Greater Jeweller's Orb and Perfect Jeweller's Orb drop chance is very low, consider increasing it

Well i got 3 perfect jeweller's orb dropping since 0.2 in like 200 t15+ maps.
So all in all i think the ratio is good.

Same, but 0 orbs. 1 Greater from gamba box.

LV 90, 100h in and never seen a single Greater or Perfect jewelers orb drop. Bought all of them for ex/divs via currency exchange. Also never seen a single of these "good" strongboxes that seemingly drop them in over 150 maps. In general this stuff is way too rare considering every character needs at least one perfect jewelers orb for their main skill if not more and greater jewelers orb for their other skills mostly.

Last Season in about 200h I had a couple perfect drops (think around 5) and a lot of greater drops (in the dozens) which felt just about right.

+1 the drop rate table is clearly bugged or miss configured wth ggg

Yeah I personally don't think this was intentional. Jonathan's looking at the loot so hopefully this will also get fixed with that.

I will say though that I was level 95 on 0.1 running T16 maps before I got my first Perfect Jewellers orb so the drop rates were attrocious even then. I had to take the biome node on the atlas passive tree and run water maps with multiple juicing towers with breach to get the drop too. IMO there's a bit too much of a knowledge requirement to getting good loot, in my mind it would be preferrable that you could still get a chance to see divines and perfect jeweller orbs without knowing the best juicing strategies.

best part they mentioned for 0.2 they have increased the drop rate. lol.

They only increase the chance to get from strongbox and not through monster drop.

Im convinced they only temporarily increase it for the first week of launch. I got to endgame game in a couple days and the next 3 days in maps were incredible for loot. Was finding unique strongboxes all the time and dropped a div, perfect and 2 greater orbs in t1 and t2 maps, and lots of exalts and game was so much fun. After a week that disapeared and its way worse than 0.1.

I have far more rarity, over 200 on gear and im able to stack only quantity tabs in towers on t15 maps and im getting no div or orb drops and maybe 40% of maps even drop a single exalt. Took 4 straight days of this before I put down the game.

The initial loot increase by the devs were definitely to get you hooked then it was massively turned down.

My guess is that they did increase drop chance for the orbs but since they globally lowered drop rates and nerfed magic find, the practical outcome is lower drop rate. I don't think this was intentional.

duno but thats how it is now.

Someone floated idea of guaranteed greater and perfect orb in the campaign either from bosses or quests.

Given the abyssmal drop rates, they need to change it so the orbs apply to the socket and not the gem...

Either keep them rare and have them apply to the socket or make them more readily available and apply to the socket. But having them as rare as they are and apply to the gem 100% kills build crafting and, therefore, build variety.

@OP all drop rates suck why leave it at those 2 items? Take a look on the forums.

Last season the forums were littered with XP loss on death hate. This season the recurring them in new posts is loot angst.
