Someone wanna inform of why Brightbeak is 20c+

I got one unique on my Warbands Marauder until A3M, that Harmony amulet for Hargan. Seems like leveling items start to drop in maps.

What better place to find them, right? You can gift them to that low level witch you've had your eye on.

Yeah, 20c is a bit much even for a great leveling item. This is probably just a weird backlash to the rarity reshuffle.

Oddly enough, I've found more uniques in Warbands just fumbling through normal on several chars than I've found in any other expansion league, probably for the duration. Fourteen in about three days, including two Crests of Perandus. RNG or luck or whatever. Just an observation.

I think I saw somewhere in the patch notes for 2.0 that the unique item droprates were increased. Or maybe I am mistaking it with the higher chances of finding unique strongboxes.

Yes, uniques drop a lot, and they are all of the useless variety. I always got some pretty sweet uniques in previous leagues, in this one - nada.

So, they might have buffed useless unique drop rate, but the good ones seem to be almost nonexistent.

Thank god they (allegedly) duped all those rathpiths and lightning coils.

The overall chance of getting a unique item was increased: a higher proportion of all drops will now be uniques vs. white/blue/yellow.

However, a lot of uniques had their particular "tier" changed; do remember that "unique" is a color/grade that has four invisible/hidden rarity tiers within it; this is why, say, you will find more Redbeaks and Lifesprigs than Shav's or Mjölners even in a really high-level map.

I don't know of many/any uniques that were made LOWER tier, just those made HIGHER: Brightbeak was one, and another, (to my chagrin) was Doomsower. Granted, in the latter it made sense; it's a very endgame-viable weapon, and was kind of a joke that within a week of its release before it was down to 1 alch on Standard.

There are so many new leveling unique weapons, why would anyone pay 20c on a brightbeak? Makes no sense to me, especially on standard...so many there already,

Seriously? And I already recycled tons of brightbeaks. ***Ragequit sequence initiated***

Still exellent leapslam jet when paired with 3G eclipse

for the same reason people use leap slam or whirling blades over walking fast.


due to how leap slam in particular works the large attack speed increase on bright beak creates a notable increase in leap speed even for people with no attack speed at all.

Well I just sold one for 22c

So what the fuck ever; I still think it's stupid.
