Savings & Load

Unlike in Diablo I, you cannot save the game in the middle of a dungeon, and re-load the game back to that point. That is, if you pick up an unidentified magic item and want to save the game before you identify it, so that you can reload the game and dump the item if its actually cursed or useless, you cannot do it directly through the main game menu like you could in Diablo I. This is because your in-game menu options are various game setting 'Options', 'Save and Quit', and 'Return to Game'. To do this in Diablo I you would just: save, identify item, load game, and then dump the item if you wanted. To do this in Diablo II, you need to: save and quit, load game, identify item, Alt-Tab (to bring up your Windows desktop), end task Diablo II (ctrl-alt-del, select Diablo II, click on 'end task'), then relaunch the game, and reload the game. Your item now returns to an unidentified state, and you can unload (sell, drop) it if you want.

Money

This doesn't work for any class except the Barbarian. It definitely takes patience. OK, first learn the find potion skill. If u want to, after go to the skills shrine, then go around and kill everything, in between use the find potion skill and with the shrine enhancement u should be able to get light health and mana, and maybe even a rejuvenation. when your full go to the blacksmith and sell your potions. Presto, Mo money!

Dupe anything

Add a backup folder to the c:\program files\diablo II\save file. Save the character that you wish to duplicate items/gold/whatever with in there, basically everything that has their name on it. Open Diablo II. Join a tcp-ip game that your friend...etc.. has set up. Drop all your gear. Save and exit. Alt-tab to go to your windows desktop and go into the folder that should be called "backup". Copy all the files of the character back into the save file. It will ask you if you wish to overwrite. Just hit "A" for yes to all. Now join the game again, and your gear will be on the ground, unless your friend took it all, and you'll have all of it again. This works particularly well for getting all perfect gems, as you can dupe all the cracked/flawed whatever, then use the "Horadric Cube" to transmute them into the better gems. I personally have a character that has a full inventory of 4 of every type of gem/skull at a perfect level, which makes NICE socketed eq.
