It only requires 4 pieces and is common during MF runs.

This set is designed for Amazons that utilize Bow Skills. Item-sets like Arctic Gear which gives the “Cannot be Frozen” modifier, which helps avoid headaches while leveling. However, the second character I created, I had hoped would have an easier time with the leftover gear I had kept for lower levels. I leveled and geared my first character with the help of random strangers and groups that were working through Acts. Grinding from scratch reminded me that the game can be a slog at times. Keep low-level gear, especially the sets! Once you get to Hell difficulty and start farming countess, you’ll be rid of them in no time. Don’t worry about your inventory space being overrun by chipped gems. I usually do a 3:1 ratio, meaning for a perfect gem I trade three chipped gems. TIP: You can create a game to trade your perfect quality gems into chipped gems. I made the mistake of rolling all of my chipped gems or selling them for gold to gamble on better gear, which is redundant as low-level gear is quickly replaced as you move forward in the content. Therefore, I suggest that you keep chipped gems of the same quality, as you will find plenty of opportunities to make perfect gems in Hell difficulty. They usually drop as flawless quality on Hell difficulty. However, the problem with chipped gems is that when you move onto Nightmare and Hell difficulty it becomes increasingly hard to find them. With a UM rune, you will be able to easily trade for mid-level gear such as Skin of the Vipermagi and other similarly placed items. With this method, I have gotten up to UM rune. Although she will usually drop low-level runes you can collect them and use chipped gems to begin accumulating higher-level runes. Even though she is COLD and FIRE immune, she is worth killing as she is guaranteed to drop 1 ~ 3 runes. With chipped gems, you will be able to obtain anything up to IO runes, and after that, you will require flawed gems to get to LUM and beyond.Ī great place to farm runes is the Countess in the Forgotten Tower during Act 1. And three AMN runes + chipped amethyst will get you one SOL rune. For example, three THUL runes + chipped topaz will get you one AMN rune. However, starting from THUL runes you will require a chipped gem in order to obtain the higher tier versions. From EL rune to ORT rune, you can roll three of the same runes to get it at the next level. What I often forgot, was that it requires various chipped gems to roll runes into higher runes. I know it will be tempting to roll all the gems you find in the Horadric Cube to get the best possible gem. Keep low-level gear, especially the sets!.
