Is gambling even a valid option?

Hi there

gambling for snakebite gloves pointless attempt so far. Playing SSF by the way. Hows your experience with gambling vendor?

I've never seen a Unique. But if you're SSF there are not a lot of options.

Uniques are really tough in SSF. You have to play a lot of characters and just do a ton of maps to collect uniques.

In my experience in POE 1, the way to do this was to design characters around the uniques you HAVE rather than try to get the one you want.

My exception was really wanting to play Mjollner. I gambled (in POE 1) and got incredibly lucky (although it was a marginal rolled hammer) and had an absolute blast.

So it can go either way. Gold is easy to farm, and doesnt have a lot of use outside of gambling.

I have gotten a unique once in all the gambling I've done. Low odds, as you would expect. But low isn't zero.

Of course, the better item you're looking for, the lower the odds of getting something as good or better.
