Prenerfs[edit]

A short attempt to create a list of prenerf item categories.

What are prenerfs?[edit]

My preferred definition for prenerfs is "items that are of finite supply", meaning that can not be created/dropped in unlimited amounts. This is very close to "everything that can no longer be created in game", but also includes things like minipets that can be created with codes or from items (which are themselves of finite supply).

A different, yet still interesting category, is "prenerf derivatives" - items that can be created in unlimited amounts, but only through resources that are themselves "prenerfs" in a way. This includes, for example, Olias' Resignation, which can be created freely, but only by characters who have the discontinued quest Gain Olias, and Whimsical Essence, which can be created freely, but only by having a quest that requires the prenerf Broken Toy.

This also brings up the idea of "non item prenerfs" - like quests that are no longer available.

Prenerf item categories[edit]

WIP - for now this is just a general list to see that nothing is missed. In bold are the most common ones.

Weapons[edit]

  • Green weapons - see Unholy's documentation
  • Unconditional inherent mods
  • Dual reduction shields
  • Mausoleum weapons
  • Discontinued ranges - req/damage combinations or mod ranges or gold values that no longer drop
  • Staves without Half Skill Recharge
  • Some caster items with a restoration req
  • A healing req grim cesta from cities of ascalon
  • HoD weapons
  • Swamp Club
  • Non customized versions of weapons that are otherwise always customized
  • Some more really niche skins/rarity/name combos

Weapon mods[edit]

  • Weapon mods with ranges that no longer drop
  • Collector mods that were discontinued - 25% charr mods
  • White staff wrappings?

Runes[edit]

  • Major runes with -50 health (both purp and blue) (also unsalvaged)
  • Runes that have the wrong color / icon
  • Unsalvaged runes with the wrong color (like a purp minor. not sure what it would salvaged to)

Armor[edit]

  • Festival hats that are wearable as armor, and therefore also rune-able and infuse-able. Always customized.

Minipets[edit]

  • Customized miniatures
  • Discontinued/limited miniatures like kuuna / grey giant / pig

Dyes[edit]

  • Mixed dyes
  • Dye remover
  • Dyes with different gold value

Collectable items[edit]

  • Jade Wind Orbs
  • Zaishen Medallions
  • Naga Fangs
  • Winter Gifts

Quest Items[edit]

  • Broken Toy

Non-existant[edit]

  • Brick of Mud and Clay Bricks are defined in the game, but probably never existed, so not strictly prenerf...






Pseudo-solo Black Widow Charmer[edit]

Around 2007, before it was possible to add 7 heroes to a party, and with no henchmen, The Underworld was a tough place for a single player, and specifically, taming a Black Widow was a tricky task.

This build uses minion master and a vampiric weapon to easily create a small minion army which can take out small groups of enemies. This can be used to complete Wrathful Spirits and spawn a spider.

Toon Checklist[edit]

Quests that reward one handed melee health mods[edit]

I've only checked List of Prophecies quests. This would ideally be expanded to "Salvageable Quest Rewards Mods" to include also things like The Hunter's Horn and Trouble in the Woods.
