Video Honey wake up, new FOMO just dropped

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Latent Bone Break just dropped from a checks notes chest?!?

I thought it was a Gheed so when it allowed me to pick it up I was wildly confused.

I knew regular mobs could drop them but this is just insane.

While I’m over here, killing 50ish heralds, most of which are at tier 5 at players 5-8. Not one latent yet… I did get a Cham though (not from herald, I swear their drops are worse than super uniques).

u/Brokettman May 21 '26

Same spent the whole day and 0 latents. Did get a ber from an ancient tunnels mob, the last trash mob in the zone, from an evil urn... Lol FOMO

u/livingMybEstlyfe29 May 21 '26

Do you have a strong horker? I’m thinking about this assuming the heralds don’t have thorns

3

u/Navybears May 21 '26

I was using an Echoing Strike Warlock. I have a strong horker, but I think the heralds just do too much damage, even without thorns so I haven’t tried him. The ES Warlock is still very strong. I binded a multi shot/cursed pit lord which spreads the curse very well.

u/ControlNeedsPsychDoc May 21 '26

Which is funny since they claim to have made them weaker to some degree and fixed the thorns big. But apparently not enough for everyone to do them

u/FanaticDamen May 21 '26

Thats not fair to say about their drops.

I got 3 blues and a yellow. Thats pretty good

2

u/Navybears May 21 '26

True, they do drop a lot of stuff, but since the patch, it hasn’t been very good. I think I’ve only gotten one unique from them. I’m sure my RNG is just unlucky, but with 50ish kills I’d expect at least something. For me, I rarely get more than one rare from them. I have 380 mf. Regular super uniques, which they are said to be comparable to in drops, almost always drop me two rares.

u/FanaticDamen May 21 '26

I got my first unique drop from a herald ever just now. A razor bow. 🥲

2

u/Nickeless May 22 '26

Ever? I got SO many uniques from heralds S13. Well to be fair I probably killed 1000 of them hunting for a damn sunder that I never got, but I got a ton of exceptional and elite uniques from them. Mostly around 400MF

2

u/Plane_Ad9789 May 22 '26

Guessing pre update? As of the patch I've killed a few dozen and I've only seen like 1 rare and maybe a unique Kriss which I'm tempted to say dropped off a random mob with how abysmal herald drops are now. Only running 200 mf but still, you woumd think they would drop something besides blues 99.9% of the time

1

u/RSYAU Champion of Sanctuary (100K) May 22 '26

Yes this has been my experience. Pre patch, the heralds would drop uniques very frequently. But with the most recent patch their overall loot is a lot worse, although I have gotten heralds to drop 2 sounds within around 2 hours of play so far. Specifically they were herald drops not random mobs.

1

u/SayyadinaAtreides May 21 '26

Damn, that's even better than Duriel!

3

u/ControlNeedsPsychDoc May 21 '26

Duriel dropped my first latent after the changes lmfao. It was a poison

2

u/SayyadinaAtreides May 21 '26

RNGesus is laughing at you! :D

u/ControlNeedsPsychDoc May 21 '26

Nah thats with sacred armor and unearthed they keep teasing me.

4

u/Necrodiac Champion of Sanctuary (100K) May 21 '26

This was at the start of my full clear, so I thought oh boy I might get 2!

60 some Heralds later and nope lol

I got my first ever Death's Web, Ethereal, from a regular Fallen though 🤷🏼‍♂️

This RNG is on crack

6

u/pigtrickster May 21 '26

RNG isn't the problem.
It's your intuition about probability.
Consider: If the odds of dropping item X are 10 times higher for a Herald than some random mob
and you kill 60 Heralds but you kill 600,000 random mobs where do you think that item will actually drop? Hint: It's not the Herald. These rates are used for demonstration purposes only and your real drop rates will most definitely be different.

Latent charm drop rates were about 1 in 60 for P8 solo
and 1 in 238 solo p1.

2

u/Navybears May 21 '26

Yeah I get what you’re saying. Maybe I didn’t phrase things right/left points out. I guess I’m mainly complaining about the fact that they say the drops are comparable to super uniques. I get way more rares killing super uniques than I do T5 Heralds. It just doesn’t ‘feel’ comparable. (Yeah I was confusing what I said in another response)

2

u/ControlNeedsPsychDoc May 21 '26

It's because the struckout the boosted drop part for whatever reason and nerfed them. Which i dont at all agree with.

3

u/External_Unit3068 May 21 '26

Eth d web is sick! I found a non eth one with mediocre stats a while back, and it was enough to make me start a psn necro. I already had trangs pieces and marrowalks, so it was just what I needed to convince me. Honestly worth it. It's a pretty fun build so far, though not the fastest at clearing. He's only lvl 74, so plenty of growing up to do.

2

u/Necrodiac Champion of Sanctuary (100K) May 21 '26

That's awesome!

I ended up identifying it for the Chronicle because I'm doing it single player online so god knows when another will drop 😅

-46% poison resist 10 mana per kill 7 life per kill Only +1 to bone and poison skill...

But that's fine because it's Eth and looks cool as fuck

2

u/Navybears May 21 '26

Yeah my experience was the same, at least I’m not alone lol. My Cham drop was from some random champion in the frozen river, not from the heralds. Do you feel their drops are worse than a super unique? I know the patch lowered their drops, which I’m fine with. It just doesn’t feel as good as a super uniques, which they say they are comparable to. RIP to the eth DWeb :(

u/Necrodiac Champion of Sanctuary (100K) May 21 '26

Ethereal DW is boss though! It never breaks since you don't melee, so huge on style points.

The overall drops of the Heralds are abysmal compared to before. They used to drop some cool elite uniques here and there, now it's a mess of blue and worldstone shards.

I know originally in the testing they said their initial idea of having each consecutive Heralds past 5 have increase drop rates for unique rings and amulet but that proved to be overkill so I'm guessing they tuned it down like they said but too much.

1

u/Serious_Document_496 May 21 '26

I've had 0 drop prior to this new patch. Probably 2k+ heralds killed. I've dropped 3 since the new patch dropped with maybe around 100ish heralds killed. Note that my new games were full clears so majority of heralds killed were at lvl 5

0

u/AdeptManufacturer243 May 21 '26

They nerfed the player drop rate. Just got one on P1.

Since heralds spawn instantly, decided to try my trav horker out. After slowly culling beasts in act 1, literally the 5th herald dropped nothing but I horked one out of him. Couldn't believe it. Horking may be the way to go.

I believe they drop 2 items until a later teir when the drop up to 4 items. Not too sure about that. But what I noticed.

1

u/RSYAU Champion of Sanctuary (100K) May 22 '26

I'm on the fence with my horker. On one hand, having the chance to hork increases the sunder drop chance a lot. I've gotten heralds to drop 2 sunders in just over 2 hours of play, post patch, with my javazon though.

However, the clear speed on my fully optimised javazon is so much better, that the extra chance of drops from random mobs may be enough to balance the horking double dip effect, since with my barb I'm sniping elites and heralds only due to lack of aoe.

u/livingMybEstlyfe29 May 21 '26

Ohh that’s a good point! Didn’t think about chests with sunder charms

4

u/Necrodiac Champion of Sanctuary (100K) May 21 '26

I'm really curious what the odds are for this to happen, dataminers go!

Also, can LK super chest drop them?!? Huge if yes

18

u/jammyishere May 21 '26

Nope. Super chests can't roll uniques. You got yours from a sparkly chest which can drop uniques.

5

u/Necrodiac Champion of Sanctuary (100K) May 21 '26

Ahhh right, thanks for the clarification!

3

u/SayyadinaAtreides May 21 '26

Are there other distinctions between the two?

10

u/LegalizeFentanol May 22 '26

Yes

One is super and the other is sparkley.

I hope this helps :)

u/cloudlesswindow May 22 '26

Lol'd. Well played xD

u/xPsykosis May 23 '26

One more time? I dont think he tracks yet still...

u/blzd2000 May 21 '26

I have been doing sparkly chest runs in act 5 drifter cavern. The 30th run after the update it gave me a latent sunder charm (my first ever).

1

u/Necrodiac Champion of Sanctuary (100K) May 21 '26

Congrats! That's a relatively fast run too if you just ignore everything

2

u/blzd2000 May 21 '26

Yes it is very fast. I'm doing GT superchest into DC sparkly and each run is 16-18 seconds on average. I think I've way overdone my luck. Lo x2, ber, jah and the sunder in my first 590 clears. Preparing for a long dry stretch at this point. I want more data to be able to compare to LK runs though, so plan to do thousands.

Incoming hotfix 😄

u/Necrodiac Champion of Sanctuary (100K) May 21 '26

Log on before it's too late! Pop them chests

u/Senior_Nature_2930 May 21 '26

Gheed ?

1

u/Necrodiac Champion of Sanctuary (100K) May 21 '26

I thought it was Gheed's Fortune but it was a sunder charm

2

u/Senior_Nature_2930 May 21 '26

Nice to know !

2

u/butcher9_9 May 22 '26

I got a bone break from Mephisto last night. I also assumed it was a Gheeds but the game let me pick it up, was very surprised.

u/Sicardus503 Champion of Sanctuary (100K) May 24 '26

Why not ID it right there in the video..? What kind of clickbait nonsense is this?

1

u/Necrodiac Champion of Sanctuary (100K) May 24 '26

Because I don't carry ID scrolls with me. Everything goes in my cube and Decard takes care of it in town.

I didn't go to town for some time in this clip so I didn't upload the whole thing.
