Communal list of random median xl tips and knowledge

yes, but I'm not revealing it.

sorry heathen.

noob tip: if you're playing a melee character, it's good to use the first gold you have to buy a mystic orb that has mana on attack, so you can spam the melee skills that require mana from level 2 onwards.

tip : u can use act5 item socket drilling quest to drill sockets in ethereal items (if the item dont have any sockets to begin with) so dont waste that quest on just anything. U can use it to make rws with ethereal superior version of some armor of weapon.
P.S. : Dont use it to drill sockets in secret nagi bcz only in that weapon it will give 1 socket otherwise in every other item it gives max sockets.

So just to try and understand a bit further, is it true that only fire elementals can only drop a fire stone and cold elementals only the cold stone etc?

If the skulls and the stones have an equal chance and elementals can only drop their own stone then that makes a lot more sense to me. That means that in theory, assuming a full clear, skulls are 6 times more common than a single type of stone.

Is that right? Because elementals can only drop their own type of stone and have an equal chance of dropping a skull.

I have a useful tip for pretty much anyone playing the game and I haven't heard it anywhere, just figured out randomly:

When buying MOs and Elixirs for crafting hold "Enter" key while buying and you can buy faster.

Damn, when I said it had the same speed for me, I used RMB to buy oils. Now I did figure out the trick. Thank you

Fastest way to refill potion into inventory is :

1. Get at least 3 rows belt (tier 4 and above IIRC)
2. Shift + RMB to fill potion automatically to belt
3. Move cursor to belt slot and double click (unwear -> wear belt)
4. Rinse and repeat

Faster than rapidly pressing LMB or LMB + enter combo.
*Im expert at chugging multiple potions for no reason, during leveling and endgame.

drop chance of skulls is 1/2 of the stones drop chance, rolls is right

I'm glad you got it to work. I tried to keep my explanation for the trick as short as possible but I guess I'll need to improve it. It is really a very unconventional trick.

Dont use summons for Baal.

In fact dont kill Baal at all. Stay in Hatred. GG 120.
