How do I take a screenshot? | '''How do I take a screenshot?''' | ||
This is a frequently asked question, and the answer is quite simple. You just hit the PrintScreen key, and they are saved to your Diablo II folder in .jpg format at very high quality. You can set a custom key for it if you so desire, for in-game screenies, but be aware that ONLY PrintScreen works for screenies of Battle.net chat. | |||
'''Can I wear two Item Sets at the same time?''' | |||
What are Exceptional Items? | Yes, a couple of the sets have no overlapping items, and can be equipped simultaneously. However there are bugs with it; the bonus for a full set will only be displayed for one set, and sometimes no sets, usually the one you've equipped first. We have mixed reports as to whether you actually get both bonuses, though this issue came up during the Closed Beta, since there were a couple of people who managed to get two entire sets together, and Blizzard North did a programming fix for it at the time that appeared to work. | ||
'''Where can I find Horadric Cube recipes?''' | |||
We have a page with every known cube recipe, and a number of unknown recipes. | |||
'''What are Exceptional Items?''' | |||
Exceptional (abbreviated "Excep")items are higher quality versions of normal items that can ONLY be dropped by monsters (never bought from NPCs) and only on Nightmare and Hell difficulty. There is a 5% chance an item will be Excep on Nightmare and 10% chance on Hell. There are no set or unique Excep items, but there are Rares and socketed Excep items, and Rare Exceptionals make up the majority of higher level character equipment. There are no Excep rings or amulets, and several Excep items are not dropped in the game due to an error in the programming code. Whether this error is an accident or was put in on purpose by Bliz to keep these items from dropping is unknown. | |||

Rares are a sort of cross between Uniques and Magical items. They have multiple modifiers, as many or more than Uniques can have, but the modifiers are randomly determined. However they have names like uniques. | Rares are a sort of cross between Uniques and Magical items.

Item Sets are comprised of from three to six items, all with similar names and properties. The fun of them is trying to collect the whole set, since if you do, large | Item Sets are comprised of from three to six items, all with similar names and properties. The fun of them is trying to collect the whole set, since if you do, large bonuses will be bestowed upon your character. | ||
To add to the fun, Uniques and some Set Items have unique graphics on your character, so they are potent items, and a fun fashion show as well. | |||
=Item Requirements= | |||
These are pre-set on many Uniques and base items, and are also included on some of the higher-quality modifiers as well. Of course there are still strength and/or dexterity requirements for most items. | |||
In terms of Clvl requirements, You will never find any items that your character can't equip yet, unless you are far far deeper into the dungeons than you should be, and you'd only be surviving at that level if you were part of a large party of higher Clvl characters. These requirements are mostly useful to keep "hand-me-down" characters from having such an easy time of it, and they are less needed in Diablo II than they were in the first game, since there aren't any elixirs to provide easy boosts to meet the strength or other requirements. | |||
=Item Appearance= | |||
The appearance of wearable items is customized to the character in both shape and hue. There is a "one size fits all" aspect to equipment. The silver platemail that the Paladin wears will not look the same on the Amazon, since when she equips the same item, it will reshape itself to her curves, and transform into the golden tones that she favors. There are also many in-game graphics for equipment, with far more than three armour appearances. You can mix and match your character's appearance, with different types of helms and weapons and shields and other armour, and come up with a very attractive look, or go fully for function, and wear whatever you find that serves you the best. | |||

Throwing axes, javelins, knives, and potions are covered in detail on the Throwing Items Page. | |||
