Why's it called a Shako?
In Diablo 2, when it dropped, that was the name you'd see on the ground. Then it would be a Harlequin Crest in your inventory. It's a term for a kind of hat, which it doesn't resemble in any way but that's how it was coded.
Edit: not that I ever got one in D2 for that matter...
Ahh that makes sense! I was trying to like, piece together the word "Shako" from bits of text on the screen lol, thanks!
