Farming Currency

[Rikimarru420]

Hi guys,
I hope everyone is enjoying their playtime,
I have been lvling and gearing my monk having alot of fun, the contents where not easy nor very hard to impede my progress.

Up to this point i was farming exalted and some divine orbs to invest into my build with each piece not costing me more than 3-5 divines, usually taking 1-2week to grind (only 1-2hr of playtime for me a day at most) took me around 1-2week for each upgrade.
Now i hit a stage where my next upgrade will cost me upward of 20 Divines for each piece, that would mean about 2 month of grinding for me !
I am already doing T16 keys put into maps with bosses and +1 monster level, never even got 1divine from any of these maps
Doing maps with 90% rarity and quantity barely gotten any divine there aswell.
i have some gears woth 2-5 Divs but i have been able to sell 1 piece in my 200hr playtime.
Been doing lots of Trials of Chaos aswell.

I am very confused at this stage and thinking maybe i cant progress anymore with the amount of time i can invest in the game ?
I would really appreciate it, if someone could guide me on how am i suppose to farm so many Divines
I have around 67% rarity on my items

Try gearing your monk with more rarity increase gears and do breaches

There really isnt the one way to make good money, it depends a lot on rng. The numbers you provide seem to more or less indicate that you run with little rarity on gear. the current understanding is that ~100 rarity is the number you want to aim for.
beyond that, the best tip is to inform yourself about the meta/hot farming strategies.

To be fair, this might be beyond your current available playtime and or knowledge level of poe. In that case waiting for 0.2 might be the right choice. returning with new content, new eco and the gathered knowledge has been the way to progress in poe 1 for a while, especially for people with lowish time to play

I will try research on current meta farming strategy to see if i can pull it off, thanks mate :D
I am really enjoying poe2 at the moment, i would be sad to just play another game :D

Breaches have more chance to drop divines ? Breaches noted i wil do more of them, thanks heaps mate

as long as you are having fun all is good, the idea i mostly follow is to set goals like, kill all the pinnacle bosses or trying out another build. just concentrating on farming currency usually burns through my will to play quite fast.

As for actual making money one thing is to understand what base items are worth chance orbing and understanding what items are in demand/worth to sell them (exiled exchange can help with this)

there's no point in trying to "farm" divines, it's all RNG nothing can guarantee drop

You "farm" valuable items that can be traded for divines, soul cores and uniques from trials, citadels for keys that are each couple of hundred of ex, breaches if you don't wanna run pinacle yourself just trade in the stone etc...

Just purley running content to hope for a div drop is way too rng dependent , some ppls get 3 divs per map, some don't see 1 in 30 maps.

The RNG is really weird. When i started mapping i had 5 Exalted orbs and 1 divine orb dropping in a T2 map without any major modifiers. Wasnt even a rare map, only magic. Now running T15/T16 with juiced up rarity/quantity and happy when i get 3-4 exalted orbs.

With where you are at within endgame, you should have at least 175% Items find to make sufficient currency.

I do not do trade and I am doing well it drops (currency and gear). Just go by this ...45% -60% through story for good drop frequency. Cruel should be 100%-ish. Endgame ideally 175% or better.

Exactly same for me aswell, i had more Divines drop from t1-t12 than t15-t16, the rng is too heavy and wierd

I am doing currency farming mate, im not looking for pure divine drops, 90% of my divines came from exalted orbs and cores
Thanks for your help i appreciate it
