I would say that the issue doesn't lie within the spawn rate of any single unique strongbox, but rather within the catastrophically low amount of unique strongboxes that can spawn. Bring the amount of strongboxes up to fifty, then you will get a decent chance of spawning a unique strongbox.

That is not how it works. Same as with unique drops, the rarity of the box is rolled once, then if unique is selected then a unique box is rolled amongst the available ones.

I will believe they exist when I get one on my own zone/map. I still don't know what kind of black magic the generous soul that shared one with me used to get his box drop on the game.

Cheers bex.

nothing doubled is still nothing, as many have said here already.

i managed to get one to spawn in all of prophecy (ashes of the condemned), which was both a nightmare to kill quad-ghosted rare mobs, and dropped literally nothing beyond trash whites and blues.

I wasn't even mad at the rng, i was just disappointed that it's the norm with anything advertising good drops.

Meh waste of time. there so rare 90% of the community has never seen one.

How about you quadruple it, and then quadruple it again, because considering all the hours I've put in, I can tell you from my own experience that the spawn rate of these is less than 1 per 200 hours played.

i have 1600 hours played, never seen a single one...

So the rate goes from 1 in a googleplex to 2 in a googleplex chance to spawn. YAAWWWNNNN!!!!

Sorry, unique strong box spawn rate has sucked forever.

Drop rates are the only thing stopping this game from reaching a bigger player base.

I got several non-prophecy strongboxes during the Prophecy league.. I got a Kaom's box in act 3 normal..
