When you say flat damage reduction, you mean stuff that says "Damage taken reduced by 30" instead of "Damage taken reduced by 30%" right? I'm guessing that's because of one of the mechanics you were talking about? Is there any good material I can read to get a better understanding of this quest and the strategies involved? I've tried searching youtube videos, but Median XL videos seem to be rare and out of date.

Yes, Gheed and other NPC's are selling mystic orb with Damage Reduced by 6 so on each jewelry piece you can stack up to 30 from mystic orbs (only x5 same mystic orbs type can be applied on same item), if item had affix with that stat already then you can go higher.

By mechanics I meant in general AI and skills enemies are using and available improvements which mod are offering for your gear.

That was the reason.

Btw, terror ancients req is 40, hatred 25

so, for rushing, there is no point to be under lvl at terror 40 - you practically do not get xp from the party, tcows help.

Alright and one more thing. I recently got a Flowerspring (Stag Bow) and upgraded it to tier 3. However, the stats on the item are tier 1 not tier 3. It has the 3 next to the name to indicate it is indeed tier 3, and even has the 168 Dexterity requirement. But it still has 15% chance to cast level 6 Death Blossom and all the other stats that come with tier 1. What did I do wrong?

Add a Rune to the recipe. AC-only just uptiers the base item. AC+Rune uptiers the stats, too.

Oh crap. Can I fix it or is my item broken now? I completely forgot the rune.

When you will uptier it again with proper recipe it will be fixed for next tier version including all bonuses unique got.

you can . with the rare downlevel recipe . just that the stats on the items will not be so godly due to the low ilvl . however you can't use it for rolling jewels , rings or amulets .

Cube bow + 2 AC + oil enhancement. That will reroll the bow to correct affix etc.

I played around with EF and SF items a bit. Tried to find the optimal stat distribution for my UHC to gain as much SD bonus as possible (the sum of EF and SF bonus).
Is it intended that the sum of SF and EF bonus is capped at 200%? I always thought that you gain extra SD from SF, even if your EF part is capped already...
