Uber Uniques are dead. Long live Mythic Uniques. Yes, in Diablo 4 the rarest and most covetable items in the game have had a makeover in name, appearance and even drop rates. But what exactly is a Mythic Unique? How do you get them? How can you target farm them? All of those questions will be answered and more!

What is a Mythic Unique?

The loot you can get in Diablo varies in rarity, with Mythic Uniques being the most rare. So Diablo loot goes:

Mythic Unique > Unique > Legendary > Rare > Magic > Common

There are only 12 Mythic Uniques in the game with most of them being equippable by any class, and 5 of them being class-specific. Mythic Uniques always drop at the highest item power level of 800, maximum rolls on their affixes, and with a guaranteed drop of at least 1 Greater Affix (a x1.5% roll on any given stat).

Here's a table of all of them, including what their unique affixes are and who can use them.

Where can I get Mythic Uniques?

You won't start seeing Mythic Uniques drop until you unlock Torment difficulty. You can strike lucky and get a Mythic Unique drop from any Torment difficulty in Diablo 4 and the chances get higher as you go from Torment 1 through to 4, but given this item's rarity, there are a few ways to increase your chances further and even craft your own Mythic Unique using Resplendent Sparks. Let's start with how to farm Mythic Uniques.

Diablo 4 bosses on the Boss Ladder are the best way to obtain a Mythic Unique, with Andariel and Duriel having double the chance of the other bosses to drop you some purple loot.

How to craft a Mythic Unique

You'll need 4 Resplendent Sparks to craft a specific Mythic Unique (Image credit: Jennifer Young - Windows Central)

There are two ways to craft Mythic Uniques, and only one of these will be available to you if you do not own the Vessel of Hatred expansion.

ALL PLAYERS regardless of what game version you have can craft a random Mythic Unique at the Blacksmith using:

  • 2 Resplendant Sparks
  • 50,000,000 Gold

Go to the 'Forge Equipment' tab at the Blacksmith to do this.

Vessel of Hatred players who have Runes can craft a specific Mythic Unique of their choice at the Jeweler using:

  • 2 Resplendent Sparks
  • 5000 Gold
  • Specific runes as stated for each

Resplendent Sparks are, you guessed it, the rarest material in the game. Go figure. So how do you get them? 

How to get a Resplendent Spark

Each of these activities below rewards 1 Resplendent Spark

  • Reach the highest rank of Zakarum Remnants in the Season 6 journey on any character (not yet confirmed for Season 6 but will update)
  • Defeat a Boss Ladder on Torment 4 for the first time
  • Defeat Uber Lilith for the first time (if you have done this in any previous season, you will have a Spark but you cannot repeat it)
  • Salvage any Mythic Unique

Whilst many players salvage Mythic Uniques to craft the one they want, Mythic Uniques are so rare that some find it easier to just level up an alternate character in the season to receive the season cache again. How you gather your Resplendent Sparks is up to you, but there is no quick route.

At this stage in the season, I have two Resplendent Sparks. That's because I have defeated a Tormented Boss, and I have completed the Mother's Blessings reputation board. If I want to craft a Mythic Unique, I need to smash the two I currently have at the Blacksmith, and I'll be able to craft my own. 

How do I get 50 million gold?

You can, of course, farm gold by simply playing the game and saving your pennies, but at the end of the game, when you are spending money on Masterworking, Enchantments, and Gem Crafting, you'll be running out of gold fast, and may come up short when trying to craft your Mythic Unique. Luckily, the Infernal Hordes activity now has a gold chest at the end that you can repeatedly open to rack up your cash, but if you want a really fast way to get gold, trading with other players is the fastest route.

By using a site like Diablo Trade, you can simply take a photo of an item you have to sell and get offers, much like eBay but with in-game gold. Using this site, my partner sold a Greater Affix ring for 5 billion, yes, BILLION gold. The best items to sell are those with multiple Greater Affixes and amulets with specific passive buffs. 

Do I really need a Mythic Unique?

No. Many of the best builds in Diablo are not reliant on having a Mythic Unique, you can easily complete endgame content like The Pit without ever using a Mythic Unique. They are simply a nice to have, exciting to see drop, and may help push your build that bit further to victory. Good luck loot hunting!
