Spend some time testing this on stream the other day.

Results:

You have to create your own runewords to get completion.
You have to be in the game when the item drops.
You and all players still have to be in a game to get completion upon identifying the item(s)
You can still bring the item(s) to a new game and identify with the same players (Not character based, but account based)

So you cannot trade your way to completion, and you cannot join a game where the item has already dropped.


Thanks. I did have some instances whereby an item doesn't count after leaving the game, if stored in stash I think. Did you manage to test this or experienced this yourself?
How about someone unparties/hostiles within the same game, do they still share the completion?

I kept some unid items in stash, I think both personal and shared. I ID’d them the next day, they did not give chronicles to the finder or any alt character. So there might be some kind of expiry on the items too. Basically ID the item right away is the rule.


I will have to test these

Also online and offline grails are different.
Identifying an item in offline will not validate the item on online mod.
I have not actually tested softcore / hardcore but im allergic to softcore so i let this to someone else

Well the thing is people will do 8-man split MFing to complete this.
Not really a holy grail, when you never really see the item?


Idk I guess folks will do what they want but ultimately folks will always try and find ways to game the system. This is one of those accomplishments that’s really up to each person how to view it. I’m doing mine offline/hardcore and it’ll likely take for friggen ever. But I guess I’m not bothered by folks if they wanna TZ a whole act and group mf I suppose.

Is there a difference between ladder and non-ladder? Meaning, I have found some items now will they count for the upcoming ladder?

I would assume there isn’t. But we’ll find out here soon.
