Is this jewel bugged? +13Max/Level9?

[Stevebo]

While LLDing last night a level 9 barb said he had a +13Max jewel in his equipment, I did nt believe him as I thought the max was 9.
He showed me his armor (Sigons socketed) and sure enough in the stats it said +13 Maximum Damage, and the level requirement for the whole thing was level 9 :S
This was on europe ladder.

Any ideas on how it came about?

I can't believe he put it in a sigons....

Did he beat your azz?

It's not bugged, just very rare. The "Carbuncle Jewels of Wrath" can get upwards of +14 max damage, with just a level 9 requirement.

I have a +12 req 9 although I'm almost afraid to use it:wink3:
Putting a +13 in sigon armour is such a waste, though:cry:

Well then, just wondering what you would "save" these jewels for? They seem to me to be a bit helpful for your low level "up-and-commers", but not much use later in your characters life? What am I missing?

People would use them for low level dueling. This can include people who use them for low level characters that PK high level characters.

u put them in an ancient armor wich has 3/4 sockets and about 4x life

[Flip10thMtn]

cool!

Never been a dueler so guess that's what I missed.

Thanks all!

if u ever find those jewels, be sure to look for some lld sites, google for 101lld and sell them there, i sold about 21 jewels for anything ranging from soj's to eni's , non ladder ofcourse

When it comes to expensive items,pvp is the reason usually.

20ed -15% req in ancient armour is imo the pinacle of lvl 9 lld - especially if you want to make a kicker. Otherwise you'll want +9-14max in everything except maybe your shield, deaths sash, either death hand or bloodfists. Main use is lld though regular +9s are nice for lvling.
