Let me know when you decide to roll your HC character. I might give this game another shot and maybe we can group up.

If you enjoy the game enough, I would advise to go ahead and drop $20 into making your stash bigger and easier to organize (color options, extra tabs, etc).

Finding the orbs you need while grinding is a bitch

Havent tried crafting yet, havent really looked for it

[Fishpicker]

crafting is just using orbs to enchant, change and enhance base items. sometimes you'll get lucky and wind up with an item that is better than unique items of the same level. you should save all of your chaos orbs until you find items with 6 linked sockets

which will never happen. 6 links are extraordinarily rare. I personally wouldn't recommend crafting at all. It's basically just gambling. Until you reach lvl 80+ orbs should be saved. Use your alc's and chaos orbs for crafting end game maps , only lvl 72+ IMO. Unless you find something that is truly GG and can still be exalted, then that's the only time I would craft. Or picking up blue rings/amulets and it's 2 perfect stats and regal it and if that is a perfect stat then exalt.

lol wut?

you might want to save high level orbs for end game type stuff but you should be crafting the entire game. imo.

I think I agree with Bump. It's better to spend the orbs on sure items that like you like in trades rather than waste them on a crafting and hope that you get something you want. At least that seemed to be more prudent back when I was playing this in Spring.

you need to know what you are doing if you are going to take a try at crafting. You also need to have a lot of wealth. You definitely should not be crafting throughout the entire game. You can alc stuff if you need an upgrade really badly, but beyond that, no. If you get to end game, you can then start crafting but you will need lots of exalted orbs and eternals to get the godly stuff and those are hard to come by. I have done my fair share of crafting and it's all based on RNG (luck). You can blow through 20 exalts in one minute and not get a good item. But you can certainly buy a great item for 20 exalts from someone else.

I haven't played this in quite a bit, is the interface still really clunky? The graphics and interface definitely hold this game back.

I must warn you that it's still in beta, it's not even finished. The finished product will definitely be worth it. Right now it's just too short, but keep your eyes peeled. It does feature great gameplay...did you ever play Titan Quest? it's from the creators of that....Probably the best Diablo clone ever made.
