Offline Characters - Trade options?

Hi Guys! I am guessing not the 1st one to post this question, just curious. I played D2 when it 1st came out 20 years ago and was exited when Resurrected was released, such a feeling of nostalgia to play again! I thought to myself “I dont really do group play, might as well just create offline characters.” Now that I have pumped most of them up and need good gear to survive Hell, I need to trade if possible but it looks like thats only available to online toons. Do I have any options / alternatives beyond farming with best possible magic find?

That is a big negative, I’m afraid. Single Player is strictly restricted to offline. Open Battle.net was removed so trading can no longer be done with Single Player characters.

Just craft your own gear. No need to trade.

Thanks Timber. Are there any best practice guides you can steer me to? Up to now Its been farming / making Runewords, although getting the better runes has been very challenging. I farmed Lower Kurast superchests for more then an hour on /Players 8 the other day and not a single rune dropped. Will keep at it…
