I did not experience any increase in rare/set/unique item drops with my current 195% MF to be honest. I thought that there is a breakpoint somewhere around 194, but I might be wrong. Maybe someone has the correct information.

Another rare Grave Wand!



Which equals to another piece of shit ofc!



But at least I found a white one. Maybe I will have better luck with the imbue.



Currently having 2 white Grave Wands, if I find the third one, I will do the imbues.

As for the statistics:

90-91 took 47 runs, without Diablo kill.
I always ran from the WP directly to CS, with the exception of "buggy" RoF maps, which gave me almost double XP.
The average XP/run was 2.85 million, which is less than half XP compared to 89-90.

I think lvl92 would require at least 70 runs, so I need to make a decision whether I would like to try it or not. 92 was my ultimate goal, for the 100% chance to gamble ilvl90 amulets.

We will see.

That's all for today, thanks for reading! :)

Really interesting walkthrough! I was really young and my brother didn't let me play much when the patches were still early. Loved reading all the minutia that has changed. How did the prismatic suffix work in 1.00? It appears to be random for each individual resistance.


Prismatic +15-25% (Amulets), +15% (Rings) to each Resistance Rings, Amulets
In case of amulets each resist was calculated individualy, so the result could be for example like this:

+16 to cold
+23 to lightning
+19 to fire
+24 to poison

I remember 1.00 on battle.net because in the late 90's. Necromancer was my favorite character at that point because of this bug. Love this read the entire walkthrough. :wacko:

Congrats on 91! Nice to see the oldest d2 item-drops possible. Those screens really take me back to cs runs after a day of high school :-).

Personally I'd say go for 92. I assume a cs run without dia would take you like 5-10 mins (or is my mind fooling me with respect to the power of a 1.00 BG/IM/CE nec?). So worst case about de 12 hours of 1.00 Nec fun, which you can spread out over time ;-). It will also enable you to find the last grave wand for imbue and nice amu gambling.

Crazy thought; maybe you could imbue 3 bows and make a bowa after nec is 92 ;-)? Not sure ofcourse if you have tried/would like to try!

Bowas are rediciolous in classic.

Hmm maybe i'm wrong. Not sure as of when they are ok. I had a bowa in .09 and she ruled. In 1.10 and later, bowas sucked again.

Amazons were the weakest characters in 1.00. As for bows, ED% was bugged, so they did very litte damage. AoE spells like Immolation or Freezing Arrow did not work with Pierce. As for javelins, the situation is the same as today: throwing weapons can not spawn as magic/rare/set/unique. Lightning Fury had a a different graphics before 1.07, it was flashy as fuck, making you blind in the long term. So Amazons are definitely no-go.
The following builds are capable to do P8 with a good killing speed:
- Whirlwind barb equipped with a nice 2h weapon and Iceblink armor for freezing every moster. With high amount of life leech, he can manage IM curse as well (I mean he cant die instantly from one WW, and OKs recast the curses very fast anyway).
- Thorns paladin with Conversion - epic and funny build, but a bit more complicated as you need to use a secondary skill for killing the ranged mobs. Also you need to watch out for the aura, because when monsters convert back, they retain their Thorns aura for a few seconds.
- Sorc with maxed Static and any good AoE skill for finishing the mobs.
- IM BG CE nec, obviously. :)
