In Dungeonborne, there are 5 different rarities of items: uncommon, magic, epic, legendary, and unique. Each rarity will give you certain stats and bonuses. What distinguishes legendary and unique items is that they will provide you with rare, powerful abilities. For example, a Unique Scorpion Sting that fires ice bolts, freezing the target for 3 seconds. You cannot get it on uncommon, magic, or epic items. That is why legendary and unique items are so desirable, but they are expensive. There is a good reason why they are so expensive, and that is drop-chance.
How to Get Legendary and Unique Items
Legendary: You can obtain legendary items by defeating mini-bosses, looting mimics and chests, defeating special mobs, and so on. You need a lot of luck.
Legendary Heirlooms: In Dungeonborne, you can craft 3 legendary heirlooms. They are great for new players, but they are pretty bad for high end players. Yes, they are legendary, so players think that they are strong because of rarity, but that is not true. It is better to craft epic heirlooms that will increase your stats and provide you with more value. Legendary heirlooms are beneficial only when you wish to create bonus sets.
Unique items: When it comes to Unique items they can only be dropped by defeating the main boss. The problem with this is that it is extremely hard to kill. Yes, you can kill it with full epic gear and set bonuses, but if you are running on budget gear, you will have a hard time. First, you have to survive in a lobby full of epic gear players who will simply kill you. The second is that the boss’s HP is incredibly high, so you can forget about doing it solo. Even if you have a team, you will struggle.
Legendary and Unique items Drop Chance
Legendary and Unique item drop chance is extremely low. It seems impossible to get legendary and unique items. There are players who killed over 100 bosses, and they did not get a single item.
The problem is that there is no official information from developers about drop chances, so players did some investigation. Some players did data mining on game files and discovered that once a unique item drops, it will be locked for 8 hours. So in the period of 8 hours, no single player will be able to get that legendary and unique item that is dropped. The item will remain locked for 8 hours, after which it reverts to the pool. This is just a theory that players create by finding some evidence inside the game file.
The problem that I see, even if they are time-locked, is that the amount of them on the market is still low. So the only explanation is that players who manage to get them are selling them for real money to other players.
Hopefully, developers of Dungeonborne will address issues with legendary and unique items drop chance, increase it, and give official data and chance of getting one. Legendary and Unique items are extremely good, so every player should be able to have at least one.
