Diablo 4: 13 Rarest Items in the Game

Highlights

• In Diablo 4, there are various Unique items that players can find and use to enhance their character’s abilities and performance. These items are highly sought after due to their unique perks and rarity. Here are some of the most coveted Unique items in the game:
• (Uber) Worldheart’s Call – Any Class
• (Uber) Boots of the Shapeshifter – Druid

Moreso than its predecessors, Diablo 4 thrives on its endless, unpredictable bounties of riches, gear, and player-enhancing items to gather throughout Sanctuary. While the game offered a number of the highly-exclusive Unique items from the outset, Season 1 brought the rarest of the rare; the ‘Uber Uniques’.

These Uber Uniques remain immensely scarce to the point where even some diehard players have questioned whether they exist. They do, but they require a combination of ample luck and grinding to obtain in Diablo 4. As such, it seems appropriate to highlight all seven highly scarce Uber Uniques in Sanctuary, along with a few other extremely rare and coveted items.

Updated June 30, 2024 by Stephen LaGioia: While having over a year under its belt, Diablo 4 feels as newly compelling as ever, with many goodies to gather, demons to slay, and rich, rewarding content to take part in. Season 4 fleshes the massive ARPG out even further, proving to be the most significant season update yet.

Changes include a more solid, streamlined item system, Helltide updates, new crafting options post-campaign, and some QoL refinements. But while Blizzard has made sifting through items a bit simpler and clearer, there remain loads of items to sort out, with some new ones sprinkled in. And so, we thought it was time to revisit this guide highlighting the rarest, most coveted items in the game.

This list includes the two best World Tier 3-4 Uniques, with most items usable by each class. Each Uber Unique will primarily be highlighted, but some rarer, more useful non-Uber Uniques will also be mentioned.

Ubers specifically start dropping upon defeating monsters at
level 55 and up,
at the max item power level. Uniques are only available starting in World Tier 3.

As the Uber Unique drop rate is only
around 2%,
players often find it useful to utilize certain locations and tactics to
farm for these items and other notable gear
from endgame (or late-game) bosses.

13 (Non-Uber) Wildheart Hunger

This is a highly-impactful set of boots meant for the Druid class. Being Ancestral Unique-level rarity, they are obtainable in World Tier 4, though even then they won’t often appear. The boots generally focus on swiftness, bumping up movement speed by a good margin, and granting Wildheart for five seconds after Shapeshifting into the always-satisfying Werewolf or Werebear.

Wildheart is a perk that further boosts damage: 1-1.5% specifically when Shapeshifting for every two seconds. This may not seem like much at first, but it has the potential to stack up to 20 times, which can pile up, and turn one’s Druid into quite the speed demon.

12 (Non-Uber) Yen’s Blessing

While not in the highly exclusive “Uber” category, these boots, named after the Veradani Goddess or Restoration, are hard to find and highly sought after for their versatility and usefulness. They require World Tier 4 to find, and even there the drop rate is very low.

These blessed boots quickly help players weather the storm of heated battles with their generous boosts in speed and damage reduction (close-up enemies). Rounding this out further is an up-to-20% boost in vulnerable damage.

They also make it a bit easier for players to overwhelm opponents, with an affix that grants a quick cast of a skill (non-mobility, non-Ultimate) following the casting of another skill. Finally, the boosts yield an up to 20% primary resource restoration Lucky Hit chance.

11 (Non-Uber) Scoundrel’s Kiss

Despite not being an Uber, the Rogue-specific Scoundrel’s Kiss exists not far from that realm because of its potency and rarity, requiring World Tier 4. This is a particularly great ring, especially for those who like to venture through the southern swamps. This is because it offers solid resistance to poison, and additional resistance to all elements as a whole — 10% for each.

But more critically, it raises the chance for critical strikes and rapid fire, while also cutting back the time of Imbuement cooldown. This all complements the large boost in attack speed, which triggers after simply dodging an attack — lasting four seconds.

10 (Non-Uber) Temerity

Any Class

These pants are a survivalist’s dream. Like every item featured here, Temerity is a highly sought-after Unique item that can only be obtained in World Tier 3 or higher (Nightmare or Torment difficulty). Players will still want to farm in higher-ranked dungeons and Helltide events for a better chance of finding one; though they’re at least not near impossible to obtain like the Uber Uniques.

As far as non-Ubers go, Temerity is coveted quite a bit for its unique perks and its versatility; as it can be worn by any class lucky enough to stumble upon one.

Those who use healing liberally will likely want to seek these out, as it rewards players by granting a Barrier up to 40 to 80 percent of the avatar’s maximum life, holding for an eight-second duration. They also aid in sustainability in other ways; bumping up the rate of health potion drops, increasing healing received, and increasing all stats a bit.

9 (Non-Uber) Fists Of Fate

Any Class

These Unique gloves are among the best in the game — at least for those worn by any class. As its name implies, the player will leave much in the hands of the deities with the gear’s erratic stats. Most of its perks and stat boosts are tethered to random chance on some level, though they have a high ceiling in terms of potential.

The gloves lean heavily on the ‘Lucky Hit’ mechanic, whereby landing one grant various boosts. These include the chance to Daze, heal, Immobilize, and restore health. Attacks will also sporadically deal a given percentage more than the baseline stat, spanning to 300 percent. Those who frequently grind will find the gear rather fun and useful for their build, especially for the Lucky Hit Rogue build.

8 Tyrael’s Might

Any Class

Described as a piece of Unique armor that causes all demonic entities to shudder at this “aspect of Justice’s” might, Tyrael’s Might will instantly boost players noticeably regardless of the situation. While the item is usable for all classes, chances are players will only be able to find enough for a single one of their classes to benefit from, as it’s extremely rare.

Though there’s a good reason for its almost absurd scarcity. Sizable boosts are granted to elemental resistance, in addition to general damage reduction (10%). The armor thrives when it comes to offensive might and efficiency too, with a plus-18 in every statistic. A legendary affix also brings a divine barrage dealing damage, guaranteed as long as players use a skill and are at full health.

7 Ring Of Starless Skies

Any Class

While it won’t revolutionize one’s build compared to most other Ubers, the Ring of Starless Skies is still coveted for its damage-boosting and its versatility; being usable by any class.

Those who favor Core Skills will want to seek out this gem, as it offers decent bumps in Core Skill damage and brings down the resource cost of succeeding Core Skills, maxing out at 40 percent. It’s also quite good at weathering the hostile elements of nature; both fire and cold.

6 Ahavarion, Spear Of Lycander

Druid, Sorcerer

One of the most powerful and desired weapons in the game, players will have their work cut out for them when securing this Uber Unique — along with the six other Ubers of its ilk. Not only will players need to hunt in the grueling World Tier 3 or 4, but they and the monsters they face must be level 85 or higher.

The spear thrives on crowd control and staving off waves of foes at once; a common occurrence in the game. Ahavarion grants a generous portion of added DPS (damage per second) in various ways, bumping up attack speed, attacks per second, and raw damage. Lucky Hits also yield a chance to stun targets, and a boost of damage to crowd-controlled enemies is also given. These traits allow players to overpower foes even when vastly outnumbered.

5 The Grandfather

Barbarian, Necromancer

This massive weapon serves to complement and enhance the already potent Barbarian class, while giving some needed offense to the Necro too. The weapon is a powerhouse in terms of sheer damage output, while bolstering survivability by boosting maximum health and all stats.

Not only this, but it includes the resourceful bonus of disregarding durability loss that comes from dying. Those who find themselves perishing more than they’d like can at least take solace in the fact that they won’t lose precious wealth frequently repairing this sword.

4 Harlequin Crest

Any Class

While it may not look like much, this ghoulish headdress is appealing for its highly useful perk of bumping all Skills by four ranks. This essentially does the same job of countless leveling, and instantly enhances the player to an absurd degree. This is supplemented by a moderate boost to all stats, damage reduction, and maximum life.

Not only this, but the (relatively) small boost to resource generation and cooldown reduction ensures players can utilize skills more often while wreaking havoc on foes.

3 Andariel’s Visage

Any Class

Players who spend ample time down in the swamp will want to get their hands on the distinct helm called Andariel’s Visage. Not only does it weather the irritating poison DoT (damage over time) with efficiency, but it also goes a step beyond with its great life-stealing feature and the potential to inflict poison damage.

This helm also boots one’s overall offensive prowess, with a small boost in every stat as well as attack speed.

2 Melted Heart Of Selig

Any Class

Elemental damage can be pesky in Diablo 4, given the subtly dangerous wear-and-tear of DoT they bring. Players bothered by this may want to hold on to the Melted Heart of Selig on the off-chance it’s found, as it brings ample resistance to all elements.

On the flip side, it enables more elemental damage from players — with decent boosts in resource generation and maximum resource. This is compounded by having players drain resource when taking damage. Needless to say, this is a great Amulet for frequent spellcasters, though it can be used by anyone.

1 Doombringer

Any Class

This elegant sword can allow players to deal loads of DPS with its generous damage, critical, and core skill damage. This is topped off with the Lucky Hit feature which grants a chance to hit enemies with hundreds or even thousands in Shadow damage to surrounding foes, while reducing their damage inflicted for several seconds.

Add some maximum life and a chance to heal, and the Doombringer truly lives up to its name — while lessening the odds that doom begets the player.
