These still drop plentifully. Make sure your filter's not hidin 'em.

Hello,

for quite a few days at least I have noticed that I did not get ONE SINGLE Orb of Alchemy from drops. I think I got some from a Blight Chest and an Arcanist Strongbox. Can be wrong though.
I have, though, not seen any Orb of Alchemy drop anywhere else.

No, my Filter is fine. I did not hide them. I also ran multiple maps without a lootfilter to double check, also ran completed maps while holding ALT.

They are gone.

I am not sure about other currencies but Scourings and Alts seem also to only drop from either Necropolis Mods, Altars and Rares with Currency-Convert.

They were replaced with Orbs of Binding. /s

No but seriously, put Orbs of Binding on your filter and see what I mean!

Have you tried running white/blue maps? Maybe the increased rarity of what you're running is so strong, it's just skipping right over orbs of alchemy (as I'm sure you know, map+player iir won't affect strongboxes).

You may want to check to make sure single drops of alchs are highlighted with your filter. Some premade filters will only show or only highlight stack sizes of a certain minimum. Even with disabling filter, they can be hard to see if you're not changing the label with a decorator.


Alchs have been dropping for me.

No issues here either. I am doing strongboxes last week or 2 so my counts are inflated now, but I have seen alch drops in the map from random mobs before I even touch the strongboxes and not associated with any league mechanic as I blocked all I could. Currently have 2k alchs in tab and I alch and scour my maps to roll them (so used over 1k this league). Bought zero from trade.

In league start/slower environment, it can be very sparse. But all currency is sparse unless you're buying it or running content that can drop it. You probably have virtually no GCP drops either, but you're not spending GCP on your maps. In league start I vendor a lot of uniques to build up my alch buffer and then eventually will sustain by either running content that drops my raw currency or rolling maps higher for quant boost to see more drops, including alchs.

Still not getting any of the core currency.
Please let us casual players also take part in the game.

Let me update:

For about a week this issue is resolved.
It was NOT my filter. As other players also stated, even running without a filter did not show any low crafting currency. This problem was active for about 3 weeks.

Any kind of added content still created that currency. I was only talking about any kind of normal game feature. Not League Mechanics.

I am still very sad and mad that GGG didn't ever respond to this.

maybe you don't have enough rare mobs? white mobs are very unlikely to drop alchs

For a few maps, ya sure can happen.
But not about 3 weeks in a row.
Now all is dropping like usual.
Stated everything multiple times. Only from side-content

fresh ssf act 8
didnt found single one. I cant buy my gems :(

edit: act 9 still no luck.
i had to check my loot filter 3 times :D.

edit2: end of act 9, i guess i found an alchemy (not sure because i was selling uniques etc)...
i guess i got it after throwing my level 4 quicksilver flask. it must be irrelevant i guess.

edit3: act 10, got my second alchemy, i guess it start dropping.
