Up to this point I have only used my artillery mage so I am eager to try the other characters.

Ok I cleared Diablo with my warrior ...
I was really surprised when I got these items in 2 runs through the game.
You cleared the game twice, with a character you'd not played before, in 14 hours?

Only Wirt can supply that, and you've gotta be 30 to buy it. You hit clvl 30 in two games? In SP or MP?
It couldn't be two normal games; that's impossible. Most SP characters finish their run at clvl 25, 4,166,200 exp. Even if you could double that exp in a second game, you'd still only be clvl 27 (9.2 mill exp is 28).
If you did a Normal and a Nightmare game, that's another story. In SP, you can level with wild abandon. In MP, you've got an exp cap to deal with. Supposing you enter Nightmare at clvl 25, you need (if my calculations are correct) 2573 kills at the exp cap to hit 30. I don't recall how many monsters can appear on a given dlvl, but 180 stands out in my mind. (Nits?) 180/dlvl and 16 dlvls equals 2880 monsters, but most of Church won't give you much exp at all, much less anything close to the exp cap. (You won't meet that until mid/late Cats.) Knock Church out of the picture and you've got a possible 2160 kills remaining in the game, but you can't hit 30 on that. (Nits?)
Either I read wrong, my logic's on the fritz, or something's fishy. What's the deal?
