How it drops

When the final enemy of a wave dies, a single loot roll is made using that enemy's level. If legendary rarity is rolled, all slots with eligible bases possess equal probability—save for Back, which has only 7% of the chance—and a specific base is subsequently chosen at an even rate. Amber Skull Staff unlocks at enemy level 30, restricted to Warrior and Sorcerer and Monk. Normal difficulty determines item level using 10 × (level − 1) to 10 × level + 9; in Nightmare and Inferno, enemies are strictly level 70, setting item level to 700 plus the map's level (× 2 on Inferno).

Possible affixes

Legendary gear rolls with 4 primary affixes and 1 secondary affix, selected without duplicates from the affix pool after excluding stats unavailable to your hero class. The ranges listed below correspond to the roll formula for each item level, which can also be tested using the item roll calculator.
