Jeweler orbs drop rate

Just increase it FFS. I'm hyped for the new support gems and all but there's no point if you can't drop freaking greater/perfect orbs. I have a ridiculous amount of houres played and the drop rate is so low it's dam absurd. It's fine in trade league but for SSF it's super annoying (even more in HCSSF as you will eventually die and lose it :d). SSF would be more enjoyable with the currency exchange tbh unpopular opinion maybe cause it kinda go against ssf purpose but it would solve some issue without making the gearing easy af like in trade league.

Currency exchange doesn't make sense in SSF.
They might as well add a SSF exclusive shop, selling these orbs and other essential mats for lots of gold.
Like
10,000 lesser
50,000 greater
500,000 perfect?

To lessen bad RNG impact.

The patch notes for 0.2 aren't out yet but definitely agree. Glad they are adding more support gems like even if they add 100k support it won't change the fact that most people still using 3-4 links.

Greater jewellers orbs are extremely rare, I think perfect are almost impossible for the average player and trading is the only method...

So yes please add another 1 million support gems but if they don't increase the drop chance for jewellers orbs it's boring and useless.

First play through, I found my first greater on my last tier 15 map...no way you are running end game content in poe1 on a 4 link.

Agreed that especially greaters need to either have an up chance to drop or build in quest reward options for greater.

Like you graduate to tier 6-10 maps, 1 greater

Once you hit tier 11-15, another one.

Let perfects and additional greaters be chase items then.

well i mostly play ssf because it's to easy to gear up but i would gladly use a currency trade but yeah i understand it would not please everyone. Gold shop would do the trick but increasing the drop rate seems to be an easier fix.

Well if you dont care about being on actual ssf ladder, then nothing stops you from playing standard and just not using trade outside of exchange

I found more perfect jewelers than greater when I was playing EA. Really seemed like greater jewelers didn't exist at all

In before the forum trolls arrive to declare that it's good, akshually, that most people can't get all the gem slots they need.

just curious, were you being sarcastic when you said it's easy to gear up in SSF?

not in my experience. I've hit a wall chancing on drops and spending all my gold at Alva's to to get higher tiers of gear. Vendors won't tier up until the character levels up and drop rates are $#!t.

Also, wgaf if it won't "please everyone" if the currency exchange is made available in SSF? SSF is not pleasant right now. Did we not also pay for early access? I'd argue there would be far more SSF players than Standards if there was more equity between the game modes.

The mere existences of a currency exchange and a trade economy are a suspension of belief regardless of the game mode. It exists as a convenience, nothing more i.e., it's not "canon" to have an economy subject to supply and demand and inflationary influences when humanity is fighting for survival and the story is obviously centered on your character being the only exile to escape the hangman's noose at the start. What is this? Elden Ring? Millions of Maiden-less with their own realities somehow sharing a cross-dimensional, magical currency exchange and trade hub? Please.

People ignore that for the convenience and if it is just a convenience then it should be for ALL players, not just standards.

yeah cause ppl can't have different opinion without trolling, anywaaayyyy :D the issue is mostly in ssf cause in trade league it's actually okay but they wont only up SSF so just up it everywhere.

No i meant it's to easy to gear in trade league, sry not nativ english. I like the hustle of SSF more (still i usualy play both trade and hcssf) but the late game can be a litle to much if rng is not on your side aka jeweler orbs, gear, craft ect... seems we will have few more option soon so we will see (but the knew mechanism and event are a lil spooky for HC lol, can't wait to die :D) .

About currency exchange in SSF i would personaly like it as i don't think it would ruin ssf experience regarding the accessibility of gear but it would be a great qol but i don't think it's going to happen.
