Scrolls

I saw somewhere (think in the screenshots place) that you can unlock scrolls somehow. the picture showed a glowing scroll with a rune combination on it. how do i unlock the scrolls? I tried using an odd key, but it did nothing. What are odd keyes for? i got 10 of them.

some of them upgrade gems to elites, others make items rare. You have to test them. Basically, they're two items that look the same. One of these will enchant an item to rare in the cube, the other will upgrade gems to elite level. (if I remember correctly)

ok but how do i unlock scrolls or use them? or are they just for selling?

Scroll + 1 crafter/dragon item = scroll with recipie

the odd key plus the gem doesnt seem to creat and elite one do i have to do this on hell or can it be any difficulty?

[TheRipper]

oh ya how come i cant get 6 sockets on an armor ive put ash plus 6 eyes and the armor and it wont add 6 it makes like 4 or sometimes 3

Odd keys: Explained in the thread where you asked about SoJs.

6 sockets: Oooops, forgot to explain that one. The socket recipe (I still think it needs an 'i' there) works better as you level. To get six sockets, you need to be approaching level 200. The last character I remember getting this to work with is a level 174 Barb, so you might need to level a bit

Hmm... well my Sorceress is level 228 and she had tried at least ten times to get 6 sockets on a white armor, and has yet to get more than 4. I bought a sacred armor, made it white, and then socketed it and only got 4, but if I socket it while its magical I will get 6. Kinda odd.

I'm not sure if Armour works properly with that recipie.

Grrrrr.

in vanilla D2 the maximum sockets on a MAGIC armour where four, and you could only have 6 sockets on a NORMAL armour, and even then, not all types of armour.
i'm not sure if that has changed in NDX

In LoD I never remember anything more than four sockets, so I'm not sure if it was different. The max sockets for elite armour was set to four.

That reminds me... are you using a normal, exceptional or elite item?

I bought a sacred armor,

Sacred Armor = Elite

The runeword 'Silence' requires 6 sockets...

I have a level 212 zon and I have tried to get 6 sockets in bows, pikes/spears, armour, shields and I cannot get more then 4 in anything unless its rare which makes its item level higher in which case i get 5 and I cant get 2 in a belt which makes it hard to make belt runewords . so yeah its not just the armour that does not work with the recipe

[54x]

Aaaaaaaah... ITEM level. Well, THAT should be fixable for the 1.10 version. I'll go and change the socketing recipies to force item level 110.
