Currency drops for solo nerfed?

at least party was BUFFED again! nice!

It's not a problem of not being able to make money, I'm just not getting pure currency drops is all. I'm running deli + exarch + beyond + shrines + harbs + maxed explicit modifiers so it's not like I'm lacking things to make money out of, but not getting pure drops is, to me anyway, strange.

I've had ONE div drop the entire league. <10 exalts. I keep telling myself it's just bad luck, but even that is starting to feel like copium.

I can play the trade game for whatever I need so it's not an issue per se, but the seemingly horrid amount of pure currency drops is bothering me.

Bad luck dude. I rolled over 6000 essences for something I should have hit with 2500...

Feels pretty decent for me.

- Roll a T17 / T16.5 till it says over 200% more currency.
- Apply maven chisels.
- Allocate the increased effect of map mods "hat" on the atlas tree.
- Slap abyss on the map.
- Drop multiple divines & valdos boxes.
- Repeat.

There's probably better strats which involve more complex setups but I enjoy the dopamine rush of multiple schwings per map without needing to engage my brain :>

But it wasn't an opinion? You used the word "objectively".

:D

And I objectively take it back

Alright, a slight update - running ores + Niko is way overkill. I have tons of ores which need to be smelted and it's kind of pointless to collect more. That is unless a) you use the scarab which turns ore into bars or 2) switch your atlas three once you have like 100k of each ore in store.

But, this is not the lazy way, and I like me some lazy PoE experience. So instead I focus everything on Niko and remove all ore points except for the transformative node. What this gives me:
- more Atlas passive points to spend, like 28 more
- less time having to stop to deal with a league mechanic (3 out of the 4 ores force you to do that)
- a source of corrupted strongboxes
- more gold because now my maps have more pack size/quantity thanks to the additional points invested into that

The negative is that I do get less ore per map, about 1k instead of 1,5k, but it is mostly negated because now I do maps faster.

I just love creating my own trash strategies that surprisingly work

I felt this.

Mine wasn't as severe but I had saved up 800 essence because I knew I would need them to craft both my helm and boots.

Did the boots tonight. Very first essence I get T1 chaos res, but it was just barely (31/35).

So I said to myself "Well, if it's that easy. . ."

700 essence later I ended up with 31% chaos res and 1% less of ailment avoidance than I had on that first roll.

That's like 8-10 div completely wasted.

Kinda bitter about it, ngl.

Boots can be quite the hit. Yesterday I sold rare boots with no influence I crafted via Rog for 10 div. Tier 1 everything except for movement speed (30%). Triple res including chaos, life and mana. It's good to know that something this basic is still sought after.

I literally dont understand how people cant make currency in poe. You can literally make currency from flipping wisdom scrolls.

Hey op go learn heist, get a simplex amu and sell for a mirrur then GitGud. Veryyyyy simpleee.
