Diablo 4 Update 1.3.2 Full Patch Notes: Uber Unique Crafting

Diablo 4 Season 3 released just a few weeks ago, and it brought a ton of new mechanics and activities for players to experience. Not only is the new Seneschal Construct one of the more unique ways of customizing your character, but the new Vault dungeons and Arcane Tremors are amazing additions, filled with a ton of monsters for players to defeat. Now, with the initial buzz of the season dying down, players have started gearing up their characters for the upcoming Gauntlet weekly dungeon, which is going to arrive in the next few weeks.

One of the main ways to improve your characters is by farming Duriel and trying to get some of the strongest items in the game, called Uber Uniques. The drop rate of these items has been a point of discussion within the community, with the overall consensus being that it is too low. For this reason, Blizzard has released patch 1.3.2, which adds an additional way of finding your desired Uber Unique item. Here is everything you need to know!

Diablo 4 Update 1.3.2 Full Patch Notes

While the majority of the 1.3.2 patch is dedicated to bug fixes, the highlight is definitely the new Uber Unique crafting system. Many players have complained that the drop rate of these items is far too low, and it seems like Blizzard agrees. They have added a brand new resource that can only be obtained through salvaging Uber Unique items, and by having a certain amount of this resource, you will be able to craft the specific Uber Unique item that you need. This will allow players to work towards the item they need, instead of endlessly farming Uber Duriel and getting the wrong items to drop. Here are the full patch notes for patch 1.3.2, which is scheduled to go live on February 13th.

Game Updates

Uber Unique Crafting

Developer’s Note: Uber Unique items are highly sought after. With Season of Blood, we introduced target-farming Uber Unique Items with Uber Duriel to gives players another source of acquiring this type of item. However, we want to give players increased autonomy in obtaining their desired Uber Unique by addressing feedback that expressed how acquiring duplicate or undesired Uber Unique Items lessens that feeling of triumph. A new system empowers players to make use of duplicate and undesired Uber Unique items by salvaging them for a new resource which can be used to eventually craft an Uber Unique of their choosing. Additionally, the chance for Uber Unique Items to drop everywhere but in Uber Duriel encounters has been increased.

• Uber Unique Items can now be salvaged to provide a new resource, Resplendent Sparks. Players can bring 5 Resplendent Sparks to the Alchemist and Transmute an Uber Unique of their choice.
• The Refine Resources tab at the Alchemist has been renamed Transmute, and the option to craft an Uber Unique item can be found under that tab.
  Note that the preview window for crafting an Uber Unique won't display the item’s affixes.
• The drop chance of Uber Unique items acquired outside of Uber Duriel encounters has been increased.

Miscellaneous

• The Cursed Shrine event now gives the Shrine bonus at the start of the event instead of when it is finished.
