Your guides have been immensely helpful to me. Lots of very important pieces of information that is just missing from all the written guides I've read on wowhead, icy veins, etc. Thank you so much

Gratz on 150k, you are doing a great amount of work for this community!

Always thought you were a good combination of personable/interesting/good at the game when it came to being a streamer. Hopefully, you can make it big on D2R

Love ❤, kind of cool playing the game again with some sweet starter gear, I was completely missing out on this game

Hi! Thank you for the video. Exactly what I was searching for. Searching for the bases for Spirits and Insight for Paladin and Sorceress, so special thanks for the paladin shields info!

Thank you thank you, new player to D2 playing D2R and this explanation was very clear and useful to a noob

Fun fact: Diablo in hell has the highest chance of dropping a monarch, which is obviously the reason why you'll most probably get it from any other monster in chaos or ancient tunnels or any other high density area. There are just not that many Diablos in chaos sanctuary and there are a lot of other monsters that can drop a monarch with a not much lower chance than Diablo has.

Crypt/mausoleum by blood raven has a 1/6000 chance to drop monarch from any mob. Usually farm that for a couple hours and I have one before I even best act 1. Not to mention there’s an armor rack that spawns as well.

Thank you for the great videos Llama!

Thanks buddy. Nice and informative as always. Much appriciated.

This video just saved me from trying to socket quest a kite shield in A5 Normal haha

Thank you, Llama! Always enjoy the youtube voice.

Love the guide although i remember from way back when, that larzon was usally something you wanted to save for unique unsocked items, but i suppose now that you dont need mule accounts to swap over, that the quest there might be less important, since it's fast to level one over in normal and do it that way?

Thanks for being informative! Huge help

8:00 - Insight information start

Thank you so much for this video. You are truly the greatest of all time. D2 - GOAT !!!! Have a nice day my friend!

Would you want a piece that low for insight though? Or is this just for leveling purposes?

Solid info in a nutshell. Thank you!

Love it, started playing d2 lod, so much fun.

As another tip. Since we now have Shared Stash without PlugY you can just make a one off character to run for the socket quest if you don't want to chance it with the cube. Not the quickest way but is guaranteed.

Indeed, i've been thinking of doing that I wonder which class would be the fastest to do so and what would be the fastest way to do it if you have a friend, like if he creates a tp to andariel in act 1 on your new char will it give you the quest to kill it and unlock act 2, before doing the same thing until you reach act 5 ?

how does the crystal sword have such good stats? do they drop like that for you?

Are you gonna be doing a review in the console version?

If you just progress through the game you can find bases in act 1 nightmare. White items dropped in there max at 4os. This way you have a chance at getting the bases you need during your playthrough without having to do extra farming.

What's a reasonable polearm base to use for Insight? I want my mercenary to be doing some damage, so I should be aiming to find socketed exceptional/elite items right?

If you have a friend (or 2 accounts) it only takes ~1/2 an hour to get a fresh character to normal A5 and do the Larz quest. Its likely going to be faster to create a quick mule, rush to A5, do the quest and get max sockets then taking the gamble on the cube recipe and potentially having to re-farm your base (IE Monarch). I did this all the time to get all my unique gear its sockets.

Thank you so much for this video!

Thank you for making this video. I wish I found it 2 days ago, before I tried to make INSIGHT in a spear! Ultra fail. :(

not related, but: i found a 3os 13%ed scarab husk. is that valuable or trashcan because not archon plate or dusk shroud?

does the default dmg on weapons matter when turning them into a runesword weapon? For example, a 4 socket broad sword from normal vs 4 socket broad sword from hell

Thanks for your advice! I was able to get a white crystal sword and use the socket recipe to make a Spirit for my trap assassin. I then got lucky on a 4 socket halberd drop to make an insight for my merc. A better polearm base would be nice, but the runes are fairly common so I can find another in the future.

Awesome 👹🤺🌞 keep up the great work

If you chance socket in the cube and it doesn't work, can you then socket quest the shield??

What’s the earliest I can find a 4os pole arm or 4os broad sword without having to Larkzuk it

MrLlama, the guide I'm following never mentioned not to save the Larzak quest. The noob I am, thought I needed to do it to proceed. Now it says I need to craft 2 spirits (1norm/1nightmare) which I cant do. Is there a way for me to take it from here? It's an offline character so cant ask someone to just trade it for me... Do I rly have to make another character n take it all the way to Act 5 norm, only for a socket...

Still don't get it. I found grey broadsword with two sockets in cow lvl. Of I take it to larsik will he make it with 4 sockets? Does it have to be white and not grey? Does it matter that it dropped with 2 sockets??

Will the socket cube recipe for socketing weapons make an ethereal item non-ethereal?

Great guide for newbies bro thanks

As a necro summoner, should i save larzic socket ability for something else later? Or is it worth it to use it on spirit?

Nice runes in the background. ;)

I have a 3 socket Longsword and broadsword but my larzik in NM won't add the 4th.. any clues?

Thanks Mr Llama I love you

Got my earliest Monarch in Hell, Mausoluem/Crypt (burial grounds). They are often undervalued/overlooked areas for farming.

the meditation aura of my insight turns on and off constantly. How can I fix this?

@mrllamasc Does this change with the terror zones?

Can't you upgrade recipe the kite shield twice for an early Monarch?

For some strange reason KZread says I can get some insight on insight with this video. I watched it twice because I must have missed it but.....I did learn stuff about unrelated stuff

Yo! When you said guaranteed 4 socket from Larzuk. It means normal Nm and Hell? Thank you.

i just got d2r for nintendo switch last week. is it possible for me to craft the spirit runeword despite there being an running ladder season?

So Paladins are a sought out class because of Spirit and Insight early. Sorceress is sought out because mobility and glass cannon. And in D2 (like D3) damage is king? Did I get that right?

So if I want 4 socket spirit sword I need to be 26-41lvl or the item should be 26-41 lvl ? I do not understand this part. What is that "I LVL" you talking about ?

I have been having trouble with the insight rune word where the meditation aura will turn off and on every 3 seconds or so, so I'm constantly hearing the "EeeEEeEee" of the meditation aura over and over and over and over and over. When I look it up nobody has the same problem as me, so I have no idea what to do about it. Has anyone else had the same problem as me?

@MrllamaSC did you have to stat up to 150 STR?

Hi. I'm a lvl 60 necro looking to make Spirit monarch. My question is should I be speccing strength on lvl now? It would take me about 20 lvls without any item that has +str

when he says you can get 4 soc crystal from baal.. does he mean baal alone or will one that drops from throne room count

How does a Sorc get 156 Str for Spirit Shield? I am only 43 and stopped at 55 str for my spirit sword. Am I supposed to invest 100 points into str for the spirit shield or just pray gear I get eventually has high str along with charms? Thanks!

If I got a White crystal sword in Nightmare, will larzuk be able to give 4 open sockets that?

If I got a 2-socket crystal sword in Normal cow, will Larzuk be able to add 2 additional sockets to make it 4 in total?

can you get 4os sword right at Normal Cow? I used up my Larzuk

Yo i screwed up and used Larzuk already on a stupid item on normal. Im now on Act 1 Nightmare. Since i would love to have this item for nightmare would i be better off using that cube recipe for this?

using plugy, i found the AMN rune in chaos sanctuary normal; does plugy modify the loot tables?

etheral monarch, lower str req and higher armor, yes it can break but thats only when you block right? spirit is cheap so if it does you can just make another anyway?

So did something get changed since the original or something? My brother found a 4os Dragon shield the week after D2R came out.

For a caster class, where would they get the 156 strength to use a monarch? Is there a point when should one stop pumping strength and get the rest with gear?

I have found a Monarch at Tower lv. 5 Hell but when I socket it my self it only gave me 3 sockets.

So Cube a white crystal sword with the socket recipe will give 4 sockets up to 100% ??????

It is still unclear if Normal Cows can drop a Crystal Sword or a Polearm with 4 sockets ALREADY in them? Conflicting information everywhere online. So far I haven't seen this drop. I want both a Sprit and an Insight but I only got 1 Larzuk quest and I don't have Amn runes for the cube recipe.

Is it my impression, or the Insight runeword is not working properly? The mana regen don't have the same eficiency as it has on the legacy version of the game. I'm using it and I'm constantly without mana.
