Here are some items that I ignore while farming as I believe they can have no relevant value.
I want to confirm if I'm right about them
OBS: softcore, non-ladder
1 - normal/socket helms (bases with 2-sockets): no relevant runeword.
2 - magic/rare helms, except
Circlets,
druid Pelts and
Barbarian Helms
3 - rare/magic staves: even if you find a godly combination that would eventually be better than Heart of the Oak + Spirit shield, you can have a similiar (or a litle worse) rare/magic orb and combine it with a Spirit shield...
4 - normal/socket staff (bases with 4- Sockets): no relevant runeword
(5/6 sockets on the other hand can be used for Call To Arms, Obsession or Breath of the Dying - if ethereal)
5 - normal/socket orbs: no relevant runeword
6 - normal/socket claws (bases with 2- Sockets): no relevant runeword
(3 socket caws, you can make a Plague, for up to +5 to some skill or for bladessin)
7 - normal/socket scepters (bases with 3- socktes): no relevant runeword.
8 - magic weapons in general, except
Amazon javelins (can roll up to 6 java sk) and
Orbs/wands/claws/Scepters (can roll with up +6 to some skill)
9 - rare melee or throwing weapons, except
ethereal and
Orbs/wands/claws/Scepters (can roll with up +5 to some skill)
10 - magic shields (bases with 3- sockets), except
Shrunken Heads (can roll with up +6 to some skill)
11 - rare shields, except
Shrunken Heads (can roll with up +5 to some skill)
12 - normal/magic boots: rares are stritly better
13 - normal/magic belts: rares are stritly better
