Greater and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs are TOO RARE

I have a 92 and an 88 a couple other lower in various stages of mapping. I've spent a significant amount of time target farming grass biome maps with local knowledge. I have dropped 1 greater jeweler's orb, and no perfects. Steam clocks my time played at 418.4 hours.
Level 81.
So far I've found about 2 Greater jewellers.
1 was in Campaign. 1 in maps.

Found one Perfect Jewellers in a Breach in Sandspit map.

Of note is that I run with 0% MF gear.
My Atlas passives give me about 12% MF and the waystone on the Sandspit map was with +70% MF and increased Rares and magic mobs.
L80 Monk, L80 Sorc and Level 40 Witch.

I must be lucky as I have 41 Lesser orbs and 1 Greater in stash.

Have upgraded all my skills to 5 link that need it (about 6 or 7) and have found and used 1 Perfect Orb.

About 320 hours played.
A 94 and 90 char + some lower ones. Maybe 200 hours spend in endgame. 2 Perfect & 15+ Greater found so far. But I always had on the Atlas node 'Local knowledge', as soon as I could grab it.
When night falls
She cloaks the world
In impenetrable darkness
Lvl 92.
2 Perfect and ~10 Greater.
I'm already at stage where I'd like to corrupt 5/20 gems. But I don't have orbs for it.

2 95+ chars not a single perfect. it's atrocious how they made it actually way worse than PoE1 5/6 links despite all the lies advetising the new system.


So you judging whole system with single example? Funny.

I was more lucky, i got like 5 perfect jewellers in first 200k kills. Does it mean i should come to forums and tell to nerf droprates? Would be weird and cringe.
Agreed with OP, ive sunk in 200 hours almost and only had 1 drop.

Thats a little too low of a drop rate.

Naturally if these become a little more common, their price will go down too.

That is not a bad thing however.

Ive had about 6 divines in the meantime, whereas a perfect jewellers is worth half that.

Feels off.
On trade league is actually more fair than poe1, because you can get the currency from other source to get you perfect jewel.

On SSF it is more fair too. Since instead of farming 1000 of the respective currency to guarantee a 6L craft, or just wasting an hour hurting your finger burning hundred to thousands of the link currency, you can just use a specific currency to guarantee the 6L on whatever you want.

And tbh, 5L is enough to complete any content, and most of the time we don't still have available a 5th gem that makes a huge diference on many skills, since you can't repeat without gem ascendency.

It's not fair on SSF at all because the damn item doesn't drop. In poe1 I'd have 1000 fusing by now but I don't even have a greater orb.
Lvl 90 3 greatest 0 perfect. Is six link not supposed to exist in this game? Lol. It’s absurd.
