One player has made it his mission to defeat thousands of bosses in Diablo 4 to document the drop rates of loot. His conclusion: If you are hoping for the best items in the game, you could be disappointed. To enhance your gaming experience and skip the grind, consider buying Diablo 4 Gold to gear up faster and dominate your adventures.
Which bosses did he kill?
The player has killed every Torment Level 4 boss in Diablo 4 several times to farm loot: Grigoire, the Beast in the Ice, Varshan, Lord Zir, Andariel, and Duriel.
The bosses are available from Torment 1, but the drop chance of strong loot increases with higher difficulty levels. With the bosses, you not only have a chance to get the coveted Mythic Uniques, but also “bequeathed” items (ancestral items) with “larger affixes” (GA).
The GA are 1.5x as strong as normal affixes and therefore very popular for many builds in the endgame. You can find our tier list for the best builds in Vessel of Hatred and Season 6 of Diablo 4 here.
More Mythics than Uniques with 3 GA
This is the result after the runs: On Reddit, the user Visible-Brief-2477 presents his result after 2,400 runs using various tables. In the tables, he lists the drops after the runs – including Mythics and GA uniques. In the end, he received 14,400 loot drops, including:
- 1,978 items with 1 GA
- 136 items with 2 GA
- 17 items with 3 GA
- 5 items with 4 GA
- 36 Mythic Uniques
Each boss drops 6 items on Torment 4 per run, the player notes, and if you look at the drops of items with 3 and 4 major affixes, they make up 0.12% and 0.03% at 14,400 drops. And 0.25% of the 14,400 drops are Mythics.
In concrete terms, this would mean that you can get the rare Mythics faster than strong items with 3-4 larger affixes. And when the GA uniques drop, it may still be that the aspects on the items that have a big influence on the build and individual skills have little value.
The player’s goal was to show the drop rate of 3GA and 4GA uniques. He thinks the drop rates for both are “catastrophic” – especially when compared to the rate of Mythic Uniques, which are supposed to be the rarest items in the game, he notes. His conclusion: The grind is not worth it, and he hopes that Blizzard will increase the drop rates.
“Loot drops in Season 6 are terrible”
What do other players say about drop rates?
In another Reddit post, Bored_guy_in_dc explains that the item drops in Season 6 are “just terrible”:
- The GA items drop rarely and with minimal aspect values, which means that they are rarely useful.
- As far as Mythics goes, some players are lucky, but others farm bosses every day and hardly get any Mythic drops.
- The drop rate of legendary runes is also “almost as bad as that of Mythics,” he says.
Another user writes on Reddit that he killed the boss Duriel 100 times to get two specific items for his build. To do this, he farmed Mats for two weeks. He got three Mythic Uniques, which he dismantled for “Magnificent Sparks” – but none of the items he needs.
Duriel and Andariel are still at least good places for players to farm the coveted Mythics. A player has killed the boss Andariel in Diablo 4 250 times – and he has also documented his loot drops. The result is sobering, but doesn’t really surprise the community.
