Uniques/Off Hand/The Narrow Sermon

The Narrow Sermon is a Mortal Unique dirk with no boss attached: it drops anywhere in Hell, most often from H8 up (rarer below that home difficulty, never above it), and nowhere else. Every copy is item level 110, and there 0.2% of what falls comes up Unique. It is built on Sovereign Starveil Dirk — step 6 of the Starveil Dirk line, item level 80 and up.

It always rolls the same numbers: +48 Power, +14% Attack Speed, +56 Power, +16% Attack Speed, +45% Projectile Damage, +26% Attack Speed, +12% Critical Chance and +55% Critical Damage.

One Unique drop in 40 is a Mythical copy: the same item carrying 15–25% Mythical Energy that boosts every stat on it and can never be changed; the 15% floor is 10 times as common as the perfect 25%.

On top of that it carries The Narrow Sermon — Fan of Knives is a 75° cone of 15 knives that pierce 2 more each, but it recharges 25% slower.

Wearing it hands you Fan of Knives.

“Every point made, in one direction, at once.”
