Also 5L may take a lot of currency but probably worth it. Dont know which league you are in but in HC good 5L's are going for 6+exalts and if you get to 5L it would definitely be upwards of 8+exalts i think especially if you rolled armor or evasion edit:you definitely have to exalt it now since you got a 5L !
hah yeah did the exalt. flat evasion bonus...62 evasion : ( on the other hand, its almost the lowest roll of the corresponding affix, so i could divine it to well above 100 at least. life is also lowest, but armor and evasion % is highish and the resis average. might be worth a shot

All the mods are good but as you said some of the rolls are low.. so.. its hard to say.. If you divine it enough you will surely end up with something good.. but it might be costly.. what ilvl is it anyway?

Everyone in the group was lvl 61-66. I thought that sounded a little risky, so I asked if any of them have done it before.... and a couple said yes. Anyways. We get there.... start the fight..... lose two people within 1 minute of it starting. I only barely escaped the rocks fallling on my as I TP out.... must have been under 10%. Used granites, but still that fight is SCARY. VAAL IS DANGEROUS. Stories of HC. After that the PUG fell apart  Back to farming monkeys.
I like these stories :^)
I farmed hc merciless fellshrine on my ranger to about 67.5 then hit 68 as we were moving towards Vaal. Ofc since this was my first high level char since very early closed beta, I had not planned my spec much further than first 35ish points so my stats were about 3.8k hp, 22% evasion, 1200dps poison arrow, which since I only have 82ish %hit I can't sustain and run oom, and 650ish dps split arrow which I mostly used since it seems to always hit. (surprisingly the stats were worse before I did all the respec point quest and spent all my orb of regrets, but I tried to salvage the little I had. And since I had not specced into the mana talent I did not get a free respec the patch that fixed that)
Our group was me, 2 irl buddies that was 70 and 61 and 3 randoms that were 68-72.
Right after pulling a random rock fell into my head for almost 2k damage as I screamed on skype in panic. Things looked pretty grim, then a 70 witch whom I assume was CI specced got hit by the frost goo followed by 3x laser hits and died. After about 40 sec we were only 5 and had done a total of 5% of the health. Then the 72 marauder took the big hammer hit and miraculously survived with so little hp that it didn't look like he had anything left. He proceeded to alt+f4. And so did the rest of us.
Then we found some nice 84 guy, payed him 20 jeweler orbs each and he solo killed him for us
Now my ranger is safely retired in docks at 70 :^)

So anybody get far in the race? I got one shot by a merveil daughter (FP IMBA!) and then died again to a bunch of torches and gave up

found my first 5 link chest armour. i made its quality to 20% and made it magic. now i rerolled the magic stats to +72 life and +34% fire res. should i regal it now? it's item level 53. idk... i don't have many regal orbs so i'd rather have the right affix/suffix ^^

You do realize you're gonna have to exalt it after that right? If you're poor you're far better off scouring it and just alching/chaosing it until you get a few good rolls (this is marginally cheaper than just regaling it now, but then you're limited to three mods with the benefit of already having life/resist); you've put yourself into a very strange position. It is such a low item level that I wouldn't invest much currency into it. It will never be good end game unless you hit the jackpot and roll every good mod possible (and even if you did it'd be better if you did that with an ilvl73+ piece).
Basically you can regal it now and get one random affix and be guaranteed life/fire resist (decent rolls on them too) and be stuck with these three mods for the life of the piece. It really isn't worth exalting an ilvl 53 piece. Since you've already invested all the alterations I think this option may be more effective unless you're feeling really lucky with alch/chaos.
Alternately you can alch it (you have to scour it first). This will get you four random mods at least (with some luck five or six) although all of these could be bad. This is also cheaper than regaling it, although if you want/need to invest some chaos into it after that it will be more expensive.

Hmm didnt know Regal just adds one mod. And i'm not trading at all so far (aside with the few people i know) so i'm probably not going to see another 5 link for a while... now that you say it i'm still not sure, because gettting high Life and Res on an Alch is pretty hard already.

The advantage to alching/chaosing is that when you roll thorns with your regal you can chaos it. When you do this you lose the life and resist anyways. You can chaos it after you regal anyways, but an alch+scouring is cheaper than a regal (not by much though) which is why I think regaling it now is better since you've already invested all the alterations.
Typically it is better to just alch it since you probably spent a chaos worth of alterations getting those mods if not more.

What i thought, yeah. I've had pretty bad luck at Alching and Chaosing, so i'm pretty sure i'm better off Regaling. Thanks for the info.
I think i used like 5-6 Alterations (i've got tons of them ^^ like 200 while only having 2 Regal.. even got 3 GCP, Regal just won't drop).

That isn't bad. You can buy fusing orbs from the vendor so that is quite a lot of currency (8alterations=1Fusing; 48 alterations=1GCP).

Hehe, yeah i guess it's cool that i've picked up tons of blue items and identified everything i could... just need to play more at high lvl, my highest is lvl 69 (playing only with a friend) and my solo char is lvl 56 soon. My Fire marauder (for fun, the starting zone theree offers lots of health so i think it's pretty good for any char) is pretty fun i've to say, although my summoner feels a lot more safe, pretty awesome with Flame Sentinels...
Also, curses are so powerful... i couldn't live without them I encourage everyone to use at least one.

So I just got this hammer dropped in Hardcore:

Anybody has a clue what it's worth? Links are bullshit btw. 
Itemlevel is only 62 btw.

probably not too much because its a mace and mace users cant cleave which is the only melee build that uses ele dmg as its focus. I would guess a couple chaos toward 4gcp or so.. hopefully im wrong and it sells for more :D it does have really nice phy dmg and the aps is good too.. maybe good for ground slammer
edit: im leaning towards an exalt now on a 2nd look. could go for more just because of the 30ele roll
|
It shouldn't be worth much to a ground slam user because if you were dropping exalts you'd be buying that unique two hander that has 500+ top end damage. I'm not sure there are builds that use one handed maces. It has some pretty sick damage though so I'd suggest posting it on the forums and see if you get any bites.
The popular melee build right now is ele cleave which cannot use maces

I was a bit bored today, here are the absolute minimum levels at which you get decent xp out of a zone, percentages of max xp in brackets. Might be interesting for some people that enjoy minmaxing.
Normal:
Ledge: 4
Coves: 10
Forest: 12
Fellshrine: 14 (92%)
Western: 16 (93%)
City of Sarn: 21 (94%)
Warehouses: 26
Docks: 27 (95%)
Cruel:
Twilight Strand: 28 (95%)
Ledge: 30 (96%)
Forest: 34 (96%)
Fellshrine: 36 (96%)
Western Forest: 40 (97%)
City of Sarn: 41 (97%)
Docks: 44 (97%, 85% at 43)
Merciless:
Twilight Strand: 46 (97%, 85% at 45)
Ledge: 47 (97%, 85% at 46)
Fellshrine: 51 (97%, 86% at 50)
City of Sarn: 54 (97%, 87% at 53)
Docks: 55 (98%, 87% at 54)

What is a 14% bear trap worth? anything higher than the standard 1GCP per 5%? Since it's bear trap? I don't even know if quality is good on bear trap or not.

Quality is above average on bear trap. I'd imagine you can get at least 4 GCP for it if not a couple more.

mapgame is the most frustating thing by far in this game. spending tons of currency and valuable maps to get NOTHING in return most of the time is close to making me quit.
im mostly soloing maps for 2 weeks now and ive just started to scrath 70s. oh how fun it is when you spend like 2-3 gcp in orbs/chisels on 3 maps (that again are like 1gcp worth each) and get 2 67maps + a handful of crappy rares (70%/20% map? 3 rares 2 of them lvl 50 base..) out of em.
add that desyncs severly hurt leveling speed and i often play 3 hours to have way less then what i started with.

Solo mapping just isn't worth it, you really need to get a core group going
