not work? I don't see a buff icon on the bar. I really want to put it as an on-switch buff for my melee Necromancer (actually have been using it, but apparently it hasn't been doing anything)

if you just buff with it and then remove the item/switch attacks it no longer works . it only works as long it's equipped on your main attack setup (it works as intended , it's not a bug) . it doesn't work the way you think. for another example think of Lightning Arena oskill : suppose you put on an amulet with that and you cast it , it will work only as long as the amulet is on . at the moment when you remove the amulet the buff stops working . same if you want to use a buff with vessel of justice that may spawn on necro shields . when you switch attacks/remove the shield , the buff becomes inactive , even if you probably can still see the icon active in your status bar

this is a general status for all active buffs (buffs that are shooting one time at every "x" seconds , or "y" times per second) . every time a missile is generated, it checks weather or not the item is still on in the main attack setup . if you remove the item/switch attacks = the new missile is not generated = goodbye buff

passive buffs that stay there all the time , such as bloodlust or mark of the wild etc. , as long as the buff duration lasts, even if you switch attacks or remove the buffing item .

are there some rolls on RARE Sacred items that you wont roll on same but Shrined crafted item ?
mostly I am asking about on proc and o skills

if it can spawn on crafts , it can spawn on rares too . there are no procs or oskills that are "shrine crafted only"

https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/wiki/affixes the affix list is general valid for either magic, rares or crafted items

Ah, thanks for confirming. I guess Thundergod and Lightning Arena and then switching back to my Reaper's Hand would be pretty fucking powerful lol

not many such places before IOTSS unfortunately. Your only bet is to go kill Grubbers , which you can find in act 1 underground passage and act 2 dessert areas, as they got an increased gold drop bias. Doing tran athula on normal can also provide around 100k gold per full clear if you equip a few gold boost items

Can anyone help me please?

Nevermind, I found the book and I killed him. Didn't know about the book

Also lure Lucion in the open area where Malic is and try to keep the fight in between them there, it's easier to manage and run around avoiding Malic's bolts in a more open space.

Thanks. How rare is the unique cycle? And does lucion have a higher chance of dropping it?

Does Bloodlust from the Amazon and Bloodlust from the Shapeshifter stack?
They appear as 2 different buffs in game (Self blue, merc white).
