Normal is the only difficulty that doesn't exactly follow the area level = item level idea.Īll monsters from this point in Act III, as long as they are a boss packĪll monsters in Act IV, if dropped from elite pack will be at least ilvl 26, therefore I am only listing regular monster drop possibilities here. This ensures you will get 4 sockets for your Spirit and Insight bases from Larzuk socket quest.

Since the item level is based on the monster level, everything in Act 5 (up until the Keep level 3) is between Level 26. Any broad/long/crystal sword drop from monsters in Act 5 normal (up to Worldstone Keep Lv 3) should be able to be 4-socketed. The reason why people farm these swords on normal cows is because the area has the correct level to maximize the chance of crafting 4 sockets on a sword using the cube recipe Ral + Amn + Perfect. I got a white Long Sword from normal chaos sanctuary but Larzuk trolled me and only gave 3 sockets (item lvl probably wasn't high enough). Just grab a white crystal sword then use your act 5 socket reward on it, instant 4os crystal sword. They can drop a 4 sockets crystal sword as far as I know, but its rare. Currently stuck looking for a 4os sword to make spirit.

I have also been grinding normal cows for hours and I do not see a 4 socket sword drop anywhere.

I thought crystal swords had 4 max sockets. I have compiled a list of what monsters will drop items between ilvl 26-40 in Normal. Tips for Farming Spirit Sword Made a fresh sorc on Europe Ladder last week and been trying to gear up a bit. 1 Larzuk quest for crystal swords only gave me 3 sockets.
