Got a 120 barb followed by Iron Spiral guide and 120 bowzon that I made on my own, zon ain't able to do nothing, and with barb I can farm at most terror cows/k3kba for sets... I'm playing on realm.
If not then what char will be able to do farming with just crafts/simple RW?

Ofc sorc is still viable. There is a lightning/cold guide in the guide sections, however, fire should work as well since you get tons of spell damage and have a 1-point flamestrike that doesn't leave anything alive. + Good summons, good amount of DR and defense, good amount of HP.

Most melee builds can farm easily by using

Also am I a complete fool for socketing elemental runes in regular gear? I can't tell if they actually help or not.

at level 59, but I just recently got into terror difficulty and have nothing even close to 2 Lo runes (my highest is Mal at the moment). Any idea where I can acquire Lo without too much trouble?

Hatred Nihlathak can drop up to Ber runes I believe.

I felt bittersweet when I upgraded my unique armor to tier 5.
Lost the four perfect gems I had: How do I remove them beforehand?
I didn't even know I could take out socketed gems. What about jewels?

Buy an oil of disjunction at Gheed and cube it with any non-grey item. (grey items i.e. Runewords need 1 oil of disjunction and 3 perfect gems in order to unsocket the sockets)

I crafted the "sigil of the 7 deadly sins", entered the Void, wanted to use "scream of Trag'Oul", but it doesnt let me, the skill is always red.
So is there a trick to make it work?

And is Envys place best to farm enchanting crystals?

There's an invisible totem in the center of the boss arena that can be killed by things that auto-target (like paladin's vessel, symphony of destruction, etc). That needs to be alive to make the skill active.

Farming EC's is likely not worth your time now since you can't Dark Summon the eternal ghosts. They don't drop from the chest ghosts, only the harpy looking ones.

oh i guess ma summons must have killed it than.

"only the harpy looking ones"? wich do u mean? and is that the only mobs drop the EC's`?

THX for help!

Do people trade arcane crystals in bulk quantities or are they easy enough to farm on my own? I've been killing Mephisto on Hatred to help improve my gear through tier upgrades and normal item to unique rolls, but I still have a long way to go. I'm stuck at level 63. My resists are too poor to kill Andariel in Terror. I got up to the jail area though. It's taking me longer than I anticipated to improve.

I've only been playing this game one week though. I joined on January 1, 2018. So I'm having some fun even though I'll likely never reach level 90, much less 100 or 120. I don't think I'll ever be good enough to find any set items or sacreds (what are sacreds?) and all that end-game stuff people talk about.

Quick question
What chance of getting elemental rune parts?
I done teganze 2 times (killed every thing on the map) but only got 1 element and no primal rune.
