Description

I'm about to raise Wonkie-Tonkie from a cantankerous teen into a dual Grief graverobber, and I would like your thoughts on the options for swap weapons:

I read several things:

HOTO,
Suicide Branch
, Wizzy, Ali Baba's... A combination!?

6 isted blades also is mentioned.

Thoughts and experiences most welcome.

Can be used to make Runewords:

I settled on Dual-Alibaba (at least until I found all rings and amulets) and added some fcr via rings and
Belt
, compromising the
Boots
for Cannot Be Frozen (Had
Cham
in the helmet, but replaced it with Protector, so had to find some other means).

I will not take offers that bypass diablo2.io

Nice, what are you putting in the dual alibabas? Ists? I have two sitting in stash myself and I've been daydreaming about making a horker

Sort of depends on your preference and "acceptance for slow-ness".

6-
Ist
tends to be the highest MF choice.
6-
Lem
the same for GF.
Ali baba the best middle-Ground with some "pick your priority" via
Lem
or
Ist
in the sockets.

FCR options really don't help you much with "results" (MF/GF) but make your horking faster, lowering your run time.

Exception:
Depending on your level otherwise, some of them (suicide/hoto/..) might push your
Find Item
high enough to increase the percentage. That'd then have to be math'd against more MF and such. :)

Other than that though, any speed-horker would likely be Enigma-based and have some decent degree of FCR/faster horking built in because of that anyways. Assuming you're not offloading all of that onto the weapon (and hence losing it on swap), I'd personally go for MF or GF (or both tbh..big fan of dual isted baba for nearly as much MF while keeping solid GF) over even more FCR as the difference in speed tends to not be that impactful anymore.

Side note:
Haven't actually tested this myself yet but assuming the "only 1" limit for the new jewels applies to each specific jewel individually, you could actually use a number of those to get up to 35 MF plus simultaneous GF out of each socket, rather than only 30 off an
Ist
. Say 1 in your actual build for performance reasons. Still leaves you with 5 more for your swap weapons (with only 4 needed if you stick with baba).

I pondered a while with
Ist
vs
Lem
, and settled there is no right or wrong, it depends on how much you like to gamble. Even with full Ists at times I let
Gold
on the Ground because I don't want to gamble right now... And some additional FCR to the Enigma helps the flow of teleporting and horking in my experience, while compromising only little kill speed if at all.

Hah, that's something I'll give a shot.

TRAV's drop is not good enough.

I recommend you use 6 socket
Lem
x 2.

if tz, you can swap it to ali baba or 6
Ist
.
Keep it between 150-200 is best rate..
I kind of remember it can drop Stone of jodan, light absorb ring, wedding ring but no griffon.

rune pg is not affect by mf.

unless there is new things can find in rotw.

Please be aware, all my trade is in non ladder d2r. Not warlock.

It's jewelery heavy yeah, no griffons to be had. I'd "farm" those via TZ Bossruns anyways... Trav drops jewelery consistently. And charms. Lots and lots of charms.

Treasure class: 78

good thing usually tc 85., like warlock's new book is 85

charms-> mf not affect drop
jewel->your mf can make it become rare or facet but not increase drop rate.

Blue jewel usually have higher chance to become something worth. Rare jewel have too big pool to roll, cant be good.

trav can drop blue/yellow thing, those I believe it can show some valuable thing.

4 socket magic shield/armor

if you have too high mf, it will just drop
Guardian Angel
or some unique.

soj, yes, you can find it.

Double Isted dual Ali Baba. Or dual +3 warcry spears if you want more hork chance (but less MF)

All trades are negotiable within reason :)

I have found at least 2
Griffon's Eye
in TZ Trav. Regular Trav maybe can't drop it but I usually hork TZ. It's not super common to find sick uniques in Trav, but it definitely happens.

I am running a ww barb that I use for horking and I've been loving the dual ali baba with ists in them. Really gives you a ton of magic find on only two items. I am sure there are better combinations but I have been enjoying that one and it is fairly cheap all things considered.

I also do mf in tz trav too.
I have 2 different setup.

For regular trav, I do
Gold
and target blue/rare. Because there are better place to find soj.
TZ trav,
Ist
it up. but still only between 250-400 mf.

Curiosity wouldn't let me rest so went ahead and actually tested this:
The limit does indeed apply across all jewels. So no combining different ones. Neither in the same item nor across different items equipped at the same time.

So yeah,
Ist
remains the best bet I guess.

I couldn't be arsed to respec for pure horker - had Grief and Lawbringer with
Heart Carver
for the skill and
Blade Of Ali Baba
on swap.
Larzuk
the
Heart Carver
,
Ist
runes in that and Ali.

I was using a triple
Perfect Topaz
Helm
for a bit as I had no more
Ist
and needed the mf. Mf small charms a plenty too.
basically, you should just choose what you have and feels good to play.

rotw mf is not that important compare to it was in LoD for multiple reasons. You can get mf product easily with
Perfect Gems
.

So whatever you feel comfortable is the best for you.

Look at mf table, if you get 1 more corpse , means you get totally 200 points better than add small mf by lower performance.
small mf, 100 more, let's say. is only map to 20 point real thing.

best loot soj in my opinion is old andriel which you still can. convert to mf, I guess it is 700mf or more, I dont know .

I think regular trav, you just get best battle suit with exact number + small mf gf. Focus on hunting
Perfect Gems
.
Other mf things, not so good compare to performance.
