Wormskull dropped for my brother while we were partied in the Frigid Highlands/Arreat Plateau. Io starts dropping around Act 1 Nightmare(or at least, I got my first and only one there), Dol around the same time(SOMETIMES in Act 5 Normal) Sol and Ort are medium to rare in Act 5(best chance of Sol would be in Worldstone Keep downwards) You can even get Amn, for crafting a caster ring. If you feel lucky, you can try crafting a caster wand. Then not only might you get a +2 wand with +3 to specific skills, you could get better mana regen, more mana, etc. My brother wound up with a socketed caster wand that didn't add skills, so he passed it to a druid(after adding in a jewel with enhanced gold/mf) Crafting is good once you get to about level 40-50. Anything more than that, the level requirements on the item could get ridiculously high. Even at level 35, you might wind up with an item requiring level 40 to use. Moral of the story? Craft medium early/late, craft often. ;)
