I have been running back-to-back Staff of Herding runs. I get Super Awesome Sparkle Cake about 75% of the time I go in and have yet to see the sword in the past 4 hrs.
I know that you have to get it from Super Awesome Sparkle Cake in whimsy*****, but I’m wondering if I might have scrapped one that I got earlier (like in a rainbow gob run) without identifying it and now can’t get another one? Can you get more than 1 sword drop in a season or is my relationship with the RNG gods in the crapper?
Items don’t work like plans. Drop chance is not related to what you have found before.
You can find Spectrum more than once just like you can the Horadric Hamburger more than once. The Spectrum sword is a good bit rarer though, so it’s not out of the ordinary for you not to come away with one after several runs.
But yes, you can get it once, twice, or several times in a season or in non-season.
Agh! Well, I guess the RNG gods are a little POed, then.
Off to farm some more!
Edit: After about another half hour, I was running through and ran up against Creampuff…lo and behold, it dropped!! I double checked to be sure that Creampuff was the only elite (reading the chat window) and verified it.
I was under the understanding that it ONLY dropped from Super Awesome Sparkle Cake, but that has now been proven wrong!
There’s at least half a dozen unique elites that will drop it. I’ve had it drop from Nightmarity and Maisie for sure. Think tubbers also.
