I was also curious if this ATMA readout is accurate. In-game it just says faster/fastest..

Valkyrie Wing
Winged Helm
Defense: 126
Durability: 34 of 40
Required Strength: 115
Required Level: 44
Item Version: Expansion
Item Level: 76
Fingerprint: 0x410da1f4
+35 Defense
30% Increased Attack Speed
30% Faster Run/Walk
30% Faster Hit Recovery
30% Faster Cast Rate

I don't know of any other helms with 30% fcr or 30% ias. Maybe useful?

IIRC it's correct, and the reason why it's so sought after. A (cheesy) way to check would be to intentionally dupe it, bring forth the dupe, then delete it.

30% IAS, & 30% FCR. BOTH Casters and melee fighters would want it!
AND the icing on the cake is 30% FRW, & 30% FHR.
Who wouldn't want it?

Blizzard and very good reason to nerf it in v1.09...

I haven't read anything about this, but I have just gone back to NM meph runs and I seem to have passed a RARE item breakpoint. He has dropped 100% rares only so far on about 10 runs. NO sets, NO uniques. MF atm is 303%, we'll see if this keeps up..

Edit: Well, I did ~20 runs, and he dropped zero white/grey/blue/green items. It seems to be past some sort of breakpoint. He did drop 3 uniques, along with the 100+ rares.

Add a few MF charms and you're there

...Total MF: 550% (I'm going to cry now) :cry:

@Apis: What wagnala said (charms can get up to 4%MF regardless of size) and congratz on the IST and Valk wing - both great items. Re bringing the ist forward, I'd think twice before doing so, as once its forward you can't bring it backward. You may want to use it in say a Gull dagger if you ever find one.

I did know about the rare breakpoint, but I'm not sure I've ever posted about it due to the fact that most people (myself included) would much rather have sets from NM bosses for the chance of a set amulet. IIRC the best chances of getting a set from NM bosses are at ~125-130%MF. Any more than that and your chance to get sets drops as the chance for rares increase.

Re the ring cubing, its all based on chance. You may find three in 80 tries or none in 200. Your chance per individual attempt is 1:125. I quite like cathans as twinking jewelery - the +str and lifeleach are great for a starting melee character, added resists would just be gravy.

Hell bosses (i know mephy does) Start dropping uniques only from about 549%mf. Well, in my experience.

By my calculations, Hell bosses have about a 70% chance to drop unique with 549%MF.

@apis: .07 valk wign is an awsome helm, very useful, congratz. Did you rack it or where did you find it? :wink3:

@helvete: ok thx :smiley: So if you find a nice base weapon that's really hard to come by, you can just reroll the same one to infinity?

Yeah, just make sure to stop when you get something good.:hide:
