Diablo 4: How to Farm Uniques

Diablo 4 , Game Guides
Diablo 4's character progression system really picks up once you beat the game and increase your World Tier. This unlocks a variety of new features, including new tiers of item rarity. If you think Legendary loot was powerful, you're probably going to want to stick around to get your first Unique item.
Diablo 4: Item Rarities Explained
There are 5 rarities of equipment in Diablo 4. However, you can only find items in the highest rarity once you beat the game, finish the first Capstone Dungeon, and change into World Tier 3. These are the item rarities and what you can expect from them.
| Item Rarity (Color) | Equipment Stats |
| Common (white) | No bonuses |
| Magic (blue) | 1-2 bonuses, chance of Gem sockets |
| Rare (yellow) | 3-4 bonuses, chance of Gem sockets |
| Legendary (orange) | 4 random bonuses, Legendary imprint, chance of Gem sockets |
| Unique (gold) | 4 fixed bonuses, Unique imprint, guaranteed Gem sockets |
Additionally, all rarity tiers have Sacred and Ancestral versions. You can get Sacred items in World Tier 3 while Ancestral items are exclusive to World Tier 4. Items with this classification are more powerful than their base options.
What Are Uber Uniques?
There are Unique items, then there are what Blizzard calls Uber Uniques. They are standout items because of their powerful Aspects, and as the name suggests, they're an incredible rarity. As of this writing, there are only six available Uber Uniques in the game.
They drop from level 85+ enemies only and they always have 820 Item Power.
If you want to maximize your character's potential, you should eye for Unique loot. However, the drop rate for Unique items is so minuscule, that players have actually likened getting one to winning the lottery. There's no tried and true method to getting Unique gear in the game.
However, there are a few tips that might make the job way easier.
Diablo 4: How to Farm Uniques
1. Play On World Tier 4
Challenging yourself is going to be one of the keys to getting better items in Diablo 4. In this case, it means playing in World Tier 4. The enemies might be a lot tougher but the item drop rates are a lot better at these difficulties.
That said, we highly suggest you start farming once you hit at least level 75-80 in the game. At that point, you're already decked out in amazing gear. You're also probably deep into your Paragagon Board by now so going through enemies is way easier.
2. Farm In A Group
Now, you don't get item drop bonuses for farming in a party. However, since you'll be facing difficult enemies, it's way better to get through farming with the help of a party. You're all getting loot drops so there's no possibility of loot hoarding with anyone else.
Aside from the extra firepower, keep in mind that farming in a group gives you XP bonuses as well. You'll be reaching the 100 in no time with the help of a team.
3. Focus On Helltide Events
Unique loot can drop from any enemy. It can be tempting to fight hordes of them inside dungeons but the more practical source of mobs would be in Helltide Events. These events pack a ton of enemies, Elites, and bosses in the overworld.
Completing them successfully also rewards you with Murmuring Obols and Aberrant Cinders. Both can net you some pretty awesome gear as well, so it's well worth the trouble.
4. Run Through Nightmare Dungeons
Nightmare Dungeons have high mob density, as well as high-level Elites. They might be the most difficult challenge in the game but they're also your best chance at getting Unique items.
Additionally, Nightmare Dungeons have a 10% increased chance to give you Ancestral and Sacred items too. If you're getting a Unique item, it may as well be one of these two.
5. Farm Specific Enemies For Certain Gear
One of the best-kept secrets in Diablo 4 is that enemy archetypes drop certain pieces of gear better. This might not mean much but if you're looking for a specific Unique equipment, this will be helpful. For instance, if you’re looking for a 2-handed sword, then focus on killing vampires and spiders. Some dungeons/parts of the map contain these enemy types more than others.
Here's a quick guide on enemies and what loot they'll most likely drop.
| Family Type | Drops | Best Region For Farming |
| 1. Bandits | Daggers, maces | Kehjistan, Dry Steppes |
| 2. Cannibals | Helms, axes | Dry Steppes |
| 3. Cultists | Helms, staves | Hawezar, Kehjistan |
| 4. Demons | Inconclusive | Hawezar, Kehjistan |
| 5. Drowned | Pants, scythes | Fractured Peaks |
| 6. Fallen | Axes, staves, gloves | Fractured Peaks, Kehjistan |
| 7. Ghosts | Bows, wands | Fractured Peaks |
| 8. Goatmen | Axes, staves, totems | Dry Steppes |
| 9. Knights | Chest, shields, swords | Fractured Peaks, Kehjistan |
