Lost the four perfect gems I had: How do I remove them beforehand?
I didn't even know I could take out socketed gems. What about jewels?

Buy an oil of disjunction at Gheed and cube it with any non-grey item. (grey items i.e. Runewords need 1 oil of disjunction and 3 perfect gems in order to unsocket the sockets)

I crafted the "sigil of the 7 deadly sins", entered the Void, wanted to use "scream of Trag'Oul", but it doesnt let me, the skill is always red.
So is there a trick to make it work?

And is Envys place best to farm enchanting crystals?

There's an invisible totem in the center of the boss arena that can be killed by things that auto-target (like paladin's vessel, symphony of destruction, etc). That needs to be alive to make the skill active.

Farming EC's is likely not worth your time now since you can't Dark Summon the eternal ghosts. They don't drop from the chest ghosts, only the harpy looking ones.

oh i guess ma summons must have killed it than.

"only the harpy looking ones"? wich do u mean? and is that the only mobs drop the EC's`?

THX for help!

Do people trade arcane crystals in bulk quantities or are they easy enough to farm on my own? I've been killing Mephisto on Hatred to help improve my gear through tier upgrades and normal item to unique rolls, but I still have a long way to go. I'm stuck at level 63. My resists are too poor to kill Andariel in Terror. I got up to the jail area though. It's taking me longer than I anticipated to improve.

I've only been playing this game one week though. I joined on January 1, 2018. So I'm having some fun even though I'll likely never reach level 90, much less 100 or 120. I don't think I'll ever be good enough to find any set items or sacreds (what are sacreds?) and all that end-game stuff people talk about.

Quick question
What chance of getting elemental rune parts?
I done teganze 2 times (killed every thing on the map) but only got 1 element and no primal rune.

You can orb rings/amulet with individual resists. Armors can be orbed with +3 to all (double if on an honorific). Uptiering an item does remove orbs so jewelry is probably better for early game.

In the Documentation it says that "Arcane Crystal + Oil of Craft → Arcane Cluster"
Was that changed or am I missing something? Putting the 2 together in the cube does not do anything at all on transmuting...

Works fine for me, are you sure you're not using an old version of the mod or that you're not trying to cube arcane SHARDS instead of crystals with the oil?

at level 59, but I just recently got into terror difficulty and have nothing even close to 2 Lo runes (my highest is Mal at the moment). Any idea where I can acquire Lo without too much trouble?

Hatred Nihlathak can drop up to Ber runes I believe.

Wow, really? I've farmed him for a bit, but he mostly just drops the 3x random uniques. I'll have to try a bit more. Are there any other good sources of runes (up to at least Lo) in either of the first two difficulties, or is it sort of just up to a lucky drop? There seem to be a lot more runewords that use what were considered high runes in vanilla d2, and runes drop at a much higher rate in Median, so I'm guessing things like ~#28 aren't exceptionally rare.
