Greater Jeweller's Orb and Perfect Jeweller's Orb drop chance is very low, consider increasing it

I actually had some Perfect Orb drop and pretty low-leveled too, I was like 75. I'm not using it tho, bounds me to a certain gem and I like to swap skills a lot, so better sell it I guess..

That's my main concern with this, in PoE1 I could just use socketed item on another character or with another skill, here I'm bound to a single one.

That makes your experience the absolute outlier as I dont see anyone else claiming they got a perfect drop on a T3 map here? Strange isnt it?

And as long as you talk shit that makes no sense, you cant complain about ppl correcting you. If thats stalking, stop posting or better: Think before you do it.


Yep, strange and lucky, was in a strongbox. i had good RNG.

Played maybe 30k+ hours of D2, never dropped Zod rune, i had bad RNG.

This is how RNG works.

the drop rate is a joke.

dunno what GGG is doing with POE2 but they are driving the wrong way.

Are you comparing a "Zod rune" to an item that you are supposed to get in your early to mid-90s?

"The Zod rune has a mythical place in Diablo II lore. The incredibly rare socketed item, which can make other in-game gear indestructible, has just a 1 in 2,987,183 chance of dropping from the game's highest class of enemy, according to one calculation."

you're not alone. I have yet to see a perfect Jewelers Orb. SMH

Yep.

I'm comparing 30k+ hours of d2/d2r gameplay -> no crying

VS

100h of gameplay -> no 6L orb -> crying

do the ratio yourself.

edit : didn't understand the early to mid 90' part

I'm farming T15 maps and have 119% magic find. I have yet to see a single Greater Jeweller's Orb drop, let alone a Perfect Jeweller's Orb. I'm wondering if that's just my experience. By this time in 0.1 I had 2x Perfect Jeweller's Orb I dropped myself.

I think gem upgrade progression was reasonable in 0.1. But now in 0.2 I'm already in the endgame and still only on 4 link (3 socket) skills unless I trade.


You mean loot in general. It's all currency drops. ALL.

So it didnt even drop but came through a box?:)

A Zod rune is not integral to each and every build in the way Perfect or even just Greater Jewelers Orbs are....if this was a single specific item that is nice to have but not mandatory in most builds like Zod it would be fine and you can just acquire it via trading if need be. But Jewelers Orbs is smth everyone needs for any class and build and sometimes even required to enable a build in the first place. Locking that behind extremely poor RNG is a bad design choice. Not talking about getting flooded with them but thinking of smth where we can get at least 1 perfect deterministically via a quest?
srsly? XD

ZOD RUNE <-> Greater Jew?

you are nuts bro

Well, i'm in a SSF guild and we are more than 100. LOT of us have dropped that orb. multiple times. like i said, bad RNG vs good RNG.
