Retrieving items after death
- 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.
Quick belt item access
- If you want to get the items in your belt quickly, press [Esc] to pause game play, move your mouse over the object you want to use, then press [Esc] to resume the game. Then, immediately click on the item you want to use.
- To achieve fast access to your belt when you either need to open a portal or use a potion, press [Esc] to pause game play. Scroll to your belt and right click what you want to use. The selected item will appear over a red background. Scroll back up to your character to prepare for the attacks once you resume the game. Press [Esc], which will simultaneously resume the game and use the potion and/or scroll you have selected, without the need to stop attacking any enemies around you.
Easy Gems
In Act 1, defeat Andariel. Every time you defeat her,
you will get two chipped gems and one normal gem.Easy Runes
At the Tower Cellar level 5, kill the Boss as many
times as desired. You will always get one to two Runes.
Gain gold 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.
- 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.
- Get a Tome of Town Portal and lots of Town Portal scrolls. When your inventory gets full, leave the items you want to keep and go through a Town Portal to the Rogue Encampment. Sell the items that you do not want and go back though the portal. All your items will still be there on the ground.
- If you have completed Act 3 under any difficulty setting, keep going back and killing Mephisto. He drops a lot of equipment which you can sell or use, and he is not very strong.
- On Act 1 during the mission to save Cain, you will find Wirt dead. Go to him and click on him. He will spill out a lot of gold. You can exit Tristram through the portal then return to town. Click on Wirt again and he will have more money. The same can be done with Griswald; he will drop items every time you kill him. He will also keep returning to life.
- In some houses, there will be a messed up sheet on a bench or bed. Although no message will appear when your pointer is over it, click it. You may get large amounts of gold and/or weapons.
- Go to Travincal, in Act 3, and defeat the high council. Every member gives you either a lot of gold or a magical item. This can be done as many times desired by choosing to save and exit and starting again.
- A quick way of getting better gems when you are past Act 1, is to go back to Act 1. Look for gem shrines. Most of the time you can dodge the monsters and go directty for the shrines. The Gem Shrines are somewhat rare, but it is still faster than finding three of the same kind and putting them in the Horadric Cube.
More gold for items
- 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.
More space
Acquire the Horadric Cube and keep it in your inventory.
It only takes four spaces and gives you twelve spaces when it
is open, allowing you to carry more items for your collection.

Unlimited gold
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.
Unusable items
If you have a weapon that you cannot use, throw it
on the floor and put something else in your hand that is usable.
Then, open the inventory and pick up the unusable item. Put it
in your hand and will now be usable.
Keep item in next game
After you kill Diablo and have some time before the
game ends, if you do not have any room in your inventory open
the inventory and pick something up. When the game ends you will
start a new game with that item.
Safe gold storage
- If your stash is full of gold and you do not want to lose everything if you get killed, drop all your gold beside your stash or somewhere in town. You can go out and fight without worrying, but must pick up your gold again before you save and exit.
- Note: Items will disappear if you leave them next to your box and they sit there long enough while you are in a different zone. It does not appear to have anything to do with how many items drop off monsters; it has to do with time.
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.
Unlimited town portals
Note: This trick requires Battle.net. Play in a game
with another player. Have the other player make a town portal,
then make your own town portal. Go through his portal and have
the other player go through yours. The town portals will last
until either of you go through your own portal.
Cubing socketed swords
In Act 2 after getting the Horadric Cube, you can add
any sword and 3 chipped gems into the Cube. Press the "Transmute"
button and a new socketed(3) magical sword should be in the place
of the other items. Note: Make sure no other items are in the
Cube -- they will get lost when transmuting.
Avoiding trapped chests
A normal chest will have a single squeak when you open
it. A trapped chest will have a sound like two squeaks that are
happening at the same time. If you listen closely, you will hear
the normal squeak and a similar but different squeak. After the
sound, you will have about one second to run away. You will not
make it if you are walking and the trap is a projectile.
Better shield defense
Put perfect amethysts in your shield to raise its defense.
For example, getting an ancient shield with three perfect amethysts
will add 86 to the defense.
Easier rare items
- Find and equip two Rings Of Fortune (increases the chance to get a better item), a socketed Helm, two gems of Topaz (best if they are perfect), Gloves Of Fortune, Boots Of Fortune and an Amulet Of Fortune and equip them. With all that equipped, the least amount you should have is 60%, but you may get higher.
- In the Blood Moor there will be one or two houses. At least one almost always has a magic, rare, unique, or set item.
Wirt's Leg
When you have to save Cain in Act 1, do not take Wirt's
Leg because you will waste space by carrying it around. Instead
of taking it immediately, wait until you are at level 30 then
go back to Tristam to get the leg.
Getting rid of chipped gems
When you have too much chipped gems, simply use the
Horadric Cube that you find on Act 2 on three of the same kind
of gem. You will get one single upgraded gem.
