Quote:Item Rarity Calculator
I made this a long time ago. It's about as accurate as I can figure and should give you a good idea of how rare items are compared to one another. Just for fun calculate a Vulnerable Full Plate Mail of Weakness and compare it to an Obsidian/Zodiac.
That's nifty. It should go without saying that the best items in Diablo, while plenty hard to get in their own right, are far from the being the most rare. About 10 years ago, someone posted that the rarest item would be an emerald (specific melee weapon) of slaying. According to your calculator, an emerald bastard sword of slaying will show up about once every 2,840,000 games! On the bright side, you only have to get to level 14 and check for Dreadjudge before starting a new game. :D No need to bother with Wirt since even he cannot sell such a combo. At 30 seconds a game, 24 hours a day, it should only take a couple weeks eh?
