How well can you really farm loot from the Uber bosses in Diablo 4? A player tried it out. The result is disappointing, but it doesn’t really surprise the community.
Why Andariel specifically?
- Andariel and Duriel are the two endgame bosses where you can best farm the coveted Uber Uniques.
- The possible loot includes the Crown of the Godslayer and Tibault’s Will, two sought-after items, but also some important Uniques for the Spiritborn: Sepazontec and the Staff of Kepeleke, both essential for certain builds.
- To fight Andariel, you must have reached at least Torment 1 and need materials to summon her. In our guide, you will find everything about how to summon and defeat Andariel.
This is the result after 250 runs: A user on Reddit stated that he defeated Andariel “about 250 times.” This cost him 5 billion gold and a considerable amount of time. In the end, he received about 3,000 items, including:
- approximately 60 with a Major Affix
- 7 with 2 Major Affixes
- no items with 3 or 4 Major Affixes
- 3 Mythic Uniques that he can’t use
- one of three runes he needs to craft an Uber Unique himself
All in all, it was a waste of gold and time, writes the user. In the over 570 comments, there are doubts about whether the numbers can be correct: “He didn’t really keep count and tries to make it sound worse than it is.” 3,000 items are unrealistic for the number of kills; it has to be significantly less.
Other users believe that the result could indeed be correct. They themselves have experienced something similar.
“The main problem is that the loot is completely useless”
Another player calculates: The result corresponds to a drop rate of about 2% for Ancestor items. This matches with personal observations. Season 6 is far from being as generous with strong items as previous seasons have been.
The problem, however, is not so much how much loot you actually get, but how good it is. Here the community is in agreement. Even if you get heaps of items, a good portion of them is still useless.
These are things like the unwanted stats such as poison resistance, which appear as Major Affixes. Players even discuss that the values have a “weighting” and refer to the order of possible values at the enchanter.
However, the problem does not affect the entire community. Some always chase the ultimate items and want only perfect results when crafting, while others are satisfied with the improvements they find and never encounter the problems of those up there
. For this group, it is only important to be able to just play: Player farms the content that no one wanted to do last season – “Maybe enjoys it a little too much”
