Alright folks, let me break down how I finally got my Necro rocking those sweet Uniques. It was a grind, let me tell you.
Starting Out Completely Wrong
First off, I gotta admit, I went in totally blind. I was just running random Nightmare Dungeons like a headless chicken, hoping something cool would drop. Yeah, big mistake. Hours and hours wasted, just getting regular rares and legendaries I didn’t need. Felt pretty stupid, honestly. My stash was overflowing with junk.
Figuring Out Where The Heck They Drop
After hitting a solid wall of nothingness, I stopped. Needed to do some digging. Asked around on forums, watched a few vids, read some rants (helpful ones!). Finally clicked: Specific bosses and Helltide events are where it’s at. Not just any dungeon chuckles out Uniques. Lesson learned: don’t ignore the community chatter.
Targeting Helltides Like My Life Depended On It
Okay, plan was simple now: hit every single Helltide event popping up. Focused like crazy on farming those Cinders. 175 of those bad boys nets you one Tortured Gift of Mysteries chest. That became my holy grail. Ran around like a madman collecting every damn Cinder I saw, avoiding pointless fights. Priority one: Get to 175, open chest. Rinse and repeat every hour. Did I mention Helltides are intense?
Hunting Down Those Key Bosses
Heard whispers about certain bosses being Unique hotspots. Put two and two together: Varshan and Grigoire kept popping up in those Necro Unique drop lists. Sounded promising, so I made them my new best friends. Grinded out the materials to summon them repeatedly. Echo of Varshan runs became my daily cardio. Still no Bone Spear helm dropping, mind you, but persistence is key.
The Sweet, Sweet Victory Moment
Kept at this routine religiously: Helltide, boss, Helltide, boss. Felt robotic after a while. Then bam! During a Helltide run, popped open my umpteenth Mystery Chest… and there it was. Deathless Visage. Oh man, the relief! A few runs later, during a Varshan massacre, the Black River scythe finally decided to grace me with its presence. Elation doesn’t even cover it.
What Actually Worked For Me
- Helltide Farming Focus: Mystery Chests are prime time. Forget the smaller chests, just target the big 175-Cinder ones constantly.
- Boss Blitz: Grinding Varshan and Grigoire specifically pays off more than random dungeons ever did.
- Patience Mode: Seriously, don’t expect instant results. Prepare for multiple Helltides and dozens of boss kills. It tests your sanity.
- Ignore World Boss FOMO: Saw lots chasing World Bosses for loot. Wasted a ton of time waiting and got diddly squat. Stick to the plan.
That’s it. No magic trick, just focused grinding based on what others found worked and sticking to it relentlessly. Good luck out there!
