World 2nd Harlequin Crest Shako Drop & How to Get Shako in D4

So coming over to this Chinese forum and here it is saying a Taiwan player has gotten the latest harlequin crest and it is likely this is the second in the game for Diablo 2 for the global service. We can see that rolls of this item is the minimum rolls, so 800+ hp, 4.4 cooldowns, 10% resource and 23 of the all stats and also 11% damage reduction. But the maximum roll for the +4 all skills is still there. So this item was dropped for the player at level 87. Because after level 73, all the items were dropped towards your player level. So we can see that this player was only levels 87 to be a cry in this item. Since the posting of this forum and this post, there has been a lot of comments, click here.

We have had a guide to talk about the first harlequin's crest farming, known as shako in Diablo 2 that was dropped in Korea. So the first item was dropped in Korea and this is a Korean player. He was level 98 when he got this item and this actually led to a lot of assumptions, because people were rumored to say that this item only dropped for level 90+ players, or they even said this item is dropped at level 90 tier nightmare dungeons. But with the latest harlequin’s crest dropped at level 87, this changes everything. So firstly, the player is not level 90 and surely he was not able to clear the level 90 tier dungeons. And what that means is both of the previous assumptions are invalid and we don't have to be level 90, we don't have to be doing nightmare dungeons at a super high level to be getting this item.

So we have some summaries from the comments and also the notes and also the previous information from the developers. What is more important is that you want to be on what difficulty for, because the developers have said that at a certain difficulty at a certain level, that players will have certain unique items that is to the end game added to the loot table in World Tier 4. And it is also possible that certain items will be gained behind a certain level, this could be level 73 or level 80. So if you have gotten to what difficulty for before level 73, what you're going to notice is before 72, you'll be getting item levels as low as level 60 for those items. But once you get to 73, your item will scale to your level. And this means the items you have been getting will be according to your player's level after level 73. So it could be a threshold after level 73, you can be getting some really good items.

The second assumption is that level 80 is going to be another threshold. Because the current world cache with vulnerables from difficulty 4, those caches are locked at level 80. And this can be indicating there may be more loots after level 80. 

After going through hundreds of comments in this particular post, we have not found the Chinese player who was disclosing about where he got item from. So the player that actually got this item was not saying where does harlequin crest drop in Diablo 4. But there have been a lot of clues and also assumptions for other comments in this particular chat and also from this particular forum. So it is very likely the harlequin crest was dropped on the nightmare dungeons. Now the speculation from the forum is saying this is coming from the level 50+ nightmare dungeons. 

So here's the comments “The focus is only level 87 and it is likely it's around floor 50 above or maybe around 45.” So they're saying that maybe this player was playing a difficulty for the nightmare dungeons around level 50 tier and this will be around level 104. This is because it is likely for level 87 player, his items are not fully updated and it'll be very hard for the player to play beyond level 50, beyond tier 50 for the nightmare dungeons. So what that means is this is a great news for us because for most of us average players, we don't have to push for level 90 tier dungeons to be going for those rare items. Because if we have to push for tier 90 for the nightmare dungeons.

New harlequin’s crest shako dropped in Taiwan:

- The first one was in Korea

• Rumors says that it only drops at lvl 90+ or event at tier 90+

- The second harlequin’s crest was just dropped in Taiwan. To a level 87 player.

• As a level 87 player, he would not be able to clear tier 90+ nightmare dungeons

• He is also not even level 90

• So both previous assumptions are now not valid

- What is important is the world difficult

• This has to be dropped at W4

• Devs have mentioned that certain unique are only added to the loot table in World Tier 4

• It is possible it drops after level 73/80+ (Maybe the locked world boss cache was a hint). As items dropped to characters below 72 shows equipable level as 60

- The Chinese player have not disclosed whether its dropped in nightmare dungeons or from open world events (like World Boss/Legion/Helltide)
