Orb of Scouring + Orb of Chance

Today it’s already been written about everywhere


I'm only human; I can't be everywhere, nor do I want to. I avoid Reddit and X like the plague. But if I'm wrong and GGG have written about this here on these forums, than fine.

Okay. And what's the purpose of creating this topic?


Discussing use cases for scour+chance for example.

I've never done that in over 12 years of PoE and can't even think of a use case. That makes me curious since some people are really excited for this change.


Gambling for ralakesh boots and wasting the 2000 chance orbs sitting in inventory saves about 3000 clicks for 1000 tries + moving the mouse

very good qol

and yet this thread got here first, and likely much easier to not overlook in patch notes.

What is your problem? General Discussion is just that: GENERAL discussion. It can be anything it wants to be. Police the feedback forum. Police the bug forum. Keep your other policing hangups out of other people's GENERAL discussion.

It's on-topic, so you can't complain that it should be in the off-topic forum...


Possible avenues of discussion that seem beyond your single-mindedness:
1) Other combos of currency that can be done in the future
2) How this might effect the economy if chance and scours are now used for this, even if a little bit
3) What uniques are best suited to be done this way for folks sitting on thousands of orbs

etc.


All because someone decided to start a general discussion about this brand new thing coming in 3.26
Starting anew....with PoE 2

I'm really struggling to see your issues with this thread. Just a PoE player wanting to share some information that a lot of players probably don't know about. The audacity, right?

Keep your forum policing to yourself. As for your questions: using Orbs of Chance has long been one of the meta ways to obtain some of the most valuable unique items throughout most of the game’s history and that was before any such "QOL" features existed. Essentially, this just automates an already established practice. It’s not a new mechanic.

Just curious what motivates people to create threads about something new, yet already widely known. Is it a desire for recognition? An attempt to show they can spot what's most relevant? I don't know

Then again, what am I even saying - it seems most people here don’t even understand what an Orb of Chance actually does.

Don’t tell me I can’t question the point of a thread just because I’m not arguing about its content. Classic forum cop behavior
This was great news! Thanks for bringing to my attention. And the timing was perfect too.
