its reset time again so i just though id throw out some helpful hints for starting over.
*note "NPC" means non player character, towsfolk vendors ect
a lot of you probably know some of this stuff but for new and old players alike you might learn something.
shopping npcs: every reset i always shop the town merchants aka non player characters (NPCs) for useful gear.
here are some examples of what you can get in normal difficulty.
*NOTE to shop a NPC you have to go in and out of town using wp town exit portal or trapped door (act 2) to "re rol"l NPC
and i think it wont work if another player has they're character in that town so i often make a priv game to shop npcs. some times it takes alot of rerolls but be patient
theyl put one up for sale eventually.
my prices are a rough estimate and prices vary greatly.
lifetap wand: Drognon, Ormus a3, Jamella a4 mallaha5. around 200000 in game gold (IGG) levl req 24 (MUST HAVE POOR MANS MELE ITEM) (when your lvl 23 its a good time to buy one it will have red squares behind it!)
