Starting a new legitimate character but with twinked endgame gear. File Type: .d2s mule character (usually named StashMaster ). What’s inside: A Level 1 Barbarian who is so overweight with gear he cannot move. He holds: Enigma (Light Plate), HOTO Flail, CTA (Call to Arms) in a +3 BO base, 10 Annihilus, 10 Hellfire Torches (one for each class), and every perfect unique jewel ( Rainbow Facet ). Why it’s “best”: You start a new offline character, enter a TCP/IP game with this mule, transfer the starter Enigma, and level from 1 to 80 in two hours.
