Diablo 2 Eastern Sun Community Patch
Contents. Diablo Series Modding There is a long history of modding the games in the Diablo series, with Diablo 1, Diablo 2, and Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction all having been the subject of numerous high-quality player-made mods. Modders have been somewhat limited when working on the Diablo games since the sprite-based graphics are very difficult to modify or augment. Clever modders have found ways to modify existing graphics, and even add new ones (there are countless new spell graphics in the Median mod), but this is a much more complicated process than re-skinning characters or creating new levels in most 3D games. As such all Diablo mods still use virtually all of the original character and monster graphics/animations. Modders may be able to remake Diablo 3 in much grander fashion, when that time comes.
Diablo II: Lord of Destruction Eastern Sun. Patches for Eastern Sun from community. Unofficial version diablo 2 lord of destruction eastern sun mod. The Eastern Sun Mod for Diablo II: Lord of Destruction appears to have a big following here on DiabloFans.com, so here's an 'official' thread, for us to discuss the game.
The Diablo 3 team has consistently stated that there are no plans to support modding in Diablo 3. (There was virtually no mod support in Diablo or Diablo 2 either, until the v1.10 patch made modding the game considerably easier, and fans persevered nevertheless. It's assumed we'll see similar efforts made on Diablo 3.) See in the Diablo 3 wiki for more details and official statements.
This video below and the image to the right are examples of a Diablo II mod in action:. Improved is one advantage with playing a mod. Playing Mods Online No mods for Diablo or Diablo 2 are playable over Battle.net. While some mods are single player only, most are fully functional with multiplayer, and all active mods have forums where users can meet up to arrange TCP/IP or LAN play sessions. The multiplayer functionality of future, hypothetical Diablo 3 mods is in question, since Blizzard is unlikely to support TCP/IP play with their future titles. (Starcraft 2 will not.) Programmers in the community will likely work to crack this feature and enable online play without connecting to Battle.net. If/when this is managed, mod makers will surely take advantage of it.
Diablo and Hellfire Mods Varaya and Khan's The first Diablo 1 mod to gain widespread popularity was made by, two German Diablo fans who created their own upgraded version of the game. They soon took their modding skills further by creating a partial conversion, giving Diablo a Middle Earth theme, with numerous items, monsters, and locations inspired by Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series. This mod was expanded upon and updated numerous times once Hellfire was released. The V&K mods are no longer maintained or updated, but playable versions can still be found and downloaded. See for more details. The Hell The Hell is another Diablo/Hellfire mod that adds greatly to the original gameplay experience.
It's much more difficult than standard Hellfire, reworks the items and monsters entirely, and greatly changes the character balance. The mod remains under active development. Webpage:. Forum: Diablo II Mods There have been dozens of Diablo 2 mods over the years, most of which are no longer active and will not work with the current game version. The older ones can still be played, but you must generally reinstall Diablo 2 and only patch up to the point that the mod supports. The, though now largely inactive, was once the leading D2 mod resource, hosting dozens of mods in the early 00's.
Archival information and links to older, inactive mods can still be found there. New monsters and spells. Is the best known and most popular Diablo 2 mod.

Wiki/FAQ: Diablo III Mods Since is not released yet, there's naturally no mods for the game yet. However, there's plenty of information about Blizzard's plans for plans in the main Diablo Wiki:. Modding Tips from Laz is a major personality within the Diablo II modding scene, and he has a few tips for people wanting to make mods: 1/ Start small. Don't attempt a total conversion as your first mod. You'll just give up when you're making no progress. 2/ Never release your first mod.
You'll end up getting no downloads and quitting the mod business. I did release my first mod, and counted my lucky stars I released it under a different nickname 'just in case'. Look for D2 Inferno by Myokai to see why. 3/ Use the file guides, the tutorials and the forum search at d2mods.com.
You can learn so many things without having to post anything at all. 4/ Make sure you actually have the time to complete a mod. If your mod ends up cancelled due to lack of time, all the time you already invested in it is lost.
Reference.
There are set, rune and coupon jackpots in which upon killing a unique monster you can get a full set in one dropping or multiple runes or coupons. Getting all pieces of a set is very possible thanks to Eastern Sun’s focus on smaller group play. In fact you will most likely get multiple full sets for all characters. Ancient Scrolls unlock secret recipes for the Horadric Cube which will allow you to do many new and interesting things including re-roll items, add sockets to items even — rings, amulets and charms! — as well as many other things. Obtaining three of the same Ancient Coupon and cubing them will get you a LoD unique item of same base with at least one socket. Many new base items have been added as well, including brass knuckles and battering arms (it really is an arm), katanas for Assassins, ritualistic daggers for Necromancers, mana blades for Sorceress’, throwing axes for Barbarians, new circlets called Hachigane as well as other headgear, various types of elven chainmail and cloaks for Assassins and Sorceress’ just to name a few.
There are new runes (46 new runes based on Japanese Hiragana and 14 new runes based on Kanji (Japanese characters using Chinese script also known as Han characters)) and runewords, but you can still use the LoD runes (called decals in Eastern Sun) if you prefer some of the LoD runewords. Kanji runes being more powerful and much harder to come by are made by combining crystals and a null rune. There are 222 new runewords besides all the LoD runewords.
The runes can also be removed and reloaded with ease (without losing the runes themselves) to get closer-to-perfect/perfect stats with use of the Horadric Cube. There is a new gem, obsidian, and blemished grade has been added. Gems have been given multiple and much improved stats. You can now make gemwords now as well, there are 21 gemwords. Socketing amethysts into gloves, weapons, arrows or bolts (gemword Mighty) will give you a 2-18% CTC level 1-18 Amplify Damage on striking (chance and level depends on number and grade of gems) along with a few other abilities.
You can now buy gems at the vendors and are also easily removed by using the Cube. 46 new Runes based on Japanese Hiragana. 14 new Runes based on Kanji (Chinese Characters). A new gem type: Obsidian. A new gem grade: Blemished (between Flawless and Perfect).

You can pull out the socketed gems/runes/jewels without destroying them by cubing with a key. Many recipes like D-Stoning, Forging, Gem Melding and Tinkering to enhance items in various ways (skill bonus, ED, leech, max hp/mana, aura, etc.). Recipes to reroll various items (ex.

In Eastern Sun there are many ways to increase the effectiveness of your items in your quest to defeat Baal and the monsters lurking in the Domain.
One method that is heavily used is D-Stoning. What are D-Stones D-Stones are items that can drop from any monster in the mod.
These items are highly treasured by Eastern Sun players since they are key ingredients used in many recipes including the method to enhance your items capabilities. D-Stones can be changed to other forms of stones by right clicking on it in the inventory. The other stones are Blackmoor, Crushed Gem, Forging Hammer, Holy Symbol, Spiders Silk, and Tyranium Ore. What is D-Stoning D-Stoning is the name of the process that we use to enhance our items in particular our end gear for the difficult challenges we will face in Hell. Veteran Eastern Sun players will likely hold off on using these valuable stones until they have found their end gear. Since once a D-Stone is used in a D-Stoning operation the D-Stone can never be returned if you no longer want to use the item.
In the process of D-Stoning the item will add or increase a property on an item but at a cost of adding an increase to the level requirement on the item. The level increase will depend on the item it is used on. There is a secret recipe that will reduce the required level requirement by 1 or 2 levels depending on the item it is used on. This secret recipe is very expensive and we will discuss this recipe further on in the guide.
D-Stoning can be done to almost any item. The only items it can not be used on are charms, jewels, arrows/crossbow bolts. Important Notes. Most D-Stoning enhancements can be removed with an item called a Magic Eraser which can be bought at Charsi’s in Act 1.
It is not recommended to do so since the required level of the item will not be reduced. You may want to use this recipe if you accidentally used the wrong ingredient with the D-Stone in the D-Stoning process or if you have too many mods on an item.
Having too many mods on an item will start to make lines on the item disappear or the lines getting smaller. When you start seeing this it is time to not add anymore new enhancements. If you no longer see any lines on an item you may start to crash and get error messages. Sometimes you may not be able to load that character since the item is corrupt. D-Stoning enhancements made to a runeword/gemword are lost if you remove the runes/gems from the item using a key in the cube.
Diablo 2 Eastern Sun Patch
The enhancements are lost due to the fact that when the runeword/gemword is created the game actually makes a new item. When the runes/gems are removed the runeword/gemword is deleted in the process and reverts back to the old item. D-Stoning will not work if the item has reached a cap on a property. The caps on a property will be listed with the recipes for the D-Stoning process. D-Stoning process will not work if the item has a level requirement +99 for normal items or jewelry(rings/amulets). D-Stoning process will not work if the item has a level requirement +79 for exceptional items.

D-Stoning process will not work if the item has a level requirement +58 for elite items. Be careful when using this process since you may do one too many enhancements and can not use the item anymore unitl you either gain more level(s) or use the secret scroll recipe #50 to lower the level requirement. Gambling is greatly improved. There is a 30% chance for rares, 5% chance for sets and 5% chance for uniques from gambling and buying chits. You can even set the gambling filter to display only items you are looking for. Gold is actually important here.

Larzuk and Anya sell Gambling Chits, which can be cubed to make an item just like gambling. Buying Gambling Chits are sometimes more economical than the real gambling, because of the fixed price and the fixed chance to be upper. In LoD Act 2 mercs are the most preferred. In Eastern Sun the mercs are all well balanced and is recommended that you try out different ones to see the difference for yourself. Mercs use more various skills, including Battle Orders, Fanaticism and Conviction, have good support skills and are almost equally useful.
