Gear 45-60 lvl (Melee)

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.

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: Eth Prudence Dusk or Peace/Smoke MP
WEAPON: Eth Oath Highland Blade or Small Crescent
SHIELD: Sanctuary Hyperion/Tower Shield
AMULET: Crescent Moon or Cat's Eye
RING 1: Raven
RING 2: Raven
HELM: Guillaume or Gaze
BELT: Immortal King
GLOVES: Immortal King
BOOTS: Immortal King
MERC: Eth Obedience Thresher + 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)

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

	Obedience grants 30% chance to cast level 21 Enchant when you kill an enemy (Sorc buff usable by any class). It gives 200% Attack Rating (AR) for over 10 minutes. It will have 100% uptime.
	Oath grants 30% chance to cast level 20 Bone Spirit on striking (Necro attack usable by any class). It will seek the nearest enemy and deal 380-413 magic damage.
	Oath grants 20 charges of level 16 Heart Of Wolverine (Druid minion usable by any class). It gives 125% physical damage and 130% Attack Rating (AR) within 40 yards radius and is the only way to increase your physical damage after getting all the Pala auras.
	Oath grants 14 charges of level 17 Iron Golem (Necro minion usable by any class). You can destroy runeword like Insight, Pride or Infinity to cast it and Golem will retain the aura! Golem will be destroyed if you leave the game, if you die or your Golem dies, in such case you will need to use another item to re-cast it.
	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%.
