Where is the best drop of sacred base item?
Personally I found the best place to get sacred bases to be act 5 nightmare. I experienced finding sacred gaunlets, greaves, an ancient armor and a Plated Belt 3 times in a row with different characters just by killing enemies on my way to Baal when I just wanted to reach destruction. I usually find at least 2 of those bases by running through the whole act once. And I find that pretty weird considering that you don't find those items that regularly once you get to destruction. If you can deal with the item level being a bit lower (even for crafting it doesn't matter that much, since almost all affixes can be rolled with an ilvl 90 base aside from 1 affix on Naginatas) then this is probably a good way to get those bases. You could for example run nilathak in nightmare a couple of times in order to also farm some arcane crystals which you may or may not use to get some unique rings or a unique amulet. You would also get some attribute signets that way.
Aside from that I think I read that duncraig has some kind of drop bias for sacred items. But Fauztinville should be an option, too.
Just for your information: You can use d2stats and adjust the drop filter in order to not miss any bases you need.
