www.BlackViper.com: Diablo 2 Mule How 2 Page 1

Introduction

Curious about the "players x" command? JUMP TO THAT SECTION HERE!

First of all, I would like to thank Blizzard for creating a game that has passed more time and money away than any other game! I played Diablo off and on for over 3 years before Diablo 2 came out. I also am thankful that the items I would have changed were now in place, but for the most part, this article is NOT about reviewing Diablo 2, it is about getting the most from the game.

If you want to pass this information along, please tell people about my pages. Don't take credit where credit is not due. I have worked hard to bring this information to you, please respect that. Now, on with the show!

Mule's date back as far as multiplayer RPG's. Usually, the extra storage space (hence "mule") or the security of the game "always being online" is a good thing... a flash back from the days of compatibility and crash nightmares. As an example, you could toss all your items on the ground in town while adventuring, and if the "lockup beast" attacked, you could rejoin and all of the items will still be in place! But, there has not been more of a reason to Mule than with Diablo 2. The rewards are many.

• Having 8 times the storage available is a HUGE concern with the amount of available items and sets in the game. Not to mention the fact that I am a big pack rat when it comes to equipment, you just never know when you are going to need an item.
• The increases in experience points are huge. Makes the difference between a few hours and a few days in leveling up at the later stages of the game.
• Serving the game from a different computer than what you are playing on, keeps the "speed freak" in all of us at bay.
• Having the "Party Screen" filled up is a reward in its self!
• Quest rewards are multiplied by 8. "Here is a Magic Ring," or "Add Sockets."
  

Needless to say, not everything is ever perfect when it comes to doing something that is out of the norm, there is some quirks that need to be addressed and questions answered and that is where this article comes in. I hope to get some information out as to what can and cannot be done as well as help Blizzard sell 50 million more copies?
