Hi all,

I have been playing Diablo 2 since it was released. It has been a long ongoing search for what many claim is an easy to find hat: the Shako.
I have never found this item, ever!
I play self found, so please don't offer one in trade or try to give me one.
Solo single player, I play hardcore and my top MF character is a lvl 94.5 Sorceress with 437% magic find.

Typically I hunt in Hell difficulty killing the following:
Pindle
Shenk/ Eldritch
Mephisto
Ancient Tunnels
The Pit
Andariel

Diablo and Baal take to long and in my experience never drop anything so I don't do them at all.
I have tried all versions of /player# but speed of run is important so I tend to do players 3-4

I am weary of the non rewarding hunt.
Where did you find your Shako, what MF % did your character have and what level was your character?

With your MF, in an 8 players game, a drop-bugged Andariel has a 1/400 chance of dropping it. Mephisto, Diablo and Baal all have ~ 1/600 chance. Those are your best odds.

More spots you clear per run, higher will be your loot.

Thanks for the comments.

Update:

I have added Chaos Sanctuary to my MF run. At first I was clearing it all but it just takes to long so I teleport passed the beginning part and teleport to Diablo's circle and clear from there and pop all the seals.
So far no Shako ( and I don't expect to find one :P )
It is slow to clear. I am using fireball / glacial spike for safety. remember I am hardcore so I can't be taking risks. Diablo's lightning breath can kill me if it hits me dead on due to very average resists so I am doing my best to dodge it but there have been a few close calls.
Fun stuff.

at those odds I should have found 20-30 Shakos already as I am certain I have killed Hell diff Andy over 10,000 times on this character!
