I know that different uniques have different limits, and that higher level zones have a greater chance at dropping higher potential uniques.

Is there a list anywhere for each unique's maximum potential? For example, can The Fang roll 4 potential, or is it limited to 1 or 2 or 3?

I'm sure this is a common question, so my apologies if this has been answered before. I didn't see any other posts when I checked.

No, it is technically possible for Ravenous Void to drop with 4LP. It's just so rare that it's not practically possible.

As far as I'm concerned, it's not technically possible and saying otherwise to OP is stupid.

I think it's an important signpost example. If RV is technically possible to be found with 4LP as one of the rarest LP items, then so are the other ones. So, from a strictly technical standpoint, RV is possible to drop with 4LP. There isn't anything which explicitly prevents it.

I get the impulse to say that it is technically impossible because it is practically impossible, however because they are looking for information regarding the system as a whole, I think it is important to be precise.

It's rare enough that you shouldn't plan to have a Legendary Ravenous Void in your build, let alone a 4LP version. I don't know what the actual numbers are off the top of my head but the chance is low enough that as humans, we can't properly comprehend how low the chance is.

Sounds like we're fighting Boltzmann entropy!
Suppose one had been playing continuously since the Big Bang: is there a greater than 50% probability that a 4LP RV would have dropped by now? Because I'm totally willing to skip to another branch of the multiverse if necessary.

Lol I don't have the numbers easily available. I also feel like people generally lose their ability to properly comprehend the size of numbers in a situation like this around 1 million.
