Is there a guide somewhere on the best way to MO runewords? I know there at least used to be some runes IE how to reroll the item beforehand and % max enchanted defense/damage caps but I cant seem to find anything anymore.

The only Challenge in Normal is the Level Challenge (see link below).*
https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/quests/challenges

Bosses on Normal are just the quest, Act, and Challenge bosses.

Check out D2Stats Reader, found in the Tools section of the Forum (see link below).

I found the keybinds data stored in the preferences.json file. Tried deleting the file to let the game auto-create a new default with no luck. There's no coding for a function like "hotkey_showbelt" "hotkey_showpotions" "hotkey_expandbelt" or anything like that..tried adding a few random commands that I thought might make it work to no avail. The numeric code that matches the ` key is 192

Does anyone know the "hotkey_xxx" function that would be for showing the extra potions slots on belt?


I don't think it's possible at this time--or, at least, I haven't heard of a solution for this yet. There are a lot of problems with how the belt functions right now. This is one of them.

Usually, prepping a base item for a RW goes something like this:
> Reroll the superior base item using Oils of Renewal until you get the ED value you want (+35% max), either full sockets or zero sockets, and whatever other mods you want (such as AR for weapons).
> Apply an Oil of Luck to see if you get a good ED bonus (+20% max, which means +55% total is possible) and whatever other mods you want (+Phys Res for armor, AR for weapons, etc.).
> If your item has zero sockets, cube it with the appropriate number of jewels to add sockets.
> Add ED orbs.
> Make the RW.

*Original statement mistakingly included Ennead Challenge.

I understand that Exorcism scales with All skills and Magic spell damage.
1. Would Assassins "Doom" Skill -enemy magic res affect it accordingly?
2. I assume it would not add extra physical damage per hit, right?
3. It won't proc on kill, right?
4. A weapon with AoE wouldn't give Exorcism AoE, or cast it on multiple foe's in one swing?
5. Does skills that add flat damage to magic attacks affect it's damage output? Such as Bowzons dragonlore?

Has anyone seen a Belladonna Extract drop in Normal or Nightmare?

Just want to confirm if the patch notes were right and they actually can drop before Hell.

I have not seen one drop yet in Normal, but that could just be RNG.

ennead challenge is in Nightmare difficulty, by killing act3 boss, he opens a portal to an challenge area, the bosses there will drop an item for the ennead challenge

i know Solfege knows this correctly, just wanted to help, to make it clear

@Zennith
the AoE spread of magic dmg over time, should be come from the oskill at this point, not from the base weapon,
the AoE dmg from the base weapon, is imo just default attack dmg from the weapon itself not from the oskill
► Show Spoiler

btw it seems like an strong oskill this patch, because most of melee utility is gone, like open wounds etc.
its worth trying to give it a go for sure, i guess any magic dmg source is more usefull now at the moment
but cant tell 100% without having tested it, just imo atm


*

@Zennith
magic flat sources from equipp and charms -> add there dmg to attack/range-attack skills, but not to passiv skills, imo
but would test this in specific cases before tell for 100% sure

@Solfege

add:
► Show Spoiler

but must be tested for sure i guess

Mouse 5, but note that if you don't disable it you will stutter step/run every now and then due to regenerating stamina.
