 HexCheat:
 thang, 
 You play Diablo2, when your level move up, you save and exit 
 game. Use Norton Comander,move to your save, press F4, move 
 to line 587,delete piece and makeup is ~
 Ex: w a d
 Ex: w a ~
 Ex: w ~ ~
 Ex: ~ ~ ~
 After you makeup your save,please save it and out it,
 play Diablo with your save's maked up.
 This cheat will make you fell stronger when you play Diablo2.
 
 Hint:
 
 In the first act, every time you speak with Akara, she 
 refills your mana/life/stamina.
 
 Here's how to dupe an item without any hacking: 
 
 Use Town portal.
 Set any item in front of the portal.
 Click with the mouse on the item and step through the portal.
 When you reach the town the item will be in your inventory.
 Go back through the portal and the item will be where you 
 left it. To duplicate an item in multiplayer:
 
 Fill up your belt with healing or mana potions. 
 Drop any item on the ground. 
 Walk some distance away. 
 Click back on the item. Your character will start walking 
 toward the item. 
 Just before the character picks it back up, click on a potion 
 that you should have on your belt. 
 If the item is picked up, you can then drop the potion. 
 When the potion hits the ground it will change into the item 
 that you pick up. If the potion doesn't change when it hits the 
 ground, you clicked on it to late. 
 
 Repeat 1 through 6, but try walking farther away from the item. 
 It might take a few tries to get your timing down, but it will 
 happen. 
 Also, you can not have more than one of the same item on the 
 ground at any one time. 
 If you try, the screen will say "duped item detected," and it will 
 remove one of them. 
 
 
 Diablo 2 in a Window:
 Although not documented, you may run Diablo 2 in a Window 
 instead of full-screen. Simply add "-w" to your Diablo 2 
 shortcut. (ie: "C:Diablo 2Diablo II.exe" -w) 
 
 Retreiving Items from Dead Corpse:
 (Tested with version 1.01)
 When you die and are transported back into town, shutdown 
 the game incorrectly (example: [Alt] + [Tab] back to Windows, 
 press [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Delete] and shutdown the Diablo 2 task). 
 When you load the game back up again, your dead corpse will 
 appear in town and you may collect your items/gold. 
 
 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!
 
 Hex Cheat (Stash)
 WARNING: Always make a backup of your savegame before 
 edititng! 
 
 To modify the amount of gold contained in your "Stash", 
 do the following: 
 
 1) Try to put at least 1000 gold in your stash. This cheat 
 will work with smaller amounts, but you may be limited on 
 how much you can add. 
 
 2) Load your game. Record the amount of gold in your stash. 
 Exit from game. 
 
 3) Load a Hex Editor and convert your gold to HEX. Open the 
 file savegame.d2s (savegame will be the name of your character) 
 in your Diablo 2 save folder. 
 
 4) Search for the HEX location (from converted amount of gold). 
 Modify the HEX location to FFFF (or any amount in HEX that you 
 wish - up to 65000). Save the file. 
 
 5) Re-load your Diablo 2 savegame and you will have 65000 in 
 your stash!
 
 Gain money and items quickly:
 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.
 
 Cow level:
 When you have the Horadaric Cube, obtain "Wert's Leg" 
 in Tristram (where you go to rescue Deckhard Cain). 
 Go to the northwest part of the town and search the 
 boy's body. Place both Wert's leg and a Tome of Town 
 Portal in the Horadaric Cube, and it will open a portal 
 to a hidden level filled with axe carrying cows. Do not 
 go through the portal until you are over level 35 because 
 the cows are quite numerous and strong. 
 
 Duplicating items:
 Note: This only works on Open Battlenet, as the characters 
 need to be saved on your computer. This trick also requires 
 two computers with two copies of Diablo 2. Get the items to 
 be duplicated. Copy the "Save" folder from the Diablo 2 
 folder of that computer and paste it on your desktop. 
 Go online with both computers and meet in a game. Give the 
 items to be duplicated to the second computer, then save and 
 exit. Press [Alt] + Tab] on the first computer to switch to 
 Windows and copy the "Save" folder from your desktop back to 
 its original location, overwriting its current contents. 
 Return and join the other computer in the game. You will 
 now have all your original items and the other computer will 
 have a copy of them. Note: This does not work with the +1 Skill 
 book from Act 2, as you are only allowed to do it once.
 
 Can't get your Dead body?:
 Just save, exit and go back to the game. Your body 
 will be in the town.
 
 Avoid no-win situation:
 Press [Esc] when facing imminent death, then save and 
 exit the game. Load the game again to start in town, 
 where you can buy weapons, life etc. 
 
 Change enemies:
 If enemies in a certain area, such as Hell, are too tough 
 restart the game. Enemies such as Flesh Spawners, Stygian 
 Hags, and the Hell beetles can spawn dozens of creatures in 
 seconds. After restarting, check the area and repeat if 
 needed. The Hell beetles are usually replaced by Doom Knights 
 and Venom Lords, and the Hags are usually replaced by the same. 
 This may also work with other areas. 
 
 Imbue without worry:
 When you get an item and want to imbue and are worried about 
 the outcome, copy the "Save" folder from the Diablo 2 folder 
 to the desktop or any other location. Start your game and imbue. 
 If you do not like what happened, save the game and exit. 
 You will now be in main menu again. Press [Alt] + [Tab] and 
 copy the save folder back to its original location. Then click 
 "Single Player Game" and start. You have another chance to imbue 
 the item. Repeat this until you get the desired effect.
 
 Unlimited one way portal:
 Cast a Town Portal from a safe location, then take the portal 
 into town. Use the waypoint system and run to get back to your 
 last location. This allows you to use the portal to go back into 
 town an unlimited number of times as long as you do not use it 
 from town to return to where you were previously. 
 
 Using items in Act 1 for Necromancers: 
 Because gems in the beginning of the game are usually 
 more precious than any unique/rare item you may find, 
 get a socketed bardiche and fill it with chipped or 
 flawed rubies or sapphires. For boots and gloves, try 
 to go for + to gold from enemies because gold in Act 1 
 will allow you to buy useful items in Act 2. For rings 
 and amulets, lean towards + to life Mana or Attack ratings. 
 For armor and helm, try to get the best defense. However 
 if you find something that has kicking abilities, do not 
 hesitate to sacrifice the few defense points in difference. 
 For belts, the more slots the better. In skills, + to strength. 
 In abilities, +2 raise skeleton, +1 to amp damage, +2 to clay 
 golem, + 1-2 to bone armor.
 
 Unlimited imbued items:
 After installing v1.00, play until Charsi offers to imbue 
 something for you. Save and exit the game. Then download 
 patch v1.03 and install it. Join a TCP/IP or open Battle.net 
 game with the same character. Imbue something, then give it 
 to a trusted player. After exiting, return as the same 
 character, and you will be able to imbue again. Note: v1.00 
 save files cannot be overwritten by v1.03.
 
 
 Useful hints:
 Before selling an item, repair it. This will increase its 
 value. 
 
 Always have several Town of Portal spells ready. 
 These portals can provide a quick escape if the dung 
 hits the fan and there's no other way out. 
 
 You can use the waypoints to move between the different 
 acts. This is helpful if you want to go back and buy an 
 item or get something repaired. 
 
 Horadric Cube formulas:
 NOTE: These formulas will not work with patch 1.02 
 installed.
 
 The Horadric Cube, found in Act 2, works as a kind of magical 
 catalyst. 
 If you put certain items into the Cube, it will transform them 
 into another item. Here are a few formulas that work:
 
 2 quivers of Arrows = 1 quiver of Bolts
 2 quivers of Bolts = 1 quiver of Arrows
 1 quiver of Arrows + 1 Spear = 1 bundle of Javelins
 3 Perfect Gems + Magical Item (armor, weapon, jewelry) = random 
  high level item
 2 Topaz + 1 Ring = 1 Coral Ring (lightning resistance)
 3 Mana Potions + 3 Heal Potions = 1 Rejuvenation Potion
 3 Gems of same grade and type = 1 higher-graded Gem of same type
 3 Rings = 1 Amulet
 3 Amulets = 1 Ring

     limited on how much you can add.

 5)  Exit from game.

 Play in a Window:

 game with the command-line parameter -w.
 (ie: "C:Diablo 2Diablo II.exe" -w)

(Tested with version 1.01)
 When you die and are transported back into town, shutdown the game
 incorrectly (example: ALT + TAB back to Windows, press CTRL + ALT +
 DELETE and shutdown the Diablo 2 task). When you load the game back
 up again, your dead corpse will appear in town and you may collect
 your items/gold. 
 
 
 Secret Cow Level?
 In order to find the secret cow level you are going to need a few things. 
 
 1.Wirts Leg
 2.Beaten the Game
 3.Tome of Town Portal (with scrolls)
 4.The Horadric Cube 
 
 Once you have beaten the game go to the Rogue Encampment in Act I,
 then put Wirts Leg and a Tome of Town Portal 
 (This has worked with random ammounts of scrolls in the tome) into
 The Horadric Cube. Once you hit transmute they should disappear, 
 but once you close your inventory window there is a red portal that
 will lead you to the Secret Cow Level. This ONLY works in the 
 Rogue Encampment in Act I
