Crafting is a powerful tool to utilize. Thanks for reminding me that crafting exists.

I thought of some more information that people probably know about:

Item durability does not lower on mercenaries. This means that you can give them ethereal items and they will never become destroyed. Ethereal items tend to have improved stats and lower stat requirements, making them staples for mercenary runewords.
Set items never roll ethereal.
Teleporting causes your mercenary to teleport to your new location, most of the time. I tend to use this a lot to avoid damage or keep my mercenary from trying to target Mephisto while doing the moat trick.
Holding shift while buying potions fills your belt slots with that potion, unless another potion type occupies that column. Holding shift while buying scrolls fills your tome completely.
This is mainly for single player and access to the /players command. In Hell Lower Kurast, there are chests in the huts by the campfires which can drop mid to high runes. Someone compiled a bunch of data and found that these are patterned, based off the amount of players in the game. The idea is to start a game, waypoint to Lower Kurast, teleport until you find the campfire(s), and open the chests there. Rinse and repeat. https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=77282905&f=87
