In the world of Diablo 4, reaching endgame builds can be an exciting journey. But we’ve all been frustrated by missing some important Uniques. Today, we delve into unique areas of equipment to discover the most effective methods for targeted farming.
To learn more about Unique Diablo 4 Items, let’s take a look at the patch notes and hot fixes. In the August 8th patch, we can see that some of Uniques added in the patch can only drop from World Tier 4.
While they added some Uniques to Helltide Chests loot tables on July 6 patch, they only had a disappointing 5% drop rate.
But there’s also a hot fix here, made so that all Helltide Chests can drop any unique gear. This means that Helltide Chests that drop helmets also have a chance to drop Unique Gloves. This makes Helltide a less viable option for target farming Uniques overall.
Each Monster Has A Different Uniques Drop Chance
Here’s how Uniques drop. As long as you’re at World Tier 3 or higher, you have a chance to get Uniques from pretty much anywhere. The reason they are so hard to get is that they are the least likely item to drop.
Among them, Uber Uniques is the most powerful Uniques, but it is almost impossible to find. Our expectation is that no matter how long you play the game, you will never find these Uniques. It turns out that different monsters are more likely to drop certain gear than others. For example, Cultists and Cannibals have a higher drop rate for helmets.
So if you’re a Druid looking for Unique Helm, Tempest Roar. Your best bet then is to find the place with the most Cultists and Cannibals.
Best Places To Farm Uniques
Our next step is to find the best places to farm Uniques. We need places with high densities of mobs and elites.
Nightmare Dungeons
Creature densities in both Nightmare Dungeons and Helltide have been increased in recent patches. Therefore, killing these elites and bosses has a certain chance of dropping more Diablo 4 Gold and Uniques. And Nightmare Dungeons are undoubtedly the best source of all these Uniques.
Also, completing Nightmare Dungeons ending screen rewards you with 4 items. These items may all be Unique or Legendary. So let’s make a plan.
We know that the rarity of an item has nothing to do with the level of the monster you’re fighting. So instead of focusing on doing higher level Nightmare Dungeons, you should only focus on levels you can complete quickly. Your goal should be a World Tier that can easily beat any elite you come across.
Below is a list of some of the best Nightmare Dungeons with the highest elite density. This is the increased drop rate based on the monster type. To further increase your clearing speed, you need to stack as many movement speeds as possible.
You can increase your movement speed with Amulets and Boots. You also get more mobility from Skills, Passives, or Legendary Aspects.
Helltide
If you get bored with Nightmare Dungeons, you can also switch to Helltide. Helltide appears every 2 hours for an hour. My suggestion is to save 250 Aberrant Cinders and find a Mystery Chest. Helltide’s Mystery Chest drops a ton of loot, all of which could be Uniques.
Helltide, similar to Nightmare Dungeons, also offers good monster density and elites. This makes Helltide a viable option for farming Uniques.
Tips
Also, there are two ways in which we cannot farm Uniques. The first is not to farm Uniques in Purveyor of Curiosities. And Whispers can’t get you more Uniques.
You only get a chance to find more Uniques in Elites, Bosses, and End Screens of Nightmare Dungeons. Doing these should allow you to find Uniques you’re looking for with the highest success rate. Good luck and have fun.
