Is the Leoric's crown legendary drop standard issue for fighting the skeleton king? I'm asking cause i'm trying to decide if i should salvage the crown i got from leoric the first time i fought him (i've fought him twice as a demon hunter. Once under the 100% exp community event where i felt overleveled by the time i got to the drowned temple. And then again today when i went into the game. Leoric's Crown is a legendary helm that can be found in Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls. This item can be found and equipped by any class. The Smart Drop system ensures that this helm will usually roll with the mainstat appropriate to the class that finds it.

3. Leoric's Crown

Leoric's Crown is an example of this. All legacy items whose ability got changed also look like this. If the diamond is just an outline, it can be cubed but you haven't cubed it yet. The blacksmith can craft very useful items but most stats on all the items available are random. This design was to create the sense of 'gambling' feel and to fit the tone of the Diablo series trademark randomization elements. Salvaging items destroys the item and gives you one or two crafting components.

Leoric's Manor is where Leoric himself resided during life, and lies within Leoric's Hunting Grounds in the Highlands or Sanctuary.

This page includes details of Leoric's Manor Courtyard.

There is usually a Shrine somewhere in the courtyard but kill the monsters before clicking the shrine and going in to the Manor.Check the fireplace at the back of the room on the right hand side of the hallway. Here you may find some burnt logs which will turn out to be Leoric's Shinbone (db). This is a component needed to craft the Staff of Herding for the secret level Whimsyshire.
