Boss Drop Rates in Path of Exile

I haven't had an easy time finding droprates for specific boss/zone drop items. I find it interesting that there is no overall resource for checking this sort of thing. Specifically what peaked my interest in this topic is my inability to find a drop chance for the bottled faith flask. Given that the maps are a couple exalts at the time of this post and the flask is many many more I wanted to know if it would be worth it to farm for the flask (and as most things go it probably isn't versus just buying it, but that's besides the point). So I kinda wanted to get a feel for people's experience with boss drops.

What I'm getting at here is that anyone whose run a lot of the same encounter over and over (tul, aul, chayula, cortex, etc) can share their experience.

For example I farmed tul's charged breachstones alot this league and found that the amulet dropped just common enough that it was worth it to make me a steady profit over the course of many many runs. I would get an amulet anywhere between 5 and 40+ runs with the average being somewhere around 10-20, while the armor was aout 2-3x as common, and the wand and blessing dropped almost every 1-2 runs.

As a disclaimer droprates are not the same for everyone and everyone has a different experience. Getting an item once in a bazillion runs, on the first try, or 8 in 10 runs doesn't give us definitive information on the drop chance.

If there is some resource out there already that I don't know about please point me in that direction.

This is one of the best resources imo.

Also bottled faith is a rare drop from the cortex map encounter (rare map, rare drop)

Edit: if you are actually looking for hard drop rate numbers, they are not available, and GGG wont be doing so anytime soon if history holds any evidence.

looks like the community has decided that it's worth about 13 ex. That pretty much means that it doesn't drop unless you get lucky. If you could farm items worth 13 ex, everyone would be doing that. You just have to get lucky, or save up for it.

Well as far as bottled faith goes I can say that I've done about 12 cortex runs this league and I've hit flasks and 2 garbs so far. Might do more later, but it being about a 1/6 notably does line up with the attatched value though this may be sheer coincidence.

Obviously GGG isn't going to publish hard drop rates, but that doesn't mean we can't come up with a resource for approximate droprates.

Even then it's purely anecdotal, and would be difficult to verify.

Plus the loot system is based off of millions of rolls from many thousands of players.

I dont think you can get meaningful trends outside of vast generalizations like blackheart ring is more common than Le Huep.

Sure, but anything is better than nothing. Notably Grimro did a video the other day with loot from 100 awakeners compared with other players results. Very informative.

it's a casino, is there drop rates on casinos?

ah yeah the house always win and you keep running on the grinding machine..

Untrue. Item prices vary so knowing the rate can allow you to run bosses profitably if you have a good enough idea of the droprates.
