Eth Oath: grey is grey?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

Hi all,

yesterday Stefan and I had a little chat about how to obtain an eth
sword with 4 sockets, in order to write Oath.

We found some nice eth Colossus Sword of normal quality, which can
have one to five sockets.

As for Oath you need four socket, but Larzuk would have made five of
them, we wondered, if the cube recipe would work:

[from: <http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/cube.shtml>]
|Ral Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Normal Weapon = Socketed
|Weapon of same type
|The number of sockets created will vary. The item must be normal and
|unsocketed. Low-quality items and superior items do not work. The item
|gets 1-6 sockets, randomly. However, the number of sockets is then
|restricted by the maximum number of sockets that base item with that
|ilvl can have. For example, if you have an item that can only have 2
|sockets, there's a 5/6 chance of getting 2 sockets and a 1/6 chance of
|getting 1 socket.

Does anybody of you know, if this one can be used with eth weapons?

As far as I know, the socketing cube recipes work fine with white
labeled necro wands, sorc staffs, barb/druid helms, assa claws and so
on, with mods on them, they only need to be normal, so no superior or
low-level ones.

We know about "gold not being gold" (reg label of runewords and
uniques), but what about grey labels? LoD has socketed items that
have grey labels, but an eth mod results in a grey label, too.

Eth is not really a mod, but more of a quality mod
To be more exact, its a basic attribute,
so i guess it wouldnt effect the cube recipe.

Yes, it works, and the weapon/armor even stays ethereal .

Yep, tried it this with an eth longsword after having started this
thread, was too curios.

>and the weapon/armor even stays ethereal .

Yes, that was the real question: is "ethereal" just a mod like all
others (enhanced durability/defence/damage), or is it an exception to
the rule, as e.g. barb helms keep their specific mods when being
transformed with the recipe above.

I think the different labelling (grey instead of white) is what
confuse■d me a bit.
