After the release of Diablo 4, many players began to look for Ultra-Rare Unique Items they wanted in the game. Especially in the first two weeks of the game's release, this phenomenon is very common, but almost no one finds these items throughout the game, such as Grandfather and Harlequin Crest, these are classic Diablo 4 items.
Blizzard's Response
So this has caused many players to suspect whether these items have been put into the game.Later, some people responded to this suspicion. Their game character level was around 100, and they found the rare Harlequin Crest in the game, which sparked a bigger debate. Do these items exist in the game? When and where will it drop? What is their drop rate? What are these Ultra-Rare Unique Items? Blizzard has stepped in to answer these questions. It turns out that there are actually 6 Uniques in Diablo 4 game.
Lead Class Designer Adam Jackson, addressed these issues on Twitter:
These Diablo 4 Items will drop from enemies above level 85 in the game, so if you want to get these Uniques, you need to find them. You don't have to be level 85 yourself, it's possible to get them just by defeating level 85 enemies, and you can theoretically find them from mid-level Nightmare dungeons.
There are a total of 6 of these Uniques, and drop location is not fixed, so it does not come from a specific Boss or location. Whether you can get these Uniques also depends on the player's own luck.
Uniques List
1. Melted Heart of Selig (Amulet) - Gain 30% Maximum Resource and when you take damage, drain (8 - 3) Resource for every 1% of Life you would have lost instead.
2. Andariel’s Visage (Helm) - Lucky Hit: Has (15 - 20%) chance to trigger a Poison Nova that deals 10,077 Poison damage to enemies in the area over 5 seconds (plus 1.3 - 2% lifesteal )
3. Harlequin Crest (Helm) - Gain (10 - 20)% Damage Reduction and + 4 to all Skills
4. The Grandfather (Two handed sword) - Achieve Critical Strike Damage increase (60 - 100%)
5. Ring of Starless Skies (Ring) - Each consecutive Core skill cast reduces Resource cost of your net Core skill by (8 - 12%) up to a maximum of 40%
6. Doombringer (One handed sword) - Lucky Hit: Up to a (15 - 25%) chance to deal 5,822 Shadow damage to surrounding enemies and reduce their damage by 20% for 5 seconds.
All of Uniques listed above increase the stats of the corresponding item.
Player Concerns About Drop Rates
But here comes the problem, even if the player level of Diablo 4 is higher and the characters are more powerful, the number of these items is too rare. Diablo 4 has millions of players, but only a handful of players have discovered these items.
This makes many players feel unwilling, thinking that this is a guise of Uniques. Players have paid a lot to find Uniques but have not received anything in return. They think that even if their 10 characters have reached level 100, they may not be able to find these Uniques.
Considering the total number of Uniques, frankly speaking, many players are not clear about the power brought by the current Uniques. And whether you can get Uniques also depends on the player's luck, which will also make some players feel uncomfortable. Some players think that the drop rate of Uniques in Diablo 4 is too low.
More Info: Blizzard's Response - Does Each Season Need A New Character In Diablo 4?
There may only be dozens or hundreds of players in the entire game who can get them, so there seems to be no point in pursuing these items, after all, they need to spend a lot of energy. But some people will feel that this kind of exploration of the unknown feels good, but you can guess the scene where he explored for 1000 hours and found nothing.
But I believe that Blizzard will give everyone a satisfactory answer to these questions.
