having sigma unsupportive of plugy doesn't include tinkering with source code files lol. we all know you can open game files and read things like what samael does, etc etc. not all the players have this knowledge of coding.

We all know that Marco doesn't care about SP community that much, so it's quite obvious that multi page stash support has a low priority, especially if it would be applicable only for a single player. What I'm trying to say is, it doesn't mean that nobody can modify PlugY and make it available for others before the official core modification with this feature would came out.

Hey, i was wondering, what is the best "generic" way to build a character in early game?
I found myself doing Andy runs just for the sake of the crystals to at get least my weapon (since Grisswold box is random and i'm not sure it can drop a druid bow), and i'm already thinking i will have to do it 30-40 more times to get some TU(+uptier) without surpassing the challenge lvl.
In other median versions i would rush gold to get some Honorifics + catalyist of destruction to get some grey items for runewords, but nowadays i can only do the second after act 4 (where i usually get after completing the challenge).
Is there a better way to get items for runewords (without insane gold farm + gamble hoping for a grey) or uniques without running andy 40 times in early? ( i know i can do Mephis runs later which are faster and more rewarding, but i'm talking early-early).

don't bother with creating TU's that early . use runewords and rares for the first levels + the TU's found in the griswold box (some of them are usualy usefull ). they are enough for any build to run trough the game up until LC1 . compared to other median versions , you can find decent runes on your way ,sometimes even higher than your character lvl .

if you can't find the specific TU you want after killing Andariel or Mephisto a few times , gamble for the highest item tier (no matter the quality , it can be rare/magic or whateve .if it happens to be unique , lucky you , if not , it's fine anyway ) you can buy (t3 or t4 should not be hard to gamble) and create a higher TU tier directly , do not upgrade it from T1 onwards unless you happened to find the T1 , get the t3-t4 instead . that way you save a lot of arcane Crystals and time wasted doing re-runs

the honorifics are only accesible after killing Shenk the overseer in act 5 . if your build is not so TU orientated and would better make use of honorifics , you can just rush to act 5 - it should not take more than a few hours on /players 1 .

do not underestimate the rw-s in early game , they are decent most of the time.

having one question.

Just found an eth superior sacred druid helm, which i'd like to use to make a rw.

Found that it's possible to get indestructible jewel,
Where should i farm to find one or to find jewels with an ilvl sufficient to get it by crafting?
are jewels from terror act4/5 enough?

and, the helm is actually 0sox. can i use the recipe item + jewels to get sox, without loosing the ethereal part of it?


thanks for your time

you have to use larzuk quest to socket ethereal items. jewel punch will not work.

pretty sure jewels can roll indestructible after something like act 2 hatred. check the affixes table in the docs.

You can farm k3k in hatred, if you‘re that far already. You can also be lucky and get a +skill amulet or other neat stuff like Pgems for max resist.

Ah I See. I thought you weren‘t that far yet. In that case try k3k (yes kurast 3000) in terror. That way the ilvl should be 99.

Well, in the very early game skill amulets can be really helpful. I once got a +1 skill Amulett with a successful lucky upgrade with a required level of 16 or something like that. Lots of mo space is always wonderful ;) but an amu with +3 is of course better.

As for your jewelcrafting: do it only 6 times. After that, the ilvl of the jewel will be low enough So you don‘t get all the best stats anymore.

Hello I don't understand. I cast Rathmas choosen on my minion (any summoned). He must be invulnerable for skill's cast duration (according to skill description), at least for 2 minutes. But summoned minion dies in several seconds. Why?
