(4) Is there a list of normal / ethereal Items to always pick up for recipes or possible rune words? I saw adding Jewels into the items, what Jewels should I look out for? can I use the now already 3-socketed weapon again to maybe get 4 socket's next time or do I have to find another unsocketed normal/ethereal version?Īlso is it possible to add socket's to unique items, how? If I add sockets to an item, can I reuse the item for another try? Let's say I didn't get 4 sockets in a polearm.

It it only possible to add sockets on normal / ethereal items with the cube? (3) adding sockets to normal / ethereal items / Unique items? Please see text and questions earlier, how to get the maximum stats for ethereal merc items? Items equipped on mercs won't lose durability, right? So going for ethereal items for merc should be the best. OR is this just relevant if you are sure that you don't die and the item won't lose durability (does it lose durability from dying or from hitting enemies?) My question for this is simple: Shouldn't I go for a Zod rune into this? I mean if the durability is 0, the item is basically ready for selling. If that's so, for example are all ethereal giant treshers the same damage wise, or where are the differences here? When does it have max damage etc?Īs I read some guides for my Blizzard Sorc, the end game item to go for it the occulus as ethereal with an ist rune for the MF%. Not from the vendor and no from cube recipe.Īlso what it so special about the ethereal version of an item? I read it always comes with max rolls, is that right? Are these max rolls for all the substats like + skills, resists, FCR, recovery rate etc or it just for the base stats like defense and damage? I just have some questions regarding ethereal gear and about some cube recipes.Īs I know, ethereal items can not be repaired.

So all in all a really good job and it's really fun to be part of D2 again. Also you don't have the feeling to acchieve like everything right from the start and I actually play the game, didn't let getting me rushed, just play the game act by act, quest by quest. As I'm a family father now and don't have that much time to play the game in general like 20 years ago, it feels especially good if I can play.

It really feels like back in the good old days, just with better graphics and fresh from start.

At first I have to say, that I really love D2:R.
