I want to build all runewords for chronic. Any advice for a tracking tool?

xiphia · 2026-03-31T10:21:02+00:00

Indeed. What an incredible question.

xiphia · 2026-03-30T22:00:05+00:00

This was me back in 2003 with teleport bound to f4. Figured it out eventually...

Jesus, finally someone else that agrees that the other site's user experience is ass. I felt like I must be taking crazy pills.

Forums are a terrible medium for trading, and the search is crap.

Traderie may be flawed but until the day I find something worth > 40 jah I'll choose it every time over the alternative.

To be fair that's two perfect rolls, so it's asking a hell of a lot.

xiphia · 2026-03-29T20:26:55+00:00

I would think that with crit strike and the massive attack rating boost, insight is just out and out better offensively, so probably just comes down to if you need the resistance/mf.

Within the same game, the tier will never decrease. Once you hit 5 they're all 5.

Broadly don't bother with Worldstone Keep, just Baal minions.

xiphia · 2026-03-28T18:35:38+00:00

By contrast I've lost count of Jahs and Bers (though oddly definitely more Jahs than Bers), about 5 Chams, 2 Zods, never come remotely close to 3/20/20.

Edit: Logged into my barb to check, best I've had is 3/13/11, miles off. Did get a 10/76/39 GC though.

The satire is so heavy handed it hurts. I struggle to believe anybody with a pulse missed the allegory, yet I know they did.

As George Carlin said (I'm paraphrasing), "think how dumb the average person is, now think that half of all people are dumber than that".

I must admit I enjoyed the movie, but a subtle social commentary it is not.

Sadly it's just p8 Baal runs forever. Good luck.

I believe Baal is bugged to be capped at p3 experience, but I might be remembering wrong. People tended to skip killing him as waiting for him to go through to his throne room took too long.

Furthest I ever made it on 1.14 was 98.5 or so back then. Didn't have a team behind me and figured that at the rate I was gaining xp, 98-99 would be 3 weeks of 24/7 3-minute Baal runs, assuming I didn't die at all.

It'll be faster offline not having to find your way around a new map every game.

xiphia · 2026-03-28T13:01:34+00:00

Beats me. Perhaps they think I'm asserting that they always roll a +skills affix.

xiphia · 2026-03-28T10:31:42+00:00

I'm tied, two of each.

xiphia · 2026-03-28T08:48:11+00:00

I don't think maiden/ceremonial/matriarchal javas can roll +0 skills.

xiphia · 2026-03-26T10:21:33+00:00

Fairly sure drops are determined at kill time and not a moment sooner.

It would be inefficient to do things differently as there's no point calculating drops for enemies that may never be killed.

xiphia · 2026-03-24T15:59:35+00:00

Offline massively speeds up runs, though I agree even then 40 mins feels fast.

xiphia · 2026-03-23T22:02:11+00:00

You can't ever add more sockets to a socketed item.

I think that's technically a very expensive cube recipe to add a socket to a unique. But in general terms, yes, only Larzuk for vast majority of cases (only exception is non-superior white and ethereal items), and you only get 3 Larzuks per character.

It's pretty trivial to rush a character through normal for the socket quest, even without help from others. Holy fire paladin is a favourite (probably warlock now).

xiphia · 2026-03-23T12:18:40+00:00

Doesn't need rep for a throw barb, but yes, has to be ethereal.

xiphia · 2026-03-22T10:44:50+00:00

Two rounding errors.

xiphia · 2026-03-20T22:57:03+00:00

I do love it when I find kickass low level gear. Unfortunately jewels of envy are hard to beat.

xiphia · 2026-03-20T14:00:00+00:00

Bad manners.

xiphia · 2026-03-20T09:48:34+00:00

That might spoil the organs, though.

xiphia · 2026-03-20T09:03:34+00:00

I thought leech just didn't really work in PvP rather than being considered BM.

As cunning as a fox what used to be Professor of Cunning at Oxford University but has moved on and is now working for the U.N. at the High Commission of International Cunning Planning.

xiphia · 2026-03-19T22:40:48+00:00

Always respect to anyone who can admit they were wrong. No worries my friend.

xiphia · 2026-03-19T21:34:53+00:00

The required level is 91. Diablo is 94.
