I just started farming Azmodan in the open world spawn location, and I gotta say I love the fact that mythics are so much more accessible now. I feel like it’s in the sweet spot. Having GA’s on them and not always the exact affix you want to be GA keeps me hunting for the same mythic, so I like that it’s not just “hey, it dropped once, now I have it and don’t have to keep farming for it.”
I thought crafting mythics was nice, and getting a random one from the blacksmith was ok, but I like farming bosses for them, (I would love doing even more challenging activities for them, wink wink, cough cough, war plans, cough cough). So I like the adjustment and kind of opening it up a bit more for easier access to mythics.
Another thing I’ll say is that even when I get a mythic I don’t need, the fact that I found a mythic incentivizes me to make a build with it, so it drives home a little more need for end game farming to complete other builds.
This was definitely something I thought the game was lacking, and hopefully the devs can expand on it. Maybe have more than 1 boss spawn? Double the loot. Let’s GET WILD!
I wouldn’t get used to it. They absolutely boosted access to them because of sanctification. Knowing people would have to sanctify hundreds to get what they want. Next season it’ll be back to how it was before.
PTR had decent drop rates for S12 and prankster sigils were still a thing. I got around 10 of them doing the no boost thing to P240 (ish) with a prankster. I should also note that they were all 0 GA which I am hoping is a bug (and it gets fixed).
Of course the rates could change for the actual season.
Am I the only one who has done countless hours of farming on my paladin and have yet to find one mythic? I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong. Only way I’ve gotten them is through crafting so far.
Took me a long time before they started dropping. Once they did they just started raining out of the sky. I have about 10 in my bags and about a dozen sparks. That’s not counting what I’m wearing and what my alts are wearing. Once you get to 4 on the world boss seasonal power you’ll start getting the mythic under city tribute that’s the best source.
The mythic drop rates and everything important is just too high. They need to reduce all that. No clue what the drop rates are in D2R, but it seems better than the loot rain lunacy we’ve got going on in D4.
You almost have to go out of your way to avoid Mythics. I got 7 before P200, and haven’t done a single Prankster Dungeon. I did get a Mythic Goblin in a Breach though.
Farm legion events and world boss events. Then take your boss keys and farm boss lairs. Save up your corrupted essence (corrupted tongue, horn, etc) as you go. Once you have a good bit of corrupted essence, go to where Azmodan can be spawned in the open world. Farm Azmodan, open the 3 chests there.
Use Mythic tributes in Undercity.
I also recommend farming Azmodan and other world bosses to increase your Divine Gifts. The higher those are, the better the rewards, including nightmare dungeon sigils that can come with the Prankster Mythic affix on them.
Getting Mythics, I think, is really just based on how much you play. You have to invest time into it. The higher your build goes, the more likely you are to find a mythic. That’s just my opinion though, and my experience. Rarely do I find a mythic having only barely played a season.
