Nightmare Dungeons

Unique items like the Judicant's Glaivehelm have a low chance of dropping from random enemies and loot chests. Farming locations with high mob density moderately increases the drop rate of uniques in Diablo 4, making Nightmare dungeons a prime candidate for gear farming.

Upon completion, you can get random unique items from the completion reward chests.

World events and world bosses

Unique items have a low to moderate chance of dropping from world bosses and world events (like Helltides and Legion events). Among them, Helltides offer the highest drop rate for unique items.

While participating in these hourly events, you must slay monsters and collect Aberrant Cinders. Once you have collected enough, use them to open chests like:

• Tortured Gift of Protection (costs 75 Aberrant Cinders)
• Tortured Gift of Mystery (costs 250 Aberrant Cinders)

While Tortured Gift of Protection allows you to target armor pieces, the Tortured Gift of Mystery costs less, albeit with a higher drop chance for uniques.

Murmuring Obols can be farmed from random activities and max exploration in Diablo 4. Once you have collected enough, you can spend 50 Murmuring Obols to gamble for unique helmets at the Purveyor of Curiosities. The drop rate of unique items is extremely low using this method, but it is still a fun and viable way of acquiring some gear and crafting materials.
