Okay-- in my quest to prepare for Hell level's (uh, challenging) might, i've done some runs across the many levels of NM..... and i have found the best stuff in Act Five, Glacial Trail.
yeah, you might think taking on Mephisto or The Council would get you high-octane stuff. nope.
the Pit Vipers on the Glacial Trail consistently dropped Rejuvie or Full Rejuvie potions. and in one session i found a Set Item and a Unique Ancient Shield. there are also plenty of high level plain old blue magic items to sell for big-time gold.... (you wouldn't leave a pile of 5,000 gp on the ground, so why leave that Jagged Star?)
just my two cents. -= Heat Miser =-
