Huge Repair Debts Tourney

**EasyG** · 13-07-2012, 09:56

I checked my stashes and to my big suprise, I actually do have an awesome candidate. The item has 3x durability, staffmods, +skills and a huge amount of charges. Only the amount of staffmods is bit disappointing, also it is a normal grade weapon :sadface:. I could spend some runes upgrading it, haha. Would it lose triple dura?
Tonight I will try to break the durability and see how high my repairbill gets with and without using the charges:

Have fun whacking things with that orb! It does look like a reasonable candidate except for the fact that is of normal type, not exceptional or elite. Triple durability rates are definitely a consideration. I think having several high-tier +3 staffmods is also a recipe for huge bills. And some item types have higher durability: caduceus at 70, battle cestus at 72, dimensional shard at 50, shillelagh at 40 and all wands are 22 or less. For staffmod armor, the leading candidate for high durability is guardian crown at 55, pelts and heads seem to be all 20. I'll have to look to see if I have any triple durability battle cestuses at some point...

I think you are spot-on about how big rune words in superior bases are going to lead the pack by a lot. In light of that, I suggest splitting the tables into rune word and non-runeword categories as well.

nevermind.

I should split these tables up into categories, but for now I am adding the expense of a full repair on the Beast caduceus with all charges used up, for a total of just a little more than 2 million. I think without the charges being used up it should be pretty good in just the durability category alone. Since I've been using the Ort recipe to repair, I've been using the charges also since that's just a chippie more.

well it was to much work to break all the durability with the attackspeed and accuracy of a sorc, but if it is ok then I could calculate the cost. It costed 328 gold for each durability and 2669 gold for each charge. It seems it is necesary for the weapon to be elite to have any serious repair cost.
calculated this is:
-circa 34440 adena without charges
-circa 154545 adena with charges

Even if it would be ok for me to enter the tournie without actually breaking the weapon, estimating the cost, your crafted caduceus would still win the non-runeword, without charges section.

maybe I will upgrade the orb to exceptional and equip my sorc with some fighterequipment to do a serious attempt later and do break the durability.

with upgrading your item loses its triple durability mod

arreat summit didnt mention anything of this about it :((

Code:

Havoc Heart
Cloudy Sphere
One Hand Damage: 11 - 29
Durability: 35 of 35
Required Level: 57
Fingerprint: 0x5a9365d3
Item Level: 85
Version: Expansion 1.10+
+2 to Sorceress Skill Levels
+20% Faster Cast Rate
Adds 16 - 66 Cold Damage Over 3 Secs (75 Frames)
+1 to Chilling Armor (Sorceress Only)
+2 to Blizzard (Sorceress Only)
+18 to Life
Replenish Life +4
Lightning Resist +23%
Level 4 Blizzard (45/45 Charges)
Required Level +5

also my orb is losing its function as twink weapon with the +5 level requirement

**EasyG** · 13-07-2012, 19:40

looks like I might get the caduceus with the rare exceptional orb. Im not going to upgrade to elite

. I think with an elite class specific triple durability it should be possible to get like 500k

Well done, great efforts in the rare category!

I had no idea about the durability change for the upgrade recipe, that is too bad in this case. I wonder for ethereals what happens and if it could be at all useful...

after repair it had 33/35 durability and the same charges as before repair, so it seems it gets a random amount of durability, just like when dropped. So it might be usuefull with ethereal items.

You broke 2 million with that caduceus of yours purplelocust, very nice! That is a good start EasyG and now i need to dig around and see what good rares i can post later on.
