Question on Chance orbs

[Tom]

Anyone know the real odds of it rolling a unique? I've used a dozen so far and gotten nothing. Are they actually just a waste of time or am i unlucky?

Uniques have rarity tiers. If you're trying to chance some giga rare unique then dozens isn't enough.
Basing this off of PoE1.

im not even trying for anything in particular just randomly to see what i get. ik its probably a waste "chance orbs are only to be used if going for very specific things" or something like that. If i get nothing after another dozen then ill call it bugged and just sell off any future orbs i get.

It would be nice if they worked like the original PoE1 Chance orbs where you could get a blue or rare, atleast then its not completely wasting things and you could still get something useful.

I chance orb every heavy belt, sapphire ring, and stellar amulet I pick up. Selling them is such a waste when imo. I've gotten 3 porc rings, 2 brotherhood rings, I think I got some unique belt wasn't headhunter. Havent gotten anything from the stellars yet who knows maybe the next one will be an astra.

Well thats a shame, thanks for the reply. Now I want to stock up on a ton of chance orbs and test a few base items listing number of uniques dropped per 100 haha gonna be a while before i can actually do that tho but if i do will def post it here. Any tips on base items to stock up on for what may be the most to least common uniques or something like that?

Check poe2db for the list of uniques.

I think Astramentis was estimated to be somewhere around 1:1200 or something. Might be misremembering tho.

Unless you're rolling for semi-common uniques Orbs of Chance are really just lottery tickets.
