So how many orbs of chance does it take?

Unrelated but for clarification
" This part isnt really what happen since game roll rarity first. |

It only takes one. But to actually answer, the chance rate = drop rate.

Personally, this league I've had a lot of luck with Orbs of Chance. Day 3 of Ambush I got an Andvarius after my 12th attempt. A week later I got a Soul Taker after 78 tries.
However, back when there were only Standard and Hardcore leagues existing, I spent close to 700 Orbs of Chance for a Kaom's and never saw one You make my ochinchin go doki doki.

" Thanks for the info. I didn't realize it was that high so unless I want to buy a boatload of chances I'm just wasting my time using them when I pick up a normal item that has a unique counterpart. I wasn't asking because I was trolling, I just wanted to know if it was a complete waste of time and you have confirmed that it is. "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."

" Ok, so it is statistically possible to chance a great unique. Do you always record your PoE sessions so that when the once in a blue moon event occurs you can make a Youtube clip of it and proclaim to all PoE players that you are indeed the luckiest SOB in Wraeclast? "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."

" This is the normal RNG shit we have to suffer with to play PoE... and GGG likes it that way. :( "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."

I have used every single orb of chance trying to chance a unique since OB (must be thousands by now, like 2k+ at least? I never trade them and always accept them as a trading currency) and have only gotten one Infernal Mantle. Pretty stupid if you ask me :p

Afaik the chance to chance a unique equals the unmodified drop chance of given unique. Unmodified by equipment, place or monster rarity which means it is astronomical low especially for super rare tiered unique.
If I ever get a unique by chancing, even a leveling unique, I'll buy a lotto ticket for real. :P Normally I use them to get a rare item. I use them on 4 or 5-links I was able to get my hands on. Feels better this way. To throw some raw stats around: Of the total steam player population which includes 63% people who did not even kill Merveil, only 1,5% got a unique item by chancing it. For comparison 1,3% fused a 6-link. Probably somewhat related to the observed set not really being very wealthy if the majority does not play the game past Brutus. :P Last edited by Nightmare90#4217 on Jun 16, 2014, 12:15:44 PM

 get rekt... Nah seriously, I've been chancing quite frequently. Just when I have a chance... to chance something (I don't think this sentence makes sense), I do it... Glorious plates, Ocultist vestments, gavels and so on... Not even the "troll shavs" happened for me sooo yeah.
