Gear 30-45 lvl (Melee)

Items are meant for character level 30-45 (some items may require lvl 45 but most req lower).
Leveling gear will allow you to kill monsters quickly with lvl 45+ (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: Peace or Smoke MP
WEAPON: Honor Naga/Zweihander
SHIELD: Whitstan's Guard or Rhyme Grim Shield
AMULET: Angelic
RING 1: Angelic
RING 2: Raven
HELM: Guillaume or Gaze
BELT: Immortal King
GLOVES: Immortal King
BOOTS: Immortal King
MERC: Insight Partizan + Gaze + Shaftstop or Duriel (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 + Valkyrie)
Ama Java: Charged Strike + Lightning Fury (Valkyrie)
Assa: Dragon Talon + Mind Blast (Venom + Burst of Speed + Shadow Warrior)
Barb: Concentrate/Whirlwind + Leap Attack (Weapon Mastery + BO)
Druid: Fury + Feral Rage (Werewolf + Heart of Wolverine)
Pala: Zeal/Charge/Smite + Fanaticism (Redemption + Holy Shield)
Pala: Charge + Concentration (Redemption + Holy Shield)

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

	Peace grants +2 to Critical Strike (Amazon passive usable by any class). It gives 25% 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.
	Peace grants 2% chance to cast level 15 Valkyrie on striking (Amazon minion usable by any class). This tank will get 1760 life, 350% damage, 600% Attack Rating (AR) and 140% defense.
	Smoke grants 18 charges of level 6 Weaken (Necromancer curse usable by any class). It lasts for 6-26 seconds over 9 yards area and reduces enemy's physical damage by -33%.
	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.
