Don't rush it, remember it isn't normal diablo! If you wan't good gear, you won't buy it from shops. The steps for better equipment are: collect items with high +item quality%, adjust MP higher than 0($player 0-10 in console) make some diablo, laz runs on norm, good place is also lost tresure quest.

In Belzebub there is a monster power system "MP" you activate it through console-enter and then type $player from 0 to 10. The game becomes harder, more exp, better items but more hp and dmg. for monsters. If you get messed up by monsters in nightmare, but clear 13-TD effortlessly on normal, you can play norm on higher mp like mp-5, getting better prepared for other dif.

Yes i try this too, MP 10 on normal hell, i just get a lot of xp, the monsters damage and health are like in night, but the gold and item drop still doesn t change, i get same gold and items like MP 0 normal, why ?

@ Gamar:

Chests have much lower ilvl then unique bosses.

For example Zhar the mad on nightmare:
Player 0: 42 ilvl
Player 10: 45 ilvl

Chest on 8 level catacombs:
Regardless of player power: 23 ilvl

So chests in catacombs can only drop average normal unique/set items that are not usefull past normal while bosses and monsters can drop exceptional quality items.

@brightlord
what is ilvl?

ilvl means item lvl.

every item in the game has its "item lvl"

how i see it. high ilvl means item has better chance to get good mods high lvl mods ( mods = random stat on item) a monster lvl 1 will most likely dorp stuff for lvl1 with items ilvl1

i just dunno how ot explain -.-

from what i know there is no way ingame to know the ilvl of items. it is certain tho that the further u progress in game the higher monster drop higher ilvl items
