Where's the currency?

Am I the only one not getting normal currency drops? My experience so far:
- Plenty of chaos orb drops.
- I've had 6 regals al league; only 2 natural drop. The other 4 from mercs. This seriously hampers my crafting and selling. And regals on exchange are 1:1 with chaos? Why are they that rare? Why am I not seeing any?
- I haven't seen a single exalt. Not...a...single...one. Also ridiculously hampering to crafting. And they're worth 34 chaos on exchange?
- I haven't seen a single natural div drop, only gotten them through selling on trade.

To be fair I'm only on tier 11 maps or so. But I've been playing near 6-8 hours a day since league start except a couple days where I had surgery.

I can't realistically take anything I find past magic to rare without currency. This is the most restrictive league I've played so far. Is my RNG just wacky? Is this similar to others' experience?

This was at the beginning of the league but now they fixed it. Let me know your game name i can throw some currency your way.

I am referring to POE2.

I appreciate the sentiment, but wasn't looking for charity. Just sharing my experience with the current POE1 league.

/kills ?
Rarity?

I've naturally found tons of regals.
Never bought a single.

My /kills indicates 105,658. I don't typically carry much rarity. At this moment only 26%. I know that's very low. But I've never really felt that it hindered my normal play, just recognized I'd never hit the same high end wealth levels as other players.

I've gotten a total of maybe a dozen regals this whole time so far, most of them from secondary sources like the town. Almost no natural drops at all.

Expedition, Kingsmarch ships, Blight and Harbinger, maybe Incusrion to some extent.
Forget ground loot, forget alch and go - they killed it. You need a solid atlas strat, scarabs and gold.

At the beginning of every league the very first mechanic you should do is expedition.

Even in yellow maps you'll get enough coins to buy tons of currency and crafting materials.


I've got dozens of regals and last I looked I had a couple dozen exalts, at least 90% of which I bought from Tujen.

My first div in settlers than this current league was bought from Tujen.

Tujen is a good boy.

You'll get tons of small currency from running searing exarch influence alone.
Exalts and divines are still quite rare raw drops, even with high rarity and quantity.

In my pocket.
