Possibility of 4os Phase Blade?

Ok so i was looking at the drop calculator and it doesnt seem to have any mlvl >40 monsters that can drop a Phase Blade. So my guess is that instead of using the Socket quest i have to use the HCube formula and hope for the best.

Is this true or can a monster with a mlvl of 26-40 drop one.

Please Help!

This I dont know.

But if you use the cube-recipy, you will have 1/6 chance of getting 4sox. Remember, the cube-recipy only works with non-superior items.

Right, dammm. Forgot about that.

EDIT: Then is it even possible to get a 4os Phase Blade by socketing it any way?

Or is it just if it spawns?

Monsters that are lower than level40 will not be dropping phaseblades. You might get lucky enough to see one drop, otherwise you'll need to rely on your 1/6 chances with the horardric cube.

Where is the best place to Farm PBs then? I'm guessing Cows?

Any other places that have good spawn rates?

According to ATMA, you guess correctly. In a full game the odds are ~1:1150, and in a single-player game the odds are ~1:2650... or there abouts.

After cows, it's looking like the Balrogs in the Act5 Pits (Abaddon, Pit of Acheron, etc) and a few scattered monsters.
