Currency drop chances?

Hey, normaly I don´t like those topics. Who ever plays a game which is based on RNG should never complain about it, or just leave the game if he doesn´t like it.

For me it is more that I would like to here some experience from other gamers.

I´m now level 57 in hardcore and I have never found a Chaos, Divine or Exalted Orb.. I´m super happy when I find every 50 hours an Alchemy, but that´s mainly it.

Is this normal? Like is the dropchance for those currencys really so super low that I need more than 100 hours to find at least one single piece?

Or is my RNG insanely bad?

some experiences about equal bad RNG might lower my frustration ^^ anyone?

Sadly, your luck is bad. >< One level 60 sc character and two dropped exalts, 1 dropped gcp, and probably 10+ chaos. This is the problem with RNG systems. Some people have insane luck and others have the worst luck ever. You could in theory go an entire lifespan of the game and never have an exalt drop.

the drop rate isnt fixed, unlike d2.
as d3 and some others games its subject to be modified anytime and is kept secret...

too low for sure ;)

If you are getting at least 0.5 alteration orbs per minute on average in currency worth, you shouldn't complain.

No chaos drops is unusual... I've had quite a few of those. But it doesn't mean you're bugged or anything, only that you've noticed one odd thing about your distribution. I'm sure if I looked for one, I could find something odd about mine too. You've not been playing long enough for anything "normal" to be well defined. You're not even "finished" with one character yet. Once you've gotten six characters to 70+, you can consider yourself an old timer.

Here's what I got leveling one character to level 72 and thoroughly clearing all areas in all difficulties and some lunaris and map farming as well:



Probably 25 chaos and a few stacks of alchemy too, hard to say as I used them all.

I have 6-7 characters all lvl 60+, like 5 in their 30's. Playing almost a year, I have found 2 exalts, 1 divine, 5 regals, chaos is close to a couple a day, but I am farming all day when I play.

just keep vendor every blue and yellow that drops, also there is recipes to get chaos and keep on grinding leveling you will see more

Don´t get me wrong, I will keep playing even if my RNG is super bad. I just wished there were a mechnanic that would not be that random. Like 0,001% dropchance for every monster killed and resets after I found something useful ^^ (just a wild idea coming from a frustrated mind^^)

thx for the answers guys

Started playing shortly after OB started. 2x 60+ characters.

I've gotten: 1x Exalt, 1x GCP, 2x Divine, 3x Regal. Never really kept track of the others. These are drop-only, though. I also have a real-life friend who found 3 Exalts in a week, so your RNG drop rates can really vary.

No Chaos, as someone said, is a little rare and unfortunate, though...

I wonder how everyone would feel if they had a little "long-term" reward - for example, a single GCP for every 10 hours of cumulative play, or every X amount of EXP. Sure, the no-lifers would definitely stand to gain from that, but at least the RNG-unfortunate ones would have a little bit of hope. Or 1x GCP if no GCP has dropped for you over the last 10 hours; something like a countdown timer that resets on a GCP drop.
