well im hoping they upped the rate for 9.4 cos in 9.3 i can count the high level orbs that dropped for me on 2 hands.

In the whole of 9.3(about 3 hours played per day)i had a total of 4 alchemy orbs 2 chaos orbs 1 exulted and 1 divine and thats all.


Lol, I can count the number of orbs I found on 4 fingers. :p

Seriously - It's like the server's all like "NO LEWTZ FOR JOO!! ONE YEAR!!"

These kind of topics getting wear off really fast,

Just dropped 1 chromatic, 1 jeweler, and 2 chaos spheres in Chaos. So why ask for more ? Feed your greed people...


Are you trolling? Because I could have swore I merely said that it either seemed like bad luck, or something was amiss, MEANING I wanted to find out if others have had the same issue, or if it was just me.

We're testing out EVERYTHING here: UI, mob unit function/pathing, combat, talents, spells, etc.

So either offer something constructive, or go back to WoW with that attitude.

Alright, well I guess if you're ONLY counting those four orbs than yea, drops are kinda slim, but then that's probably as it should be too.

And I don't think I'm even high enough level to see divine or exalted gems, I'm not even sure what those two do. ;P

Oddly enough, one of the changes to currency drops means you can see those even at low levels - they're just rare, period.
I have wandered through insanity;
I have walked the spiral out.
Heard its twisted dreamed inanity
In a whisper, in a shout.
In the babbling cacophony
The refrains are all the same:

Handy to know. Although I haven't encountered either of these yet.

It's nice to know there's more shiny new stuff awaiting me down the road yet. ;)

In 0.9.3 i had alot off drops, maybe because i run quantity and quality and also specced for both in passive skill tree.

But after 0.9.4 my MF passives are gone.
Well i guess 0.9.4 implemented a dry season for rares and orbs. ( Or just for me )Even with good MF gear.

So far highest 0.9.4 were lvl 49, R.I.P .

I dont hope drops changed cause off players in chaos complaining. That would be bad for all else than a handfull or 2 off the player base.

A fix could be mega nerf drops in chaos, leave all else difficultys alone, PLZ.
And set droprate wery low, if more than 10 lvl above area - to max 1 % or so off what it normally are. No matter how high Quantity and Quality you got.

The passives are still in the middle of the tree. Did you just not respec to include them? It actually takes considerably less points to respec for the item find passives in .94 so you should have been able to obtain roughly the same build you had before.

The drop rates for the orbs of transformation seem to be too low.I can count the orbs dropped for my ~22 level duelist on three fingers (two) and that's less than the rarer orbs I've found.It's either luck or those orbs are supposed to be really rare?
This might only be me in serious luck, but in the last two days of playing (couple of hours each) I've found 5 orbs of alchemy. And since that is one of the two orbs whose drop rates were increased, I just thought that could it have been too big of an increase? :P Any other views on this?

Exactly that, they already go beyond off of the middle grounds WAY too much, and that is obviously not a good thing.

Devs unfortunately listen criers too much, and things as this exist.
