Blizzard has released the official patch notes for Patch 1.3.2 in Season 3 of Diablo 4. Among other things, the drop rate for Uber Uniques is being adjusted, and a new system integrated that will allow you to craft them yourself soon.
This is included in the patch notes:
- Patch 1.3.2 is coming on February 13 and specifically addresses the Uber Uniques in Diablo 4. The drop rate outside of Duriel has been adjusted, where you can farm them specifically.
- Additionally, the patch will introduce “Uber Unique Crafting” in Diablo 4. This means you can craft them yourself using a new resource – provided you’ve collected the desired items.
- Furthermore, adjustments will be made to the “Lunar Awakening” event along with numerous bug fixes in the game.
On February 1, community manager Adam Fletcher warned players to definitely keep their Uber Uniques – even if they don’t “need” them. The patch notes now provide the answer to what that specifically meant.
Crafting Uber Uniques
Why should you keep the Uber Uniques? In the patch notes for 1.3.2, the developers explain that they want to give players more freedom regarding desired Uber Uniques. They have taken the feedback that duplicate or unwanted drops of the Uber Uniques diminish the feeling of accomplishment.
With the upcoming patch, there will be a new system for the Uber Uniques. You can collect Uber Uniques to receive a new resource called “Magnificent Sparks.” These can be used to “transmute” into an Uber Unique at the alchemist. Additionally, with patch 1.3.2, the chance that Uber Uniques drop outside of Duriel runs will be increased.
You can find out more about the new system here.
Aside from the changes to the “Uber Unique” system, there will be some bug fixes. Below you will find the complete patch notes in German. You can also view them on the official Blizzard website.
Patch 1.3.2 – Complete Patch Notes
As part of the patch coming on February 13, the “Cursed Shrine” event will be adjusted. This change will ensure that the shrine’s bonus takes effect immediately and not only after the completion of the event.

Patch 1.3.2 is coming on February 13 – originally, the leaderboards in Diablo 4 were also supposed to launch at that time. However, after a date for the feature was announced, the developers backtracked, and so far there is no new information regarding this endgame feature.
Some players seem disappointed as they see the leaderboards and the associated dungeon as a welcome change for the endgame: Diablo 4: Players are waiting for a feature that is supposed to make the endgame more fun, but Blizzard is delaying the release.
