Diablo 2: Resurrected: Useful Beginner Tips

[REseso]

1. Maximize your Vitality attribute

The equipment and weapons you use require strength and dexterity to equip, so be sure you have enough of both for your best gear. Dexterity also plays into the block stat; if you'd like to maximize your block chance, save enough points. Otherwise, all attribute points should go into Vitality.

2. Find and use waypoints for fast travel

The game's Acts are split into regions, and most regions have their own waypoint that can be used for fast travel. However, you must discover and activate the waypoint in the wild before it can be accessed from the Act's main town.

Waypoints are static spots that will always appear in a certain region. Don't confuse them with Town Portals, which are user-created portals that expire once they're used or the game is exited back to the main menu.

3. Focus your build

With the three difficulty levels — Normal, Nightmare, and Hell — you get three stat and skill resets from Akara for free. Tokens of Absolution are made by combining special essences received when killing bosses in Hell difficulty, making them rare and expensive. For this reason, you want to be careful when choosing skills for your character.

4. Upgrade your belt ASAP

You begin the game without any special gear, and one of the first items you should look out for is a belt. Basic belts will expand your potion slots by four, while advanced belts expand slots by up to 12 for a total of 16. Even a basic belt doubles your available space, which will reduce the amount of time you spend moving potions from your bag to the belt hotbar. If you want to buy cheap D2R Items, check SSEGold now.

5. Keep gear with +Skill stats

While you receive skill points when you level up or complete certain quests, the next best way to get a boost to your skills is via gear. It is rare, but anything you find that boosts your preferred skills should be prioritized (at least unless it causes you to be a lot weaker). The best gear with +Skills will be legendary (gold/brown), and Runewords, though rare (yellow) items can also roll with some excellent stats.

6. Sell yellow gear for bucks

Gold is always important in Diablo 2: Resurrected. You'll need it to buy potions, portals, and ID scrolls at the start of the game, and you'll need it to resurrect your mercenary in the late game. Dying also causes you to lose a bunch of gold, so a tough boss fight can leave you poor.

The best way to amass gold is to pick up yellow items, identify them, and sell them to merchants. A lot of the time you'll be able to get the maximum amount of gold in return.
