[Help] New player stuck in Nightmare – messed up my Spirit base 😭

Hey everyone,

I’ve just recently come back to Diablo II: Resurrected after a long break, and I’m running a Sorceress (classic Frozen Orb + Teleport build).

Everything was going great in Normal until I tried to make my first Spirit Sword… and made the classic rookie mistake :sweat_smile:
I didn’t check the item level of the Crystal Sword I used for Larzuk’s socket quest — it only rolled 3 sockets instead of 4.
So… no Spirit for me :sob:

Now I’m in Nightmare Act 2, and it’s been rough — mana constantly empty, slow cast rate, dying to bugs in the Maggot Lair and ghosts in Arcane Sanctuary. I didn’t realize missing one socket could hurt this much.

If anyone happens to have a spare Spirit Sword, or even just a 4-socket Crystal/Broad/Long Sword base, I’d be super grateful! I’d love to keep the momentum going and finally reach Hell difficulty this time :fire:

Thanks so much in advance :folded_hands:
