Greater and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs are TOO RARE

2 95+ chars not a single perfect. it's atrocious how they made it actually way worse than PoE1 5/6 links despite all the lies advetising the new system.

I'm at lvl 93 and found only ONE perfect orb, guess i HAVE to put rarity on my build huh?!

I played OG PoE1 back when we had no crafting and it really wasn't that hard to get them, they were still common on corrupted and tabula, and 5 links were extremely easy to get and could very easily carry you through all the content too. And remember, you literally only needed one, and you could experiment with any number of builds, give it alts etc. In PoE2 you need an infinite supply of 6 links to keep playing different things.

yeah i didn't touch on the second argument because i agree with it that the skill bound links are lil messed up. but 5l being extremely easy? it wasn't easy to 6link back then at all. and i think the droppable corrupt 6ls were introduced later weren't they? i still can beat poe1 with a 5L, 6L is a luxury, devs stated that before, and i remember when this was the case. 6L-ing your item was a achievement (not the pop-up crap neither)

edit- i guess i got hanged up on the odds of getting the 6L being low therefor not easy/common. yet there was a chance to get lucky. which is also gone here. i even made a brief summary myself of this system offeing a solution so i kinda agree its a bad system right now. here is my thread if you are curious:

I have a 92 and an 88 a couple other lower in various stages of mapping. I've spent a significant amount of time target farming grass biome maps with local knowledge. I have dropped 1 greater jeweler's orb, and no perfects. Steam clocks my time played at 418.4 hours.

Level 81.
So far I've found about 2 Greater jewellers.
1 was in Campaign. 1 in maps.

Found one Perfect Jewellers in a Breach in Sandspit map.

Of note is that I run with 0% MF gear.
My Atlas passives give me about 12% MF and the waystone on the Sandspit map was with +70% MF and increased Rares and magic mobs.

L80 Monk, L80 Sorc and Level 40 Witch.

I must be lucky as I have 41 Lesser orbs and 1 Greater in stash.

Have upgraded all my skills to 5 link that need it (about 6 or 7) and have found and used 1 Perfect Orb.

About 320 hours played.

A 94 and 90 char + some lower ones. Maybe 200 hours spend in endgame. 2 Perfect & 15+ Greater found so far. But I always had on the Atlas node 'Local knowledge', as soon as I could grab it.

Lvl 92.
2 Perfect and ~10 Greater.
I'm already at stage where I'd like to corrupt 5/20 gems. But I don't have orbs for it.

So you judging whole system with single example? Funny.

I was more lucky, i got like 5 perfect jewellers in first 200k kills. Does it mean i should come to forums and tell to nerf droprates? Would be weird and cringe.

Agreed with OP, ive sunk in 200 hours almost and only had 1 drop.

Thats a little too low of a drop rate.

Naturally if these become a little more common, their price will go down too.

That is not a bad thing however.

Ive had about 6 divines in the meantime, whereas a perfect jewellers is worth half that.

Feels off.
