Q: I've heard of a "glitch rush"...what is it?
A: A glitch rush is one in which you skip the normal level requirement that Blizzard tries to make on Diablo II. To glitch rush, follow these steps:

1. Get someone to rush you to Act 5 Normal.
2. Make a game called "Baal For Quest" or something similar; you want people to join that need the quest.
3. Party with the person who's helping you and the people who join the game who need the quest.
4. Stay in town, you will not be able to go into the Throne of Destruction without first completing the Ancients quest, which you don't have to do.
5. Kill Baal, and make sure the person who needed the quest gets it. You will also now have the quest, and can go to Nightmare difficulty.
6. Repeat 1-5 for Nightmare and Hell.
7. Do Chaos Sanctuary runs until you are level 60 (some choose to stay longer, but 60 is ALL YOU NEED.) You will gain many levels per run, and it is ten times more efficient than leveling the normal way. You will begin to gain massive levels after you attain level 25.

Q: How do I make Diablo II run in windows mode?
A:
1. Right click on the shortcut for your Diablo II.
2. Find the Target (usually "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe")
3. After the quotes around the target location, add "-w" (without quotes) so that it reads: "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -w

How to run multiple d2s without the use of 3rd party programs
windows XP required

Step one, install diablo with 1 set of cd keys if you havent already done this.

Step two, Copy all contents of your diablo directory into another folder in your Program files folder, ie: diablo 2, d2, dii, anything thats not diablo ii.

Step Three, uninstall diablo ii. (only the one in the original diablo 2 folder, not the new one)

Step four, re-install diablo ii with different cdkey set, save into the normal directory that you had it in previously (diablo ii)

Step five, Switch accounts and run either of the folders in -w mode (to do this, rightclick on the shortcut icon on your desktop for diablo ii, and add -w (with a space before it) at the end of the line that says "target:")

Step six, switch back over and run the opposite folder in -w mode, and there you have it two diablos running at once with no hacks whatsoever


Credits go to Lunar for this part of the guide.

basically on windows when you first get your CPU you have an administrator's account. so every time you log on you go directly there.

now if you go to control pannel there should be a section called user accounts. you need to create a new account on your CPU. this also allows other people from going into your stuff.

so basically say on the administrator's account you have the full screen diablo version. on the 2nd account you have the windowed version.

now basically once you open one diablo switch accounts not log off otherwise it will close diablo onto the administrator's/secondary account. then trade this way. to summarize:

create a new account on your CPU -> turn on diablo on one of the account -> switch accounts by going to log off then switch users -> go open the second diablo and mule/perm etc.

you must switch users a lot in order to mule/perm. if this doesn't make sense I am sure someone else can clarify this.

BNet Color Profile Guide

After a while in the clan Dtrd on bnet, I decided after numerous people asking about how to make a color profile, I would post this on here.

-First of all, to get started, open up wordpad or notepad.
-Next, type in ÿc (alt + 152) c or just copy and paste
-Then after ÿc, type a number (i.e. ÿc3)
-Finally, do the ÿc3Your Message Here, the message never stops until you enter a different # in the ÿc format.
Note: For doing this, you MUST copy and paste from wordpad to BNet.


ÿc0 =white
ÿc1 =red
ÿc2 =green
ÿc3 =blue
ÿc4 =gold
ÿc5 =grey
ÿc6 =black
ÿc7 =gold
ÿc8 =orange
ÿc9 =yellow
ÿc< =dark green
ÿc: =darker green
ÿc; = purple

these symbols add a white highlight to your text, the first one gives the lightest white highlight and the highlight becomes heavier as you reach the end of the list
(note: they're all in the same order as they appear when using shift + the numbers located above the keyboard)
ÿc! (this is the lightest)
ÿc#
ÿc$
ÿc%
ÿc&
ÿc*
ÿc(
ÿc)
ÿc-
ÿc+ (this is the heaviest)



the following also give a heavy white highlight (although this can be ignored and you can just use the first set of white highlights)
ÿc. (note, may appear cyan to some)
ÿc'
ÿc,

the following also give a light white highlight (although this can be ignored and you can just use the first set of white highlights)
ÿc"
ÿc/


adding anything else at the end of ÿc will result in white

Transmuting Formulae

Listed below are the current recipes for the Horadric Cube. Simply place the items in the first half of the equation into the Cube and hit the Transmute Button to produce the item in the second half of the equation.

Transmute Formula 3 Runes of the Same Type (Runes 1-9) = 1 Higher Level Rune

3 El Runes -> 1 Eld Rune
3 Eld Runes -> 1 Tir Rune
3 Tir Runes -> 1 Nef Rune
3 Nef Runes -> 1 Eth Rune
3 Eth Runes -> 1 Ith Rune
3 Ith Runes -> 1 Tal Rune
3 Tal Runes -> 1 Ral Rune
3 Ral Runes -> 1 Ort Rune
3 Ort Runes -> 1 Thul Rune


This only works for Runes El-Ort and not on any higher Runes.

Transmute Formula 3 Perfect Skulls + 1 Rare Item + Stone of Jordan = Add 1 Socket To a Rare Item
Rare Items can only have two sockets. You cannot add sockets to items that don't normally have sockets.

Transmute Formula 1 Perfect Skull + 1 Rare Item + Stone of Jordan = 1 High Quality New Rare Item of the same type
This formula has the possibility of creating a higher quality Rare Item than the following formula. ilvl = int(.66 * clvl) + int(.66 * ilvl) That is, the ilvl will be equal to .66 times your clvl (rounded down) plus .66 times the input item's ilvl (also rounded down).

Transmute Formula 6 Perfect Skulls + 1 Rare Item = 1 Random Low Quality Rare Item of the same type
You can use this formula to get another chance at a Rare Item of the same type. ilvl = int(.4 * clvl) + int(.4 * ilvl) Player level matters. This formula will not work on items larger than 3x2.

Transmute Formula 4 Health Potions (of any type) + Ruby (any type) + Magical Sword = A Magic Sword of the Leech
You can use this formula to get a Life Stealing sword. ilvl = 30. The sword will always have the "of the Leech" suffix (4-5% Life Stolen Per Hit) and has a chance at getting a prefix as well. The type of sword is retained. For example, a champion sword as input will give a champion sword as output.

Transmute Formula 3 Magic Rings = 1 Random Magic Amulet
Save any unwanted rings for the chance of getting a high quality amulet. ilvl = int(.75 * clvl). This means at Character Level 65, ilvl = 48. So any Magical Prefix or Suffix with a level of 48 and below might be available. Since +2 to Skills amulets, have a level of 90, it's not possible to create a +2 to skills Amulet with this formula.

Transmute Formula 3 Magic Amulets = 1 Random Magic Ring
Save any unwanted amulets for the chance of getting a high quality ring. ilvl = int(.75 * clvl). This means at Character Level 65, ilvl = 48. So any Magical Prefix or Suffix with a level of 51 and below might be available.

Transmute Formula 3 Small Rejuvenation Potions = 1 Full Rejuvenation Potion

Transmute Formula 3 Gems of the Same Type and Grade (lower than Perfect) = 1 Higher Grade Gem of the Same Type
Use this formula to upgrade your growing masses of low quality Gems into something more useful.

Transmute Formula 2 Quivers of Bolts = 1 Quiver of Arrows
For users of Bows that are in need of ammunition. Random quantity of Arrows produced.

Transmute Formula 2 Quivers of Arrows = 1 Quiver of Bolts
For users of Crossbows that are in need of ammunition. Random quantity of Bolts produced.

Transmute Formula 1 Spear + 1 Quiver of Arrows = 1 Stack of Javelins
Mainly for Amazons that are in need of Javelins to use with skills. Any class/type of Spear can be used.

Transmute Formula 1 Axe + 1 Dagger = Throwing Axe
Any class/type of Axe can be used (i.e. magic/socketed/non magical axe/etc). Random quantity of throwing axes produced.


Transmute Formula 3 Perfect Gems (of any type) + 1 Magic Item = 1 New Random Magic Item of the Same Type
You can use this formula to get another chance at a Magic Item of the same type. The ilvl = ilvl. This means to use 100% of the ilvl of the input item. It's important to note the difference between "the ilvl is set to a fixed number" like what happens in some recipes and "the ilvl of the output is exactly the same as the ilvl of the input" as is the case here. So if you're cubing for +skills Grand Charms, for example, you want to use Charms starting from late Nightmare, not ones that dropped in the Normal Blood Moor. You can use this formula (with an Amulet) to create a +2 Skills Amulet. And you cannot Gamble one before Character Level 84. Be warned however, that the chances of getting that on an Amulet might be very low (considering everything is available) and it might take a lot of tries. Rare Items cannot be used with this formula to create new Rare Items. You can also use this on Charms and Jewels.

Transmute Formula Strangling Gas Potion + any type of Healing Potion = 1 Antidote Potion

Transmute Formula 6 Perfect Gems (1 of each type) + 1 Amulet (any quality) = Prismatic Amulet
Use this formula to create an Amulet with Resistance to all. ilvl = 50. The amulet will always have the Prismatic prefix (All Resistancs +16-20) and has a chance at getting a suffix as well.

Transmute Formula 1 Magic Ring + 1 Perfect Emerald + 1 Antidote Potion = 1 Jade Ring
Use this formula to create a Poison Resistance Ring. The Jade Ring has a random percentage (21-30%) of Poison Resistance. You may also receive an additional Magic Suffix. ilvl=30.

Transmute Formula 1 Magic Ring + 1 Perfect Ruby + 1 Exploding Potion = 1 Garnet Ring
Use this formula to create a Fire Resistance Ring. The Garnet Ring has a random percentage (21-30%) of Fire Resistance. You may also receive an additional Magic Suffix. ilvl=30.

Transmute Formula 1 Magic Ring + 1 Perfect Topaz + 1 Rejuvenation Potion = 1 Coral Ring
Use this formula to create a Lightning Resistance Ring. The Coral Ring has a random percentage (21-30%) of Lightning Resistance. You may also receive an additional Magic Suffix. ilvl=30.

Transmute Formula 1 Magic Ring + 1 Perfect Sapphire + 1 Thawing Potion = 1 Cobalt Ring
Use this formula to create a Cold Resistance Ring. The Cobalt Ring has a random percentage (21-30%) of Cold Resistance. You may also receive an additional Magic Suffix. ilvl=30.

Transmute Formula 1 Magic Shield (any type) + 1 Spiked Club (any quality) + 2 Skulls (any quality) = Magic Shield of Spikes
ilvl=30. The shield will always have the "of Spikes" suffix (Attacker Takes Damage of 4-6) and has a chance at getting a prefix as well. The type of shield is retained, and any type of shield (including paladin shields and necromancer shrunken heads) works as input.

Transmute Formula Diamond (any quality) + 1 Staff (any type and quality) + 1 Kris (any quality) + 1 Belt (any type and quality) = Savage Polearm Class Weapon
ivl = 50. The polearm will always have the Savage prefix (66-80% Enhanced Damage) and has a chance at getting a suffix as well. The polearm will be one of the following, selected randomly: Bardiche, Battle Scythe, Bill, Halberd, Lochaber Axe, Partizan, Poleaxe, Scythe, Voulge, War Scythe (put another way, any normal polearm or any exceptional polearm other than Bec-de-Corbin and Grim Scythe).

Transmute Formula Wirt's Leg + A Tome of Town Portal = Secret Cow Level
You must Transmute in the Act I Rogue Encampment. You must have already killed Baal in the same Difficulty Level. One time per Difficulty Level. Warning: if you lead the Cows around the Red Portal and die, you may not be able to fight your way back inside. Try to run in as far as you can and open up an escape Town Portal for backup. MooOOOOOOooooo


Diablo II 1.10 Transmuting Formulae

Transmute Formula
3 Thul Runes + 1 Chipped Topaz = Amn Rune
3 Amn Runes + 1 Chipped Amethyst = Sol Rune
3 Sol Runes + 1 Chipped Sapphire = Shael Rune
3 Shael Runes + 1 Chipped Ruby = Dol Rune

Transmute Formula

The following Rune upgrade formulae will only work for Single-Player, Open, or Ladder Characters. They will not work for Normal Characters on the Realms.

3 Dol Runes + 1 Chipped Emerald = Hel Rune
3 Hel Runes + 1 Chipped Diamond = Io Rune
3 Io Runes + 1 Flawed Topaz = Lum Rune
3 Lum Runes + 1 Flawed Amethyst = Ko Rune
3 Ko Runes + 1 Flawed Sapphire = Fal Rune
3 Fal Runes + 1 Flawed Ruby = Lem Rune
3 Lem Runes + 1 Flawed Emerald = Pul Rune
2 Pul Runes + 1 Flawed Diamond = Um Rune
2 Um Runes + 1 Topaz = Mal Rune
2 Mal Runes + 1 Amethyst = Ist Rune
2 Ist Runes + 1 Sapphire = Gul Rune
2 Gul Runes + 1 Ruby = Vex Rune
2 Vex Runes + 1 Emerald = Ohm Rune
2 Ohm Runes + 1 Diamond = Lo Rune
2 Lo Runes + 1 Flawless Topaz = Sur Rune
2 Sur Runes + 1 Flawless Amethyst = Ber Rune
2 Ber Runes + 1 Flawless Sapphire = Jah Rune
2 Jah Runes + 1 Flawless Ruby = Cham Rune
2 Cham Runes + 1 Flawless Emerald = Zod Rune

Transmute Formula 3 Health Potions + 3 Mana Potions + 1 Chipped Gem = 1 Rejuvenation Potion
Use this formula if you are in need of instant healing and/or mana. Any grade of Health/Mana Potion can be used.

Transmute Formula 3 Health Potions + 3 Mana Potions + 1 Standard Gem (normal) = 1 Full Rejuvenation Potion
Use this formula if you are in need of instant full healing and/or mana. Any grade of Health/Mana Potion can be used.

Transmute Formula 3 Standard Gems (normal) and 1 Socketed Weapon (Any Type) = 1 Socketed Magic Weapon (of same type)
This takes a socketed weapon and makes it a magic socketed weapon with a random number of sockets. This allows you to get new magic bonuses on an otherwise non magical weapon. The original weapon properties will be removed (rerolled) when the new weapon is created. ilvl = 30. It gets 1-2 sockets.

Transmute Formula 3 Chipped Gems + 1 Magic Weapon = Socketed Magic Weapon
This adds sockets to a magic weapon. The original magic weapon properties will be removed (rerolled) when the new weapon is created. If you use this formula with a weapon that is not normally socketed such as a Javelin, this recipe will create a new magical weapon without any sockets. ilvl=25 magic weapon with 1-2 sockets.

Transmute Formula 3 Flawless Gems + 1 Magic Weapon = Socketed Magic Weapon
This adds sockets to a magic weapon. The original magic weapon properties will be removed (rerolled) when the new weapon is created. If you use this formula with a weapon that is not normally socketed such as a Javelin, this recipe will create a new magical weapon without any sockets. ilvl=30 magic weapon with 1-2 sockets.

Transmute Formula 1 Tal Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Topaz + Normal Body Armor = Socketed Body Armor of same type
The number of sockets created will vary. The item must be normal and unsocketed. Low-quality items and superior items do not work. The item gets 1-4 sockets, randomly. However, the number of sockets is then restricted by the maximum number of sockets that base item with that ilvl can have. For example, if you have an item that can only have 2 sockets, there's a 5/6 chance of getting 2 sockets and a 1/6 chance of getting 1 socket.

Transmute Formula 1 Ral Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Normal Weapon = Socketed Weapon of same type
The number of sockets created will vary. The item must be normal and unsocketed. Low-quality items and superior items do not work. The item gets 1-6 sockets, randomly. However, the number of sockets is then restricted by the maximum number of sockets that base item with that ilvl can have. For example, if you have an item that can only have 2 sockets, there's a 5/6 chance of getting 2 sockets and a 1/6 chance of getting 1 socket.

Transmute Formula 1 Ral Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Sapphire + Normal Helm = Socketed Helm of same type
The number of sockets created will vary. The item must be normal and unsocketed. Low-quality items and superior items do not work. The item gets 1-3 sockets, randomly. However, the number of sockets is then restricted by the maximum number of sockets that base item with that ilvl can have. For example, if you have an item that can only have 2 sockets, there's a 5/6 chance of getting 2 sockets and a 1/6 chance of getting 1 socket.

Transmute Formula 1 Tal Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Ruby + Normal Shield = Socketed Shield of same type
The number of sockets created will vary. The item must be normal and unsocketed. Low-quality items and superior items do not work. The item gets 1-4 sockets, randomly. However, the number of sockets is then restricted by the maximum number of sockets that base item with that ilvl can have. For example, if you have an item that can only have 2 sockets, there's a 5/6 chance of getting 2 sockets and a 1/6 chance of getting 1 socket.

Transmute Formula 1 Eld Rune + 1 Chipped Gem + Low Quality Weapon = Normal Quality Weapon of same type
ilvl = 1. That is, regardless of what the ilvl was beforehand, it will be set to 1.

Transmute Formula 1 El Rune + 1 Chipped Gem + Low Quality Armor = Normal Quality Armor of same type

Transmute Formula 1 Ral Rune + 1 Sol Rune + 1 Perfect Emerald + Normal Unique Weapon = Exceptional Version of Weapon
This formula changes the base item type from the normal to exceptional version. For example an Axe is turned into a Cleaver. This does NOT convert the item to the Exceptional Unique version of the Unique Item. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain.

Transmute Formula 1 Tal Rune + 1 Shael Rune + 1 Perfect Diamond + Normal Unique Armor = Exceptional Version of Armor
This formula changes the base item type from the normal to exceptional version. For example Quilted Armor is turned into Ghost Armor. This does NOT convert the item to the Exceptional Unique version of the Unique Item. So you cannot for example use this formula to transform Greyform into The Spirit Shroud. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain. Armor refers to any sort of armor, including helms, boots, belts, gloves and shields, not just body armor.

Transmute Formula 1 Lum Rune + 1 Pul Rune + 1 Perfect Emerald + Exceptional Unique Weapon = Elite Version of Weapon (Ladder Only)
This formula changes the base item type from the exceptional to elite version. For example a Cleaver is turned into a Small Crescent. This does NOT convert the item to the Elite Unique version of the Exceptional Unique Item. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. You cannot do this formula unless you are using a Ladder Character. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain.

Transmute Formula 1 Ko Rune + 1 Lem Rune + 1 Perfect Diamond + Exceptional Unique Armor = Elite Version of Armor (Ladder Only)
This formula changes the base item type from the exceptional to elite version. For example Ghost Armor is turned into a Dusk Shroud. This does NOT convert the item to the Elite Unique version of the Unique Item. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. You cannot do this formula unless you are using a Ladder Character. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain. Armor refers to any sort of armor, including helms, boots, belts, gloves and shields, not just body armor.

Transmute Formula 1 Ort Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Sapphire + Normal (Basic) Rare Weapon = Exceptional Rare Weapon
The item type is upgraded.

Transmute Formula 1 Ral Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Normal (Basic) Rare Armor = Exceptional Rare Armor
The item type is upgraded.

Transmute Formula 1 Fal Rune + 1 Um Rune + 1 Perfect Sapphire + Exceptional Rare Weapon = Elite Rare Weapon
The item type is upgraded.

Transmute Formula 1 Ko Rune + 1 Pul Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Exceptional Rare Armor = Elite Rare Armor
The item type is upgraded.

Transmute Formula 1 Ort Rune + Weapon = Fully Repaired Weapon
Use this Rune + Your Horadric Cube to repair your weapon. You cannot repair Ethereal items.

Transmute Formula 1 Ral Rune + Armor = Fully Repaired Armor
Use this Rune + Your Horadric Cube to repair your armor. You cannot repair ethereal armor.

Transmute Formula 1 Hel Rune + Scroll of Town Portal + Any Socketed Item = Unsocket that item
Warning: This will destroy any gems, runes, or jewels you have socketed. This is useful if you are not happy with the gems you have socketed and you want to socket the item in another way.

Transmute Formula 1 Ort Rune + 1 Chipped Gem (any kind) + Weapon = Fully Repaired and Recharged Weapon
You cannot repair ethereal weapons.

Transmute Formula 1 Ral Rune + 1 Flawed Gem (any kind) + Armor = Fully Repaired and Recharged Armor
You cannot repair ethereal armor. Armor refers to any sort of armor, including helms, boots, belts, gloves and shields, not just body armor.

New Side-Quests

Keys

• Key of Terror (Dropped by the Countess in Act One)
• Key of Hate (Dropped by the Summoner in Act Two)
• Key of Destruction (Dropped by Nihlathak in Act Five)

To earn the keys, you must kill the respective bosses: the Countess, the Summoner, and Nihlathak. There is a 1 in 34 chance that a key will drop, but more than one key can drop at a given time. You can hold as many keys as you have room for. When you have all three keys, you put them in the Horadric Cube, go to Act Five, and transmute. A portal will open up leading to one of three places:

• Matron's Den - Hosts Lilith, who drops Diablo's Horn
• Furnace of Pain - Hosts Uber Izual, who drops Mephisto's Brain
• The Forgotten Sands - Hosts Uber Duriel who drops Baal's Eye

If you have three different sets of keys, you can make them all in the same game to be guarantied to get all three body parts. BEWARE, if you make a portal directly over another you might block it and will not be able to get in.

Nihlathak Maps[b] - Credit goes to Kuskid.

I figured I'd post this to help out people that find their own keys for torches or to trade. For whatever reason, the Destruction Key, which is dropped by Nihlathak, is the most expensive one. I guess it's because he's the strongest of the 3, but he's also the quickest to run if you know how to do it. Using map patterns, you can run him in practically no time. What character to use is your choice, but I'm going to show you how to quickly identify where to go based on the room you're in when you first enter the Halls of Pain waypoint. There are only 3 different rooms you have to memorize, so it's EZ too.

NOTE: Look around for the minimap a little, I put it where I though it'd show up the best.

[b]Map 1) Room opens up to the bottom left.


What to do: Head up until you hit the upper-right wall of the map, then to the right, the stairway to the Halls of Vaught will be along that upper-right wall.

Map 2) Room opens up to the left and right.

What to do: Head to your left. The stairway to the Halls of Vaught will be in the far left corner of the map.

Map 3) Room opens up directly to the left.

What to do: Head to the left and down. It will be along the bottom-left wall, usually about halfway between the left and bottom corners of the map.


I figured these out on my own on the first night of the v1.11 patch, and have been meaning to post them ever since. Hopefully I helped someone out with these.

Dclone/Uber Diablo

Dclone appears on all games of the same server on hell mode once a certain amount of sojs is sold (average of 80-120 since the last number he appeared (popped) at, always a random number and there is no way to be certain which number it is. I've seen some pop after less than 50 sojs sold since he last walked the earth and once somewhere past 160). Sojs can be sold on norm, nm and Hell and will add to the count but he only spawns in hell games.

When he appears ur screen will shake and u'll get the msg in gold letters "diablo has walked the earth". he'll appear at the first superunique u go neer that u havent been neer before (e.g. shenk, rakanisbu, eldritch, the zombie in the den of evil, andarie, mephisto, etc.). so basically u can pick where u want him to spawn unless you or someone else already went neer that monster anytime in that specific game, dclone wont appear there.

dclone or uber diablo (other name for him, given by blizzard i believe) always drops exactly one annihilus so if theres others with you, make sure you're quick at grabbing it. (dont forget that u can only hold 1 anni at a time and it wont let u pick it up unless u have none on u, so its a good idea to have a friends whos online to help u xfer it when ur done or have a mule that can enter hell games to come and pick it up if u already have one on u.

Knowing what game to look for

Unfortunately, when the torches came out people lost interested in dclone hunting and again since dupe was patched for a while, so this has been very slow as dclones dont spawn as often, but this is still a considerably faster method than just randomly searching for games that are selling sojs.

go to www.mirc.com and download mirc (its a trial version but you can still use it after it expires, it just bugs you asking to buy it). set it up and go to servers (under the tab named file i believe) and add a new server. call it irc.dcloneirc.net using port 6667 (should be already set to that)

the channel that monitors what servers are active is #useast-dclone. the topic of the channel will tell you what servers to look for.

-servers listed under "walked" signifies that dclone recently popped on that server and unless u were already in a hell game of that at the time, u missed him.

-servers listed under "hot" signifies that sojs are selling at a fast pace on those servers and might pop soon

-servers listed under "slow" signifies that sojs are selling on that server but at a slow rate

-and servers listed under "crash" signifies that that server crashed n i dont believe dclone can appear on that server for a while (although i dont believe this happens anymore, it was not there when i checked mirc today)


How to find what server your game is on

go to "run" in ur start menu and run command.com (or just command). Or you can go into ur system32 file and open it there (i usually put a shortcut in my start menu). a DoS style window will open. When you're in a D2 game go in the command window and type netstat -n (some computers let you just type netstat) then press enter.

this will display all the ip addresses your computer is connected to. the one you're looking for is the one that ends with :4000. thats the server ur games on. the only important numbers in the ip address is the last 2-3 digits after the last period. keep on joining games till those 2-3 digits match the ones listed in the channel topic of mirc under slow or hot or what people in the channel say is a good server to look for.

once you find a good server, its just a waiting game... i know u wait anyway if u just pick a server n stay in it w/o mirc...but its alot faster n they usually give good guesses if the server will pop real soon or in a couple of days.

If u have multiple D2/LoD cdkeys and load on multiple d2 (using multiple comps or w/e) you can join multiple games on the same server, wait for him to pop and go in every game and kill the dclones with your dclone killer. This way you get multiple annis off one pop.

Also watch out for Realm Downs from joining and leaving games too quickly

Some information on how it works on mirc


There are alot of people on mirc, and whenever someone gets a count on diablo they'll post the count on mirc. say someone sees a count of 5530 sojs on the server 63.240.202.44 then someone will post it on mirc by posting ipaddress@count, so 44@5530 in this case. the bot will automatically record it and depending on how fast ppl r calling it in, it will list those servers as hot or slow. basically everyone works together to find out wut servers are good. dont try to abuse it though by calling in fake counts. if mods figure out that u abused it, u can get banned from dclone irc for a couple of weeks or more, sometimes permanent. they also now have a program that you just leave on as you play and it will automatically report the counts of games you are in.

Another cool thing they do on mirc is alliance pop (which is very similar to what Tenjuna will be holding on the 23rd). might be a bit different today, but when i wus using mirc, it wus held every night. basiccally you pay 8 sojs to get in, they tell everyone in it what server to look for n wait a bit. after that, they sell all the sojs everyone payed on that server until dclone pops. But you cant tell anyone on mirc that isnt in the alliance pop wut server to look for, that can also get you banned.

I also dont believe mods on mirc let u buy other ppls games (people used to sell they're server if it was a good one for like a soj or 2). they dont do this cause some people would abuse it and come back to their game they sold n kill dclone when he comes themself n take the anni too (just pointing this out).
