@vasan
Well i could start putting the alt,alch ,chaos drop only in 3 new seperate columns ( afte the mirror column ) for those of you who are interested in that info. Would that be good enough? That's all i can think of at the moment. Maybe you can propose something better? And if you can, please do so ^^ @galuf Absolutely, and that's why i run with some MF while i still get pretty much optimal clear speed because i 1-shot pretty much everything. If i go full MF my clear speed and my survivability will suffer. "I'm going to show you pain you never knew existed, you're going to see a whole new spectrum of pain!!!!! Like a RAINBOW!"

Interesting data KorgothBG.
Do you try to sell any of the rares you identify? If so, have you kept track of how much currency you generate by selling? |

No, I wasn't been able to sell any. Sure, there were rares that couldve been sold for a chaos or two, but it would've taken way too much time and stash space. But that's just me ... usually I try to avoid trading as much as possible.

GGG admited already that they are tweaking the drop rates on the fly .
Which means , you did some runs and collected some data - good for you . Tomorrow if GGG feels like the drop rates are too high or low , this data will not be usefull . Maybe they changed the drop rates yesterday , you won't even know it . Oh yeah before you say something like " this is not true " , think about why would they let us figure out the casino odds ? Yep you guessed it , never going to happen . Remeber the data mining and how quickly they delt with it ? Exactly . R.I.P 4.B. Last edited by tryhardgg#7333 on Feb 14, 2016, 5:00:53 AM

Well of course that is true though the only confirmation of a radical currency drop rate change was given once for exalts. In any case I plan on tracking my drops when I farm for ... well ... as long as I farm, and if nothing else the results will remain as a way to compare the average drops for runs 100 - 350 to runs 500 - 650. If any significant drop change occured then the result will reflect that don't you think?
And again i keep track of my drops for me above all else. It makes the farming more fun and looking at the accumulated wealth for a given amount of time gives me a bit of that sweet feeling of accomplishment.

I like this. Thanks a lot for taking the time to put this together and share with us. I just may attempt something similar when I start playing again. I've never done a toon geared for any amount of mf however.

Well pretty much all of my mf comes from the iir and iiq gems and from my windripper. Basically it's a completely normal non-mf build and gear but with the gems.

" Strange, I have around a stack in my inventory haha. I can't seem to get divine orbs, but always get blessed. " Talk about conspiracy theory-crafting. So you're against any empirical collection due to suspicion of dramatic changes constantly? Wouldn't this be evident in his data collected if those "casino odds" were to change? Also I really cannot imagine why you would want to compare GGG's currency decisions with that of a "casino" based odds system. You sound like you're either venting about some other issues or you are very misguided in your assessments of reality. I'd suggest being a bit more analytical of your thoughts- and I mean that in the most sincere way; we all have bad habits in regards to thought analysis, and it took me forever to question things that I was "certain" about. |

Hi and thanks a lot for this data.
I am playing this awesome MF build from Serleth : https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1291803 in Talisman and have been using a similar method to farm currency with good success. I am running t1-t6 map and even though I am not tracking thoroughly I can say for sure that I make more alts and chaos per map (close to 20 alts per map and 2 chaos per map) which is completly normal since I have much more iir (349% iir / 18% iiq + distillate for boss). I don't see the data for Chromatic Orb even though you should be getting a lot of them if you pick up every item that is sellable for a chrom. Another thing is you don't seem to do the chisel recipe that is definitly worth it in my opinion (and to a lesser extend the gcp recipe). Finally I would add that there is a really small cost with this method : you have to buy wisdoms (or portals / transmuts / scraps) because you will use more than what you pick up (self sustaining map on the other hand is really easy as you said). Anyway thanks again for this awesome data, I am always trying to improve the currency that I get per hour and this kind of tracking is really helpful. One of the thing that I was thinking doing is to start picking up all white agate amulet / leather belt and sorcerer boots to sell them but it could be too time consuming to be really worth it. Gl hf farming those maps. Last edited by leogzz#6709 on Feb 15, 2016, 10:42:45 PM
