Gear 45-60 lvl (Caster)

Items are meant for character level 45-60 (some items may require lvl 60 but most req lower).
Leveling gear will allow you to kill monsters quickly with lvl 60+ (Hell) 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 Obedience and other merc gear which will turn him into a killing machine (will easily kill immune monsters).

For the easiest leveling we recommend bringing alt BO Barb with you (using second D2) to get 200% more Life/Mana and 600% Defense.

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).

ARMOR: Viper or Stealth/Smoke MP
WEAPON: Spirit Sword
