Basic currency drops

It's like someone put a curse on my account.

Exactly my thoughts. Or may be account affinity towards some sort of loot. I see a lot of tiered rares drop for me, but i pretty much refuse to sort those on SC Trade. The best ones are for a couple of exalts on the market anyway.

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.

I've tied rare monsters today. These results are from 10 maps only, nevertheless nothing changes at all. I would expect at least a couple more exalts, chaos, annul...

Good thing the devs take a look at HC and can see that many of the complaints derive from SC itself, not the state of the game itself.

There are always two or three sides to a coin. Most things are cheap in SC for players. They can buy gear that is normally expensive for almost nothing.


One says it is so expensive, another it is so cheap.

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.

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.

If you want to specialize in Ritual, or rather in getting Ritual rewards, it seems more effective to run 3 times as many maps with ritual by using one tablet at a time than lose out on usages by using them together just to stack those mods.

I have a feeling ritual is ruining your overall loot table. Im not joking, try to run breach tablets with rare monster + extra breach chance x2 + 1 irradiated rare monsters + any mod, paranoia and rarity omen, dececrate extra abysses or extra monsters spawn only. On map i have 350-400% rare monsters, 200+ rarity. I kid you not, almost every map i have a ting. For example i ran 3 maps(2 of them were water biom) before sleep yesterday and got at least 5 raw divs, 2 perfect exalts and other currency. Having 2-4 breaches per map feels great.

I am not sure my character can handle this now, but I'll try it.

In the meantime i have tried 5 maps with Local Knowledge. Still feeling that something is wrong.

Ok, I see your point. My problem is that i am unable to run more than a few maps per day and I prefer to almost full clear them. So my "specialization in ritual" is not optimized. And honestly most certainly done very wrong. I can imagine not running rarity but rare monsters for maps and running straight from one ritual to another and boss to finish the map, with one ritual tablet for omens, one irradiated tablet and one overseer tablet might boost my outcome. Thanks for advice, I will definitely try your strategy some time!

But for now I would love to fix my basic currency in normal maps situation. Without considering any mechanics as it should always be a valid choice (at least my understanding of how devs put it) to run only maps without side content. I really want to understand if my map crafting, tablet prefix choices and atlas spec are somehow wrong or if there is some sort of bug going on for my char.

I love how GGG assess all the complaints for the game in general. They are never jumping straight to changing things as they are demanded by players, but rather dig deeper for some underlying cause. Great example was in 0.1. The complaints were that waystones were unsustainable - root of the problem was that people just died to much to get them dropped.

SC Trade and HC Trade in any poe results in different experience with trade, because of the amount of players that are playing and are able to progress in that respective league. Should the amount of player base rise in HCT by 50%, the respective amount of items will become less valuable as there will be an abundance of them. And vice versa for SCT. This is not about the state of the game, that is just how market works.

What i am trying to solve in this thread is most likely either my incompetence in this game or a bug. As I said, I see a lot of people happily posting about their 1-2 divs and other valuable stuff (like perfect exalts, annuls, fractures, chaos) per map, but when I try to replicate their steps, i get nothing. I am not judging if it is to easy or to hard to get the currency (or any stuff in this game) here. I am just trying to solve a mystery.

I am also not alone in these struggles btw. But i don't think that amounts dropping in general is the root cause of this specific problem.

Just wanted to say that I agree with original poster. This isn't fun. I am running the most rippy maps and rarely get anything of any substance. I am at a loss of what to do. If they want me to keep playing, something has to give.

Yes I agree, and also PLEASE STOP FORCING ME TO PICK UP CURRENCY ONE BY ONE FROM THE GROUND! IT’S THE YEAR 2025, STOP WITH YOUR BOOMER QOL NONSENSE. THE GAME ENGINE COULD SEND THEM DIRECTLY TO MY CURRENCY TAB AND I DON’T EVEN CARE ABOUT "THIS IS DA WAE" ASS. SAME FOR THE ANGE TRADES. JUST SEND THE DAMN CURRENCY TO MY CURRENCY TAB AND STOP WASTEING MY TIME WITH UNFUN MICROMANAGEMENT I’VE BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME FOR OVER A DECADE, IT’S ABSOLUTE TORTURE.
