Veiled Orb

Yeeah I think I did around 20 or so catarinas during the league and only got like 3 orb drops lol, the droprate just sucks.

30% drop rate seems more than fair

That 30% has to be a lie, I go like 4-5 catarinas without one. So no, it isn't fair. Maybe if the game had a pity system for bad rng and guaranteed you an orb on every 3rd Catarina it would be fine. But as it stands this orb is annoying to farm and overpriced because of that.

The wiki page literally has the sample size used listed at the top of the section.

Making the orb rare/valuable was intentional, veiled chaos orbs used to be a dime a dozen.

The "over" in "over-priced" means the cost exceeds the value. Veiled orbs provide crafting benefits that are well worth their cost, as shown by the consistent demand for them throughout the league.

Sure, but for me the only crafting its useful for is making a +2 amulet. Nothing else. Paying over 10 divines for that is ridiculous. Discussing betrayal and veiled orbs is kinda pointless now since they said in the Q&A of the kalguur reveal livestream that they don't like where betrayal is, and will likely rework it soon. Probably in the next league. I think one of the devs said something about making it only 1 safehouse that you gather intelligence for. We won't know till we get the revamp. The whole board resetting thing and doing catarina being counter-intuitive to farming rewards from betrayal will also probably change. Just have to hope they put this orb in some kind of guaranteed safehouse reward. Because right now its just annoying to farm and way too expensive to buy. It costs you like over 20 divines if you also count the crafting bench metamods you have to use on an item.

It's literally the old bench craft but in an orb. Before we had a 100% chance to get the bench for every Catharina to craft a piece of gear. Now it's only 30% chance to get an orb that do the exact same thing.

And that's without mentioning the orb (and the old bench craft) also has two chances to miss-craft, so its worth/demand ratio has more to do with the miss-crafts than the worthiness of the crafts.
