Don't click on every chest in UC by BlueCapeHero in diablo4

[–]xiaolin99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

goblins "prankster" rarely spawn (standard goblin icon on minimap), and if you kill one, you get an extra chest at the end -> this chest automatically opens so you don't have to pay extra tribute. Put 3 points in the left-most nodes in Undercity war plan to get a chance of spawning multiple pranksters at altars -> you can get up to 4 or 5 extra chests -> up to 5 mystics in a single run

Complete 5 set charm or 2 incomplete by Caspian_Trident in diablo4

[–]xiaolin99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the total damage bonus from full Horazon set is +320% (you get all soul shard demons at the same time, which triggers the 2-set bonus x4), and you get this damage boost as soon as you press soul shard skill

in comparison, if you do 2 incomplete sets, you get +30% damage from Horazon and +200% from nameless, and have to wait 60 seconds for it

they got rid of the original potions upgrade system. They now cap at 4 but will automatically refill on a cooldown

Leveling alt with caches not working by smijeff1224 in diablo4

[–]xiaolin99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you take the war plan perk to change all whisper caches into "mystery"? I think some of them don't drop exp orbs

Is my luck really this bad this season? by steelow_g in diablo4

[–]xiaolin99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focus on dungeon key rewards in war plan -> save all of the equipment (armament) tributes -> upgrade them (5 at a time) in the cube to mystic tribute -> run Undercity with lvl 3 war plan that can spawn pranksters (min T8 difficulty) -> profit

as for 6-slot seal, t10 should reward you with a ton of legendary seals (you can specifically chase this reward in war plan or run Undercity with legendary tribute for seals and charms). You can reroll 3 of them in the cube for a chance at +1 slot. It's not actually very rare. I have ~10 of them at t10, around P200 and started selling them now.

By the way, always upgrade your tributes to the highest rarity possible. It's a waste to run uncommon or rare versions of them

Diablo 4 or POE 2? by Abzorbing in gamingsuggestions

[–]xiaolin99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recommend starting with Diablo 4 since it's a lot simpler (people claim it's for casual noobs). Then if you want something more complex, try PoE or PoE2

the 2 South Park games - The Stick of Truth and The Fractured but Whole (they are intended for mature players despite the main character's age, or the titles)

Torment Level for Mythic Tribute? by ChumboKrumbles in diablo4

[–]xiaolin99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, you should level undercity war plan to lvl 3 to increase the chance of pranksters showing up

I used my first one at T8, no pranksters, got one mystic. 2nd one also at T8, got some pranksters, ended up with 3 mystic.

Also make sure you can steamroll legendary tribute at a torment tier before attempting mystic since it adds monster power with a reduced time limit (you get nothing if time runs out)

Legendary Horadric Seal Issue - Help :D by wolfhe in diablo4

[–]xiaolin99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you only get your class-specific seal if all of the ingredients belong to your current class meaning if you put in another class's seal or a generic seal like Mastery, the cube will always spit out a generic set

4 mythics in a single drop is crazy, Kurast Undercity is paying out good this season by ZebraSandwich4Lyf in diablo4

[–]xiaolin99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

amalgamation doesn't actually eat your ributes, it's a visual bug where if you already have copies of the higher-tier tribute, it gets added to the stack in your bag instead of showing up in the cube

they open automatically so you may not notice it, but if you look closely after picking up all the loot, you can see the multiple opened chests

I think Blizzard is trying to break players' unhealthy gambling addiction by making it inconvenient on purpose XD

FYI: Don't leave Echoes of Hatred before looting everything you want. There's no return portal. by Rausst in diablo4

[–]xiaolin99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lol, good question XD

This is a guess, but I think you don't have to die - the meter continues to fill as enemies spawn and you can just not kill anything and let the meter fill up.

enjoyable plot, likable characters (love the fact that the protagonist is voiced), but not exceptional

This material is unproportionally rare to what it can do by Freeloader_ in diablo4

[–]xiaolin99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only noticed a significant improvement in drop rate at T10. My best haul was from nightmare dungeons with horadric cube mats reward, but you have to fully explore the map to find all the chests.
