slotted items?

[Shane/Banshee]

Never played ace so I have no idea of the background regarding slots vs gems etc.

Does having 3 slots empty effect the 1st gem?

also can you place runes over existing runed items. If not is this something that has been missed? Could be a great rune market out there for the swapping of runes

also means 3 slotters are worth more? Again a market for the lucky hunter?

slots didnt/shouldnt effect the rate a gem works and does nothing for the limit of how many added stats an item can have.

i always thought runes could be replaced (stick a rune on top of it), never tried it though. not able to take a rune out of an item.

Great thanks. When I get so stupid item ill try mana runes

On ace it was a +3 limit on gems. and then 3 slots if available... BUT .. if the item already has 3 full slots... you wont be able to gem it.

also if u have 1 slot already filled.... u can only gem it twice. hope this makes sense

Perfect thanks

So in other words if you find a 3 slot item you need to gem it first before filling slots with runes or gems won't work? Seems odd :S

correct you make the decision of gemming and waiting till u have the gems.. or instantly runeing to wear It straight away. think its a great idea tbh. also.. it means all these 3 slotted items at the mo.. cant be further upgraded

for example the 3 slotted d ring.. with dc runes it will only ever be 0-8... if they wait.. it could possibly be 0-11 :/

That's not right.

Basically on Ace we did it so:

Only a max of +3 of one stat from Gems/Orbs
Max of +5 in total.
E.g. DC+3 AC+2 from gems/Orbs and no more would work.

You could then use Runes as normal if slots are available. Also worked the other way round, you could use 3 DC Runes, then gem 3 DC 2 AC.
E.g.
3 Slot DRing - DC0-8 AC0-2 stats, 3x DC Runes.
Meaning your ring is DC0-11 AC0-2, no matter if you rune or gemmed first.

You could not swap and change the Runes. One you apply a rune, it's stuck.

Would be nice to hear from the team on this on how it works on here.
