At one time I was carrying two engagement rings, no dupe.
I got one when one of the 'unique' monster dropped it after
I killed it. Another, strangely enough, was found in a barrel.
I have to wonder how diablo generate the unique item.

While we are on the subject of unique items, is there a
unique item worth having? I mean, a king's [weapon of your
choice] of [attribute of your choice] beats all unique
weapons I know of. The same goes for godly plate of something.
I used to be overjoy by seeing a gold colored item dropped by
the unique monster, now I don't even bother with them, especially
the weapon item.

Just the only advantage a unique item has over a normal magical
item is that it can have more than two effects, although more
likely than not, the extra effects are negative. So, what do
you think?

Later...
