Muling Facts and FAQ
by hedonism

What is muling?
Muling is a loophole in the game that allows people to carry extra items on several characters.

How is it done?
Because a player cannot buy back an item put on the market themselves within 24 hours, two people must be involved.
The first player puts the item on the Market Place, and a friend buys it very quickly, before it can be seen by anyone else.
Then the friend puts the same item back up on the Market Place, while the first player buys it back with a new character.

Is there a safer way to do this?
No! This method is very risky! Your items are not safe on the Market Place, and can be bought at any time by any user.

Why doesn't njaguar make it safe?
This method is not supported by njaguar at all. If he wanted to make a safe muling method, he would. It would be very simple to make, but muling goes against what the game should be like.

If you choose to mule items, understand that njaguar is not liable for any items lost or stolen. If a user buys an item that was being muled, that user is in no way forced to return the item, or even admit to buying it. When an item is put on the Market Place, it is considered fair game for all users, no matter what price or intent.
Many items have been lost while muling in the past, and if the user who buys the item does not want to return it, then you are S.O.L.

If you have any questions, PM me.

opened for discussion

If it's not supported at all by paul, why can you post the method? Dont we want people to know as little as possible about it?

EDIT: I do it all the time so I dont care - but still haha.

its impossible to cover it all up, and its also impossible to prevent muling completely. the best thing to do is to lay all the facts out on the table, so no rumors start, or so nobody thinks that they cant lose their items, or if they do lose their items that they can be returned.

Understandable.

Couldnt you just put it up for sale, switch characters and buy it back?

No. You will get a message that tells you you cannot purchase your own items.

Also, in case you haven't noticed, this is the first edition of my Character Guides post. I will probably edit the title, to something that encopases information given out by the players from their experience, but if you have anything you would like to add to the sticky just PM me! I will do my best to make it happen

also, multi accounts violate d2jsp rules. So don't do it. You will get locked like many who have tried in the past.

there have been people who made multiple accounts for ladderslasher, and it all ends up the same way. Nowadays it's a lot harder to make a new account, so don't even bother if you value your account
