Nah, I don't use that. I think the bases not dropping is just a side effect of the increased magic find built into the mod.

I found a solution though, I just did Lower Kurast racking (google it, it's hard to explain). I got lucky with a Monarch from an unstable rack and found a stable Great Poleaxe rack pretty quick. Within a few hours I had my ethereal Great Poleaxe for my infinity :)

I am now 91 and I just need 1 more item to drop before I complete my build. I feel like I will hit 99 before it drops :(

I have noticed a pattern like other people have said. Lots of Ogre Axes and Colossus Crossbows drop, but I've only seen 1 Monarch and 1 Cryptic Axe.

You guys have your information wrong. The max number of sockets is ALWAYS determined by the item level. The method in which you add sockets does not affect the maximum.

For reference, read this:
Diablo2.diablowiki.net

Can you run Diablo II normally? That error is usually because you haven't set up compatibility on the shortcut correctly. The -direct -txt has no effect on the way the game runs, just modifies data.

Try modifying your shortcut to:
- Run in administrator mode
- Run in compatibility mode for windows xp sp2
- If neither work, try adding -w to your shortcut (windowed mode). You can "maximise" the window to make it a bit bigger

Still playing, I don't think that failed unique thing really matters..It's just a side effect of the altered drop rates. What's really hindering me is finding bases! I can't find monarchs or 4+ socket elite polearms lol. I think this is also a side effect of the drop rates.

My suggestion would be, that if you update it, maybe add a cube recipe to remove magic properties from an item (like in PoE, turn a blue into a white). Or, another idea could be to increase the drop rate of elite weapons and armor (white) somehow. I don't know if this is easy or not since I know the treasure class stuff can get complicated, but it would be nice.

I have like so many high runes but can't find an infinity base :(

Hi, I just started playing and this is really cool! I have a bug report though. I went to kill blood raven at level 12 and she dropped 2 uniques plus 3 rare leather armors. They had triple durability which means they are "failed" uniques. This happens when a unique is rolled for the monster but they are not high enough level to drop it (there are articles out there for more specific details). I am assuming she's meant to drop the unique leather armor?

Anyway thanks a lot for making this, enjoying it so far :)
