Diablo 4 Necromancer Uniques & How to farm them

by | Jan 25, 2024

Unique items are the rarest and most specialized weapons and armor pieces in the game. Not all Unique items are created equal, though, as some of them are class-specific while others aren’t. Plus, a handful of Uniques are so rare Blizzard calls them “Uber” Uniques.

This guide covers all the Diablo 4 Unique items that are either exclusive to Necromancers or that can be used by any class, including Necromancers.

How to target farm Necromancer Uniques

Before Season 2, there were no specific methods to farm Unique items in Diablo 4. All you could do was farm the associated Enemy types in Nightmare dungeons and hope for the best. That method still works, and you can still farm Uniques by chasing specific enemy types; however, you can now farm Uniques, including Necro Uniques, by farming Endgame Bosses.

The table above tells you exactly what Endgame boss drops which Uniques in the column “Source”. 

Endgame Bosses featured Diablo 4

What are unique items in Diablo 4

Unique items are among the most sought-after items in the entire game. Offering top-tier stats and powerful affixes, Uniques are only available in World Tier 3 (Nightmare) difficulty and above. Unlike Legendary weapons that can drop with random Aspects and Affixes, Unique items feature fixed Affixes and unique Effects that can’t be found anywhere else. Most Uniques are Class-specific, but a few of them can be equipped by any Class.

Rarest Unique items in Diablo 4

A handful of Unique items are so rare and hard to find Adam Jackson, Lead Class Designer for Diablo IV, took it to Twitter to clarify how these can be obtained. We cover the Uber Uniques in D4 here.

Before you go…
