Share = of that spec’s top-key characters still in the spec when read, the part wearing this item in that slot (rings and trinkets: either slot).

How sure is this?
why?
Where evidence disagrees
- • It carries Strength or Agility or Intellect: one piece serves specs of 3 kinds, so they can want the same drop.
- • The Great Vault pays 318 for +10 and up — more than the drop itself (311).
