Please note that this mod is The first ie. version 1.00.

This Patch is for Diablo II:Lord of Destruction v.1.09

				Installation:

Just copy the Patch_d2.mpq file into your default Diablo II Directory.

***NOTE*** It is highly recommended that you first back your original
Patch_D2.mpq file up. If something goes wrong, and you have not backed it up, you will have to re-install Diablo II & Diablo II:LOD

				CHANGES:

* Cost of gambling for rings has been reduced to 20000. (You usually only get a ring that you can sell for +-2000 anyway!)
* Cost of gambling for amulets has been reduced to 30000.(You usually only get an amulet that you can sell for +-3000 anyway!)
* More unique monsters are in the wilderness.
* Better/more items/gold is dropped.
* Mana Potions are now available for purchase.
* You can now stack up to 24 keys and 40 Town Portal/Identify   Scrolls.
* There is a new Horadric Cube recipe - 3 magic Jewels + 1 magic ring = 
chance of getting Stone of Jordan ring or andother ring with similar.
attributes.
* Characters can now get to level 200, instead of just 99 - levels are therefore gained quicker, to compensate for the increased difficulty of monsters.
* All bosses drop better items.
* The counsil now drop better items.
* The Cow King drops better items.
* Monsters are more difficult (not much), and you will come accross unique monsters more often.
* the maximum that you can sell items for has been increased from 30000 to 50000 in some places, 75000 in some, 100000 in some, 125000, and 150000 in others (on easy). I'll leave it to you to discover where!!!)****NOTE**** on Nightmare and Hell difficulty levels, this is increased. - these values were taken from the KD2GE mod)
* The reason for some of these increases is a surprise @ the end of the game.... ;->
* All monsters now hav double MAX HP - so you get more of a variation in monster difficulty. Bosses MAX HP has generally only been increased by 1000 points.
