Expeditions: Rome — How to Find Unique Items in Act 1 and Act 2

In this article, I will teach you how to find items and bonuses in two stages of the game. The first is Act 1 while the second is Act 2.

The “investigate the massacre at the farm” is a quest that you will find in Act 1 and Act 2 of the game. This quest is unique because it requires you to investigate a massacre at an old farm.

Apart from companion armor pieces, you’ll find more unique items in Expeditions: Rome just by exploring, and some of these can truly make a build excel. If you’re wondering how to find the unique items in Act 1 and Act 2, wonder no more.

We’ve compiled a list of some of the most outstanding gear items we’ve come across in Acts 1 and 2. We’ll merely describe the bonuses that certain gear components have due to affixes and prospective upgrades. Keep our Expeditions: Rome unique stuff guide bookmarked as well, as we’ll continue to add to it as we find new gear.

Expeditions: Rome: Unique Armor, Weapons, and Accessories
