Question for Classic Gurus: What patch did I roll THIS in?!der=0>

[WoRG]

So I finally got the gumption to change a damaged controller chip on an old hard drive I've had for awhile, and was able to rescue some classic mules from years ago...and there, among the various goodies, was an item I KNEW I remembered having!!

Corruption Wing
Amulet
Required Level: 27
Item Version: Classic
Item Level: 99
Fingerprint: 0x16fb761f
+10 to Dexterity
+31 to Life
+30 to Attack Rating
+3 to Necromancer Skill Levels
+3 to Light Radius

I know this was from the 6pskull cube formula, but what patch was it rolled in? I presume it is a result of stacking the +1 and +2 Necro skills prefixes...as I also have this ammy that shows that +skills prefixes were not mutually exclusive:

Grim Heart
Amulet
Required Level: 22
Item Version: Classic
Item Level: 99
Fingerprint: 0x18a32aa0
+19 to Dexterity
+1 to Mana
+1 to Necromancer Skill Levels
+1 to Amazon Skill Levels
+3 to Light Radius

Anyway, what patch(es) is this possible in, and how common is it?

Wow, that's quite an amulet, and the required level is just 27.

I'm not totally clear on the various patches, but a first guess is that it was from the time when you could get multiple class +skills on the same amulet. I remember +2 barb/+2 amaz ones similar to the second one you list, but I don't remember ever seeing a +3 to class skills either in SP or online. Your conjecture about stacking +1 and +2 seems like the best possibility to me. In any case, it seems quite rare to me!

[WoRG]

Well, the low rlvl is just ATMA's weirdness with classic/early prefixes...the actual rlvl ingame is 67, as you would expect on a +2 skills ammy...

I think this was VERY rare, as I really haven't heard of any others, but I can't help but dream of one with +3 Sorc!! I'm kinda hoping this might spur some memories of other such ammys on the part of the old-timers...

I'm not going to contribute much, but I think I've read about those amulets being possible in early classic..

I remember finding +1 to barb/sorc ammys from time to time, not sure if it was pre lod or 1.07

[Kitriara]

I absolutely remember getting amulets with multiple class +skills, but I couldn't tell you the exact patch. That said, I've NEVER seen a +3 skills rolled. That thing is a serious rarity. Hell, it may be the only legit one in existence right now for all we know.

Nah, I have like loads in a drawer somewhere...

I don't know why but I'm thinking 1.00 or 1.06... I know that I saw something like that somewhere and I've only read stuff about those two classic versions.

Sherlock mode: They also have dex and light radius in comum... hmmm

Onvious answer to your question: You haxxed them



Just kidding of course Guess I have to play some classic again! ... after reaching lvl 60 in HC with every D3 class and after completing my 13 tourney characters in D2...

1.08 patch notes:
+2 to all skills affixes can now spawn on rare amulets.

1.09 patch notes:
Restricted some affixes from generating on certain item types.

So, My guess is that in 1.09 they restricted generating 2 affixes from the same group and your amulet is from 1.08
