Contrary to popular belief, there is something that can be used as a cheat in Diablo. This will let you duplicate any item in both the full version and the shareware version of Diablo. To make this work, keep the inventory screen closed. Drop an item that you want duplicated (gold, potion, scroll, book, etc.). Walk away from it a little bit. Now go to pick up that item . Just as the you pick it up, click on one of the items in your belt that you can afford to lose. The description when you pick it up should be the same as the item you picked up off of the ground. This cheat is a little hard to do, so keep trying. It does work.
NOTE: If you have a newer version of Diablo, be very careful with this. The first time you drop your new duped item, the game will notice it and destroy it. So make sure not to drop it.
BIG Thanks to "The Silencer" for his help on the above section. Thanks!!
Another cheat that I have heard of but have not been able to get working is that you can make deals with Wirt. When you find an item he has that you want, get out your calculator and take 33% off of the price. Then come back to him with exactly that amount of gold in your inventory (plus the 50 to take a look at it). He should now let you have the item for the discounted price. If anyone can figure this one out, mail me.
