Ancestral Recall v1.10 Build for LOD v1.10 Final -> By TeknoKyo
-------------------------------------------------------------------

**Note: Didn't make any changes except ported to LOD v1.10 final.
Very bz with stocks and Ragnarok online now. Won't be workin on mod till my Ragnarok
char reaches at least 90.

Read thru the whole thing if you've never tried AR. Especially the installation.

Installation
------------

Make a new sub-folder called AR in your D2/LOD folder(Default is C:\Program Files\Diablo II)
- The AR folder should look something like this C:\Program Files\Diablo II\AR
- Unzip all the files to AR folder
- Run AR with AR.Bat

*** READ THRU THE WHOLE THING IF YOU NEVER PLAYED AR BEFORE ***

Please post at my forum at PhrozenKeep on which version you like/play ... I'll most
probably only update on the 1 that ppl mostly play. If there are not many ppl who plays
either AR mod ... I'll just stop public releases and help other mod-makers make mods that
ppl play ... :)

For Bug reports or anything that u wanna talk about ... put it in the forums

Forum: Planetdiablo.com <- go here and click forums link, there is a link to TeknoKyo Mod Forum under Specific Mods.

Pls use the forum instead of emailing me so that every1 can help each other and myself.

IMPORTANT MUST DO Instructions:
-------------------------------

-Make a backup of the file Patch_D2.mpq in your Diablo2 directory before copying this mod over it.
(Most probably located in C:\Program Files\Diablo II)
-Make a backup of your char files that you wanna use for this mod b4 playing.
(C:\Program Files\Diablo II\save)
-To install ... just unzip the Patch_D2.mpq into your Diablo II folder.
-Play the game in Hell for the best experience.
-Remember you can use your existing chars to play the this mod and try playing Hell.
-You can start a new char with this mod and then use that char on normal LOD too.
-Use ""players 2"" for normal AR(Natalya10x) play, Use ""players 3-8"" for Harder to extreme
play. I usually play on ""players 4""(20x) for Norm/NM and ""Players 2""(10x) on Hell

For new players:
----------------
-Crypts-Burial Grounds -Act 1 is as hard as Act4 and Act5 ... so most probably it's too hard
unless your char can at least kill diablo.
-Lvling and difficulty - intended completion levels Norm=40, NM=70, HELL = ??
-Make sure you kill Blood Raven in Norm for an early boost.
-In Blood Moor ... when starting new chars ... go for Nest Kills ... it'll give u a few good lvls mabbe up to lvl 10 for another early boost ... but it won't be that easy.
-Killing Corpsefire will give you good startup items ... this is how I play on Realms.
-Try starting new characters to take advantage of the new skills.
-Make sure you read thru all the changes on all AR versions from ARv1.00 to the latest
release to know what is changed on AR.
-Make sure you check the scrshots on my site to see the new things in AR
-Look thru the AR Info, Maps, Cube Recipes, Hirelings pages on my site for before
starting out.

*** Changes that might affect chars(You still can revert back) - Only for AR-SE ***
- Skills are changed and chars will not be the same when u use your existing chars, your chars will be a lot more powerful
- Reverting back to Original LOD will affect char skills.
- Added in Megainventory, cube, stash, increase, so reverting back to normal LOD might
result in Item loss ... the Megainventory is done by Fusman(IMHO 1 of the coolest D2
modders) and Phalzyr ... so if all Credits goes to them ... :)
