it would REALLY REALLY help if you told us where the items you found with the golden coloring are the only rare items are the items with Dark blue coloring and golden coloring the silver items are normal and useless
You get this item by fighting in the yellow portal battles. However, I'm playing in Heroic mode so I don't know for sure if that has to do with anything.
How the hell do you figure out drop % chances, unless you hacked into the game.

Are there items in the game files that did not make it into the playable version. Items such as Frankie's Bardiche maybe? I ask because when Enlightened helmet had the glitch still I saw an icon for Frankie's weapon.
