It looks like Diablo 4 has Diablo 2's most powerful hat, as Blizzard has confirmed the drop of the Harlequin Crest in the new action RPG. Harlequin Crest is the name of a hat that has been around for hundreds of hours playing Diablo 2 and Diablo 2 Resurrected. While the name may not mean much to those who haven't played Diablo 2 or Diablo 2 Resurrected, this unique hat, known to veterans as the Shaco because of the class of item it was based on, was a staple of nearly every powerful build. Adam Fletcher, confirmed the Harlequin Crest drop for Korean players via Twitter: "I can confirm that there is indeed a Harlequin Crest :)" he said.

As reported by wowhead, the Harlequin Crest in Diablo 4 is a beast, so its legacy will likely live on. It has the bonuses that every class wants: life, resource generation, all stats, cooldown reduction, damage reduction, and, wow, +4 ranks to all skills.

How do I get a Harlequin Crest in Diablo 4? It's not 100% clear at this point, but the current thinking is that wherever it shows up, it won't drop until you hit level 90, whether it drops in the Nightmare dungeon or towards the end of the game.

The Shaco was an essential item for Diablo 2 players, the most expensive helmet in the game, and the perfect slot for endgame play on the highest difficulty levels. On top of that, there were very strong bonuses to finding magic, and it was much easier to fill out the rest of the endgame build if you had the Harlequin Crest early on. It was also an incredibly versatile item in Diablo 2, especially in Resurrected's world of sharing equipment between characters. It was the best hat for everyone.

By the way, if you are the kind of person who goes hunting for legendary equipment, I recommend turning on the advanced tooltip for the status range display. Because with this tooltip enabled, you will know if you are saving an item to retrieve or to re-roll.

If you're new to Diablo 4 and have gotten the Diablo 4 Beginner's Guide while the release window is chaotic. To say that the release is in chaos is not an exaggeration. There were wildfires in North America, things that didn't seem like E3, and a lot of non-game things: for example, the first level 100 hardcore player died from a disconnect. Also, the premium skins and the open-world microtransaction hell that is the open-world are not appealing to me.

Perhaps our own Tyler Korpp summed it up best in his review of Diablo 4, calling it "a live-service action RPG, with almost everything that makes it great buried."
