Jewellers orbs

[Husky Brown]

I have 2 characters one to level 52 and 80 and have not seen one greater jewellers orb. Are the these only on a certain waystone level?

[BlackFlame1981]

Found one on cruel while doing the campaign on the graveyard.

[The Real Fragamemnon]

Played over 200 hours and have not found a greater jewelers orb. Have to trade for on with 38 exalt orbs.

I have almost 400 hours and run T15s / T16s only and have yet to drop a single one. I've had to buy all mine from currency exchange.

[moody]

I'd like to find a couple of these too. =(

[TyresTyco]

Just vaal a couple skill gems with 3 slots for a chance to get a 4 slot.. most of the time it's cheaper than using a greater orb. The only downside is you cant quality it anymore.

Perfect orbs are a headache.. after 280 hours I got one of these.

Pretty rare, found 3 greater and 2 perfect at 260 hours with 4 characters over level 80, one 92. Your best bet is to make sure you have points in the atlas tree into rarity and quantity, and do tier 15 maps, they can drop earlier than that but it's even more rare.

Yea. One node in particular on the atlas tree helps a lot. Local Knowledge for 40% increased chance to drop socket currency in grass biomes.

Found 2 perfect and multiple greater. It all comes down to mf and your luck does the rest. You can find it at any point.

I got two greater orbs almost back to back on the same map, like t8 or something. Nothing since.

71 hours in and level 47 (almost 48) I have reached the black chambers but so far have only had two lesser jeweler orbs drop; back between lvls 20-30.. Am I missing something?

lesser jeweler orbs start getting "relatively" common toward lv 70+, medium ones are rare even in lv 80+ content and the best ones have a stupidly low drop rate, pretty much require trading (unless you like maxed endgame bosses over and over again for weeks).

While Devs said that with the poe 2 system, you'll be able to 6-Linked any slotted gem, they never said it would be easier.

On average you will still get around the same setup as poe 1, meaning one 6 linked with great effort, one 5 linked with good effort and the rest as 4 linked.

the only difference is that it's now not tied to your stuff, so you can switch items more easily, but the linking process is still an endgame achievement like in the first one.

Ok, I have over 800 hours in PoE1 and typically I am able to get 4 links quite easily by level 30. I'm near level 50 in PoE2 and am running the equivalent of only two slot items. This is way behind the curve. by now I would expect to at least have skills reliably at 3 slots.

You can have 4 links easily in poe 1 within campaign because you need to be able to switch equipment. In poe 2 you don't have that restriction, so you can switch freely without the need to resocket.

Then, in poe 1, your support gems have to level up, so you need more supports to balance the power. In poe 2 support gems don't have levels, so they are already at the maximum of their power.

the whole shift in poe 2 is that there are no colours and no fusing anymore. So that only leave one rarity, the socket number. So it's going to be more rare because there are less variables.

This is, again, stuff that the community asked (separating gems and items), but nobody actually thought about the consequences of that.

Well that's the consequence, it's gonna be harder to 6 link 8 gems in poe 2 than it is to 6-link one in poe 1, Becasue having more skills at disposal means they have to progress slower, otherwise it turns into a single button mash fest that the community (again) wanted to get away from, but it turns out that people still want to optimize one button build.

Well you can't have it both ways, you can't have a game with 8 skills and expect them to be each oneshot buttons when you enter endgame. There has to be a steep progression somewhere.

I'm talking about 3 slots. not 6. lesser jewelers orbs. Not the other ones.
