importance of chips

[faskylineq]

what is the importance of chips, i know u can upgrade runes and stuff with them, but what else????

[Allisurd]

They used to be used to socket magical (blue) items in 1.09. So now yeah, their useless.

[Po_boy]

They still do Alli *prepares to be ignored*

[Allisurd]

lol... Didn't they change it to perfect or flawless gems with 1.10?

[Po_boy]

I believe it works with every quality of gems as long as they are the same *is amazed he was not ignored*

[Allisurd]

Just checked. You need three perfect gems (any will do) and a magical weapon. You then get up to six sockets, and the ilvl is about 60% of the original ilvl of the weapon.

Here are cube recipes that use chipped gems, just to prove that they aren't totally useless. no flamey flamey.

4 Health Potions (of any type) + Ruby (any type) + Magical Sword = A Magic Sword of the Leech
You can use this formula to get a Life Stealing sword. ilvl = 30. The sword will always have the "of the Leech" suffix (4-5% Life Stolen Per Hit) and has a chance at getting a prefix as well. The type of sword is retained. For example, a champion sword as input will give a champion sword as output.

1 Magic Shield (any type) + 1 Spiked Club (any quality) + 2 Skulls (any quality) = Magic Shield of Spikes
ilvl=30. The shield will always have the "of Spikes" suffix (Attacker Takes Damage of 4-6) and has a chance at getting a prefix as well. The type of shield is retained, and any type of shield (including paladin shields and necromancer shrunken heads) works as input.

Diamond (any quality) + 1 Staff (any type and quality) + 1 Kris (any quality) + 1 Belt (any type and quality) = Savage Polearm Class Weapon
ivl = 50. The polearm will always have the Savage prefix (66-80% Enhanced Damage) and has a chance at getting a suffix as well. The polearm will be one of the following, selected randomly: Bardiche, Battle Scythe, Bill, Halberd, Lochaber Axe, Partizan, Poleaxe, Scythe, Voulge, War Scythe (put another way, any normal polearm or any exceptional polearm other than Bec-de-Corbin and Grim Scythe).

3 Thul Runes + 1 Chipped Topaz = Amn Rune
3 Amn Runes + 1 Chipped Amethyst = Sol Rune
3 Sol Runes + 1 Chipped Sapphire = Shael Rune
3 Shael Runes + 1 Chipped Ruby = Dol Rune

3 Dol Runes + 1 Chipped Emerald = Hel Rune (ladder recipe)
3 Hel Runes + 1 Chipped Diamond = Io Rune (ladder recipe)

3 Health Potions + 3 Mana Potions + 1 Chipped Gem = 1 Rejuvenation Potion
Use this formula if you are in need of instant healing and/or mana. Any grade of Health/Mana Potion can be used.

1 Eld Rune + 1 Chipped Gem + Low Quality Weapon = Normal Quality Weapon of same type
ilvl = 1. That is, regardless of what the ilvl was beforehand, it will be set to 1.

1 El Rune + 1 Chipped Gem + Low Quality Armor = Normal Quality Armor of same type

1 Ort Rune + 1 Chipped Gem (any kind) + Weapon = Fully Repaired and Recharged Weapon
You cannot repair ethereal weapons.

[connect_dubai]

[Allisurd]

isnt it sword + 3 chipped for random mods......? to get Cruel prefix?

No, it changed with 1.10. It's now the same but with perfect gems instead.

[Karant]

256 is that all ...

lol, no 384...................... lol, my pc needs some mods. Tho back on topic!

[Nubli]

No, it changed with 1.10. It's now the same but with perfect gems instead.

you can use 3 chipped to get a cruel prefix. the only thing now is that it comes with max 2 sockets instead of 3 like 09.

[Tonberry]

do they all have to be of the same type (as in both like 3 chipped rubies)
cos it wont do it on mine...
it might be D2 but...

[faskylineq]

not to mention any names, but i've seen some of the moderators and higher members acting particularly vindictive towards others. remember, this is a great website about a game with fun forums.
