Question about holy shield on scepters.

[Kedali]

So, I know it is extremely, extremely rare and only happens because of a bug, however, my question is has it always been this way or is there an earlier version that I could find one in and then convert it to 1.11? Also, looking for any tips if there are any for getting a scepter with HS on it in 1.11. Can be any color/type as long as it has HS. Don't know if there are any useful hints for it besides killing lots of stuff, but figured I'd ask.

Thanks for any help.

they where in 1.09 but was overpowered. in fact even now paladin has too many onepoint wonders.

Alright, thanks. I doubt I'll make a .09 char just to get the scepter, but good to know it is a possibility.

They can still occur but are extremely rare. Basicly the game has to roll invalid staff mods six times in a row to revert to holy shield or related mods. I wouldn't count on it.

ThanksScepters can get staffmods. Those staffmods are +1 or +2 or +3 to individual paladin skils. In 1.10+, there is a check in the calcuations that won't allow Smite or Holy Shield to appear on scepters. (The check was put in to keep poison dagger from appearing on wands but has effected more items and staffmods than that). The check that was put in was coded pretty horribly, so it is still possible for smite and holy shield to appear as staffmods on scepters, but it only occurs extremely rarely. For more information on this, check the responses to the sticked Item Generation Tutorial.
