Gear 15-30 lvl (Melee)

Items are meant for character level 15-30 (some items may require lvl 30 but most req lower).
Leveling gear will allow you to kill monsters quickly with lvl 30+ (late Normal or early Nightmare) without dying, even if you play alone (without party). Equipment is composed of all kinds of items: set, unique, runewords and possibly rare + magic, it includes a low lvl Insight and other merc gear (infinite mana).

For the easiest leveling we recommend bringing alt BO Barb with you (using second D2) to get 200% more Life/Mana and 600% Defense and/or Enchantress Sorc to get around 5000 fire damage on each attack and 450% Attack Rating.

You may receive more than one item for some slots - if there are two equally great items equippable within pack's requirements (so you can choose).
You may also purchase appropriate LLD gear instead, for even quicker leveling but as it is created for PvP, it will be an overkill (one-shotting most of the monsters).

Example Equipment:
ARMOR: Stealth LP or The Spirit Shroud or Twitchthroe
WEAPON: Cleglaw's Tooth or Crushflange and Honor Naga/Zweihander
SHIELD: Whitstan's Guard or Rhyme Grim Shield
AMULET: Angelic
RING 1: Angelic
RING 2: Angelic
HELM: Peasant Crown or Lore
BELT: String of Ears or Nightsmoke
GLOVES: Bloodfist
BOOTS: Sander's Riprap or Tearhaunch
MERC: Insight Partizan + The Face of Horror or Duskdeep + Twitchthroe or The Spirit Shroud (items may be ethereal as they won't break if worn by a mercenary)

Recommended setups:
Ama Bow: Guided Arrow + Multiple Shot (Critical Strike + Dodge/Avoid/Evade/Penetrate/Pierce)
Ama Java: Charged Strike + Lightning Bolt (Valkyrie)
Assa: Dragon Talon + Mind Blast (Burst of Speed + Shadow Warrior)
Barb: Concentrate + Leap Attack (Weapon Mastery + BO)
Druid: Fury + Feral Rage (Werewolf + Heart of Wolverine)
Pala: Zeal/Charge/Smite + Concentration (Holy Shield)
Pala: Charge + Might (Holy Shield)

Diablo 2 Classic (no LOD) gear will not contain any runewords, mercenary items or exceptional/elite unique/set.

	Insight grants level 12-17 Meditation when equipped (Paladin aura usable by any class). It gives 575-700% mana recovery (+25% per level), which makes it extremely difficult to run out of mana even if you are spamming your abilities.
	Insight grants +1-6 to Critical Strike (Amazon passive usable by any class). It gives 16-46% chance to deal double physical damage (56-63% at level 10-15). It will not stack with Deadly Strike (DS) as only one of those effects can trigger but having high % of both, gives you a higher chance of dealing double damage most of the time.
