Giving an update here, just before facing Duriel, in case Aeclipsia gets slain. So, Aeclipsia reached level 32. Farmed Normal Chaos Sanctuary until level 30. Now in A2 NM, my damage output is starting to be low, and it seems the way drop tables are made in 1.05b, I cannot find another Long...

1.09b for me. Though I like 1.09d too because of the broken CtC, making Oculus the ultimate perfect Sorc weapon. But it also breaks Schaeffer's Hammer.

Hello fellow time travellers, I haven't been playing D2 much recently, but I've been wanting to try an Amazon in 1.05b HC as a challenge and try to see if the Amazon in this patch is as underpowered as I've been reading everywhere. I'm trying to take it at a slower pace. My long term goal, if...

I remember doing something similar a while back (going from 95 to 97 only from Mephisto). We can probably estimate how many runs you did, if we know how much XP Pindle gives at clvl 97 (assuming you were on P1). We'd also have to account that you probably kill some of his minions everytime...

Are the racks the same in 1.08 as they were in 1.07? I can't remember. If they are, then you can run Lower Kurast racks for a lot of good items, such as Arkaine's Valor. And like @galaxyhaxz mentionned, the Souls Ritual will allow you to reach the MF breakpoints for 1.08. Maybe (?) it could...

I just reached level 15. I found a few uniques on the way there, see screenshots below. I also managed to max my gold (100k in stash, 140k on me) and gambled it all on Leather Armors, hoping for Blinkbat (for Fast run/walk) and Chain Boots, hoping for Threads of Cthon (for Fastest run/walk)...

I found a Reddit thread where someone went all the way up to level 20. He managed to gamble multiple unique items, including Bonesnap and Raven Claw. What's interesting about Raven Claw, is that it is the only way to use a skill that is not a Level 1 Barbarian skill, since the bow shoots...

So I reached level 14. Now I do Blood Raven runs, only killing uniques on the way there and popping chests, rocks and corpses on the way there. Luckily, on my seed there is a shrine that is often an Experience Shrine on the way to the Burial Grounds. At level 13, Cold Crow gives more XP (218)...

Now I'll have to find the levels at which we can gamble each base item. I saw a thread on Reddit of a guy gambling a Maul in the Shareware. However, the tables I see online says mauls are gamblable only from level 21 onwards. I doubt anyone made it to level 21 in the Shareware (other than...

I was too lazy to search on the Wayback Machine for information about items for pre-lod versions. Especially gems, since their stats changed multiple times over the patches. Then I remembered I had the official Diablo 2 strategy guide stored in an old box at home. The Strategy Guide is based on...

So I reached level 13. Now the only monsters still giving more than 1 XP are: Gargantuan Beasts (2) Hungry Deads (2) Dark Ranger (12) Unique monsters Blood Raven I found one unique item and one set item on the way there. And also got my first perfect gem from shrines Does anyone know where I...

I don't know much about MPQ files, do they contain graphics as well? If so, they probably removed a lot of graphics to save some space, and it would explain why some weapons are invisible. All armors are invisble, for example. They will never alter your character's appearance in the Shareware...

That's a good question. Googling for it I found a download link, but I won't link it here because I'm not sure how legit it is. I've had my copy of the Shareware for many years now, I don't remember where I got it, and pretty sure wherever I got it doesn't exist anymore.

Hi fellow D2 time travellers, Since this forum is dedicated for those of us who enjoy playing old versions of Diablo 2, I wonder if any of you ever tried playing the Diablo 2 Shareware and try to push it to its limits? How high a level you can reach, what kind of gear you can find/gamble, best...

I know right! It looked ok-ish before uploading to Youtube. I didn't want to spend much time fiddling with the settings of OBS, so I just hit record and uploaded the result.
