backup your guy. You might want to talk to the other guy about this so he doesn't think you ripped him off....
If nothing helped you, e-mail me your problem and I will try to help you personally.
(.6.)Horadric Cube: This section is about anything I find out about the
Horadric Cube. So far, I have found that three gems of the same type and the same perfection equal one gem that is one higher perfection than the last three were. Putting any items in with the gems destroys the item(s).
Three amulets equal a ring and three rings equal an amulet. Putting around 6 gems in with an amulet or ring gives the ring new properties but without it's original properties. Don't put 3 gems with the same type and perfection or you will only get a gem with a higher perfection, not a ring or amulet. After defeating Diablo, start again in normal and get
Wirt's Leg and transmute it with a town portal tome. This will take you to the hidden cow level called the Moo Moo Farm. This is NOT as easy as you think. The cows almost never end but you get a lot of items. The Cow
King drops a lot of stamina potions, some healing and mana potions, and a couple items. This whole trick only works once per difficulty AFTER killing Diablo. Check out the backup\restore part of character help. If you don't find anything good in the cow level, quit, restore, and try again. MOO!
The following was sent by Derek (sorry I forgot your battle.net name!)
Put 3 Perfect skulls in with an amulet and you should get an amulet that gives you a 1 or 2 skill point-boosting amulet for your guy. It has a 1 of 1 chance of working.
Ed: I've gotten this to work with any combination of 3 perfect gems. This transmution changes the rare amulet and it can have *ANY* new attributes.
The amulet is random every time you do the transmutation with 3 perfects but this will only work with perfects. To force this to work, do the backup directory thing (at the end of character help) and try your combination(s). If you don't like what you get, quit, restore your guy, and do it again. You will get what you want eventually. HOWEVER, be warned that the amulet that adds 2 to your skill levels requires level
67. The one that adds 1 to your skills levels requires level 22. You may not want to try this until later.
P.S.: My favorite amulet has the following:
+2 character skills
+5% mana steal
+4% life steal
Prismatic (around 20 to all resistances)
+57 to mana
+59 to life
Beat that!
The following was sent by IggyboyAT:
1 Emerald (of any quality) + 1 ring + 4 Antidote Potions = One Viridian
Ring. This ring adds to Poison resist. What it adds to Poison Resist % is random.
1 Ruby (of any quality) + 1 ring + 4 Exploding Potions = One Garnet Ring.
This ring adds to Fire resist. What it adds to Fire resist % is random.
1 Sapphire (of any quality) + 1 ring + 4 Thawing Potions = One Cobalt
Ring. This ring does the same thing as the Garnet Ring except it adds to
Cold resist. (These first three formulae do not work with amulets) 1 spear class item + 1 quiver of arrows = 1 stack of javelins 1 axe + 2 daggers = a stack of throwing axes 3 health potions (any quality) + 3 mana potions (any quality) = one rejuvenation potion 3 health potions + 3 mana potions + 1 gem = one full rejuvenation potion
I add: Please use chipped, flawed, or, if you are desperate, normal.
Using perfects like this is a BIG waste. 6 gems (of any kind) + 1 sword class weapon = one socketed long sword 2 quivers of arrows = one quiver of bolts 2 quivers of bolts = one quiver of arrows
3 Perfect Gems (of any type) + 1 magical item = one new random magical item. Tends to work better with the items you find in nightmare and above difficulties. Be careful about using any of you best items unless they suck and can be replaced. You will not get a unique, rare, or set item.
The following was sent in by Sabin:
Using IggyboyAT's tricks above with the resistance rings, if you make one and put in your inventory, leave the game and reenter, the ring will be different. Sometimes it will be worse and sometimes it will be better. It is like gambling. It works with all versions of the game and you don't need to put it in a specific spot in your inventory. Just don't equip it.
Ed: I tried this and it works.
This section will be updated as much as I can. Please send me anything else you known about the cube. Warning: Don't put your best items in the cube and transmute unless you know what you are doing. You'll see...

(.7.) Diablo 2 Expansion: The Lord of Destruction:
Well, the expansion is not out as of yet, but I've found out some information about it. It will come out in the first half of 2001 sometime. I think we're all praying that it's soon. The expansion will add an act to the normal game. It will be act 5, with harder enemies than act 4. Act 5 will be about the size of acts 1 and 2 but it will be smaller than act 3 and larger than act 4. It will have 6 quests and I think there are 9 waypoints. There will also still be 3 difficulty levels. You will still only be able to get to level 99 as your maximum character level and level 20 as your maximum on your skills. There will be new horadric cube formulae and Blizzard says that it will be more useful than diablo 2's cube. You will be able to get elite items, which are better than exceptionals. The best example they have of an elite item is with a pike. The normal item is a pike, the exceptional is a lance, and the elite will be a war pike. You will be able to find unique exceptionals, too. I haven't seen any of those yet. You will be able to find jewels, which will increase you weapons' power if the weapons are socketed. As of yet they are magical (one prefix and one suffix), but blizzard MIGHT make them rare. You may also find socketed rare and magical items in the expansion. If you've cheated with your open characters then you'll know what I mean. There will be items that only certain character classes can use. Sorceresses get orbs, which do very little damage but will increase skills dramatically. I forgot most of the other classes' items so I won't start listing them. You will have 2 new character classes. They are the druid and the assassin. I haven't seen a picture of the druid yet (although I haven't looked), but if you want to see an assassin, goto act 3 in Diablo 2 and look for Natalya. She's an assassin. For skills, druids can change forms into animals and use nature-type magic. Assassins get martial arts, traps, and some magical abilities. That's pretty much all I've found out so far. If you've learned anything I haven't covered here about the expansion, please e-mail me and tell me about it.
