This has been the most miserable league for years for me

i did read it you're complaining you haven't had any drops worth more than a div as if mapping profit comes from those drops i don't know much but i know when mapping your profit comes from bulk selling stuff that is worth less than a div individually maybe learn the basics before complaining on forum

Just because I didn't get any drops over a div doesn't mean I didn't get any drops for a div or less. I don't know why you would assume that. I funded my entire league with the small drops. I could hardly have gotten to end game if I hadn't. Mine is a kingdom built on Alteration, Chromatic, and Jewelery Orbs, with a whole bunch of resonators thrown in.

The point is after 17 days played in any previous league I would have had more than a few decent drops already on top of the bubble gum currency generators that always occur during Delve and Mapping. And those drops are needed this league more than ever, because trade pricing is absurd.

I.E. the core game drops this league are much worse than previous leagues, at least in my (extended) experience. They've done something, and it sucks. And that's on top of the borked trade caused as a direct result of the league mechanic.

I don´t get why u feel the need to repeat your statement over and over and OVER AGAIN, like, we got it. The reason you don´t farm real currency is because u don´t farm things. With your hunting for div cards in crimson temple and whatnot you are literally gambling. And this league, it did not pay off. This is not due to global drops being nerfed or far worse than ever, this is you pulling the short straw on a luck-based farming strategy, or in statistical terms you didn´t meet the expected drop rate by having below average drop luck.

If you were to stop farming nothing really and just hoping for stuff, you would be swimming in currency. Someone mentioned those options:

"

- Maven's Invitations, especially with the new Maven keystone.
- Delve depth 500+
- Deli mirror for orbs
- 83 tribute lab for grand spectrums
- Vaal Temple
- Polaric and Withering Invitations (the smaller red and blue ones)
- Beast hunting
- Alva corruption temples
- Betrayal/Catarina for winged scarabs

I can further add:
- Harvest
- Essences
- Simulacrum
- 20% deli Torment memories
- Expedition Logbooks
- Expedition in Maps to farm logbooks
- Legions

and probably many more options available. But no, you just want to get big drops randomly and then come here to wonder why they don´t appear. Honestly, this is totally on you.

That change was made in 3.19, over a year ago. Loot mostly comes from specific mechanics and players who have adjusted are swimming in currency without TotA or sanctum

You obviously didn't because you (figuratively) keep repeating the same platitudes as if they were something novel that had never been considered. All good, have at it. I've said my piece.

I don't know what has happened to the core game, but I've had no drops over 1 divine the entire league.

This is the first league I have made over 1 mirror just by mapping and playing the game. I have dropped over 30 natural divines, and the fortunate card + Eldrich invitations are a guaranteed divine insurance policy.

Don't want to be snarky, but seems like you have run out of luck. Same as my brother - he's been playing for two years, and every single league he had some crazy drops, like Headhunter from a Heist chest or valuable cards from the Stacked Decks. This league he didn't drop anything of value from 3000 decks, and didn't get any other big drops either. Got very upset and almost ragequit the league.

Nevertheless, this is one of the best leagues currency-wise because almost every Atlas strategy is viable if you are ready to farm your currency instead of relying on lucky drops and gamble.

Logbooks and Tujen haggle is still a goldmine. Heists and Unusuals gems are still a goldmine. Yesterday farmed 12divs in pure profit in 3 hours just farming Harvest lifeblood with very minimal juicing (80+ quantity + vaal) - I believe you could farm a lot more, if you invest in sextants and actually have a faster mapping character.

I'm having a blast this league but my raw drops have been bad too as I haven't found a divine or any item worth more then 40c. Trick is to play a meta starter build that doesn't take more then a few divines worth of gear and just have fun till you find something actually worth something. Even If you end up not finding anything you still have a good build and can do most content at least enough to farm eater fragments that sell for a divine. Imo people are way to focused on finding mageblood or w/e and making a build that can do all content. I swear on it farming regular t16 maps is just as fun as farming ubers with your mageblood character it's just how you look at it.

Also if your goal is to get rich I suggest trying to find an MF party because there is like no way you don't make bank magic finding in a party of friends. You get like 20x what you would if you just magic find solo.

PoE Forum -> builds -> Witch -> SadPanda (as example)
Its surprising you didint know about this forum section. Maybe indeed some people need streamers to tell them what to think

Again, says the guy playing a mirror tier TS MF build (Headhunter included) specifically designed to speed clear maps at the highest level with the highest level of MF possible (probably some form of ghostbusting this league) - thereby helping to underscore my point. No hate towards MF, but come on... If we could stick to the actual point conversations would be so much simpler.

I've never had big drops - not a single one. The biggest thing I think I've ever gotten is an Apothecary card from a stacked deck a few leagues back. What I've experienced this league is something else entirely, and it seems your brother has too.

I'm telling you, something has changed. If you spend time outside the meta (which is where most people play), you'll see.
