The scarcity of Greater and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs.

Yeah they're obscenely hard to find. I've found ONE greater so far, no perfect, and I'm up to T8 or 9 maps so far (can't remember right now). Supports are somewhat less important now so it's not as huge of an issue as it would be in poe1, but it's still bad.

Why not say that? I think that's perfectly reasonable. Personally, I think we should have all of our skills max-linked by the end of the campaign. That way you can go into the "endgame" with a full build, and actually try out different skills and supports.

I disagree completely with this.

The whole point of an endgame, is to keep progressing and improving your character. Every aspect that is "perfect" or fulfilled at the end of the campaign, is on less thing to improve in the endgame. One less reason to keep playing. And there isn't a single reason to play a character when your character progression is "done", at least in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm pushing level 80 and haven't dropped a greater jeweller's orb yet, which seems rough running around with no 5 or 6 links.

But no more gem/skill progression when you're not even half finished (the acts) with the game? That would be bad.

Like I said, I think timing it around the same time as full ascendancy points would be a reasonable middle ground. You can still improve gem quality and other things like that.

In the end, it's a preference thing and I get that. I'm not gonna play the endgame for hundreds of hours like some people, so maybe they prefer to be drip fed the gems.

Agreed.

They should change them just like they did charm slots on belts.

You get lesser jeweller orbs in the first 3 acts, maybe a few guaranteed as quest rewards or from major story bosses. Then act 4-6 drops greater jeweller orbs and maybe has 1 or 2 quest rewards so you can get a few 5-links and experiment more with your build. This ensures players will get hard-stuck on bosses way less often.

And then Perfect Jeweller Orbs just have a small % chance to drop in tier 1 maps, that droprate increases with each tier of map until they have a pretty good droprate in t15-t16s. Like why do people need to be stuck with 3 and 4-links in cruel campaign? The only reason I can think of is that the devs want this game to be Ruthless 2.0.

Greater? Perfect? I'd be happy to find Lesser! I found 5 Lesser Jewelers in total (SSF obviously)

SSF in POE1 was great fun, SSF in POE2 is nightmare, playable only if you are a streamer/no-lifer who plays 12+ hours a day.

You guys know that vaal Orbs exist right?

We can corrupt gems? Didnt know that. If I have 20% quality and 4 sockets already, whats the worst case scenario? Can it lose a socket? Lose quality? How can I brick my gem?

For me it felt like the greater one was a deterministic one time drop, i got it late campaign and i never found one in maps, t10s now. not even another 4 link one...

Yes, yes and yes.

It can lose a socket, and in that case, it's bricked, as it is corrupted and you can't apply a jeweller's orb on it again. It can also lose quality.

meh, I think it's ok, it is cheaper than PoE to buy the orbs for exalts... fine by me
