double quest items

[phaolo]

I didn't complete the hellforge quest in nightmare, so I brought the soulstone with me till hell difficulty. Now, after kiling Mephisto, I ended up with 2 soulstones, one with red name and the other with normal gold name. I can't take both. Why can't I use the first one? Besides, this item is missing the difficulty parameter in ATMA (like some other) :scratch:

it's my understanding, that it's like attempting to use a hell wirt's leg to make nm cows.

it just won't work. And I never take a soul stone with me. If/when I'm ready to do the quest, just talk to cain in act 4, he'll give you a stone every time if you don't already have one, and/or if you haven't done the forge quest in that difficulty.

Drop them both on ground.
Every time you go to ACT IV Cain, he will give you one, till you complete the quest.

[phaolo]

Thanks, I'll do that.

About ATMA the missing paramenter is strange. I stored all found valuable\rare\unique items in ATMA stash. Those under "Quest" folder don't have a difficulty parameter, so I thought they could be used with no problem.. too bad I didn't save the higher difficulty copies (well, at least for completeness)

Ones from later difficulties should work as well... just not earlier ones.

Really annoying the way cain keeps on throwing them at you in classic

Try getting cain to ID stuff when your inv is full from CS'ing.
The sole reason I ever do the forge quest is so cain stops complaining about that smelly stone.

what causes cain to complain so much in act3?

when i rush people and need him to id items he always has something to tell me

[WarlockCC]

Old people will allways have stories to tell.

To avoid cain's long-winded tales of being soul-stoned, I usually do just that, go to act 3 and ID stuff there. After all the quests have been done he doesn't have much to tell in act 3.
Best just let your rushee talk to cain while you are finding and/or killing things.
