- Some problems with Cold / Fire immune in Hell Act I already...
- Another guide suggested by players on PoD Discord, better than MeteOrb
- Several builds, hints and tips. Worth reading.

Mercenary guides
- Merc gets the most XP if they kill the monster themselves. To keep in mind if merc is lagging behind.
- Equip: Life Steal, to keep him alive in fight (for melee merc only).
- Equip: Increased Attack Speed. Allow merc to leech even more.
- Equip: Crushing blow, a good boss killer.
- Equip: Slow target item, nearly as good as damage reduction items.
- Equip: Mana leech *useless*.
- Merc MF stacks with player MF, but only if merc does the kill. Important when dealing with boss.
- Use Full Rejuvenation (rather than Healing), heals faster. Use cube recipes to make such potions.
- Thaw / Anti potion time stacks up. Feed your merc before a killing session.

- 3 magic amulets = 1 random magic ring.
- 3 small rejuvenation = 1 full rejuvenation.
- 3 gems of same type = 1 better gem of same type

Recipes to use someday:
- 3 gems of same type = 1 better gem of same type
- 3 perfect skulls + 1 Rare item + Stone of jordan = add 1 socket to rare item.
- 1 Perfect Skull + 1 Rare Item + Stone of Jordan = 1 High Quality New Rare Item of the same type.
- 3 Perfect Gems (of any type) + 1 Magic Item = 1 New Random Magic Item of the Same Type
- This produces an item with same ilvl. Very interesting to produce +2 skill amulets [1].
