This mod is compatible with Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction 1.09 version. This is English mod version. It means, that all texts are in English language and fits all, who can speak, read and write this beautiful language!
The MAIN feature:
1. Absolutely new class of runes (materials). You can buy them from merchants. Using them in Horadric cube with any ring or amulet, you can add their properties to these items as much, as you want. So
it's possible to forge a really powerful ring or amulet.
Be attentive! All parameters have their limits, like 31, 127, 255). So, if you reach them, nothing will happen after, you just waste your rune.
2. You can add sockets to items with the Horadric cube. Just put an item, you want to add sockets, and one perfect stone into Horadric cube!
Each item type can be socketed by its own stone. For "blue" items it is Perfect Sapphire. For "green" it is Perfect Emerald. For "yellow" it is Perfect Topaz. But Perfect Diamond fits for all purposes.
3. Some monsters have defensive or offensive auras (like Paladin has), so it should bring you a new game experience.
4. New appearance for high level, rare, set and unique armors (helmets, boots, shields, etc.)
