Thanks for the follow up, A_W! After reading what seems like everything ever written aboot gambling, I'm still a little unclear - probly the math, or my translation of the math to common parlance. :blush:I have 3 more questions (I'm playing Classic, if that matters):
1. As long as my character is sufficient level to spawn a base item in the gambling window, am I allowed to gamble the unique for it? I'm thinking of Tarns (skullcap) & Bloodfists (heavy gloves) with my L6 Necro. I'm attempting to do the same thing goldfish was doing, & AFAICT, the only limit is base item <= clvl+4 (ie: clvl 4 = Twitch, clvl 8 = Chance Guards, clvl 16 = Iceblink, etc.). If I'm correct, is there any advantage to waiting for a higher level, since I'm not interested in rares?
2. Can I gamble exceptionals? If I want a Cedar bow, do I gamble Long Bows with a clvl 31 or higher character and eventually some will turn out to be Cedars? Or do exceptionals in fact show up in the gambling window at some point? Cuz IIRC I haven't seen one yet, and I'd like to get a better bow. AFAICT, I think I'm gonna have to burn a bunch of imbues & cross my fingers one turns out worthwhile. :unsure:Any advice appreciated.
3. Exceptional/Elite Uniques do not exist in Classic, correct? What does that mean as far as ammys & rings go? It used to be there were only 3 of each (nagel, manald, soj; nokozan, etlich, curio). Is this still true? The Arreat Summit, despite GF's heroics, still has some gaps....
Thanks a ton in advance anyone!
