Ok I am a lurker but I registered because something just happened that I want to post about to see if this has happened to anyone else.
I am trying to craft a pair of IAS / Knockback gloves for my new Amazon, you know blue chain gloves + ort + Perf sapphire + Jewel? I have had a few unsuccessful tries in nightmare difficulty, so I am wondering if obtaining the gloves in a higher difficulty level makes any difference?
Normally, I buy my gloves from Gheed in Act 1. He always seems to have at least 1 pair of chain gloves for sale and its a lot quicker than finiding one. Like I said, the results so far have been just very poor so I thought I would try hell. I just join a hell game and run over to Gheed (after I kindly open the cow level for some people even though I am not doing cows hey it made me feel good). No chain gloves for sale, whats this? I try Charsi, nope no chain gloves there either. OK I think no problem and waypoint into Lut Golein. Run up to Tyra? (can't remember her name, Paladin girl) nope no chain gloves again. So I run over to Elzix? (Innkeeper guy). First, the item screen takes ages to load, I think maybe my game has frozen. Maybe not that long, a second or two but normally it is instant. Anyway, STILL no chain gloves! Then when I close the item screen, I get a YOUR CONNECTION WAS LOST error. Worse still, I try to log back on and REALM DOWN!!!. I figures its just Bnet having some problems as usual so I read the forums for a bit, log on again after maybe 10 minutes with no problem.
I try the exact same thing again. Gheed has no chain gloves. Charsi has no chain gloves, (you can guess), Tara has no chain gloves, try Elzix again and BAM, exact same problem, CONNECTION LOST!!
So OK I have a question. Is that just bad luck / coincidence, a known bug or did I really do something wrong?
As a PS, if anyone who has successfully managed it could tell me how they crafted their IAS / knockback gloves I would be very grateful. Does it matter where you get the gloves from? Is it better to buy them or find them, if so, where?
Many thanks
