Hi,

Just curious...

As I understand how MF works, a base item drops and then the MF
routine runs on it to see if it's magic, rare, or unique.  The base
item for HoZ is a guilded shield.  It occured to me that I had never
seen a guilded shield of any kind much less an HoZ.

Well on Arreat Summit, there is no guilded shield listed, so how does
a an HoZ drop?  Or is it just missing on Arreat Summit?

Or am I on the wrong track?

Thanks
jeff

You're just missing stuff.  A guilded shield is a pally only shield,
so is listed seperately from the other shields.  As a class only item,
it has something like 1/3 as likely to drop as other items.  It is
however, only an exceptional item, so you don't have to be questing in
Hell to find one.

I see now.  I just couldn't remember seeing a guilded shield of any
kind when I noticed what was the base name of the HoZ.  I see now none
of the class only items are listed among the base item lists and after
looking up the base items for some of the other class only uniques, I
realize I have seen some of them NOT as uniques, like a swirling
crystal and the ceremonial Amazon items.

Thanks.  I should have kept studying on it.....

1/6 is the class specific penalty.
