Actually, I do think I'm entitled to more than a 1 chaos unique in what is now 8+ hours when running the most rarity I've ever seen used. I do not see the point of using rarity if my chances are the same of a level 1 guy running in twilight strand.

Obviously your chances are not the same as a level 1 guy running in twilight strand...

But increased chance does not mean you are entitled to always find a unique every X number of hours. You are taking a random occurrence and making it more likely to occur, but it is still random.

i farm cruel merveil with 232%iir and 46%iiq and get about 1 unique per hour on average (i documented 40 hours)

i have started to try a build that allows me 332%iir and 46%iiq in normal merveil to see if the added 100% iir increases drop rate of uniques.

You're only focusing on the fact that I'm giving you X hours. I've been on this for days now. the X hours is just to provide a sample since if I didn't do that alot of people here will burn me for it.

I farm cruel merveil/brutus, city of sarn (merci), and docks(merci) with my 76 Templar that has 118 IIQ and 240 IIR or 280 IIR with repear's pursuits for rare/uniques. You don't need more IIR than ~200 with ~100 IIQ. I probably get about 1 uniques each hour I farm (average). Sometimes I get more or less depending on the RNG.

I can farm maps or lunaris lvl 3 with him, but it is just too slow. City of sarn is the fastest place I can farm with leap slam and is nice with perpetus.

Update: 4 hours later, 0 uniques. Areas farmed: Lunaris Level 3 and Docks

How fast can you kill the mobs in lunaris 3 and the docks? Can you clear it really quick? Are you 1 shotting mobs? 2 shotting? etc...

It's pretty odd you ain't getting uniques with the IIQ/IIR you have.
