I’ve been trying to get Mundunugu’s boots playing the whole day. About 12 hours now. Everything else drops but no Mundunugu. I use Kadala and the upgrade rare item from the cube. Not 1 Mundunugu’s boots. But 6 arachnyrs, 8 blackthorn (remove this set from the game), 8 zumimasa, 4 jade harvester, 10 helltooth.
0 Mundunugu’s Dance
I did spend 2 rounds on head gear. 0 Mundunugu.
I have the shoulders, the gloves and the chest piece.
Not a single additional mundunugu drop at all.
That’s HC, but same with my SC barbarian and the wastes set.
Sitting at 4 set pieces with the barbarian and 0 additional drops.
This can’t be normal behaviour.
I’m burning out on this.
Last blood shard attempt:
out of 30 , 5 were set items, 1 legendary
1 jade harvester,
1 arachnyr
2 helltooth
1 blackthorne
1 fire walkers
Drops, when green boots drop I get my hopes up, only to have it crushed by this RNG, it’s either Zunimasa or Blackthorne when it comes to drops.
Something is wrong.

You can also use the Skill of Nilfur… it converts a set piece to a piece of the same set. So, if you have 2 Mundunugu’s gloves for example, you can try to get the boots using that recipe. The Mundunugu’s set has 6 pieces… so you have one in six chance of getting the boots. The cost (10 Death Breath + 10 Forgotten Souls) isn’t too bad either.
Good luck.
Actually, the Cube recipe that converts a set piece never gives you the same piece that you put in as the resulting output, so in a set that has six pieces available, you have a 1 in 5 chance of getting the piece you want.
Yes mate alot is wrong with RNG. You are not the only 1 with this problem…

Yup that is the god of rng for you. Actually 4th recipee of the cube, as the previous guys mentioned, is the best way to get the item for you. In an old season i spent tones of materials and kadala shards to get a desired shield for the crusader. I came this close of quitting the game. I even got 4 primal shields along the way but not the one i needed. It was that bad…
Luckily this season i set up my mundu quite fast but from that point the rng became attrocious. 8 out of 10 wd drops are helltooth. Also think of the 30 most useless, garbage, worthless items in the game that get insta-salvaged. Well, yeah i got them all in primals. Today, i found 2 primals for mundu in 2 consecutive gr runs. So i have bittersweet feelings.
Good to know that many are still having same issue with RND. The biggest problem with this game is too many useless items that nobody ever use. I mean who use Blackthorn set or Fletcher pride off hand for DH or Ouroboros neck? There are so many items that nobody care.
As I mentioned in the past posts for many years, they need to put only things that will be useful and get rid of all the junks. I spent hours clearing my stash every time. 99.9% of the drops are all useless. Yesterday I was running GR 90 for 4 hours and I get 1 item useful enough to keep it.
I have been trying to get ancient version of glove for my necro, not even primal ok. And used up at least 20k shards and not a single ancient for Inarius. Got a few regular one now and then of course but all useless. So starting get to get fad up and tried the expensive option to reduce the random. So finally got the one I needed after using materials from at least 5-6 bounty runs. It is not even near good enough 830 Intel, 857 Vit, 8.5 CC, Reroll the other one to 47 CD but that will do for now.
If you have 100 boots, 1 in 100 chance of getting it, right? If you have 50 of them, 1 in 50 chance. Simple logic really. On top of that, you got quality (normal, ancient or primal) and random stat. So RND within RND and it is such a nightmare. Try to get DH off hand like Holy Point Shot and you will need a miracle to get Vit, CC, AS and lighting or ice rune. Also do you notice that you get a chance of getting the same item twice from the same location, even map is the same now. Get the same map twice.
i have found 3 primal holy point shots in my entire diablo life and they were all worse than normal lengendaries cause of the bad rolls…Same with some crusader shields and flavors of time…That is the most anti-fun thing in the game for me, cause you firstly get hypped when a primal drops, you get even more hypped when you see it is the one that fits your build and then you identify it to see it gets 4 crappy affixes…
I think by now at least blackthorne should be viable in some builds. I am not saying make it the top build or anything like that but having a “universal” set that is decent at least for some average tier rifts wouldnt be the worse idea in the world. As for the worthless items, i guess they have their use, for a the first couple of days, when you just wear whatever the game gives you cause you don’t have anything better. But yeah after that it is not something you wanna see again. So if they removed them, and instead yellow or blue items took their place, all the other legenderies would be more meaningfull.
This season the game just wants me to play helltooth so bad. I am at a point where i even get discouraged to pick up a green item cause i know that it is gonna be helltooth. I was lucky the first days when the season started and got mundunugu in no time along with barber and the other items that compliment the build but then it all started falling appart. lol…
Also in the last few months i 've also grew to hate Myriam - the artisan that you enchant items. Everytime i have to enchant something i am this close to putting my fist through my screen. 50 tries to get something that i need out of a pool of 4 possible affixes. It’s not like the cost is high or anything like that, but come on woman… if i roll a dice 100 times i am about to get a good number… get your **$% together. lol
All jokes, aside, and i hope that it helps some is not overusing the cube recipe number 2. I will be gathering my materials as the season goes on and by the end i will try this recipee on only a couple of slots. Usually the weapon is my top priority and then an off-hand or an amulet or something like that. I don’t think it is worth using this recipe on torsos, pants and stuff like that. I know that a primal torso will be 20 strength stronger than my ancient. That is like 4 paragons worth of progress. Not even gonna make a difference. However a primal weapon is a big deal. As is a good amulet for example. It doesn’t have to be primal, i will take a good ancient too if the stats are correct. Same deal with quadfecta gloves. And also by the end of the season all stars may align and you get some of your desired primals by drops so it would be a waste to use cube too soon. So i will be using recipe number 3 and 4 in the beginning to set up my build and thankfully nowdays any build even with poorly rolled stats can farm high torments. Then i take it to mindless farming, hopefully better versions of ancients start to drop and when i am about to close the season i will be spending my mats on just a couple of slots to get the ideal item. I have around 1200 mats so that 's almost 250 reforges.

Well the plan is do rifts and kadala till you get a piece from the set you dont need
then do the cube recipe until you get the piece you want.
Then go do bounties non stop till you upgrade that piece to ancient.
then grind GR levels that are for the most part trivial so you can level a gem .
At which point after banging away at Random drops.
Rolling the dice for a random chance to get what you want from Kadala
Doing monotonous bounties over and over so you can .
Roll dice at the cube to try to get an ancient you can use.
So you can spend more time doing monotonous low level GR runs to level gems.
And there you are ready to do what you were hoping to do which is play with the same gear that every other person on the leader boards have…
But at this point do you really want to . …
Season over…
The place the game never should have gone…
Make a character the devs have sanctioned that is identical to every other of that class .
Collect the same gear as everyone else .
spend 90% of your time doing tasks you don’t want to do, hoping that you can compete with the other clones who have their dev allocated gear already.
Only to find you don’t like the game anymore … why would you? you are burnt out doing the errands you didn’t want to do.
And that’s why the game is so Bot heavy. Amazing when you ponder that bots mostly swarm games to make money.
In diablo they are totally there to bypass all the mind numbing, boring and time sink content nobody wants to do .
I fully understand the botter and hold nothing against them.
