Probably you cannot shrine ETH items and even if you could do it you would loose ETH on it.

I knew that I couldn't shrine craft (it rerolls the item, so you would lose eth anyway), but I thought shrine bless simply added stats, like a MO.
I'm a little disapointed, but thanks for the quick answer

should work fine.

2 ac + shrine + sacred rare/craft/honorific item

@Squiggoth to elaborate a little on what Crash is saying here.

There are two recipes.

1) Shrine Crafting. This rerolls the item and you will loose the ethereal feature of the item. You can do this one over and over again as many times as you want, or until you run out of shrines. Most people do this step a number of times until they get something with the properties they want.

Rare/Crafted Sacred item + Shrine → reroll item as crafted + Shrine (-1 charge)

2) Shrine Blessing. This is the one that keeps everything the same but adds the shrine properties to the item. This is the one that should keep your item ethereal. It can only be done once to the item though.

2x Arcane Crystal

That's actually a good question, perhaps an oversight from the devs, there was a reason to disable those kind of recipes before they fixed ethereal bug but now it's kinda pointless. Nothing can stop you from applying shrine blessing to a rare non ethereal weapon or armor piece and then adding

Empyrean Touch

Empyrean Touch
Occult Effigy

Cube Reagent
Cube with Any Weapon/Armor to Add Bonus
Item Becomes Ethereal
+10 Required Level

on top of it, doesn't make any sense that it can't be done the other way around. There is a special case when ethereal bug fix is not gonna work properly, but for this particular case it should not be an issue, at least I can't see any technical limitations.

Does magic find have any effect on UMO or Effigy drops?

However I do think there might be some areas where they drop more frequently. I can't remember what thread this was from but I saved a screen-shot for informational purposes. Can't guarantee how accurate it is either. Perhaps you could PM AzureGladiator to find out where he came up with this.

Yep I can definitely confirm that the best drops for UMOs and Effigys seem to come from Lab 11+. Was just curious if MF would have any bearing, although I can't think why it would as MF is simply creates a higher chance to roll a base item to the higher tier and there's no such thing as tiers for UMOs or Effigys.

Ty for the answer guys.

I finally got the Pulsating World Shard and got everything i need to cube with it except the Mystic Shard.. Is it a random from from the Spirit World Boss in Tenganze? Also do i cube all the Charms and Rings with the Shard together or one at a time?

1. What does "+2 Remorseless Winter" passive on the SSSU Azurewrath do? I found some old topics about the sword, but no description of that passive.

2. Is there an attack similar to Zeal from the vanilla Diablo 2? If there is, would it be able to proc "on attack" triggers more often than all other attack skills?

I'm not entirely sure on either answer, but I have Azurewrath and have been unable to figure out what "remorseless winter does". Would be great to hear from a dev on that one.

Aegipan

runeword (and Xis version of it) have 3 skills from which Ravage is 10-attacks sequence.
There's old-UHM-like system: need to apply Terror Feral strike that will buff you and enables using of 2 other skills: Ravage and Thorn Field.

PS: downvote for answering lol :mrgreen:
