We need a way to target farm for uniques. It doesn’t have to be easy but players should be able to progress and move toward obtaining class uniques without solely relying on RNG.
Solution:
Add relevance to The Butcher, Tree of Whispers Chaos boxes, Loot Goblins and World bosses by adding a currency drop that can be used at a “Unique” vendor. The cost for said uniques can be significant but it would give hope to hopeless few that have played for hours(days) without ever finding their class defining unique.
I play a 100 Sorc and it just feels bad that after 16+ days of gameplay, farming nightmare Blind Burrows and Aldurwood 50+'s with magic find that i still haven’t found a Raiment of the Infinite. I had a friend roll a Sorc and he found one by level 76 in the same dungeon run i was helping him through…
Any time i am on and a world boss spawns I go = Vendor Trash
Loot Goblin encounter = Vendor Trash
Butcher = Vendor Trash
I don’t even bother with Tree of Whispers but when i complete it by just playing the game = Vendor Trash
Gate this behind level 100 or level 90 or level 80 or have it in at the beginning; it doesn’t matter. Just add it in already.
Keep in mind that as more uniques are added, the greater pool of uniques will become watered down making it even more difficult to find any “build” defining uniques players may want.
TLDR: Add relevance to your “end-game” content by adding a currency to said content that can be spent at a “unique” vendor so players can target farm their uniques if they aren’t lucky enough to have them drop.

Something is definitely wrong with the Tree of Whispers rewards and the obols chest box rewards. It seems like those things stopped scaling after WT3 or something. They never give you anything good.

Target farming + increase uber rare drop rate by a lot. If not, allow trading.

D4 has target farming. There is even a tool for it, just remove the spaces below.

I’m pretty sure any slot specific item drop doesn’t allow unique drops anyway. Not since the Shako helltide debacle

Only if you could gamble, helltide chest farm for uniques… wouldn’t that be amazing. Just imagine…
Tell me exactly where to farm for Grandfather or Shako. Yea, I didn’t think so. Don’t cared for the rest of the useless unique in-game.
there is no such thing as target farming in diablo 4, i was also doing Aldurwood run, after 50 runs ,majority of runs i ended up with 1-3 chest loot, so, loot table ragarding mosters family is a myth.
Some people have 5 raiment or 5 tempest when they reach level 100, and some people have 0 specific uniques
loot table and rng is complete broken in this game
all uniques are random drops now, so target farming them does nothing all uniques will have the same roll chance on any given drop now, minus ultra rares that you just wont get so they dont matter anyway. that was the easiest fix for blizzard to implement so of course they went that route
wish it was more like D2 farming like killing andy on hell in act 1 for SoJ
Stratacaster better play the guitar as we all wont live long enough to find a shako.
I wonder why as they had the numbers of droprates from d2 rares like high runes but they thought : lets add some zeros so after 400 millions of playtime hours we drop 2 of them.
Pretty much. With those odds, their existence is nominal at best. I don’t get why they even bothered to make a new Uber for Season 1. Unless they make a coding mistake, none of us are ever seeing one.
Okay, so these are the maps to go to eh?
Is it safe to assume you can confirm each of these maps work like you say? You found shakos and grand fathers in each of these right?
Also, since these are better than the others, what’s the ratio of shako you got in say, gullrahn slums in comparison to say, blind burrows?
was it a 2:1 ratio? 3:1?
Or is it what i think it is, 0:0 because you’ve got 0 of both items you listed
Its amazing that something that was the foundation of long term D2 play, which was targeted farming for leggos you knew only were found on that boss…and ignore it in D3 and D4. Like that was D2s content loop. It was so basic and it worked somehow. Its like removing questing from wow. Like how do you not recognize that as something people liked in D2? Crazy…
Now its just go aimlessly farm helltides and NM any maybe you get what you want.
I miss boss farming, not going to lie.
What ya need is like 100 runewords 300 uniques and 50 sets all ranges of lvls
same
i was heavily disappointed when i got 2 crappy legendaries from lilith… and then you get zero loot on subsequent kills… like what?
This works, experienced it personally.

“We need target farming for uniques” - we need target farming in general, not only for uniques

Its not a myth the devs literally told us this. Use the site switch up dungeons theres always more than one I’ve never found Aldurwood good for legendarys compared to other dungeons.
