Hello,
As a solo player, i drop a lot of shrines i don't need, and very few shrines i actually need. Is there a way to change a shrine into another type ?

Besides trading, no.

Like if i'm running Kurast 3000BA at lvl 115 with 300mf do i find more sets and sacred uniqs compared to when im running the same area with the same mf but at lvl 130?


I don't really understand your question. The only thing that affects drop rates are magic find (and more ppl in game, but thats out of the scope of your question)


I meant why would i run Duncraig where i die sometimes, if i can find every sacred unique in Kurast and im killing much faster there?

Location Duncraig It specializes specifically for the drop of Sacred items, so it is best to farm there.

You are right, if you are just farming purely SUs (and prefer not to die).
You'd need to move on to Dun Craig if you decide to farm for SSUs and 130+ areas for SSSUs. (Dun Craig also has a Unique drop bias supposedly)

All sacred uniques aside from jewelry come in 2 or 3 different variations. Their position within the table dictates what variation they come as (SU is leftmost, SSU is center (rightmost in a 2 column arrangement), and SSSU is rightmost (in a 3 column arrangement), jewelry not included). The SU variants are typically found beginning at Area Levels of 104 and beyond, SSU variants begin dropping in Area Level 117 areas, and SSSUs start dropping in Area Level 130 areas. The Flamen staves and Marrow staves are an exception to this rule, both the ending staves being SSU.

If I remember, there's no cap on UMOs, but if there is one, its 15. But I don't think it's possible because Honorific will make it Level 1, not level 0 and 151 is unobtainable (technically 146ish is "impossible" without single-player magic). Yes it would stack, but it's always been a bit of mystery how the stun attack by seconds works. It only works on melee attacks, but there's already modifiers in game for that just called Stun Attack.

I just finished the Normal playthrough of my first character in MXL. I noticed there were some elite areas along the way. Is it worth doing these or should I just proceed to NM?
