Farming Uniques (Need guidance from the pros)

Gear: Farming for 5 hours now, all I found was a unique coral amulet.. I really need some guidance here. Am i doing it wrong? currently have 70% quant 451% rarity (with gems) and I truly believe that this is the highest you can ever get when it gets to MF

450% rarity, and you get so few, that you go posting here wondering what you can do?

That pretty much sums up why I have no motivation to play. In fact I went from playing hours a day to logging in for 5 min once a week.

Gimping my dps by stacking rarity and quantity is counter productive, and painfully slow. Then there's the fact that you need BUT TONS to see an effect, which is marginal at best.

I would say that killing speed plays into it as well. My MF gear is woefully low compared to yours, I clock in at about 200% IIR and about 70% IIQ w/ gems, and I'd say I find about 1 unique every 2 hours or so.

I don't think killing speed is an issue for me. its just I'm not seeing anything drop at all.. I know this is not the best thing to farm, but I have clocked 45 merciless Brutus kills in an hour and haven't seen anything, and so I have resorted to docks for the rest of the time and I got the coral amulet in the span of the rest of the time.

I never farm bosses, I just stick to the docks. I can clear the docks in about 8 minutes (which is probably a terrible run haha). I found 5 uniques yesterday within the time span of about 6 hours.

chance at a unique dropping is what? maybe .01? I dont really know. But with 450% IIR

you get a .045 chance


IIR makes a difference for framing uniques but it's not a night and day sort of difference

Does that mean that rarity is an empty function? a haox if you will?

what's so hard to understand about the fact that rarity gear increases your odds of getting a rare item?

Think of it as buying 450 lottery tickets in a powerball rather than just 1 ticket, you still aren't guaranteed anything, you just have better odds.

Well If that is an accurate depiction, then the last thing a person wants to do is stack rarity, since I still have more chance of getting mangled by a polar bear and a regular bear in the same day rather than winning the lottery.

learn the difference between "Increased" and "Added"

k thank you

if you increase something you have (the original chance * the increased chance)=x1
if you add something you have (the original chance + the added chance)=x2
