Sick of the grind

It's not gonna work like that. My best drop this league is < 10 div and i am level 100 solo and i have invested ~150 div in my char. That's about the same for almost every league. Sometimes i got one of those cards that is worth a lot like Apothecary or House of Mirrors, most of the times it is wealth just due to trading away items that are in demand.

0 locks for me so far and 0 mirrors since 2014, i got some of those reflecting mists in past league, i heard they are very rare, but big whoopdidu

And i would never comapre anything to streamer drops. 1st they play a lot more, sicne it is work for them, 2nd they might have some organized group thingy going on where people trade for them or sth and 3rd promotional drops to motivate thousands of viewers could be a thing, i wouldn#t blame them and it sure looks like it sometimes.

Have you tried playing more by not sleeping?

Played since 2017, usually have 1-2 100s per league with 2mil+ kills per char at the end. Any char that didn't make 100 gets deleted, so lots of extra kills there.

I have not seen a MB, Headhunter or Mirror (outside of Affliction, where I got one of them). It is, what it is.

Game's still fun and it's still "easy enough" to make currency without relying on big drops.

Been playing this game for 4 years with a **** ton of hours played and never dropped a mirror, mageblood, mirror shards or anything else of great value. 2 years ago dropped a svalinn but thats about it. Tired of seeing streamers who party up getting a **** ton of loot and being a single player can't compete. If GGG can't make single players get same loot I'm out.

missing some key information here:

If you wanted a mageblood drop, HOW did you go about upping your chances re: juicing strategy and content?

Did you ever hunt cards for all these items instead of the items themselves?

Have you ever received them via trade of any kind?


Raw drops are like winning the lottery: but luckily the entire point of the extreme lottery drop rates in this game is that you.........don't wait for the raw drop. If you've been playing as long or as many hours as you say, and this hasn't clicked for you LONG ago...you've been playing with your eyes, ears, and brain closed. If you haven't learned how to build wealth or trade (there is only one character on your profile that's ssf), you have missed out on learning a full 50% or more of how this game works.


I am a 100% single player, never EVER in my entire 14 years with this game partied up with someone else to farm or play....that doesn't mean I won't use trade. Single player means something different for PoE versus, say, Final Fantasy...and it is frankly YOUR fault you never learned that. It's no secret that you can work your way up to a mirror / mageblood / any of those chase uniques if given a week of regular endgame play and a general knowledge of how to trade (perhaps not the mirror for many).

Do I wish there was a true single player mode with drop rates adjusted to reality without trade? ABSOLUTELY. But it doesn't exist in this game. And how else do you play a game except to....learn the environment and rules, and master them as they are presented? It does no good to sit on the forum complaining about something that could have been solved personally thousands of hours ago.
