You can also use Orbs of Chance to target farm certain unique items since these have a chance of turning your Normal gear into random Uniques based on the base type you used it on. For example, getting an Astramentis Stellar Amulet is only possible by using an Orb of Chance on Stellar Amulets.

Keep in mind that using this will also have a chance of destroying the equipment so try to use this wisely.

Aside from the methods mentioned above, there are no other methods to target farm specific Unique items. The best you can do is to increase the amount of Uniques that drop in general by investing into increasing Item Rarity of the items that you find through gear or map modifiers.

Defeating Bosses and Rare monsters in Path of Exile 2 won't guarantee that you get uniques, but doing they do have higher chances of dropping them. We recommend looking for maps that can be cleared quickly and easily to save time without having to explore too much.

Make sure to equip yourself with good equipment first as these enemies can be difficult to defeat. Once you've cleared the area or defeated your intended target, you can use the reset instance feature to have enemies respawn and jump right back in.
