Larian Studios Forums General Chat RPG Chat Few questions on Diablo 2: LOD single player

i'm trying to max out the %change of finding magical items.
i'm sitting at about 180 % right now.
but do you think i find more set items? no... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

i do get some very rare uniques. brownish colour in the name.
i'm willin to trade for them for some gems <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> (the yellow ones)

my barbarian has about 720%
he finds some nice items sometimes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My own experience is that set items are as rare as before the patch, but uniques are very frequent (relative <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> .

I have on my harddisc an Amazone with 4 or 5 unique items.

All of them got after the 1.10 Patch.

720 % ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
how the hell do you do that?
or do you mean your barbarian skill to find magical items on corpses?

Nope i though the max for that was 150%. It is items with mf. I once did a calculation max for barb was around 1800 mf iirc.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" />Right you are... favourite ist rune or topazes to the maximum, double colossal blades(5/6 sockets), a lot of points in "find item", then some variations, like having Tal Rasha's plate, fortune gloves, etc,. etc..
Then, you are able to find quite nice items. But, as I have already learnt, bosses bodies are giving poor quality items, so it's only worth doing common-runs. Best are still around Harrogath....

dual ali babba ist ist
skullders etc
all the mf gear <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
And lots of 7% mf small charms.

I have also noticed that in the 1.10 that you can gamble for uni's. You could not do that in 1.09. You just keep opening and closing the gamble screen untill you see something you want. It changes with each screen. Most of the time you still get blues, but the yellows are there and sometimes pretty nice. I also notice that the same uni's keep popping up early on. My Assn in Europe has the exact same Hailstorm armor that she has on the West Coast Realm, and 1 of the same claws (don't remember the name). Same stats and everything... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> FYI,According to Blizzard, hackers are going after ladder characters, because they know they have the new 1.10 items. Crazy but true. Over 800 accounts have been permenently banned from B-Net. They are somehow hacking passwords and stealing CD keys. So watch your ladder characters. Especially in NM and Hell. Alot of high lvl char's have been completely killed off in this way.

Ladder, you say ? I fear I should be careful at all !

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" />Actually, the gamble worked for UNIs in 1.09b/c/d.. Just as it was stated in the release notes. But the odds were around sorta million to one... The chances are only slightly improved as far as 1.10 is concerned. AND (sic!) you were , and still are, able to gamble for greenies. The odds are even more frustrating here...

Friend of mine got the Artic Quilted armor gambling the other night. Seems to me the uni and greenies are becomming a bit easier to get, than in 1.09.

Patch 1.09
Unique: 1 : 100 000
Set : 1 : 10 000
Patch 1.10
Unique: 1 : 5 000
Set : 1 : 2 000

In Soloplayer, I got 6 I think unique items just after the 1.10 Patch. Aothe set items followed, but are stuill a little bit more rare than unique items - at least for me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I want to ask something:

Who here already got all the Trang Oul's Avatar: Necromancer set's - complete
and had the char. transformed into a vampire.

And i want to know if it's strong enough. Cause i'm trying a single player necro,

Alucard stats:
lvl 63 - less than 3 days, without playing all the day.
skeleton mastery - 20
raise skeleton - 20
bone spear - 14

i have +3 all skill levels.

But i want to try get the Trang Oul's Avatar complete, but how with skeletons and minions the luck thing is not it aplicated - i just have two set itens and two rares, and isn't elite and nothing. Just to gain the fire skills with the vampire and the +3 all skill levels and other bonus skills to be more strong. My other chars are not so strong, and don't have many itens.

Or if somebody can give me a save just to see it i would apreciate it.

hehehe, looks like somebody has watched the Hellsing anime series. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
