The usual 2.5 week dead POE edited.

Hello Everyone,

first a little context:

I play roughly every three leagues. I think that's the amount of time I need to forget how bad designed PoE is, at some point.

Im just you average Joe, trying to get into the end content etc. Every league, roughly after 2-3 week I have a key moment that tells me. "Nope thats so bad, im not gonna go trough another 5 Hours of farming for nothing".

This time it was the shipping mechanic. Last week I got a Mirror shard out of a 20M shipment (10M crops, rest metal bars), everything else summed up too around 6 Divine. I bought my Replica Alberon's Warpath for 60 Divine, good times.

Today I did a 40M shipment (only crops) and I though:"Oh boy, maybe I get closer to a Mageblood this time".

Shipment came back, all together, worth around 6 Divine.

7 Days crop farming and the reward is 6 Divine? Are you out of your mind?
Thats my key moment for this League, im out, see you in PoE 2.

Cheers
Kunkka

Edit.
Just a day after crying out loud, thraumaturic dust was fixed/balanced.
Lets see where this is bringing us.

You lucky you got a divine i'm on almost 2 weeks sending 450-750k worth cargos and i only get chaos orbs not even a great number just 3 or 7 from two boats loaded with 450-750k.

Its not worth the effort i to farm gold to keep it running.


I'm almost leaving this league is really not fun see thay you farmed all day to get in the end nothing really usefull.

Don't really need to read any further

Getting a mirror shard is very rare out of shipments even if you are hitting max shipment value.

You shouldn't be basing your expectations off of one lucky hit.

6 div of value out of a mostly passive mechanic is 6 div you wouldn't have had in other leagues and that's still awesome.

Also worth keeping in mind that thaumaturgic dust was bugged previously and not actually increasing the amount of currency you were getting from shipments when you shipped crops. That's supposedly being fixed in the next update so there's that to look forward to as well.

I get 80% of my divine drops from ships, so there's that... been playing very casually this league. Lots going on IRL

I'm saving up for a 50 million shipment. I'm going to be very disappointed if it bricks. I got a mirror shard from a <5 million shipment pre-patch.

This is the worse league in awhile imo.
They nerfed tile loot so hard its so boring. League mechanic is very unrewarding and super grindy. T17 maps ruined the game for me, when I do my typical t16 farms from past leagues, I get barely any currency its so bad. Highly overrated league. GGG needs to stop catering to the top 1% players that play all day long.

i m playing rather casually and sometimes i skip a day.

i saved up to make a 1 million shipment and got a few chaos in return lols.
