Quote:You cant bring the horadric staff to act 3 as the transition will remove it from your inventory, it is however fully possible to kill Duriel and still keep the staff. In other words you will lose the staff in the following 2 senarios:
Heh, too bad Poison_Creeper died vs Baal he could have shown you his Horadric Staff that he was using up to fighting diablo in normal. He managed to maintain it through the transition to act3.
He was using it as his main weapon no less. What happened, is that I joined a pubbie game called "act2 end" and someone had used an opener(a character that already has opened the tomb, but not killed duriel) to make the game. Since the tomb was open, the orifice was never activated in my presence, and the staff was never removed.
The transfer from act2 to act3 does not remove the Horadric Staff from your inventory. If it did, I would have surely lost my staff.
Quote:2 : You go to act 3 in the samme difficulty as the staff was made in. (ie u dont use the waypoint)Also, I really doubt that the game keeps track of which difficulty you collect a staff in. Note that you CAN use a staff found in hell/NM for a normal diff orifice.
I think that the only thing that removes the horadric staff is when a party member activates the orifice in act2 while you are in act2 as well.
(waiting to be proven wrong)
EDIT: Hmm, I do think that I may have lost the staff before when not partied with the person who opened the orifice, but only when I was in the orifice room with them.
