Unsure,

I think may know based on his thread but you may need to touch base with him

Hey Everyone!

So, I have taken a little break to compose a big ass document for tracking items and where they are first found. I did this all manually, so it took a while to do then double check my work. I only got through Normal and I don't know if it helped my drive or hurt it :D Some fun (or maybe not) findings from making the document:

1. There are 502 total unique/set items to find (not counting Sunder, but counting Anni + Torch) and 269 of them are in Normal. That's 53% of all the items in the first difficulty
2. The first "hard" item per se is Tal Ammy off Stormtree. P8 and 300 mf means ~1:35,000 chance of it dropping!
3. Diablo has the largest drop table at 53 new items I will need to find
4. Nihlathak is by far the biggest "jump" in item quality. Frozenstein is mLvl 46. Nihlathak is 68!
5. Speaking of Act 5....it might kill me. The drop chances are HORRENDUS. For example, Dac Farren has 4 items with either ~1:35,000 or 1:46,000 chance to drop. Sharptooth Slayer? Four items with....1:136,000 to drop. Yes, 136,000. That's 75x the runs from what it took me on Countess by average

Cool stuff. I stopped at Normal because I might retire in 25 years before I finish this. But...we continue on...probably next week :D

It can drop in tombs off the right unique pack, however the first Super Unique/Boss that can drop it is Stormtree. So that is who I need to find it by/grind to get it. If I happen to find it in tombs, it would count though.

Speaking of that, I recently found out 4 open socket scythes can drop in tombs via unique corpse defiler packs, so all those RAL runes I found won't be used for Rhyme but for an Insight if I happen to find one there.
