I got one MF item from an act3 drop but it was only like 5.

Right now I have 5 characters: sorc, druid, amazon, necro, assassin.

All of them are in act 2, except for my Amazon who just got rushed to act 5 from some random people I happened to party up with. What's your battle tag? I can add you next time I get on.

Tal Thul Ort Amn and Ral Tir Tal Sol are what you want early on. The former goes in a 4 soc sword (Broad or Crystal preferably) to give you Spirit, one of the best caster weapons (it can also go in a 4 soc shield, but that won't be available until Hell when you can find a Monarch). The latter goes in a 4 soc polearm (e.g. Partisan) to give Insight, a merc weapon with the Meditation aura, which replenishes Mana.

Ort Sol in a helm and Tal Eth in an armor are decent early on too.

You can see the rest here (click the links at the bottom): http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/runewords.shtml

Trying to do some Nightmare farming and grinding on the Sorc to get the fire tree up. I forgot how brutal Hell mobs can be. Would be great to get a 4os Monarch for Spirit, as well as MF items in general.

Sword probably since it's relatively easy to obtain early on.

Spirit in Paladin Shields can be amazing though, because they can have up to 45 All Res (which stacks with the 35 Cold/Light/Poison Res from Spirit). If you find a good one with 4 sockets, then go with that.

I think so. It's good for runes too.

I looked it up and it turns out Normal Cows is ideal for a 4 soc Crystal Sword. Crystal Swords get 4 socs between ilvl 26 and 40, and Norm Cows drops ilvl 28 (slightly more for bosses).

You cannot find a 4os crystal sword there. What you can find is a normal crystal sword and use the lazark quest to give it 4os though.

It depends on the ilvl of the item. It'll add the max sockets available for that ilvl.

For a Crystal Sword, that's 3 sockets at ilvl 1-25, 4 at 26-40 and 6 at 41+. One found in Norm Cows will give 4.

If the game was created by someone who had already completed the quest, you wouldn't be able to complete it.

Sword. You can always find a better shield, but none of the stats on the weapon will matter.

I didn't mean to imply it is bugged. I pretty much mean what @luigi13579 is saying. The quest might have already been completed by the room creator so you can't complete it.

.13? I remember you could make respec tokens, but Idon't recall how. They were rare enough you could trade them for high runes, I remember that.

Edit: it was .13

Spirit is better for a hammerdin. Getting to the 125% FCR breakpoint gives a huge increase in killing speed, and getting there without the FCR from Spirit is tough (unless you don't have Enigma and use Viper).

no monarch is terrible the only reason sorcs use it is because it is the only way to get 4 sockets on a shield for them.

paladins have access to amazing shields with baseline 50+ all res etc. wtih very low str requirements and stat requirements
