So I’m lv100 and still don’t have any Asheara’s khanjar, and I’m diving into target farming for it.
Some websites claim that serpents are good for daggers, some other say that cultists and bandits are good. Do we have any official statement on this?
I have tried bandit farming in Uldur’s Cave, for example, and I got maybe 2 rare daggers total in 3 dungeons, even though it might be the highest bandit density area in the game.
I tried serpents in Forgotten Ruins, but they’re only in the second part and there’s not too many of them. However, I foudn they dropped daggers quite often compared to other mobtypes. I don’t think there is any other ancestral NM dungeon with snakes in this rotation, which is a shame.
Cultists I haven’t really tested yet, but those are the mobs that dropped my last condemnation.
Anyone got experience or proof to share with me on this?
@Kaozium, obviously we have that long other thread. Yes, I believe Cultists can drop rare knives. I find this more likely than bandits personally. Path of the Blind has those objectives where some of the elites in the objectives are cultists.
My own sample size for whatever it’s worth:
-Found one as world boss bonus (horrible unusable roll)
-Found another as a randrom drop in random NM dungeon, the very, very long one where takes forever to collect the animus.
-Found one spamming world events during helltides
My own feeling is spamming world events during helltides has been most effective for me when trying to get random class uniques. I feel this is because I can keep the roll frequency very fast especially with Rogue and especially when events keep respawnign. So go to one, back to the other, and back and forth. I found Sorc Raiment this way as well.
For voodoo RNG, I feel like the game actually punishes redundant activity and rotating through the games activities (legions/helltides/NM) affectings the roll in a positive way. (I also find for example if you keep pushing helltides the last chests have a high tendency to drop very poor sacred only yellows after cinders 1100+ or something)
The only thing that is very clear is fastest way to get more rolls to burn through the ‘deck’ as it were is the only efficient option.
It is really sad there is no trading, otherwise I would just give you one if I could.
I use the same exact method for Helltides, but uniques are incredibly rare for me in mystery chests. I get maybe one per ten mystery chest opening, probably less. I don’t get a lot of uniques in event or legion chests either.
So far, my best source of unique is by far the NM completion reward. I’d say I get an unique every 5 dungeon or so, but of course daggers are incredibly rare.
I have not noticed any diminishing return when focusing on one single activity though. Dagger drops are equally horrible in every strategy I can think of…
I got my dagger drop form the world boss Ashava

I don’t think I ever got a unique from world bosses, and I have killed dozens ;o
I’m still trying to get the mount from Avarice I think I’m on attempt 30 with 2 characters switching from tier 4 to tier 3 on an alt seems impossible.

Let me clarify – while rare (probably 1/75 or 1/90), I get more uniques from helltides world event chests and NOT the cinders chests.
Because legions happens so infrequently I just don’t know about those chest reliability. But because some events Rogue can finish in literally 5-10 seconds, other due to event format 1-1.5minute max, I find it the fastest way to churn through the RNG deck to find the winning card.
I DO think the NM reward is higher probility since item needs to roll to legendary first and NM guarantees one, but the time it takes is much too long versus events.
Anyways, just my own experiences in enduring the brutalness that is RNG.

I’d totally take dagger over mount though!

At the moment I’m speedrunning 21-25 NM dungeons and it’s pretty fast. I use dash and backstab so most of them take me between 3 and 5 minutes. Good ratio for guaranteed legendary and potential uniques I’d say. I got 4 uniques since I started this method yesterday evening. The monsters/affixes are harmless, but the uniques I got were all ancestral, so I’m feeling quite good. I think I’m gonna do all WBs and Helltides, and fill the wait with low lvl NMs.

21-25 if your lvl 100 don’t you want to target higher NM or does it not matter? I My highest was a 41 but I’m also level 80 the siphoning strike being a lucky hit really slows down run speed.
I just got my 5th ancestral unique in low NM as we speak. I don’t think it matters, I’ve found 800+ uniques in low NMs. Might as well do low ones, since the high one use a lot of powder, take more time and come with unplayable affixes. It’s fun to ignore the lightstorm when it only removes 2% of your life.
Be prepared for the boredom though.
How are the rolls on the unique
I sell them so fast I don’t really look at it anymore. The last one was a medium roll I think. So nothing different in my experience.
I wouldn’t try and stress out about target farming. Just run nmd with at least level 85 mobs over and over until your eyes bleed. Quickest way. You might even get a Uber unique in the next couple years if you’re lucky
I have nothing else to do, I’m lv100, my glyphs are done, only season objective left is Lilith and I need the dagger for my lilith build.

I feel your pain. I played yesterday with my level 41 friend and it was actually fun rushing him through the capstones. But he got bored and said this is just Diablo immortal for pc and console and logged off 
what is your Lilith build if you don’t mind me asking?
Nothing original, standard poison TB stagger build
My last dagger drop was at level 74. Currently level 91 and just grinding out NM sigils +10-11 over my level to get the most exp possible. Oh ya crazy to not see a dagger for 17 levels, but I’m not trying to target farm either.
On the past most of my uniques dropped in helltide events or treasure goblins. I haven’t seen a single unique dungeon reward in a very long time either, No bows, amulets, rings, nothing. Just a couple of class unique pants also from treasure goblins the past 7 or 8 levels (60+ runs)
Well damn, I got 2 uniques in a row right now, bow and amulet.
PS: make it 4.
