yep - 2x trip sock will punch 3 holes in your circlet.

cows are pretty tough - the come in very fast and in groups. A group is advised for new players.

Wirt's in trade: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3285

there is some sort of +/- level thingy with circlets and rares that I don't remember. Ask someone to bring you a high lvl circlet and then roll it using adament glyphs rather than constantly gambling. Much more efficient and better results.

Doing anything you are unfamiliar with solo in HC is not recommended.

here is details on gambling if you want to look in to it: http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/ba ... ling.shtml

or you could just be lazy and gamble it when u are a few lvls over 45

There might be a misunderstanding between Blue and Benjamin regarding the level of the item. I hope this information and examples helps clarify things. This information does not extend to Crafting.

1) All items have two levels to consider: iLvl (item level, this is not observable, this determines mods that can spawn on the item), and rLvl (requirement level, this is the observed level required to use the item, it is generally the level of the highest mod or the base item itself, whichever is higher).
2) Mods have two levels as well, iLvl that they can appear on, and rLvl used to determine the char level needed to use that item. The mod for +3SkillTab has iLvl=60 and rLvl=45.
3) Circlets have an rLvl of 45 in HU, so they will never be lower than char level 45 to use. If the circlet spawned with a mod with rLvl 51, then the circlet would be level 51 to use.
4) The iLvl of a circlet depends on the monster that dropped it, or the character level that gambled or imbued it. Just like in Vanilla, the iLvl of Circlets gets a +3 bonus for the mods that can appear on it, gambling yields iLvl within -5 to +4 of the char level, and imbue gives the item a +4 iLvl bonus. For example, if you imbue a circlet at char level 53, then the circlet should be capable of mods that require an iLvl of 60 (e.g. +3SkillTab needs iLvl60).
5) Rolling a rare item using an Adamant Glyph does not change the iLvl. For example, if you wanted to roll a +3SkillTab Circlet, then gamble it with a char at level 62 (since the iLvl could be as low as 60 when gambling in this case), or imbue a plain circlet at level 53, and then roll that circlet using any character (since the rolling recipe does not consider char level).

If there are specific mods that you are after, look at MagicSuffix.txt and MagicPrefix.txt for the iLvl needed to spawn them.

ilvl=item lvl, the mod for +3 tab skill needs to be ilvl 60
rlvl=requirement lvl, this has nothing to do with what the ilvl is. it only affect at what lvl the char can wear it.
so to gamble at lvl 62, it will ensure you a ilvl 60 because gambling will use char lvl to determine ilvl.

If there are specific mods that you are after, look at MagicSuffix.txt and MagicPrefix.txt for the iLvl needed to spawn them.

Here's something u may like Ben: i got a +3 traps rare circ ft in hc, and you can use quads sockets in helms here, well maybe its a bit too expensive for you right now and thats why u wanted to use triples...

Well so if you still havent found your circ and can offer some gems or runes for one /m *dieu
