Fantastic, thanky so much for sharing.

I would like to add:
You can hold and use as many latent sunder as you want.
Renewed works like torch/anni you can only every have one on your character.


How does that work? Let's assume I got 5 latent and 1 renewed sunder in my inventory and cube 1 latent to 1 renewed - does that mean I can only put it from the cube to shared inventory?

Thank you for your additional information. Any data proof on hand? Or is it based on your testing, which is also very valueable at this stage?

It seems hat the TZ affix (e.g. ligthning enchanted, cursed etc.) has also an influence on the spawn behaviour of the herald. In a complete terrorized act3 (which is quite big) no herald spawned. It was cursed. In the same game in act2, which was not cursed but with spectral hit, the first herald spawned immediately in one of the first tombs. This is a n=1 obersvation, but maybe someone from the d2jsp community can confirm this? Thank you ^noname_1x1 for all the testing.


it has nothing to do with the monster affix, its just EXTREME rng. 2% and 1% aren't great odds.
yes, this is from datamining the 2 and 1% and me personally testing the mechanic in offline.

?

classic ladder -> lod ladder is already allowed

they have already said moving forward will be allowed (classic -> lod -> rotw).

if they already said moving forward will be allowed, then any 'compatibility issues' with 'old sunder' and the new 'latent sunder (pre crafted 'new' sunders) have already been solved internally

therefore nothing would stop them from preventing ladder-LOD -> ladder-ROTW other than their care of the economy (which they give no fucks about apparently)

so i think you are OMEGA coping that lod -> rotw ladder will not be allowed

we will see though. you have more faith in blizz than i do! (shame on you)


If they will allow the transfer then there would be no reason to have removed sunders from ROTW. They don't want their player base split. Sales is the number one priority for blizzard. Above all else.

They LITERALLY want playerbase split. It creates fomo which creates sales. There is no subscription service here like in WoW where the argument can technically work..lol. They just want 25$ and thats it bro. shows up on the earning call. thats the max they can milk from one person (unless person wants multi accounts which is super low % of playerbase)

Also the new item base for sunders is the easiest/cleanest way to create 'crafted sunders' - allowing blizz to simultaneously not create shit code in their game & also create 'fomo' (oh man i cant create the 'good' sunders so ill pay 25$ to get access to them)

what are these cope rationale lmfao

anyways we will see day 1 in 3 days from now whether ladder (non-rotw) -> ladder (rotw) will be allowed

then you can quote me and tell me i was wrong/right

The new sunders are better than the old ones and even better will be the -res on magic charms. Those new ways to get -res are the best way to create the fomo you're talking about and drive the most sales. But they can't have those new methods alongside the old sunder charms.

I created 10 new p1 games, in 10 new terror zone games I got 3 Heralds (1 per game). 2 other games I got the message "you draw the ire of a herald" multiple times but no "Heralds is hunting you". 471 MF

Q: Anyone know if you need to get consecutive heralds same game to reach the lvl 5 Herald? Or can you kill Heralds in multiple games to get lvl 5 this way?

must be same game.
so use those world stone shards. act 1 and 2 are the "best" ones to use as they are the stones needed for the SHITTIER sunders of poison and cold (to turn them into renewal versions) so you dont need to hoard the other 3 (which will be used for lightning, and then the desired physical and magic ones).

i currently try not to spend my act 3, 4 and 5 stones unless i ABSOLUTELY need to.

Here is my tip to use for farming sunders that im currently using. Had a doodoo cold one drop earlier but just a matter of time and effort for the other ones.

Requires you do some clock management to maximize the amounts of "free" heralds.

TZ timers will end at xx:00 or xx:30 for your real world timer ... so use those 30 minutes to ur advantage.
I will just farm whatever (usually keys right now for more torches, which also have dog shit drop rates atm LOL).

Then when its around xx:25 (this means 5 mins left before current TZ resets). I use this time to go hunt for a herald at the current TZ spot. I spawn him, then now im lvl 1 tier. Now i wait till current TZ ends, then once the new one starts, ill go straight to the next TZ and "try" to get a herald. IF NO HERALD, ill abandon the plan and just go back to key farming (so im not spending one of my act 1 or act 2 world shards).

NOW ... if i happen to successfully immediately get that 2nd herald on the freshly changed TZ timer ... NOW ill go ahead and spend 1 of my act 1 or act 2 world shards to fully terrorize ONE of the acts. Now that an act is fully TZ'd, now i just go and spam find the heralds... hit my max lvl tier and then just continue farming the whole game. If i end up clearing that specific act, ill move to the next one (so if i started with act 1, ill use my act 2 stone). From there keep farming, then get lucky wit a sunder hopefully... then make a new game (im not sure if a 2nd sunder can drop after 1 drops in that current game. Might be using same rules like uniques where once one drops, u cannot get a repeat same uniq to drop). I didnt over spend my time testing beyond finding the 2x acts as to not waste my valueable act3/4/5 stones IF that unique factor is indeed true... although each unique sunder might be in its own category since its listed in the chronicle
