Diablo 4 Player Gets World First Andariel's Visage, Fans Compare Drop Rate to Other Near Impossibilities

ign.com:

As the debate about the chances of getting Diablo 4’s most powerful and rare items rages on, one player has confirmed the world first drop of the Andariel's Visage super rare unique item.

WowHead reported a Diablo 4 Barbarian called YesYou was the lucky recipient of the coveted helm. Polish streamer NadinWins subsequently shared the drop on YouTube, showing off its powerful, one-of-a-kind Life Steal modifier.

The player behind YesYou, called Lithie, is the first in the world the community knows about to get Andariel's Visage. As Blizzard recently confirmed, there are currently six of these super rare unique items in the game, and only a handful of finds have surfaced since Diablo 4 went live earlier this month.

Given the hundreds of millions of hours Diablo 4 has already been played for, the drop rate of these six items is clearly miniscule, causing many in the community to call on Blizzard to take action. In the meantime, amid these eye-catching item finds, players are comparing super rare unique item drop rates to other real-life impossibilities to highlight just how pointless any grind for them is.

“You're vastly more likely to die falling out of bed than to get Shako,” said redditor Shaka Walls of the all-powerful Harlequin Crest (Diablo players have nicknamed this unique helm Shako). "Yeah, the odds are that I get killed by a shark with a golden AK-47 before I drop one of those, and I ain’t no casual," joked Sauvadurbuz.

Other players have insisted you have a better chance of winning the lottery than obtaining one of Diablo 4’s super rare unique items. “It's just not going to drop for you,” Shaka_Walls continued in the post that has so far had over 3,000 upvotes. “The chances are effectively 0%. Stop wasting your time.
