I don't think gamble can spawn Sacred items. You can find magical ones and upgrade them to rare.

I'm crafting for Iron Golem (who (or I) can die any time), but I don't want to use the more valuable shrines.

Maybe Intimidating, Spiritual, Hidden and the % minion stats shrines (I just use 1 point in minions).

This recent poll might help determine which ones are rarely used so could be considered trash shrines I guess.

Looks like Magical, Sacred, and Trinity are the least used. Followed closely by Hidden and Ornate.

Of course one man's garbage is another man's treasure sometimes so maybe to you some of those might not be considered garbage. One thing's for sure though, don't use any Abandoned shrines as junk.

That's awesome, it's a small sample size but you can at least tell the most valuable shrines. I don't do a lot of crafting so I'm not familiar with the best shrines. Slightly surprised that Trinity did so badly, it seems pretty good for me considering I use totems, but I suppose it's all situational. The -enemy resistances shrines I think are also get a bit bad rap because they're split into 4 categories.

Hidden/Magical seem like what I'll be looking for, and perhaps Tainted because I never ever do summoners.

Hello all. Where to farm items for my caster pala at lvl 102? Any tips ?

I've made 85 andy + duriel norm runs to get 2 TU per game ( they drop both 1 ). Sometimes the guy before duriel drops one too.
About 3-4 mins per games. So 4-5h hour farm. This made me able to create 5 TU , rerolled one 3 times. Upgraded them to T2.
Gave me : Full res 80/80/78/78 , 2.5k life , dmg from 150 to 550 at level +- 40.

This can give you an idea.

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

If you're able to farm Nihlathak in act 5 that's going to be your best bet to gather TUs. He's guaranteed to drop 3 every time. Kill him, rinse and repeat. And if you don't find any of the TUs you need that way, you can turn all the ones you do find into crystals and make your own TUs with the cube recipe. Of course you need to have the corresponding base item to cube but those are usually easy to find or shop for.

You can kill him?
Edit: Nevermind, I just remembered that part of the story, lol.

If you can kill nilatak , its 3 uniques per run. He's easy and fast to find. Within an hour you can have every AC you need to gear up with tiered uniques ( at the right tier for your level ).

I just got to Nihlathak and he is pretty easy, I'll farm him a bit. I have two more questions:

Do affix bonuses like % enchanced def from Superior items carry over into a TU, or are they just important to have for runewords?

Also, can I get an invite to the discord server? DM Zaspar#2328

its both void bosses can drop a trophy fragment like JDay or its just rathma?

Affixes on crafted TUs are rolled, just like if they dropped. You can reroll a tier 4 TU by cubing it with another crystal but you lose all MO, runes etc on the item if you reroll it. The base only matters for shrine and jewel crafting and runewords.

Are there any chance`s to remake Necro Malice tree in future ? We have sorc, Pala, Trap asa, Druid, Ama based on energy/magic spell dmg which are viable. But Necro is still missing this section. If poison dmg is hard to " fix " and fit in the game to make it strong dmg maybe change it ? Or boost ghost lance dmg and change its mechanic to hit first target ? Necro have potential to cast some high dmg dark magic

I assume they both can drop because the drop rate is %4, wheres all other ubers that has single boss has %7.
