#D2 lod 1.11b patch full#

I think it's safe to say more players on this forum play 1.07 than 1.09, also.Д«asically I think that if you want to play earlier patches to find items for later use, 1.07 is the easy choice over 1.09. In 1.09's defense, the Small Charm affix of Inertia gives 5% FRW instead of 3%, so I guess there are two things in 1.09, not one.Д«asically to me, 1.09 is only interesting for the /players 64 command allowing for semi-easy leveling to 99. Crafts can have magic-only suffixes, opening up possibilities for ridiculous crafts you can cube Set/Unique jewelry with extra resist bonuses, and I'm sure I'm forgetting other stuff. There's also cubing bugged rings with up to 37 Mana Per Kill, Larzuk socketing giving up to 4 sockets in Magical Items or 3 sockets for Crafts. In addition to the things I mentioned above (great uniques/sets, etheral runeword base weapons), there are also fantastic +damage charms (Serrated Grand Charm of Maiming has the potential to give +40 Max Damage), and resist prefixes can be slightly higher than in later patches. If your goal is to find items that are great for 1.13 use, which I think is the main reason most people time travel, then 1.07 has like 50 different things and 1.09 has one (Raven Claw), which is also present in 1.07, albeit more difficult to find in 1.07. It depends on your goals of course, which is better. The exact details of those MF% thresholds are a bit hazy as you can see, so probably consult the 1.07 guide.ДҐ. However, since boss drops are bugged in 1.07, and capped at some low'ish Treasure Class, this is mostly uninteresting, and the great Uniques will come from Racking. Basically you need 556% MF to get bosses to drop lots of uniques, and 371% (or something) MF% for Sets. The magical MF numbers you're referring to are unrelated to rack running. For further details, consult the 1.07 guide), as well as for etheral weapons to use as Runeword bases in 1.13 (etheral 1.07 weapons have a +50% ED bonus to their base max damage, which is basically super awesome). In 1.07, you rack for the special 1.07 Uniques/Sets that are greater than in later patches (the popular ones being M'avina's Tenet, Valkyrie Wing, Harlequin Crest, Laying of Hands, Skullder's Ire, Arkaine's Valor, Wizardspike and maybe one or two I'm forgetting.

There are HF rushing guides out there I'm sure if you want full details, but 1.07 and 1.09 rushes are close to identical.Д¤. Of course, that build would be useless in 1.13, but that's not really an issue since there's respecs.ДЈ. Can't answer for 1.09, but in 1.07 the best build is Frozen Orb/Static Field (which is great in this patch). I think I got to level 80 or so, then a few more levels when I did p8 Cow Runs for a little while.Дў. Leveling on p1 is pretty slow in 1.07, but getting to 75 is very feasible indeed. I've read that people rack run in both of these patches, but there's some sort of 'magical' MF numbers in 1.07? Is there a guide to racking and how it differenties in 1.07 and 1.09? How about the general MF'ing in the patches (mephisto and the like), any differences?ДҐ) Any other differences between 1.07 and 1.09 one should know before making decisions? Which one is your favorite? Which one of them has more players here in SPF? Any trading possibilities?ДЎ. Here are some questions I haven't found full answers:ДЎ) How is the XP between 1.07 and 1.09? I know that in 1.09 it's the easiest to get lvl 99 character (hell cows and bloody runs), but how's the XP in 1.07 up to lvl 75? Is it feasible to play 1.07 up to lvl 75 and then forward the character into 1.09 to lvl further when some of the 1.07 goodies have been found?Дў) What are the best sorceress builds in 1.07 or 1.09? Are they easily converted to 1.10+ builds? I remember that firewall/orb builds were great in 1.08, at least?ДЈ) How is the hellforge rushes in these versions? Any differences? I hear 1.09 HF rushes are easier than 1.10+ ones.

So hopefully this thread can be helpful to me and players after me in collecting information about 1.07 and 1.09.

However, I can't seem to choose between 1.07 and 1.09 as they are both getting some play time here in the forum. I'm quite interested in the early LoD patches (after figuring out pre-lod classic was sloooow) and some quirks they've got.
