wanna bless me again I'll try making my hoto again, got a 32% last time and I need perf 40% from what I've worked out, though any boost is good too.
>>1420236Do eet, just got back and Andariel is now doned. Slowly but surely im working up my way on hell. Nothing good dropped but hey, it was the first kill
>>1420279>Do eetPerfect 40% all res, holy shit you're a legend. We need to cut your foot off and put it on a pendant or something.
>>1420285Haha, gz ! You want your goldwrap back? Just dropped one with 63% gold on monsters, yours was 50 but i can give you the better one
>>1420292Nah I already have a 63% or so and am working on purchasing a 79% or something for my gold find barb.Decided to just go ahead and facet my Griffons now since it's within the acceptable range and getting a 2% better isn't happening any time soon. That's all my equipment other than amulet done, the goal now is to improve my merc, then the amulet, then torch and anni. I'm expecting that to cost in the ballpark of 17 to 20 Jah runes though so that's going to be a long term project, getting a perfect Griffons can come after all that if I want to spend another 15 Jah on that alone.I'm done in the short term goals sense, but there's also a long road ahead too.
what is the meta new player sorc build for farming everything? I hear there are charms now or something that let blizz sorc go everywhere?
>>1420306yeah new charms that remove frost immunity
>>1420285>>>uhhh i'm not lucky guys i swear !!!get torch and anni now, you are not getting a 2 / 20 any time soon>>1420306either nova with crescent moon or coldboth with sunders
>>1420306Anything you want really, Sunder charms set all monsters who are immune to that element to 99% resistance instead. Without also having facets or Infinity or something else you won't be dealing much damage, but you have options.I personally ran a sorc with Frozen orb and Hydra, and a sunder charm for cold as like a cheapo budget option for magic finding etc. Cold sunder charm let me at least freeze everything, and anything with high cold res I'd slow down with orb and spam hydras to kill their slowed asses.
>>1420309>you are not getting a 2 / 20 any time soonI see them for sale for about 4 to 5 Jah runes. I can farm keysets for that, just a matter of if I want to prioritize my merc a bit first or not.
>>1420313a keyset is worth a jah in ladder already ? jesus talk about broken but still get a t / anni first, huge upgrade
>>1420316just checked it more like 4 keysets lmao that's 16 keysets to farm enjoy man
>>1420316>a keyset is worth a jah in ladder already ?No.>but still get a t / anni first, huge upgradeGot a 15/20/10 anni and 16/16 pala torch. I'm talking about upgrading them to 19/20/10 and 19/20 torch. 19 res on both will be exactly high enough to be max res in hell even on the extra capped resists.
>>1420323alll that cause mr retard doesn't want to use spirit
>>1420331I can use spirit if I want at any point for convenience, nothing stopping me, you talk like I'm hard locked in forever and ever. My end goal is the better long term plan though.
Uniques are dropping left and right now
>>1420339yes that's called spirit, a gg 45 @r spirit
>>1420339also, get battle orders, obviously. FYI why i think mara is busted is because it boosts battle orders, while the 2/20 pally does not
Faggots lair was so gay. Why the fuck do black locusts have so much hp? I mean seriously what the fuck
>>1420340Do you happen to have a Vex? You would if you took my advice about trading the Tal amulet for one last night, I can give you my old hoto for one. I just realised I used my last Vex on that second hoto earlier and I was planning to use it now completely forgetting it's already gone.
>>1420675I havent had any rune drops, well i got one Hel and Ral and thats it. Bad luck with those. Im not playing for few fays now, i will once i get back home. Just stopped right before going to tal rashaa tomb so act 3 soon and Travinca council farm, im bound to get good stuff then
>>1421301I mean trading rather than drops. The Tal amulet you got is currently just about worth a Vex rune, but over time it's going to fall to an Ist if you wait too long.
Well, I think I can buy that 2/20 Paladin amulet now.Buy low, sell high guys.
>>1421344Havent traded a thing yet. Just realized im pretty sure i sold magefist that i got earlier this week on nightmare. Im a fucking retard. Will be back tomorrow and get back on the grind
I hate runewords, does that mean I should play classic?
>>1421827Yeah probably. Personally I love them but each to their own.
Does D2R flatout not work on win7?
>>1421866dunno but werks on linux proton perfectly
I'm starting to regret selling the Griffons for such a price, getting a new one is proving difficult because fucking everyone and their mother wants one and I may end up spending most of my runes just getting one back.
>>1422604Level up another char or smthPrice might come down at a later date.
>>1422744Problem is he's the source of most of my wealth and gear for any new character has to come from somewhere.
It begins
Nothing too good from stony tomb, pit or andy. Got this while trying to find Duriel
>>1422948whelp, went to pit again, This time 2 of these and 1 pul rune
>>1422961Near perfect belt. If the amazon player wants that im willing to give it away for free or if someone is planning to play amazon and thats useful to them
>>1422980Im a retard, might help if i showed pic
>>1422997I forgot to ask for your blessing.
W-why is my stash so small....
>>1423050The price of playing on classic.
>>1422997>>1423049Finally got the last rune I was missing for my Doom axe on non-ladder. I'd like a -60% to enemy cold res roll on it so I'm asking you bless me for this one this time.
>>1423084You will get close to it. I got another one of those belts but significantly worse one. I should start progressing act 3 finally, been doing Countess, Pit, Andariel, Stony tomb and Duriel runs now. Nothing too useful for me but xp is somewhat decent and money too
>>142309540 to 60%, you held back on using your full power. sadge.
>>1423112Damn, bad luck there. I didnt get anything worthwhile while doing my runs, now few hours of sleep and i start progressing act 3
I ended up killing meph, i was sure he would be harder but the council before him in his room is harder then him
>>1423765Got Diablo down now too with relative ease. Hardest part was to get through fields of despair thanks to those fucking burning souls. Jesus christ i hate them
>>1424390Hey Necro anon, if you're around about 3 hours from now wanna make a game and take some items from me? I'd also be very interested in your "Insight runeword package" runes of any you have, that is:>Ral>Tir>Tal>Sol>HelSo I can reroll the eth Giant Thresher I'll hopefully have then until I get a good roll, assuming I don't get a good roll quickly.
>>1424394i will be, im progressing through act 5 now. Just sucks that leveling is so damn slow
>>1424422I'm home, give me 15 min because there's a Dclone happening shortly, but I'd like to meet up and give you some shit.
>>1424506Aight, im grinding pindleskin. Nothing good so far, i have done many runs
>>1424517Make a game whenever, I'm ready and out of Sol runes.
>>1424520vm traderoom pw: doublenigger
I don't think I have ever gotten an unique this early in the game D:
>>1424523Server? You didn't mention.
>>1424530Its Eu>>1424529Also nice
I think classic is just built different, I don't think I have ever gotten a single unique in just the story playthrough of normal act I let alone two.
Diablo walking on Asia in 7 hour's time. Be there or be square.
>>1425609Two hours to go, a second one exactly one hour after it.
took only 10minutes to kill baal
>>1425691btw, i got both, Messerschmidt's Reaver and Hellslayer
>>1425609Another Dia walk, this time on America, 5 hours and 10 minutes.
First SSF HCL nigma finished at lastTrav came in clutch
>>1426360Nice ! I just got another Hellslayer axe. The game really wants me to play barb, i have almost full immortal king too
>>1426547>i have almost full immortal king tooEveryone who does magic finding for more than like an hour has "almost full IK" so don't worry it's not just you.The only hard / relevant part to find is the armour.Also keep in mind that shit good for casters tends to have its rarity number dropped so that it shows up less frequently. For example with unique rings the two rings either side of Soj (Manald and Dwarf Star) have a rarity number of 15 and 10 respectively, while the Stone of Jordan has a rarity number of 1 so it shows up far less frequently than the others
>>1426554It sure feels like good stuff drops less frequently. Just got hyped as fuck when Unique deathmask dropped. I put it on merc since i still havent done that Bulwark.
>>1426554Oh and also got pretty low rolled black hades too.
>>1426562>>1426564Any time you want something specific of value, let me know and pass me something I can either use to buy it or turn into runes to buy it and I'll get you it. Shako or whatever? I'll get it done.
>>1426562>>1426564Oh and here, have a calc to play around with:https://nishicode.com/#/dropfinder/AZABAQEAblUACXs=
>>1426602>>1426607Doing council now since travincal is terror zone. First decent drop, too bad its useless to me
>>1426612>First decent drop, too bad its useless to meI can very easily turn that into a Shako, if you want me to.Btw with that calculator, note if you will that that you're about 40% more likely to find anything of value in a game with 3 players vs 1 player.
>>1426620I got an 80% one too if that matters. Gonna run meph a bit now
>>1426650Assuming Cold still, it's about 1/5th the value of the second one.
>>1426655First one*
>>1426620don't lisen to that jewish faggot, a 71 cold sunder, it's worth way more than a shakoa shako is maybe like an um or a pul, the sunder more like a mal or an ist
>>1426660>a shako is maybe like an um or a pulFor a really shitty one, but the build he's running wants to eventually socket it with a Ber and you you really want to get the worst possible Shako on earth and then socket it with a Ber?You're not too bright, comes with being fr*nch.
>>1426655Yay !
>>1426682>bro i swear 30 more defence is going to make any kind of differenceacutal autist
>>1426685Generally the best Merc helm right there. Lowest roll on the LL sucks and the ED is also trash but the Str bonus isn't bad. If you don't think you'll ever find an eth or better LL one then go ahead and socket it with a Ral rune, your merc will be very happy with it.>>1426688If I'm going to build a tower worth a Ber, I'm going to put it on a foundation that's worth like 9 P ammys instead of one that's worth 3.I'm Jewish, not stupid. Don't cut corners in the dumbest places.
>>1426693best merc helm is cure atm
>>1426716Maybe at low levels, if you're really fucking tired of your merc dying to poison.
>>1426693Im just happy i finally got something i can use. Will keep on grinding terror zones for the hell of it, that dropped from Bone Chest lel
Baal is a waste of fucking time to kill. Takes more then 7minutes to grind him down
>>1426781Just repeat the minions bro.
About 40% of a level for an hour's worth of Baal running (24 runs in an hour), not bad but god damn I want level 93 for crafting.
Dclone on Asia in T minus VERY SOON.
>>1426802Be in a hell game 7 minutes from now on Asia, there's going to be one every single day about this time for the next week.
>>1426804How many soj are required to trigger a walk these days? Don't think there'll be one on HCL for a while
>>142681775 to 125, there was a HCL walk about 4 days ago.
I need to stop rolling runewords without getting blessings first because I'm tired of getting 353%ed/12%ll rolls on breath of the dying and shit.
I finally got the last GC skiller I've been after so my character is now "complete" other than a better amulet and a quick reset of my stats after that to take 29 out of Dex and put it into Vit.After that the only possible upgrades would be minute ones. I could get another 239(?) defense out of my equipment, I could swap my 7% MF small charms out for ones that also have +5% all res so my resistances are overcapped for the lower resistance curse, and I could add in 3 +1 Pala combat / 45 Life skillers. More levels would always be nice, for extra max resist vs fire.
The market's stabilized too much for me to reasonably flip items for a profit and I'm not finding shit recently in MF runs, feel like I've wasted the last two days more or less.
>>1428442I really want those damn GC skillers, so far i have got 0 drops and havent rerolled anything yet since im only 88 or 89
>>1430533Things like that, it's best to trade for them. The odds you'll find the exact skiller you want yourself are really low.
Okay, so how exactly do you evaluate rare rings with 10% faster cast and resist(s)?What's the minimum threshold they need to reach to be worth around an Ist, and what more do they need to increase the value step by step from there? I don't understand rare rings, but I want to try.
what should i roll this ladder?
>>1435556Why yes I will play Sorceress for convenient teleports for the 60th ladder in a row. Mosaic Assassin looks fun
This game is just a casino for gamers.
>>1435153ring value is incredibly complex, we use a point systema big gap in term of price is if it will be used for PVP or PVE, the latter being worse and much cheaper rings.
I mean, fair. Got a written list for the point system I can copy your homework for?
>>1435560Want a Bartucs claws to keep you going until you get your Mosaic? I just found one.

With d2r they should have made all the class specific sets have their own unique model. And made them look cool.

What's a funni name for an Enchant sorc?
Today's been a good day, did 4 Dclones and got 3 Jah + some Perfect Amethysts from the Annis right before the price crashes.
this good?
>>1441045Best in slot for any Sorceress doing magic finding. Yes, it's good. That being said it's not an especially rare item and there's a limited number of Sorceress who need one so the market is saturated, it's worth around 1/3rd to 1/2 an Ist if you try and sell it.
Bruh I fucking swear there's a story/first time hell buff rate on champion/boss groups every time I enter a zone for the first time there's like 4 boss groups immediately zooming in to me with the speed of light.
>>1435977No, it's ok, I havent made an assassin yet anyway I was just joking. I like to do the "SSF" meme. I can't into diablers trading. Everyone tries to lowball you so I give up.
>>1441207>Everyone tries to lowball you so I give up.It's a matter of persistence, just be the lowballer and throw out offers until somebody accepts, or raise your offer slightly if you want a quick trade.
>>1441228I've had my fill of retards and I suck at negotiating so it's ok. It's more satisfying to find the item myself. Although I think finding HRs will be impossible on battlenet solo
>>1441312Why negotiate? Tell them what your price is and if they don't accept say "no" and move on, no need to barter unless you feel comfortable doing so.I also don't particularly mind helping out any fellow Mongolian Basketweaving forum member with trading troubles, if you feel you're not capable of selling an item at a worthwhile price I could do it for you and give you the proceeds. I ask only that it's at least 1 Ist worth of stuff and something that isn't going to sit on one of my mules for a week hoping for a maybe eventual buyer.If you want general lists and ideas of things that sell for decent mid and high runes, I can give you that too.
I'm going skeletal mages and there's nothing you can do to stop me
What's the best way to play Diablo 2 co-op these days without spending any money?
>>1441549Find a good friend and a torrent site. Hamachi.
>>1441560What's the best version to torrent
>>1441576No clue, probably one slightly modded with expanded stash and stuff.
I literally can't clear hell maggot lair as necro summonerhelp
I have no use at all for this many Mal runes, but I got an offer where if I even consider them to be 0.5 of an Ist rune I still won out. Guess the guy was just too lazy to convert them, I can appreciate.
I was checking zone levels because I was curious, but why is The Pit so why level, It's a cave in the first zone that's the same level as worldstone keep on hell?
>>1442524No fucking clue, it just is. So is The Mausoleum next door to Blood Raven.The Pit and the Ancient Tunnels are great places to magic farm if you're doing any of that.
I'm conviced 'crafting' items is a meme to waste perfect gems and runes on, never once have I gotten anything useful
>>1442840A friend rolled around to tell me he'd just crafted this, then threw a Jah rune in my begging cup.
>>1442848Here's your fucking caster ring bro, enjoy the attack rating
>>1442879You should be crafting amulets almost exclusively if doing caster, if you're going to do rings try doing blood rings and see if you can get dual leech.
>>1442887My rings right now are 19%mf and 9%mf with 20% cold res, I will take whatever I can get.
>>1442894I mean sure, but don't make the objectively bad decision to craft caster rings and then complain when you get trash, because caster rings get absolutely mogged by caster amulets.I mean fuck man, I'll just give you better rings for the perfect amethysts you're shitting down the drain here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WET8Gf4sDhg
This has to be good, no?
>>1443730It's an "okay" item, somewhat in demand but not heavily in demand. The problem is that it can roll 3% to 6% for the life leech and sadly you got a bottom roll which means budget pricing if you want anybody to actually buy it from you.https://maxroll.gg/d2/items/valuable-unique-set-itemsI actually sold a 4% ll one this morning for 1 Ist and 3 P amethysts, and it took me a week to get offered that price. If you can get an Ist for it (or any mix of 9 Perfect Amethysts / Hel runes), take it and run for the hills.
>>1443734Is there an auction house in this game?
>>1443740There's 3rd party / player run websites and boards, for example this one:https://traderie.com/diablo2resurrectedThe alternative is to sit in a public game advertising it while you do other work and hope some retard joins who's willing to pay your price. 90% of the time this is the way to get the best price as dedicated places to trade are far more likely to have a defined economy and price for everything.
Andy pays off, I have never gotten one before. I'm sad wth how ugly it looks however, really wish they would have given it a better model ;-;
>>1443829No need to encourage even more people to wear the thing.
>>1440869
>>1443856hard to outperform it
Just completed a trade that makes me seriously contemplate if I know what the fuck the prices of things really are. I'd have traded for even more but I was seriously questioning my sanity.
You don't want to know how long it took me to kill ancients as a summon necro
>>1444854>Sell Jah rune for 17 Ist>Buy Jah rune for 12 IstIt's free real estate. Sadly not repeatable, very few people are dumb enough to sell a Jah for less than 14 Ist today.
>>1441207Just use Traderie. You can compare prices and trade across servers. I've noticed items in Asia are cheaper.
Why did diablo randomly spawn in one of my zones?
>>1446949Diablo clone is world event, kill him to get an Annihilus charm.
>>1446996He was one shotting my summons and healing more than I could do damage
>>1447011Yeah he'll do that, you generally need specific equipment modifiers to stand a realistic chance against him, or such high endgame damage that you can bulldoze through it.He's an superboss, strongest thing you can ever fight outside of doing uber Tristram.
Is there a good two hander barb build that isn't ww?
>>1447336Two choices, Pit Zerker or Frenzy:https://maxroll.gg/d2/guides/berserk-barbarianhttps://maxroll.gg/d2/guides/frenzy-barbarian
>>1447336>>1448144I mean technically 3 if you really want to, but dual throw is never going to be as simple, cheap and effective as the other choices.https://maxroll.gg/d2/guides/double-throw-barbarian-guide
>>1448144>>1448159I mean using one two hand weapon not two one handed griefs or whatever.
>>1448239Pit Zerker. The only thing he's using the offhand for is holding a Phase Blade with 6 Ist runes in for maximizing magic find. You're free to use any two handed sword you like in the main hand, it's just going to be slower / inferior to using a Phase Blade with Grief since all that matters for that runeword is weapon speed.Really though you're wanting to use a weapon type that's only useful for one thing (weapon reach / length) outside of the one situation that makes proper use of weapon reach, namely Whirlwind.
>>1447011If you can do any kind of damage to him you can build an Edge runeword bow or get something with prevent monster heal for yourself and jab him in the ass so he doesn't heal back up. I killed him on my poorly geared blizzsorc I'm literally just rocking a +2 cold amny and Spirits, but Blizzard does decent DMG. I fought him in the palace cellar before arcane sanctuary and dropped blizzards, teleported around a lot and kept him tagged with the prevent monster heal but it was a bit difficult.
Asia botters seem to have decided that the price of a Jah is 6 Ohm runes, guess I'm selling Ohm runes for the next few days.
>>1447336big barb player herethe only answer you are looking for is throwfrenzy is liquid doghsit, and while berzerk is nice, it's kind of nieche.
>>1449523Yeah he means two hander as in literally weapons that take two hands to hold. I thought the same thing. I'm thinking the same thing as you now too.
>Jah prices are 20 Ist for 1.What the fuck.
>>1449532Not sure if I should keep going or not, the prices are changing day by day and I'm struggling to keep up.

mrllama said the other day a tcpip version of d2r leaked so we should get private servers soon
Hmm, I think I will level a lightning sorc on ladder
I recently got D2R, and I'm looking at getting into the end game grinding stuff. Would it make more sense to start an online/ladder character or does players7 drop enough where I would be fine?If offline, my first character should be like, a ladder start thing that can also handle high density. A Hammerdin (maybe a point in smite and fanaticism or whatever else), a javazon, or a Fire Spell+FOrb sorta thing? Not sure what makes like, sense. I still haven't beaten hell, yet. If online/ladder, I dunno. Probably still a ladder start.
>>1452334If you want perfect bling bling endgame stuff, either play online or be prepared to grind for 10000 hours offline.First char for either mode you can't go wrong with a cold sorc using Blizzard and then farm nightmare cows for runes and bases until you can make a spirit sword and work your way up to hell cows. If you do online though there'd be a ton of people happy to give you their old starter gear which would quickly get you hell farming ready, and you can save up your Perfect Amethysts and Ral runes to use as currency for buying essential basics and stuff.If you ever need help pricing stuff for SCL, I'm always here.
pd2r soon
>3 andi hell runs gave me viper magi, magefist and trang glovesI swear ladder just has higher drop chances compared to offline
>>1453123Congrats, a guy I've been seeing doing hardcore offline was going insane trying to get a Vipermagi after hundreds of runs of Meph in NM.
>>1452419That sounds like a solid plan. How important is the highest end of gear? Is it just to speed up the farming of the highest end content? In some games, I know it's like, you'll pretty reasonably get like, 90% of max power and you'll spend the rest of the time going for the last bit. Is it like that for D2?
>>1453193Online you can have 95% of your max power in a month after a new ladder just by aggressively magic finding and trading. Right now I'm only missing technically a few charms, a better amulet and less than 100 defense on my equipment (out of 2k+) from being the 100% perfect theorycrafted limit for my character. I could have gotten 90% for way less of the time and effort and you don't even really need that much.Offline you'll be there trying for years. There's a fuckton of great items out there but you only need a few of them for a specific character, so you're basically just trying to find all of them so you have the ones you want wheras online you can just trade the first few items you find around until you have the ones you do want.
>realize I will have trouble clearing chaos sanctuary with my nova sorc>decide to hop on my necro to farm some tz because hey maybe it will drop>literally 3 runs of bloodmoore tz laterDo superuniques like corpsefire have better drop rates than just normal boss groups?
what is tz?and i havent played the new version. i still play d2 lod. i was thinking of getting it on xbox, my laptop is extremely old and i dont really like using itis there cross play enabled?
>>1455468>what is tz?Terror zones. Once Baal is beaten for a difficulty you unlock terror zones which is basically one zone every hour becomes "terrorized" and the level of all monsters in that area is basically at least two higher than your character level / the level of the person who made the game. This means you get more XP and better item drops for the duration of the terror zone, and it is also the only place that the new "Sunder Charms" can drop. Sunder Charms are charms that break enemy immunities while held, which enables you to make monotype builds of your dreams and pretty much makes 10x as many character builds viable.>is there cross play enabled?Sort of. Xbox players can only play with Xbox players, but if you have both an Xbox copy and a PC copy then you can transfer items and stuff between them and because of the difference in prices between the two areas you could theoretically make a killing by smuggling items from one side to sell on the other. They can't play directly together at the same time though afaik.
I have never played amazon
Want to try? We could play new characters together, I'm looking to start my new Enchant Sorc very soon but I'd like somebody to play with.
I guess if you're on europe we can
>>1455826Amplify#11104
So if I want to farm high runes say in arcane or cows, is it better to just go in with 0mf or some wont hurt too much?
>>1457816Your MF amount literally won't matter for it. Just use whatever MF amount you have, unless you want to also farm white base items for runewords specifically in which case then yes go in with 0.
What happened to the guy playing a Necromancer around here? He's not logged on in almost 3 weeks now.
I haven't had any real luck this season. Farming TZ Andy and Cows and Mephi when its up. The second tz meph ends I get to the boss room and kill him and get an occy. Yippie!!! I have that and 3 topaz helm and armor, nagel, manald, cold sunder, gheeds, tal rasha belt, garbage boots and gloves and spirit shield. I'm going to try to mf tal rasha set this ladder.

>>1472180I'm just playing other games, bro. Do you want something?
>>1472252I mean, not especially I was more wondering wtf happened than anything else, just felt weird that you suddenly went completely dark for a week with no word. Also did want to give you that torch whenever I saw you next, whenever that was.
>>1472261I don't really grind much on characters once I kill baal. D2 kind of has the bad habbit of just turning into a casion once you hit a certain power level...
>>1472269I'm similar, but I'll usually at least get to level 89 or 90 or whatever level I could consider the character properly "complete" at, and at least use it for a bit and do a few dozen runs or whatever.I like trading for all the gear and the process of actually building the character the most tho.

https://strawpoll.com/X3nkPqkx5gE/
I found an ist this morning. Think I can trade it for tal armor or ammy? What if I throw in a mal? That's all I have except for a barb mastery gc.
>>1477531With few exceptions, it's the all around best caster ring there is and it's by far the most easily reliable to find or obtain of all the top picks. +1 to all skills regardless of class and lots of extra mana? You can't really ask for much more than that, even in the current year of insane runewords and stuff it still holds out and it was one of the original few unique items in the game in the original version of Diablo 2 before LoD introduced a lot of great new items.That, and way back in the day item duping was common and the item duped by far the most was the SoJ. Combined with the fact that gold is near worthless and there's nothing better to use, it became the obvious currency to use for trading.Nowadays the rune market is very good and everyone deals in runes, but SoJ still hold up pretty well.>>1478125>Think I can trade it for tal armor or ammy? What if I throw in a mal? That's all I have except for a barb mastery gc.Ladder or non ladder? SC? HC?
>>1478141Hardcore ladder us west. ...Never mind, I think the answer is obviously no
>>1478147The answer is probably, but prices vary between HC / SC and Ladder / non.Server is irrelevant as you can change that at the drop of a hat, but console vs PC madders greatly.HC ladder Tal armor is about an Um to an Ist. The amulet is consistently an Ist to a Gul but it's a Gul over 80% of the time, Ist would be a lucky price to pickup for.If you're poor and need funds that anybody can manage, farm keys. Keys of Terror (Countess), Keys of Hate (Summoner), Keys of Destruction (Nilathak) are all worth good money, I dunno about hardcore but on softcore ladder right now you can easily get an Ist for 6 Terror or 3 Hate / Destruction keys. You can get better prices for a set of 3 of all 3 types.Hardcore Nilathak would prob be super risky though unless you have the "Slain monsters rest in peace" modifier.See:>>1419340>>1419353>>1419357for the temple patterns and how to clear the place easily. For the Countess tower just turn left relative to your character's facing. There's no easy solution for the Summoner.
any hardcore ladderfags have a free monarch they could give to another hardcore ladderfag?t. hardcore ladderfag
>>1478284Honestly, I'm shocked there's even one hardcore ladderfag.You should be going for a Stormshield really if you don't already have one. If you do or don't want one for some reason, you can pick one up pretty easily for 15 to 20 random Perfect gems. You have been collecting gems, right?
>>1478495I refuse to collect the jewms. A friendly ol oblivion knight kindly dropped a white monarch shortly after my post anyway. >council members can heal mephisto20 years of this game and I somehow never caught this interaction.

>>1478750>gets suggestion politely refused>you were crying and complaining!!I merely stated things and asked for things in a flat, neutral manner. FUCK 3rd party trading websites btw. If this causes you discomfort it's because you feel guilty about accepting the jew into your heart.
>>1478766You're not forced to go to the Craigslist of Diablo 2 sites to find a seller instead of relying on a public game for one and it would only make things quicker and easier for you, but you are generally forced to have some sort of goods or services to offer in remuneration for the item you need. The simplest option available to you is 'pick up item off the ground and hold it out to people until you find one happy to give you your needed object in return.'If you don't want to do this because "it makes you feel like a jew", when it is half the reason to play online and pretty much 99% with hardcore, you really should have simply chosen to play single player instead for the ability to retain maps and set player counts.
>>1478805I'm not against trading in general (actually I am, I prefer if things are given freely according to need and abundance with goodwill as the chief driving force because I'm white, none of this predatory penny pinching "getting ahead" rat behavior), just trading outside of the game.
>>1478878>actually I am, I prefer if things are given freely according to need and abundance with goodwill as the chief driving force because I'm whiteYou're not white, you're a fucking commie.>just trading outside of the game.Putting up a flyer saying "Hey I have this thing and want this other thing" isn't trading outside of the game. You're still trading in the game, you're just making your existence apparent is all.

What's the big difference between ladder and non-ladder online?
>>1481709Ladder has the ladder only runewords enabled, meaning you can create them. If you try and make spirit, for example, in non ladder it'll just be tal thul ort amn and not actually be the runeword. Ladder characters also go on to a leaderboard based on experience earned, so there's a race to be the first lvl 99 if you care about such nonsense. Every handful of months ladder characters are dumped to non ladder (with all their ladder only runewords intact). So the NL economy is going to be a little different than the L economy because thats the eventual resting place of all L characters. That's about it. Just play ladder, spirit is op
How do I evaluate items like this for selling? I mean I know that people are looking for +2 skillers with stuff like as/fsr/res/mf and whatnot but how does on calculate what these are really worth?
>>1482561I just try and think about what something like that offers over the usual gear choices, and how much those usual gear choices are worth.So pally skills and fcr on an ammy means you'll be competing with the normal hdin pick of maras. Maras has all res over yours, which is pretty valuable. Maras is worth 1 hr iirc. But the fcr probably allows other gear flexibility, so maybe that makes up for the lack of res. So idk, I'd say it's worth at least 1 high rune. That's my shitty advice, at least it bumps the thread.

fresh off the mephisto presses, boys
Any offline weirdos in here?
>>1482561This will help you too. As a Paladin who uses a 2/20 amulet myself maybe a Hammerdin would give you a Ber for it? But it has very little going on for it other than the fcr so you'd be lucky to get even that.My avoid would be to get a Lo rune for it, sell the Lo rune for 3 Vex, sell the Vex for 3 Ist each, now you have 9 Ist you can turn into other runes and I think that's as far as you'd be able to take that amulet.
