I’m playing SSF btw

I need a stupid T4 unique that I haven’t managed to drop (I did drop the ONLY OTHER UNIQUE WITH THE SAME BASE THANK YOU GGG -well at least this means that I can guarantee the one I need if I get an Ancient orb, right?- edit: no, Ancient Orb keeps class and ignores base, so I can vendor the one I dropped OK) or chance.

I missed a few years of PoE, so reading around it seems like trying Gwennen gambling is (or was) a good way to farm T1-T0, so I guess it should work for lower tiers as well? But is there a better way that you can suggest?

I’m at my wits’ end, since I’m level 87 and I haven’t managed to get it yet, absolutely my fault I know, but if I can’t get it “soon” I will probably migrate to Trade league and buy it for 3c lol

    Given that it’s a low tier unique, your best bet may just be magic find (MF), or anything else that drops generic uniques (heist chests, blight chests, etc.). Boost your own item rarity with items and/or item rarity support, juice the heck out of a lower tier map (make sure it meets your unique minimum level), and dump in a bunch of rare/unique monsters. You can also combo your titanic and anarchy scarabs with anarchy on the map device.

    Chancing is something like 1/300 to get a T4 unique, but I think it’s kinda fun. Make sure your white base shows up on your filter, carry a stack of chance orbs, and just grab->chance->drop when you run across one.

    If you see your item base in Gwennen, go for it, but I don’t think it’s worth trying to farm expedition.

      I’m already wearing IIR items, up to 90% now, but I had forgotten about Item Rarity Support, I guess I can add it to my main skill! Thanks!

      Yeah, getting the bases is not an issue, they do drop kind of regularly and I’ve been chancing them all.

      Where do I see the unique’s minimum level? Is it the required level to use it? If it is, then I’m good even in T1 maps lol

      I will keep trying chancing as well, you never know

        had great success with lightlys t9 exile farming srtat if your build can handle it. I think my build is pretty decent but I couldn’t really fit iir support in…

          Ended up moving to Trade league, I was level 87 farming T1-3s with absolutely no luck, I was around 100h spent in maps. Since I dropped two items that would total 6 divines and that were no use to my build, I gave up farming, migrated, and sold both lol
