Game Forum / Role Playing Games / Diablo 2 / November 2007ID Jewell please?
I picked up a Jewell with the description of "Garnet Jewell of Freedom" with fire resist +9% and "Requirements - 16%" The latter baffles. Can someone explain. I've never come across this before, at least not that I can remember. >I picked up a Jewell with the description of "Garnet Jewell of Freedom" > with fire resist +9% and "Requirements - 16%" > The latter baffles.

One of my long-standing grumbles about the game - They could have at least used a legible typeface... Among others, 5 & 6 and 8 & 9 frequently can't be distinguished unless seen against a solid black backdrop (and sometimes even then it's difficult, at best)  SignatureDon Bruder - dakidd@sonic.net - If your "From:" address isn't on my whitelist, or the subject of the message doesn't contain the exact text "PopperAndShadow" somewhere, any message sent to this address will go in the garbage without my ever knowing it arrived.

Now all requirements for equipping other items are 16% lower than normal - So, for instance, if you have a sword that would normally require a 100 strength to equip, and you're wearing the item with the jewel in it, you only need a strength of 84 to be able to equip the sword.

Not quite that powerful. The jewel does lower Str/Dex requirements, but it only affects the item it is socketed in.

That's news to me, and contrary to both what I've been told before, and what I recall from practical application - for a time, I specifically relied on the fact that a "-x% requirements" jewel in a hat one of my early sorcs had would let me wear armor that I couldn't equip otherwise because the strength requirement was too high. Then again, it's been long enough on both counts that things may have changed with the various patches since...

Huh. It's been my belief that 'requirements - x%' works the same whether the mod is inherent to the item or added by a jewel, but I've never actually tested this, so it could well be that I'm wrong. I'll check this out, next chance I get.

I feel flattered, but see Shiflet's response; it only affects the item the jewel (or Hel) is socketed in. I don't have any experience with patches before 1.09, so I cannot comment on the game's behaviour before that with any 'authority'. *ehrm* ;) Regards, Patrick.

As far as i am concern, i forget almost as fast as i learn...so everyday is a new one !! (light exageration here, but still..)

Nothing has changed, a -requirements jewel ONLY affects the item it's put in, and always has been that way. Same with Hel runes. > I picked up a Jewell with the description of "Garnet Jewell of Freedom" > with fire resist +9% and "Requirements - 16%" > The latter baffles. Can someone explain.

I find that's one of the grerat things about this NG. Ask about one thing, you get a reply along with tons and tons of info, sometimes OT, but always interesting. Thanks again. Peter |
