Just before you go to the witch save the game and see what she's got if she don't go any thing you want load the game and she will have some different.

I found out that you can actually get wirt to offer new stuff without buying any unwanted stuff here's what you should do.

Walk up to wirt but not interacting with him, save the game then talk to wirt and buy whatever he offered  I you want the stuff he offer, then save the game, if not don't save the game after you bought the stuff, then reload the stuff that you've bought earlier will not be there in your backpack of course since you save the  game before you buy the stuff but wirt will offer you a new stuff to buy! In just 20 minutes, I managed to get 2 rings of zodiac from wirt!

People have noted that Celia drops different amulets when you reload your game and perform different actions. The same is true of Gharbad the Weak. Save before you talk to him and load your game if you get something you don't want. Then, do something before going to him, like cast a spell or kill an enemy. He should drop a different item. I've gotten the "Wicked Axe", "Fools Crest", and "Wizardspike" as well as all sorts of other unique and valuable items.

Here's a little trick: If you need elixirs, and you have enough money, just go to the witch or the healer, buy and drink (not absolutely needed) all of them. Then save your game, and load it again, after saving it, of course. This will give the healer or witch new elixirs to sell, and you can repeat this little trick unlit you have used all your money or don't need any new elixirs. This trick also works in normal Diablo. This little save-and-load trick also works with books and most of the other stuff they sell.

Just an observation I made about the apocolypse spell. In the original Diablo, the spell would effect enemies even if they were not in your line of sight (ie: other side of wall). In Hellfire, apoc will only effect enemies that you see on the screen.

Now we can't kill all of Diablo's room without saying hello - oh well.

Regarding the Bovine Plate irregularities, here's my theory. I don't know how could the coding result in this, but if you lay your hands on a new suit after the patch, you get the -50 mana, and the suit that your character still wears while the patch is applied will get +0 to mana. Pedro did mention something about -2 to spell levels when the official patch is out, that would really suck for everyone 'cept maybe the Barbarian. I like the armor. In fact, the original one was great if they hadn't made it so radiant(+50% light). Maybe we can egg Sierra to change it again. Stick to the original features, and no light increase. I could put up with a -10% to light too.:)

In response to Flux's method of getting awesome equipment, I tried it out and it works big time. I did however get offered items of greater value than 140k, here is a pic of a plate @ 155k - Pic 1. Flux [among many others] also inquired about whether Wirt offers Godly full plates. I was offered a nice plate - Pic 2. Hellfire's Wirt is not as greedy as he used to be, a godly full plate was just a bit over 100k, not much more expensive as an awesome full plate.
