I just made a ClassicLadder character in Europe. Mainly so that I can use
it later to rush mules through to HellForge.

I have a few questions:

1) Does anyone else have a character there? (It seems quite empty)

2) When is the earliest you can convert a classic mule to Xpac and still be
in Hell?

3) I seem to remember that when you convert to Xpac in hell... it looses 2
acts, meaning the earliest place to convert and still be in hell would be
Classic Hell-Act3... after conversion would take you to Xpac Hell-Act1
(takes 2 acts off - to replace act5s). Is this true? ...or was it just
some random rubbish I heard once?

4) I also heard that static doesnt have any 3/4 & 1/2 limits in NM & Hell in
classic... so maxing static and orb is the prefered model for a rusher...
also true?

5) Any other info someone wants to share about classic rushing for
Hellforges? Also, any websites deal with this topic?

Nope. Tried playing a bit of Classic Ladder 2 Ladders ago, but never got
much further than Act 4 NM with an FO/FB sorc. Did convert a mule full of
pgems over though; you find a lot more gems in Classic than in LOD, due to
the much more sparse drop-classes.

If it's d2jsp fg you want to score, people play ridiculous amounts for
uniques you'd not even pick up in LOD (for instance Spectral Shard, Wall
of the Eyeless, or Silks of the Victor. Even more is paid for Exceptional
rares with the right mods. Never did got the hang of it though.

Yes, the info you worded in #3) is also what I read somewhere. Which is
too bad because it's actually Act 2 Hell that's quite a bitch to play
through.

Well, since you don't get too much +skills in Classic, you cannot rely on
+skill to raise the range of Static. And yes, Static is supposed to take
monsters to 1HP in NM and Hell (At least, I can personanlly confirm it
takes them down to a sliver in NM once my char was strong enough to stand
next to an Act 1 NM critter and Static away).

I thought a Hammerdin also worked quite nicely (but of course you won't be
able to teleport with one). If you have some help for those first bodies,
Summoning Necromancers are also very powerful, but since skellies crumble
when switching acts, you need someway of creating those first few corpses.

I got quite a lot of my info the the official B.Net Europe Ladder forums
when I was playing Classic, but those messages are long gone and not
archived, and that forum is currently as dead as a doornail...

There were (are?) apparently also ways to get to Act 5 in Classic, which
was apparently be a very potent place to level up. Never experienced that
though. Beyond that, I found it somewhat refreshing to play when I was
previously 'through' with D2LOD. The plan was to rush mules through, but
that proved to be easier to do with regular rushing in D2LOD.

I'm not sure if and when I'll venture into Classic again.

Regards, Patrick.

Hello Trammel. Sorry I cannot help but just asking here. Did you get
any confirmations on questions trough 2-5? I am planning on creating a
classic char for rushing. Any information would be helpful.
