Rare Elites Overview

Last Updated:August 5, 2024|Changelog

Rare Elites are special enemies in the world of Diablo 4. They drop unique Rare Items that have fixed properties on them with a set range. Some of these items contain properties that you otherwise could not find on normal items, making them interesting finds to place a Legendary Aspect on for your build. Let's take a deeper look at where to find them and what to expect when killed.

Mechanics

Rare Elites spawn in specific places in the world. They always have the same name, elite affixes, minimum level and have a 33% chance to drop the same specific Rare Item. You can farm them repeatedly to acquire a specific drop with better rolls and at higher rarity tier of Sacred or Ancestral. You may need to wait 5–10 minutes for respawns, depending on the amount of people in the area and if you are part of a group or not.

The Rare Item can be modified in the same way you modify other Rare Items. With their low vendor sell value, they are extremely cheap to Enchant. They can potentially roll double properties to stack huge amounts if desired. In addition, they can be Imprinted with a Legendary Aspect, just like other Rare Items.

Due to their unusual stats, some of them may be useful for your build, allowing out-of-the-ordinary gear combinations and min/maxing. This can make a well rolled and extremely high Item Power drop worth a lot of gold!
