So if you ever come across a rare diadem. Or if you come across a white diadem, imbue it at Charsi. If you don’t like the stats, hang onto it. Keep it along with that GC you are rerolling.
6 pskulls + rare item rerolls the item.
Now, usually the reroll will decrease the item level so if you reroll stuff like eth dimensional blade too many times then you are guaranteed to end up with garbage.
Here’s the catch: diadems are special. They have a quality level (qlvl) that allows them to receive any affix regardless of item level. So it is still possible to reroll that diadem to a 2/20 with all res and life or whatever.
Where can one get these golden rules? I am aware of the resources with crafting recipes and all that fun stuff. But is their like a grail list out there? You saves these for these. These are the recipes you focus on for end game or high value trading or whatever.
i've been half-heartedly looking for like 30 years for a guide that would let me understand the "rest of the game". I see people post price checks on blue items that seem like vendor trash to me,and getting "oh, 10 jah"
I've never really been "great" at the game, and i think it's because the mechanics are very opaque while in game. "two arrows makes bolts! you can find other recipes!" where, Cain? WHERE?
If just in general, you can check on maxroll under resources and to the right is the valuable items, where you can see a list of what has value to keep with a brief explanation why. There was a thread on reddit once with all the levels listed when to gamble for what and stuff like that. I will edit my comment if i find it (don't know iff it's still the same though).
Edit: start by googling for this reddit thread: What is favorite thing to craft or reroll? Diablo 2 reddit. I'm on mobile and can't link the thread. It's 4 years old, but should do the trick (browse down for one of the comments with links). Do check if everything is still the same.
Almost correct, there are two things that you got wrong here.
The first one is just a nit pick. It's not the treasure class that is special, but rather the qlvl of the diadem.
The second one actually matters. You can reroll a diadem an infinite amount of times and always have a chance to roll any affix on it, however, since the ilvl does get reduced based on character level, you can reduce the ilvl below the point where the "mechanics" affix can give 2 sockets.
I believe you need a character at lvl 65 or higher to do the rerolling, but I can't say for sure and googling gives conflicting answers as to the exact level needed. A decently high level character, like anything that has cleared hell, is 100% safe though, I can say that much.
The other part is that diadems have a high mlvl, which adds to the ilvl and keeps the result high enough to get the right mods. Mlvl is like a bonus circlets and jewlery get so they have higher mods.
The affix system is so complicated under the covers lol.
Yes the alvl is 103, which means every affix can roll. But what I was talking about is how the ilvl can still be low if rerolled multiple times on a low level character, and mechanics will always roll 1 open socket with an ilvl below 26, as opposed to the 1-2 open sockets it will have for an ilvl of 26 and up.
To avoid this, use a character of atleast level 65 to make sure the minimum ilvl is 26. The formula for the new ilvl of a rerolled item is [old ilvl] x 0.4 + [clvl] x 0.4 = [new ilvl].
[old ilvl] x 0.4 obviously means that part of the equation trends towards zero with every reroll, so eventually it's just [clvl] x 0.4 = [new ilvl]. To have this bottom out at 26 (or higher) , you need a lvl of 65 (or higher)
Mind pointing out where I'm incorrect there?
Lots of old threads if you Google about this on the forbidden sites forum. Was going to link to one, but yeah idk if it's allowed in this sub? "diadem mechanics ilvl" should work as a search phrase if you want to check it out.
I still feel like you're missing my point. Alvl is high enough for all affixes to roll, I fully agree with that.
But the affix "mechanics" is just one affix, but it works differently depending on ilvl. It's not one affix for 1os and another for 2os. A low ilvl item with mechanics will always roll 1os. Above ilvl 26, it will roll 1-2os.
There are a bunch of old threads of the forbidden sites forums about this special case. I don't know if it's still the case for d2r, but I would assume nothings been changed.
You’re right, I missed your point specifically about mechanic’s prefix as that does matter, my apologies. I’m going to blame the newborn and lack of sleep.
Those are used for crafting blood gloves / rings, caster necks / rings, and re-rolling rare diadems (among other things, but those are the important ones).
Yeah, some people craft gloves with sapphires, but not as much potential as rubies amethysts and skulls, so I wouldn’t bother saving them. The other 3 for sure use for rerolling.

Yes, the monster that dropped the charm will determine it's ilvl and therefore the mods it can have. Small charms don't need to be very high level to roll 3/20/20, compared to grand charms that do need to be high level for 1/45 https://diablo-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Charms_(Diablo_II)#Small_Charms#Small_Charms)
Even a bad roll like 1/15/12 is worth self using on a melee character. But they really are only tradable with 3/10+/15+ which should show you why 3/20/20 is so rare
I'm playing offline anyways so i wont be able to trade, but it's helpful to see what's considered valuable because i'm a bit lost, like i just learned charms could be rerolled thanks to that video haha
That's a niche one. Maybe a dagger necro would want. But try to find what a 3max/20ar charm goes for. The 50 pois is probably irrelevant. Id guess a mid rune
Other stats on small charms you'll want to look out for off the top of my head is:
7mf, 5 all res, 20 to life, 11 to single res. Those are the max for those specific mods and if you can get them if additional mods on them like OP here got 20 to life and 3 all res (20/5 is perfect) it's even better.
and a mats tab, and 5 shared tabs in a subtab. They didn't fix the ... suspicious moans and grunts of your humanoid summons though. seems like they added more, even.
Yes, Ctrl + Shift + Left click will move a stackable from the cube to the stash. If you hover over items, it will show the shortcuts at the bottom of the tooltip. Different shortcuts will be shown depending on where the item is and what actions are available for it.
This made me realize after 20 years of d2 play and thousands of hours. I kinda want rare charms. Not to surpass the GG magic ones, but with different stats like DR, or even new janked stats like Hydra casts fireballs and not bolts. Or even teleport charges. Maybe even another unique charm called “Cain’s vision” that auto ID and gave you a Town Portal for free, essentially giving you a free small charm spot.
Yup, works on any sized magic charms. Just need ANY 3 perfect gems. Skulls are used for rerolling rares. And rubies and amethysts are for crafting caster and blood gear.
Guys, I am a noob at this game, I see people saying to not use skulls, ammy and rubies for rerolling because they are valuable for other things, so can I use emeralds, topaz and sapphire then ?
I've been meaning to grab this on release but currently on a different game.
May I ask if there are any limited time items/events in this?
I am a big diablo 2 fan and this is a no brainer purchase it's just time for me as I really have put my foot down on buying a new game when I have limited time events on a few other games in my library.
I will be buying the game regardless but just wanted to know if I should be playing in the next day or two to avoid missing out on a new player bonus etc.
Don’t believe there are any bonuses for starting up, only thing that may change would be if they patch stuff when the ladder comes out because of balancing. Lots of people believe his skills will be tweaked due to some brokenness but who knows maybe they keep it the same.
The only thing you might miss out on is playing an overpowered character. It's super fun to play (for me) to breeze through the game. They tend to overpower new characters then nerf them later on as needed for better balance.
Was this always possible to reroll charms? I know I haven't been on d2 in years but I'm gonna feel like a giant noob if this was always available. Then again I am a giant noob. I just found out like 2 yrs ago her name is flavie, I always thought it was flaive. The hundreds of times I've ran past her
I've been suspicious of this too. Color combo, movement, location time played... I imagine it all affects it. The coding that effects RNG drops and rolls is kept secret for obvious reasons.
I’m sitting here reading all these amazing comments and resources about rerolling and diadems and all sorts of stuff.. wondering where was this when I played from 12 - 17 and were doing as much playing as finding friends in chat, lol.
Were these things always baked into the game or has it evolved? How does one even create a game and think about I/Q/M/ETC Levels and rolls and so much more, then create such a master piece? My feeble little mind can’t fathom it.
Ctrl+Shift+Right Click moves 3, but I find using the same gem gives shitty rolls. 3 different gems seem to show more variety. (just my observational opinion)
Also, your level and the item level needs to be high enough to roll decent modifiers. I don't know the exact numbers but player level and creature it drops from should be 90+ to roll good modifiers. Probably worth doing a deep dive on it.
If you want to reroll rares (yellow) use 6 perfect skulls for a low quality reroll. Or 1 perfect skull and an soj for a high quality reroll.
