Is Wirt's Leg any use. You can's seem to trade it and I'm getting sick of
it sitting in my stash.

thanks

It allows you to gain access to the Secret Cow Level. But you can
drop it and pick up another when you're ready to do cow runs.

For the cow run you need to have beaten the game on the difficulty.
You then place the leg and a tome of town portal in the cube while in
the rogue encampment. When you hit the transform button a portal to
the secret level will appear.

Actually....If you get one with a socket...It can be quite a good weapon!

As you should have read in recent messages, after killing Baal, you
can use Wirt's Leg (and a Tome of Town Portal) to open a portal to the
Cow Level, where there are tough monsters, much experience and much
treasure to be had. Just don't kill the Cow King.

You can't open up the portal again. You can still enter it if someone
else opens it.

Well because killing the cow king is hard and he drops crap most of the time
like pindleskin only he's way harder to kill than pindleskin. To add to
that, you can no longer open the cow portal for that difficulty level with
that character. If you like to do the occasional solo cow run for the
goodies you won't be able to anymore. You will have to depend on a public
game and hope someone can open the portal. When I play my javazon its a
bitch because someome killed the cow king while I was in a game (a big no
no) and now I can't open it. Every now and then you get a game where
everyone is standing around waiting for someone to open the portal and no
one can. Everyone ends up leaving and joining another game.

Yes you can......Even now after the LoD expansion I have just picked up a
socketed Wirts Leg In Tristram to go kill the Cows in NM.....

Wirt's Leg can drop socketed. You can't RuneWord it, but if you have a
regular (white) Wirt's Leg, you can imbue it. I don't know why you'd do
this, though, except for comic relief.

Actually, you don't have to have finished the game to open the portal to the
Secret Cow Level, youcan do it as soon as you find the Horadric Cube. But
the level is that hard that it is a good idea to be around level 34+ before
you do.

a nice imbue though. +2 barb skills, +str, and a couple other nice mods.
too bad it was on a wirts leg and not somethin useful.

Try it yourself; you must kill Diablo (in Classic) or Baal (in
Expansion) in a difficulty level before you can create or enter a portal
in that difficulty level.

I don't see how... What would you put in it, at why would that be any good?

Considering how low a skill level you will be when you pick up your
first.....
Stick in a Gem or a Jewel.....(Or possibly a rune)
Mark Morrison said he picked up a 3 socket version (I've only ever seen a
single socketed one)
But sticking anything in it at that point would be good....

I did. Lvl 20 Amazon, just picked up the Cube and opened the portal. But got
absolutely flogged after about 2 secs.

You could make the ultimate, useless quest item: An imbued, socketed, named
Wirt's leg.

Then offer it on e-bay.

my dad has a noobie closet character on his computer. it has a couple
charms,
armor, chipped gems, some gold, and a three socketed wirts leg. if
anybody at
my house starts a new character, they can start a new game (TCP/IP) and
get
some stuff that's usually good enough to last through act 1
