Description

Hi guys,

Day is finally here got last piece of the puzzle,
Ber
rune to complete Enigma rune word.
Jah
Ith
Ber


Was initially aiming for
Archon Plate
, but I've been holding on to this drop for more than 2 weeks....
Check stats below:
Superior Wymnhide def 518
It's pretty comparable to a
Archon Plate
right?

Lastly (getting nervous), it's safe to socket Enigma on this gray color Wymnhide armor right?
(Just started playing D2R in Jan, barely 4 weeks into the game)

Thanks a lot for your advise and comments!

You can check out this thread, too 😉 There is also a picture in there how every type of armor looks on every char 🙂

You´re welcome. If you do decide to change your mind, e. g. you want a
Mage Plate
, contact me. I can give you one with 3 OS.
But as I said, in Principle your
Wyrmhide
surely is a good base 🙂

I only mention since you've only played 4 weeks - repair costs for superior armor cost way more than normal armor repair costs. Rals + cube can alleviate this, but just wanted to put that out there. It's not too big a deal overall though.

It can be a big deal if you have a habit of mindlesssly clicking the "repair all" button at the blacksmith vendor. Whoosh, and your entire personal stash of gold is suddenly empty. Wait, where did all my gold go? HELP! I have been robbed! 😂

Of course it is :) Any body armor with 3 sockets will work. Just not if they have 4 sockets, that would leave one socket empty - the rune word must exactly fill all the sockets of the item.

I'm in CET (Central European Time), so that's UTC+1 normally and UTC+2 during DST.
My profile says Ladder, but I play both Ladder and Non-Ladder.
My profile says Softcore, but I play both Softcore and Hardcore.
My Holy Grail Tracker is for Offline Hardcore.

Thanks for the advise guys!
I can't keep the excitement. Went ahead and socket them.

Teleport
is fun! Now I know why sorc farm so fast! I used to use
Teleport
staff, then
Teleport
amulet.... but it's so slow because I look and check carefully the surrounding before doing the next jump. And besides, it seems 1) die quite often using staff as there's no shield 2) using amulet because of concern of charges left, action is also bit slow and reactive. BUT
Teleport
using mana is whole different ball game!

P.S. I kinda regret socketing using superior base now.... it's like 35K per 1/27 durability repair. Not breaking the bank as I've accumulated almost 10M gold (quite easily I might add cos I've 2
Gheed
). Have traded the 39% MF to a friend for
Ber
which allowed me to have Enigma ;-). Thanks again my friend!

Wyrmhide
is an excelent base, has good defense status and still low STR requirement. I planning doing mine in a 458 defense
Dusk Shroud
.

If you are not a melee char, you almost certainly wil drop a random
Ral
rune before need to repair your superior armor 😉
(My javazon have a
Dusk Shroud
superior - only 22 durability - and have no problem repairing with random
Ral
😉😉 - keep always two on shared for repair)

For a while: not accepting
Ral
or
Hel
; and considering
Perfect Skull
as a regular
Perfect Gems
on my trades.

If you don't plan on selling it, I really don't think base has much of an impact.
IMO something that gets you to save tons of stat points is the best. Everything else is just ocd stuff.

OP
Thanks again guys for e input.

After few hr of playing (char is hammerdin/hof), I’d say having
Gheed
works really work on mitigating repair cost. Still building good gold stash and need to gamble away to keep it from being full.

Lvl 90 now, prepping for d clone + Ubers this weekend (my first). First thought is a restat (especially w Enigma), still have 2 more chance w
Akara
😄

Don't forget that you can mitigate repair costs on superior items as mentioned above with the
Horadric Cube
recipe,
Ral
rune + Armor -> repaired armor :)
Gl with your first ubers!

Thanks guys for reminder
Ral
repair recipe. U’re right that I’ve more
Ral
than I care to count cos not melee char. That’s a good fallback if gold running low 👍🏻

on paper
Ral
is cheaper than gold to repair if your repair is > 500-833K 🤔
10 MM ~ 1
Ist

~ 12-20

I didn’t know that
10M gold ==
Ist

12 - 20
Ral
==
Ist

That’s good!

My gear seems to have more gold bonus in addition to
Gheed
’s 150+% xtra gold. I haven’t checked really as I always get to 10M pretty quickly (~2, 3 days). Always gamble away on crowns…. Used to gamble for amulet (hoping for a
Teleport
).

Oh ya, I do pick up orbs/

/helms to sell. They’re pretty easy cash

Mage Plate
makes most sense. It is light weight and has Max 3 Sockets. So Enigma fits perfectly. With torch and
Annihilus
you can start right at dex. Strength is upped to ca. 140. So a
Monarch
Shield is another option.

Btw: Feel free to ask around in trade section for items. Theres nothing wrong with it.

Well for Enigma there are different variations possible and good.
I am using a
Full Plate Mail
for my Barbarian.
just because it is heavy.

You can mitigate the costs with 2 items:
-
Gheed's Fortune
up to 15% discout
- 3os bow with runeword Edge 15% discount
(pick bow with low requirements such as
Hunter's Bow
)

That's up to 30% discount. Helps...

Regarding
Teleport
Amulet or
Circlet
I would only use them for PvP. 28 Charges dont Last a chaosrun and repair costs are bad. Also in PvP a Necro for example casts 70 BoneSpirits and you must defend yourself which doesn't work without Enigma. Assassin is bit better because of DragonsFlight. And sorceress is free to wear Skin of the Viper Magi or
Ormus' Robes
or Jeweler's of the Whale etc.
