where is the prime resonator (besides on the market)?

I'm at depth 429, found 2 keys, 7+ exalts, 0 prime resonators after blowing up countless walls. Oh and I found 2 architects and 2 abyss bosses but again, 0 prime resonators.

Wtf is going on because the RNG does not add up here.

I've found ONE over my course of path to 600 when I was doing 40/40.

They're RLY RLY RLY RLY RLY RLY RLY RLY RLY RLY rare

Hmm.. well OK! So they are intentionally that rare and not a bug with my char or something; something I read or heard somewhere.

Same here, I am checking all side ways, I have seen at least 7 cities, 2 or 3 abyss biomes ( cities ) and one primeval ruins, blown up likely 200+ walls, I have 5 tabs full of resonators ( and I might have used a whole tab of them for all I know ), but I have yet to see one of this crap prime resonators ...

6 exalts so far I think too.


I feel like if I ever want to use one for the challenges, I'll need to migrate some pricy items, sit in delve to sell them and by the f***ing thing ...

I wanted to make a thread about this, to know if the "bug" had been fixed, this thread is pretty much just that.

you are doing it wrong!

get gud!

10+ Exalts; 1 Key; with the Resonators I used probably 6+ stashes, even through I stopped picking up alch resonators for a while. But no prime resonator ...

There was a forum thread about this issue. For all I recall is that secondary chars created quickly after Delve release had a far higher chance on rolling prime resonators. During this time prime resonators prices were about 17-36c.

GGG acknowledged that issue and "fixed" that problem by nerfing the prime resonator drop rate for these secondary chars to regular drop rate (close to mirror I guess ^^).

Today the value of the prime resonator (140c) is mostly driven by the challenge requirement rather than the crafting purpose. Kinda hate it when GGG adds stuff into the game as a trophy instead of a valuable game-play mechanic, but hey we got 3 Fossil resonators and I like the new crafting system.

I found one around depth 120 or so. I don´t have the 100 Walls blown up thingy yet either.

That being said, it´s my second char, the first is in the 90s and so far I have not found a single exalt, not yet a boss or various stash types and biomes. No Key yet either and just a single unique chest after patch ...

At the same time, I have two breach keys, 15 Atziri, three Asylum maps and a few Lich bosses in maps.

Never played as much as this league, always had at least 1 exalt found pre mapping, but this league is brutal to me.

By all means, I invite you to develop :))

We never really knew if the chars not swimming in prime resonators were being subjects to the normal "rules' to begin with, or did we ?
The rarity just seems insane, at this rate even Delve challenges IV might come first T_T.

You mean you got access to Atziri 15 times without trading already ? Oo
Are you chaining vaal side areas to get all those midnight's ?

I just checked and I have 5 times Atziri left. I did a handfull to get my challange done, so in total it should be a bit less than 15.

That being said, I get a lot of these fragments and maybe each 10th is a midnight. I do Vaal all my red maps, plus many yellow. I delve a lot and they do drop from chests down there. Besides that, I get a lot of Vaal prophecies, I usually seal them and run them on my second char.

I am not actively looking for these fragments, but while leveling my chars, I cleared all maps and did run into a lot of side areas.

Edit:

Just found my second prime resonator, delve 107. I am now also finding the chests with unique items. It´s my second char, so maybe there is something true about bugged first chars, as I did not get anywhere near that much stuff on my 92, that I delved down to 200+.

It might just be RNG regarding midnights then, because I'm soon at 100 corrupted maps ran, and I found nowhere near 1 midnight for 10 other fragments this league I think.

Regarding prime resonator, it might just be a coincidence, but if you find another one on that second char, please tell us.
I don't want to level up another char just for that, but I actually just might if it's likely a thing still :S.
