SHIFTY'S EXCLUSIVE "MONEY TREE METHOD"~ Table of contents I - Intro a)F.A.Q b)NOW LETS GET INTO IT! c)Javazon and Boner build II - LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! Steps 1-10 (Easier part) III - THE HARD PART! Steps 11 - 17 (Watch out, this is where luck and skills in following directions come into play. VI - Conclusion a)Credits b)Thank you's and news *INTRO* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ F.A.Q. -Does this method really work? Yes. This method has worked since v1.9 and is now working for v1.11b. I have personly been useing it for along time and it has helped me get many of my items. -Does it only in hell? NO! WORKS IN NORM DIFFICULTY. Cool huh? -Why does it work? Baal will only enter into his chamber once the fifth wave has been killed, but what happens when you kill the fifth wave twice? He cant enter twice because he's already in there. The server doesn't realize what to do when baal isn't there to enter the portal so it panics and the game no longer exists! (This is all a theory on what I believe is happening) -How does this work? Please read the above to get an idea of what is happening. When the game no longer exists, that means that what ever happens after that point doesn't really happen! An item drops but the game doesn't remember you have dropped it so you will still have it. Mean while the other character that picked it up has it because he saved and exit'd. (This is also just a theory of mine) -Do the items "poof"? Unfortunatly, yes. But you can always dupe again! Imagine a wallet that has untold amounts of money but it can be spent. But also imagine when the wallet replentishes and all the money is back! I call this dupe method the "Money Tree Method" for this reason. -Can I get a friend to help me? I am asking you to do it your self... but yes you could. Keep in mind that they can FIX this bug at any time! So for that reason keep this as discreet as possible, please. I along with others use this method. -HELP! How do I run two diablo games at once? Just visit this link and read. http://newd2event.net/index.php?id=hacks/d2loader -This dupe is bull shit! Your doing it all wrong. -Can you help me? No. I am a very busy person. I barely play myself. I'm Sure you will get the jist of it soon. Remember, it must be done well and right and does not work every time. Patience. Its well worth the countless amount of atempts. NOW LETS GET INTO IT! First setup diablo to work with two accounts at once. (This link for this step is above) As you know, two accounts are required. If you don't have two, just make two. One account must have a Javazon (Javelin Amazon) and the other must have a Boner (Bone necro). THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE GODLY! Dont spend time and money getting a jewlers monarch with 4 5/5 light facets in it. This is only meant for normal difficulty. There are many builds out there for these characters but, for your convenience I have added the build's to this tutorial ;-) *(JAVAZON BUILD)* JAVAZON GUIDE 1.1 Table of Contents: 1. Headline and general informations 2. Abreviations 3. Gear and explanation (Jump to Gear shortcut if you're not interested in knowing why you use the suggested Gear) 4. Skills and stats 5. Merc 6. Dueling strategies 7. PvM Variations and Tips 8. Useful links 9. Special thanks 10. History Hope you'll Enjoy it ------------------------------------------------ 1. Headline and general informations First of all, my english isn't flawless (I'm a french-canadian ), so sorry for the several spelling and grammatical mistakes. I'll do my best to aknowledge you on my favorite D2 caracter and provide alternative solutions that goes from the Richest Jsp guy to the beginner that wants a funny, versatile and powerful Javazon. Any comment is welcome. ------------------------------------------------ 2. Abreviations (Skip if you're an experienced player) Zon: Amazon Java : Amazon using mostly the Javs and Spears skill tree Cs : Charged Strike Skill Lf : Lightning Fury D/A/E: Dodge / Avoid / Evade skills (Passive and magics) FCR: Faster Cast Rate IAS: Increase attack Speed FHR: Faster Hit Recovery FR/W: Faster Run / Walk FBR: Faster Block Rate ICB: Increase Chance of Blocking Strg: Strength (Stats) Vita: Vitality (Stats) Dext: Dexterity (Stats) Nrg: Energy (Stats) Res: Resistance (Cold Fire Light Poison) DR: Dommage Reduction Dmg: Dommage BM: Bad Mannered (When you're doing something wrong in a duel) Sc: Small Charm 15/15: +15% IAS // +15 to all resist Gcs: Refering to Skill Grand Charms, if no skill is stated its + to Javelins and Spears skills K: A thousand (1000) lvl: Level, often refering as the caracter's level or a specific skill's lvl Bp: Breakpoint (I will not get into that, just know that it's point you must acheive in let say IAS or something to be faster) AO: Alternative option Pretty useless but some1 that doesnt understand a term may appreciate this... I may have forgotten some so just tell me if theres terms you want me to Explain or Add. ----------------------------------------------- 3.Gear and explanation *the switch Gear is obviously Call To Arms (Flail or Crystal Sword) + Spirit (Monarch) Since this char is versatile, theres no *top* gear, its more a manner of combinaison that will make an Item more effective by adding the effects, dont worry you'll understand later. Here's the objectives you should acheive in order of priorities: 89% IAS (I haerd of a 140% Bp, however I never tried it) 86% FHR 145%+ All resists (+Anya's quest) 10K+ Cs Dmg lvl 12 D/A/E As Much Mana and Life as you can get (Obviously) As Much FR/W as you can HEAD: 1. Griffin's Eye - Obviously the best Helm due to the +% Lightning Dmg, -% Lightning Res AO: Rare Zon Circlet - +Skill - Fr/W - Strg - Dext - Res - Os) Some circlets are very good, but I still think that griffin is better. Shako - +Skill, Life, Mana, Dr Valkyrie Wings - +Skill, FHR, Fr/W ARMOR 1. 60 IAS // 60 All Res Armor of [+life] *** - You need it reach the 90%IAS Bp * AO: 60 IAS // 60 All res Armor of Stability [+24% FHR] * Enigma (MagePlate or Dusk) - +2 Skill, Fr/W, Teleport [see the dueling section] , Life, Strg [Javazon with a Dusk Nigma are Sexy ] Chain of Honor - +2 Skill, Resists, DR, Strg Skin of the Vipermagi - +1 Skill, Resist Notes: * If you use the armor giving FHR, you'll get Life Gcs, if you use an armor giving life, you'll get the FHR Gcs ** +20 // -20 Lightning Armor isn't a good choise because even with godly dmg, you wont reach the target without decent Resists *** 60 IAS // 60 Res armor refer to a 4os Magical Armor (Jeweler's) socketed with 4x 15 IAS // 15 All res Jewel WEAPON 1. Titan's Revange * - +4 Skills, Fr/W, Strg, Dext 2. Thunderstrokes ** - Better Dmg, -15% Lightning Resist AO: Magic Javelins ?, basicly you can get non-eth low dmg Titans 4 Pgems so theres not a lot of alternative weapons... Notes: *Dont spend to much on ETH High % Titans, non-eth 150%ed are still as good, just less sexy ** Only the +4 to Jav and Spear matter on T-strokes. You'll rather use them in some situations, see the Dueling section *** If you're rich enough to grab some +5-6, +20-40% Ias Jav, well do it. However, I never tried them and I heard that these magic javelins aren't good, but unfortunatly I never tested them. SHIELD 1. JMOD (Jeweler's Monarch of Deflection) - 4x 15//15'd - Using this shield allows you to use Enigma Instead of the 60//60 Armor 2. ATOD (Artisan's Tower Shield or Deflection) - 3x 15//15'd - Cheaper, but you'll have to stick with T-strokes or you wont reach 89%IAS 3. Stormshield - Def, ICB, FBR, DR, Res, Strg AO: Spirit - +2 Skills, FCR, FHR, Vita, Res (Against Caster) - Since FCR doesnt matter you can get a pretty cheap Spirit (Except Against Casters + Enigma) Moser's Blessed Circle Res, ICB, FBR (Nice cheap alternative) BELT 1. Thundergod's Vigor - Skills, Strg, Vita, Max Light resist, Lightning Absorb 2. Arachnid's Mesh +1 Skill, 10% slow target * AO: Rare Belt: Some Zon rather use rare belts with - FHR, Strg, Life, Res Verdungo's Hearty Cord - Vita, Dr, FHR ** Notes: * Some Dueler says that Thundergod is BM because it gives extra light res and absorb, in this Case Arach or a Rare belt is the best ** Some Dueler says that Arach is BM because it slow target, in this case use a Rare Belt or Verdungo GLOVES 1. +3 Javelins and Spears / +20% Ias - Still my favorite choice. You need them to reach the 89% IAS Bp AO: Rare Zon gloves - +2 Javs and Spears, +20 Ias, Strg, Life etc. (I still rather get +1 skills than minor mods but well there that's your personnal choice.) Gleclaw's Pincers - Knock Back Any 20IAS Gloves BOOTS Theres no perfect boots in this case, what you're aiming for is Fr/W FHR Strg Vita Resists 1. Godly Rare Boots (Such as Sspurs or Gspurs) Godly boots, but almost all unperm or very expensive, if you dont know what they are you better stick with treks. 2. Sandstorm Treks http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/elite/uboots.shtml * Fr/W, FHR, Strg, Vita AO: WaterWalk[/B] - Life, Dext, Fr/W [B]Any Boots with good Fr/W or mods mentioned above JEWELRY Ammy: 1.Mara's Kaleidoscope - +2 Skills, Stats, Resists 2.MetalGrid - Defence, Attack Rating, Resists 3.Highlord's wrath - +1 Skill, 20% IAS, Lightning Resist 4.Cat's Eye - Dext, IAS, Fr/W AO: Seraph's Hymn Note: *There's godly crafted Amazon Ammy but well if you get one that is better than Mara, go for it. Rings: 1st: Raven's Frost * - Dext, AR, CBF 2nd: Bul-katos' Wedding Band ** +1 Skill, Life AO: Rare Ring (Strg, Dext, Resist etc.) Notes: *You need at least 1 Raven to have Cannot Be Frozen (You just can't duel without this) **You can also use Stone or Jordan to get more mana, but well I rather have Life. CHARMS Hellfire Torch: *If you dont know what is a Torch just do a quick research you'll find it quickly Obviously as high as you can... Annihilus Obviously as High as you can... 9x Harpoonist's Gc of [Life] or [FHR] * Obviously as high as you can... 10x Small Charms: Aim for: FHR, Resist, Life, Strg Many combinaisons, see the shortcut for more informations on every charms General Explanation: *If you use the suggested Gear, you'll have 5 Open socket [4x Armor or Shield - 1x Helm] Some people will put Light Rainbow Facets in everything, wich is a mistake. *I rather use +15% IAS // +15 to all resist Jewels to reach the highest IAS BP as I can. If you cant afford such Jewels, Prubies, Um or anything you have is still a good AO. *You must get 86% FHR, my suggestion is to use: Sandstorm (20% FHR) 6x FHR Scs [+ Mod if you can] (30%FHR) 3x FHR Harpoonist's Gc (36% FHR) *I think that reaching the 176% FHR Bp is useless since you'll cruelly lack of other stats *Once you reached the FHR BP, get charms with as much life as you can. *Fr/W is important 4 a Javazon and a Light Armor (Let say a Dusk Shroud) is a clever choice, and its also sexy *Your D/A/E fpa will always be 6, no matter your FHR. GEAR SHORTCUT Stats It's like every other normal melee char: Strg: Enough to wear Gear Dext: Enough to Max Block Vita: all NRG: None 89% IAS Javazon: Griffin's Eye 15/15'd Enigma (Dusk Shroud) Titan's Revange 60 // 60 JMOD (A white Monarch is still good, but FBR and ICB worth it so much) Thundergod's vigor +3 Jav // +20% Ias Magic Gloves Sandstorm Treks Mara's Kaleidoscope Raven Frost Bul-Katos' Wedding Band Hellfire Torch Annihilus 3x FHR Harpoonist's Gc 6x [Life] Harpoonist's Gc 6x FHR + [Life//Res] Scs 4x Life + Res Scs Call to Arms + Spirit This Zon should Allow you to kick ass 95% Ias 86% FHR 10.743K Cs Dmg (With all Synergie Maxed) 205 All resists (Only the All resists, single resists from Scs or TReks aren't included) (According you have Perfect Gear) 95% FR/W Max Block Lot of Life Possibility to teleport Cs v C Javazon Here's the built I'm used to use against casters that you cant kill by throwing javelins. It's the same as above, you just switch armor 4 nigma and when you get close to them, just tele near. they wont expect a Java to tele so use the confusion to 1-hit-ko them with your Cs. It's also a great way to move faster with FCR gloves + spirit and to dodge WW barbs and Caster's attack and it's damn funny to Tele with a java in duels because no1 expect this Get as much Resists as possible since Enigma has no resists PvM Build: (Cheaper Version) Shako - Valkyrie is still a nice choice 4 PvM Enigma - Coh - Vipermagi Titans - Thunder-Strokes (Mostly against Bosses) Stormshield - Phoenix - Spirit (Depending on the situations) Thundergod's vigor FCR Gloves (I like Trang Gloves) Sandstorm Treks (Basicly, any boots will do...) Raven Frost Any Other ring... take the best you have Highlord's Wrath This build isn't really expensive and allows you to have fun PvMing, the great lack of this built is the IAS, since it's really hard//expensive to get some on a javazon. MERC MANY MANY combinaisons, my favorite 1 is still this built (Wich I think everybody is using...) : High Eth Kira (Some ppl rather use Andariel's Visage or Vampire's Gaze) Bugged ETH FORT (Or shaftstop 4 low budgeted guy) ETH CV Infinity (Insight 4 low-budgeted guy but well Infinity definitly worth the 4Hrs) This merc will stay alive, kill ennemies and the Conviction aura from infinity will break most light immunities. With Nigma + This merc I used to Baal and Chaos with this java pretty easily. You basicly Destroy everything in 3 Lf... DUELLING STRATEGIES *My worst nightmare when I'm dueling with this Java are smiters since I cannot dodge or Block them. My Best strategy that far is to ran straight on them, then I throw a lightning bolt (12K dmg) and while they are stunt (Do to the FHR) I land the 1st hit (With Cs) And this way they almost always die before I do. Another strategy but well it's a little BM is to Tele + Throw Lightning Bolts 'til they die. *Another big problems are the Firesorc. (Well, according that Absorb is considered BM by you or by the FireSorc) Best tactic is to dodge manually the FBS (They exploses when they hit target so even if you dodge you'll get the dommages most of the time) until you're close enough to make them tele away. When they do so it's the best time to rain Lightning bolts where they tele. *Some people keeps on saying that FarCast Zon cant be ebaten by Legit Cs Zon, well with my built they are a jock and since they Bm why not use Whisp against them? *I'll add more Duel tips as people ask me to *This Javazon build allows you to have fun, it's sincerly the funiest Dueler Char I've ever played with. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *(BONER BUILD)* Hello there, and welcome to my guide to a Bone Necro. This guide is based off of my Bone Necros I had created. I had made one on ladder and non-ladder and will post both gear I used on both. This guide will be for the Necro I had on ladder. I know there are much better things to use such as the dupes like storm circlet and rare duped boots, but I'm sticking with legit here. I'm not giving a ton of options because this is based on my Necro. Another problem is that as I do this I'm not totally aware of every detail on my Necro because I am currently unable to access D2. Bear with me as I'm kind of doing this blindfolded. ^^ Hope you enjoy and please post any comments. Index: Abbreviations Break Points Stats Skills Gear Strategies Abbreviations: Fcr - Faster Cast Rate Fhr - Faster hit recovery Bp ? Break Point Gmerc ? Glitch Merc? Well you can ignore that now Str ? Strength Dex ? Dexterity Df ? Dragon Flight Break Points: http://strategy.diabloii.net/news.php?id=551 This is where I obtained the information and is quite useful. Frames - Faster Cast Rate: 15 - 0 14 - 9 13 - 18 12 - 30 11 - 48 10 - 75 9 - 125 (You'll be shooting for this) Frames - Faster Hit Recovery: 13 - 0 12 - 5 11 - 10 10 - 16 9 - 26 8 - 39 7 - 56 6 - 86 5 - 152 (You'll be shooting for this) 4 - 377 Stats: Strength: Just enough to use gear (Hopefully none) Dexterity: Just enough to use gear (Hopefully none) Vitality: Everything once you have enough Str/Dex for gear Energy: What's this? Skills: 1 Decrepify (This is merely an option but I recommend it) 1 Lower Resist (This is merely an option but I recommend it) 1 All Summons (I used my Necro as a chaoser with gmerc so I used an iron golem made of insight. Summons are always helpful) 20 Teeth 20 Bone Spear 20 Bone Spirit 20 Bone Prison 20 Bone Wall (Obviously you won't be able to max all of these. I believe I just started putting a few into Bone Wall at level 89. I prefer to max Bone Prison because it comes quite handy when dueling) Gear: Helm: Shako 'Shael' - +AllSkills/Life/Mana/Dr Armor: Enigma - No brainer. I'd go for breast plate because of low str requirement. Weapon: Wiz - 50Fcr/Mana. I socketed my wiz with a 7Fhr/9Str/-15%Req Jewel. The 7Fhr helped me reach the Fhr Bp, the 9 str helped me use less str for Spirit Monarch, and the Req Jewel let me put less points into dex. Shield: Spirit Monarch - 35%Fcr/Vit/Mana/Resists. Gloves: Bloodfists - Fhr/Life. I love these gloves. Upping them is a good idea. Belt: Arachnids - +AllSkills/Fcr. Boots: Sandstorm Treks - Yes I know rare duped boots would be much better so actually I'd go with them. In this case though, Fhr/Str/Vit. Amulet: Mara's - Again, storm circlet would be the better option so use that if you can/want. In this case though, +AllSkills/Attributes/Resists. Rings: Fcr Ring - You still need 20 more Fcr if you're using Mara's so a good Fcr ring is what you need. Other good mods on it are very helpful like Life/Mana/Resists. Fcr Ring - You still need 10 more Fcr so... well same thing here. (I recommend using Storm Circlet so this way you can use 2x Sojs here. Weapon Switch: Weapon: Call To Arms - Any low requirement weapon will do. I use an Eth Flail. The higher Bo, the better. Shield: Eth Spirit Monarch - Spirit gives you +2 Skills so obviously it's the best choice. I used an Eth so it's 10 less Str Req. Inventory: Necro Torch - Try to get the best you can. Annihilus - Try to get the best you can. 9x Pnb Lifers - If you can't afford lifers just get plains or minor mods. Whatever you want. 10x Small Charms - Ok, if you didn't hit the 152%Fhr Break Point yet, here's where you have to finish. Get enough 5%Fhr/(2nd Mod if you can get) Small Charms to Reach 152%Fhr. With 7Fhr from your wiz you'll be able to hit exactly 152%Fhr. If you still have room for more Small Charms, just use what you need. Life/Resist Small Charms would be the best. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ****************************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************** LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! Steps 1-10 1)By now you should have done this, get one javazon and one boner. 2)Run/Teleport to the Throne of Destruction and let Baal spawn the first wave of enemies. DON'T KILL THEM! 3)When the wave is spawned, escort them ALL to the begining/border of Throne of Destruction. 4)Do this with all the waves. 5)Baal should have retreated into the Worldstone Chamber. Take the five wave of monsters back to the main area. (Where they spawned) 6)With the Necromancer make Bonewalls around all the monsters until they can no longer move. 7)Kill the first wave of monsters with your Javazon. 8)The second wave will now spawn again! 9) Do this with all the monsters and the game should "Mega Lag" 10)When game is "Mega Lag", it will "no exist". ****************************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************** THE HARD PART!
