Just woundering, is there an efficient way to farm low level uniques with leg potential?
Feels kind of akward and annoying to run 100s of Echoes (with corruption) for a lvl 23 unique having leg. potential.
Escpecially if there is a pool of 20 other different unqiues of same item type that can drop…
If legenfary craft is a fail I have to run again a huge amount of echos for same low lvl item.
I understand this for rare/very rare uniques, but for common/uncommon?
Why no enable low level uniques at gambler again…
Get drop rate blessing for the item type
Get unique drop rate blessing
Farm area level 100(empowered MoF) of the timeline that has the specific unique/Set Echo Rewards for the item type
Explore echoes as far away from the starting point (higher chance for unique echo rewards)
Farming LP uniques can be a pain, if you’re unlucky. Even the common ones often take tens or even hundreds of hours to drop with LP, even if you farm them efficiently. I hope upcoming guild systems will solve that in the future, but for now it is what it is.
I agree with the previous reply, here are some more tips.
General advice is to rush monolith objective, and don’t spend much time killing monsters. Sounds silly, but that’s the optimal strategy. This will hopefully be addressed in the future patches. You can try to search for more complex mono farming strategies on youtube, once you reach your highest comfortable corruption level.
Low level requirement uniques often can have more LP, but only if they drop on higher area levels.
It is true that there are more possible base types to drop on higher area levels. But empowered monos have special rewards, that boost drop rate of specific item type uniques.
Corruption also provides bonus to item rarity, so more unique drops overall.
Unempowered monos have a maximum possible corruption of 50 or 100, I don’t remember exactly, but it’s too low. Find a balance where you don’t die often and don’t slow down too much.
There are also dungeons, but I’m not sure how profitable they are in terms of LP uniques.
Don’t forget to use runes of research from time to time.
Depending on how much LP you want to have this is a exaggeration.
With effecient farming you can easily get desired uniques to drop 1-2 per 1-2hours. (At least the common/low level ones that OP wants).
There are some low level uniques that still have very low LP chance, but that is another story.
If OP wants common uniques I would disagree that this is the best strategy.
With both blessings for item type and unique drop rate you wil lget the vast majority of unique drops as random drops from mobs in the echoes.
Depending on the pool of uniques from the specific unique/set echo rewards it might be even better to just farm random drops, rather than echo rewards.
50 is teh corruption cap for normal.
It is also noteworthy that corruption does increase the area level, so if you get 50 corruption in one of the lvl 90 timelines you can get area level 98 I think, which is a lot easier than empowred still.
Yes, that is a really good advice. Dying will take away the echo rewards, which is especially tragic, if its a desired specific unique/set reward.
Soulfire Bastion is a great source of Uniques if the door modifier has a item type that is for your unique. (Gambler has at least X of item type Y)
You mean Rune of Ascendence
Speaking of RoR, always look out for the new Lost Cache’s of the Runesmith. They seem to always drop at least one Rune of Ascendance, sometimes even 2.
Yeah, I wonder if this is going to get adjusted. I went from 22 Runes of Ascendance to 67 since 0.9.2 dropped. And I’ve only played one character, my Runemaster since trying to play around and create a build so I’m not even yet at 200 corruption in monos.
EDIT: Although, maybe this is one of the ways their finessing as they add more and more uniques and the pool gets deeper.
Respectfully, this “can” take a much longer time because it’s all RNG. I know that I have farmed extensively for certain uniques and gotten frustrated because of not getting even one with 1 LP.
I farmed Death Rattle and for the love of me I just couldn’t get one with LP. I did finally get one but it took a ridiculous amount of farming. There were other low level ones but this was the worst.
While I agree that RNG is RNG, you can still make up for most of that if you are farming really efficiently and are persistent.
So if you don’t look at it with like 5-10 hours of farming but actually farming 20-30 hours RNG pretty much evens out for the most part. On more rare uniques or uniques with low LP the time it takes for RNG to even out is a lot higher obviously.
Also your example was a really bad one, because even though Death Rattle is a “Low Level” unique its chance for LP is quite low.
One of the best example that I like to take for this kind of discussion is Titan Heart, its quite a common unique, with mediocre LP chance.
It is a bit less common and less farmable than Death Rattle, but has higher LP chance.
Its so farmable that you easily run out of Exalted Bases if you slam it on 2LP ones. (I farmed several ones for slamming Mana on Harvest + % Health on it)
No you cant. You are only bringing this because you like the way it is. But it comes a time that it becomes depressing looking for something with LP.
It’s a flawed system , but maybe it is the way it has to be for future upgrades or for future adjustments. I know I got tired😴.
And I don’t care for the moment, I had my share of everything. I’m just here because I wanted to bring some reality for OP.
Another reality: rune of ascendance is useless for target farming anything with decent LP.
Yeah, I know DR is a harder one to get LP on but it was the only one that I could remember the specifics on the farming. It was not the only one, just the harder one.
I’ve tried with Aurelis, Volcanus, and Battlemage’s Endeavour also. I have no Volcanus with any LP, and haven’t seen a single BE with LP either, and its LP level is 30.
I just can’t remember how many hours I’ve spent on those, I gave up a while ago and it’s been a while since I’ve actually gotten to play more than an hour.
Seems like we have one major and one moderate disagreement here.
The major one:
I think the Legendary Crafting is the single best innovative and well thought out system that has been brought into the entire genre.
It keeps uniques across all rarities and power levels relevant while provide chase targets across a broad spectrum of self-imposable rarities.
Only if you have unrealistic expectations.
There are very few instances of uniques that absolutely need specific legendary affixes to become usable.
So for the most part it’s just part of min maxing and nothing build enabling.
The moderate disagreement:
First off this is not a “reality” at most this is your own experience.
Pre 092 I would have agreed that RoR is bad for LP target farming.
But with the introduction of Runesmith caches the amount of RoR’s has increased by a factor of 2x-3x
While I understand the feeling, it does bring a question: what are you farming your unique for?
Because running 100s of echoes is pretty much what the game is about anyway…
