Wow, ive been playing this game since i was like 6-7 and never knew you could upgrade items like that. D2 has taken over my life again and im learning so much from you. I really appreciate these videos!
one last little tip is always keep a flawless Ruby or amethyst in your inventory, whenever you see a gem shrine it will upgrade your flawless gem to a perfect one, it can be any gem but these two are the most valuable 👍
Instead of wasting the space in your inventory just portal back to town and grab one then when you come back it's in your inventory at least that's what I do . Every slot space is valuable
13:03 reroll rare diadems or tiaras with 6 perfect skull will potentialy give powerful skills cuz tiaras and diadems have the unique hability to roll any skill in the game.
Hey, GGM! I'm impressed with how well and precisely you explain things. It's obvious that you've put in some serious work into organizing your thoughts and information before getting on camera. You have earned yourself a subscriber, brother!
Perfect Skulls are important. Rare item + 6 P Skulls and you will reroll the Rare item stats. Good for Rare Diadems/Circlets rerolls for +2 all skills + 20%FCR
you forgot to mention that you need a char width damn high char level to do this. The item level will be 40% of your char level + 40% of its original item level.. so its getting lower with every role.. down to ilvl 40 if you are 99
Well I read this and assumed you meant that it would reroll everything EXCEPT the +2 skills & 20fcr.... i had a +2sorc skill with +20fcr and rerolled it based on this advice. BIG MISTAKE.
This is great stuff, I actually never knew we could "upgrade" our items. I just thought all you could do is put runewords and those would be the only benefits you would get from a specific word.
what is worth more dmg : 4 perfect emeralds for 100 poison each or 4 diferent elements on a weapon? do 4 poison gems even stack ? i wanted to make a bow with 400 poison dmg to level up my new characters
Thanks again. I never knew this. Thanks to you my Necro is rolling thru Hell mode. I never knew any of this and I’ve been playing for months. It’s a good thing I saved my gems. I gave a bank character full of Perfect gems. Never knew why I was saving them, I just did. Also created a Live server Necro. I’m having a lot more fun with this game these days!
Another great video, my friend was just asking what to do with all his gems and jewels. Now I can send him this! *tosses a log on the fires of sacrifice*

Love your videos man, recently come across your videos and could listen to you explain things all day, you're a good teacher. keep up the hard work! :)
Hey, excellent tutorial for a D2R noob. Subscribed. Question 1: what is the best and definitive online source for these: crafting, upgrading, re-rolling, etc.? Question 2: how can you tell whether your item is normal, nightmare or hell? Appreciate help from anyone who can answer these. Thanks!!!
Areatsummit used to have recipe sheets. Item level requirements tend to show the difficulty. Level req late 60s i believe are hell. 35 to 60 I believe is nightmare. I'm most likely wrong.
@@bryanthegoalie5692 Thank you Bryan. So it's the min. level requirement and thresholds might be (or not) 35+ and 60+ for nightmare/hell. And the Areatsummit does appear to be IT. Thanks much, again :)
Answer #1 I really have been enjoying Diablo2.io It it so very easy to search and use for resources. Unlike a lot of the other websites I end up searching for a long time to find what I want. #2 by name mainly. I have them all memorized at this point but you can also tell by other factors like damage, defense, level requirement ect. When you see an armor that has 400+ defense you know it's probably a hell armor, or when you see weapon with 250+ damage you know it's a hell weapon. Lots of things like this come into play but you can also memorize the names of the items. For instance Halberd = normal Bec-de-corbin = nightmare(exceptional) Great poleaxe = hell or elite version The Diablo2.io website is great for this but there are many others too.
So item sockets is a bit complicated. I can over simply it for you but it's not the 100% correct answer. The over simplification is this. 3 sockets is max for normal difficulty 4 sockets is max for nightmare 6 sockets is max for hell. So if you find a longbow in normal difficulty and larzuk it, the bow will most likely only get 3 sockets. Like I said this is an extreme over simplification, the real answer might make a good video
once i found a rare jewel in act 1 normal that gave +5 to minimum damage among other things. i put it in a 3 socket long bow and gave it to my merc... she was killing things with one shot until i got to act 3
@@YoonJintae98 no it's not a thing, there is one recipe sort of what your looking for be it resets the Ilvl of the item to lvl 1 and ruins the socketability An ilvl 1 item can only ever get minimum sockets.
In the original D2 days, you would have a gem mule that you drop traded all your gems and skulls over to. Additionally you would have a gear mule that just holds items for other chars you might make in the future.
@@GGMentor In PlugY version of classic D2 they solved the problem adding 99 giant tabs for storing your stuff but D2R devs can't handle such simple CoL task. =( I mean we'll create as many mules as we need anyways.

I did indeed accidentally leave out the socket recipes, good catch. I only realized it after I uploaded the video haha. I did a second video called socketing your items to make up for it.
I´m sure you can help me with a question. Why in the hammerdin build for the paladin, is good the Vigor skill for the blessed hammer, if in the description it doesn´t say it´s a passive skill? I don´t get it.
So blessed hammer is used with concentration. Concentration boosts the damage of hammers by 50% of the listed value. Vigor and blessed aim are synergies, these are skills which will passively boost the damage of the hammers for every hard point in the skill. You do not have to use them to gain the bonus. Generally most hammerdins max concentration and hammers before they work on the synergies. I hope that helps, you are always welcome to come by my Livestreams and ask questions there.

@@GGMentor thanks a lot man. That will help a lot for newbie like me. So confused with the normal exceptional and elite upgrade stuff
Nice one.
Was not prepared for the chinchilla
Nimoy was not prepared for you sir!
Normal/exceptional/elite items aren't necessarily tied to normal/nightmare/hell btw
Yes, correct.
I´m sure you can help me with a question. Why in the hammerdin build for the paladin, is good the Vigor skill for the blessed hammer, if in the description it doesn´t say it´s a passive skill? I don´t get it.
So blessed hammer is used with concentration. Concentration boosts the damage of hammers by 50% of the listed value.
Vigor and blessed aim are synergies, these are skills which will passively boost the damage of the hammers for every hard point in the skill.
You do not have to use them to gain the bonus.
Generally most hammerdins max concentration and hammers before they work on the synergies.
I hope that helps, you are always welcome to come by my Livestreams and ask questions there.
@@GGMentor Thank you so much for that quick answer, I really appreciate it. So it doesn´t matter if I have vigor active, it will still work, right?
@@foreropa vigor does not need to be active to gain the damage bonus that is correct.
Use hammers + concentration
I had to make a mule named Gemmy.
what about a Unique shield?
can you upgrade SET items?
or sockedet items?
You can only upgrade or up tier any unique items (gold) AND rare items (yellow).
No you can't upgrade set items much to the dismay of most players.
Yes you can upgrade uniques and rare items.
Really good
Hello thank you for the video. Can I downgrade?? A snow clash to a gold wrap for instance?
No, only upgrades no downgrading.
Upgrading doesn't change the item it only gives it more defense or damage.
The stats remain the same.
Ginger Gaming Mentor thank you for that fast response! Damn I want a goldwrap
@@wopbobadobop next time I get one you're welcome to it.
Swing by the stream sometime and hang out.

filling my stash up
Sounds like someone needs to start rerolling charms.
When items are upgraded the level requirement shown on the upgraded item may not be accurate.
Was that a Tyreal's Might in your stash, or a Melebragas?
Lol milabregas I was recently using the full set on my low level conviction paladin. Great lowbie set if you have all the pieces. Plus it looks amazing in d2r so sexy
