Veil of Steel

Veil of Steel is an elite Unique Helm with an item level of 77 and a Character Level requirement of 73. It confers a very good boost to resistances.

Notes

The head is one of the most vulnerable and important parts of the body, so protective headgear of all sorts have long been a staple of a decent suit of armor. The simplest designs consist chiefly of a tight-fitting leather or metal cap, securely fastened to remain atop one's head. More advanced designs include faceted sides to deflect and absorb attacks, noseguards and gorgets to protect the nose and neck, and even visors that close over the face. A sturdy helm may be one of the best investments an adventurer can make.

• In 1.10 of the Expansion the odds of gambling a Unique is 1 in 2000.
• Elite Uniques are found only in the Diablo II Expansion, not in Diablo II Classic.

Key
