Feature or bug: no LP on unique rewards

It seems like uniques from monolith rewards always drop without legendary potential (or if they can drop with LP the probability is far lower than for wild drops).

I wonder if this is working as intended or not.

The reason for implementing the special reward system was to make certain unloved monolith attractive to farm yet again. If you cannot get LP on the special rewards I think those monoliths will become unloved once again.

What levels are you running?

Uniques are not guaranteed to drop with LP… but they definitely do - even from reward chests (although rare)… the higher levels you farm, the more likely they will drop with LP… certain Uniques will also only drop with LP depending on the level. See Unique Items

Empowered Monos seem to be the place to be for this… and the Fall of the Outcasts blessing for Unique drops seems to make a noticeable difference.

I have only been running lvl 100 monoliths so far this patch.

What is your char level? Reason I ask is that the Echo of World level where the chests are is based on your character level (if I recall correctly)… Could be something like this causing an issue.

I have only been testing this on levl 100 chars… I think I only have one LP unique from the chest vs about a dozen from normal drops… Now that I think on it, I am not sure if the reward (i.e. not chest) has dropped with LP or not… I will test this specifically - just might take a while…

Just got a LP 1 from a reward (i.e. not chest)… so its definitely working…

Edit: and just got an LP2 from a chest in the Echo of a World… so both options are definitely dropping LPs…

Maybe you are just suffering from vengence of the RNGods…

It’s the crafting thing all over again (ā€œit’s impossible to not fracture an item at 90% chance to succeedā€). Being cognizant of probability is difficult for us pesky meatbags.

Yeah, they drop just not often which is just an RNG thing as @vapourfire mentioned. I’ve dropped them on level 90 monos but have only gotten 3 so far total.

Thanks for clarification.
Have only ran L100 monos with my L100 rogue so far.
I must have done something to pxss of mr RNG. I have yet to see a LP unique from either unique/specific set/unique reward chests or the general mono rewards.
For wild uniques I would guess approx. 1/3 of the drops I have seen so far have LP.

@Llama8 agree with you reg. human perception of probabilities. (I do probabilities for a living btw.) The reason why I brought this up is that I definitively (cognizant deficiencies or not) observed a difference in LP probabilities between wild uniques and reward uniques.

Based on the answers above I conclude that it is working as intended. Then we can always discuss what said probabilities should be.

Without wanting to teach you how to suck eggs, what was your sample size (of both)?

I have seen at least a dozen specific reward chests + some uniques from the general reward.

Let us assume that the real probability for LP uniques were 1 in 3 as I have observed in wild.
Observing 12 uniques without LP would amount to a probability of .8%. Definitely not impossible outcome, but still not highly likely.
And thus I can with a high degree of significance conclude that the probability for uniques from rewards to drop with LP is lower than 1 in 3.
