Loot is very broken and unpredictable.

[JEEBBSS]

Something is very wrong with loot, hardly no rare drops, and I am getting a lot of loot for other class's, fighting the boss at manor with warrior class at lvl18 and I am stuck, sadly all my gear is non rare, so far picked up 1 wand unique not even for my class, the loot in poe1 was soo much better, and skills are broken weaker than basic skill, and the warrior class is very very slow ttk with every click is terrible with skills, its like GGG have changed the dynamics on how you play all this for infinite roll, i'm confused, might start a witch class, i'm hoping this is all addressed over the course of 6 months during early access, fighting the manor boss in 3 different fazes at the end of act 1 is terrible with my build and gear, not fun, may need to start over with Witch.

i'm still using a blue belt from level 5 and I'm level 37 in act 3. no regal orb yet (but I wouldn't waste one on that belt anyway)
I've started seeing "Plate belt" that gives armor but they're all blue with worthless enchants like +3 hp or +1,1 hp regen. or +6 accuracy and +9 shield... While mine has +17 shield and +19% fire res.

I feel you. now imagine being forced to enter act 3 with level 5-18 gears lol.

Both the distribution and the enchants are way outside of what I'd expect after playing PoE1 for so long. it just feels weird (and a little annoying)

Use the Vendors and the "Crafting" Got some really nice Items from both. Its good to fill Gaps.

if you dont have a regal orb by lvl 37 you are clearly not disenchanting rares. You need to disenchant rares to get regal orbs. you should have 4 at the minimum by lvl 37

I am level 61 and I still use blue items, I do not have regal orbs/transmutation orbs, I do not have yellow drop at all. Act 6 btw. The loot/drops are screwed rather hard.

Yeah, in act 1 I saw a vendor selling a good base damage white quarterstaff with 2 sockets, bought it, enchanted it to yellow, saw it got some extra lighning damage then I added 2 more lightning runes and it allowed me to oneshot most mobs all the way to mid-2nd act, where I found a higher tier staff with 2 sockets and did the same thing, just cleared the last boss and I'm now entering act 3

[Prinny]

how do I get a level 28+ item when the vendor only sells at most trashy level 18 or 20 items and I can't seem to find any in the drops either?
What's the recipe for a yellow item level 37? please tell me I don't want to suffer anymore.
My weapon is a blue level 33. Where can I get regal to upgrade it? how do I sell yellow when they dont drop? please tell me what the recipe for that is.

sarcasm aside, I have no idea what those recipes are nor where to find such information. in 1300 hours of PoE1 I have used a total of 3 vendor recipe only to learn they are useless and way too time-consuming for what little they provide. just kill more stuff and a better yellow will drop withing minutes. The only one I'm still using is the chaos recipe.
...which reminds me the odds of dropping a yellow here are astronomically low. So how am I going to sell a whole set for any currency.

So far all I can do is grab any blue item or quality item and then disenchant/break them to get currency shards... There is no potion of any kind other than hp and mp, so no speed buff on boots either. No colored gems so no rings or wand either. No fusing orb so no rings with dual resistance either.

I got 4 regal shards in 37 levels on my monk and 25 on my sorceress. 30+ hours gametime already. Mind sharing yours?

All the yellows i have on my Merc are from drops besides my cross bow. I found two unique items so far. a chest that i am wearing and a bow (ffs) that i stashed for a ranger play through later. All in all its not terrible. Keep an eye on the vendor for good base items, disenchant properly for the materials u want, salvage gear with sockets that u dont want. We have ways to make gear if the ideal items dont drop. Use runes to boost damage. Use the skill tree all those 10% damage nodes add up and help.

[Prinny]

all I'm saying is that I somehow found more unique than rare. I have 3 unique helm, 1 unique belt, 1 unique bow. Also a unique scepter but I gave it to a friend since I don't wanna play summon, ever.

As for yellows... or rare as you call it. two maul (disenchanted), a shield (disen.), a necklace(wearing), two body armor(one disenchanted, the other i'm wearing).

That's it.

But I got 86 augment orb. so there's that... I GUESS.

27h : 5 unique and tons or rare items. Just kill yellow mobs and bosses not avoid them.

"Even in Early Access, Path of Exile 2 is a big game. It includes a significant campaign of Three Acts as well as a rich endgame. At the start of Early Access the game already includes dozens of bosses, and hundreds of monster types."

I can't exit a map unless I've mapped the whole 100% and killed everything.
I'm that kinda idiot. why would I run away from something that has the potential to FINALLY allow me to maybe buy a better item at the shop because I'll level up? Why would I ignore anything that moves since it has the potential to drop just about anything from a fart in a bottle to a unique world-ending cursed ring? You'd have to be crazy not to open every single chest, touch every rock, kick every jar....

I dont get that. Like you are pretty much at the beginning of the game and expect so many things. How about investing a bit more time and just enjoy it?
At the end of the day its just RNG and it doesnt matter if you find uniques or rare items if they dont have the stats that you require.

You can save so much stuff for other classes, atleast thats what im doing and they will most likely have a much easier time going through the game, than the very first character.

Also you can always go back to previous levels and bosses and keep on farming those.

Honestly what's wild to me is how impatient people seem to be, they want to rush to the end, be showered in good gear, you name it.

I'll never understand why the current generation of gamers is so against the ''journey to max level''.

You need to craft more, you need to use your currency. You get orbs that turn normals into rares, etc. You can gamble, they're all valid options you should use.

People really have to let go of this entire ''but poe1 was like this so this should be too!!!'' It's a different games with different rules, adhere to their rules, don't go in with a certain expectation and get upset it's not the exact same. If you want the exact same game, go back to poe1. I'm thankful they dared to change the formula to actually make a proper sequel that isn't just a copy paste of the first one with slightly better graphics.

There is no loot at all. xD
