I've been continuing my journey down into Hell lately as a Sorceror and am pleased to say I got Lachdanan as one of my quests.
At first I was dissappointed because I knew that the quest reward (Veil of Steel) wasn't of much use to as Sorceror but when I completed the quest, Lachdanan gave me a Royal Circlet instead of the Veil!
I don't recall the Royal Circlet ever being a reward and although I'm glad I got that helmet instead of the Veil it still seems very weird. What can have caused this? Am I just missing something?
i have no idea ...sometimes he gives you veil and sometimes not...like sometimes the butcher gives me cleaver and sometimes just some random magic weapon..might have something to do with drop rates or % chance to get it
Wow, I never realized the system worked like that. I guess with quest rewards there's always an off chance you'll get something other than the usual. Strange system though. I wonder if it's intentional or some kind of bug.
The only thing I can think of is this section from Jarulf's Guide:
"In single player (but not in multi player) the game keeps track of what unique items have been dropped (or recreated at game start in a characters inventory) and if the same item is determined to be dropped again (or regenerated at game start), the next one with the same qlvl or the one with the next lower qlvl will instead be dropped. Thus in single player you can actually find those "unfindable" unique items but you must find at last one other unique item of the same base item first. The game will forget the list of found unique items when you restart a new game however. The list is saved when you save the game in single player but not restored upon load except for those items you have equipped."
However, I don't think this works for quests. And besides, the Veil of Steel has its own base item, it is does not share a base item(crown) with the Royal Circlet..
My guess is that you killed a monster near Lachdanan and it dropped the Royal Circlet.
