Jeweller's Orbs: Drop Rates (Level 89 w/ all 4-links)

My current character is a Level 89 Deadeye w/ 3rd Ascendancy and decently geared [via trade for every slot but flasks and charms]. I am running Tier 13-15 maps and Trial Of Sekhemas mostly. (I have also backtracked to campaign areas on occasion, so I am running a fair variety of content.) I have about 60-70 Lesser Jeweller's Orbs and NOT A SINGLE Greater or Perfect Jeweller's Orb. Of course this means my build has all 4-links including my main skill/s & buffs. IF this is the intended outcome, it Really really sucks. Do I really have to buy my first 5 or 6-link? If so, I may not be playing further on full-release. This is completely ridiculous; to have played this much and never seen what is a vital element of the game: increasing sockets and skill power/capability. Trade cannot be the answer to everything GGG. (And, yes I have tried running 'socket/currency biomes' for hours to no avail.) Please fix this.

Did you allocate local knowledge?

419.9 Hour played

87 Monk

80 Sorceress

I've looted maybe 5-6 Greater and only 1 Perfect.

I want some too. On the local knowledge thing: I have it. First thing I went too. Haven't noticed anything. What zones would I farm for jews in particular?

I guess you can wait for the patch and the see which maps are Grass

> Grass Biome Maps have 40% increased chance to drop Socket Currency

Try to get as much Item Rarity as you can too

I actually found more perfect jeweller's orbs than greater ones. Just 1 though in total. I must've had over a hundred lesser ones. I only have 40-ish now but I'm very unlucky corrupting for extra slots, regularly 10 attempts per skill. The drop rates for the better orbs are atrocious indeed.

Sweet thanks man. I'm too poor for rarity w/o nerfing my build but I'll farm the shit outta those.

You can get 100%+ on the map roll itself.

You can get ~26% on atlas tree.

You can get a huge chunk with tablets.

On gear if you have just a little it already helps a lot, like 30%+, which could be a single ring.

If you can't afford 30% mf on your gear you should maybe consider doing lower tier waystones until you're strong enough for higher maps.

Cool man, great info. All stats are good for t15 maps/bosses nice and smooth, just can't afford good stats +rarity right now.

Working the hell out of tablets and tree, but I am being a puss not rolling the super rippy maps. Former poe1 HC player so I got PTSD. Once I pop next level I might just jump into it and see what happens.

Yes, I have inc. Item Rarity on gear- at 110-130%, and as I said in the post, I am running the 'grass biomes' with the 'Local Knowledge' node active - of course. I also try to run my maps with inc. rarity as well but re-rolling maps with this POE2 style currency will make you poor pretty quick.
