Karew: /* Armor Appearance: Diablo II: Resurrected */ New smaller JPG

This page displays every type of character armor found in Diablo II. There are subtle differences between every kind, even the various plate armors that look identical. They usually have some difference in the shoulder pad or sleeve.

=Armor Appearance=

Armors found in-game may vary by color, since certain affixes add palette shifts, but the basic graphics never change.

* Armor weight can confer a speed penalty:
** Light armor → No running speed/stamina penalty
** Medium armor → 5% speed and stamina penalty
** Heavy armor → 10% speed and stamina penalty

=Armor Appearance: Diablo II: Resurrected=

The appearance of the armor depends on its base type ([[Ancient Armor]], [[Dusk Shroud]], etc).

Certain armor affixes can also change the color of the armor, but not the overall shape.

Karew: Rewrite page, streamline, add level data, add notes about D2R's lack of restrictions

}}[[Image:Quest-cow-recipe.jpg|frame]]In order to open the portal to the Secret Cow Level, you must first finish the current difficulty. Expansion characters must have killed [[Baal]], while classic characters must have killed [[Diablo]].

While standing in the [[Rogue Encampment]] in [[Act 1]], combine a [[Wirt's Leg]] + [[Tome of Town Portal]] in the [[Horadric Cube]].

* '''[[Diablo 2]] / [[Lord of Destruction]]:''' If you have been previously present in the Secret Cow Level when the Cow King was slain, you will be unable to craft this recipe yourself in the current difficulty. Someone else must open the portal for you. This restriction does not apply in '''[[Diablo 2: Resurrected]]'''.
* [[Wirt's Leg]] can always be re-obtained from his body in [[Tristram]]. The Leg you use must have been obtained on the current difficulty, Legs from other difficulties will not work.
* The number of scrolls inside the Tome does not matter and it will not affect the "quality" of your portal or loot.

The area is a single outdoor zone, with no sub-levels or dungeons. It resembles [[Blood Moor]] but with wide-open spaces and the occasional wooden fencing. [[Hell Bovine]]s densely populate the whole zone. Somewhere inside is a wooden "fort" with higher walls, open corners, and the [[Cow King]].

[[Image:Quest-cow-portal.jpg|thumb|122px|right]]

==Cow King and Multiple Visits==

[[Image:Quest-cow-king.jpg|frame]]

The Secret Cow Level always contains a single super-unique monster, the [[Cow King]]. It can be hard to distingush the King in a crowd of other cows, but he is always [[Lightning Enchanted]].

In '''[[Diablo 2]]''' and '''[[Lord of Destruction]]''', a hidden quest tracks whether or not you have defeated the Cow King in the current difficulty. Whenever the Cow King dies, anyone currently inside the Secret Cow Level will receive credit for the quest, and '''be unable to open the portal to the level again in the current difficulty'''.

* Whether or not you are in a party does not matter, if you are inside the Secret Cow Level when the Cow King dies, you will receive credit.
* You can still re-visit the Secret Cow Level in the current difficulty, but someone else will need to open the portal for you. Many players earmark some of their characters to always be portal-openers, but never have them visit the level itself.
* These restrictions were fully removed in '''[[Diablo 2: Resurrected]]''', the Cow King can be killed as much as you like and it will not block anyone from creating the portal again.

Having the portal restriction placed on your character is almost always considered undesirable. Joining public Cow Level games is therefore extreemly risky, as other players may accidentally or intentionally kill the Cow King even if you avoid him.

The Cow King drops his own unique set items, the [[Cow King's Leathers]].

==Strategy==

The portal to the level does not always spawn in a safe location, so be ready to run whenever you first enter, in case you arrive in the middle of a swarm.

The [[Hell Bovine]]s all wield polearms and move slowly. They attempt to defeat players with their sheer numbers and can stunlock and kill you quite quickly if you get surrounded. Ranged characters will want to kite cows into tighter groups to better manage them.

The level is densely populated, so area-of-effect attacks or skills that hit multiple enemies at once work best. Bovines have no immunities and low resistances, so they can be farmed by most builds.

Because of the extreme number of enemies, [[Hell Bovine]]s are often farmed both with and without [[Magic Find]]. Characters that have low Magic Find will be able to find socketed items and white base items more easily from cows. The Cow Level is a level 81 zone in Hell, so it does not drop the best items (level 85+), but it does drop a high ''number'' of items, making cows also ideal for farming [[runes]].

==History==

[[Image:Quest-cows-early.jpg|thumb|300px|left|First look at Cows, April Fools, 1999.]]There were player-created rumors/jokes about a Secret Cow Level in [[Diablo I]], based on the cows in the pasture in [[Tristram]] that would moo, or cause your character to say something amusing, if you clicked the bovines long enough.

There is no secret level or anything related to the cows other than an Easter Egg style joke in [[Diablo Hellfire]], and Blizzard repeatedly denied its existence in both serious and humorous ways, such as the {{iw|StarCraft StarCraft}} cheat code "there is no cow level."

However, the [[Diablo]] II team apparently drew upon the rumor for inspiration, and worked the whole level into Diablo II. [[Blizzard North]] employees provided voice-acting for the cows.

The first hint of a secret cow level came on April 1, 1999, over a year before Diablo II was released, when [[:Image:Quest-cows-early.jpg|this screenshot]] was released. It was taken as simply an April Fools' Joke at the time, but the joke was clearly on us, as things turned out. The cow level in the final game does not take place in the Act One caves, nor are any of the cows brown.

==Trivia==

* There was no truth behind the rumors of a cow level in Diablo I.
* Prior to v1.02, single player characters could circumvent the restrictions on the portal recipie by uninstalling and re-installing the game.
* In v1.09 the Cow Level was among the most profitable areas in the game, and was the most popular since it was so easy to rack up huge experience quickly. It became less valuable in v1.10, when the experience given by the cows was cut and their item dropping lowered.
* Even though this level exists, the aforementioned jokes on the topic is still referred to by {{iw|Blizzard_Entertainment Blizzard}}, saying "there is no Cow Level".
* The item set named [[Cow King's Leathers]], can only be found in the Secret Cow Level.
* The cheat code to skip a level in StarCraft refers to the Diablo I rumor. In order to skip a level, the player has to write "There Is No Cow Level" (obviously, it does exist in Diablo II).
* In {{iw|WarCraft_III WarCraft III: Frozen Throne}} playing the chapter "Curse of the Blood Elves", there is a 'Secret Sheep Level' that can be accessed. It's basically Blizzard's version of a Tower Defense. In the course of unlocking, many sheep are involved, giving it's name, referencing the Secret Cow Level.
* {{iw|World_of_WarCraft World of WarCraft}} features an item called Cow King's Hide to reference the secret level.
* A free web enhancement to {{Iw|To_Hell_and_Back To Hell and Back}} and {{iw|Diablerie Diablerie}} called {{iw|Secret_Cow_Level_(DnD) the Secret Cow Level}} emulates the cow level in the RPG with statistics for the enemy cows.
* In The Six Sacred Stones, a novel by Matthew Reilly's, a pair of supporting character twins frequently sport shirts saying "I have seen the Cow level!" and subsequently "There is no cow level!"

Potions

2021-04-27T10:16:59Z

Karew: /* Other Drinkable Potions */

{{Item_navbox}}
=Introduction=

Potions are not essential for survival in Diablo II since most characters have hit point regeneration equipment and/or mana and life leech, but they are definitely needed in emergencies and against tougher monsters.

Drinking potions is easy due to how the belt works. Only four slots display, but you can have 8, 12, or 16 slots in a belt, with the other layers stacked up out of sight unless/until you hover your pointer over the belt. When you drink a potion any layers up above it will drop down, like a vending machine, keeping the bottom row full as long as possible. Picking up potions restocks the belt as well, stacking like potions up so you have columns or red, blue, or purple.

Besides the healing, mana, and rejuvenation potions, there are others for specialty uses such as thawing, poison cure, and refreshing stamina. There are even throwing potions that you most certainly wouldn't want to drink, even if you were allowed to do so.

=Potion Fill Rate=

All mana and healing and mana potions fill over time, taking around 5.12 seconds for all mana potions, and different values for healing potions. The amount of points you gain is averaged over the time, so if you drink a 200 point potion, you'll gain around 40 points per second for around 5 seconds.

If you drink two (or more) potions in a row, the total point fill is averaged over the total time, which adds up. Drinking a 50 and a 200 point potion at the same time will give you 250 points over 10 seconds, or around 25 per second. For this reason you do not want to drink greater with minor potions, since you'll fill up more slowly than you would with just the greater potion. This can be bad if you are in an emergency and out of rejuvenation potions.

The same addition and averaging works any time you have one potion filling and drink another one, though the second one is just added to however much you had left to go on the first one.

=Double Fill Potions=

Sometimes when you drink a red or blue potion you will get double the listed points from it, over the normal 5.12 seconds time. This is a game feature that's not well known, but quite beneficial. This is determined by the following process[http://d2mods.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=40504]:

# Pick a random integer, A, between 0 and your (Vitality/Energy - 1) (inclusive).
# Pick a random integer, B, between 0 and 99 (inclusive).
# If A is larger than B, congratulations! You gain double health/mana.

The chance to receive double healing is:

If Vit is odd:
% chance = (Vit - 1) ^ 2 / (Vit * 4)
If Vit is even:
% chance = (Vit - 2) / 4

This can be approximated to (Vit/4 = % double heal). To figure your odds for Mana Potions, just substitute your Energy for Vitality in the equation, they are exactly the same in other respects. Simplified, this is .25% chance per stat point, or 1% per 4 stat points, or 5% per 20 stat points.

This holds true up to 200 points in Energy or Vitality. Above 200 your % chance is affected by diminishing returns, to the tune of this formula:

% chance = 100 - (10100 / Vit)

Check the stats in the table below for a few sample values.

=Healing Potions=

Drinking a healing potion fills a certain number of points every time, depending on the potion type and which class your character is. These figures are the same for D2 or D2X.

=Mana Potions=

Mana regenerates and can be leeched back in D2 and D2X, so most warrior characters never add a point to their Energy, and get enough mana from leech and +mana items. Drinking a mana potion fills a certain number of points every time, depending on the potion type and which class your character is. The original five Diablo II characters have steady rates that are unchanged in the Expansion, while the Assassin and Druid have more irregular stats.

|}

<nowiki>*</nowiki> Neither type of Rejuvenation Potion is subject to the doubling that all mana and health potions can do, as described at the top of the page. You'll always get 35% and 100% regardless of your Clvl, stats, etc. Note that partial rejuves will do a lot more than even super healing/mana potions once your character has very high mana or hit points.

<nowiki>**</nowiki> The Antidote and Thawing Potion both increase their respective [[Resistance|resistance]] by 50% and add 10% to their respective maximum resistance for 30 seconds. The potion durations stack additively, so drinking two potions at the same time provides 60 seconds of increased resistance. Very useful against boss like [[Andariel]] or [[Uber Duriel]].

=Throwing Potions=

To throw a potion equip the stack in your weapon slot, select throw to the left or right click, and go for it. Barbarians can dual wield two stacks of potions, or a potion and a weapon in the other hand. In the Expansion you can use your weapon switch slot to hold a throwing potion and switch back and forth.

All characters throw potions at the same rate, have the same range (anywhere on the screen you can target with a direct line of sight) and all potions travel at the same rate of speed in the air. Potions are thrown in an arc, so it takes a potion several seconds to reach the target.

Exploding potions have a radius; any targets in the radius will take the full damage. Poison potions create a gas cloud that lasts for a varying amount of time; any targets that pass through the cloud while it lasts will turn green and take the full damage. Poison potion damage doesn't stack, if you hit a monster while it's still green, the damage over time is simply reset.

Exploding potions deal fire and physical damage. Monsters may resist or be immune to one or both of these. Total damage assumes no resistances.

* '''Item Level''': Monsters must be this level or greater to drop this item.
* All throwing potions stack up to '''10 in D2''' and '''25 in D2X'''. They are sold and dropped individually in D2. In the Expansion they can not be purchased, only found, and monsters drop them in stacks of 3.
* There are no Exceptional or Elite throwing potions, what you see here are the only ones in game. This of course makes them too weak to be of much use on the higher difficulty levels; their primary use is as crowd control on Normal.
* Throwing potions yield a fair bit of gold when sold. Though nigh-meaningless to veteran characters, low-level characters may appreciate this.

Besides the healing, mana, and rejuvenation potions, there are others for specialty uses such as thawing, poison cure, and refreshing stamina. There are even throwing potions that you most certainly wouldn't want to drink, even if you were allowed to do so.

=Potion Fill Rate=

All mana and healing and mana potions fill over time, taking around 5.12 seconds for all mana potions, and different values for healing potions. The amount of points you gain is averaged over the time, so if you drink a 200 point potion, you'll gain around 40 points per second for around 5 seconds.

If you drink two (or more) potions in a row, the total point fill is averaged over the total time, which adds up. Drinking a 50 and a 200 point potion at the same time will give you 250 points over 10 seconds, or around 25 per second. For this reason you do not want to drink greater with minor potions, since you'll fill up more slowly than you would with just the greater potion. This can be bad if you are in an emergency and out of rejuvenation potions.

The same addition and averaging works any time you have one potion filling and drink another one, though the second one is just added to however much you had left to go on the first one.

=Double Fill Potions=

Sometimes when you drink a red or blue potion you will get double the listed points from it, over the normal 5.12 seconds time. This is a game feature that's not well known, but quite beneficial. This is determined by the following process[http://d2mods.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=40504]:

# Pick a random integer, A, between 0 and your (Vitality/Energy - 1) (inclusive).
# Pick a random integer, B, between 0 and 99 (inclusive).
# If A is larger than B, congratulations! You gain double health/mana.

The chance to receive double healing is:

If Vit is odd:
% chance = (Vit - 1) ^ 2 / (Vit * 4)
If Vit is even:
% chance = (Vit - 2) / 4

This can be approximated to (Vit/4 = % double heal). To figure your odds for Mana Potions, just substitute your Energy for Vitality in the equation, they are exactly the same in other respects. Simplified, this is .25% chance per stat point, or 1% per 4 stat points, or 5% per 20 stat points.

This holds true up to 200 points in Energy or Vitality. Above 200 your % chance is affected by diminishing returns, to the tune of this formula:

% chance = 100 - (10100 / Vit)

Check the stats in the table below for a few sample values.

=Healing Potions=

Drinking a healing potion fills a certain number of points every time, depending on the potion type and which class your character is. These figures are the same for D2 or D2X.

=Mana Potions=

Mana regenerates and can be leeched back in D2 and D2X, so most warrior characters never add a point to their Energy, and get enough mana from leech and +mana items. Drinking a mana potion fills a certain number of points every time, depending on the potion type and which class your character is. The original five Diablo II characters have steady rates that are unchanged in the Expansion, while the Assassin and Druid have more irregular stats.

|}

<nowiki>*</nowiki> Neither type of Rejuvenation Potion is subject to the doubling that all mana and health potions can do, as described at the top of the page. You'll always get 35% and 100% regardless of your Clvl, stats, etc. Note that partial rejuves will do a lot more than even super healing/mana potions once your character has very high mana or hit points.

<nowiki>**</nowiki> The Antidote and Thawing potion both increase their respective [[Resistance|resistance]] by 50% and add 10% to their respective maximum resistance for 30 seconds. The potion durations stacks additively, so drinking two potions at the same time provides 60 seconds of increased resistance. Very useful against boss like [[Andariel]] or [[Uber Duriel]].

=Throwing Potions=

To throw a potion equip the stack in your weapon slot, select throw to the left or right click, and go for it. Barbarians can dual wield two stacks of potions, or a potion and a weapon in the other hand. In the Expansion you can use your weapon switch slot to hold a throwing potion and switch back and forth.

All characters throw potions at the same rate, have the same range (anywhere on the screen you can target with a direct line of sight) and all potions travel at the same rate of speed in the air. Potions are thrown in an arc, so it takes a potion several seconds to reach the target.

Exploding potions have a radius; any targets in the radius will take the full damage. Poison potions create a gas cloud that lasts for a varying amount of time; any targets that pass through the cloud while it lasts will turn green and take the full damage. Poison potion damage doesn't stack, if you hit a monster while it's still green, the damage over time is simply reset.

Exploding potions deal fire and physical damage. Monsters may resist or be immune to one or both of these. Total damage assumes no resistances.

* '''Item Level''': Monsters must be this level or greater to drop this item.
* All throwing potions stack up to '''10 in D2''' and '''25 in D2X'''. They are sold and dropped individually in D2. In the Expansion they can not be purchased, only found, and monsters drop them in stacks of 3.
* There are no Exceptional or Elite throwing potions, what you see here are the only ones in game. This of course makes them too weak to be of much use on the higher difficulty levels; their primary use is as crowd control on Normal.
* Throwing potions yield a fair bit of gold when sold. Though nigh-meaningless to veteran characters, low-level characters may appreciate this.
