Something is wrong with Map Drop rates...

I dont know, Im at 95 and it feels like unless I buy the maps, I will never see them drop, I regularly run 100+ quantity 30% packsize with bloodlines on top and just yesterday, even while running some maps with a friend, I wasnt even close to break even on maps, let alone the currency I invested in it, Im at 140 or so bonus but that doesnt help when maps just. dont. drop. just for the funsies, while i was fishing for sextant mods for the challenge, I run 3 shaped strands with fortune and rolled lucky with breaches twice, I got ONE t10 map out of three runs.

I might have chalk up the luck with map drops to pure rng two weeks ago, but its getting old now, I havent got a t16 fragment in like 10 days now, despite running as many t14s/15s as my drops allowed, I regularly have to go back to t9s/10s just to restock t11s/12s for when the elder spawns in the area.

The saving grace so far for me are some really expensive drops so I can actually buy the damn maps on top of pretty much anything for my build

If maps are not dropping, how are others selling their spare ones? :thinking:

A lot of those are just peoples trying to lower prices by listing below value. I have few buddies who do that then buy from poor idiots who list at their price.

Imho mineral pools/geode area seem to be one of those zones with issues. I have seen only 1 mineral pools drop since unlocking it.

using pretty much the same setup as the OP
windripper, bisco amulet, 2x 10% iiq ventors
i can't even sustain red maps and i'm at 121/157
i have 5 T10 maps right now and nothing higher, i've completed my last like 15 red maps without a single red map dropping...
lot's of currency dropping tho

right now i'm considering quitting the league

harb league was fun because you could "craft" your own maps / reroll shit maps into ones you like but right now it's all about fucking rng and it sucks

well, i skipped(mapping) on Harbringer and Breach leagues and played STD... Abyss RNG seems normal, i pretty much sustain T10's and thats because i only alch+go.

on STD i see reds but there i have fully chiseled maps and every now and then i even sextant and Zana mod my meeps.

And even in 2018, people still thinks that player IIQ affects mapdrops :facepalm:

Yeah I agree. After 3.1 I am not able to sustain red maps anymore. It was always a struggle but now drop rate is definitely way lower. Very frustrating.

wait, is this really a thing? i've been playing this game for like 5-6 years now and put in soo many, like 10k+ hours but never ever heard about iiq not affecting map drops
can you post a link about it please? in case i can't find it because i'll google right after this post


// nvm i just found it, time to drop mf gear and go full clearspeed lol

i just completed the same setup as OP did....and i bought 10 shaped vault...to get started , you know...

how many vault did i drop ? 0 what a nice sustain for a 300c+ investment...im a litle bit disapointed honestly

Lol, all this thread is funny. IIQ on gear DOES NOTHING for map drop. It's common knowledge since years.
People are building char/gear without knowing a shit about the game. MF gear is all about currencies and garbage uniques.
