Exalted Orb Drop Rate in Standard

Hello everyone!

I'm a very casual PoE player who has played basically only ever in Standard league. After clocking 300 hours on Steam, I still haven't gotten an Exalted Orb drop once.

Am I a little sad? Not going to lie yes, but I understand RNG. However, as I've been stalking these forums every now and then, it seems that other players can manage to find an Exalted Orb once at least every two weeks of playing. I imagine they clock quite a few hours into this game each week, but still.

My question is, do Exalted Orbs drop more often in challenge leagues than they do in Standard? To me, it would make sense since Standard's economy is so saturated with... everything. Of course, I guess there's no real way to "confirm" this but is anyone else in the same boat as I am? Or am I just quite unlucky?

First, you aren't too unlucky. Plenty of people went that long without an exalt drop.

A question? Do you run uber lab at all? I have had a lot of luck finding them from currency chests in there. Secondarily, I have had some luck finding them in Mao Kun. If you want to see your first shiny exalt drop, those are two fabulous places to start.

Another nameless player once said "You don't find Exalted Orbs, Exalted Orbs find you.

That being said, I've clocked in over 2100 hours, and i've probably had about 7 pure exalted drop. I remember quite vividly when my first one dropped it was about 1400 hours into the game. I do not idle this game, when I play it I no life the hell outta it, so if that gives you any idea about how hard it is to actually have one drop... then there ya go.

Mind you, I do tend to try to build pure clear speed builds. I would say before 1400 hours I was still figuring out the game, because this game has so much to it other than mapping and doing gorge rotations, that being said the result of the characters I created were rather lacking in clear speed and or viability into maps.
