I really don't understand these red/yellow dungeons and the uber skills on the skill page and how you get them. I read somewhere that you need to be at a certain level to do them? Is there a page somewhere that's detailed about all this stuff? Thanks.

Apart from certain challenges that require a certain max level to complete them, uber areas have no char lvl limit. All you need is to go to the guide section, where guidemakers pointed out which uber areas have easy, moderate, hard or very hard difficulty. Again, it depends on what char you are playing.

Is there anything about hit recovery other than that you can't do anything? Like getting hit more often?
Also, can you still block while in block recovery?

Using the SpeedCalc, what numbers do I enter for FHR if I have: 91 FHR (Wild and Free), 60 FHR (Gear), 20 FHR (Elemental Prism?). If I enter 91/80 in skill/item section, it says -70 FHR (I have too much), if I don't enter anything, it say you need 174 to hit 4 frames, 600 to hit 3.

You need 174 to get 4. If you have 175 it says -1 to get 4 which means you have 1 more.

There was a mention of a gear setup for something like 80-90% reduced vendor prices. I'm only in A5 hatred so all I have access to the Summit RW, only saw that modifier on a handful of sacred uniques. Anything else I can do this early, or just wait till later in game?

Not that gold is an issue, I can easily rack up several hundred thousand running Sunless Sea. Good lord that auto gold pickup is the best thing added to this mod.

Is there any help for low frame rate? Got to A2 sewers and it is not going well for me. I am using the 3dfx glide option.

On a side not, during the low frame rate the game locked up and spit out a message about an access violation 05. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the quick answer.

Just to be clear, the box for SkillFHR (Amazons Wild and Free for example) should be left blank? Is that the same for all characters/skills?
