WTF is this GGG?????

I've found 3. All in campaign.

Imo it's about just how quickly you clear as many mobs as possible. Fastest way is breach, mapping constantly and using a good filter to prevent more than say 1-2 portals being used per map. Don't pick up all of those crappy rares as all it does is tempt you to slam them. I swear I would slam 4-5 rares per map, then use chaos on them too. It's just not worth it in the long run.

Almost all of my div drops feel like they're from white mobs, and I only have 110 rarity atm. Go figure. I have found about 20 raw divs and I'm level 97. I do maps as quickly as I possibly can and always try to overlap the tablets. I do any map that's at least T13 and has rarity, though quant and rarity is better.

I am now completing maps I built up breach on while I wait for the patch that helps with finding citadels.

The best advice I have, is to build up 3-5 stash tabs of T12-15 maps, then reforge them into 15s and roll for rarity or IIQ&IIR. All of the bad t15s I corrupt because that make them T16 and can give them IIQ and/or IIR. The ones that remain garbage, I use on traveling nodes, or sell for 0.5Ex a pop. That takes a while though as I'm only willing to sell in bulk and people don't seem to grasp the concept of selling maps, not hosting them, regardless of how you title your party. This should give you about 2/3 of a tab of good maps you can run endlessly, making things more efficient.

Upcoming patch should give you at least
One Devine/8hrs played.

I'm making a lot more then this by hunting citadels.

Sadly, my current farming strategy will be nerfed to the ground after patch - highlighted citadels in the fog, easier bosses, multiple tries for pinacle boss fight, nobody will spend divines for fragments.

Wont get much for divine or things like perfect Jewelers that low. Character level has a lot more to do with drops than rarity.
Never started seeing steady divine drops till 90+. But even after that you then have to deal with the shadow loot throttles all ARPGS use to punish grinders. You start running 20 exalt packed up maps on good atlas points while in this loot throttle you will get less loot than a bare nekked blue map.
This loot throttle discourages you from spending much on maps. Nothing like putting in 20+ exalts on a map packed towers on the atlas running over 200 rarity with 100 rare monsters to get 2 exalts int he entire map because you looted too much that day already.

I found 2 so far, level 70+ with no clue about precursor tablets, etc. I'm mainly finding chaos orbs or vaal orbs. would do nicely with more divines though.. especially before endgame.

Tank the market

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I've sensed the loot throttle as well.

All Divine Orbs drop to players with an item rarity of 800%+. There just isn't enough for everyone. It's logical

I got only one in campaign, at level 44 and with almost 80hrs of playtime. I'm now level 75, enjoying the endgame at t7 maps, but I miss that feeling of droping a divine after you explode a mob

Even with high IIR you aren't going to find enough raw div drops to feel like you are making good currency, you have to be able to identify what items are worth, use meta trading strategies like constantly shuffling items through lower and lower b/o tabs, etc.

Majority of currency high end players make is going to be from selling items, they aren't finding 100 div raw to go buy stuff, they are making probably 80% of their wealth from selling items.

If you don't trade efficiently, if you take too long to be able to tell if an item is good or not (vets can do this almost instantly), and have knowledge of all the meta builds in the game and what mods they are looking for on each slot its going to hamper your maps per hour, which means you might have the same clear speed and gear/irr as someone else, but if you are fumbling around with items, leaving maps multiple times, listing everything individually they might be doing significantly maps as you in a given time frame.

If you want to get rich in trade, its not just throwing on IIR and running maps and dropping orbs, this isn't D4 handcrushed economics. You are going to have to put a considerable amount of time learning how to trade and interact with the market, and premium stash tabs no longer are just a QOL or luxury they are absolutely mandatory.
