having too much fun playing this... reliving the D2 nostalgia while being overwhelmed with the amount of depth it additionally adds.

Thanks for answering two of my questions, here is a third.

Do certain areas drop the most valuable sacred uniques?

I've been farming the destruction Kuran 3000BC (or somewhere close to that name) and i'm not sure if I can ever get the item I wanted.

For example, in which location would I be able to get "Wotansvolk" which is clearly the best variant of barbarian two hand axe "Labrys"?

Dest act 1? Dest act 5? Uber levels?

Certain ubers have certain drop bias. K3K has a drop bias for sets, so you're more likely to find set items there. TA has a drop bias for Uniques. And Duncraig has a drop bias for sacred items. What that means: TA drops more unique items, but Duncraig drops better ones. So in case of Labrys, you should probably farm Duncraig if you can. If you can't, go with TA (Tran Athulua)

So... Why do scepters have such shit base damage? Light-sons already feel pretty gimped without being pigeonholed into using terrible mainland weapons. Is there a specific reason for the low damage? Why not expand light skills to maces and scepters to even the playing field?

because they were originaly ment to be used by casters , therefore the weapon damage was irelevant . in order to fix this , for weapon damage builds using scepters (see stormzon for example) we have got

Try 40 mf and it wont make much difference. I prefer spend more on killspeed.
You should try farming diablo too.

200-300 is a good area to be in. just focus on kill speed now because quantity > quality once you get in that range.
