Yep!

Platinum is probably the biggest bonus :))

I decided to share this one! When using Sacred item editor you can add green and platinum sockets to your items, this is really interesting :))

[Completely different way of playing Sacred (probably strangest thing you ever imagined)]

I forgot to add example for items.. Here is my items from Gladiator: 
 

Items: 
"Leather Helmet" ( 9 / 10 ) = 1 armor ( 1 + 9 fire magic physical poison resistance)

"Leg Plates" ( 3 / 10 ) = 1 armor +3 resistances)

"Plate Armor" ( 10 / 10 ) = 1( +10 resistances ) 

" Andiell Shoulder Guards" ( 6 / 10 ) = 1 armor ( + 6 resistance )

"Gloves" ( 2 / 10 ) = 1 armor (+ 2 resistance)
Gold effect: +5% chance to gain gold by hiting an opomment
Gold effect: +5 crit chance
White effect: +25% physical damage

"Boots" ( 1 / 10 ) = 1 armor ( 1 + 1 fire magic etc resistances)
Blue effect: +30 speed 

"Ring" ( 8 / 10 ) = 0 ( +8) damage

"Arm Bracers" ( 5 / 10 ) = 1 armor ( +5 resistances)
White effect: +25% physical damage

"Dancing ring of death" ( 8 / 10 ) = +8 damage

"Belt" ( 2 / 10 ) = 1 ( +2 resistances)  

"Amulet" ( 25 / 25 ) = 0(+ 25 damage)

Weapon: "unarmed fist" ( 39 / 50 ) = 1( +39) damage

White effect: +50% physical damage
Blue effect: +10 attack speed
Gold effect: +20 crit chance
Gold effect: +6 find additional potions
Gold effect: +5% chance to gain gold by hiting an oppoment

Values: For every +1 damage you need to pay 5000 gold, at start. 10 "upgrades" cost 5000 gold, then from 10 to 25 you need to pay 10 000 gold for +1 damage, then from 25 to 50 you need to pay 20 000 gold and so on and so on... 

 

 

[Completely different way of playing Sacred (probably strangest thing you ever imagined)]

Hello Sacred family! I am a guy who plays Sacred since the early days, and I have about 5000 hours+ played. 

Recently, I started playing Sacred again, but this time completely different. Before we start, you will need: 

Microsoft Word

Sacred character Editor  ---->   https://www.nexusmods.com/sacred/mods/6

Sacred item editor   ----> https://www.nexusmods.com/sacred/mods/7  

So, I am a person with really high imagination, so I created myself rules I must follow while playing Sacred. Rules are: 

- You use gold to create or how I like to say: "forge" items for yourself. Every item you use must be "created" by you, and to make things more interesting and more hard: all items you create must start with value 1. Let me try to explain: 

You make your level 1 character, you remove all items from inventory. Then you kill some monsters, you loot its better to start on bronze difficulty.  All items you pickup from ground and loot must be sold, and if in some cases you find item you like "aestethicaly" you keep it in inventory. Here comes crucial part of gameplay: this is why we need item editor. You use item editor to put your "desired" item on values of 1. Lets make detailed example: 

You picked up sword. You open that sword in item editor, in item editor you put sword to attack value of 1, you put damage on 1, you put item level on 1 etc. THEN you use gold ( gold you got by selling items ) to IMPROVE that sword you want to use. Here comes MS word into play. I will copy paste my first "upgrade" from my word. 

"Gladiator gameplay:
1st upgrade: Gold spent log file:  
Current gold: 51465 = 5000 spent on combat art called "Attack", 5000 spent on "heroic courage", 10000 spent on +2 damage for "fists" = 31 465 gold. Spent 10000 gold on +2 damage for "ring"= 21 465 gold. Spent another 10k gold on 2 another "Attack" combat arts. = 11465 gold".

Values for "upgrading" I will copy paste mine: 

Item forging cost: 
( 1 - 10 ) upgrades cost 5000 gold each. For example: 
"Leather helmet has 1 armor, adding +1 armor 10 times will cost 50 000 gold. Then from ( 10-25 ) upgrades each one will cost 10 000 gold. Armor values give +1 to all resistances. When upgrading rings I must choose do I want damage or resistances. 

Blue effect ( +1) costs 10 000 gold ( for example +1 attack speed requires me to pay 10 000 gold ) 

White effect ( 1+% physical damage for example) costs 10000 gold.

Gold effect (+1%) costs 25 000 gold.

You dont unlock combat arts by picking them up from ground, or at combo master, you buy them using character editor. CA from level 1 to 5 cost 5000 gold, then from level 5 to 10 cost 10 000 gold and then they duplicate and so on... ( to scale with game ) 

 you use character editor to "pay" for your upgrades and your combat arts.  It looks complicated but its actually really simple. I edit items and character in few minutes. Early game you will need a lot of exporting and a lot of grinding before you can do main quests, and that is why I like to play like this. I have endless options because I can choose what effects I will use on my items. 

Here is my level 30 gladiator:

You will probably call me idiot for playing like this, but I really wanted to share this... if I failed to explain something, please tell me in comments :)
