Hi guys! Just wanted to ask a few questions after lurking for a week :D
I'm really new to Diablo 2 mods.I have been playing a lot in the last week or so and been loving the mod so far. I hit 120 a few days ago following the "Crystal Maiden" sorc build from this forum which i keep open pretty much all the time :D

Bad news is, being so focused on searching through the forum for vital information i did not see the freaking timer tin the top corner :mrgreen:

As it turns out, all my playing was in vain, and ill have to make a new char after the imminent patch, but i don't care, i had fun learning a lot about the game.

The challenges, minigames, i did 4/5 BR and even killed some summons and cleared some dungeons.

Now, for the questions:

First of all i didn't even plan on playing Multiplayer, but with the new patch i would like to try. The problem is that i have 1.13c, d2se 2.2.0 and plugy 10 my gateway is sin war, but when i try and join i get this Image after a long waiting screen. What am i doing wrong?

Except for that, i have a question about the gear. There is so much to figure out. The guide(i don't need i need to link it?) just says "magical craft". I'm playing with the magister staff for the apocalypse Oskill and ice elementals for meat shield. I do get that the guide means a sacred crafted item, but i really have no idea what i'm doing. I ended up crafting something like this Image

Is it a good item, is it a bad item? The guide says get "acid fiends" on it but i didn't roll it and i have no more shrines, but am i going in the right direction?

I'm looking forward to the new patch and i hope ill see you guys online.

Thank you for your help, cheers! :flip:

i dont know about the char build and guide but as per your problem of not being able to connect to tsw, it might be caused bcz of the multires (which is not allowed on server) and/or plugy (which does not work on server but sometimes causes problems).

Run this registry file https://tsw.median-xl.com/registry.zip
run ur game without multires and plugy and try to connect to the server.

Created a complete character guide
Magical craft is about crafting with Magical shrines that provide % minion life and resistances .

acid fiends don't spawn so often so this means you will require more rolls to get it . your curent craft is not very bad but it could be better . you will have easyer and better crafts in the new patch .

Ok, disabled the plygy via d2se screen and still same error... i think it's the multires but i'm hesitant in deleting it cuz i barely made it work with my res... maybe ill try it when the new patch hits and stick to my confing for now.

The guide is this SP miniguides compilation right here
