Secrets and Tips

[GuyAskingQuestion]

Just wondered what secret areas/items, or tips for tackling certain monsters/general gameplay you guys know. There is alot of hidden stuff in the mod, and I wondered if you had found it all...

I may just add some more when I am done with the bugs!

~ If playing as a party over tcp/ip, or otherwise, remember that skills such as the Barbarians "Totem of Dispair" and the Necromancers "Soften" DO NOT stack. Simply put, a monster may be affected by; one curse style effect; numerous aura style skills.

~ Similarly, Barbarian "shouts" do not stack - except for - Battle Command. In addition, Battle Commands "+ skills" increases after a few levels.

~ For early, and later, gold, look out for; any knifes; wands, staffs and orbs; scrolls; bronze, gold and platinum; and skulls.

~ Gambleing has much greater odds in finding items of suitable power. Just don't waste too much cash!

~ You may find that to remove the penalties from Afflicted items and the Charm Limit that you must take on and off the Skill Scroll. Otherwise, you might simply wait a few seconds.

~ If you're finding the next difficulty alittle hard, try searching around act 5 for new areas...

~ Keep all the Jewels you find -- even sucky ones -- as you can craft them together to make another magic , Rare, or even Unique Jewel.

~ Monster body parts are worth keeping, as you can either upgrade a tempered item. Or craft alot of them together to make a blue box (50), craftsmans hammers, and other useful items.

~ If the Charm Limiting effect won't turn off after you have dropped some charms, pickup and put down the Scroll of Skills.

~ Bloodraven drops a nice charm in each difficulty, but there is no need to run her twice as she will just drop the same charm everytime.

~ The Countess is still one of the best enemies to kill for runes. She can now drop as high as Zod, but the chances of that are very low.

~ If you're having problems finding the way to the Dark Wood, check the icey cave in the Graveyard.
