In Crystalion's post in the Workshop about forcing hindurares, he mentioned the idea of shopping for good rares in classic, and then converting to the expansion, where good rares are so hard to find (because of crap affixes like charges and chance to cast). This made me wonder: what exactly are the differences, for items only, between D2C 1.10 and LOD 1.10?
I'm not sure where to look for this information, is there just an "expansion" flag next to affixes in the mpq text files? Are there other differences, like how imbues work or cube recipes (do the old resistance ring cube recipes that used chipped gems work in d2c, for example)? Are the gambling percentages in D2C like they used to be, where you could realistically gamble the normal uniques and sets? Does Magic Find work the same as it does in LOD?
The goal here is to see what kinds of things are easier to get in D2C, or impossible to get in LOD. I happened to like the rare affix pool (particularly for resistances) and the rare/unique gambling percentages back from the pre-LOD days. I seem to recall tons of things changing in 1.07 for D2C, but I don't remember how much of it was item related.
