FAQ's and Strategy Guides
For playing tips, move lists and other information, please read the Diablo FAQ from www.GameFAQs.com.
Attribute Trick
If you don't have enough of one attribute to use a weapon, helmet, or armor then put a ring or amulet that will give you enough of one attribute to use it. Apply the ring or amulet then put the item on then take the ring off and the item won't turn red and you can still use it. Note this only works if the item you want to use gives you points to the attribute you need to boost.
Duplicate Books and Elixir
You may duplicate books and elixir like as money: you must load a character with some books or elixir and another character. Now the character with the items (books and elixir) must drops them and the second player must grab them. Now the second player must use all items and save the character. Then quit the game and reload the same Character. Now repeat the trick as many times as you want.

Important: Player one must NEVER save the character!

Duplicate Cheat
Need cash and equipment fast? Well if you have two controllers this is the cheat for you! All you need to do is start a two-player game and load two characters or load one and start a new one. Now transfer all gold and any equipment to one character. Save that character and start a new game again. When you load the character all you need to do is sell stuff and build a gold pile. Save again then repeat the process as needed.
Easy Money
This tip will help you have almost infinite cash without a gameshark!

All you have to do is create a character and save him the pick a 2 player game and load the same character for both players. VOALA! You have 10,000g for each player! keep doing this til' you have 1,000,000g and you have money forever!
