Differences between Classic and Expansion
This is the forum for Classic Discussion:
http://forums.d2jsp.org/forum.php?f=57
To create a Classic character, uncheck the box for 'Expansion' when creating a character.
Classic Characters can exist on all realms and cores, but as they are separate from Expansion characters, they double the amount of total playing 'realms'. A Classic character may, at any time, be converted to Expansion and played (provided you have the Expansion installed) though they can not be changed back.
Classic Characters cannot access a large amount of content that Expansion characters do.
General:
No Act 5 or Monsters/Mercenaries that only exist in it, including the Pandemonium Quest
Note: This removes the level restriction between acts, allowing users to be rushed to Hell with no 'bumper' characters
Note 2: This ALSO removes the Larzuk Socket quest from the list of ways you can socket items.
Certain Character Classes are missing
No Assassin
No Druid
Area Levels are different:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=SFNvLuGw
Note: In Classic,
many
normal monsters have a hardcored level different from the area level, along with all Super Uniques and Bosses. (For example, certain monsters in Travincial)
The stash is 6x4 instead of 6x8
No crafting
Diablo Clone does NOT drop an Annihilus Charm, though he will spawn when the correct amount of Stones of Jordan are sold on a server, in a Hell game.
Mercenaries cannot be resurrected, follow between Acts, receive items/potions, or have their stats viewed
Summoned creatures, like Necromancer revived monsters disappear between acts.
No /players x commands
No 800 x 600 Resolution (Unless you have the Expansion Pack installed and have a Classic character on it)
Many magic modifiers are missing or changed (Check affix list below, though note that is may have faults)
Blocking does NOT depend on Dexterity, just what is on your Shield + Bonuses
Various fairly minor monster stat changes
Javelins, throwing axes and throwing knives cannot be magic or rare, and cannot be imbued.
Awarded Character titles for completing Difficulties are different:
For Softcore:
Defeating Normal for Male is Sir and Female is Dame
Defeating Nightmare for Male is Lord and Female is Lady
Defeating Hell for Male is Baron, and Female is Baroness
For Hardcore:
Defeating Normal for Male is Count and Female is Countess
Defeating Nightmare for Male is Duke and Female is Duchess
Defeating Hell for Male is King and Female is Queen
No Static Field cap in NM / Hell
Whirlwind is not affected by any form of Increased attack speed (as a mod or on the weapon base)
Blessed Hammer receives full %Enhanced Damage from Concentration, instead of the 50% in Expansion
Resistances are only -50 in Hell and -20 in Nightmare on Classic, instead of the -100 for Hell and -40 for Nightmare in the Expansion
Applies to not only Fire/Cold/Light/Poison Resistance but to Mana/Stamina damage and reduced poison length
