Another Set Sacred Armor


I didn't take a screenshot of it yet, I guess I forgot... but I also made a beast in a pickaxe and have been testing playing with beast + 6 ist wep instead of 2x 6 ist weps. Drops MF to 650 from 830, but kills a lot faster too. Probably just mess around with both setups.

Days since new item: 23
Days since last unique sacred - 55
Items remaining: 1
Runes remaining: 1
Levels remaining: 2.67

Running total of Sacred Armors since 1 item remaining:
Magic - 39
Rare - 9
Set - 8
Unique - 0

Running total of Sacred Armors since last Unique Sacred:
Magic - 76
Rare - 19
Set - 15
Unique - 0

The actual difference in MF for uniques going from 830 to 650 is -11.57 effective, so a drop of roughly 6%

Definitely better off increasing the number of drops rather than keeping the extra MF I would think.

Other than that, congrats on an awesome effort, and good luck finding that pesky armour! It’s not the rarest item in the game for nothing…..

100%, I have done a bit of math surrounding this.

If I only consider Tyreal's drop rate at MF 828 versus 643, then I have 1:365816 versus 1:381479.
If I consider I am running the same map (so density/champions/elites dont change over the long term) and my map has 8.2 bosses/map plus I have 75% find item on both builds, then effectively I have 14.35 bosses per run.
Thus, at 828MF I need (365816/14.35) 25,492 runs to find Tyreals.
At 643MF, I need 26,584 runs to find Tyreals.
If I run the map in 78 seconds with 828MF and 75 seconds at 643MF, then I would find Tyreal's in essentially the same amount of time.
So, if I can improve my run speed by more than 3 seconds per run (assuming run times are around that 70-80 second timeframe), then using much lower MF is worth it overall. I still need to do much more testing to determine my overall run speed with beast versus without.

HOWEVER, since I am so "Due" for a Unique Sacred... its really hard to want to run the beast, because any Sacred, especially rare or set ones, makes me wonder if I was running the extra MF... would it have been unique? That's really the dilemma right now.

Also, thanks for reading and commenting
