Divine orbs/ drop rates

[rwrigley1990]

this needs adjusted in late game currently at 188 hrs in the game can do T10 but i have only seen 1 divine drop on a T2. 188 hrs in and only 1 divine drop im about done till its fixed because i cant upgrade anything without divines and they just wont drop for me. anyone else having the same issue ?

Drop rates for divs suck. I'm at 150 hours and have been doing juiced t15 maps for the past 30 hours and have only seen I think 2 divs in that time. Before that I got a div during campaign. So 3 in 150 hours with ~100 rarity find. Clearly there are plenty of people getting plenty of divs somehow though cause every slot I want to upgrade requires between 5-200 divs each and if those weren't selling to someone they'd have to drop in price. I don't want to offer ascendancy services just to make some divs, i want to kill juiced endgame t15 maps and profit naturally but I go days now without finding anything worth selling and nothing but a handful of exalts that barely pay for the juicing in the first place.

I don't recall this being an issue in POE1 but last time I played it was about a year ago. Once you got to endgame and could clear endgame content I felt like money just rolled in at a nice steady pace. Never went a day without finding something decent to sell or at least some divs.

I'm sure it's just a balance issue and with some tweaks it'll be fine, but currently it's not in a good state at all.

I've had 6 drop the past 2 days.
I do not have good magic find.

I did see these drops 1 solo, but the other 5 were in parties, 5 people parties. I see the annualment orb drop more regularly too.

So party up. Get with friends. This is a multiplayer game, not just solo, not just trade with others but solo everything else.

you dont need divines to make progress, there are other ways

[♥BlackSun♥]

ur not suppose to "farm" divines u trade for them. If guy can have stack of 1k divs by only trading and not even touching maps everyone can.

their use is a bit of a too much rng like everything in this game, beyond trading and very very specific crafting they don't offer much of a value, randomly rolling a stat , gotta slap a bunch to hit those specifics.

I agree with OP but I would like to make another point. Every semi-endgame build I have seen is in the 100-200 divine range with streamers knocking out 2-3 mirror builds from magic places with 300hrs game time as usual. Basically any item slightly worthy of using starts at 1 div anything else is 1 exalt BUT nobody will reply to you for these sales.

I am currently level 90ish fire witch and level 75 stormweaver, running minions again as they are always a safe bet in PoE to "luck out" on random drops. Also running 350-400 (250 on char) MF on semi juiced t14-15 and the drops are so diabolical I cannot even sustain t15 maps with 7-800% waystone drop rate.

Multiplayer drops rates and single player drop rates should be THE SAME to respect the players time. PoE 2 servers can barely handle 20 minions without bugging, skipping and crashing every third map, teams of 4 are nightmarish depending on the various pings of the individual player. Tried it and 2 players would crash every other screen.

Even though I have two endgame characters there are simply too many bugs, scammers, item flippers and currency bots for me to put up with it for much longer.

253 hours in, doing juiced Tier 15 maps (+2 monster level) daily with around 100% rarity find and my only divine drop happened in Cruel Campaign, many weeks ago.

Meanwhile my friends drop them daily, yesterday a buddy got 3 in a row.

Major RNG

While I agree RNG can be a factor, relying on it as a game mechanic is horrendous. Just think your 253 hours and 1 divine drop, in just 140,000 hours you can buy a unique belt that every single endgame build in game is using currently.

Yeah I am exaggerating but still 250 hours is a serious time investment for basically "an orb".

300hrs ~10 divine, with mf 20-40 (40 only last few hrs)

[p00se2]

124 MF
+ running T1-T10 MF maps

im surprised if i dont get 2 divs a day

edit : made this post and killed T4 boss @ 175 MF on map
and guess what i got

You need rarity

[robruckus65]

In my 150 hour playtime I've seen 4 divines drop two while I was playing the campaign one in act3 and one in act 1 cruel. The other two dropped while I was running maps with a buddy 1 in a t10 the other in a t13. I' havent seen one drop yet in a t15.

start to collect gear with Magic Find try 150% MF+ and u will see a major increase of dropp rate, but i have to say its better in t15 maps

[ThePedroKid]

I've only had 3 in 130+ hrs. But, it really doesn't matter. If they dropped more often, people would just ask for more in their price for items. The real solution is to make items with better stats drop more often so the price goes down as supply increases.

[fraggamuffin]

236 hours played, 3 characters at levels 74, 51 & 50. 1 divine orb dropped.

137 mf, I'm running a balanced build(aka can't afford anything decent) with ice minions. Usually I juice up 3 towers with rarity tablets and run all the t15-t16 boss maps with 6 modifiers(i usually pick good ones with rarity from 50% to 100%) and so far I've cleared around 20 t15 and 5-6 t16 maps with zero divs. All the divs I got was from farming chaos temple, sometimes I'm wondering if I work as part-time garbage collector. I would probably earn ten times more if I just live-searched jewels for reselling or farmed trial master
