Best strategy to farm uniques that don't have a divination card? - eviltoast

I’m playing SSF btw

I need a stupid T4 unique that I haven’t managed to drop (I did drop the ONLY OTHER UNIQUE WITH THE SAME BASE THANK YOU GGG -well at least this means that I can guarantee the one I need if I get an Ancient orb, right?- edit: no, Ancient Orb keeps class and ignores base, so I can vendor the one I dropped OK) or chance.

I missed a few years of PoE, so reading around it seems like trying Gwennen gambling is (or was) a good way to farm T1-T0, so I guess it should work for lower tiers as well? But is there a better way that you can suggest?

I’m at my wits’ end, since I’m level 87 and I haven’t managed to get it yet, absolutely my fault I know, but if I can’t get it “soon” I will probably migrate to Trade league and buy it for 3c lol

    Heist, Ritual, or Expedition leagues are decent for uniques. Blue altars and having some extra rarity like Gold flask also makes a big difference in the amount of unique drops in maps.

      Thanks! Not a fan of Heist so I’ll keep focusing on Expedition and add Ritual. I’ll also craft a Gold flask, even though I’m alreadly at around 90%IIR on my equip. Is the Atlas passive that converts map IIQ to 300% IIR worth taking?

        Never used it, but I think decent quant + rarity is better than just relying on rarity. Also, if you plan to run Expedition and Ritual, both scale with quantity.
