| Retrieving items after death | Rating: 87% | |
|
Save and exit the game after dying. Restart the game, and your corpse will be in town, allowing you to retrieve your possessions. The trick that brings your body back into town after dying has a flaw. When you save and exit then return to the game, your body will not have the lump sum of money that you were carrying at the time of your death. This is fine if you are not carrying a large amount of money, however when you have a large amount, it is better to stay in the game and retrieve your lost possessions. If your corpse is close to a waypoint, cast a shielding spell, or equip any shield, then quickly run to your corpse and run back out. If any tough monsters are near the waypoint in BattleNet, ask another player that can defeat them to clear the way. Did this work for you? or 40 of 46 people have said this worked for them. |

| Unlimited gold | Rating: 82% | |
|
On Act 1, play through the game until you get to the Countess quest. In the Forgotten Tower on level 5 of the dungeon, you will find several rooms containing large masses of gold. After defeating the Countess and collecting all the treasure, save and exit the game. Reload and return to the Forgotten Tower on level 5. The gold should be there again. Note: If you defeat the Countess again the game will not give you the gold for killing her again. Repeat this as many times as needed.

| More gold for items | Rating: 81% | |
|
Never sell or even pick up items that are low quality, cracked, etc. They give you less money and take up space. Only sell Enchanted bows because they cannot be repaired. Always repair items before selling to get more money. Armor in general gives you more money -- always pick up and sell it, especially Heavy Armor. Keep your inventory clean by having a row of potions along the bottom, a Tome of Identify and a Tome of Town Portal on the far left so they take up less space, and a key bunch. Keep as much space open as possible. You may feel very compelled to hoard potions, but it is more profitable to keep space open. To obtain more money for items, go to a higher act or harder difficulty mode. Repair the item and sell it to a NPC. Did this work for you? or 21 of 26 people have said this worked for them. |

| Gain gold and items quickly | Rating: 73% | |

Travel past the Blood Moor and look for a cave. The cave has two levels, with a golden chest somewhere at the second level. Inside are usually health potions, mana potions, scrolls of town portal or identify, unidentified weapons and armor, and sometimes even a rare item that can be sold for a great deal of money. If you identify the item and it is something that you do not want, sell it. Save and exit the game. The next time the game is loaded, the chest will still be there with different items. This can be done as many times as needed. After completing the quest to save Cain, reload the game, then use the Stony Fields waypoint to do the quest again. There are always magic monsters here that will give you items. Obtain two Act 3 Waypoints, Travincal, and the Durance of Hate. Go to Travincal and kill the Council. When you are done, kill Mephisto, the rest of the Council, and whoever else happens to be down there. Doing this will warrant you at least one rare, set, or unique item, and quite possibly more. This trick is also great for getting at least 10,000 gold in each visit to town. When you leave the game and start again, go through the same process. This helps load up your stash with gems, money, and hopefully obtain useful rares. Did this work for you? or 19 of 26 people have said this worked for them. |

| Windowed game | Rating: 56% | |

Start the game with the -w command line parameter to run it on a window on the desktop. To do this, right click the icon and select "Properties" at the bottom of the list. Next, where it states "Target:" go to the very end and add -w (outside the quotes). When you double click this specific icon, it will open in a 800 x 600 window size. When you play the game itself, it runs under the 640 x 480 size, unless you specify otherwise with the newer patches. Did this work for you? or 15 of 27 people have said this worked for them. |
