What's the difference between a sacred and a rare sacred? How can I tell it's rare? I've been looking at the documentation because I want to craft a sacred rare stag or reflex bow for my bowazon, but don't know how to tell if my sacred stag bow is rare or not. Is there a recipe to make it rare?

If an item is blue it means its magic, if its yellow it means it is rare, if it is brownish or something its unique

Thanks for this. So if I want to shrine craft something, I need to find a yellow sacred version of the item?

yes. or you can imbue 3 white items by helping charsi.

Make sure u got these items from a4 terror before charsi it

I plan to use Mindflay/Slayer as main skills for an unholy Paladin, just dont' know what kind of damage type is that? What kind of MO, jewels or runes should I put on to boost it? %Spell damage, +mana, %Energy factor, +Fire/Lighting/Magic... damage or something else?

I think it's gold rather than brown. I always preferred gold for unique items rather than the colours most games since d2 have used, often purple (including Blizz games like WoW). Just a personal taste thing I guess.

Mind flay - lightning
Slayer - magic

Huh, wonder why he was changed...there wasn't anything wrong with the old one

The old one had a crash bug that happened fairly often whenever you got within range of one of his spells or something.

After doing 5 more runs, the first two worked ok, the next 3 didn't get a charm drop. I was being quite careful.

It seems the little wooden bridge from the island he lives on (the one with his platform on it) doesn't count as "land". But I've drawn him over that to the next main land area and still not had the charm drop so I think this needs some kind of fix.

Part of the problem seems to be the behaviour of Lamias - they don't teleport with you (and they don't even seem to die with you) so it's possible that he chases one of them off into the sea, but that's just a small part of the problem (could easily run without Lamias), the main issue is that even when I'm pretty sure he's died on land I still don't get the charm.

And... there seems to be a drop bias for the low numbers for -% resists. I have a massive collection of -1% and -2% charms, no -5% and the only -4% also had -5 light radius. It wouldn't be so bad if the charm stats were not so hard to get a decent one.

Yeah that's weird, seems like something that didn't get tested at all/something that got tested once or twice and it seemed fine

I think you just might have bad luck on the -% resists yo
