Engram - 20 Aug 2008 02:23 GMT To give away to a good home:
Is anyone interested in some non-ladder Insights? USWest. They're not the best of the best, probably pretty low level by the standards of some of the equipment the majority of you guys seem to be toting around but I figure even a low(ish) ladder item on non-ladder may be welcome.
I also have a mule full of non-ladder p-gems, a bunch of runes up to Pul (I think I had one left), plus various miscellaneous green items, a bunch of probably crap gold items and various bits and pieces on my non ladder mules. If you are interested in casting your eyes over any of this, reply to this post or look out for the accounts engram1 and mrswan on USWest.
I might make a list of items and post so you can look over the merchandise before we waste time trying to coordinate between Australia and wherever you are.
Cheers! Engram

And the runes (I have up to shael, and an Io and a Ko)
I'll look for you online.
Thanks mate.

Left some low set stuff in case anyone is a collector (like I was; kept EVERYTHING that was green, useful or not)
Thanks.

 Signature While I'll admit that anyone can make a mistake once, to go on making the same lethal errors century after century seems to me nothing short of deliberate.--V.

And where you gonna store it all?
And how many years will it take to do the actual process of "move this rune from stash/inventory to cube. Now move this one. Now move THIS one. Now stick the gem in the cube. Now open the cube and hit transmute. Now remove the result from the cube and put it into inventory/stash so we can repeat the process with the next batch"?
The mind boggles...

Yes it does, but it's really only finding the El's that's a real pain. Most of the rolls don't need gems and besides, gems are easy to get (unless you're looking for a particular one). And as for storage, I'm not sure, but I think that you'd only need one mule to store the runes in, if you keep rolling them as you get them. But I digress, I'd still like to roll a Zod from El's, even if I know that in a time frame, it's impossible.

Huh??? Normal Countess practically dumps 'em by the bucketload for me - I routinely hit her when my rune-mule's stash fills up with mismatched "junk" runes so I can cube 'em up and make some more room.
> Most of the rolls don't need gems Huh??? The only rolls that don't need the gems are those below Thul. Everything past Ort takes a gem along with the runes. Which means 2/3 of them, give or take one. Hardly "most don't need"...

Considering that it would take about 19,700 rolls just to make a Thul, that means that it would take about 59,100 rolls of El's before I could roll the Thul's. And that's just counting the El rolls, not the rolling of the Eld's - Ort's. Staggering numbers isn't it. That's why I said that most of the rolls won't need gems. Math, not logic comes into play here. :-)

Besides you can only roll a Zod on the ladder, which is why it could never be done from El's only. Unless, just maybe, Blizz never resets the ladder on D2-LoD after the release of D3. But I'll be playing D3 then so I still won't be able to do it.

As long as we end up with a Zod. :) (Preferably before the heat-death of the universe!)

Well, OK... I guess I can deal with that logic. THIS TIME! Don't try to use that kind of fancy footwork again, though, or I'll hafta get grumpy - To borrow a phrase, "You won't like me when I'm grumpy!" :)
(Oops... just revealed that I watch RTN, and an old "Incredible Hulk" re-run is on, didn't I? Oh, the shame...)

I remember a few ladders back Jabber had a mule called "CubingToZod" and would ask for all the low runes that dropped in co-operative games. I don't think he ever achieved it though.

hrhomer - 21 Aug 2008 07:16 GMT I've been back in D2 for a couple of months after 4 years off. Looking at D2.net, it says Insight is ladder-only. I haven't even TRIED to make one on my non-ladder char. Does it work on non-ladder?

You can have a non-ladder char plug the runes that would make an Insight into your favorite stick, but what you'll get *WILL NOT* be an Insight - It'll just be a stick with the runes that would have made Insight if it had been assembled by an on-ladder character.
(Although you might still be able to find someone with a "ladder converted to non-ladder by the reset" char to sell you one, and it'll work. You just can't MAKE "ladder only" runewords unless you're on the ladder)

Engram - 21 Aug 2008 08:35 GMT > So I'm guessing that is what this thread has been about - Insight > items from previous ladder seasons? Indeed. I have a bunch of items from the previous ladder that I am looking to pass on to a good home, as I have stopped playing my non-ladder characters.

Oh well, maybe tonight.

Thanks for offering.
