What ive always wondered is why i have to trade 7 Vaal Gems with 1 Sacrifice Piece in order to get 1 Vaal Orb? That just a bit steep! 3 maybe 4 Vaal gems i could see but 7?

Probably some ratio that they want to maintain between the gems and the shards.

They aren't suppose to be something you can just spam without consequence...

The new mapping system says you should. Err, scratch that, you have to.

+1, buff drop rate. Also make the recipe less obnoxious.

Hi

1+ to increase Vaal orb drop rate, these orbs often do nothing at all. I have had 5 drop in my warbands wandering and 4 of them have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING:( the 5th turned my item into a rare.

cheers

My favourite piece of currency of all time. They need to increased the drop rate because there are too many good uses and not enough supply (maps, strongboxes, jewels, gems 20/20, shitty uniques with a potential, decent rares with shitty implicit mods, decent rares with no implicit...).

Vaal Orbs should definitely be plentiful. They are probably the best currency GGG has come out with.

Think on it: one thing everyone likes to worry about is the concept of inflation in the economy. Usually stated as "once there's a good piece of gear it's in use forever." This can be exasperated ESPECIALLY in permanent leagues with the advent of Mirror-service items, giving hundreds of "Loath Bane"s and "Glyph Mark"s among others.

Vaal orbs provide an exception to that. You can't Vaal a mirrored copy, nor can you Mirror a Vaal'd item. It's a one-and-done thing, and will always have permanent and severe effects; at the very least, suddenly resocketting it becomes a LOT less practical, as the cost goes up by over an order of magnitude. And often enough? It more or less utterly destroys the prior item.

Vaal orbs provide a very important "drain" for the economy; "Sink" isn't a good word, because sunk wealth (gear) is still providing some mass. This lets value (in gear) leave the economy ENTIRELY; very often an item will be worth MUCH less after a Vaal Orb; not just a genuine "bricked" result, but even an unpopular/less useful implicit can sink its value, (2% chaos resist is definitely NOT better than a local +50% crit chance on a Harbinger bow!) or even a NULL result can ruin it. (just compare the price of any "pure" item versus corrupts)

What makes you think they increased the drop rate of chaos orbs? They reduced vaal orbs because they are extremely powerful and should be used sparingly.

Well, that, and the current challenge set makes consuming a stack of them mandatory.

Buff drop rate a lot, like 200% or more.

Remember, the orb CAN only have good effects, but it can/WILL(!) brick items more often than not, or do nothing at all. It's the perfect currency for new players to go take a shot in the blue to try get some decent implicit on their ammy or a white slot on their weapon. Possibilities are endless, corrupt EVERYTHING, I say!

And while we're at it: Divination cards are a joke, arent they? Running 40 maps, no single div card. Then, some other area a wild Carrion Crow appears, yay - useless card, why is that card even in the game! Either buff Div cards or take em out, but they don't drop for nothing.

Vaal orbs are fun.

When sacrifice of vaal expansion was released, these were fairly common currency to find and paired with the high corrupted area frequency giving another method to quickly acquire vaal orbs.

Before master crafting was available, vaal orbs had a lot of reason to be used on random (leveling) gear as destroying the item didn't really matter. Now it is less incentivized to use vaal orbs even more. It makes me sad whenever things go excessively in the direction of 'hoard or trade'. Using this type of currency is fun :). Well just my opinion on this. I'd like to see more vaal orbs in this game.

2.0 has taken out all fun everywhere else. Vaal orb is all we got.


+1 to this.

Seems like they break gear a lot so a good item sink. Remember when jake was breaking dozens of legacy shavs? They should drop more But wirh even worse odds.
