Started as Thornwarden because they are very durable and have some questions...
Thornwarden can reach to get all challengers and uber charms or is better to have it to farm things?
What is the max of "Crafting Orbs" you can cube with a item?
What things can I put in the sockets of Tiered Uniques I have already?
What I do with the surplus of Runes? Upgrade them to save space?
Exist better Jewels or can be crafted?
Thanks for the help!
You arent stuck to one build on same class, you can still respec with Akara once on each difficulty, plus Belladona Elixir will start drop on second difficulty Terror which also respecing stats/skills, so you can test on your own and have fun discovering without need of releveling same class.
Mystic orbs can be cubed up to five times per type (normal ones from NPC) and without restrictions (unique mystic orbs, which can be only droped). In both cases cap is level requirement (you decide), normal ones add +4 and unique add +10 required level per orb.
Early you want to put perfect gems (Amber, Onyx, Bloodstone, Turquise) into remaining sockets in your armour because it add resistance and +2max resistance. For weapons Perfect Rainbowstones for crushing blow, Amethysts for attack raiting or Perfect Rubys/Saphire if got problem with sustaining life/mana.
If you and your mercenary are already good with runewords then runes was used to make gold, you simple was putting single rune into throwing knives/axes and resell to NPCs with profit.
There is list of regular unique and sacred jewels under Items in Documentation on site. Rare jewels droped or magic jewels rerolled with Oil of Renewal can be useful for filling remaining sockets with runewords, before you will be able to craft the ones suitable for your build. Jewelcrafting requires in some cases higher runes and good amount of arcane crystals (using one shard per try).
