Belts
From Diablo Wiki
Worn around the waist, belts not only serve to increase a character's Defense Rating, they also allow a character to hold more potions and scrolls.
Belts play an important role in your character's survival. Designed to provide quick access to items, most belts contain multiple slots, loops, and cords from which to suspend potions and other vital items. The larger a belt then the more potions and scrolls it can store. Wearing a sash or larger belt expands the initial four-slot capacity of your character's belt by adding one or more extra rows of four slots. While only four slots are normally displayed on the Interface Bar, you can access the additional slots by highlighting any of the visible belt slots or by pressing the tilde ("~") key to toggle the belt open and closed.
- You can drink a potion from your belt by right-clicking on the potion. Also, each occupied belt slot has a number, from 1-4. Pressing one of these hot keys is a fast way to drink a potion without having to click on it.
- Larger belts have other advantages. When you drink a potion or read a scroll, the item above it drops down to replace the consumed item. If you have a potion or scroll in a hot key slot and you pick up another of the same type, the new item automatically stacks above the first one. This continues until the column is full. If there is no more room on the belt, the item is placed in your backpack.
- Health, Mana, and Rejuvenation potions are automatically placed in the belt when picked up. You can also place scrolls of Identify and Town Portal, as well as the other drinkable potions, in your belt. However, items like scrolls are not automatically placed in your belt unless there is a matching item in one of your four hot key slots and there is an empty slot above the one with the matching item.
- Holding down SHIFT and RIGHT-Clicking, when buying Health Potions, auto-fills any empty slots in the belt. This also applies to buying scrolls of Town Portal and Identify.
- Holding down SHIFT and LEFT-Clicking on Health, Mana and Rejuvenation potions in inventory, will auto-move them to the appropriate column in your belt.
- Holding down SHIFT and a Hot Key (1-4) or Right-Clicking on Health, Mana and Rejuvenation potions in the Belt, will give the Potion to the player's Hireling if the player has one.
