Is it worth chancing, and what to chance?

i chance all gavels and ocultist vestements for mjölner/shavs

Very few items are worth chancing theses days, I rather chance strongboxes.
Prophecy wands, or collect Agate Amulet's till you've got 342 and chance them.

Anything else is pointless

Is the self-found just due to not really enjoying trading, or is it a strictly self imposed limitation? Marohi Erqi is a basically worthless unique now (the cheapest one available at the moment from a currently online trader is 10 alts), so unless you get it within the first 2 or 3 chances, you're wasting currency.



I've been playing computer games since the early seventies. I have found that I lose all interest in them if I "cheat"... and that includes trading for items that I haven't found. I don't impose that on others. It's something about myself that I've found though many years of experience.

After wasting so many orbs going for uniques I pretty much only use them on ilvl 60+ gold / amethyst rings so if they roll rare can use in chaos recipe
chance orbs are the lottery scratchers of PoE.

with that said, I've had better luck with chance orbs than hoping for a particular drop. 2 pledge of hands, a daresso's defiance so far. Never had those just drop for me.
I use chances where i have multiple avenues for success. Example is an amulet that I could use a decent rare of, has a decent corresponding unique, is ilvl 75 so I can use in regal recipe.
i vendor my chances for scours and then scours for regrets. Imo using them for their purpose is a complete waste of time. Sometimes it works, at 20 regrets to an exalt the overall success rate vs orb value is just not worth it in terms of maths I think unless you are doing some sort of zana map investment with 1k+ attempts.
I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)
Holy bejeezus on ratio! I would do that as well if I traded and played std(?). Regrets have little trade value in league as far as I can see.
