Tip 1 Once you have obtained the Horadric Cube, you can keep it in your main Inventory. Although it takes up four squares, the Horadric Cub has 12 squares inside it, so you can actually gain eight storage spaces by keeping items inside the Horadric Cube! Be warned though, that items in the right combinant can be altered if you hit the Transmute button, so be careful when using this storage technique.

Tip 2  In multiplayer games, Town Portals are sometimes used in numbers, one or two screens apart, so that you can run and escape from difficult situations even if one of the Town Portals is surrounded by enemies.

Tip 3 The Horadric Cube can help provide you with a steady supply of Rejuvenation Potions.

Tip 4 If you're going to be using it for melee combat, assign a hot key to Bone Armor so you can recast it frequently. This skill effectively absorbs the enemy's attack damage, but it won't last long against the toughest monsters or large groups of foes.

Tip 5 Corpse Explosion is particularly effective in large multiplayer games, because the enemies become more powerful when there are more players in the game. Since Corpse Explosion does damage according to the hit points of the monster corpse it's used on, it becomes considerably more powerful in these situations.

Tip 6 Bone wall is best used as a temporary measure that will buy you time if you have a large group of enemies following you. For example, if you enter a room that's full of monsters and your health is low, you may want to back out and throw up several Bone Walls to slow the enemy down while you retreat.

Tip 7 Bone Spear is a great weapon to use in an underground passage or any area where you're fighting many enemies in a narrow corridor. When in such a situation, your Bone Spear will blow through the targeted enemy and continue on, damaging all enemies behind it.

Tip 8 It's ok to use Skeletons early in the game, but once you get into Act III, you Skeletons will begin to have a harder time defeating the enemies and you'll find yourself creating replacement Skeletons very frequently. In the testing department at Blizzard, the testers tend not to rely on Skeletons in higher levels, instead choosing to augment their Skeleton minions with a Golem.

Tip 9 A common tactic at Blizzard QA is to put skill points into Skeletons, Skeleton Mages, and Skeleton Mastery so that you can have several skeletons for melee combat and a pair of Skeleton Mages to stand back and fire from afar. This combination works very well, especially when enough points have been put into Skeleton Mastery, which improves the abilities of both the Skeleton Mages and the Skeletons.

Tip 10 If you find a great weapon early in the game that you can't use (or don't want to use), it may be worth putting into your Personal Stash so that you can use it later to create a powerful Iron Golem!

Tip 11 The Magic Arrow skill is best paired with Critical Strike. This is because the Magic Arrow never misses and Critical Strike will often double the damage of the hit. Use a high-powered Bow or Crossbow (which adds to the damage of the Magic Arrow) and you'll have a uber - weapon that can take you though the entire game! 

Tip 12 The Fire Arrow can be used as a kind of "advanced scout" when fired into the darkness of a dungeon. Each Fire Arrow is its own light source, lighting up the area around it as it flies through the air. In this way, it can be a great way to get a peek at what's coming before it emerges from the darkness.

Tip 13 Combine Multiple Shot with a high attack rating and a magical  bow/crossbow to maximize its effectiveness.

Tip 14 The Ice Arrow can be a very effective weapon when fighting enemies that can be respawned after they die. This is because an enemy that is turned to ice and then smashed cannot be resurrected from death, making your job of clearing out enemies considerably easier.

Tip 15 When firing an Exploding Arrow into a group of enemies, always aim at the enemy in the center of the group.

Tip 16 Although Freezing Arrow becomes very expensive (mana wise) as you put skill points into it, its attack  value and area of effect damage make it an absolutely invaluable tool later in the game when you meet up with multiple powerful and dangerous enemies. If you're going to follow the Bow and Crossbow skill tree, you should strive to put a few points into Freezing Arrow.
