Unique item

General
Unique items ("green" items) are items named after the in-game characters they have previously belonged to (In the storyline).

Unique items...


 * cannot be dyed
 * cannot be salvaged
 * cannot be upgraded
 * can be customized by a weaponsmith
 * Will sell for a fixed price of 35 gold at a merchant (or 42 gold after identification).
 * Now come in an assortment of requirements and damage levels.

There are two types of unique items in Chapter 1:
 * Unique items in Sorrow's Furnace, Grenth's Footprint and Prophet's Path are named after the bosses that drop them. Each dwarven boss has a set of 3 items.
 * 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.


 * Factions greens get their name from the boss again, but they drop in low level areas as well (with matching lower stats).

Acquisition
The only ways to get a unique item is to kill the owner boss and/or trade with another player. When you kill the boss, there is a certain chance that he will drop one (or more) of his unique items. The same item might be dropped more than once at the same time.

The bosses dropping the unique items can only be found in the following areas of the game in Chapter 1:
 * Grenth's Footprint
 * Sorrow's Furnace
 * Ruins of the Tomb of the Primeval Kings
 * Prophet's Path

In the Factions Campaign, pretty much all bosses drop unique items. Additionally, unique items in Factions may be traded from collectors using the Amulet of the Mists awarded to the player at the completion of the last Canthan mission.
