Difficulty of the game
Many people think that the higher the difficulty, the more likely it is to knock out the rarest rune or gold item. Can, in other game projects this is true, but not in Diablo 2. Here you can run away from the most evil boss on the highest difficulty for an hour, and in the end get a lot for him loot and some rune of average or ordinary rarity. Or do not knock out one at all. However, there are places where really dropping out runes depends on the difficulty of the game. For example, Hell Forge, which will be discussed below.
The fact is that the game already has a certainprobability of falling on each rune, depending on the rarity. Therefore, it is better to study the runes recipes in “Diablo 2”, to collect the most common ones and to get top artifacts by manipulating the Horardic Cube.
Search
There are a number of placeswhere more often A total of lovers to play on the network:
- Countess in numerous cellars. Uncomplicated mini-boss that is hard to find. It is usually guarded by mobs of monsters in the lower rooms of some tunnels or watchtowers, whose location often changes.
- Lower Kurast. It should more often look into the huts and open everything that is there. In special chests you can find rare runes.
- Secret level with cows. Here can drop any rune that exists in the game, and the probability of falling out is higher than that of many monsters of the project.
- Chests on the way to Andariel. A lot of boxes, even more enemies, often rune stones and items with already inserted artifacts and gems often pour out.
Hell's Forge
Is the second quest in the fourth act. On completion the hero gets a rune depending on the complexity of the game:
- under normal difficulty: from El to Amn;
- on a nightmare: Sol - Um;
- on higher difficulty: from Hel before Buzz.
Between each of the above runes there are11 stones. That is, the probability of each 1 out of 11 falling out. And what probability series is involved in the quest - it already depends on the chosen difficulty. To make it easier to navigate, you need to study the list of runes "Diablo 2".
Conclusion
Finally, it should be said that in such games, gathering plays a very important role, and this occupation is given almost more time than the main task - to kill of enemies.
And it is justified. You can successfully run the whole act, push all the monsters to quickly fight with the boss, but eventually die from one blow of the leader himself. So, many review their opinions after the first meeting with demoness Andariel. This is not some unique monster with golden or purple name, this is the boss - and she is strong.
Therefore, in order to pass the level further, a thorough preparation is required, which requires certain armor and weapons. After all it should be understood that after the leader willthe next act, where the enemies will be faster, more thirsty and harder to kill. It will be difficult for an unprepared player, especially if the character has not yet reached the required level to withstand the danger in such conditions.
Постепенный апгрейд предметов, крафт рун и Improved gems allow us to derive a formula for success: to dress the hero in shining golden armor. Only then can the character be able to compete with the endless stream of evil that falls on the player in every act and fight the boss.
But it should be understood that in the next acta set of armor will no longer be very relevant. After all, monsters are stronger, faster and more dangerous. Therefore, you should be wise to craft the runes in Diablo 2. Although they come across at every step, the most rare ones should be held for the final act - the battle with Baal and his minions. Do not inlay these artifacts any available armor or weapons. The choice of such should be considered wisely, so as not to have to get rid of the object in which the runes are already inserted (especially if they are already laid out in the word).
The best formula for success - be patient, do not hurry anywhere or exchange items with other players in the network mode. Good game!
