Save Your Experience Gear
Experience gear can cut your play time by as much as 20%. But you need to keep upgrading your gear or else the bonus experience won't be enough for your current level. Having a bunch of sets of experience gear every few levels will help. Just so you know, you don't really need full sets, just a few pieces to make a difference on your next character. Also, if you are running out of space and don't want to upgrade your shared stash, the best way to keep them is to create a few extra characters and pass the gear to them using the shared stash.
This will also save you money, but eventually, you should upgrade your shared stash to avoid wasting time moving items between characters.
Farming Experience, Gold and Items
Select the Act I quest "The Legacy Of Cain: Explore Cellar" segment. Take the waypoint to The Old Ruins and go north, then east. Go down the cellar to encounter a named mob (Captain Daltyn) and his minions. Kill him for at least one magic item and some coins. Loot the cauldron for at least one health potion. Talk to Leah for quest completion experience and gold. A loot chest also appears 40% of the time. Exit and repeat. The good thing about this method is that the pathway never changes. However, you will keep hearing a Tristram Militia whining about how he promised to save Marko and he did not.
Easy Life Potions
When you enter an area that gives you a life potion or chest, make sure to collect them. Then, leave the game and resume it. The place where you clicked on to get the previous potion will give you another potion every time. Note: There may not be always a chest; if this happens, leave the game and resume it. Most of the time another chest will appear, and the treasure will vary from an item to gold, or both.
