Key Takeaways:
- Legacy Graphics mode in Diablo 2 hides a hidden button that allows players to sell items directly from their character’s body, resulting in more in-game gold.
- Items with the grinding prefix attribute offer the highest profit when sold to vendors, particularly exceptional weapons like sancas or exceptional fanged knives.
- By selling and buying back these items repeatedly, players can exploit the vendor system to generate infinite gold.
- While some players have used macros to speed up the process, it is not recommended as it can lead to bans.
The Hidden Gold Loop in Diablo 2
In Diablo 2, players have discovered a hidden gold loop that allows them to profit from vendors anytime, regardless of whether the 22 Nights of Terror event is active or not. This exploit involves using Legacy Graphics mode and finding items with the grinding prefix attribute. By selling these items while the character is holding them and then buying them back, players can generate infinite gold.
How to Exploit the Vendor System
The key to exploiting the vendor system lies in Legacy Graphics mode. This mode reveals a hidden sell button that is not present in the regular graphics mode. Players need to find items with the grinding prefix attribute, particularly exceptional weapons like sancas or exceptional fanged knives. These items sell for more gold when sold directly from the character’s body.
To start the exploit, players should clear out space in the vendor’s inventory, ensuring that the item they want to sell is visible. They can then click the sell button while their character is holding the item, effectively selling it. After that, they can buy the item back and repeat the process as many times as they want.
While filling an entire stash tab manually takes 2 to 3 minutes, some players have used macros to speed up the process. However, using macros is against the game’s terms of service and can result in bans. It’s best to avoid using macros and enjoy the exploit within the game’s intended limits.
An Easter Egg and a New Chase
This hidden gold loop in Diablo 2 can be seen as an interesting Easter egg and a nod to the old-school Diablo players who enjoy discovering devious tactics. It offers a refreshing twist to the gameplay and provides a new chase for players. Additionally, it may encourage more players to visit vendors and explore the possibilities of finding valuable items.
