Short Questions Thread

I read that SP gets better drops than 'multiplayer'. Does that mean if I make a TCP/IP game that the drops are worse than if I make a SP game or is it only for online play (TSW realms)?

Can an item have both a lucky bonus and lottery bonus applied? I mean can both be tried on an item, or is it the case if I attempt the lucky bonus and whether it fails or succeeds it says 'Already upgraded' and I can never try/succeed on a lottery bonus as well?

base points are points you actually click stats into, not +stats or %

The aura was proven to work with the +stats from Tundra walker set so Im assuming it works with + stats.

So I'm trying to make a Bow Druid work, currently at lvl 121. Is there any SU's / Shrines I should be looking out for? I've had a look about but there doesn't seem to be much info on this kicking about.

That sounds just like me, and not only Median, but vanilla D2 too.

Sometimes it pays off. I was doing signet runs in Halls on my barb and there was a single mob left in the corner w 1/4 hp left. I ran to it. Merc killed it. Bam. Skin of Kabraxis.

I kill everything on my screen. You never know. Have had several belladonnas drop like this too... but in Normal; cold plains. Haha. I always burst out laughing when I get a belladonna drop in a place like Normal den of evil or cold plains. Its just so out of place.

You can only try once regaurdless of which is attempted or the outcome. Once either is attempted the item will display "Already Upgraded" at which point neither can be attempted again.

There in no difference between SP and TCP/IP drop rates, when people talk about multiplayer they are usually referring to TSW.

Is there a cap on XP from Fautz once you hit lvl 140? I've been mfing a fair amount recently, mostly in Dunc/Fautz and noticed that I've gained zero XP from Dunc or Fautz once I hit 140 a few days ago. Vizjun seems to give XP, but it's a 130 zone just like Fautz. Did they cap XP from fautz at 140 because they didn't want it to be the only place people farmed in the end game?
