Hi. I don't understand this logic -
In ChaosEmpire, everything is socketable, rings, Javalins etc.. except Arrows! Why? If you're able to socket your rings and amulet, surely socketing arrows would not make a bow-a-zon over powered. They already come in rares, so you could throw a runeword into some arrows and it would be cool. Just my 2 cents, maybe this could be fixed in the next update?
-
to powerfull, think of wisper in 450ed/ias arrows, to trong. and maybe i isnt possible, btw not everythign is socketable, shoes and gloves arent sockestable
-
is 450 ed on arrows possible? Or where is the cap?
-
i've seen arrows with 400%ed+, so i think the max. is the same as the max "normal" rare items. if it would be possible to socket rws in arrows, it would be definitely overpowered. example:
rare bow with 400+% ed with rw AND 400+% ed arrow with rw, way too much damage.
kind regards blueman

Rune Words in Arrows would be extremely powerful. Think "Blood", "Venom", "Melody", or "Patter" in addition to the arrow's base mods, plus the bow base mods and rune word.
A single socket would still be powerful (having the same effect as a third ring) but not as severe. Would a single socket on arrows seem "overpowering" as multi-socketed arrows would be?
I'd think the mod should be tweaked: the *quiver* should have the mods, not the arrows thenselves, so any arrows you pick up to re-load that quiver (by clicking on the "spare" quiver while it's on the ground) get the equipped quiver's mods, so you'd pick up quivers by mouse and identify them to see if you want to change quivers.
I'd be happy if we could *gamble* arrows, but...

I'm running 4.50 ver SP and I have used some charactors for D2 LOD mod with some fancy socketed quivars & bows to match the helm & armor, Stone Gaurd. They still take alot of hits to make heavy kills. Bosses take 5 to 10 minuts to kill.
The mod seems to modify the hit points up for heavy hiters. (:-:).
Gloves & boots not socketable!@#$^%(*&^&)(+****
Or my copy of 4.50 ver buged.

Umm if you look at it in real life terms, one can use one gem to fill up one socket on a real bow. But in order for the gem attributes to be imparted to the arrows/bolts etc. each arrow woould need to be a socketed arrow and each would require a gem. Not to mention what adding gems to a projectile like an arrow or a bolt will do to its flight characterisitics.
Plus if you say, we wil socket the quiver the quiver is having the attributes of the gems and not the arrows.
I feel the scheme is fine as it is. :P
-
but if u say the quiver is magic and enchants the arrows with its own abilities?
-
this is my opinion and other people to...
Ideas for socketing in later versions
Arrows - socketable but runes gems have less effect on them - can be gamble
boots n gloves - socktebal runes gems have normal effect on them
-
when boots and glvoes would be socketable the game would be too easy, then the resistancen should be reduced and monster should get more hp

Do you remember the *oops* weapons & armor for othe Mods??
The bow & Arrows were socketed, and very nasty,,,, Ha Ha
I use the same with some old hard hitters in SP to exploer.
I even think Old Whites stuff will work in SP to exploer with
*oops*
DO NOT USE ON THE THE NET, IT WOULD NOT BE FAIR,,,,,,
CE would not like or others too!!!
But these Old hard hitters are a nice way to find stuff to put in group stash

I would regard this as cheating. Chaos will not like this even in sp
