In the current Diablo 4 Season 5, a ton of new Uniques have been added that can provide you with various power-ups and make your battles easier. In addition, all Uniques have been reworked to make their Affixes more powerful and have more useful statistics.
So how do you farm these powerful Uniques in the game? This guide will introduce you to several relatively simple methods that will allow you to obtain Uniques faster. Furthermore, this guide will also compare it with Mythic Uniques, helping you quickly choose the most suitable items for you.
How To Farm Uniques?
Opening Treasure Chests During Helltide Event
Since Season 4, Helltide has become the easiest way to get Uniques in the game, because you don’t need to sacrifice the rest of the quest progress. In addition, the latest patch has changed the time when Helltide spawns, and it will spawn once every hour, so when you reach World Tier 3 and World Tier 4, Helltide is your first choice for getting Uniques.
But you need to pay attention that these treasure chests in Helltide cannot guarantee that Uniques will be opened every time, so run Helltide as much as possible, so that your chances will increase. In addition to getting Uniques, you can also pick up some materials for summoning bosses during the process of running Helltide, which is very worthwhile.
Defeat Uber Bosses
Another way to collect Uniques quickly is to defeat Uber Bosses. Although summoning Uber Bosses is subject to some material restrictions, Uniques rewarded to you are worth it, especially in World Tier 4, because Uniques here are all high-level and high-strength.
Run Infernal Horde
I believe you have experienced the new end-game mode in Diablo 4 Season 5 - Infernal Horde, in which you can fight forces of hell to collect enough Aether. After you defeat Fell Council, you can take that Aether and redeem it for multiple Legendaries and Uniques.
This may seem like a lot of work, but this method gives you a slightly higher chance of getting Uniques than defeating Uber Bosses or Helltide chests, and they are all higher level. In addition, you can also get some rare weapons and a lot of Diablo 4 Gold while running Infernal Horde.
Run Nightmare Dungeons In WT4
Similarly, running or completing Nightmare Dungeons will give you a chance to get some Uniques, but if you want to get what you want in this method more effectively, you need to upgrade Paragon Glyphs. It should be noted here that running Nightmare Dungeons takes a lot of time, so the best way is to run Nightmare Dungeons and Helltide at the same time. In this way, you will get the highest return from both methods.
From Purveyor Of Curiosities
Since the last few patches, Purveyor of Curiosities has provided you with some Uniques and its regular randomized wares. If you find exploring too much trouble, you can bring your Diablo 4 Gold here to get Unique gear you need.
Farming Specific Enemy Types
For Unique gear, you can also farm specific enemy types. This method can be done while running Nightmare Dungeons, as there are many enemy types in Nightmare Dungeons.
However, it should be noted that this method will be very time-consuming, even if you are running Nightmare Dungeons at the same time. But you can rely on this method to learn some strategies for fighting different bosses, which is something that you can’t do in other ways.
Found In Whisper Caches
Now Tree of Whisper’s Whisper Caches can also provide you with Uniques! Although the chance is low, you shouldn’t ignore it, as it provides you with Uniques of higher levels, numerous crafting items and Diablo 4 Gold, making it a very rare but highly rewarding event.
Differences Between Uniques And Mythic Uniques
Uniques Are High-level Items With Exclusive Effects
Unlike Legendary Items in the game, Uniques are rarer and drop with fixed Aspects and Affixes. These Aspects and Affixes will help you make your build better and make you invincible in battle.
Uniques Drop In Each World Tier With Different Rarity
In the latest game, Uniques can drop in every World Tier. But Uniques in World Tier 1 and 2 will have lower Aspects and Affixes. In World Tier 3, there will be Sacred version with better Aspects and Affixes, and in World Tier 4 there will be the best Ancestral version. You can choose the corresponding World Tier according to Aspects and Affixes you need.
Mythic Uniques Are Super Rare Items With Powerful Effects
Compared to ordinary Uniques, Mythic Uniques are rarer because they have more powerful Aspects and Affixes. But you can get them in the game through target farming. For example, you have a chance to get a Mythic Unique after defeating King of Maggots Duriel.
Currently in Diablo 4, there are only 7 Mythic Uniques: Doombringer, Grandfather, Ahavarion Spear of Lycander, Andariel’s Visage, Harlequin Crest, Ring of Starless Skies, Melted Heart of Selig, which shows how rare it is.
If you have a better way to get uniques, join IGGM Discord and discuss with many players. You will also have a chance to participate in the lottery and win lots of gold and Duriel materials. The results will be officially declared on August 19th.
The above are some farming methods for Uniques in Diablo 4 Season 5, as well as comparisons with Mythic Uniques. I hope you can collect all Uniques on Season 5 as soon as possible, and I wish you a happy game!
