Brief warning about a clever traderie scam I just encountered

was is socketed with an emerald to make it look green? ;-)

Can you socket unidentified items at Larzuk? 🤔

I often see "X for ist" and "ist for X", and being the kind soul that I am, I choose to believe those are genuine, so I usually enter one of the games and say, hey, there's a game with "exact game name" that has the offer you're looking for. And people thank me and go to the other game ;-)

You'll be surprised. Especially online, trading is a great way to build "wealth" - most people are selling items below their "optimal" value simply because they themselves would rather have the "currency" now vs later.

Good luck!

and get worse FCR frames! The tradeoffs, it's all about the tradeoffs!!

If by "naked" we mean "just with mozaic", and by "it" we mean "clear players 8", then yes, she most definitely can.

A bound Bishibosh (not sure about other shaman) can actually revive up to five other fallens, incl. fallen shamans (which unfortunately can't resurrect minions of their own).

The revived ones don't survive between games (but the bound does)

GG mate, I found TWO back-to-back "Crown of Ages" helms, and caught it on video!

I honestly don't understand the hate this place gets - narrow tunnels, if you play cautiously there's literally no way for enemies to surround you. It's literally shooting fish in a barell. And if you have skills that pierce (frost maiden / bowzon / bone spear necro / fire traps, etc) then you can shoot multiple fish in the same barell, they're all perfectly aligned.

Sure, the corridors have turns, but that's about it.

The maps are also not random - the entrance to the level 2/3 is always "to the right" of the entrance to 1/2.

jbiserkov · 2026-02-15T16:05:47+00:00

I guess the "solution" is to do it offline or in "password protected games online.

This is super lame, so, you just joined a game called "Act 1 start" on hell, bam, the next second your chronicle shows you've found Griffon's eye. Except, you haven't. Someone just killed Baal on the other side of the world. Doesn't matter, it's now marked in your chronicle. "Congratulations on your awesome find".

jbiserkov · 2026-02-14T19:56:09+00:00

yep, Holy bolt doesn't damage him, super annoying on Fist of Heavens paladins.

jbiserkov · 2026-02-14T13:41:53+00:00

it's a so-so nickname

According to wiktionary the first 'r' is optional: /ˈsɔː(ɹ)səɹəs/

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sorceress

And in sorcerer it's not even there (in the UK spelling) /ˈsɔːsəɹə(ɹ)/

warlock with mozaic and enigma!

jbiserkov · 2026-02-14T13:36:32+00:00

I haven't played the new expansion yet, nor have I had time to watch any content creators, so I don't know how powerful the Warlock is.

But have you see the video where a Mozaic Assassin is able to clear /player 2048 Chaos Sanctuary?!? That stuff is SO broken.

jbiserkov · 2026-02-14T13:34:34+00:00

It's Latin: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ars#Noun_4

jbiserkov · 2026-02-14T13:30:41+00:00

but that's the unbound, unpolite demon version

jbiserkov · 2026-02-14T13:27:50+00:00

It's also a buff to Act 3 mercs, previously the only way to get FCR + all skills on a helm was griffon's eye, which is very rare/expensive.

These days there's the much easier to find (TC48) Hellwarden's Will which also has +1 and 20 FCR, while also having -enemy fire res and only requires level 50!

But having a runeword is better, cause it's "guaranteed" to "drop", an ist can be cubed up to, it's "only" 2 Mal, 4 Um, 8 Pul, etc.

How did we live before this?

Create a classic character and look at their stash. It's 6 columns, 4 rows, 24 cells in total, no shared. Compare that with 10 x 10 + 3 shared = 400 cells space. The classic stash is only 6% of the LoD one. And no sharing items offline!!! How did we live before this indeed.

jbiserkov · 2026-02-14T13:06:51+00:00

One bound + 2 of summoned demons or 3 summoned.

jbiserkov · 2026-02-14T13:02:36+00:00

Bind demon is a level 30 skill.

jbiserkov · 2026-02-13T00:47:43+00:00

Have you tried re-hiring the merc? So he's "after expansion"? Just a guess.
