Uniques/Head/The Owl's Verdict

The Owl's Verdict is a Demon Unique helm with no boss attached: any drop at Threat 22 or higher can turn out to be it, and at that Threat 0.5% of what falls comes up Unique. It is built on Sovereign Owlcrest Helm — step 6 of the Owlcrest Helm line, item level 80 and up.

It always rolls the same numbers: +16% Critical Damage, +36 Ward, +30% Critical Damage, +40 Ward, +48% Critical Damage, +11% Critical Chance and +548 Ward.

On top of that it carries The Owl's Verdict — +40 Critical Damage; Main crit bonus +10.

It is Adventure Mode loot.

“It sees the seam in every guard, and it is not kind about it.”
