Oh I read fine thank you, I was referring to this

"Now i'm getting on my favorite hobby horse.   Get the green sets to be more plentiful. the one missing piece of a set realy buggs me as a collector"

Green = set item color

You can create sets by using gems.

I was suggestig to not make them more plentiful as it would destroy game balance (unless they were weakened which I don't want to see happen) but instead as an alternative to more frequent set drops that the amount of gems needed to create a set item (random set item of that item type) be reduced from either 15 gems of a specific type down to 8 or 10 gems of a specific type OR keep it at 15 p. gems but let it be any type of gem needed.

1. I play Sp with bags of P gems & Pages of doll.

But I won't waste my time trying to get certain green set items.

The probably of getting the item you want is way to low.
Besides it is so borring.
More fun to find them while playing.

2. I sent my new quest blurb to CE. Where is yours?  :s513:

Waiting to see if it was going to become an official contest first then see what the ground rules where and then what prizes might have been (i think the set items after your account would have been cool).  If it doesnt become a contest tho...  It will take me a bit mainly cause I have exams right now and school comes first.

@ bdpf, actually the chance of getting what you want is somewhat big, if you just cook a torch and eat it before you play around :D
or equip yourself with % gold from monsters, thats what counts when your gamling and morphing items as far as i know.
% to get magical items is only for drops.

:wece: :don:

@Darkkatgirl: Unless recipes changes, the requirement to make set items is rare jewels and a doll.  PGems is to make a Unique.

Rare jewels are *rare*, but if you use the "rare charm + magic jewel makes a rare jewel" cube recipe then you can have a large enough supply of rare jewels to make particularly shy set parts.  Be warned that you can't pick which set the item will be from, so making set rings or set ammys is not likely to get you a Diva ring or ammy.  Those need to be found or gambled.

New ladders are fun.

If I rememember correctly Magic find doesn't improve your chances when gambling....
And still borring.

@Darkkatgirl
Thought about quest blurb for a couple hours, was doing other things, set up grand daughters computer,,, Then spent 15 minutes poking.
If you so busy with finals... Ah you should be studing or resting after a little exercise.  You on line now, so study.

Good luck with your Finals.

PS; @Getfuzzy torch gives me hart burn.

@bdpf You're correct: MF doesn't affect gambling, only your level does.  Some items change the prices of items gambled, but do not affect what item you get.

@darkkatgirl: Second vote!  Good luck with Finals! (mine come in about 30 years, I hope I pass!)

About the "quests story" contest:  Am I the only one who sees the cows in the Rogues Camp and thinks "The Spies for The Cow King!"

Torches give me heart burn, hart burn comes from starting forest fires. :)

@ webwalker i beg to differ about the gambling, it might just be pure luck that i get ALOT more uniques and set items after eating a yummy tasty torch for breakfast. Or it might not. Just pondering, where does it state what it req to gamle ? I cant seem to find it anywhere at the moment.

@ bdpf: torch gives me hart burn.

Torches give me heart burn, hart burn comes from starting forest fires.
Forrest fires comes from smoking too much to bother where you put your cigaret butt.

torch -> more uniqs / sets at gambling = pure luck
Nothing improves or decreases the chance of getting uniq/set/rare at gambling. (Therefor it is called gambling... and u can't cheat ;) )

ilvl of gambled items is +4/-5 of ur charlvl (or the other way round +5/-4, not sure about that at the moment)
As far as i know is the lvlreq of an item the lowest ilvl needed to get this item in ce. The lvlreq could be looked up in 'item list'!
Example:
SoJ has lvlreq 29, so ilvl must be 29+
U can gamble soj's from clvl 25 (24) on forward or find it from monsters that have lvl 29+ (and have the tc to drop the item).

[Darkkatgirl]

Not entirely true about the level needed for gambling, I have gotten Tal Rasha's Amulet (level 67?) at level 21 many of times.

[ZenPdH]

There are some(?) items which have another ilvl (think bartucs have an own one too).

Tals (complete) set has an ilvl of 26 in lod... I think he didn't changed it.
But u can't use it with lvl 26, so it is more or less useless to gamble for it at that (low-)lvl, except that the chance of getting it later, with a higher clvl is lesser, because then u can gamlbe more items...
