I installed D 2 with LOD from official website files.
I update the version, go to Battle.net, it's not working - open nor close bnet does work.
When I apply median mod, I cannot even play single player when its normally running fine.
What do I need to do?
I downloaded median 1.3.2
I got Dialbo 2 LOD v1.14D

You've downloaded an outdated version, most likely from ModDB.
Read here for an installation guide for the most recent version: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=45891

1.
► Show Spoiler

this has all the info you need: buy oil of renewal at merchant.
https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/items/cube

2. its catalyst of discanchantement drops from andariel normal

Catalyst of Destruction is from old Lazbro MXL (when catalysts were purchased from merchants). if Raziebaxter is asking about that, then he/she's probably referencing a whole lot of other obsolete info as well.

Please check dates on any Median docs you read, this mod has been around for well over a decade, and has been evolving constantly throughout that time.

does 'ignore target's defense' make attack rating obsolete?

only for farming. bosses are immune to it

Sry for bad English, guys. But can you answer me - is this common thing that merc is often stuck, doesnt teleport to you, or just can't keep up. In result - 90% of the time im playing without merc (i was trying all 1,2,3 acts mercenaries). In D2 LOD i don't remember such thing.

this is not d2 LOD , here the mercs use a modiffied AI .

usualy , if you get to far from them , they get stuck far away from you .

use a teleport skill or enter tp and come back . that way , when you lose him , you can get him back close to you

I know about tp trick, but Its hella annoying to teleport to town like every 30 seconds, they literally can just stop moving, even if i take my time and wait for them.
How crucial they in end game?Can i play without merc or this will affect my effectivnes too much?

Use teleport, not town portal. Or skip using a merc altogether. I think most Median XL players just don't bother to use mercs, they're not as necessary as they are in vanilla D2
