The "LoD Classic Style MOD" has got again some changes/fixes!
- Hirelings have their "Experience/Level" value now reduced by 2/3, resulting in 3 times faster leveling. This is a bit less than in the last MOD update, but still fast enough.
- The Countess Rune Drops in the last two MOD updates were accidentally just the same as in the original patch, because I had reorganized the rune classes. This has been fixed, and the Countess should drop again as good as she used to in the MOD.
- Gambling Chances for Uniques are now the same for all difficulty levels (6 times better than in the original).
- A slightly weaker version of the Rune Word "Leaf" especially for Sorceress Orbs has been added.
NOTES:
This rune word (Tir Rune + Ral Rune), which gives +3 skill points to all Fire Skills (Sorceress, Druids) when used in 2-handed Staves, is now also available for the 1-handed Sorceress Orbs! "Leaf" in Orbs however gives just +2 instead of +3 to all (Sorceress) Fire Skills, because the 1-handed Orbs allow the use of an additional shield.
This special version of "Leaf" for Sorceress Orbs is only active in this MOD, and will not work anymore in the original game!
- The Gem Drops in Normal difficulty have been tweaked a bit for better balance.
Last but not least, an important hint!
Even though the Single-Player "Patch_D2.mpq" is mostly not used for playing in the Closed Battle.net, you should always copy the original "Patch_D2.mpq" back to the "Diablo II" installation folder before connecting to the Battle.net. One reason, for example, is the display of the Immunities/Resistances for normal monsters in "Hell" difficulty. These are taken from the client-side MPQ on your PC, so if you use the MOD on Battle.net, you won't see those Immunities for the normal "Hell" monsters anymore.
The updated MOD can be downloaded as always here:
