For example, if you have 6 others in the game with you (7 players in total) and 200 magic finding, the odds are 1 and 564 for a Shako drop on quest and 1 in 879 off quest. These odds rise considerably the more magic finding you have and the more players you have in the game (the player odds cap at 7). If you’re the only player in the game with zero magic finding, you will have a 1 and 1,338 chance of Mephisto dropping a Shako if you’re killing her for the quest and a 1 and 2,035 chance of it dropping killing her off the quest. However, it can only be dropped in the ‘Hell’ difficulty. Mephisto is the final boss in Act 3 and has the highest chance to drop a Shako. All of the odds listed below are with 0 magic finding on your character and increase exponentially with the more magic finding you have and odd number of players in the game. But there are a few monsters that have much better odds of it dropping than anything else. +1-148 To Mana (+1.5 Per Character Level)īecause the Shako has an item level of 69, you’ll need to be killing a monster with the same or higher level in order for it to be possible to drop. +1-148 To Life (+1.5 Per Character Level) The Harlequin Crest, AKA Shako, has an item level of 69. Generally, monsters progress in their levels as you get further along in the game and into new difficulties – with a few caveats for certain areas. This is also why you will progressively see better items being dropped as you progress through the game. Generally, most of the items you’ll want in your end-game build are higher item level, meaning you need to kill higher monster levels to get them. In order for certain items to be dropped, monsters need to be a minimum level that matches or is higher than the item’s level. You’re unable to see these yourself in the game, but luckily we have over 20 years of knowledge to go off of from Classic Diablo 2. Each item in the game has a specific item level assigned to it and each area has a specific monster level. ‘Item level’ and ‘area level’, or what we will call ‘monster level’. When it comes to finding specific items, there are certain things you should be looking out for.
