No, you can't rollover the cap with the crafts. Only runewords allow you to do that.

I've noticed that some monsters that can charge you can effectively chain stun you, even if you have massive defense. I'm not sure if it's something to do with nullifying defense if you're in the hit recovery animation or that's something specific to charging mobs.
Also, when crafting unique jewelry, can you only craft jewelry listed in the TU section or can you also craft jewelry in the SU section?

What do you mean by crafting jewelry? Runecrafted Jewels?

Double MO has been removed. You need to know nearly nothing. Runewords just work in grey items - you can make white items grey by cubing them with the jewels (1 Jewel = 1 socket), you can't give a socketed item more sockets! You can reroll a white/grey item with oil of renewal. Oil of luck for even more bonuses.

So reroll until desired stats, then luck for more bonus, if failed more reroll. If succeed get max sockets. Add Mystic Orbs*don't go above the level requirement of the MOs + the highest level of either rune, jewel, base item). Add Jewels and as last the rune. Done.

For armor items - check the base stats you want a good roll on defense don't even look at % enhanced defense. Since you roll both, the base and % enhanced Def. For example an ancient armor with +30% ED could have 4628 def or 3737. For the final RW that can make more than 2k difference!

Greetings,

Been reading/playing for a bit, first time posting.

LC2

Based on the ... information available... it seems we're to be killing death projector in swampy pit, not tal rasha any more.

Be great if the guides were ... updated.

Or old, inaccurate information removed.

Death projector keeps resetting. Best I can do is 40%. Funny, however, I dropped it this morning with no gear, just standing back and summoning a horde of minions.

I've watched the health reset after 5 seconds, I've watched the health reset after several minutes. I've fought the damn thing for ten minutes straight before the 4 o'clock position start no longer applied, and lightning killed me on the opposite side of the DP.

Apparently that tip is... less than accurate as well.

The double lightning is a real treat, as well. Why is this consistently labelled "easy"?

I didn't have half this much trouble with the previous challenges, which were supposedly harder.

... was that a short question? "Why does the health reset on the DP? How do I reasonably prevent this highly irritating bug?"

It heals on kill, so get good killspeed or skip minions.
