Do you need to find the person you want to trade with in the game then trust the TG will be transferred after or is there a process where both item and TG be transferred at the same time?

Can someone please help with this, I have items I want to sell but don't really know the process so don't want to mess people around

Usually you arrange a price for an item and either receive/send the tg or receive/drop the item on the floor. Haven't been scammed so far doing it like this, which seems to be the standard procedure.

Has anyone seen a "Buckshot" Oskill on Xbows? I threw ~ 50 shrines onto a iLvl 99 Xbow and got a dowzen of tantrum but no Buckshot.

It only works 1 handed. Dual wielding disables that bonus.

dual wielding as in using it two handed? or you mean it only works with a barb using a shield?

edit: to clarify, I'm using it with a paladin

Curious what people think are the most worthwhile SET items to hang on to vs. turning them into signets of learning? Either full sets you feel should be kept or individual pieces that are always good to hang on to?

How can i craft an item with the churel oskill? what shrine + base item?

Anybody have suggestions on a class for stacking strength and using a sacred battle axe? I've been wanting to try it for a while, and now with the IED improvements I think it makes sense.

A few builds im considering:
1. Barb for neph weapons, mountain king and decent axe skills, but you're basically locked into using bear stance for defense. Might throw in a maxed fortress too now that bear stance doesn't lock out. No inherent pierce unless using blood hatred.
2. Melee necro is another option with whirlpool oskill or hellmouth for any-weapon parasite. Huge defense when stacking strength, but less IED and no inherent pierce.
3. There's also holy paladin for str->vit buff, okay defense, and pierce from euphoria. Plus no weapon restrictions. UHM is a no go because we can't stack vit.

What other thoughts/suggestions do you all have?

put the black road charm in your cube with any rune and transmute. it will create a scroll. then put the charm back in your inventory and the scroll too. right click on the scroll and voila. you need to be in town, but any act will work.
