Delve and astral / eldritch chests
|
Hi there
There used to be "astral" / "eldritch" chests in delve dropping shaper / elder influenced items ... Have those chests been simply removed ?? or have their probability of spawning been butchered ? Or did their spawning level requirement change ? I've been farming a bit delve up to lvl 80 (don't remember the depth), and I haven't seen a single one ... Since to get an influenced base one could use from mapping, one pretty much needs to spend Atlas tree points into Shaper and Elder farming and kill them or their guardians over and over at level 83, I was thinking that delving might be a bit more accessible but ... (Killed chimera twice already, it dropped ... one influenced chest. so I'm heading towards the very top of the atlas tree now ... it's very anecdotal I know, but it feels quite bad I have to say) I could not find any mention of such a change in the 3.17 patchnotes or the next patchnotes (where I would expect the change could have taken place). SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

You can get tons of shaper and elder scarabs from operatives strongboxes with all the strongbox nodes. Probably the most consistent bet to get lots of influenced items.

" I don't know what those boxes are like so I didn't spec in it, I'll have a look, thx. I got a few of those scarabs, however the droprate from normal mobs in maps seems very low (in two maps I got 0 items outside of that one drop from the boss). Are people just juicing up maps + shaper/elder scarabs and it gives decent results ? (Baran influenced would also work in my case, that one is mostly about killing Baran himself I guess) SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

Influenced items drop rate is very low since past league for me as well.
What I do is pump up the quantity on their own map, and hope the bests for few drops. Other is expedition, the 'drops influenced items', which is random, but drops several per encounter. Then You also have the harvest 'change influence' craft for another random conversion try. All-time non-streamer luckless dropless rewardless tons-of-time-playing non-TFT-er 100% solo player.
So, it just turns out, we were lied to for years with the promises of a two-storied one PoE 4.0. All these worse and worse beta leagues, all these braindead changes, all lead to this. |

If someone is looking for this information, I have seen a few astral chests from lvl 82+ in delves.
It's quite rare, and I'm wondering if I haven't found one or two wants from chests that were not labelled as "Astral" to be honest. SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.
