New to Median XL and Reanimates

Hello all.
I set up this mod just today to try it out after playing vanilla diablo 2 with a friend. I'm somewhat familiar to diablo 2 but have no idea about anything median xl related. I searched as much as I could for reanimating basics but got very little in the way of progress.

First off, how does one reanimate? Is it just from items that contain it as a percentage chance?

Secondly, where does one craft / find reanimate items, even early on.

From all the threads, documentation, etc I read I saw nothing on how the basics of reanimate works; just builds and crafting as things that one does but I did not know crafting was even a portion of the game until now. Also if you don't understand my questions exactly, it's basically how does reanimate work as a mechanic; how can I find things to let me reanimate, especially early on in the game; and anything else I should probably know about reanimation. I would read a good wiki or something if link but I found no such thing so far.

Apologies as this probably seems like and idiotic question but I really have no clue and don't want to go wandering around looking for reanimate stuff only to find out I've been doing it wrong for a quarter of the game.

Some items and charms have % chance to reanimate as a specific monster. Reanimates can reanimate when you or your minions/reanimates kill an enemy (iirc). If you go to the docs and navigate to Items >> Tiered, you can ctrl+f and search "reanimate" it will show all tiered uniques that have them. Tiered uniques are early game items. There are also items in the runeword section of the docs that have reanimates as well. For later game navigate to the sacred uniques page. Reanimate mods can appear on rare (yellow) items and sacred items crafted with shrines, hidden shrines are the best shrine for this purpose. Vendors in town also sell reanimate orbs (skeleton/fallen one) that can be cubed with armor, just be sure to not over orb the items as each orb adds +2 to required level. The necromancer skill sacrifices can be used for reanimates and the Amazon has the uber skill spirit of vengeance which is an untargetable summon that can summon random monsters.

There aren't any recent guides for reanimator builds but should be some info on the old forum if you don't find any here.

You may find some good info @ link below as well.

The doc, it will become your median bible and should answer most questions you may come across. I couldnt really find any updated builds related to reanimates specificly... any current ones anyway. the earliest reanimate you can get if from the harkon gems from the level 5 challanage (you can find specifics on it in the documentation).

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2665 you can check out this thread for some information on some different types of reanimates and other peoples personal favoriets to use.

Good luck and have fun.

Edit: fumbles beat me to the punch.

Alright, thanks guys.
