When will more rare gear start to drop?

[DmAnd]

I am almost level 15 and i think i seen about 4 rare gear drops so far. This is getting hard because my gear is pure crap.
What is a good beginner friendly way for gearing and starting a low level char

Just started playing myself and all my gear is rare... ?

I used some orbs to augment grey and magic gear to rare gear. Also waited until I found gear with sockets to do it with.

jebus level 15 is nothing... thats end of Act1... and you expect to be all in yellow ?
This is not Diablo3

What matters is the correct stats and not how many stats items have.
if you expect to get tons and tons of loot like in D3 /D4 its the wrong game.

you can make items yellow with orbs but its not adviced in early game.
you can absolutely finish act1 with eaz on blue gear....

your problem is probably bad choice of skilltree and skills

You dont necessarily need gold gear in the beginning, what i would look out for are items that generally give flat stats at first.

Instead of items that give you like 30% more phys dmg you normally get more value by prioritizing items that increase it by a flat amount, same with armor/energy shield.
Later on you fish the ones giving you % increases because you get a lot of base stats just by leveling your characters skill tree.

Every level up you can check the shops in town and see if there is something good hidden in the junk, sometimes you do find some raritys that can be put to use.

Despite that there is not much else to it, the drops in the beginning are usually weaker but any item that increases your rarity found is useful to help with that. They can stack up pretty nicely if you get lucky

Your starting characters also matters a lot, like personally i feel warrior is significally harder in the beginning compared to any ranged class because you are so slow and melee focused with crap gear/resistances, ranged classes get away with a lot more.

Thanks, i was able to kill act 1 boss without dying in my crap gear.
I'll just keep chugging along then.
