Blight really nerfed with 3.24.0c
Btw I also have a strong feeling that loot even from blight-ravaged maps cuz i only run like this, was nerfed at least before the start of the league everything was different, much different.

I noticed the shadow nerf of currency in traditional mechanics and I don't like the league mechanic, so I think this is all for me. See you guys in 3.25.

Correct observations.
Drop slots being wasted on common Scarabs are directly deducting from raw Currency drops. Atlas keystone "Unwavering Vision" somewhat counters this intentional base loot nerf at the expense of having to forget that Scarabs even exist on one tree. Same happens when not avoiding Increased Atlas Scouting Reports found but to a lesser degree. As for Blighted Maps the Stacked Decks from div chests were nerfed to 0-1 per Pustule. |

Found this thread with a google search because I was wondering what the heck is going on with blighted maps.
I've done 50 or 60 blighted maps and as OP noted at the beginning, the oil drops are more than underwhelming - they are downright disappointing. I'm chiseling the maps, anointing with opalescent when the quantity justifies it (over 90% already on map), and it's terrible. I'm so sick of seeing "tan" colored icons for oil loot. It's rare even to get the yellow color which indicates drops of Azure or better. After doing the same number of maps with same anointment/rolling procedure last league I had FAR more violet through gold oils than this league. As far as regular currency drops in normal maps, my only comment is this. I'm level 93 now, and I've yet to see a single Divine that I didn't get from trading. | |
There should be a fixed quantities of oil drops, regardless of other coins, scarabs, or whatever. After all, Blight is mainly for picking oils.

Blight got huge buff from new scarabs and kinda reworked atlas tree. THose changes do not affect blighted maps. Blighted maps are waste of time, just do maps using blighted scarabs.
| |
I cannot do blight maps anyway, due to low performance.

" Absolutely. Just dropped another curation scarab after a blight. Its real profitable. |

ran VERY many blighted maps and light ravaged ones in the last leagues...
It makes no sense any longer - you can have your whole tree specialised with blight, and you just make bubblegum currency now It looks like blight in usual maps is better but WHY should we continue with blighted maps which take some time and investment now? there is no exclusive drop in blighted maps stacked decks made it worse since there are no or nearly no divination cards dropped any longer - so 1 deck vs several random cards now currency drops also got worse - I made at least 1 pure div an hour - a good hour was more like 4... now I made 1 in total people already gifting blighted maps and running them is still not worth it |
