I have seen plenty of walkthroughs on this site and are planning to make one on my own.

Which character is recommended for a strictly p8 hardcore game?

I do have no expirience with hardcore at all. So sort of a low level guide would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

easiest characters would be:

-hammerdin
-blizz sorc
-javazon
-trapsin
-summon nec

not in that particular order

Normal:
Rerun Cold Plains camp with superboss Shaman (forgot his name) for Rare drops.
Rerun Tristram for some easy levels
Rerun Countess on /players1 till you can make Stealth + another rw if needed (only for certain characters)
Rerun Andariel after you Quest Bug her for some possible gear upgrade

Run through act2 and never look back
Repeat Act2 tactic till you reach Frigid Highlands in Act5.
Run Shenk/Eldritch for some good experience and proceed straight down to Baal and Nightmare.


Nightmare:
Run the shit out of Andariel after Quest Bug as Nightmare Andariel is easy enough, but can drop amazing items such as Vipermagi, Soj etc.
Same thing goes for Nightmare Mephisto. Drops are so juicy that it's not strange if person does 500+ Meph runs in Nightmare.
Run through Act4 and 5. If you're bowzon/javazon, spend some time rolling Anya's shop for gloves.

Hell:
Lower Kurast in Act3 is best place in game to get High Runes (superchests)

Finding Bases:
Cows or Pits with 0mf

Mfing:
Any area with lvl 85 such as Pits, Ancient Tunnels, Mausoleum etc.

Early way to get easy gold:
Collect Exploding potions, Necromancer wands, Sorceress staffs, Throwing Knives.
Before reaching Cold Plains, you should be sitting on 20k gold.


While fighting melee monsters, switch from RUN to WALK.



this is from top of my head, there's probably 20 times as much "tips" that would be useful

Thanks mate

Is there some sort of gear guide for the lower levels for say the javazon or bowazon?

I never found it hard to grind through on p1 and gear up once im done but i realised its a pain in the arse if youre not skilled/equipped properly at p8 on lower levels.

I'd argue that blizz sork is in this list. She can get one shotted quite easily in nm, hell. I just walked through in sc and well yes, it's sc, but still didn't want to die and still managed. :D

Others are quite right

it is trust me
its so easy to have a sorc at decent gear and have her farm the shit out of Andy or meph
also the farm Areas with tunnels or masoleum are really safe
