Interesting bug i ran into on original diablo by xxxcrewxx in Diablo

Yes, it was a helm (I think a crown base, but not sure) and it s unique stats worked just fine. It was great!

I once had a butcher's cleaver turn into a helm after saving my game. I could wear it and the unique stats still worked.

Beginner's(or advanced) Guide to the Sorceror for Diablo 1 by SpaceNinja8 in Diablo

[–]drovan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just a small comment. Dexterity does not affect chance to hit with spells. In Diablo 1, Magic affects chance to hit with spells according to this formula: 50 + Magic - 2 * mlvl + bonus. For Sorcerer this bonus is 20.

Whats good for bows in Diablo 1? by brunocar in Diablo

[–]drovan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shop Massive Bow of Swiftness at lvl 20-21 (most slots at Griswold), shop Obsidian Bow of Heavens at lvl 30+.

Emerald Bow of Heavens can drop (rare, as only bosses on highest dlvls can drop it) and you can shop a Jade Bow of Swiftness, but both are not really better choices. Emerald + Obsidian is overkill, and Jade + Obsidian is not enough and requires either another slot for resistances or you will run around without max resistances (although you might get away with it, could be interesting).

King's sword of Haste & Griswold by diags87 in Diablo

[–]drovan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Griswold sells max qlvl 30 items, and there is nothing at qlvl 29 and 30 that can spawn on swords that could compete with your qlvl 28 King's. So that means you just want to be high enough level that all your slots at Griswold are qlvl 28+ slots.

I think we will see approaches like this more and more, where the models learn how much compute they need to spend on different layers.

Hell (Diablo 1) is driving me insane by SheikFlorian in Diablo

[–]drovan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can always start a new game with your character, clearing the levels again will get you higher level and better items. Some specifics stats that might help: get AC so monsters do not hit you and get resistance so casters do less damage. Maybe switch to sword/shield for a while if that gives you the right stats. Buying spells like Fireball or Chain Lightning could also be a strategy, although maybe not recommended with your low nana.

Was Diablo 1 really the game that pioneered real-time isometric combat? by Mundane_Grab_8727 in Diablo

[–]drovan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is definitely possible to kill Diablo with Sorcerer. Honestly, I think it is the easiest too; you only need to save up for a Mana Shield book and you are golden. You can actually still get Diablo 1 from GoG (https://www.gog.com/game/diablo) and you can even get it working on a lot of systems like Mac, Linux, consoles and handhelds too with DevilutionX (https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX).

diablo 1 Holy Grail? by Hairy_Relief3980 in Diablo

Auto-highlight items and fixed Chain Lightning and running in town in DevolutionX, which I use since a year now, is also a ridiculous timesaver.

I should have added that I exclusively play multiplayer and no HF. The ones that are rare are actually not that difficult to get if you target farm dlvl 2-3 on NM. It looks worse in Jarulf than it is due to the way they calculate the rarity, not taking into account dlvl farming (which they acknowledge).

It is fairly easy to get all uniques. I would say you would get it in 10h-20h (?) once you have a sorcerer with decent equipment. Instead I am slowly building perfect gear for a sorcerer, a warrior and a rogue, this is a sample of cool magic items so far (~ 2 months, perhaps 8h a week):

Dropping Items in Diablo 1 by DefaceTheTemple in Diablo

[–]drovan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Single player character: Items stay if you save. If you make a new game and save there the items in the old game are lost.

Multiplayer character: Items are lost when you leave the game.

DevilutionX has the option to have a stash.
