To '''twink''' is to hand down a high quality [[item]] to a lower level [[character]], generally an item that this character would never have found for themselves at their [[experience|experience level]]. The term also refers to a character that has been '''twinked''' as being a '''twink''', and someone who is giving away items like this is '''twinking'''.

==Description==
Twinking is usually done by experienced players in order to help their new characters level up more quickly.

Twinking is also done between higher level characters; if your [[Wizard]] found a great sword you might "twink" it to your [[Barbarian]], but the term is not used as often for high level exchanges.

==Exceptions==
Some players, often referred to as [[purist]]s, do not twink at all, or at least not to certain characters. Players might want to keep their new character [[pure]], or they might be playing with some severity of [[Live off the Land|LotL]] rules, and are only using items they find themselves.

==Usage==
Twinking is sometimes considered a cheesy technique, but it becomes fairly ubiquitous amongst the low-level characters created by long time players of a game, and is a largely accepted fact of online play. Online buddies will often help twink, or [[Rushing|rush]] a friend's new low level character.

===Diablo II===
In ''[[Diablo 2]]'', it was useful to create and stock a twinking [[mule]]; one storage character with all sorts of low level gear. That made it easy to find the items you wanted to temporarily use on a new character, and it was quick to load them up with good starter gear, then reclaim it and exchange it for higher level goods as the new character leveled up.

===Diablo III===
Item in Diablo III require certain levels to equip, thus limiting twinking. Ways around this restrictions were added. [[Patch 2.1]] introduced the [[Gem of Ease]] that, when leveled to 25, removed the level requirement of the weapon it was socketed in. [[Patch 2.3]] introduced a recipe, through [[Kanai's Cube]] that removed the level requirement of any item, at the cost of consuming a level 25 Gem of ease. Both the [[Hellfire Ring]] and [[Hellfire Amulet]] roll without level requirement.
