v1.00 Items question

[Kahn]

Hello!

I'm trying to complete a v1.00 HG. I'm on my fourth character so far (I'm playing HC and I kept on dying, but I'm feeling more confident now) and I made this excel file to help me track everything.
I found an Azurewrath two days ago and it is slightly different from what I remember, it was supposed to be a Phase Blade base but I found it in a Cristal Sword. There is also the question of the Hellplague sword which I never found so far in my 4 character journey, highest I got was act 3 Hell.

Are there items that do NOT exist in my file?
Are there items that DO exist but are not in my file?

I'll upload my .ods excel file (LibreOffice) and in case you guys cannot open that one a .pdf version.
I also took a screenshot of the Azurewrath with the help of the Jamela editor which I use to mule items since I cannot take a screenshot in game, probably has something to do with my Linux Mint + D2DX setup. Been lurking for around a year on the forum so I think I already read everything here but might have missed something, anyway, in case anyone has time can you please take a look?

Also, thank you for making my journey back in time possible. Much appreciated!

There are definitely items that don’t drop in 1.00 that do drop in 1.05b, so unless there is a very good reason, I would basically only recommend playing 1.05b for the most stable classic experience. Lances are an example of a base that doesn’t drop in pre 1.04.

Oh i'm doing the meme builds that I never got to play or could be more fun in another patch:
-before 1.03 for the BG/CE since "Corpse Explosion (Necromancer) Reduced the explosion damage so that it is not scaled up for each additional player in the game." and "The Iron Maiden skill now heals a Blood Golem based on the amount of damage done to it rather than the maximum life of the monster attacking it." in 1.04
-before 1.04 for a Bowzon since " The Amazon’s Strafe skill now correctly enhances base bow damage rather than total bow damage & The Amazon’s Guided Arrow skill now enhances base bow damage rather than total bow damage."
And tbh I just have fun walking my way throughout every patch.


Ok, so that means that all the normal uniques do still drop in 1.00? It's just that I have the bonus of Azurewrath?

I’m not sure about the Azurewrath thing specifically. But in terms of the BG+IM, that does still work in 1.05b since I Baronned that build before .

You can see me doing p8 hell cows in 1.05b here:
