Does the formosus boots need a specific level?

i’ve been farming him so many times and all he drops is the damn neck. does the boots require a specific level+ to drop? im around lvl 80

No, they just have a 15% chance to drop compared to the 85% for the amulet.

Have anyone gotten it this patch? wonder if something has changed…

i’ve seriously farmed this guy more times than i can count and its that stupid necklace everytime

guess I was lucky, I thought it was linked to the pathway you took, blood pack gave me boots first two times through and frost gave me amulet then on the 4th time though that pattern broke.

wait how do u take a specific pathway? by always choosing left or right?

in some quest echoes of some timelines (it differs, sometimes in second, sometimes in third after defeating the boss) you can choose which timeline gets unlocked after completing the curent timeline. those decisions are called ‘paths’.

oh so just to clarify - im doing the blood frost death monolith (which says its lvl 70)
when i clear the 2nd? quest , the goat guy gives me an option to unlock lvl 80 timeline or something. i think theres 2 goat guys on that map i usually go for the closest one.

does it matter what i choose? also this is the right monolith right? becuase i hear ppl say that it drops from the lvl 75 monolith, but this monolith is displayed as lvl 70

unless theres another monolith with formosus as the last boss?

its the right monolith you are correct as I said I was lucky enough to get the boots first 2 times through.

afaik the paths you take have no influence at loottables.

tried the 75 timeline… another run another neck. i have no words.

the fact that these two items are required to make a mage viable and they are so impossibly hard to farm…

I’ve had several boots while running the monolith to get a Eulogy of blood.

i guess im just the unluckiest person in the world then.

i mean seriously tho, making build enabling items so ridiculously hard to farm when we are still in SP mode only is kind of lol. they even purposely made exanguonous not gamblable this patch.

because why let people test out builds when its beta right?

If you play a build, that requires specific items, you should plan accordingly and farm them either on another chracter (if you play normal and can share loot), or adapt the build until you get all mandatory items.

That’s how these things work in aRPG.

These items are not needed to make a “viable” build.

EDIT:

That’s the point of chase items, make them rare.
The fact that one of 3 items that give this kind of effect is targetfarmable is totally fine.
The 2nd one is gambleable and just the third one is totally random drop.

Beta testing does entail the whole package of exp curve to loot tables.

Exsanguinous is not gambleable since many patches, when they introduced the class specific body armours and helmets.

just turn on some music and relax, you will also find other gear during you run the timeline over and over again until it drops.
atm i’m farming empowerd reign of dragons for a better rolled CSA blessing. i stopped counting how often i did this timeline since the new patch. it didn’t get rolled often and when i get it, it’s a lower roll than i have currently.
In these games at some point its always about grinding. i remember grim dawn making runs for a specific MI that only dropped from one dunguen miniboss for weeks until it dropped with the right Affixes and acceptable rolls.

hello. i had a really hard time also getting the boots to drop.
i reran abomination till i got the increased unqiue drop blessing and i got the boots the next time i kill formosus hope that helps you
