Treasure Classes. These are of use to compare to what each monster can't drop. You can see how these work in the D2X economy by noting how much scarcer and more expensive everything above what Meph can drop is, since so many people do Meph runs to gather up their equipment. Many of the best Uniques and Sets are of the following item types. Remember, Hell Meph can't drop any of these.

I'm not 100% sure about that, if that site is wrong, let me know. I've never found tal's armor off meph, and I used to do non stop meph runs all day with 500+ mf for weeks.
