How to be rich in Diablo 2, ultimate guide to find out ALL you need to pick up to get runes fast in D2 Resurrected
Preamble and operation of the guide
This guide will tell you all the items you need to pick up that have potential market value, as well as what you need to get by identifying it. This is an advanced guide, for fairly experienced players. So I advise you to look first other D2R guides which explains the interesting equipment.
Remember to always have an identification parchment book, which will quickly become your best friend! You can also adjust this guide, for example if you don't feel like picking up the blue items, or add the items you need, like the Immortal King set for example.
Normal White and Gray Items
A few details before showing you the interesting objects:
- a gray is either ethereal, or with holes, or both. If it has holes, you can't change them
- an upper or lower object can only receive holes with Lazruk's quest, not possible with the cube formula
- for example an Archon's Plate 3 sox x% Ed must be dropped in the State
- the higher affix can give several things, the only really interesting ones are the % damage on the weapon and % defense on the armor
Here are the white and gray items you can find. I advise you to almost always pick up the gray objects!
- Necromancer wands: search +x bone spirit or poison nova, runic word White
- Paladin shields: seek 40 and + to all resistances, runic word Spirit
- Ethereal Paladin Shields: Seek 40+ to all resistances or damage, Exile runic word
- Monarch, battle axe: at the beginning of the season then it is no longer worth much, runic word Spirit or Insight
- Assassin's Claws: +x skills Sentinel Lightning, Runic Word Fury, Chaos
- Ethereal elite weapon axes, with 4 or 5 holes for Insight, Pride, Inifinity etc
- Elite armor, ethereal or not, 3 or 4 holes for Enigma, CoH or Fortitude
- Berzerk Axes or Phase Blades 5 holes or 6 ethereal holes for Grief, Beast, Pride, etc or Botd
- Elite bows, especially with +3 bow and crossbows, for Harmony, Faith or Ice
Pay special attention to the "Superior" bonus, and don't pick up "Damaged" or "low quality" bonuses, and always check if you have Enhanced Damage or Defense (ED), to multiply the price of the item. object by 5.

Green Set Items
Much simpler section, and unless you are looking for a set particular :
- all the amulets, to try to have Tal Rasha or even Disciple
- the varnished plates, it is the armor of Tal Rasha
Examples of green set items not to pick up
Unique Objects
Unique items will require the most experience. 99% of unique items have no value, so you will quickly need to know the unique items that are worth something. Then you'll see that there's no longer even a need to pick up the majority of unique items you find, so you'll need to pick up:
- all amulets and rings, to try Highlord, Mara, SoJ, BK
- all unique items with value, look at the base of the item, a unique yawn will be zero, on the other hand a unique mystery ax will be fine. At first identify everything, then when you are used to identifying null objects you identify less and less! You can also discard any items that are not in this expensive unique and green item guide
Examples of unique items not to pick up
Complement, Runes
This section is also quite simple:
- Hel always handy
- Lum, Ko, Fal, Lem: the low runes that are starting to be worth something
- Pul, Um, Mal, Ist: intermediate runes
- Gul, Vex, Ohm, Lo, Sur, Ber, Jah, Cham, Zod: the HR (High Rune), be careful the Ber for example are much better rated
And here is their market value, be careful it depends on the state of the season, but it's to give you an idea:
- Hel, Lum, Ko, Fal x2 = Lem
- Lem x 2 = Pul
- Pul x 2 = Um
- Pul + Um = Evil
- Evil + Um = Ist
- Gul: 1,5 St
- Vex: 3 Sts
- Ohms: 6 Ists
- Lo: 12 Sts
- On: 11 Ists
- Ber: 22 Sts
- Dah: 18 Sts
- Cham: 3 Sts
- Zod: 4 Ists
Complement, Orange Craft Items
If you are looking for craft items, you have the list here, all craft items guide. What you need to know in summary:
- you need the same stats as a rare and better, thanks to the crafting suffix
- an amulet +2 20 fcr, the yellow max was +2 10
- 20% ias CB gloves, CB not possible in non-craft
- etc
With this guide you will know all the interesting objects to pick up, as well as the result you must have by identifying them. This will make it much easier to know which objects to recover during your Diablo 2 Resurrected Farm runs! You will be much more efficient and faster, but you will avoid missing a big drop!
