Both are incorrect. Monster flee can still occur and cause item to turn orange. I dont believe this can occur on a sword anymore though. Wands/Maces/Flails I know for a fact do carry the trait.

Well look at this screenshot which I just took from my barb with his bo swords:



To me that looks kinda orange-ish or at least very different yellow to the usual gold-yellow.
I also have no idea from which stat it comes. Maybe lightning res but then the other orange sword doesn't have lightning res so no idea?



Here I tried to make it look like the other screenshot from the other post http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=57878942&f=103&o=0
/e You can see that it looks at least close to that orange exe

just found a dagger with monster flee and is very orange

Monster flee is what makes it orange
It cannot spawn on swords like TpKd said
Your sword is ias yellow
He was right about certain items being able to come out orange still mace flail wand daggers and maybe few others we forgot.

i want an orange martel

I checked the colors again and you seem to be right. Even directly in game the color of my giant sword is more yellow than that monster flee exe. The monster flee exe also seems to be somewhat brighter at the top.

I'm not often wrong about super rare items on classic ;)

OP obvious noob stuped thred

Bump

fair enough but i was more talking about the exact mod displayed on the sword and partizan. 100% chance for monster to flee on hit. pretty sure the mod that spawns nowadays is 50% chance.
