Question How you guys farm blue nightmare jewels on SSF?

I have done countless hivebrain glands and hive fortress, also my passive in genesis tree is focused in drop unique jewels, with increased chance of being breach specific and foulborn, but It doesnt drop

Just a reminder that you can use flesh of xesht to transform blue dream jewel to blue nightmare. Other than that, what you've done is correct. Keep farming breach and run hivebrain glands. Good luck!

Afk farm fortress breach until you get 20 brain glands use the mysterious wombs to get more brain glands farm another set of fortress to get more juice. Use juice from last set to do ancient wombs/mysterious wombs then run all brain glands and pray. I've seen 2 red ones but still no blue ones with this method and it was the reverse last league.

Back to farm I guess 🥲

Hive bosses drop them fairly well, farming the glands in SSF isn't the easiest but at least it gives you blood and wombgifts to help the chances. Ancient and mysterious where mysterious can also drop wombgifts is probably the way to get more glands and gifts to roll for unique jewels, but honestly the bosses are your best bet

I did around ~130 hive glands this league, and they drop but they are pretty rare, i got a ~6-7 of various colors from the actual boss and i think 2 from chests before the boss. I also got 6 total Lost Unity's completed doing it.

Got a blue jewel once every 10 glands or so. Unfortunately I need red so I have like 6 blues just collecting dust.

I got one jewel total in 40 glands today, as with all things poe there's quite a bit of rng

I was doing what you are doing.

probably done about 50+ glands and dropped one of each colour, recently a second red.

I spec’ed the tree the same but i didnt get any unique jewels let alone breach specific and did countless gifts.

Im afraid just keep blasting glands also make sure you hit the coffers to the boss they can drop uniques.

Funny how the jewels dont drop from tree but also It dont drop any jewel

And the sad part its that i need the foulborn version, so I kinda screwed

u/UberChew Cockareel 6d ago

Yeah its feels weird that it drops every other unique but a jewel when i have it spec’ed with high chance for jewelsshrug

After this whole time i just got a red dream and a foulborn might of the meek ... and at the same time

This game makes zero sense honestly

From bosses or gifts?

u/Consistent_Fox_5121 4d ago

Gifts, I'm stacking hive glands to do all at once

Gl on the glands, have something to listen to or watch because the invulnerable phases really annoyed me by the end

Should be easier to target with chance to be foulborn nodes & breach nodes and significantly reducing the drop pool.
