Unique Boss drop And new unique core drop
|
I decided to farm a lot of Elder guardian for the experience and a friend of mine did some simulacrum too and we came to the conclusion that any unique that were drop restricted to those content doesn't have any more chance to drop there than in the rest of the game.
That mean target farming of those unique is now not possible and those content especially the Elder/Shaper guardian have now not a single interested to farm for gear they are just a steps onto the Shaper/elder fight and nothing more and that is really sad. It feel like the unique tied to them have lost any kind of identity (and they really were tied to their respective boss the shaper guardian unique LITERALLY are the weapon they wield) and this is pretty bad imo. I think this change should be reverted next league it's probably the worse regarding loot table this league had. To vanquish without perils is to triumph without glory.

Nah youre completely right, in a sense loot tables got destroyed in order to please whiners.
Ive heard similar from a lot of people farming high tier content, for example Minotaur and such. Theres no more guaranteed unique drops from these bosses because they decided to globalize the loot, which is pretty questionable. So in a sense they did what they said by making thing easier to access but at the same time ruined a lot of end game, especially by making them not guaranteed off the bosses theyre supposed to drop off of. I really dont like how theres no chase uniques as is, even worse theres really no reason to step foot into a lot of the content because of those changes. The global change to lets say, headhunter was a good change. This is because they made it so you can get it without targeting and wasting currency on Nemesis mod, theres still tons of ways to get it but it definitely is a good change and that fact doesnt make Nemesis worse because Nemesis is the one of the best maps you can get right now for currency farming. Harvest sucks! But look at my decked out gear two weeks in!

" Yes i have no problem with the league specific going core because it was just a matter of map device mod before. But the drop restricted unique that's another topic. that mean every "special" content like elder/shaper guardian , simulacum / blighted map etc have no face value anymore than just "currency shower" and it's pretty sad To vanquish without perils is to triumph without glory.

Yup, agreed. There is no reason to fight a Full juiced Minotaur in order to have better chance to pry that Brain Rattler from his fingers.
As a compromise, I would be fine if killing a certain Boss will give you higher chance / granted drop of 1 of its (previous) exclusive unique. For example, killing a Phoenix Guardian will give higher chance for OR at least one between Razor of the Seventh Sun or Eye of Innocence. Mind that I loved indeed the collateral effect to finally allow every Average Joe to drop Rigwald's uniques - perhaps even dare to make a build around them nowadays. EDIT: Wait, even Blight encounter exclusive and Simulacrum Uniques can be obtained from anything in game now? After what they did to Rigwald, I can't trust anything else I knew and loved about drop tables. Last edited by Maxtrux#0762 on May 10, 2021, 9:42:46 AM

The boss never have guaranteed drop. It only have a chance to drop exclusive unique which most of Shaper Guardian drop are 1c anyway. For Elder Guardian , Yoke of Suffering price go up and down , while Vulconus only due to recent meta build
It changed so that it may be chanced i think.... This is the start of forum signature: I am not a GGG employee. About the username: Did you know Kowloon Gundam is made in Neo Hong Kong?

"Yeah thats what i mostly meant to say. When i said guaranteed drop i meant by comparison of it going global. You knew you could go there, farm it and get it, while it wasnt 100% guaranteed it was guaranteed within that specific area overall. Now those drop tables dont matter as theyre global meaning the chance to drop has been significantly decreased. Harvest sucks! But look at my decked out gear two weeks in!

Yeah I didn't like this change either. Its nice that league-specific uniques are able to drop anywhere, but they should have kept the boss drops tied to the bosses themselves.

What we know of the "drop restricted unique" that have gone core (and shouldn't have or atleast farming their respective content the best way by far to get them to still allow target farming) are :
Conqueror Uniques Shaper guardian Uniques Elder Guardian uniques Legion boss unique outside of timeless jewel Blighted map uniques Simulacrum uniques outside of voices/megalomaniac To vanquish without perils is to triumph without glory.
