Early Access Discussion - Basic currency drops - Forum

" Vzwson#6959 wrote: Having a real hard time believing you. That, or you're juicing completely incorrectly. I too originally was complaining about the drops and the way they feel. After increasing my sample size and pushing my character to 150 rarity, I've found less consistent tinks, but overall more raw currency drops in total. I've been running chaotic rarity omens with 3x quantity tablets and I've been having pretty insane results. There is overall LESS currency and loot dropping from the maps, but the rare currency is coming in hordes. In a 10 map stretch last night I dropped 3x Omen of Lights, 4 Perfect Exalted and around 1-2 Div per map. I had a single map drop 5 Div too. The quantity nerf feels bad, but if your prepping your juice properly, it still rains. I can hardly believe in what i see in my inventory after every map as well. To get 5-15 exalts is exceedingly frustrating for me. Haven't dropped a single perfect exalt yet this league. But i just can't figure it out what is wrong. As you say, I have tried 5 maps now with 9-10 quantity of items dropped on tablets and 125-127 rarity on maps (chaotic rarity + abyssal depths desecration). This is a compilation of those 5 maps with an example of a waystone, tablets, stats for maps and my miserable loot Spoiler I am preparing to try rarity waystone + quantity of rare monsters on tablets now. And maybe quantity of rare monsters on both waystone and tablets after that.	Posted by AmyLeeNordan#0837 on Oct 9, 2025, 1:25:17 PM Quote this Post
Why run three copies of the same tablet type? It's not giving you extra alters. Replace one with an Irradiated, and the other with literally any other tablet type of your choosing.	Posted by The_Song#4903 on Oct 9, 2025, 6:30:33 PM Quote this Post

Have tried rare monsters on tablets (ritual though, breach is a bit overwhelming for me atm). Tried paranoia 3x - map is harder, but I don't feel it to be more rewarding (other than getting some splinters) I plan to try stacking rare monsters again now after 0.3.1b update. https://poe2db.tw you can find bioms there, use search.

At these rates, it feels like we should be getting 5 Divines every 2 maps Something is very wrong then.	Posted by Karavadonis#7672 on Oct 9, 2025, 9:32:46 PM Quote this Post
Full groups is the way to make currency	Posted by argoniashawks#7828 on Oct 9, 2025, 10:47:08 PM Quote this Post
Something is definitely broken. I was having good loot just running T15s leaving myself one revive and only sometimes using delirium. As soon as the update hit, I was getting worse than low tide un modded maps. Even running 3 tablets with rarity and no revives I'm getting stuff all. I've actually quit playing. Also a bunch of atlas nodes are no longer working. I've posted multiple bugs with no replies.	Posted by acehornet33#6506 on Oct 10, 2025, 2:22:46 AM Quote this Post
I have a correctly specced atlas, over 150% rarity, correctly crafted waystones and am using optimal tablets but I'm still not breaking even on my investment. I'm slowly running out of currency and am pretty much softlocked because I can't earn any currency to progress my character with. I even got so frustrated that I tried turning off my loot filter and price checking every single item that drops but it's just not happening. I have no idea how other people are claiming to get drops with the same setup as me. It's like someone put a curse on my account.

Get rid of the quant tablets and change them for rare monster tablets. Quant = 30% max Rare monster = 120% max Each additional rare is basically equal to one extra quant. In this current iteration the math should be drastically in favor of extra rares. Also, RNG is RNG. You have to consider your averages across 30,40,50 maps. Not 5.

Replace one with an Irradiated, and the other with literally any other tablet type of your choosing. The idea here is to specialize in ritual. I know I don't get more rituals per map by doing this, but instead I gain - Ritual Favours in your Maps have #% increased chance to be Omens - Deferring Favours at Ritual Altars in your Maps costs #% increased Tribute - Rerolling Favours at Ritual Altars in your Maps costs #% increased Tribute I thought about trying to squeeze in more stats (irradiated for example) but without loosing any of stats from above it seems to be rather pricey. So I choose to stick with this strategy for now, and in the meantime trying to fix my basic currency drops problem.	Posted by AmyLeeNordan#0837 on Oct 10, 2025, 2:37:30 PM Quote this Post
