Wirt the Peg-Legged Boy
Wirt is found to the far left of town, over a bridge and past the entrance to the Caves. It's a long, winding walk in Diablo, made much more bearable by the fast walk in Hellfire. Wirt sells items, but only one at a time, and he'll only show it to you after his infamous 50 gold fee. Wirt's graft engendered extreme hostility in most Diablo players, and his fate as a gold-popping corpse in Diablo II was a form of fan service.
Despite his maddening cover charge, Wirt is a very useful resource, since he can sell items that are otherwise unobtainable in the game. Wirt's items can go up to Ilvl 60, which means any prefix or suffix can occur on them, including the dozen or so that Griswold will never sell. Despite his ability to sell any modifier, Wirt can not sell every potential item, due to the way prefixes, suffixes, and item types interact, and the hard cap placed on Wirt's top prices. For instance, the legendary GPoW, Godly Plate of the Whale, can't actually exist. Godly and Whale not be found (no monster can only occur on higher level armors, and if both occur on one of the few armor types drop Qlvl modifiers that can spawn with them, the item would cost too much for Wirt to sell it (high) but it would cost more gold than a character could hold, in Diablo). You can find godly/whale items be purchased from Wirt, but they will only be . Only in lower quality item typesbase armor though, such as caps since on gothic plate or leather armorsfull plate mail the item would exceed the price cap.
