Short Questions Thread

Oh god.. I feel so dumb now...
I tried to make them from rare/unique/magical items, because I wanted the things they already have, and then add more (add the runeword in addition to it)...
I went over the docs bunch of times, but it seem like every time I missed the part that came after "Grey items only!"

I kinda ignored it every time because I was like "I wanna use it on good/strong items, not regular/grey items (to gain more of it)..

So now I feel a bit confused here.. Since runewords are so strong, why would you even consider using all the other items(magical, rares, uniques and so on)?

Kindly forgive my ignorance..

PS: Unrelated but, is there a way to change the colors somehow? I am blind color and I find it very hard to tell the difference between the Yellow and the Gold ingame colors..

Are there any archived older versions of the docs in case I wanted to go back to an older version of Median?

I've been using this for the things I couldn't find in the new doc..

For the sake of making a runeword, if a runeword requires a 'throwing knife'. Is a flying knife the same thing, and will also produce same runeword, or does it REALLY need to be the 'throwing knife' specified?

(Same with crystal sword vs warp sword...)

The base item requirement refers to the item type. Throwing, flying and balanced knives would work for any runewords that require a "throwing knife". The sorceress crystal sword runewords require a warp blade. Items are listed by type in the tu/su/base items sections of the docs.

Approx Tg value of the Xis rune (Or stone, whatever it's called)? I realize it can be a bit more or less than the suggested, but I need a starting point plz.

For single-player/non-ladder, it has no real TG value. For early ladder anywhere from 50-70 TG, for late ladder 30 or less TG. It varies though, and it can always sell for more or less... This is just my best estimate.

Thanks so much! Just needed a starting point.

Cheers man.

Is there something wrong with the Skillplan on the forum at the moment? Or is it in the process of being updated? I can't seem to view them. Thanks

Well, runewords may be strong, but crafted weapons can outshine roneword weapons. Rares and crafts can spawn with on striking on melee attack and on kill procs. Those are usually really helpful, depending on the proc. Plus crafted weapons have the doubled mystic orb value and can spawn with lots of +maximum damage. And you need rare items in order to craft.
Magical items are sometimes needed when you only need 1 specific affix (for example necromancer staves can spawn with up to +13 necromancer skill levels. That‘s really neat.) other than that magical items are useless.
SU items usually add something that you can‘t get from a runeword or a crafted weapon and sometimes those weapons offer the best option for a build along with XIS runewords or elemental runewords or Great Rune runewords.
