here's some obvious things to note about the hybrids. If we "assume" that these are real, and the consistency in the pattern between all the hybrids is a requisite -- and not done on purpose just to throw us off the trail of possible importing -- well, then don't we have the exploit just about figured out? ITH items as they were defined back in .09 are no longer possible. If you manage to remove the socketed items from a runeword now, the server will delete the "ITH". But what if you make a legitimate runeword and then resocket it with runes to make a different valid runeword? Does the server still see it as an ITH? It would almost appear that the answer to that is no considering this new evidence given to you, huh? When we ITH a runeword, it retains its runeword stats. If we could insert the runes for another valid runeword before the server deletes it, what would happen? If you looked at these screenshots carefully, it would seem that the answer to that is that the special modifiers from the original runeword are preserved while the runic modifiers from the second are applied -- resulting in our new "Dualwords" as I've been calling them.
Or they're just imported. After all all the stats are perfect. Rolling two runewords in one item and getting 100% perf stats? How likely is that? Unless a shitload of time was put into re-rolling and getting successful dupes. Perhaps both importing and this new method exists? Isn't this stuff why this site exists? Shouldn't you lazy fucks be testing your asses off instead of considering actually dropping $500 on one? Or did 1.09 teach you nothing?
Okay this is SO going on my profile.
