There is no point to this game if i farm for days and nothing drops....

Farm for days? LOL

I farm for months and got nothing. This game is about collecting low level currency like chromes and jewellery orbs, if you actually want to find some good item - install Diablo 2

Not a rumor. Confirmed by Chris.

Rare orbs drop higher in lower level areas because some mid-range currencies are not on the drop table for lower levels.

Unless you want to believe Chris was bullshitting in his Reddit reply. Then you have your answer as to where the "rumor" started.

I always had this suspicion - doing short races I usually found much better loot faster, relatively compared to the same amount of time spent playing in later zones on ladder.

Currency has always been this way,at least as far as I can remember.

I would start legions of new characters and delete them when they finished the last boss on normal,then do it all over again.

This drop rates in this game is seriously getting ridiculous and if this is addressed me and lots of other players will leave this game for good..


Sick of farming 20 plus maps and all i have to show for it is a few scrolls and a few shity orbs...

and yes i have a shitload of IIR and IIQ dont come with me with that bullshit please...

Fix your disgusting drops please

What the average worth of drops per hour? If you get at least 30 alterations of worth per hour, you shouldn't be complaining.

Awwwwman fuck the lottery. I spend 30 years buying a ton of tickets every freaking week but had yet to strike it. Damnit!!!! NOOOOO!! The government should impose that if a person spends 10$ on lottery every week for 10 years, if he/she did not win any he can exchange the 520 used tickets for a $10,000,000. We need to be fair!!! NO RNG PLZZZ

lol'd

I understand that making a build around drops and still not getting a lot is hard, but it's RNG.

The thing is, let's say that ex drop rate is like 0.1%, me without any rarity i'll have like that chance of getting an ex drop, but you even with 400%, you will be have like what? 0.4%?

So yea the rates are so low that having a lot of rarity / quantity doesn't change a lot if you only farm for a few days. On the very long run, it will, but on the short term, it's just a matter of chance.

Even if they increase for exemple, the drop rates of high valuable orbs, there will be too many in the economy so their value will decrease, so at the end it wouldn't really change anything (would just make it worse), because yea, you will be getting 5ex in 2 days of farm, but shav will be 150ex?

And if they also increase the drop rates of items like shav, kaoms... Everybody is going to have one, so what's the solution? Increase the difficulty of the game for everybody to make it fair?
Then what about the players that still can't afford one?

For now, with your rarity/qty,let's imagine that you just got in those few days of farming like 3ex drops, what do you think you are going to do? You will just be able to afford a correct 5L chest OR wep.

The game is like this, deal with it, if you want an easy game, or even "better" a game where you don't even have to farm a lot to have the best gear, go to a P2W game :)

RNG are precise numbers. I find two gcps per month, so I need 10 month to upgrade a single gem. I find one white ezomite circlet per week, so how long it takes to alch a good one?

The game is designed in such way it will take years just to gear up one build. Except no one is going to play years for that

You forgot that those are crafting orbs as well. So people would craft items, what they don't do now

on my low level guy where currency drop rates are higher

Why do people actually believe in this rumor? x(

You have better chances of getting rare orbs at the beginning because you are more likely to be in the correct level bracket for an area, i.e. not yet affected by the drop rate penalty.

accoring to the poe wiki, you are never considered over level 68 (this could have been before maps came out, i don't know) so that would mean i'm fine being 78 in lunaris 3.
