Introduction

Welcome to the Diablo II Character Editor.

This editor has been tested with Diablo II Resurrected v1.2.68992 (PTR 2.4) as well as with Diablo II Classic
v1.14b and the Lord of Destruction expansion set. Although, it has thoroughly been tested for any bugs, there
may still be a few remaining.

This help file will highlight some of the various stats you can edit with the editor. You can edit the following
character stats:
• Class • Quests
• Dexterity • Skills
• Energy • Status
• Experience • Strength
• Gold • Title
• Level • Upgrade Gems, Potions or
• Maximum Life Skulls
• Maximum Mana • Waypoints
• Maximum Stamina • Upgrade Durability and
• Name Quantity of items.

When you highlight a control or stat, a hint will appear in the status bar and as a tooltip to display what the
controls do or whether a character stat has any imposed limits.

How To Use
When you first run the editor, you will see the following screen:

Opening a character file

To edit a character, click on File, Open or press CTRL-O. A dialog box will appear and display any character
files (with extension .d2s) in the current directory. If your character files are not in the current directory, change
to the directory where your character files are stored, usually located in the “save” directory where you installed
Diablo II.

Once you have opened a character file, you will see the following screen (see the image below). Note: your

character’s stats will be displayed, not the one shown.

Editing the character’s stats

When you edit some of the items in the editor the edit boxes will change the font to bold to reflect that a change
has taken place and an asterisk (*) will appear in the title bar next to the name
 Editing character skills
When you want to edit your character’s skills, press the “Skill Trees” button to bring up the skills list. You can
perform a batch operation to set all your character’s skills to a specific value.

Editing waypoints

To edit waypoints, click on the “Waypoints” button to bring up the waypoints lists. Clicking on the Activate All
Waypoints button will activate all waypoints for the currently selected difficulty level. When done, just click on
the Ok button and save. Note: Act 5 waypoints are only available to expansion set characters.

Editing quests
To edit quests statuses, click on the “Quests” button to bring up the Quest form. Here you can change the status
of a quest to Not Started, Started/In Progress, or Completed. You can complete all quests for the current
difficulty level by clicking on the “Complete All Quests” button. Note: Act 5 quests are only available to
expansion set characters.

Saving an edited character

When you have finished editing and are ready to save, click File, Save or press CTRL-S to save the file. A
message will appear in the status bar and a popup to let you know that the file has been saved.
Closing a character
To close the currently opened character, click on File, Close or press CTRL-C. If you have made changes to your
character’s stats, a dialog box will open to confirm whether you want to save the changes before you close the
file.

This dialog box will also appear if you try to exit the program and have not currently saved your changes or
selected the Undo option.

Undoing changes
To undo any changes made to the character, click on View, Reload or press F5. Using the Reload function
undoes all changes made to your character since the last save.

Backing up a character
To create (or not to create) a backup of your character, click on Options, Backup Character Before Save(the
default for this option is set to enabled). A checkmark will appear beside the “Backup Character” item to let you
know that a backup of any character file you open will be created before the character is saved. The backup file
(same name as your character file except with the extension .bak) will be saved in the same directory as your
character file and overwrite any existing backup file.

Restoring a character from a previous backup

To use this option, open a character and then click on Option, Restore character. This option is only available if
you made a backup of your character (i.e. there is a character file with the extension “.bak”).

Checking your character for discrepancies

This option is best used for those who are adventurous enough to edit the character themselves using a hex editor.
If you edited your character using a hex editor and for some reason it isn’t working in Diablo II, you can use this
option to check your character to make sure that it isn’t violating some of the game’s limits.

Viewing level information

Selecting this option displays a table showing various information for each level regarding minimum experience
required and the maximum gold limits for a character’s belt and stash. The version logic used for the limits is
dictated by the loaded Character File. If one is not loaded then it is assumed Diablo II: Resurrected is being
referenced.

Upgrading Gems, Potions, Skulls and Items.

The Upgrade sub menu under Options has the option to upgrade all gems and skulls that your character currently
has in his/her inventory to their perfect state. Example: if your character has a chipped topaz and a regular
diamond, they will be upgraded to a perfect topaz and a perfect diamond when this menu item is selected. The
Upgrade submenu also allows to upgrade all potions to their highest quality or all potions to Full Rejuvenation
Potions.
The Upgrade submenu also allows upgrading all weapons and armor to have the highest durability (255) as well
as have all stackable items fully stocked (i.e 12 keys).

Converting/Creating Gems, Potions, and Skulls

The Gems, Potions & Skulls Converter can convert the selected item to another. For example: you can convert
chipped sapphires to full rejuvenation potions and vice versa. When converting potions to gems or skulls, only
potions that are not located in your belt are converted. When converting gems/skulls to potions, only gems/skulls
that are not socketed in items are converted. You can find the GPS Converter in the Options menu and is only
enabled if your character has any gems, potions, or skulls. In addition, the Gems, Potions & Skull Creator can add
items to the empty slots of your inventory.

Hiring, resurrecting or changing Mercernary

When displaying the Mercenary Dialog, you are able to hire resurrect a Mercenary by unchecking the “Dead”
checkbox or if one is not already hired, hire a new Mercenary by checking the “Hired” checkbox. If the
Mercenary is not equipped with items, you are able to “fire” a Mercenary by unchecking the checkbox or change
the Mercenary type via the Type combobox. You may also edit the level or experience for your Mercenary but
the Mercenary can not be given a level higher than your character’s level. All other stats shown in this Dialog are
read only and derived from the Mercenary information and the equipped items.

Viewing All Items

When displaying the Items Dialog, you are able view and have a few options to edit items that your character is
carrying or has equipped. You are able to fix and item, fully load a stackable item, or convert Gems, Skulls,
Potions or Runes to another kind of Gem, Skull, Potion or Rune.

Description
Below is a brief description of a few of the stats that some users may not understand.

Character Title
There are four character titles to choose from:
None Your character has no title if you have not finished the game at least once. This option is
available for both regular (non-expansion set) and expansion set characters.

The following titles are displayed only for non-expansion set characters:
Sir/Dame This title is awarded once you have finished the game once. You can now play the game
again and when you select your character you will be able to play up to Nightmare
difficulty.
Lord/Lady This title is awarded once you have finished the game at Nightmare difficulty. You will
then be able to play the game in Hell difficulty.
Baron/Baroness If you have finished the game on Hell difficulty, you will be awarded this title.

The following titles are displayed only for expansion set characters:
Slayer Your character is given this title when Baal has been defeated at Normal difficulty.

Champion Your character is given this title when Baal has been defeated at Nightmare difficulty.

Patriarch/Matriarch Your character is given this title when Baal has been defeated at Hell difficulty.

The following titles are displayed for regular non-expansion set characters:
Count/Countess This title is bestowed when Diablo has been defeated at Normal difficulty.
Duke/Duchess This title is bestowed when Diablo has been defeated at Nightmare difficulty.
King/Queen This title is bestowed when Diablo has been defeated at Hell difficulty.

The following titles are displayed for hardcore expansion set characters:
Guardian This title is bestowed when Baal has been defeated at Normal difficulty.
Destroyer This title is bestowed when Baal has been defeated at Nightmare difficulty.
Conqueror This title is bestowed when Baal has been defeated at Hell difficulty.

Difficulty
This field displays the last difficulty level your character was playing at.

Starting Act
This option allows you to change which act start off in. This option does not complete any quests or activate
any waypoints. This is useful if you want you want to see what the later acts and levels are like even though
you have not completed previous acts.
Note: You will not be able to complete any later quests or finish later acts if you have not completed the previous
act. Example: If you are on Act 1 and you decide to skip to Act 4, the game will not allow you to complete any
quests, though you can still do them, but you will not be able to finish the game.
