According to that, it would be impossible. Besides, the Resistances would also be impossible. In order to have resistances that high, you would have to have multiple resistance affixes, putting the number of affixes above the max of 6 (I believe). Also, Resist all affixes above 20 can only be on Magic items, not rare items.

Based on the above research, I would say yes, its too good to be true. Just check the Arreat Summit website like I did to check in the future (although I'm not sure if its 100% accurate...I believe there is an updated one somewhere on the forums)

Don't take me at my word though. This is all from other sources, and not from my personal knowledge, so get a corroborating opinion =)

Re: This amulet possible?

its a crafted amulet if that helps, im really bad with the prefix and suffix things...

Re: This amulet possible?

No, it's not possible. The level req is wrong and it can't be a caster craft because it has too many additional affixes and lacks the mana regen one.

Re: This amulet possible?

Ah, I assumed it was rare =) Silly me.

But yeah, it shouldn't be possible.

Re: This amulet possible?

I would have been interested to know if it was crafted or yellow but in short: that amulet is hacked. Crafted items can get a high number of affix/suffixes but as stated above +2 Sorc skills is has a level requirement of 67. If it's an SP item the ATMA readouts can also be used. I'm seeing an issue with the resistance values too, but the level requirement is enough proof for me.

Affix tables and Item Generation Guides are excellent resources.

If that amulet was offered on this forum, you should contact the relevent Trade Moderator.

Re: This amulet possible?

It most likely hacked, and most likely duped.

As far as I know, each of those can spawn on a Crafted Amulet, but not all at the same time. The only thing I am iffy on if the life/mana on it can get that high normally. And of course the level of it is wrong.

Although you may want to try the statistics forum to be sure.

EDIT - Better answer above me

Nitpick: Crafted amulets with +2 <class> skills have a character level requirement of 89.

Rares have a level67 requirement (as do most of the sets/uniques, with Seraph's Hymn being the only exception I know of, with a level65 requirement, although that's not <class> skills). [/ramble]


... but you're entirely right that the amulet is hacked.

Re: This amulet possible?

It is a 1.08 Sorceress Craft (which had a chance of innate +sorc skills...) Those things should all have been wiped out by 1.09 (like 1.08 Shakos and Arkraines) but a few survived, I know not how though. They are virtually ALL duped... and heavily...

Re: This amulet possible?

Hey, what if for example I make mistake and trade for such a hacked / duped item?? I can get ban? or I just wont be able to use it? or will it just disappear?

 

[Mimeaphone]

Re: This amulet possible?

I've heard of items disappearing. Don't think you would get banned.

Re: This amulet possible?

Too lazy to check, but could it be so that he typod and meant something like +2 cold skills? Would ther amulet be possible then?

If you use a duped item on battle.net you will probably have it deleted by ruststorm scanning for dupes. No banning though.

If you however knowingly try to trade a hacked item in these forums you will risk a ban from these forums.

Re: This amulet possible?

@jakotaco, +2 <tree> skills on crafts still have a character level requirement of 52 (if I remember correctly).

And, there are 6-8 "random" mods on that amulet, when the most you can get on a craft is 4 "random" mods. For "random" mods, that amulet has:
1. +2 skills,
2. strength,
3. life,
4. FCR (only 5-10% of the FCR is inherent to the craft, for the remaining 10% you need the amulet to spawn with the 'of the apprentice' suffix, which is a "random" mod)
5. mana (same as FCR - the value is too high to be inherent to the crafted item - it would need a "random" mod to boost it to what's listed),
6. resists*

*actually, resists could be 1-3 mods, depending mods on if 23 poison resists were omitted from Thirteenth's posting (making it a "prismatic" resistances amulet), or if each of those 3 elements individually spawned with +23 resist. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the highest "prismatic" resistance on a rare/crafted amulet is +20, but individual elements can get up to +40. I think +23 resist cold/fire/lightning/poison is only possible on magic amulets or uniques (Mara's).

[edit: "prismatic" is capped at +20 on rare & crafted ammys]


So, adding that all up, I would say there's no freaking way that amulet is legit. None whatsoever.




And just a clarification on your statement about our trade policies... remove the word "knowingly" and your statement is more accurate. If you knowingly trade a hacked item, you will be banned. If you can convince the moderator of your innocent intent, you might get a harsh warning (good luck with that though - ignorance is not a good excuse). Odds are you'll be banned without exception if the item is offered for trade.

If you think one of the items you want to trade away is hacked, PM the mod first and ask them for advice - they won't ban you if you behave with reasonable caution and courtesy (they'll actually appreciate it a lot).

Re: This amulet possible?

If you find a magic item called "cruel balrog blade of swiftness", then "cruel" is the prefix and "swiftness" is the suffix. If you talk about them both in general, they're called affixes. A rare item can spawn with up to 6 affixes. Magic items can get better affixes than rare items, but not as many (only 1 prefix and 1 suffix). You can read more on the arreat summit, where they also list which items can get which affixes

Re: This amulet possible?

A rare item can spawn with up to 6 affixes.

I'm moderately sure that it's split on rares too... a maximum of 3 prefixes, and a maximum of 3 suffixes, for a max total of 6 affixes.

Other than the fact that crafts are limited to a maximum of 4 affixes (not counting the ones that are inherent to the crafting-type), I'm not as certain that it also follows the same 50-50 split as rares. I believe it does.
