Concerns about the Elixir of the Unbroken Foil - drop chance/possible bug

I recently purchased the Voidborn supporter pack, and I have some concerns regarding the unique selection included in this pack. My worries stem from a past experience with the Elixir of the Unbroken, which had issues related to its drop chance. I have tried to reach out via email to clarify my concerns r. Specifically, I am unsure whether the drop chance of the unique is functioning correctly or if it is operating as intended.

The Voidborn supporter pack is a significant investment for many of us, and having a unique item that may not function as expected is a cause for concern. I believe it's crucial to ensure that we get the best possible value from our supporter packs, and that includes a unique selection that performs as described. I hope that the Path of Exile team can provide clarification on this matter and, if necessary, address any potential issues to maintain the integrity of the drop chance.

Has anyone else encountered similar concerns or reached out to the support team regarding the unique selection in the Voidborn supporter pack? Sharing your experiences and insights would be greatly appreciated. Let's work together as a community to ensure that our supporter packs deliver the exceptional experience we all expect in Path of Exile.

There is a foil Elixir of the Unbroken in Standard league, so that they is no problem on dropping this item as foil in Reliquary


Note that people may choose other popular item as their submission so that making this flask a rare drop instead

Yes, it's from the 3th patch. Only one since then.

Do you know if noone choose a specific unique, it will never drop?


It is not a bug. People pay to choose HH (or other unique from that base to troll people), or unique they loves, but probably not this flask.

Yes, I'm familiar with the way the items drop. I'm also collecting them, missing 12 at the moment, mostly from the last patch that released another 500+submissions.
But it's 100% fishy because there are other items that are rarer and drop more often. For example replica bated breath, that has 3 submissions and multiple ones appeared on the market.
By comparison with the other expedition boss drop that are voidborn uniques like:

Olroth's Resolve - multiple submissions
Starlight Chalice - 1 submission
Faithguard - 1 submission

That are all abundant and available, it feels kind of weird that elixir is that rare.

The drop rate is determined by two factors.

0 submission = 0 chance to drop

a few submissions but the "normal" unique is a rare drop such as HH = still have a low chance to drop from the reliquary

It is somehow contradict from the FAQ anyway on if 1000 people choose HH, is HH is times 1000 times drop chance

Q: If I pick a unique, the colour and add a little text, but others choose that unique as well, does that mean only one version will be added? That would mean that some would get nothing? Or are all versions going to be added which means you can get different version of the same unique from the new keys?



A: Multiple people can specify the same item (even with the same foiling treatment) and all of them will be added to the pool. Each one can drop separately with its own message and hence increases the chances that the specified item can be found.

Q: How do the rarities of the unique items selected affect the drop rate of the Voidborn Reliquary Key?


A: Each item is weighted based on its rarity. We balance the drop rate of the overall key around what people select. Let's look at two examples:

a) All the supporters only select Mageblood or Headhunter. In this case, the key always yields something incredibly valuable, and drops quite infrequently.

b) In addition to those valuable uniques, a few supporters select common uniques. In this case, the common uniques are the likely outcome from a Voidborn Reliquary, so we make the key drop more frequently to compensate. Players can still infrequently get the Mageblood or Headhunter outcomes just like in the first example, but more keys are dropping and often yield the more common foiled uniques.

So, in order to prove it is a bug. you need to prove the normal drop rate of this expedition unique from their boss first
