So I chanced an Occulist's Vestment
"You missed the diamond one based on an IRL celebrity :P The Anonymous reference is on GGG, not diamond/eternal supporters (I don't personally like that item much either, but more for the mechanical reference than the flavour text). "I'm pretty confidant that there are two items on that base type because he chose that base type, and we went with it, and an independently-developed GGG unique was also put at that slot (I believe balance was taken into account on Shavs) but I'm not a part of that process, so I can't guarantee that was what happened. Chance orbs do not work like that (any more - they did for a little bit after the tiers of unique rarity were introduced, I believe). They do not have a flat chance to obtain a unique, regardless of how "rare" that unique is supposed to be. If the only unique of a base type is a rarely occurring one, then chances have a low chance to get uniques on that base type. Adding a more common unique to the same type means that chances on that item will have an significantly increased chance to roll uniques (but if they do, the unique is likely to be the more common one). If you've chanced a lot of occult vestments and gotten Infernal Mantles, then if Infernal Mantle didn't exist, those would probably have been rare vestments, not Shavronnes.

"The "fact that it's chance-blocking Shavronne's Wrappings" is not a fact. As I said earlier: " Infernal Mantle being an Occultist's Vestment does not have a significant effect on the number of chances need to get Shavronnes. Just some of the ones that would otherwise have been rares, are Infernal Mantles instead. |
