Taking your time, weighing the benefit and the risk only to throw caution to the wind for one last success.The risk sweetens the reward.

The way it was setup in mythos was quite similar, up to 5 enchants per item.
I'm glad this is how tl2 will be setup.

Thread reminds me of this Barbarian I used to play Diablo 2 with that complained tirelessly when Gheed only sold him Blue quality items. He would go on and on about how he's entitled to better.

Rofl, Omnicide. Actually, that's something Runic should have implemented... Enchanter screwed you over and stripped your shiny yellow of all its lovely stats? RAGE and kill the mofo. :twisted:

I just wish there was an easy fix for the enchant so it wouldn't wipe you out. I've tried some but they don't work!

I think I was using this since the first day it appeared. :)
And before that... Tabbing out, copying my save.
I could do that right, or am I thinking of Diablo
now, and wished, I could've done that... :?

You could transfer saves with diablo, both pc and the playstation port. THe port needed cards all to itself tho, since the save took up ten slots on a card lol

The Enchanter is unkillable because of a boolean variable. You only need to set it to "false":

<BOOL>INVINCIBLE:false

Whelp, I just lost about 16-20 rounds of successful enchants from World-Nodes due to the Vendor "Accidentally Removing" all of the Enchants. RNG is a expletive removed by a moderator.

Funny thing is, after it happened I totally downloaded it. I just shelled out like 130k gold in re-enchants to get it "somewhat" back up to par with what it used to be....but I got some pretty failboat modifications/enchants on it. My weapon was a total beast, but it's chumpers now.

Off-topic: You seem to be the man/lady who knows what's what. Is there a Mapmod out there that's like Superboss Mod for Diablo 2? (IE: Where there's nothing but named mobs out there that has an increased chance to dropping Purple/Orange weps?) I'm just curious because I've noticed that we get an infinitely better amount of Experience/Fame per-named mob kill as compared to the nameless chumps.

Zid does know what is up. Very true.
Perhaps what you are looking for is the champions mod.

Thanks broski. I just hope this is what I hope it is. Super Boss Mod replaced existing NORMAL mobs with Named Mobs and the frequency in which you came across the Named Mobs were higher than Normal Mobs. :-D

I don't know that it creates that kind of balance, but you can change that yourself in the mod files.

Before I comment, please understand that I am fairly well-known around here for enchanting stuff to fairly insane levels.

Why did you keep enchanting if you were not OK with the known, displayed, 33-40+% risk of a disenchant on that object? I rarely take anything beyond 15%, because the cumulative change of losing the special features tha make an item worth building up to spectacular really begins to get out of hand beyond about 12% risk. And I NEVER use the doubled-risk and reduced reward of the Town Enchanter on valued items. However, when I do take an item to 20% or 25% risk, I accept that the rules of the game are that I might lose the item. So be it.

To be honest with ya, I didn't even know it HAD the chance to be wiped clean at all, I thought it just had a chance to not even work.

Runic, what the fuck is wrong with you? You put a horse in the game and YOU DON'T EVEN LET ME RIDE IT!? You are horrible and should all be fired out of some kind of horse-cannon, like, a cannon designed to fire horses except YOU'RE the horses and the firing will be done to YOU.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

@OP: Dude, I couldn't seriously even try to get angry over a video game, I don't know how you managed to rage so convincingly. There's no way you could seriously be that angry over enchanting, no one smart enough to have attended college could possibly be retarded enough to get that angry over something like this (unless it's clown college...).

You've held an excellent performance here, well played, good sir!
