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.

  • Items from this set can only be found in the Secret Cow Level.
  • You can not gamble any Uniques in the Expansion, they must be found.
  • Item Level: Used in many in-game calculations. Monsters must be of this level to drop the item. A list of monsters and their Mlvls can be found at Darkness
  • Clvl req is the character level you need to be to be able to wear the item.

Armor Notes

  • Light Armor: No stamina or speed penalties.
  • Medium Armor: +5% stamina drain and speed penalty.
  • Heavy Armor: +10% stamina drain and 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.
