True RND dont exist in gaming per now.
Which is why they use different inputs to alter drops.

1. Map seed (alter everything)
2. Locations visited (alters type of item dropped)
3. Number of items in inventory, cube, merc, stash, maby other stash tabs (alters type of item dropped, or stats, cant remember)
4. Number of players (alters ratio)
5. Number of summons (alters stats inside the item)
6. Time (probarly alter map seed)

So on singleplayer with fixed mapseed you can get the same rare item over and over again. (you need to drop something else so number of items remains the same)

Years ago I found two astreons in worldstone keep within 30 seconds of eachother. I had no idea how rare unique cadaceus was back then but that’s even rarer then a legendary mallet

I don't see how that's possible unless some extremely rare bug?

Uniques are one a game, as in you can only get each unique once per game. So unless both of them dropped at the exact same thing and you didn't notice, or something else strange happened, idk how to explain that if you're telling the truth (or what's more likely is you just misremembered).

This was a thing for Sets on Legacy
If my memory is right this is why everytime Llama found a set Caduceus he would then clear all areas that could drop Astreons.

Set caduceus can drop multiple times in same game.

I definitely remember it, I took screenshots and was posting in a discord group. I’ve never heard of that rule though Is that somewhere on a wiki page or something? This was back around 2019 and it was on the plugy mod but idk if that is relevant.
