In order to retire a character, they must be level 30 or greater. The retired character becomes unusable at the point of retirement, so players should be sure to clear inventories and banks. For example, if you pass down an item named "Bane Sword" with 20 strength for a character named "Troll," the passed down item will be "Troll's Bane Sword" with additional strength. This item takes the name of the retired character and receives statistic bonuses. When a character is retired, they can pass down one item to a new character.

Torchlight game for xbox 360 Pc#
It’s possible that the Xbox 360 will receive a highly stripped or modified version in the future, but regardless console owners will not be able to enjoy the same game that Mac and PC users will be able to. On the bright side, Runic hasn’t outright ruled out bringing Torchlight 2 to the Xbox 360 in one format or another. Considering that the first Torchlight stole more than a few hours from our lives, the second would have offered us the potential to lose ourselves in a dungeon crawl, this time around with friends. This comes asa bit of a downer for fans of Xbox Live Arcade’s original Torchlight port, who were hoping to see the franchise make a solid return with multiplayer and other features. This isn’t too hopeful, considering the first game barely even made it to the Xbox 360 due to its immense size and structure. Max Schaefer, CEO of Runic, cied that because of the plethora of additional content and features being added into the sequel that the game will simply be too large to port to the Xbox 360 unless they make some major changes to its design and format. The game in its current state, according to sources, will not be able to be ported to the Xbox 360 due to the console’s memory limits. Torchlight 2, the highly anticipated dungeon crawler being developed by Runic Games, will be coming to PC but might not make it to Xbox 360.
