Hammerdin MF (Classic)

200% Magic Find Blessed Hammer Pala equipment without character (account), which we sell separately.
This gear guide is for Diablo 2 Classic. You can convert your character to Lord of Destruction (LoD) but there are better unique items and runewords available in the expansion.
We recommend bringing alt BO Barb with you whilst farming (using second D2) to get 125% more Life and Mana.

Hammerdin is the strongest Classic build and can easily solo farm Chaos Sanctuary and Diablo on Hell (with Platinum+ gear).
You may request different items, as long as they are priced similarly.
