Okay, I found the charm on the account and posted. I still need to know what we’re looking for besides runes. When we have some people on, I’d really like to get some items on the same account and on one or two mules to save time in locating them. I’d like to trade off the lightning charm too.
I saw a Tal ammy being offered for a mal, do we want to try for it?
I think this gear will do well for the sorc:
Wizspike and Lidless for TPing/nonMF times (we have both).
Tal ammy, armor, belt (we have belt)
Shako (we don’t)
chances (we have 39s)
some sort of useful boots
dual nagels (we have)
What is Tal’s ammy usually going for?
This person would like it:
Tal amy for mal games seem pretty common. Once in a while I’ve seen a “Tal amy 4 UM” game pop up… but I think these may be fake games setup for MFing. I spent several hours trying to trade for a Tal Amy. I finally got ticked at wasting so much time that I traded an arachnid mesh for it.
I did get a fire skills GC with 12% faster hit recovery for tals armour. [french accent] It’s a very nice![french accent]
Okay then… Tal Ammy (Mal probably), Shako (Um, although I think we’re out), and MF boots… War Travs? (No idea at the moment)
The elemental charm is gone, I traded it and an Um from my personal mule for a Mal and a Ko. They are on the community rune mule.
I think that while Meph runs are somewhat profitable, we need to be doing Baal runs and running the level 85 areas (the Pit, the River, the Crypt and the Worldstone Keep, etc…) for the highest Uniques and killing more monsters hoping to find high runes. So far, the best item found (by far) from Meph was the Arachnid Mesh. Even the Valor punha found from a Baal run only trades for about a pul. We can equip ourselves with decent items from Meph, but we need to find the higher runes to make the high level runewords. This will be especially valuable once someone finds (or Blizard releases) the 23 new runewords. None of us bot, so we won’t be doing 1000 Pindle runs while we sleep to get these runes.
Ogs_Seeker is lvl 29. Anyone who wants to hop on and get her ancients and any number of levels is most welcome. I have been pumping (inasmuch as one can do that at level 29) blizzard, which is now up to 155-196 dmg. Mastery and blizzard will continue to be pumped at lvl 30. When that’s done, we’ll have to see if a synergy needs to be worked with at all, and at that point we’ll also know how many points we can put into fire skills. From there we’ll figure out what skill is best. I’m leaning toward, but not decided for sure on, fireball. Open to suggestions, though.
Just to let you in on my experiences with my cold sorc. My Blizzard and Mastery are maxed at level 29. She does approx 2250-2400 damage with Blizzard, but I have raised the synergies some also. She’s level 67 at the moment. I did a few NM Baal runs yesterday and in those games where I could not get the quest, I killed Baal also. In one game I did not static Baal and Blizzard still killed him fairly quickly.
You’ll have to cut short the synergies for Blizzard if you want to have enough points in fire to actually be somewhat effective. My sorc will be almost pure cold so I’m going to be upping the synergies as far as I can.
Although I believe you want to use Blizzard as your primary killer, it’s not as good for packs as it is for bosses. Blizzard leaves holes that monsters will use to get at you unless your merc or party members stop them. You will want enough points in an aimed skill (fireball would be my choice of fire skills) to be able to protect yourself and to kill the cold immune.
My plan is to counter C’s fire damage sorc with this girl. Since my current lvl 89 sorc does fire damage as well as cold damage, it’s something of a useless repeat to deal fire damage, so I’m looking to do enough cold damage to hurt stuff. I’d also like to get fireball to about 3K damage with as few skill points as possible, but I am not sure it’ll take less than 60 (anyone who wants to experiment with chippydips and find out is more’n welcome).
I can’t seem to find the thread that was started about the new ladder teams and all, so I will just post this here.
Hi, My name is BurnMeUp and I’m a Dialbo 2 player!
“Hi Burn”
I haven’t played in a while but got back into it this last weekend. I started a new paladin char on the ladder and just hit level 26. I’m in lower kurast on normal right now. I’d like to join up wioth you folks when i grow up.
Anyone playing at my level yet or are you all higher?
Oh I forgot, My paladin is named SriAravan.
Hey BurnMeUp welcome to the fold. If you haven’t read all billion posts here then you can just msg one of us ingame to get the password to our sdmb games. (I don’t remember if we post the password or not…)
I have a new character (skelemancer) that’s about lvl 20 right now, so msg me at *mdsl next time you’re on.
BurnMeUp and others, post your account name on this thread and bookmark it…much easier to do than searching back for everyone’s account names or having us repeat our account names to you. Welcome!
Anyone else have updated account names to share?
I have maxed out my friends list and I need to prune off the multiple accounts of some of you to add Munch and BurnMeUp and the mule accounts. Anyone else with this problem?
I’m in the process of transferring the one box items to the new mule account, so bear with me…just really can’t do the whole job at once…when done (emptied) with a certain mule, I will delete the mule and someone can create a mule with a different name (hopefully descriptive in nature) that will help us have an organized catalogue of items that we can easily access.
Chronos had a great idea that the last mule be for high-level charms (and jewels if necessary) found on baal runs (what other runs would qualify for high-level?) that can be re-rolled with the 3p.gem recipe…Having these items separated from the rest would be helpful and any p.gem overflows can be brought here for re-rolling. The only criteria I ask of everyone is that the character who uses these is a high-level character…(Chronos, is level 91 the lowest level necessary to re-roll with all attributes possible?)
I still have some p.skulls to transfer over, but I really don’t have anywhere to put them for now…I was thinking the 8th mule can house these, but maybe it’s a better idea to put them in the amulet, ring and jewel mules so they can be used for re-rolling rare amulets, rings and jewels…I guess time will tell.
In closing, I probably won’t be on tonight…somebody got married 18 years ago today… 
I have a lvl 33 or so sorc who is in the midst of doing Baal runs until probably 45 or so. I’ll be happy to pub run Baal with you, BMU. Accounts are sd-team5 (the low sorc), iampunha (the high sorc) and various others you’ll encounter as various people use them (we have 5 communal accounts).
My sorc is being scrapped to help feed the new sorc, and either way she’ll be happy to re-roll whatever you wish. She’s only 89, though, but I wasn’t aware that there was a level above which no new mods could be spawned on re-rolls.
Most predictable drop ever;)
Question… I want to ask before I offer a trade…
Tal’s armor for Um and Mal… Do you want it? I’ll have to check the rune mule to see if we have an Um though. If not, does anyone have one to donate? Getting change is not always possible although I could ask for something for a pul which is what the change should be from 2 Mals.
We do have an Um (and 2 Mals) on the mule. I’ll let this sit for a couple of hours before trying anything. It appears the trader has 3 tal’s armors and no one has made a serious offer yet.
I’d be inclined to take it. Tal’s orb goes fairly low, a really bad one (1/1/2 or so…)is going for like 4 pgems that I saw now. Then all we would need is the ammy.
If no one comes on b.net, or posts here I’ll probably make an offer on the armor.

Ooops, the hamsters are working overtime today… :smack:
I won’t make it on tonight either. i have opera tickets. But I should be back tomorrow.
Character level matters for the six skulls recipe, but it does not matter for the three perfect gems recipe. For the 3 pgems recipe, the output item level is exactly equal to the input item level. This also means that if you don’t get something good on the first try, you can keep on re-rolling the same charms. In addition to Baal runs, magical items from the Pit, Mausoleum, Maggot Lair 2 or 3, River of Flame, and a few other areas are high enough level to get anything.
Meanwhile, Yeti’s son just made a very profitable trade, and ended up with (among numerous other things) a Baranar’s Star and a Guardian Angel. I put the Baranar’s on the team barbarian, and handed down one of his Honors and the GA to the team pally. Who_me? said that a Guillaume’s Face should be fairly cheap for him, but until we find one, if you need to fight the Clone, swap the Rattlecage back in (for the Crushing Blow).
Also, I put a Lower Resist wand on the Convictor. Let’s see if that’s enough on the next mule rush (tomorrow night? If not, it’ll have to wait until the 18th or later).
Sorc is to lvl 42 and doing 600-ish dmg with Blizzard. That goes up to around 1K when mastery is figured in for non-immunes. The difficult thing about this build is that I don’t know what amount of damage will be good for doing away with Hell Meph without doing away with him too easily (i.e. too much cold without putting enough into fire that I can’t survive Cold Immunes).
