Description
I've been running various zones to farm Archon Staff on a character with almost zero MF and it doesn't drop at all. More than a 100 runs of Hell cows, Pits, Ancient Tunnels, River of Flame, Chaos Sanctuary, Abaddon, Pit of Acheron, Drifter Cavern, Icy Cellar, many terrorized zones... nothing, not even one drop of any kind.
I need a normal or superior base, no sockets, don't care about skills on it, as I plan to use one Larzuk quest to max socket it. But it seems it is more rare than most uniques for me, or am I just that unlucky?

It's rare, but it's not THAT rare. It's just RNG, as always.
I played a couple of hours of TZ yesterday and I found several Archon Staffs, 2-3 at least (didn't count). As the dumbass I am, I ditched them all cause I didn't stop to consider the possibilities with Obsession & Warlock. Ah well. I'll try to remember to keep them from now on. But I'm sure they'll stop dropping now that I'll be paying more attention

A plain Archon Staff is about a Jah on Traderie right now.
Plan A for many Warlock players seems to be to buy a Mang Song's Lesson to go down the fire route.
Plan B is making an Obsession for all (?) other Warlock builds. Archon Staff and Rune Staff are the ideal choices. ( War Staff might only get 5 sockets if it drops very early.)

Like all other Treasure Class 87 items, an Archon Staff can be quite elusive...
Whenever you see a Thunder Maul, Mythical Sword, Legendary Mallet, Hydra Bow, Caduceus, Giant Thresher, etc etc -- remember: it could have been an Archon Staff!

Funny enough, from that list, in that time I was farming for Archon Staff, I got at least two Mythical Sword and plenty of Hydra Bow / Giant Thresher with a few Legendary Mallet. I even got the all the runes for Obsession I was missing and planning to trade for. But not even one Archon Staff of any kind. Yeah, it could have been, hahahatadkarcz wrote: 2 hours agoLike all other Treasure Class 87 items, an Archon Staff can be quite elusive...

Thank you! I didn't know that this calculator exists. Quite useful.
Rare in general, yes.
Rare compared to other specific elite bases, not particularly.
But as we all know, the one you're currently looking for is always the rarest.
Even Mang Song's died down though as hardly anyone runs fire it seems.
And those few that do just keep sabotaging Baal runs by spamming that stupid aoe knockback the entire time...ugh...

Not quite. For most other builds, Obsession still isn't the top choice. Or even close. There are like 1 or 2 where it might be (close at least) but I have yet to see anyone run those.mikelessar wrote: 3 hours agoA plain Archon Staff is about a Jah on Traderie right now.

Ok, I see. Let's hope that the Mangs builds really die. Then the big Mangs flippers will have lost their bet and will remain on their piles of Mangs that they bought for Ists in the first hours and then offered them for 5-20 JahsSchnorki wrote: 1 hour agoRare in general, yes.

To be fair it's a super rare drop. Only ones with 15% fire are going for high amounts.mikelessar wrote: 1 hour agoOk, I see. Let's hope that the Mangs builds really die.

It's good that it's seeing some use now.
I still have an unid Mang Song's Lesson . Highest offer I got before putting it down was 2 Jah. I decided to keep it because I am still not sure what I want to play and one of my sons really likes the "Fire Nova"
After a 20 year break from D2 I started playing D2R in 2024 with my sons (9 and 10 years old)
