Okay, I know to get a certain item to drop you have to find the angle. Well, I found one in nightmare that drops a gilded shield if I run from the middle of mephy's little nest and straight to the chest.

My question is: what are the chances of a rack dropping a unique?

I hit it every run and about 7/10 runs it's a gilded shield.

Sometimes I'll misclick or my mouse slides down a bit and I go on a new path.

I did not know that.

I'm not sure I wanted to know that.

That's why LK is so nice to farm, 2 weapon racks and 2 armor racks :drool:

I don't know if they changed the unique drop chance on racks, but iirc it was around 1/200

I love approaching racks from different angles.

An apt response considering your username, sir :rofl:

On-topic, I recall grinding an armour rack in one of the Kurasts for Trang's Wing, as it was consistently dropping a cantor trophy. I lost count of how many times I tried, haha... was over a hundred. But I got it :)

Don't know if that helps... set item rather than unique.

I thought it was monsters spawning nearby and not necessarily the angle you approach it. I'd say probably 1/200 chance for unique based on past experience.

In my experience it's a combination of both angle and monster packs in close proximity.
