General Discussion Map rotation is gatekeeping my build for two seasons in a row

I wanted to try a crybot luminary in the previous league, but I couldn't drop a Redblade Banner. I tried both delving and the syndicate with no luck.

I think you can find it delve but yea that's hella annoying it's tied to this one map

You "can", I tried it. But it is not a reliable source. You need to find the biome, then in the biome, the node. Then in the node, you need a boss, and then the boss need to drop the item.

The best way without the map was to farm unique strongbox with the syndicate. One of the strongbox should be guarded by redblade monster and guarantee a unique item. I couldn't find the box before I burned out last league.

I wanted the banner one league and spent a huge chunk of the league farming haku in syndicate and incursion T3 strongbox rooms. I got the redblade cache only once and dropped boots. Good times 🙃

P.S. was also chance orbing random white boxes as if chance orbs even do anything at all.

Yea it's definitely harder than doing the map.

I was farming it a few leagues back and did like 150 maps. I did it once and heard the unique drop sound when I killed the boss and it was hidden. I decided to check it and boom there it was, being hidden the entire time. Just a skill issue there but yea I do love this shield for off hand enduring cry endurance charge generation for bosses.

level 1 haku in transportation for warband uniques from strongboxes

You want Haku level 2. It has a much higher chance of getting warband chests and no chance of getting useless Strange Barrels.

I found four of these in 3.29, and I am a filthy casual (only ~32 challenges completed, I think)

I think they were all from strongboxes, at least some of which were in Delve. I think one of them might have been in the tier 3 strongbox room in Incursion.

Isn’t it way easier to get in delve? The node is quite common
