Median XL: How To Prepare Items For Runewords

[theraginggamer]

With a change made in Sigma 2.0 some of the information in this video is outdated. You can no longer reroll base (white) superior items, nor can you unsocket them now. AFAIK, everything else in this vid is still relevant, feel free to comment if anything else in this vid is no longer correct and I will edit this comment

This is exactly what I was looking for!!
I just started playing Sigma, and have been watching streamers do this, but it is never explained. Thank you very much for this! And, even though it is a long and repetitive process, this video shows a real look into what one has to go through to get what they want.
Great job! I will be looking at your other videos now as well! Thanks again for this!
(Also, really good to know that I don't actually need to worry about crafting these things for a while!) No stress! Ha!

Thanks for these type of tutorial videos. As a beginner in Diablo 2, specially in Median XL, this is really helpful! :)

Both videos out there for Runewords forget to do their Jewelcrafting first so that you can use the junk jewels from crafting for socket punch.

Also tl;dw:
-Craft your jewels
-Take your armor/weapon and keep cubing with Oil of Renewal
-Keep rolling until no sockets OR max sockets with 30%ED (Damage or Defense) and, optionally for weapons, Attack Rating
-Use an Oil of Luck for extra ED/AR on weapon or ED/Phys Res on armor
-If no sockets use Socket Punch recipe (item + number of jewels needed for max sockets - eg. an armor can have 6 sockets so cube 6 jewels + armor)
-Socket your jewels (all but last socket) and rune in the last socket

[caseymorgan]

Man, I’ve been watching you for a while and I fuckin love you, you’re hilarious

Great video mate thank you.
I started Median XL Sigma the day before, and most of the info on the internet, even videos about Crafting - Cube Recipes - [M]ystic [O]rbing - Runewords - Shrine crafting etc are based on changed old mechanics so appreciate this a lot.
Also I heard something about Downgrading Sacred Rare item to Level 1 (with rare ring-amulet) then to MO to top then Shrinecraft and then to Bless (not sure about the order), do you have a video about that?

[iantwiford]

awesome vid, would love to see a video on the speed calculator. That thing is a pain to understand, also do you think shrine crafts are worth anymore now that they don't double MO effects?

[MetalGreymon]

btw u can use d2stats 3.10.4 it work well with sigma even the drop filter

[itpugil]

how did you get that UI? like the health and mana orb and all, my median XL still retains the old art, and the resolution is only below 800 x 600!

[ezra]

where do you get those gray items? runes only work for gray items right? does it also work for normal items the white one

[jakejason]

i will never understand why would it matter to have 28% increased damage instead of 33%. Its so little difference...

[shieldofhope]

you dont use "C" for transmute :)))

[mrz]

Thx for all this info !! more tutorials sir !! great content for median xl keep it up

[thepetahfinneran]

Great tutorial. I always lucky my jewels for additional stats before making rune words but I have not heard of anyone else doing this. Is there a reason to not do this?

[RaskaTheFurry]

it would be nice to lower the sensitivity of that microphone or try to reduce the noise in post process in SW like Audacity. ( its good to capture video and audio separately )
let the video part capture the game sound and the audio be just your mic.

they also should add item filter to D2

[Cultist]

Can be mystic orbs be applied to magical/rare/unique items? Or it's only for basical items?

[RuneChaosMarine]

Where is the island of the sunless sea in this mod? I saw it in Diablo beasleebub

[GrosGolmon]

why not make the item honorific for double MOs bonus? doesnt work with the enhanced defense roll you're looking for?

[stephenroetz]

Love the vids bro! keep up the good work :)
