General Notes

Tancred's Battlegear has the highest Clvl requirement for any of the old sets from Diablo II, but that doesn't translate into it being the most useful. The whole set bonus is impressive, but none of the individual items are good enough to use on their own.

These are the stats for the set in Diablo II Expansion Pack: Lord of Destruction, where there are partial set bonuses and hidden item bonuses.

• Item level (ilvl): Used in many in-game calculations. Monsters must be of this level to drop the item.
• Character level (clvl): The character level you need to be to be able to wear or equip the item.
• Hidden bonuses stack together. For instance, if an item has a bonus for two items and a bonus for three items, and three items are worn, both the bonus for two items and for three items will become active.
• It is possible to gamble Set and Unique items in v1.09+. The odds are roughly 1/1000 for Set items and 1/2000 for Unique items.
• Items with Rarity are expressed as a chance out of 1000. IE 78/1000 would mean that out of every 1000 set items of that base item that drop, 78 of them will be this particular one.
  
  

Weapon Notes

• Damage Bonus: This determines how you multiply the item damage by your stats to reach the actual damage. Multiply by the listed value per 100 points in that stat. All bows are 100 Dex, almost all melee weapons are 100 Str, most throwing weapons are 50/50.
• Weapon Speed: A relative comparison to other weapons of the same type. 0 is the base -10, -20, etc is faster, 10, 20, etc is slower, always in increments of 10. Each 10 is equivalent to an SIAS item. Previously items were listed with WSM modified by IAS on the items, we have revised this to show the Weapons base speed (WSM) before ANY IAS.
• Range: Relevant to melee weapons only. From 1 (least) to 5 (most) in D2X. Numbers are fixed across item classes: a 3 javelin = a 3 sword = a 3 hammer, etc.
  
  

Armor Notes

• Light Armor: 0% stamina drain and speed penalty.
• Medium Armor: +50% stamina drain and 5% speed penalty.
• Heavy Armor: +100% stamina drain and 10% speed penalty.

* When wearing another item of this set, the defense of this armor will increase at a rate of 2 defense per Clvl

Set Bonuses

Impressive bonuses for the full set, but none the individual items are just mediocre, and the very low damage of the weapon dooms any chance this one has of being useful for long, especially in multi-player games.

Diablo II

These are the stats for the set in Diablo II, where there are no partial set bonuses or hidden item bonuses.

Item	Item Name	Attributes	Commentary
	Tancred's Skull Bone Helm	22-26 Defense 80 Durability 25 Str Required Enhanced Damage 40 to Attack Rating Clvl Req: 20	You don't see AR on helms that often, but just 40 AR isn't enough to get excited about.
	Tancred's Weird Amulet	Damage Reduced by 2 Magic Damage Reduced by 1 Clvl Req: 20	Defensive stats, but physical damage reduction is not very important, and only -1 MD isn't much either.
	Tancred's Hobnails Boots	2-3 Defense 24 Durability Heal Stamina Plus 25% 10 to Dexterity Clvl Req: z	Nice Dex, but not boots anyone wears on their own.
	Tancred's Spine Full Plate Mail	150-161 Defense 140 Durability 80 Str Required 40 to Life 15 to Strength Clvl Req: 20	Good bonuses, but not enough Defense to be useful for that, and good armor has to have some resistances 99% of the time.
	Tancred's Crowbill Military Pick	12-19 1H Damage 52 Durability 33 Dex Required 49 Str Required Swing Speed:  P - Very Fast  B/S/N/Am - Fast Enhanced Damage 75 to Attack Rating Clvl Req: 20	Like most set item weapons, the damage on this one is way too low to be useful, when compared to magical or Rare weapons of a similar level.
