I played in 1.00 version of D2.
Finished both, 1.01 and 1.02 versions of the game.
I didn't encounter any bugs related to named items. They didn't disappear MYSTICALLY.
So, I repeat myself - there is NO. SUCH. BUGS.
If you can't find some parts - it means you just can't find it. Too bad, try harder. Powerful set is not supposed to be giver you for free.
Only Ulthring set is in diff locations.
P.S. I just don't remember where each part of Archmage set in which chest.
