Arrowneous deserves a special title, how about "oni-goroshi goroshi"?

He is inexhaustible.

An achievement for killing Uber Hillock would be cool.

If you look at the Oni-Goroshi wiki entry there is a Rebirth divination card. But you have to get 27 to turn in for an OG. It lists 13 zones where the card can drop. In all my playing of PoE I have yet to get even 1 of these cards so GGG has foobar-ed their chance to drop but good and WTF on needing 27. That's never going to happen and GGG needs to make it a real farmable card like you can with Humility for a Tabula and same 9 quantity.

The OG wiki also has a link to a Reddit post: My final unique, Oni-Goroshi, which just went in. The first comment says "you'll drink my love until you can't". That's exactly what I was thinking when I first googled "oni-goroshi" and found out it's also an alcoholic beverage:



Oni-Goroshi, aka Demon Slayer, is the perfect name for this sword.

Edit: What would be a very cool twist would be for GGG to have the Oni-Goroshi be a 100% guaranteed drop item from UH if you are ≥ level 9. That would drive us crazy grinding into level 8. The higher you got the more you would not want UH to show up. I had to grind into level 9 (> 7.5 hours game time) on 4 exiles so GGG should make the pain of that amount of grind be a double reward.

Another wiki link lead me to The Goddess Swords Discussion. Has it really been nearly 6 years? The 24th December, 2017: 'Twas the night before Christmas...' part is an interesting read. Charan states the Oni-Goroshi is only 3 days old. He also said "I was actually level 8 when my first one dropped, which sucks." Today (after patch 3.2.0 nerf) we all laugh at that kwowing we routinely have to grind into level 8. Before the nerf my lowest level to get UH was just under level 6.

As for the pre Oni swords I only ever got 1 of them:

27 was my call. 3 x 3 x 3.

The rarity was not.

I have now collected 8 across 2 accounts since the Div Card was released.
The rarity, as you have noted previously, sucks.

Every league since it was put in I've always farmed 4. Takes me a week with the time I have available. I find it enjoyable for some odd reason, plus it gives me enough currency for multiple builds throughout the league. So thanks 鬼殺し

24:12:33 ... so just over a full day of farming across five characters -- and itr FINALLY dropped for me today!

So ... what's this league do? :-)

...if my first true gaming love had not come back from the dead, I would be doing the same. So much better than looking for the cards...

I find it relaxing. I like having a set of OG farmers around for when the Minotaur kills me until I run out of portals and I want to break my keyboard. In those times I can shut off the brain and get in some OG farming zen time while still being kind of productive from a "I want to make money so I can afford the gear to kill the endgame stuff" standpoint.

Just pulled down my second for the league yesterday:

Now you can run a Slayer or Champion Cycloner build and "spin to win".

Where's your sword pic, level and time to UH?
