yes, thats normal. nilathak nightmare drops 2-3 tiered uniques and 1 signet of learning. usually best spot for arcane crystal farming

Does Hell Nilathak still drop 2 sigs?

Yes. It's the most effective and in the same time boring sig farming.


Nightmare Nilathak drops 2 sigs as well if you needed to start farming them any earlier.

The guy said he drops just 1 sig. It doesn't make sense to have nightmare one drop 2 sigs and arcane shards and the hell one to drop just 2 sigs.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to Shrine bless a pair of sacred honorific boots I just made. Boots+2AC +Shrine Vessel (tried shimmering and creepy), nothings happens.
Thanks to the one who will explain me what I'm doing wrong...

Take out one Shrine from the Vessel and do it again! :)

Hell 0 guaranteed uniques and 2 sig
