2000 hours in and I still...

Well... now I can remove one from the list.
I just found Olroth for the first time.

Silly exile, don't you know having things 99% of the playerbase will NEVER be able to touch is part of the vision?

150 odd hours in and I still haven't found an iron citadel

Players sooner or later get the message that for the vast majority, especially in SSF, chase items just don't drop. And at that point, the desire to play is gone.

Heh, for me the actual drop for level 20 spirit gem and skill gem happen first time when GGG intro the Gamba strongbox, only 2 of those so far ever gotten in game

Even in last season playing a Gemling Stat Stacker, doing countless simulacrum finishing all waves, i never had a level 20 skill/spirit gem drop, had to buy them in trade for last season

So yeah kinda hard to believe any news saying chase item to be slightly easier to get in next patch.

Never bought a boat load of white items to chance, but on-going saving and chance orbing what i looted from drop have yet to yeild any Astra or Head Hunter.

The only viable way to me so far is farming shard, essences, omens and selling them in currency exchange and using the currency gain to buy any chase items needed

Side note: still hoping for that Cherneboggie Shield to drop
