Unique item

General
Unique items ("green" items) are perfect items named after their owners.

Unique items...
 * are "max items", i.e. they have the max possible damage / energy bonus
 * always have a requirement of 9 for their linked attribute
 * cannot be dyed
 * cannot be salvaged
 * cannot be upgraded
 * can be customized by a weaponsmith
 * Will sell for the silly fixed price of 35 gold at merchant (or 42 gold after identification).

There are two types of unique items in the game:
 * Unique items in Sorrow's Furnace and Grenth's Footprint are named after the Dwarven bosses that drop them. Each boss has a set of 3 items and the items hold some part of his name or another.
 * Unique items in the Ruins of the Tomb of the Primeval Kings drop from the final bosses in that area known as the Darknesses. The items are all named after dead kings or lords, except for Illyana whose identity is currently unknown. It is possible that the owners were all Ghostly Heroes who fell during the takeover of the tombs, or were just buried in the tombs with their weapons.

Acquisition
The only ways to get a unique item is to kill the owner boss or trade with another player.

Each "advanced" boss owns up to 3 unique items. When you kill that boss, there is a certain chance that he will drop one (or more) of his Unique Items.

"Advanced" bosses can only be found in the following areas of the game: Unique items cannot be found in chests.
 * Grenth's Footprint
 * Sorrow's Furnace
 * Ruins of the Tomb of the Primeval Kings
 * Prophets Path (since update on 2nd of March, 2006)
