Patch 1.3.2 simply dropped in Diablo 4 which gave us lots of bug fixes and an adjustment to the Cursed Shrine occasions, however the meat and potatoes of this replace lie with the newly carried out Uber Distinctive crafting system. Yeah, that’s proper; we are able to now “target-farm” Uber Uniqes. 

It feels like a win on paper, basically giving us devoted grinders a assured Uber Distinctive after a sure variety of runs. It’s, however there’s nonetheless an enormous asterisk to this technique launched in 1.3.2. 

To shortly run down how this technique works: now you can salvage Uber Distinctive gadgets to obtain new supplies referred to as Resplendent Sparks. You’ll solely obtain considered one of these per Uber Distinctive dismantled. After you have 5 Resplendent Sparks and 50,000,000 Gold, you go to an Alchemist at a Waypoint to transmute them into an Uber Distinctive of your selection.

So it is a fairly nifty pity system the place we are able to additionally sink our tens of millions of Gold so it’ll have some use. The issue isn’t the steep value of Gold in any respect. Endgame gamers are sitting fairly on a whole lot of tens of millions of the forex.

The issue is that Uber Uniques are nonetheless extraordinarily uncommon. Drop charges for this stuff have reportedly been elevated all over the place besides towards Uber Duriel. Up to now, I’ve been operating Tier 70+ Nightmare Dungeons, Helltides, Legion Occasions, and World Bosses with no Uber Uniques for hours. I’ve gotten a handful of Legendary Uniques, however these don’t rely towards this new system.

Diablo 4 gamers have taken to the sport’s subreddit to air out their grievances relating to this new characteristic. It virtually looks like there is no such thing as a distinction or it appears pointless to attempt doing this. You would possibly as nicely simply hold farming Duriel or going into pressured group runs as that also has increased Uber Distinctive drop charges. 

The one problem with this now lies in one other downside that solo gamers face. This crafting system looks like the pity system we wanted so we don’t have to make use of LFG instruments to seek out teams and undergo the effort of speaking with randoms. 

Farming the supplies wanted to summon Duriel is such a drag. It’s lots of work simply to have a small likelihood to get an merchandise that we wish. Even then, within the fortunate occasion that we do get an Uber Distinctive, we’ve to undergo all of the steps once more.

It could really feel extra worthwhile if there was a system that assured an Uber Distinctive drop after a sure variety of runs so that there’s some form of finish to our lengthy grind. It’s referred to as “goal farming” within the patch notes, nevertheless it all simply looks like nothing’s modified.
