Droprates of good / okish items ?

I know the game is based auround trading and finding good stuff is rare .

But is it really fun guys ? I mean i have played this game almost everyday 5+ hours since i started . I have not found any tier 1 unique ever or any good yellow item either . I have played the game for about a year now . All my gear is bought from others . I played d3 before poe but that game is boring and everything is handed to you on a silverplate in that game .

Is it any point in iding yellow items at all ? better to save the wisdoms and use the unid chaos recipe instead ?

When i played d3 it was pretty fun to find your own upgrades , it just is not a thing in poe .
They screwed up with too high droprate on legendaries after the ah was removed though .

Once in awhile i find a nice item with dobbel res with life or something , i check poetrade and it's worth max a chaos .

In lifting nerds , ziggyd s videos i see them not picking up any yellow items at all . For me i don't think that is the most fun way to play poe . It should be fun to iding items with a slightly higher chance of finding a ok + plus item than it is atm .

It's basically farm alteration orbs . D3 upgraded their itemization with smartdrops ( strength have a low chance to roll on a bow etc ) .

So is it anything that poe could do to optimize the itemization ?

They could, but it would require changing their players. Drop rates are fine... until you start trading. Then, not surprisingly, they suck. That's because you've traded for items and are comparing your drops to what to saw when you traded. They don't compare. Never will.

If you trade, you have to realize your drops will never measure up.

If you want drops to be "good"... don't trade.

You have to ask yourself why you really need those items you define as "good/okish". You can, and many people do, play this game entirely self found and reach the highest levels and clear the highest content. If that's possible then why do you need better items than you can find yourself?

Because iding alteration orbs is getting a bit too common .
Why i need items ? Well it's a game based on items . I wanna experience more of it and make more builds and more characters .

No, no it is not.
Technically trading can only occur if you find good drops to sell, too. I'm honestly baffled as to why this game has as many players as it does considering the RNG.

I wouldn't know about that because I stopped playing D3 on the pc when they announced the removal of the AH. I have only played it on console since then.



No, that is not accurate. I played a crusader when a friend bought the expansion for me. Hit max level and saw nothing to stick around for.

Yeah... I find double resist gear with +5 life on it. Now it is not even fixable with the masters. Sheesh.

Between the large number of mods and the large window of mod values I usually run 10 characters in a league from level 1 to ~65 before I have enough gear to get decent resists in Merciless. Still waiting on the decent life to go with it this league... Forget about the trifecta and including the ES/Armor/Evasion stat too. I haven't seen one of those items in 3 years of playing.

And we have how many gear slots to fill? At least there are no pants.

Sometimes I feel paranoid in POE. Like in this league the first fated unique prophecy I get and complete is for the Queen's Decree while I was playing a Necromancer. The next one I find is for the Blackheart ring while I'm playing with a melee guy (actually Heirophant using melee totems since true melee has no survivability).

But what are the odds of these things, really? I'm always asking myself that (there are other anecdotes, too). I would be surprised if GGG really did this though.

More potent question: would they?

Doubtful.

If the rares that you currently define as 'good' dropped all the time then you would call those rares alterations too, and you would come here asking why you can't find the next highest tier of drops. Their scarcity is the only reason you describe them as good currently.

That is absurd.

In this game an item is "good" if it makes your character more powerful: better in either offense or defense.

Rarity is more relevant for trading purposes.

don´t do what streamers do only picking up rings and belts plus orbs.
pick up all the highlighted rares and go to town once full plus chance deicides sorc boots occult vestments.

i find one okay item every few days in rare and unique maybe once per week that is worth listing.
