Monarchs will always have 25% chance for 4os by cubing, and will always receive 4os from larzuk regardless. Those cannot drop until hell, so don't even bother looking for then on NM. Those can only roll up to 4OS even if the ilvl exceeds 40, this means the cube recipe will roll 1-4, only giving you 25% chance of 4OSĪs for shields, there is only really monarch as a real contester, since all other possible options have to high str req. But since the max socket varies on the 3 mentioned bases the odds will look like this (if the ilvl of the sword is 26-40:Īs base can roll 1-6 sockets, this means that the roll from 4-6 will roll 4 sockets since its capped at 4 by ilvl. This roll will always roll between 1 and max sockets possible on the base.

Without using larzuk the easiest way to get it, is to farm a white base from the 3 mentioned, and use the cube recipe amn+ral+p amethyst. If you choose to use your larzuk quest on it, you should go to normal a4-cows to be sure to roll 4OS, those are guaranteed. However the sword cannot roll 4OS by default as a drop until nightmare act1. Now where can it drop? The base (white w/o any sockets) can drop from act 4 normal, and all the way to cows. The cap goes up to ilvl 40, when you exceed ilvl 40 the sword can roll more than 4OS. Before you can roll 4 sockets on it, it needs to be atleast ilvl 26. First things first, the best base to roll a spirit in with swords is a crystal sword, however a broad sword and long sword can also be used.
