There seems to be a serious problem with the Veiled Orb drop rate

I'm a user who usually does Veiled Orb Farming

On average, I could do 10 kills of boss = 1 to 3 orbs

but As a result of playing after the latest patch

I played for over 20 hours yesterday and today

I killed boss more than 20 times didn't drop a single Veiled Orb

No matter how low the drop rate is, there seems to be a problem with this because it's a system problem

I don't understand this situation because I've been playing all the time

I have no reason to play this game if I put my time and effort into it and it doesn't drop

Of course it may be because I'm unlucky, but it's not a very low probability item like Mirror of Kalandra, is it??

The official wiki also says that the Veiled Orb drop rate is 30%. This is also a drop that's almost like my regular play

Please check if there is a problem with the system as well. I don't feel the need to play this game in this condition

Don't call it an "official" wiki.

GGG may help support it, but they don't provide the info that is listed there.

The drop rate of a veiled orb is not a raw 30%. There is evidence that it scales with the level of the fight. I believe 30% is for i84 Catarina, i.e. if you are doing at least 1 t17 syndicate encounter to contribute to the fight.

Lower level Catarinas have lower drop chances.

Suppose you're doing ones that have a 20% drop rate. Not getting one in 20 fights is still greater than 1% chance to happen. 1% may be low, but it's not "it must be broken" low.

EDIT: I actually looked at the wiki now, and I see that the data claims 30% for 78+. However, it is from April. It's highly likely the rate has been tweaked since then.

Got a 16t 30 hours and 40 boss kill and still not dropped
You don't admit there's a problem

Somehow you gain 20 boss kills and 10 hours of playtime in 5 hours?

There are many possible problems.

The odds that the problem is "veiled orbs don't drop after last patch" is similar to those of winning the lottery.

Option 1) You are very unlucky

Option 2) Your filter is hiding the veiled orb

Option 3) Your filter is merely not highlighting the veiled orb and you didn't notice it

Remember, the drop rate for the veiled orb that you quoted is old data, and the rate was almost certainly changed.

In the start of Settlers league, I killed Catarina 8 times with zero veiled orbs. Another player I know got 1 orb in 10 kills. These anecdotes are not enough to be statistically significant, but neither are your 40 kills.

Do you know how many kills it takes to accurately pinpoint a 30% droprate? Thousands. Possibly 10s of thousands.

A string of 40 or even 100 "misses" is not enough to say there's a problem.

All that completely aside, let's assume veiled orb drops *are* actually broken at the moment. Do you think it would be a wise use of GGG's resources, 3 days before the early access launch of Path of Exile 2, to try and investigate reports of missing drops in PoE1?

PoE2 already has more preorders for early access than most AAA game sell in their first year. All available resources are surely being devoted to that game instead.

While it's sad for PoE1 players, we almost certainly won't get anymore fixes before the next league launch, which is currently estimated to be in February.
