Looking to get a Shako

[IGotSoul]

Well my meteorb has a pitiful helmet and a Shako seems like an achievable goal.

Ive heard that on ladder Shakos are worth 40 Pgems. The thing is I only have 7 and a few other things (Gladiators bane, some unique tiara, io, shael, dol, and hel runes, frostburn and skull collector)

Is there any way I can make a trade with what I have or should I get farming to get 33 more pgems.

NM and Hell Mephisto have decent chances to drop a Shako. I'd suggest running them and even if you don't find one yourself, the items then drop will allow you to trade for one.

Correct me if I am wrong, but nightmare Baal is the first act boss that can drop a Harlequin Crest and almost all monsters on Hell difficulty can drop a harlequin crest, but I believe Mephisto on nightmare difficulty can not drop it. (I do not have ATMA installed at my office)

Ditto. But I could have sworn I got one from NM Mephisto. I could very well be mistaken however. If that's the case then just ignore the NM part of my original post :grin:

You can trade the Kiras for the shako, seems pretty fair.

Some unique Tiara? Check the stats on it, if it has high resist you might be able to trade that.

Edit: To slow :-)

[IGotSoul]

I think the resists on that tiara are 66% How good is that?

If its bad could I throw something else in there to get a shako for it?

Yours is on the higher end, so it's a nice find.
