Why do people think exalt is rarer than divine

easy: because they see a (much) lower value in it.
12 exalts 2 divines

Because there are like 6-7 items between hc and sc with 6 good affix + last tier mods i guess, while you can try (waste in 99% of the cases) to make that item divine worthy with exalts

I think since OB 3 exalts ( not sure if 4) vs 1 divine
3 exalts and 0 divines
1 exalt, 0 divine

Been playing since OB Launch. This game fucking hates me.
I have found 4 divines and about 7/8 exalts (cant really remember). that being said I have yet to use a divine for anything other than trades whereas i actually use exalts AND trade them thus needing them more.


I think I have found more exalts than blessed orbs.

I wish divine orbs were a touch more useful to compensate for the rarity.

Their rarity, which has been confirmed by devs as much higher than exalt, is based upon the fact that they are the most powerful orb available, capable of maximizing those top mod rolls that people seek out.

Bottom line....
Exalted makes an item, Divine make that item as good as it can be. Simple.

Why people think otherwise, and why they devalue the divine has always been beyond me, and I long ago gave up trying to tell people differently.

I've picked up a roughly similar amount of both. Maybe a few more divines. Blew 6 just the other day on a totally mediocre item (who cares about legacy leagues?).

The reason people value exalts more is because of usability, very few people get to the point of not only having divines to use, but gear to use them on. It really doesn't matter if they think an exalted is less rare or not, it functionally has no purpose for the vast majority of cases.

Currently, I'm at around 13 ex, and 3 divine I believe. Maybe 4. This was pretty much the pattern I noticed in CB as well. The simple fact is that divines offer the most power for end game min maxing.

Many of those who have been around for a LONG time also tend to view divines as the rarest orb. Personally, I never understood why people think exalts are rarer.


I don't know how long my 1 year is considered, but I also consider divines to be more valuable than exalts.

I'm fairly certain this view is shared by most high-level, experienced players. Even then though, I've literally never truly had an item worth divining. Even if I did have one, I'd most probably get marginal gains from it. How can I value it highly if it doesn't have a purpose?

Also, I fully expect divines to raise in value going forward as the level/quality of gear increases.
