To my understanding, the Full rejuvenation potion is just the normal rejuv potion but better. The normal potion recovers 100% of life and mana in... eight seconds, I think it was? I can't remember. The full rejuv potion does the same in six seconds. It might not seem like much, but if you'll notice the difference if you're in the middle of a fight.


If you can't do ubers, what's a good way to get your hands on set and sacred items in Terror?

Again, if you think those su you found was because your 200 mf then you should try with mf from charm only (60ish iirc).
Its all RNG so the stuff you looking might not drop at all.

If I donate via this website I get TG, right?

How much TG do I get for each USD?

how about being a patreon? $5 a month really doesn't seem like a lot. but then again do they get TG monthly?

again thanks for the replies :) a small community with lots of love.

Pick up an A3 merc and run Tcows. At the very most you'll need to put a fascinating craft armor on it but even naked is fine if u take it slow. Lightning arena helps with CC and summons make good fodder. The merc can kill the cows by himself if u have no dmg.

*checks wiki* Why a fascinating shrine specifically? Wiki says it adds fire damage and reduces fire resistance of your enemies. Or am I missing something? Bear in mind that I'm a scrub and haven't done any shrinecrafting before this.

What class of merc from A3? Or does that matter? I'm currently using the one I got for free from a1 because I'm loath to throw away anything useful, and that character hasn't been able to defeat Baal yet. I'm using an Iron Spiral barb, trying to follow the guide by TKorpi and apparently not doing very well. As such, I only invested a single point into the minion skills.

From act 3, the two most used mercs are Bloodmage (ranged caster good for melee characters) and Abjurer (melee good for ranged characters). Bloodmage primarily uses fire/poison spells and Abjurer uses lightning/...physical? not sure there on the physical. So, fascinating crafts for the Bloodmage and ornate crafts for the Abjurer.

If you want my opinion: I'm a 'collector' so I feel your pain, one of the hardest lessons Median has taught me: nothing much is worth keeping. Sacred unique's / Set items and a few Sacrad Rares for your current build, an off-build or two, is all you should be looking to keep - everything else is craftable or easily obtained. The game is much more enjoyable when you're not agonizing over keeping that rare that you might someday use on a build you might someday play.

As for your build, can't help there, sorry.

Okay, so I guess I should've bought an Abjurer for my throwsin then, especially since my char and merc share elements - fire and poison.

Yes, physical. Singularity deals physical damage. I guess it makes sense that being spaghettified would deal phys damage - it's either that or 'pure' damage like Purify, and I suppose that that would be overpowered. I suppose you could argue that Hawking radiation would count as a poison effect, but again, that might be overpowered. Singularities are Bad Things to get near.

Also, what are the most popular mercs overall, and for what builds? I'm curious. None of the guides I've read mention what mercs to use, so I just ended up sticking with the default.

Guess that makes sense, though I kinda feel like I'm doing that already in regards to gear.

That's okay, I wasn't expecting you to. :)

And if you don't mind me asking, who is your avatar? I'm curious.

I hate to ask, but I've run into a snag. In act3 and obtained all but the heart. Looked in Kurast sewers as quest states, but didn't drop from any kills and the gold chest only gives me magic items and gems after multiple resets. Didn't see anything listed in last couple patch notes or documentation on this forum either.

Thanks
