Divine font

Hi, I'm a noob (I've started playing 2 months ago). :D

I have a question regarding the Divine font in the Lab. It says it can offer the option "Transform a non-Transfigured Skill Gem to be a random Transfigured version", and some users wrote the chance to get it is maybe 1 in 10 runs. I've beat the Merciless Lab (lvl 68) around 50-60 and NEVER got that option. Not once! I'm just incredibly unlucky or I'm missing something? :/

BTW I play Standard, not the League. Is that only a League option or what?

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Divine_Font

has a table that shows what options are available at what level lab.

Font change was implemented in 3.23, so should be standard at this point.

I've looked at that page before, and I still don't understand how I never got that option. I really want to get "Ice Nova of Frostbolts" for my build, I'm trying to get it by the option "Transform a Skill Gem to be a random Transfigured Gem of the same colour", but no way, never got it. The option "Transform a non-Transfigured Skill Gem to be a random Transfigured version" should give me more chances with the basic "Ice Nova" gem, but as I said, I never got that option. Yesterday (after opening this thread) I've tried with 10 more Merciless Labs, and still nothing. It cannot be just luck, it sounds impossible I never got that option in around 60-70 Labs. :/

I would buy the gem, but it costs too much, 7+ divine orbs. And I have only 3. :(

That does seem like impossible odds. Personally I hate lab and run it the bare min. number of times each league, and I've seen seen that option on my few runs this league. Try running an uber lab and see if you get it, youll have x2 chance.

I've tried the Uber Lab once and Izaro one shoot killed me on the 3rd encounter. Unfortunatelly my build is a glass cannon, so I'm scared to retry it, because it's not free. :D

wont fix everything but,

1. eldritch implicit your gloves to add a source of life leech
2. drop all but 1 life flask, replace with armor/resist/sulpher flask, automate to use when flask charge reach full.

I got encouraged and now I tried Uber Lab a second time. Interestingly, the first time Izaro one shot killed me, and now I one shot killed him. With the same build. Obviously I have to kill him before he can attack me. :D

Of course I still didn't get the transfigure option I wanted, but at least I added 2 important points to the Ascendancy skill tree. :)

those ascendancy points are really important, good job!

As a lab hater, I would encourage you to just save up and buy the gem personally. I dont play standard, so not sure what strats are best. An eays one that i enjoy is alva temple building + map drop farming. Not alot of added difficult from mechanics or scarabs, and easy cash.

Locus of corruption- 3d each
T17 Maps (fortress)- 2d each


Here is a summary of the strat
