*Hold Alt to get a name pop-up for all items on the ground. | |||
*Buy a book of Town Portal scrolls as soon as you can easily afford it, and don't be afraid to use them regularly. 200 gold for a bit of TP is much better than a messy wipe. | *Buy a book of Town Portal scrolls as soon as you can easily afford it, and don't be afraid to use them regularly. 200 gold for a bit of TP is much better than a messy wipe. | ||
*Finding the teleport pad in each zone is much more important in multiplayer than single player, but even in SP, it's still worth tracking down just in case you get surprise-killed and have to run back to grab your gear. | *Finding the teleport pad in each zone is much more important in multiplayer than single player, but even in SP, it's still worth tracking down just in case you get surprise-killed and have to run back to grab your gear. | ||
*Before you go into a zone/boss fight you think you might lose, open a town portal scroll but don't go through it. Then, if you die, you can come through from the other side, grab your gear, and run back out again. | *Before you go into a zone/boss fight you think you might lose, open a town portal scroll but don't go through it.

*After you beat the game, but before you go to the next difficulty, return to the Rogue Encampment and fuse Wirt's Leg from Tristram with a Scroll of Town Portal. You're welcome. | |||
*Once you defeat the final boss of the last act, you will unlock what is essentially a New Game+ campaign difficulty called Nightmare. This includes new items, more powerful and varied unique enemies, and generally a much more difficult experience. If you beat it on Nightmare, you then unlock Hell, which is the same, but moreso. | *Once you defeat the final boss of the last act, you will unlock what is essentially a New Game+ campaign difficulty called Nightmare.

*Theoretically, a well-built character could get through Nightmare without a guide, but if you're going to go into Hell, or aren't 100% certain about your ability to take on Nightmare, you should look up a character-build guide and build one from the list that seems interesting to you, before going into Nightmare/Hell. Going into the new difficulty refreshes Azhara's reset, but doesn't let you keep one that you wasted. | *Theoretically, a well-built character could get through Nightmare without a guide, but if you're going to go into Hell, or aren't 100% certain about your ability to take on Nightmare, you should look up a character-build guide and build one from the list that seems interesting to you, before going into Nightmare/Hell.

*Eventually, once your level's in the 50s or 60s, you may want to start looking up Runewords. They're specific combinations of runes, in a specific order, that grant special bonuses to nonmagical items they're socketed into. | |||
