purple named vs. red named

[avatar28]

ok, what's the difference here?

As far as I know

-yellow = weak named
- orange = medium named
- Red = hard named (can't insta kill)
-purple???

red named is the end buss in a quest, purple name is an end boss of a raid.

where can I find a yellow name? the only yellow names I can think of are people you can talk to.

[avatar28]

can't remember the exact quest.. but a couple of harbour quests had a few hobgoblins that were yellow named (even after they started attacking you)

I think he means the amber named critters

[Drekisen]

summoned by enemy casters or creatures that u summoned that are dispelled and r now ur enemies. The color is like a dark yellow and it is not to be confused with the brighter yellow of NPC's

[Docta_PoPo]

not the end one the ambassador optional guy is yellow named

Any blanket difference in immunities between reds and purples?

My rule of thumb is "anything fun is useless against the Pit Fiend."

I dunno, my holy shortsword of greater lawful outsider bane is pretty fun. As is my Silver Bow with Silver arrows

OK, yeah, there is fun DPS. I have a nice +3 transmuting BS of pure good, and a Silver bow with silver arrows on my fighter. Nothing clever though...
