I am full kitted in decent rares of my level in act 3, some crafted, some bought, some dropped. This is before the patch.

Stop rushing through the game trying to force maps like it's poe1 and try actually playing the game and enjoying it.

Umm, you do realize the campaign is a story right? And that people should be able to play through it at a reasonable pace?

Played a monk and my drops, gambles, and vendor items have been shit and because of that my items haven't been upgraded since about levels 5-8 even though I'm level 18, making me feel too underpowered to farm/finish the end of act 1 efficiently, and I'm so over leveled compared to the earlier levels that I'm not gaining any xp when I go back to them. So it's just a tedious slog for gear that I know is just gonna get thrown in the trash anyway later. I still haven't given up on the game because I think a few simple tweaks could fix it, but my day 1 experience was so miserable that I actually felt depressed when I logged off for the night

Become a content creator or something like that then you will be amazed of the loot you get because of that.

Then you will be one of those who is wondering why are there any complaints about the loot shortage. You will be telling the poor folks who either gets trash loot or nothing at all that the game is about skills, blah, blah and that you are not playing it right, etc.

For now, we just got to hope that things will get better.

in response to grab loot and dont apologize, you can make your loot stay permanently allocated to you in the game settings. i understand it isnt permanent by default, but anyone concerned about it can fix it

Even after that setting was changed loot is still wide open. Tested it a few times with bosses and in our group it was still first come first served; and some items that showed up as loot simply disappeared - yet no one admitted to picking the items up.

I want to feel that I can craft more leveling and not need to hoard orbs.
Make Loot Great Again

Drops are terrible indeed and the crafting system doesn't compensate for it. I am level 52 and have:

- lvl 39 bow
- lvl 51 helmet
- lvl 28 quiver
- lvl 36 body
- lvl 30 amulet
- lvl 12 ring (blue item)
- lvl 24 ring
- lvl 33 gloves
- lvl 20 belt
- lvl 20 boots

I almost never get nice stats using transmutation or augmentation and if I do I get some poor stat with my regal or exalted. But I have to get very good stats with transmutation or augmentation or I do not dare using a regal or exalted, because I only have soooooo few of them.

I use a lot of gold gambling on gear but that doesn't help either. In the beginning I got some nice items but after that the prices are too high. Rolling an amulet is over 10.000 gold now.

After a heavy fight with a boss I almost never get a yellow item and if I do it doesn't match my build.

I am stuck in the game and don't have the energy to farm areas when I know nothing will drop.

I am nearing level 50, still using gear I found at level 20.

Dude, I was level 40, using some lvl 4 items. I even used the amulet until like level 50.



However, that was before the patch. Now, it's more or less okay, EXCEPT that I have found a total of 2 Alchemy Orbs so far, on my lvl 67 character. 1 before and 1 after the patch. Found a few Exalted Orbs since the patch, so these are okay-ish, but 1 Chaos total. This is dumb as hell.

Edit: Resized the image.

Yup. Loot drops are pretty bad.

Just tweak the level of crafting currency at the very least. It’s pretty rough.

I REALLY like the game, but the drop rates especially on currencies is brutal.

Can not be more agree. One yellow and few blues with 3 uniques and more than 20 champs / rares. No currency i think it s broken

Man I've been malding over here because nothing is dropping. I'm half way through act 3 and I'm just at my witts end.

This is what I'm currently rocking at level 42

I have some blue items in stash that I'd love to upgrade but I don't get ANY regal or exalts. How can I craft gear if none of the crafting items even drop!?

Farming anything is EXTREMELY slow because of how underpowered my stuff is compared to the content.

Edit: I think its just campaign because obviously watching streamers in maps they're just getting shit left and right.
