I took a big break and have a question.

What happened to Median XL: Ultimative? I thought it took over Median XL's place as the mod of choice. I loaded the most current patch and it works and all but it doesn't say Ultimative. Did the name just get changed back or what? Did the Ultimative content get absorbed into this Median XL?

'Ultimative' suffix was dropped for more recent versions (after XVI) probably because, since 2017, the mod uses a new core that changed so much stuff it didn't feel like a direct continuation of the past patches. This was also highlighted by the fact that a wipe of existing Ultimative characters was needed to play the newer version (no compatibility between old and new characters). Soon the same will happen with Sigma but in an even greater measure.

I've been playing SP with a friend. I'm already very sturdy with end game gear and he still plays with a combination of early/mid game gear.

He's still missing 2 pieces of the Celestia set and we've both played quite a lot (both have 500 SOL)...


play at p8 at sp and it does not matter where exactly at yberlevels you do your farming. At SP I got most of sets eventually. K3000 is ofc the best.IIRC at p8 and 400 mf 4-8 set pieces per run at k3000 were common.


If you‘re unpartied you only need /player 7 since in that case /players 8 won‘t improve your drops.

If you're looking for the first patch that has all the Kabraxis enhanced runewords, then XVI is the one to download and you can get it here. Iirc, all the elemental runewords were introduced in the first Ultimative patches, along with
Natasha's Legacy (Xis)
. I could be wrong about the body armor but it seems like Kab runes existed and had a purpose other than 50% enhanced damage/defense. But Moddb doesn't have patches from before Ultimative V7 but some community members would still have them if a guy asked around.

All the Kabraxis enhanced runewords in Single Player works too in https://www.moddb.com/mods/medianxl/dow ... mative-xvi

They should work fine but you might refer to the old docs for the runewords because the damage rework did alter the damage/defense/pierce/spell damage and some other affixes on items.

Can you please suggest me class and build to play?
Thanks in advance.

imo your aim should be reach lvl120 and destruction baal (not kill him).
amazon: estatic frenzy + bow tree. You can deal high damage, rare skill switching, and bruteforce many mobs.
sorc: light+poison + melee tree. Same as above + tanky.

Hello.
1) How can i protect edyrems? They die in a part of second and I have to cast them again and again to make toraga's monsters vulnerable. At the moment I have to spend 5-10 seconds for each monster killing. Rathma choosen doesn't work ;(
2) Who is the best Toraja's farmer to get great runes? Can you show build/guide?
Thank you in advance.

Any summoner. The more summons you have, the easier your edyrems survive. Those summoners just have to teleport on an enemy and it‘a dead within a second.

if by "pure caster" you wish to avoid using any summons as meatshield / or avoid making any compromise for using some summons boosting gear , you can try any tree combo you wish (all of them can get you very far ) and get some reanimates instead
