What is a badge??

[pluch002]

im back again and i wanan kno what a badge is i forgot what it was called but i remember seeing one in a trade box b4 and its req was lvl 90 can someone tell me what where and how you get it? what does it do? does it add to your stats or something? or does it prove you have killed uber bosses or something please tell me i have been wanting to kno what it was for like 3 weeks lol

 

[Pale_Horse]

Are you referring to the Standard of Heros banner? If so this a item you get from defeating the Ubers in Trist. Kind of like proof of doing so. It does nothing, so far. No one knows if it will ever.

 

[Death's the name...]

lol it helps key hunting.....w/o sohs the chance is 1/34....goes up 1/34th for every extra soh in your inventory

 

[Pale_Horse]

No it does not. The chance is exactly the same.

 

[pluch002]

can someone tell me what "hoz" or hoto is?? people are selling for so much i am thinking it is heart of the oak?? i have no idea what hoz is

 

[Darth-Laoshi]

No it does not. The chance is exactly the same.

Do you know that for a fact? Have you tried filling your inventory with them? I'm just wondering...

I suppose if that was the case they would've listed the chance to drop a key as 1/40. Oh well. Don't discard your SoH's yet!!!

HoZ is Herald of Zakarum Paladin shield. One of the best if not the best non runeword Pally shield. HotO is Heart of the Oak, this is a runeword weapon normally for hammerdins, or casters in general. Normally in a flail.

Do you know that for a fact? Have you tried filling your inventory with them? I'm just wondering...

I have tried everything I could thing of when the new patch came out. Same with some of the friends I had when I played. I tried transmuting a full cube of them, the torch and rest of the banners in cube, carrying all I could hold with and without the torch for better % to find keys and to have better chance of dropping a torch I needed ect. You neame it it was tried, by me or someone else.
SoH so far have shown to have no use, everyone and their mother has a idea of their own, but nothing is proven to work. Maybe in patch 1.12 their will, but for now I find it to be just proof of beating the ubers.

 

[pluch002]

when is 1.12 coming out?

 

[Laharl]

1.12 will come out when Blizzard decides it is time to finish raping whatever balance remained in D2 by adding "Breath of the pathetic preteen who uses the new runewords" which makes you completely invincible.

Then d2 will be finished and I would laugh.

 

[pluch002]

ok

can you tell me what runewords makes you invincible? b/c that is not true

 

[Pale_Horse]

Ummmm ... that was being sarcastic goofball.

 

[pluch002]

wel l ithink it should have a purpose if tey spent time putting it inthe new patch dontcha think? i mean what would the point of waisting time to put osmething usless like that and waste a space in your inventory

 

[dNiym]

waste a space in your inventory

Thats one less godly small charm you can have, I think its a secret ploy to get more HC people dead by taking away their room for charms.
They should have made the stats on the standard of heros be:
Life Based On Level
Mf Based On Level
Mana Based on Level
Resists Based on Level

But it should take up 40 Squares in inventory so it was the only thing u could carry

 

[Darth-Laoshi]

Throw in a + skills mod @ .100 per char lvl and you got a deal

 

[pluch002]

well

i jsut realized something what is th epoint of having a level requirment if it doesnt do anything?? the req'd lvl is 90

 

[TheHighestTree]

I heard it reduces or nulls lost exp, but I'm sure some of those insane levelers would be able to confirm this if it were true...

 

[Hamtaro]

Than why the hell doesn't it just say it?
Last wish(or maybe your talking about flamebellow for barbs) makes you invisible.
Lvl 90 req, Keyhunting, read my thread in Discussion of d2
Original chance of finding 1 key from countess:1/34 Chance of 2 keys:1/68
Original chance of finding 1 key from countess w/ soh = 1/17 2 keys (lol) 1/34
And i still havent figured out summoners/nihlathaks.
EDIT:Arent they the same????

I had a lvl 93 Hammerdin use it, I didn't see any difference, in exp loss or gain, mf, damage taken or doing, key finding or anything else of the sort.

I heard it reduces or nulls lost exp, but I'm sure some of those insane levelers would be able to confirm this if it were true...

Yep, tried it. Did nothing as stated above.

Last wish does not make you invisible, if I'm right it is cloak of shadows, same as Assassin skill.
That whole thing on key finding is hearsay and just a rumor. I had at one point to see if it was correct or not, 12 SoH on my key hunting, mfing, jerking off ect. No Real difference any way shape or form. When I left D2 their was no concrete proof that the SoH did anything but show proof that someone beat the 3 Ubers in Trist.

If you mean cant figure them out by where they are, here.
Summoner is act 2 (sanctuary? Right before Tal Rasha tombs area forgot name)
Nihliack or however he is spelled is act 5 (after saving anya she opens a portal)

 

[dNiym]

Last wish has fade pictured below:

It makes you more resistant to physical and elemental damage, it also reduces shrine duration.

looks like my asn wen i use a certain skill
