There'll be full wipe on the realm, same as with Sigma 1.0 (and if that didn't kill NL community why would this one be any different @blatkill) - it's nothing intentional, it's sadly the way how this ancient D2 engine works - when you change some things, it breaks older chars.

We haven't talk about converting them to be able to download them for SP use yet.

Thanks for explaining. I didn't play before sigma so didn't realize that's what was done when 1.0 came along.

I noticed you said "yet". So perhaps there's a chance it might be possible.

Hy! I have some issues with my ice elemetals. I play with lightning sorc (full set + lilith temptation and a crafted boots). I'm at lvl138, but after lvl136 my elementals disappears. I'm in the town, they dissapear, I pick up the loots after the fights, and they disappear. Even if I do nothing, the same...... It's like they have a "timer". But from the beginning, they were awesome and tanky. I don't understand what happened

AFAIK, Wildfire counts as a melee skill, and I can see it proc "on melee attack" procs, but how does it work with LoA/MoA? It doesn't seem to have attack rating nor a melee hit per se... does it still use an AR check even if it's not displayed on the char sheet?

How easy/hard is to obtain certain set for your character.

I'm really unlucky, like I only have a shield for my barbarian which I want, anything else....nope :cry:

Yes, it uses normal attack ar for loa/moa.

Yes, it uses normal attack ar for loa/moa.

It prompts a question: does wildfire need AR ?

Not for the damage since the damage itself is basically spell damage caused by an auto attack, but if you want to get the life/mana on attack you will need to invest in AR as it only triggers when you actually hit the target.

Shouldn't be that much of a problem though as you get flat AR from the passive which can easily be scaled upwards with %AR.

I'm sure this was asked before... but my brother lost his catalyst of learning. How does he get a new one?
