Game Forum / Role Playing Games / Diablo / September 2005what sort of rares do you keep?
How good does a rare need to be before you keep it? Would a sword that had good damage for a mid-level character be something you would keep or would you trash anything that wasn't 300+ed with other good mods? Do you pickup every rare you see or only certain item types? -- Weretable and the Undead Chairs USWest - weretable Hi, > How good does a rare need to be before you keep it?

Do you pickup every rare you see or only certain item types? I invariably keep just about any rare that has 250 or more ED on it, or if the damage to level requirement looks particularly nice, and usually end up using very few of them, maybe one quarter of all stored rares ever get used. :-) Still, best to keep at it, just in case...

Do you pickup every rare you see or only certain item types? I keep a lot of low level rares, especially belts and boots. As to high level rares, those are almost exclusively circlets and jewelry.

Thats typically my MO, too, but sometimes I hang onto something really weird like the sorc wand with <150 lightning/fire/cold melee dmg. I also like to keep plus charges stuff like a couple of LR charged wands and some DV rings, as long as the slvl is high enough.

As to high >level rares, those are almost exclusively circlets and jewelry. Boot mules full of rares - check. Belt mules full of rares - well, not, check, actually, since it takes a lot more belts to fill a mule anyway. I picked up a hum dinger of a rare war scepter the other day - 412% enhanced damage, 10% IAS, a decent chunk of +attack rating, and 10% faster cast rate as a bonus. If someone in my mule team doesn't at LEAST upgrade this to exceptional, I'm going to box them around the ears. :-) SignatureUSWest SCL: 86 barb, 87 paladin, 88 sorceress, 88 necro. > How good does a rare need to be before you keep it?

I have enough good damage midlevel weapons(and could easily get or runeword several more) to outfit a small country's worth of midlevels, so as far as weapons go, I pretty much ONLY keep things with 250+ ED AND several other good mods(IAS, leech, etc). Non-weapon items have to have +skills and resists(for ammies and circlets), high leech, resists, and stats(rings), resists/30 FRW/stats or FHR(boots), and resists/FHR/high life or stats(belts). I don't bother with rare armors or non-circlet helms. > Do you pickup every rare you see or only certain item types?

I don't bother with rare > armors or non-circlet helms. My current ladder pally is wearing a rare circlet with +1 pally skills, 8% LL, +34 life, +18 res all and another mod or two I don't recall. It's better (IMO) than the +2 pally skills rare circlet (with not much else of use) I also found. His merc is wearing a rare eth Dusk Shroud with 1348 defence, FHR and three resists. I don't believe it, I haven't played today. Been put off by the fact that my necro and all my hell-capable mules are loaded with stuff that needs sorting and it'll be a marathon effort to do as I've been dumped from too many games to just drop anything now. If it's worth keeping it's worth passing through the trade window, it's just time-consuming and requires a lot more going in and out of games, risking RD.

I hear ya! I have an ever increasing line of "cruft to be sorted" temporary mules on the ladder now.

Which is why I don't keep most yellow sh.t, and very little green sh.t unless it is part of a high end set. The sole execption to this is the Angelic set and an extra ring, as this is standard equipment for ALL my chars from lvl 6 until they make level 20.

I may have to start picking up nothing but elites, high runes, gems, and the various exceptional items that I still have a hankering for. It's gotten to the point where it takes longer to mule items than it does to find them in the first place. :-) But I just can't seem to resist saving all those guillaemes faces and whitstans shields that come along.

Level 6 is where I start the tweaking. Bloodfist gloves and Hotspurs along with Biggin's. The Angelic set goes on when it can, and Nightsmoke completes it at level 20. I have actually played a sorc through NM act4 in this setup. Mickey > Level 6 is where I start the tweaking. Bloodfist gloves and Hotspurs along > with Biggin's.

Yes, and Biggin's is 3 and Hotspurs are 5. I just meant that level 6 starts the twinking. The first items that go on are those 3, when they are ripe.

If you also get the Nokosan Relic, you can get your max fire resist up to 95 -- no, i didn't forget the 'F's http://www.geocities.com/jerk_o2002 http://www.geocities.com/nameless_mod -My Diablo 2 Mod http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/bunny.php -My theme song > How good does a rare need to be before you keep it?

Hardcore players will likely tend to keep more mid to low level items than softcore players 2. Those who play more frequently will tend to only keep higher level equipment, as they already have a generous supply of the low and mid level equipment. I play hardcore, and I'd guess I average around ten to fifteen hours a week of play. I'm a packrat, so I keep a LOT of useless items, but even I am starting to get a decent supply of low to mid level items, so I find myself keeping less and less newly found rare items. Ruben |
