Background

This is a set of items which can only be found in the Secret Cow Level. One special unique monster called the Cow King is created each time a portal is created to the Secret Cow Level, and killing him means the level can no longer be opened up by a character in that difficulty. The items are named after parts of the Cow King's body, and this, along with the full set bonuses of extra gold and magic find probably make joking allusions to the greed of players who run this level.

General Notes

Cow King's Leathers is designed for a low level character. The items aren't geared toward any class in particular, but would be particularly useful for melee fighters with the GIAS full set bonus, as well as casting Static Field and Chain Lightning when being struck by monsters, something which Sorceress' and Necro's wish to avoid. It is a pity that this set contains boots, otherwise it'd make a nice outfit for a barbarian mercenary.

• 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.
  
  

This is an Expansion-only set.

Set Bonuses

Partial set bonuses stack. If you are wearing three items, then you will get the bonus for wearing two items as well as the bonus for wearing three items. Full set bonuses stack on top of the partial bonuses, so if there is a partial bonus of +40 Life, and a full bonus of +40 Mana, with the complete set, you would receive both +40 life and +40 mana.
