. Will the boots add just 18 soft points (just increasing the stats of the 1 wolf that the barb can summon) or will they work like hard points, adding more wolves (the skill gives +1 wolf per 5 hard points)?

Hard points - you put points into skill

Soft points - all other types of added skills, no hard point synergy

Yeah, I know. But let's say, if an amazon uses these boots, she would get the skill, as if she had 18 hard points in it. But I guess it won't work the same way for a barb with any points in this skill (?).

They both get soft points from the item, not hard points, as these are not points they have used skill points for. Amazon will get 18 soft points and barb should get only 3, as he owns the skill.

How to add trophy exactly to a Dragon Claw charme?
1) u kill dragon within 30s then u cube the charm u get in that game with trophy and u mix
2) u kill dragon within 30s then u cube ur charm upgraded and u mix
3) u kill dragon within 30s then u cube the charm, u upgrade it and then again u cube the upgraded version from same game with trophy

Actually i cannot manage to do any of these 3... If it's not 2) basically it's pointless to keep a high life 1 if u plan to trophy it...

It's 2), you need to kill the dragon and cube an upgraded charm with the trophy (within 30 seconds from entering, cubing included)

Not sure cubing is included into the 30sec since when u kill the dragon, u get 2 aura which inform that u did it in the correct time.

I think it's included but I might be wrong. Simply put, if you can't cube the upgraded charm with the trophy, you're not fast enough.

Correct, the transmute with upped charm + trophy needs to happen after killing the dragon and before the 30s mark. At least that's how I've always done it.

What the hell are you talking about? Maybe you should install the version of at least D2 1.13c, then install Uploader. Or is that too hard?


:facepalm: I belive expecting intelligence here is *too hard*.
