Description
While a very rare drop, this item has little trade value, especially when relative to its blue-tinted brother, Nightwing's Veil.
Key details
- Sorry to disappoint you if you're price checking this after finding it the first time!
- The Veil might have a niche use to grant resistances for your mercenary if you socket the Veil with a Hel rune to lower its strength requirement, but at that point you may as well use Kira's Guardian instead to also gain the Cannot be Frozen trait.
- The Veil is a nod to a quest in the first Diablo game, in which you receive the item as a reward for finding a spectral elixir for the cursed undead knight Lachdanan.
- Once Lachdanan drinks the elixir, he is freed from his curse and grants you the Veil off his own head before dying at last.
D2Emu Tips
- This Helm is still a solid defensive headgear, designed mostly for your main character - light radius penalty is easily neglected by your torch, while you can get the advantage of +15 vita (your mercenary cannot).
- At the gates of Hell, the only thing to save you is the Veil of Steel.
- Because a unique can only drop once per instance, any game where a Veil of Steel has dropped has a greater chance of spawning a Nightwing's Veil than a game where it has not.
- The odds of a unique Spired Helm being Veil of Steel: Qlvl 1-76: 1/1 Qlvl 77+: 1/2.
