• Leoric's Shinbone (db)-- Found rarely in the fireplace in Leoric's Manor, in late Act One.
  • (Leoric's Shinbone is *not* present or required in the Diablo 3 console.)
  • To farm for this select Quest number 9 "The Imprisoned Angel" in the Change Quest menu when you log in. Take the Waypoint to Leoric's Manor. You will have two rooms to fight from the back of the manor to reach the room with the fireplace in.

The plan is account bound and can not be deleted currently which is thought to be a bug. In order to delete it create a character and give it to that character and then delete the character.
