So Ive been spending the past couple of months rushing characters in 1.09d, with the intention of completing their Hellforge quests in 1.10s. Over this weekend I thought I'd go ahead and forward a few characters and try to collect some runes. Unfortunately, Im having major troubles.
Now, let me start by saying it has been a long time - I mean a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time since I have done any Hellforge rushing/collecting, or played ANY kind of D2 at all really. But I could have sworn that the last time I was doing Hellforge rushes, each character that got rushed could complete the quest in both Nightmare AND Hell (and probably Normal as well, if I had taken the time to do it). However, of the 3 characters that I have opened in 1.10s so far, 1 of them has only been able to complete the quest in Normal difficulty only, and the other two havent been able to complete the quest at all!!!!!!
For the character that DID successfully complete the Hellforge quest, I think Ive figured out how he was able to do it. After Mephisto fell in 1.09d Normal difficulty, he picked up his soulstone. That soulstone was in his inventory when he created a game in 1.10s Normal difficulty. He partied up with the Sorc, got the hammer, and smashed the soulstone at the Hellforge (got an Amn rune too LOL). But now whenever I take him to the River of Flame in Nightmare or Hell, after I pick up the Hammer and send him to the Hellforge, he just starts screaming, "I cant!!!!! I cant!!!!!" or "Impossible!!!!!"
Im guessing this may be related to the fact that he isnt currently holding a Soulstone at the time we killed Hephasto and picked up the hammer. But doesnt D2 block you from picking up more than 1 soulstone on the same character? I was under the impression that as long as a rushed character had not yet completed the quest, a Soulstone would be automatically added to the Hellforge for you, and you would just have to destroy it.
I did have a read of the 1.09 Rushing Guide from the sticky thread, but it only tells you how to do the rushing. I dont need help with the rushing, because I have close to 100 characters parked in Act IV Hell who are trying to earn me some runes.
I turn to you now, the Single Player Forum, in my hour of need. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong, and what I need to do to fix it? Someone, ANYONE, please help. Im begging you. If it turns out Ive made a grevious error somewhere in this project Im going to be having a bit of a nutty.
