Fun fact thanks to the 25% of rares being upgraded to exalted items rank perk its significantly more effective to buy the rare dagger propehcies for exalted items lol. Frozen Sentinel did a whole excel sheet video guide going over it.
even more interesting from his findings, corruption has no influence on drap rates / quality from these prophecies only on the amount of favor you get from killing monsters
So if there is a prophecy that says kill Boss in any monolith...and all I really care about is the item and speed I can go do the non empowered version superfast and it wont effect the quality of the drops? @@AmUnRA256
Great guide as always! Also when new Prophecies roll, additionally to the Icons you can take a look at the size of the red glow-effect above the icon. The "intensity / size" should tell you if it is a big reward or small reward. Could save time as well.
Hey Raxx, great video. Just wanted to mention there is also a "rare dagger" prophecy that is significantly more cost efficient for getting exalts than the exalt prophecies, thanks to 25% chance to convert rares to exalt on drop. Not worth only targeting this since there is only 1 of these prophecies out of iirc 81 total in the weapon region, but they are good to grab if you get it.
A big tip from a bad experience is: if you are stacking prophecies for items that take up alot of inventory space and complete at the start or middle of a dungeon...don't get too many or you would have to pick and choose which to keep to the end of the dungeon.
Rax you are genuinely a fantastic content creator. I was considering mothballing the game for a bit and now I can't wait to go play again and test this out! Thanks man.
Spent all of my time since release under CoF banner. Must have burned through like 500k favor. Nearly burned myself out on the game because I couldn't get fucking ANYTHING I needed to drop. As with many others here, my build requires boss uniques. No idea why EHG decided to leave boss uniques COMPLETELY OUT of the CoF modifiers, but it is a horrible oversight or decision. No Twisted Hearts with even 1 LP. Only a few Ladles with just 1LP nothing higher. No LP Static Shell, or Prismatic Gaze, Blood boots, or Fragment of the Enigmas. Tried to farm unique rings for what felt like the better part of two weeks to try and get Red Rings.... not a single one. So I said F this crap and switched to MG last night because CoF just wasn't working for me. Maybe if they change CoF Prophecies to also affect BOSS UNIQUES, I might give it another shot. Until then.... NOPE.
And for those that wonder how to get so much favor, increase monolith corruption! Favor is earned based on the exp of the enemy you slay, so higher corruption = higher exp = more favor.
Made my first merchants guild character, would love to see a guide on playing that faction or even just watch your experience making a character on it :)
The one hole it feels like Prophecies have compared to Trade is you can't really target a boss drop. Trying to farm something like a Twisted Heart, CoF just doesn't help you. It would be nice if instead of the current Level 9 reward (the whole set drops at once) it would give some kind of boost to boss drop percentages, since no one really cares much about set drops.
I've been doing this for a while now and there is one "downside": I wanted to get a Torch to get a good legendary for Alts. I stacked those high scepter unique prophecies (like 8 scepters every 3 exiled mages, can be procced 6 times or something like that). Then the first time I procc it a 4LP Torch dropped. :D So don't overinvest in one item, the double/double lenses are superstronk
Probably gonna get flamed for this but I'm gonna say it anyway. I felt like the actual combat, gameplay and mob AI is better in D4. The mobs in this game just kinda hover over to you and yell at you, idk what it is about them but they just feel boring. Also kinda sucks that they leash after a relatively short time so you cant group up massive packs of mobs to just completely detonate them all in one shot.@@natel7382
Raxx Thanks for the video, as always you are extremely educational! I want to ask you if this also works for unique items droped only for final Timeline bosses ? Any clue?
Raxx, I do appreciate your content, as always, but I think those people who do not know this are those who don’t have access to these lenses which unlock at lvl 5 or especially, lvl 8 or 9. Realistically, if you play an hour a day you have hard time reaching even lvl 7 or 8. So those who blast multiple hours a day and reached lvl9 COF I doubt they have not heard about this. Just a side note how funny the term endgame is-I would assume this term is used when you stop playing, you are done, it is an end of a game. Perhaps late game would be more appropriate?
Question, if you get a unique propephy for daggers in a timeline that doesn't drop the unioque can it still drop that unique? For Example: Monolith Reign of Winter Reward: 4x Unique Daggers Can blast knife still drop? Or does it have to be reign of dragons?
OK but 4LP dagger is 0.024%, with CoF it's 0.05%, statically one 4LP every 2000 drops, 2x4LP and 4x3LP we are talking ~5000 daggers. Have you found that many daggers or have you been lucky or is there another way to jack up drop rates?
I got a few 80+ lvl characters now and Ive never even spent time with Prophecies outside of when you go through the Campaign, I kind of forgot about them LOL imma have to get on that.
Great video! Currently farming exalts for some slams! 💣Quick question: Is there a diffenerence in the outcome if you slam an item on T3 or T4 temporal dungeon?
I keep a list of uniques I find and their LP. I’ve found 224 Jelkors. 0 LP4. 0LP3. 14 LP2. 98 LP1. That gives us an idea on how hard they are to get good LP. I’m guessing being a popular streamer might be getting a little help from the game
any reccommendations for boss specific uniques? to my knowledge COF only gives you things from the general pool but if i need a peak of the mountain or something, i cant even rely on corruption to raise my chances
does this work also for "Apathys Maw " ? or only for rnd drops ? i think Apathys is only Boss drop right ? i am trying to farm it for days now only got it once without LP and i am running 300+ corruption and try to get as far as possible in the web to be as far as possible from the center but always ring drops ... any advice ?
Just a tip. How much favor you get is linked with how much experience you get, so doing the echos that reward experience tomés is godly for farm favor.
This. Xp tomes are huge, more spawn near the start of echos. Also pushing corruption is absolutely huge for favor. At 1k+ you can get thousands of favor per map. You can also take the xp blessing to increase favor from monsters (doesn't work on tomes)
Same here. I've got tons of 1 LP dagers, tens 2 LP and only 2 daggers with 3 LP. On the one hand, it seems like there are so many daggers and what a great chance you have of finding the right one among them, but this is not so. It's an illusion.
I ve found x2 dagger with LP 3 just fine. its about how much you spend favor and if possible level 10 for CoF. I ve spent 150k Favor on Dagger unique on 1 go just for lul (overkill) keep trying. Speed equal Loots.
This kinda makes me want to switch back to CoF but then i'd lose all my current gear. It seems like if your build is centered around a few random uniques with high LP then CoF is the way to go. For builds that use a lot of high LP boss/dungeon specific legendaries, MG is superior as long as you can generate the coin
Arent the Rare dagger prophecies also worth it? They are easier , give lots of daggers and there is a chance for them to be upgraded to exalted because of COF trait
I’m struggling with this squirrel build, don’t feel at 91 I should get one shotted as much as I randomly do :( I feel like I’ve hit all the key defensive stats I’ve read I need, and dodge most things… I don’t have “Ward” lego’s yet if that is still a broken mechanic in the game, that should help.
Helpful video. Thx. But regarding your 3lp and 4 lp daggers... thats just incredibly lucky. im round about 8 million favor in on dagger farms and didnt even get a single 3lp. Only 0, 1lp and 2lp.
I've spent about 250 hours in COF and I'm getting bored. Now I'm playing MG and I like it much more. COF is good for noobs or Dia3 players. It brings me more pleasure when I sell a gg item that I don’t need than when I get thrown a bunch of trash loot from prophecies
I wish you could actually sell the stuff on MG that you get from COF, but obviously that wouldnt make sense. Also wish itwas easier to switch between them so you could farm high corruption for MG money
You can’t find an item while in the CoF faction and then sell it in MG. Those factions exist to prevent that from happening. He mentioned MG just to express how valuable of a drop it was.
I feel a little sad, most of my build i want requires dumb uniques from bosses or shade specifically which this doesnt help, (aside from the exalteds to slam once you have the LP uniques)
99 percent of the drops from prophecys are 1lp or 0 ...? i dont understand what i got to do to start getting LP2 or 3...., i maybe get one lp2 every 100 drops :s and never the item i need, its always the same item over and over again ,
As filo said, xp tomes and corruption. 750 xp gained = 1 favor = 4 reputation (2 per favor earned 2 per favor spent), also xp tome reward seems to scale with your level and area level. I think it caps out at lvl 90 in 100 area level giving 1400 favor per echo reward.

Hello! What's interesting about daggers specifically is that there IS a rare dagger prophecy, most weapons don't have their own rare prophecy.

Ye we need a TP to town and keep the instance running change imo
@@TheGreatestLewis or open stash anywhere
You can use the forge to carry an extra item too
06:07 - those rare (daggers) from prophecies can also drop as exalteds, and it's pretty cheap. Sometimes I grap those also.

Thank you man so much! Love your guides! Hope for guide how to make good defense without ward. Like tipical shield and armor build.
Hope to see the Detonating arrow dagger guide in written form soon, thanks for the great content
He said he'd make one if it doesn't get nerfed into the ground next cycle
short, concise & to the point. thanks for the video dude.
Made my first merchants guild character, would love to see a guide on playing that faction or even just watch your experience making a character on it :)
will you revisit the ballista build or is it weak now?
It gets much stronger when you reach rank 10 in CoF. Because you even get double the rewards (dublication of prophecy rewards when you reach rank 10).
important to note that you get exact duplicates of the drops for that so even if you drop 1 4LP, you suddenly have 2 of those.
yep, you only have to be lucky one time :D@@kitsuams
The one hole it feels like Prophecies have compared to Trade is you can't really target a boss drop. Trying to farm something like a Twisted Heart, CoF just doesn't help you.

Every time I think "I don't want to play MG, but CoF sucks,". Raxx come up with a godly explanation of CoF that change this. Thank You.

AFAIK, boss drops are completely separate from Prophesy loot.
@@2_Bike_is_Life Thank you very much
Thanks for the advice going to save up my favour now and get this godly prophecies
why not buy 2x lenses for increased drop? To triple the reward
Raxx, I do appreciate your content, as always, but I think those people who do not know this are those who don’t have access to these lenses which unlock at lvl 5 or especially, lvl 8 or 9.

Question, if you get a unique propephy for daggers in a timeline that doesn't drop the unioque can it still drop that unique?
For Example:
Monolith Reign of Winter
Reward: 4x Unique Daggers
Can blast knife still drop? Or does it have to be reign of dragons?
I love the shade of oreos, you made my day. Much Love for you
Good guide, short and sweet. Nice.
OK but 4LP dagger is 0.024%, with CoF it's 0.05%, statically one 4LP every 2000 drops, 2x4LP and 4x3LP we are talking ~5000 daggers. Have you found that many daggers or have you been lucky or is there another way to jack up drop rates?

No. Only the level of unique it accepts. Lowest tier dungeon only take lvl 65 unique max.

Hi Raxx, I've been chasing the scurry helm and I've gotten no luck at all. Empowered (low corruption) monolith, and COF. Any tips?
Love your guides, this helped me so much
That's cute now do it with boss-specific drops
thanks for the advice, i was wondering which condition is the most annoying for me to block but seems not worthy to do that way
Does same type of prophecies stacks? for example %20 chance to find daggers but 2x or 3x?
Bro this guide is godly thnxs!!! Your a jet
Raxx, can you make another video showing us some live results from the strategy you cover in this video? I wanna see those 4LP items dropping lol.
He streams on twitch and TH-cam daily for hours, watch in real time :)
Can I use this for set items as well? I want "Lich's Scorn" which drops from Lich Formosus ONLY. Are there prophecies to double this or smth?

This helps a LOT
Thank you!
I'm looking forward to the Diablo 4 PTR.
does this work also for "Apathys Maw " ? or only for rnd drops ? i think Apathys is only Boss drop right ?
i am trying to farm it for days now only got it once without LP and i am running 300+ corruption and try to get as far as possible in the web to be as far as possible from the center but always ring drops ... any advice ?

i went Merchants guild on my first character but Circle looks like it will be more fun so I might swap :D
I've mostly leveled alts... I have 250k favor now because I have like 6-7 characters in empowered monoliths that hasnt finished the campaign
Ive been doing this strategy but i still never get any good LP items. Not sure how you ended up with 3 and 4 LP but grats!
Same here. I've got tons of 1 LP dagers, tens 2 LP and only 2 daggers with 3 LP. On the one hand, it seems like there are so many daggers and what a great chance you have of finding the right one among them, but this is not so. It's an illusion.

Its like you read my mind. I wish I didnt have so many uniques from Oreos though

this only works for the random drops uniques, right? If i need a unique that is dropped from timeline bosses the prophecies wont work, right?

That's the real secret right there.
Is there a good way to earn favor fast?
Call me stupid, but I don’t get corruption and how to increase it. Do I just run the same monolith over and over to increase it?
What are campaign events if I finished the campaign?
If you chose the Prophecy guild can you still sell with the merchants??

You can't sell things that you get from CoF in MG, right? Or did I misunderstand that?
yea you cant, he just meant that you can easily farm it here instead of playing the other guild and paying billions of gold

just sucks that prophecies are still bugged, i've had pretty bad luck with 0/8 ones in particular
Is there a way to optimally gather favor? I think I gather it very slowly

If an item only drops from one boss, can they also drop from the prophecies?
Except... you can't sell the daggers in the merchant's guild cuz it's bound to the COF? Or am I wrong ?
You are correct.
How do you sell these on the merchants guild if your part of the cof guild? Pretty mew to game still.
You can’t find an item while in the CoF faction and then sell it in MG. Those factions exist to prevent that from happening. He mentioned MG just to express how valuable of a drop it was.
@@jonathanosbaldeston8254 I see, thanks for clarifying.
What corruption level were you for the dagger drops?
Does it matter for prophecies?
of course not
Corruption doesn't matter for prophecy LP chance, it does get you more favor though which means more prophecies to grab

any tips to get fast favor?
high corruption XP farming (get that 10% blessing)
Bro, i was playing MG all along, but COF seems way more fun, and easy/cheaper to get equipment.
its a shame it takes so long to get 3 lenses slots - any good tips how to get CoF rep faster?
in monolith go for the xp tomes echos and try to farm higher corruption
As filo said, xp tomes and corruption. 750 xp gained = 1 favor = 4 reputation (2 per favor earned 2 per favor spent), also xp tome reward seems to scale with your level and area level. I think it caps out at lvl 90 in 100 area level giving 1400 favor per echo reward.
@@FrozenSentinel ok great didnt know its that good
Did COF afects mad alchemist ladel drop?
maybe if you got a prophecy for unique weapon that required killing mages but not sure.
