D2 trivia generation for "quiz"

[Crystalion]

Stacking Javs on another non starter stack should work
Any cube involving a buckler works.
reroll any starter item with 3 gems.  You can get very high amounts with wands and staves.

Yes, there are a lot of them, aren't there? I probably should have been more restrictive (e.g. "also given a cube and some gold can you make a profit from your character's starting equipment just staying in town and dealing with the shops?")

One of my favs is converting any diamond chip found into good cash by the Savage polearm recipe (along with a newbie staff or $151 cheapie, ye olde cracked sash, and the spendy part: a kris) because the base polearm is randomly selected up to Partizen (that is, the resale value is quite good when it chooses to give you an exceptional polearm). This recipe pretty much guarantees a new player in act 2 normal a good weapon for their merc (any diamond works, so you'll get lots of attempts the moment you hit act 2, as you can shop buy Kris' there)
