  1. I hate to throw a spanner in the works..... but.... (And I'm not really sure how to word this very well...) You're testing too many variables. Let's pretend that you know you have a 'lucky toon' and you believe you have a 'lucky server'. So you go and kill a specific boss - one that you know can drop blues, rares, sets and uniques, and you know they will never drop greys or whites. You still don't know what the range of a drop can be. Let's take a drop of: 1 unique, 1 set, 3 rares. 2 blues. Is that a lucky drop or an unlucky drop? On one hand, you got 5 potentially high calibre items out of 7. But on the other hand, you got 7 'hits' and up maybe 10 'miss' when it came to dropping *something* A second example. You know you have a lucky toon. You don't know if this server is lucky or not. You kill the same boss. You get 3 sets 9 rares 4 blues. That's a pretty good drop. You'd probably list it as lucky. But did you get the maximum lucky DROPROLL on an otherwise UNLUCKY server? Or did you get a reasonable roll on a lucky server with an unlucky toon? Or a bad roll on a lucky server with a lucky toon? The only way to test this, is to kill the same boss over and over and over again with the same toon on the same server, without resetting the map seed (or drop seed, or whatever other randomiser seeds Sacred uses.) This is coming from someone who read similar discussions on the single player forum for Diablo 2. (And tried some for himself) At least there, we could make constant the map seed, and the character, and the boss, and we could just test the map seed by running it 1000 times. Anyway, food for thought.
  2. That is *exactly* what I'm looking for. Thank you thank you thank you.
  3. But in Australia, jelly is gelatine crystals mixed with hot water (so they dissolve) then left to set in the fridge. Flavours are included, fruit (generally) is not. Unless you get creative when you set the jelly in the fridge
  4. So, dryad with the blowpipe, and shadow warrior can use the 2 hand hafter. So now other character gains innate bonuses for any other weapon choice? The reason I ask, is that I just can't choose which weapons to run with for each class! I noticed the inquisitor can not use bows, for example, so he must be offset somehow? And to Ryanrocker, indeed I do play on PC, and I appreciate the offer. However, I think my first light sabre needs to be self found. For purity reasons alone.
  5. As long as you don't put jelly with my peanut butter, I'm ok with the marmite/vegemite switch. They both taste foul anyways! For my peanut butter sandwiches, it's strawberry jam all the way!
  6. Hi guys. I apologize if you've answered these a thousand times. I have so many questions I have no idea how to begin. I guess I'll just start with a couple. 1. As I understand, the Shadow Warrior is the only char who can wield 2-handed shafted weapons. Is there a list of each character and their 'specialty' weapons? 2. How do I find a lightsabre, and is wielding it influenced by 'sword lore'?
  7. Thanks everyone To stubbie, no I've never played the HC servers. I mostly play single player - due to a reasonably poor internet service and not knowing enough to play online
  8. G'Day Mate! Apparently I registered here on Dark Matters back in 2008, but I've only just rediscovered this site when I was searching for a build guide. I live in Sydney, and I first bought Sacred when I'd started to wean myself off Diablo 2. (I could have started this post by saying. "Hi. My name is Bluebehir. I'm a Diablo addict. I haven't played Diablo in almost 12 months now.") I enjoyed many aspects of Sacred, but got frustrated by the frequency of bugs encountered in the main quest and the side quests. My main characters in Sacred were the Seraphim and the Dark Elf, although they didn't achieve much. I think, though, that my girlfriend enjoyed the game more than I did, although with the same frustrations. Between us, we bought two copies of the game when it first came out, and the gold edition, and the expansion - so four copies in all! I enjoyed the game enough that I purchased Sacred 2 on its release. After I had played a short while, I encouraged 2 of my friends to buy the game (it didn't take much effort) and we three networked some characters online. But they tired of their characters and thus the game, and soon after I tired of the single player experience, and also stopped playing. When Ice and Blood was released, I searched for a copy to purchase, but none were available. For a while I gave up looking for it. In the end, I purchased it online for my gf's birthday present and downloaded it. That was very recently. My best character is my Seraphim. She's only level 105, she's in niob. I also have a shadow warrior and a dryad that have levelled to about 40-50. I took my Seraphim into one of the new areas in Ice and Blood, in niob, and she was handed pieces of her anatomy on silver wing fragments. So I decided that this wasn't cool, and I decided to try an Inquisitor. I plan to have one reasonable build of each character. I doubt they'll ever get to 200 though. At level 12, the first main boss laughs at the self righteous but puny inquisitor, so I decided to see what help I could get online I've found an inquisitor build I think I'll try, and I'll probably report back on my progress/problems/confusion. My biggest problem with playing the game, I find, is building the courage to commit points to skills and attributes. I usually walk around completely skill free until I can't improve any further without them! Thanks for reading, and I look forward to learning as I look through the seemingly endless info available here.
