How would I make an item that only drops as a unique? I figure this can be done but by going over the txts I can't seem to quite get it.

Thanks in advance!

If you don't want to affect other items (that is, you still want some "normal" stuff to drop as well), do this:

Let's say you want to see Hellplague drop easily in the game. Make a new row at the bottom of weapons.txt that duplicates everything that is in the longsword row except for the itemcode. Give it an itemcode not used by anything else. Put 1 in the "unique" column.

Add that new item code to string.tbl and make the decriptor in the right-hand column of the Table Editor be long sword or whatever you want. Then, go into uniqueitems.txt and change the base item itemcode for Hellplague to be your new one.

Now, when the game drops weapons and comes across the new one you made, it will drop as a unique. Thereafter, it will drop as a rare.

You can do this with all the weapons and armor if you want and change all the itemcodes in uniqueitems.txt if you like. It'll probably take your an hour or two of work.

If you want nothing but uniques and rare to drop and to be sold in shops:

Simply put 1 in the unique column for every armor and weapon in the respective .txt files.

Can this be done for set items as well? I did not see a column there so I do not believe that it would be as easy.

Nope. Set Items poses more of a challenge.

About the only way I know of is to simply go into TreasureClassEx.txt and pick a few commonly dropped treasure class categories with weapons, armor and/or jewelry...and then make the set column 1028 (or perhaps even 2048) while leaving the magic, rare and unique columns blank.
