What happens to an Eth item if you do the 2 Arcane Crystals + Learning Potion recipe?

What about if you just uptier it with an Arcane Crystal?

Finally, dumb question, does an ethereal item disappear completely when it's durability reaches 0(if it doesn't, I could just do the above anyways)?

The recipe to create uniques works on ethereal items, but the output will be non-ethereal. You don’t gain anything doing it that way. Same goes with the upgrade. The cube recipes never spawn ethereal items. It is called an oil of enhancement btw

As far as I’m aware, ethereal items disappear when reaching 0 durability. Just put indestructible jewel so it doesn’t happen.

Thanks, that's good to know, I forgot about all that.

Now, I want to ask, has anyone tried Winter Avatar(because I have 2 kriss' and the helm for my barb)?

I can't seem to enter Harem Level 1 after I made the staff.. Jerhyn has walked out, I've talked to everyone, created the staff, talked to everyone again, and it still is saying "I can't." What am I missing here?

What does the quest logs say? Did you try remaking the game?

it has a 0.8 second cooldown, melee swing that triggers frost novas for a short time

[Semigloss]

Isn't the cooldown supposed to be removed after a certain oskill level?

I played around with the TU swords dual wield on a Barb and it was actually half decent, but the cooldown was too annoying

i've played 3 different builds around it , and they were decent . just decent . the cooldown makes it not reliable as a main attack , because you cannot spam it and benefit much from procs . it is mandatory to be used in pair with something else that either deals passive damage , or some damage over time , or also has a small timer.

examples :
1. sorceress hybrid with minions (ice elementals+blade spirits) . alternate left click to use Winter avatar -> right click to cast 1-pointer Miasma (left click , right click, left click , right click ...) . that way the timer is not affecting you much , as while you wait for using the avatar again , you can place another Miasma under your opponent's feet
2. unholy melee - pair Winter avatar with divine apparition and smaxed grim presence (damage for DA) . same as above , left click -right click alternation . in early game before accessing DA you can make use of grim presence + VoJ and scourges , or VoJ + Sod and skip grim presence (because it disables SoD)
3. summon barb - pair with Spirit Walk

you can do fine with it from the start and up to 120-ish , used from

. After that you must switch to the Kriss + shiverhood helm . Dual frostneedle for the barbarian is debatable , you may also consider using just one , with an

Enmerkar (Xis)

for stats boost and more defence

i haven't tried a holy build , but i believe it can also work well , pair with colosseum , summons and plague

unfortunately, no

Talk to Drognan..

Quests say to take staff to Tal's Tomb, find Horazons Journal, kill Summoner, find Tal's Tomb.

I've done both, multiple times.

EDIT: Went back to Lost City to try and said I didn't break the altar although I had the whole staff.. worked after that.
