So I bought Battle Chest, I'm playin' LoD, thanks to Zhar; I found it for $10.
Anyway, I'm in the Jail in Act 1 (I started playin' last night, I'm on my 6th hour of gameplay. [I like to go EVERYWHERE and read EVERYTHING and find EVERYTHING possible, so I'm slower, but I prefer patient.] lol)
I got the quest for Charsi to Imbue one of my items, I'm a sword Barb; I wanted to know if anyone could inform me what the best sword is to get to Imbue, and where. I also was curious if the sword has to be normal, magic, rare, etc. Somethin' told me it was a smart idea to be patient and come ask than waste her Imbue on a crappy sword. Also, I was wondering if it's a better idea to Imbue another item, and which kind? (Weapon, Armor? etc. or if it's just a matter of personal preference?)
Also, I was curious if anyone could explain Attack Rating, Strength, Dexterity, and all of those numbers/features/components, however it would be worded, or if someone can tell me a good place to find those answers?
I greatly appreciate any advice/help. Thank you!

Well, I believe I put one whole level into Str, and the rest into Dex and Vit, mostly Vit. I'm level 15 Jail Lvl 2 now, I have around 250 HP, 130 Defense and 520 AR, level 1 Shout so about 260 Defense. I'm maxing Sword Mastery for now until I reach prerequisite levels for other things. It seems maxing a few of the Calls, Whirlwind and a couple Masteries would be a very good build.
Thank you very much for the Imbue advice, sounds great. I kept the same Mercenary as well and gave her some decent items, she's killin' most things in 1 hit so when I reach a tough monster, I kill all the weak ones so my attacks aren't disturbed/caused to miss, especially since my merc, Annor, is kickin' ass from the rear. I think I'll do okay against Andariel, I remember readin' somewhere she does a lot of poison so I'm preparing for that. I attack rather quickly too so I'm hoping not too many monsters are around or Andariel is slow enough for me to take them out first.
I will definitely post all questions here. I hope the thread won't lose relevance or be closed due to insignificance. Also, please feel free to give advice that I'm not yet knowledgable enough to ask questions about. The only thing I am not interested in is build advice. I like to be my own player so that if my build/decision-making is a success or a failure, it is MY success or failure.
Thank you!
OK, I just thought of something... a normal socketed item, Imbueable?

I can tell you how to distribute your stats. But I guess that would be considered build advice.
For imbuing it should tell you what you can and can't imbune. Plus it's not that important because you will find better items.

I am cheese. I am loved by all. I go great with everything. Other foods hate me because I take all the glory. Like Nachos..Their just jealous cause no one eats them unless Im there. Shit..I even ruined broccili's rep. Broccili kept talkin shit so I was like. " You know what?, I think I might melt myself on some Broccilli. See how those humans enjoy that green [sexual slur censored] now." Shit...Now,People dont even touch him, unless Im all over that shit! Ahhh..Its not easy, being cheesy.. Peace. Cheese Out.
You guys are awesome! Thank you! Vnom, I suppose an example of comparison would help inspire me in case I start running into trouble I may come up with a solution before it is too late. Thank you!
I killed Andariel in about 25 hits, didn't have to use even one potion, lost half my HP.

When you have enough poison resist, you don't have to use potions when fighting Andariel. If you're a fire dealing character, all the better. She's a piece of cake. Duriel, isn't. Not in normal mode, at least.
Well I just reinstalled D2 LOD today and tryed out my lvl 90 light sorc... works like a charm ^_^! Been finding all sorts of items! Anyone up for some mf? I'll probably get on tonight, so if anyone has a mf char, i'd be glad to go on runs with ya. Cya later.. or not
Well, Andariel was a piece of cake, and I just finally finished Act II, I went EVERYWHERE. Duriel took about 5 potions but I had him slowed/knockback and never missed. I love my AR + I still have the same merc from Kashya's reward, she's level 23 goin' on 24, same as I, and I found her a rare socketed bow and put a blue gem in, plus I have a couple + cold dmg small charms so Duriel was practically immobile. Took one try and under 2 mins to kill Duriel. I'm exhausted though... lot of running around to find things. Took me over 8.5 hours. I ended up Imbuing a Crystal Sword. My only weakness is spell damage, I'm hopin' for better items soon or to fare well 'til 30 for that resistance Mastery.
Thank you all for the support, and thank you for the link, Venom.
I would like to play on B.Net but I suppose everyone isn't interested in startin' over with me?

No problem with the link help. I'm betting that we all will be starting over when patch 1.13 comes out. But if you wanna play on b.net now, I can play with ya but my barbarian is level 41 atm.

You have no idea how appealing that sounds right now, but I'm going to be in New York Sunday through Wednesday and all over creation all the rest of the week. These coming two weeks are my parents "vacation-to-see-annoying-relatives-and-friends-we-only-talk-to-once-a-year-and-don't-really-like-being-around" marathon.
Anyway, I'm in the Jail in Act 1 (I started playin' last night, I'm on my 6th hour of gameplay. [I like to go EVERYWHERE and read EVERYTHING and find EVERYTHING possible, so I'm slower, but I prefer patient.] lol)

Just buy the best sword or any type of armor in the place and imbue it. (IT CANT BE MAGIC OR RARE OR ANYTHING, IT HAS TO BE NORMAL)
Strength gives extra damage and allows you to wear things as you progress (good for barbs).
Dex adds defense and attack rating. Attack rating gives you a better chance to hit a monster (good to have some
Energy gives you mana (not good to use on this for most classes esspecialy barb)
Vitality gives you health and stamina
Defense lowers the chance you will be hit by a monster
Feel free to ask more questions i will check up on this forum

I'm pretty sure it can't have sockets in order for Charsi to imbue it.
I usually save my imbues for later, but never use them... It's not that useful
And I think socketed item are not imbuable
I killed Andariel in about 25 hits, didn't have to use even one potion, lost half my HP.
