How do I get rich?

[aNdRRewW]

lol.. I got 5 SoJs right now, a level 82 Blizz sorc beat hell and all that
I`m bored of baal runs and cant MF because I dont have good enough items, my cousin is telling me to first get enigma, then get other stuff, and build up a hammerdin then mf with that. but why not MF with the sorcy?
oh btw.. what should I do?
items:
eschutas
glooms belt
manald
magic ring
ammy with +3 cold skills
trang ouls armor (LOL!!!)
chance guards/frosties
wartravs 35%/sanders
eye of wall less
dusk howl helm
and 5 SoJs..

Do mf runs (Meph, some people like pindle/baal or even chaos) repeatedly until you get a bunch of items. Then move to a mule character (With a trusted friend's help) and repeat.

 

[Darkmatter]

Enigma sucks for Sorceress. Get Chains of Honor instead.

 

[Laharl]

Yeah, I agree with DM. CoH have more you could use, or at least use a fort for cast rate, etc.

 

[Darkmatter]

Skills/Res is better...Enigma is for people who need teleport mostly, IMO.

 

[Laharl]

Last I checked fort also had "OK" resists, and chance to cast chill armour on struck which means a lot more defence.

 

[Darkmatter]

Do you want to get hit regardless if you're a sorceress?

 

[Laharl]

No, but it's still a useful, neat feature on it and it also has resists/defense and cast rate.

 

[Guru]

If you want FCR use ormus or viper skin

 

[Darkmatter]

Upped Um Viper sounds pretty decent...

 

[Laharl]

Yeah, definitely go CoH in retrospect.

 

[Darkmatter]

I usually lack resistances...so ya, CoH for me if I ever couldof afforded one...

 

[aNdRRewW]

well. the nigma was for hammerdin . I already knew to get CoH if i were to stay with sorc lol. anyways, is it worth making a hammerdin.. btw.. I must make a new character though, my sorcs stats are all screwed up. theres no way I would make it out alive in regular pvm or pvp. I mf meph usually, and havent gotten much yet. still have the 5 sojs though. My cousin told me that makin a hammerdin was the best choice because it can pvm/mf and deal lots of damage with moderately cheap items. I got some more items..
aldurs helm
lots of sigons crap ( useless )
ali baba ( 82, my level )
war travs 35% ( HAHA )
peasant crown
felicitous (SP) ring of fortune. (32%)
nagel ring
40% chance guards
glooms
+2 cold skills ammy.. ( first post was a mistake )
+1 to sorc skills shield
eschutas (when not mfing, which is rare)

oh, that was my sorc's items .. lol my bad, but the other things dont have a great value.

 

[Darkmatter]

Hammerdins can MF too...basically they're an all purpose character that can do all the needed functions in D2...

 

[Laharl]

It's a good start and I wish you luck, sir.

 

[[Koolaid]]

Coh is only 3 sojs. if its a real good one. u coudl dprolly get a dusk coh for 2 sojs.. and umm fort is definately not as good choice. especailly for nl... Expensive and its for melee chars...

Um's Up'd Perf ViperMagi is a good choice.

 

[Laharl]

Yeah, but with me I had a Fort lying around (Which I was given for free) so it was my choice for armour. I had nothing else.

 

[Darkmatter]

Gotta uses the deck of cards you're given, I suppose. ^^

 

[aNdRRewW]

thanks guys, I MFed alot, and got these items:
shako
war travs
maras 29%
highlords
marrowwalks
sandstorm
waterwalks
I have a nagel 30% and a feriticousdfasd,shagd ring of fortune 32% mf ( had these for a while )
lots of necro crap... ( nothing very good )
1-2 trangs gloves
oh and got a free superior knout ( flail ) with 5 sockets. worth anything?
and I got a few tals lidless eye wand things, but threw em away. just kept the belt and gave the helm to my bro.
and more.. just forgot. still have those 5 SoJs =P.
I started a necro, supposedly a bone spear. But I still have a lv9 pally.
What would you guys say, hdin or bSpear

I found that using 150-190 MF is better then 250% from my experience.

 

[Laharl]

Runeword the flail and you're going to be rich soon enough
