Cows - Bovines that are found in The Secret Cow Level which can only be accessed after defeating Diablo in Act 4 of the difficulty you're in. For Example, say you've defeated Diablo in Normal but not in Nightmare, you can make cows in Normal but not Nightmare. Once you can make cows, you must get Wirt's Leg from Tristram, buy a tome from Akara in the Rogue Encampment, and transmute them in the Horadric Cube. This opens the red portal to the Cows.
Duel - See Hostiling
Hostiling - Can only be done in town. When you hostile somone, you are then able to kill them and they are able to kill you in turn. This is what is called a duel. You do not lose experience when dueling. A word of advice, do NOT buy a new weapon after being killed without getting your body first. Should you die again, your body pops meaning everything in your inventory is on the ground and able to be stolen by your enemies.
Leech - Has a double meaning. The most common term is when a low level character sits in a Hell difficulty cow game after being rushed. By sitting and doing nothing, you gain experience points and level up your character. You are considered a leecher. Leech also allows you to suck Life and Mana from your opponent with every hit you make on them. This is a vital key to survival during Hell difficulty and mostly during Duels.
Naked Kill - Also know as "nk". Occurs during a duel in which your hostiled enemy kills you and you have not picked up your body yet. This is considered the ultimate form of disrespect.
Perfect Skulls - Also known as Pskulls. A very valuable trade item that can be used in socketed items. Once socketed, it allows for 3% mana leech and 4% life leech if put into your weapons. You can only get a Perfect Skull by having nothing but a Flawless Skull in your inventory when touching a gem shrine, or by transmuting 3 flawless skulls in your Horadric Cube. Can be used to open a socket in items (see socket).
Rush - A way of getting your character through each difficulty fast, bypassing most of the game. This is for the sole reason of getting into cow games and leveling your character.
Socket - Indicated by a circle in your gear. Sockets allow for gems to be put into your items, giving you powers-ups including more strength, leech, or even elemental damage. Not all items have sockets, but you can make a socket in your rare items with 3 Pskulls and an SoJ.
Stone of Jordan Ring - Also known as "SoJ". This ring's main feature gives +1 to all skills no matter what character you are when put on as part of your gear. It is also a very valuable trade item.
Town Portal - Also know as "tp". A portal that you can use anywhere in the game, it will automatically take you back to the camp so you can get new gear, items, and heal up. Anyone in your party can go through your TP and it the key to Rushing.
Virgin - A Character who has NOT killed The King in the Cow Level. If you are a virgin and you kill king, you can not make cows again on that character for that difficulty and anyone in your party that is a virgin can no longer make cows. So if you're going to Virgin Kill (V Kill), leave the party first!
