Takeaways

• 😀 Rune and Jewel pliers are essential tools for removing items from sockets in Diablo I Resurrected, with Jewel pliers removing only jewels and Rune pliers handling all items, including Rune words.
• 😀 Thunder Charms, which drop in Nightmare and Hell Terror zones, lower the resistances of immune monsters, but they also add a negative effect to the player. They can be used in crafting Grand Charms.
• 😀 Enemy resistances can be lowered through various curses and auras, but it’s important to note that the resistances of immune enemies only apply at 1/10th of the effect.
• 😀 The Splash Charm, also known as Collins Might, adds a splash effect to melee attacks and can be upgraded. It requires gem bag credits for upgrades and is an essential item for some melee builds.
• 😀 The new dye system introduced in 2.0.5 allows you to color your equipment such as weapons, shields, and armor. Dyes can be applied and removed using special items, with future updates expected to expand the dye options.
