Also known as RNG.

yes bro rng sure but its too much? some items are super hard to farm even if they are world drop like orian eyes etc now u need so many of them at certain LP also to roll once u got and how to they expect us to do it ever if they just make imprint 1% chance ? play 3 seasons to roll amulet few times? its too much ... it was totally fine how it was i was getting like 1 maybe 2 amulets if i play like 10h if even then and thats ''too much for them'' ... idk if they think all their players are playing 24/7 as some streamers we are not all streamers

If an item has very low drop chance, imprinting such item does not guarantee a huge increase in said chance. Let's take Red Ring of Alatria as an extreme example: normally it has a 0.14% drop chance. Imprinting that in the Echoing Riches-node increases the drop chance by 50% so it now has a 0.21% drop chance, which is still very, very rare.

As an another example, I have a Ravenous void imprinted in the Sealed Riches-node. It increases the drop chance by 6%, thus increasing the drop chance from 0.11% to a whopping 0.16%.

As you can see, the chances are not drastically increased in either case.

Imprinting is such an absolutely useless feature. Since there is no confirmation for when it procs you never know when its actually working. On top of that going from my own experience it has never worked. I have never seen "a pile" of anything drop from something I imprinted. If its not actually helping you find multiples of hard drop items why even put it in the game.

The chances do, in fact, drastically increase (certainly for the +50% example). They are just still very, very low. Those are two very different things.

Could you point where they (I guess you mean EHG) destroyed it? I've imprinted a 4x exalt relic and I've been getting quite a few drops from the Echoing Riches-node in the couple of past days I've had it there.

--edit--

What item have you imprinted and what corruption are you running btw?

i am not talking about exalts but unique imprints , i am hunting for Orians eye , before patches i had at least 3 per my daily farm from 0-1 LP usually and i have them on every jewerly imprint , after these patches i am farming last around 10h and didnt see single one on 1040 corruption , it keep dropping random amulets but never one orian eye anymore and till this moment i dropped like over 50 random amulets from imprint but just random ones

Again, could you point where they destroyed the imprints?

Pre the current patch imprinting uniques was broken when it was dropping the same exact unique. It's now working correctly, dropping similar items, just like it does for every other item rarity.

Yeah, they also fixed the part where the imprinted item changed if you modified it.

why is this always the response. Everyone knows this by now. Ive never seen this thing proc and I have never run boss items in the imprint slots. If the imprint system is only going to give you a very very very small additional chance at an item then its pretty much worthless.
