My blocked senders list has grown... now I can get the posts that actaully deal with D2..... whew.. what would I have done with out them all ......sigh some peoples children....*rolling eyes* Roy S USEast NL one question, when you UP an item.. how much better does it actually get ????

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >one question, when you UP an item.. how much better does it actually get >???? Depends on the type of item. My foggy memory says that there are some items where the elite version isn't all that much better than the exceptional version. I think I even recall that there are some weapons were the elite version has a *lower* minimum damage (though the average is still a bit higher). All you can really do is look the particular item you're currently interested in up on the Arreat Summit or such and see how the normal/exceptional/elite versions compare to each other. There was a webpage somewhere the showed what upping various uniques would result in, but it's been too long for me to recall where. Ashen Shugar  SignatureThe lions sing and the hills take flight.

Depends on the item really. An upped vipermagi has a defense in the 800-1000 range, quite a bit more than the 270 or so def of the regular version. Likewise, my upped Jalal's Mane has def of over 400, whereas the regular one is in the 250 range. HoZ OTOH, may actaully have LOWER def than a non-upped one(a perfect non-upped HoZ is 504 def, I've traded an upped one with 486 def, and my own smiter's upped one is 556, a mere 52 higher def), though it WILL have better smite damage. Likewise, an upped Vamp Gaze often gets LOWER defense than a non-upped one. > > one question, when you UP an item.. how much better does it actually get > > ????

If you're looking to up something specific, let us know and we may be able to let you know if it's worth it or not. > Roy S. >> well how about that... so its almost hit and miss.. guess I'll just have >> to see what happens..it adds a bit more [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >> Roy S. great idea thanks..... right now I think its mostly weapons... a 513dmg WF, 650dmg Doom polearm, 400+dmg ebotd sword, for starters I have ok stuff.. nothing compared to some ive seen.... Roy S. > great idea thanks..... right now I think its mostly weapons... > a 513dmg WF, 650dmg Doom polearm, 400+dmg ebotd sword, for starters Windforce is already an elite weapon-you cannot up elite items. You also cannot up runewords, only normal and exceptional rares and uniques. Some upped unique items I see somewhat regularly include Vipermagi, Herald of Zakarum, Titan's Revenge, Shaftstop, Gore Riders, Bloodfists, and Goldwrap. > Roy S.

As for the others, Runewords can't be upgraded either. > I have ok stuff.. nothing compared to some ive seen.... Sounds like me at the Turkish baths......

This chemical therapy I am on has been so brutal, I can hardly work up the energy to eat. So this past week, I started watching B5 from the begining again (Wife is smart, she packed my DVD collection of B5), and that triggered the memory :) Mickey > > While pondering glazed doughnuts hmmm! <lojo5...@yahoo.fr> mistakenly typed > > : [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > I started watching B5 from the begining again (Wife is smart, she > packed my DVD collection of B5), and that triggered the memory :) Chemotherapy?
