Solar gem of MRR cap has eluded me

[Summoner]

I have been farming this gem for atleast half a year... or so it seems

Must have opened close to 60 chests in rare spawns.

It says on the wiki that it drops from rares...

Have anyone found one?

Can you confirm it drops from the normal rednamed rares?

 

[Estravenne]

I must be close to 80 hunting for this augment, as well. Getting close to ransack on several chests.

 

[Summoner]

I just wanted to add there is an augment set from Strahd that gives the same.
So if you have enough runes you might be better of doing that.

 

[Estravenne]

Thank you for the Strahd recommendation.

Out of curiosity, have you seen the sneak attack dice solar augment drop while you were chasing the MRR cap one?

 

[Summoner]

No. Never seen any gems from the red named rares chests.

 

[Reaped and Ravaged]

I got the sneak attack augment. I seem to recall it coming out of a quest chest after I had killed about several dozen wilderness rares and ransacked the dragon chest, which yielded the mental ring for me.

They do drop, got one of each after opening something like 200+ chests. Like much stuff from this expansion, the drop rate is abysmally low. Being in the wilderness are make it much worse since we cannot increase the difficulty and hence, the drop rates.

I actually got this gem yesterday, I think from Vargouille opt. But it should drop from any rare.

I believe it is not on the rare list.

You should have a 1/125 chance to loot it in a redname chest.
(10% chest x 1/8# items)

Ask friends for this one and check the AH it's tradable.

Thank you. I really appreciate yours and other people's thoughts on this. I've been checking the AH on Orien pretty regularly but haven't seen it.

I'd half convinced myself that it was on the rare list, so a 1/400 chance. 1/125 feels much more doable to me.

There are actually two solar sneak attack augments. Damage and dice. If yours came from a quest, it's *probably* +3 to damage from Death Hosts This Banquet, rather than the +3 to die that drops from the wilderness.
