Quote:there is no real best place to find an item, as it depends on the quality lvl (qlvl)
a royal circlet has qlvl 27,a stormshield has qlvl 24.
In order to be able to drop a Unique Item, a monsters Mlvl must be at least equivalent to the Qlvl of the Unique Item modifier (inclusive of the +4 modifier that Unique Monsters get). In the RC's case, this can ONLY be dropped in Hell... I'm fairly certain that a SS can drop on dlvl 12, but I'd have to go look at some numbers to be sure.
The other factor in deciding where to go looking for items is the fact that Unique Monsters have a higher chance of dropping Unique Items, and cannot drop cursed items... and when you're looking for Unique Monsters in hell, the best place to go is Laz & Co.
