maps drop rate
|
I think if we all started at the beginning of Act II and went through to the end, as we would have our first time through Merciless, we'd get to the endgame with a nice stash of maps.
It's probably pretty good where it's at, and actually may have too high of a drop rate, although I'd like to see it stay where it's at for a while to get people stocked up (to emulate the stock that would exist if we had all run through Act II with maps dropping).

I confirm that with quantity 80% and alterating maps to get them larger and with more mobs im able to gain more maps than i use.(got to lvl 67 map) Still, the piramid dtop rates are rather low (from what i read in chat). It wont be a problem in the long run because there will be a decent supply of maps from people that are running maps already so they will be reasonably easy to buy in time. I have sold 10+ maps today for 3 alchemy each but the prices will drop shortly im sure. Not sure this is intentional but with current state people that figure out alterating maps and stacking quantity will be becomming richier due to relatively more difficult map farm in piramid. Eventually there will be so many maps around that this gain wont be very significant.

till lvl 70... 1 map in Pyramid... after... whole Saturday
1 Dune map ---> 0 maps whole Sunday... 1 Dune map in pyramid 1 Dune map (66% larger area) ---> 1 groto map ---> 0 maps Stucked in pyramid again... bored... new character This is not "Endgame content"... this is more like... PRETTY RARE, PRECIOUS, 1 map a day run (if ur lucky). Probably got 30 skill gems, 15 alchs, several regals... even a regret... etc.... by the time i found a normal 60 dune Drop should be increased... and by increased i mean not doubled... but something by tripled... And please stop talking bullshit that the drop rate is fine... and that you get TONS of maps... wanna trade them ? .. guess you dont need 50 maps in ur stash... when ur finding more than you can use... but no... noone is trading them, and you know why ? .. cause when when ur luck drops down you stuck in the pyramid at lvl 70 killing 15 levels lower monsters... and get BORED as HELL.... that's what happens. PS: by the way... killed act 2 boss like 10 times... no drop of a map AT ALL !! Last edited by twiztedmind#6924 on Aug 5, 2012, 4:49:35 PM

Agree, drop rate definitely is not fine- farming for a map = BAD, runing a map = FUN. So- why do I have to spend few hours to get ONE map??
First of all- how about a quest- with a map as a reward (daily? or repetitive) Then- make a chain- the boss will drop +1 lvl map- it will keep me playing (FUN) not farming (NOT FUN) ps. I'm playing DoT ranger, just wonder if dropping rate for degeneration damage has been fixed..? Found ONE map so far, 65 lvl.. gimme back chaos!! ign: Ron

" Seems to me you need high +quantity to keep up map supply. at ~100% and running maps with a good chance to find new maps (+mobs/+area/+quantity) I have a good success rate. Part of the problem tho is with all that quantity actually seeing maps on the ground can be quite hard. my issue is getting higher level maps. I seem to get a few higher level ones then they only drop lev 60 maps. bleh! Chrome plugin for inventory/crafting: http://njs50.github.com/poe_ext/

20% item quantity:
I've farmed Pyramid for 10 hours over the past two days. Zero maps. I'd farmed Fellshrine for about 15 for the 3 days prior to that. Zero maps. Found a 16% quality viper strike gem and traded it for a lvl 60 white map. Found three maps in there. Cleared two of the three maps I found in the first map so far. Zero maps. Down to 1, worried I'm going to clear it and not find another. Not really complaining, just sharing my experience. I don't think we should be swimming in maps, but it just feels a bit off at the moment. |

I think the map rate is fine. I admit It took from 61-63 to find another map running through the pyramid, but once I stacked 75%+ quantity, I never had a problem finding more. With sufficient quantity, I was able to build up a stash of 10-15 maps, while trading weaker alch rolls. It was a sacrifice at first to stack that much but it was worth it.
Trying to run the maps with lower quantity just caused me to waste through the maps without success. It was much more beneficial to get more quantity, and go through harder maps at a slower pace than to plow through easier ones faster. Once doing that, I had an excess of maps and never had to go back to the pyramid. |
