Which mods should I get for Coop Multiplayer?

[E_128]

Hello,
I've played this game many years ago, and me and a few friends would like to play it together online.

There are so many mods now, I don't know which to choose, and which works together and which doesn't.

Which mods should I get for Multiplayer?

In spite of the numbers- there is a group of mods that are best for Multiplayer which I will list.

Note: Mods placed on top will take priority. Here's an example:

Fix and Patch Mods should be placed just above their category.

Stat Mods
Item Mods
Class Mods
Overhaul Mods
Dungeon Mods

Mods on top will affect mods below hence it's important to order them accordingly.

For starters "TL2E Conversion" is a good choice (even as a foundation) since it helps the post campaign and makes farming Phase Beasts and Tarroch's Tomb easier among other things if conditions are met:

Other Mods that will be of interest are the Class Packs (these are 90% Multiplayer Friendly) of:

"FEP+"
"Variant Classes"
"TL1CP"

This Mod will help to better explore Class Builds:

"2xGoldFameExpStats"

Also the one Item mod that will be helpful for empowering any build:

"Lao 2 Chaos"

And if you want to acquire useful Items faster then place this above Item Mods:

"Running Wild"

For extra dungeons:

"Abysm"
"Path of Torchlight Part 2"
"Dungeon Challenge ReMod"

Here's a list of Mods and Packs with descriptions although some do not work together and some are not good for Multiplayer:

Overall the mods mentioned above are a decent starting point.

One possible Load Order to use:

"2xGoldFameExpStats"
"Running Wild"
"Lao 2 Chaos"
"FEP+"
"Variant Classes"
"TL1CP"
"TL2E Conversion"
"Abysm"
"Path of Torchlight Part 2"
"Dungeon Challenge ReMod"

What about the popular SynergiesMOD and Torchlight II Essentials? or Awesome Classes?

Synergies, Essentials and their Patch placed above (that's 3 mods) can be used instead of TL2E and those Dungeon mods to make room for them on the Load Order.

Awesome Classes provides some options however Variant gives the most and is more up to date with features.
Variant is also more Multiplayer friendly than Additional Classes and it's Addon mod options.

The Torchlight Fansite has the most updated version of Variant Classes if that's needed.

So TL2-E - full conversion/mod is not compatible with SynergiesMOD and Essentials?
Is there a pack that includes all of these mods together?

Could use them together as they are reported to function together it's just that Load Order space is limited. Most Packs don't merge these mods because TL2E is still being developed and Synergies is usually best loaded in that order because of it's Patch Mod.

For anyone looking for the TL2-E mod, its name has been changed.
It is now called TL2-ACE.

The mod has gotten quite large and is still being added to. Corley is very open to fixing bugs in the mod, so please let him know if you encounter any. Steffire3 and Error Correction also help with the mod, and steffire is able to assist with any questions you might have about mod load order if you are combining other mods with this one.
