The best way to target farm Unique Gear is to run and complete Nightmare Dungeons. Mob groups have an increased drop chance of specific items which means that Dungeons are the most optimal way of farming a specific item. Patch 1.1.1 has increased mob and elite density for all Nightmare Dungeons, making it the best activity for target farming. Completing Nightmare Dungeons also reward players with powerful gear including Uniques.
Nightmare Dungeons also have a +10% increased chance to drop Ancestral and Sacred Items, which means the Uniques that you get will be of higher quality. You get even more chances at Uniques because Elite mobs inside Nightmare Dungeons also have a +10% increased chance to drop another item, and clearing a Nightmare Dungeon has a +50% chance to drop a second Legendary.

Before you can start farming Unique items, you need to unlock World TIer 3 (Nightmare difficulty). You can reach this World Tier by finishing Diablo 4's main campaign and completing the Cathedral of Light Capstone Dungeon at Kyovashad.
World Tier 4 (Torment difficulty) also drops Unique items with better stats and affixes. We recommend progressing toward this higher difficulty if you want to get the best Uniques possible.
How to Change World Tier Difficulty
Helltides are a great way to farm Uniques because Mystery Chests and all other Helltide Chests have a chance to drop Unique items. Elite mobs within the Helltide also have an increased +30% chance to drop an extra item, which means you have more chances at getting a Unique!
# | Helltide Unique Farming Priority |
---|---|
1 |
Prioritize Helltide Events because the chest it rewards at the end has a chance to drop uniques. You will also get Aberrant Cinders which you will need to open Tortured Gifts. |
2 |
Mystery Chests should be your next priority as it drops the most items out of the other chests, which means more chances at a Unique item. |
3 |
When you have opened all Mystery Chests, open the remaining slot-specific chests. Remember to kill all Elite mobs you encounter along the way when roaming the area for more item drops. |

Uber Uniques stand out because of they have more powerful Aspects, compared to other Unique items. As the name suggests, these are much more powerful but incredibly rare, and have an abysmally low drop rate.
There are currently six available in the game. They only drop from Level 85+ enemies and are always at 820 Item Power. This has been confirmed by Adam Jackson, the Lead Class Designer for Diablo 4 on his Twitter.
List of Uber Unique Items | |
---|---|
Weapons |
・Doombringer (Sword) ・The Grandfather (2H Sword) ・Ahavarion Spear of Lycander (Staff) (New) |
Armor |
・Andariel's Visage (Helm) ・Harlequin Crest (Helm) |
Rings and Amulets |
・Ring of Starless Skies (Ring) ・Melted Heart of Selig (Amulet) |
When a Unique item drops, there is a small chance for it to be one of the six mentioned Uber Uniques. In order to have the best chances of getting one, it is recommended to farm content that regularly drop Uniques like Helltide Events and specific Nightmare Dungeons.
Certain types of enemies have a higher chance to drop a specific type of item, depending on which family or archetype they belong to. For example, Spiders and Vampires are more likely to drop 2H Swords than any other type of enemies, so farming Level 85+ Spiders and Vampires are the best way to get the The Grandfather.
Below is a list of the Uber Uniques and the best Dungeons to target farm them in, as well as the enemy types you need to look out for.
