Exalted Orb Drop Rate in Standard

Ignore all troll responses of RNG is RNG (sic).

PoE is a basically a starvation arpg and as such the high end orbs are a "once in a blue moon" drop so 300 hours is not nearly enough time to play before getting your first exalt to drop. You should get one by 3000 hours of playing. You should already know that GGG codes PoE for long term (years) playing and as such exalts and other high end items are going to always be a rare drop. I'm still waiting after 3.75+ years and burning up 1000s of hours of time to get a 6L to drop.

As I understand it, increased rarity doesn't change the amount and type of currency you get.

That sounds correct. From what I understand, it's quantity that plays into currency. IR and IIQ doesn't change the type of currency you get, but higher IIQ means more drops, and more drops mean more chances I suppose.

Haha yeah, I mean, I'm a sucker for Diablo and PoE. I know what I got myself into when became invested in this game. After hearing some people's experiences with loot, I have a better understanding of how the drop mechanics work now.

What you said makes sense, but on the other hand, like MrTremere said earlier the economy will kick in and self regulate itself so that at points in the game's life-cycle it would make more sense to craft higher-end items than to grind forever for it.

Hug your dog exalted orbs will drop after killing a few crabs.

The easiest way to get exalts to drop is not to hunt for them.

I've only ever seen one exalt...

1 in standard, with now a level 90, played standard only through Talisman and Perandus.
0 in Prophecy, with now a level 80.

This is the primary failing of standard the game is built around trade . therefore you are supposed to factor in selling those super good items drops in exa as well.

but in practice the prices of items have fallen so much that you simply wont find you exa alternative.


so in standard you need to target farm for somthing that will net you consistent wealth.


1 running yellow maps in magic find gear well get you chaos recipe and jeweler orbs in a bundance

2 running content no one feels like running will sometimes generate big ticket items

one good example would be uber lab. not many people on standard care enough to run lab at all. part of me thinks this is because the people who like to run labs are also people who like to do leagues and start fresh. I have no proof but i just feel that is how it works.

regardless because of this lack of interest .. there are almost no death's door boots on standard. you may get 5 -7 available at any one time. and they range from 5 - 10 exa each.


but of course there is a reason they are so rare .. lab is a stamina exercise.

Than i must be very lucky to find more than 30ex on my own. And no i do not trade at all, so far i only bought a Atziri's Disfavour and a Romira's Banquet and i vendor all uniques i already found.

IIR and IIQ will increase all of your drops still you need to grind. If you can't stand the grind, trade.

It's not just rng you just need to clear faster.

The build that clears maps in x minutes will find twice as much exalts than the build that clears it in .5x.
