We have some extreme loot luck to check out once more! A Kurast Undercity tribute run turned out to pay out more than bargained for!
That’s a Lot of Purple!
We’ve all been happy to see the Unique quality Tribute of Ascendance drop out in the world. The “increased chances of a Mythic Unique” text is always alluring. However, the purple drop is far from guaranteed, as players have used plenty of them with nothing to show for it. Well, today one player had a VERY different experience.
MrPetramen went for a solo Undercity run with the tribute in hand. But nobody could have expected the extreme level of luck that was attached to that tribute, as not one, but two Mythics dropped!
As many commenters mentioned, with that level of luck, you’d expect the drops to be the worst Mythics for those slots, Andariel and Selig. Well, they were half right! While the insta-salvage Melted Heart of Selig was indeed present, so was a
Harlequin Crest! And the helm even actually needed for a build too.
There has been a lot of discussion since the expansion on whether better loot awaits in the Undercity if you run a tribute with a group vs. running it alone. And while this can’t be considered proof since RNG is RNG, at least we know the extreme ends of the curve happen solo as well.
Three in a Row?
There was also a comment in the above thread claiming some possible even better luck than this! ItchyNarwhal8192 joined in the Tribute of Ascendancy discussion and mentioned their own extreme luck in this department. And while MrPetramen’s loot luck was very focused to one run, ItchyNarwhal’s was spread out over three back-to-back runs!
There’s no screenshot or similar to back this claim up, so it’s a little less credible, but we generally don’t see why players would make this stuff up. Two of the three actually being usable is also very good luck.
And if you’re commenting on the number of Greater Affixes on Mythic Uniques as being “only 1 star”, you know you’re a lucky one! How has your purple luck been this season?
