Ok, these are a lot of pictures. A few things I understand myself, such as the fact that I need more resists, especially if I wish to enter Hell. I just haven't found any items with resists that are adequate for my level. I also need more life, but beyond that, what should I aim for? I have no D-stones anything, because I am unsure of what I need exacly, and if there are better base items out there I'd try to get them first.

Get best weapon...
then go search the things you need in other gear.. cannot be frozen..freeze target.. cold attack or smth..
Now that's a lot of help.
First of all, I gambled that weapon I have. I judged that to be the best spear weapon available at my level. So if you say get best weapon, a little more in-depth advice would be helpful.

Hey, ES doesn't seem to work for me anymore, possibly something to do with the no-cd patch? Does ES still need the cd to play?
ES does require the CD to play.
I haven't had any problem since the patch was released, what little I've played, but my ES shortcut is linked to a copy of my D2:LoD directory, on my C:\ drive.
My vanilla 1.12a patched version of D2:LoD is in C:\Program Files

Today I will hopefully return to ES and slowly work my way to the top again. I will work on 7 simultaneous characters, leveling them 10 lvls at a time.
Damn. I hope they update ES to fit with the no-cd patch, because I was trying to play ES with a friend, making use of the no-cd requirements. Alas, my plan failed, and we just went back to vanilla.
Hey Phrozen, have you tried remaking some of your runewords? For example, "Learned One" only has 11 all res, and I doubt the creators would have a set resistance of 11 on their items, just an awkward number. So chances are, it can be both higher and lwoer, so I suggest you look up the runeword Learned One and check the max all res it can have, then remake it (put your runeword + key in cube and transmute) over and over again until you get those res to be perfect. Also, if you have any other runewords like that, then do the same.
edit: And okok9, he asked for our help for resistances because he needs them so he CAN go through hell. So telling him to go through hell and then gamble for res items seems kind of redundant (am I using this word right?).
editx2: Yay! I can now say that I have gotten all 4 types of jackpots:
Ancient Coupon Jackpot: A few times, mostly when I was playing with Cherie.
Rune Jackpot: Got in the forgotten tower (not from countess though!) in nightmare difficulty, some nice runes dropped.
Set Jackpot A: I've gotten quite a few of these, full low level sets, including Deaths and Hsarus.
Set Jackpot B: I JUST got this, nightmare, actII. I got full Alora's from some random unique.

WOOO HOOOOO!!! Welcome back!
I can help you with equipment and stuff (I have a few char specific charms). Just let me know what chars and when you will be on.

I got my computer back, but now I have to get the installation disk back from my friend.:O
Well let me know when that happens. I can give you some items to help you start out and set items and uniques etc. for later.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had a spare Reaver of the Angel of Annihilation. I've been trying to complete this set, and I have done numerous baal and cow runs, and have gambled away 2million gold.
Archie, do you have the ancient scroll for turning elite crafted weapons/armor into set weapon/armor? If you do, that could really help, I'd think. But it would probably be like, secret recipie %44 or something, a high-up one.

What, you can do that?! Is that just with runewords or uniques as well?
Anyway, I went into Hell today at lvl 81 after getting some resist charms. I managed to get secret recipie 27, so all those magic charms I'd been hoarding were finally turned into something better. Although arbuably they could have turned out better.
Its going pretty well so far though. My poison resist sucks at -53, but other than that I'm lying around 0. I'm hoping to get as far as possible, I've only died twice so far, once against Treehead and another time against a nasty LE something outside the Monastery.
Something else also happened which I am not sure was supposed to happen. DClone spawned, and I beat him He didn't drop anything good though, except for a unique charm I already had.

You can do that with runewords for sure. You'll have to check the recipies page on ES to know how to reroll unqiues. Sorry I can't tell ya now, I forget. Maybe we should have the thread creator to update the first page with helpful recipies that we could all use? Or possibly have a new thread made, stickied and closed. Have it updated by the maker, and we can post the helpful recipies on here?

I wish!! There are only scrolls for normal and exceptional items. Elite items have to be earned the hard way.:(
Okay, I played for a few hours since I posted, and I have now spent appx 3 million gold.
I keep getting only magic items in the gamble. They are usually exceptional or elite, but I can't seem to get the elite set.
I'm gonna go try for another 3 hours, or until I get frustrated again.:mad:

Did you sell any Devil's Food to get this to happen, or were you just lucky?
@Archie: If I come across one it is yours, but I haven't seen any pieces of this set yet.

Just lucky, and in more then one way. I had him sapwn again, but this time I had no chance against him. I think my Valkyrie might have spawned with a "Prevent Monster Heal" last time, because he regenerated health faster than I could damage him
Oh, and I managed to slowly wade my way through Hell. Died a few times in the beginning of Act 2, not once in Act 3, and not once in Act4 either... until I reached Lachdanan in the Chaos Sanctuary. God damn, I have no idea how I'm gonna manage to kill him and his minions

I got lucky last night - my first DClone.:P I was soo excited I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off. He was soo easy to kill and I didn't get any good drops either. A couple of low rares and 2 crappy magic charms, oh and a white rune, I am in hell and a white rune drops, grrr.

I have plenty of items to trade.
Any help would be appreciated.
Do you have an extra scythe?
What do you need for trade? I assume the only thing that you could possibly need is Dstones.
Or if you could point me in a different direction for farming, that would be appreciated too.
