My first Exalt:

Still waiting for my first Exalt after 600+ hours played.

what lol, ive found 4 in anarchy league alone so far, you got bad luck

I play solo a lot and probly couldn't tell u how many hours ive played total probly 1500-2000 hours but id say found about 8-10, in that time just from vendor everything for alts into fusing could've trade for 100 of them lol

I found 1, in anarchy somewhere. Stack it and forget it.

The crafting system was a really nice idea, but the rarity/randomness just makes me stack it all and forget about it.

I'm up to 252% iir and 40% iiq, still the best drop is a couple chaos and one low lvl unique, no gcp no exaults, starting to think the iir and iiq are BS because I have gotten better drops with very little iir and iiq.

I guess I´m lucky. Got 3 but only in maps and with some IIR equiped.

I've begun to think that as well. I don't notice any increase in rare item occurrence with higher iir. Probably in my head, but it sure seems that way.

I have 45% IIR.... o.O

I've had 2 drop. Both were on lvl ~24 chars in normal dark forest. Maybe I should just be lvling chars to 24 and clearing the forest over and over.

560 total character lvls here, no exalts (or items worth an exalt) dropped. I can't complain too much though; plenty of lower currency drops.

Crafting with alts, augs, regals, and alchs is extremely satisfying and often cost-efficient, at least for producing solid leveling items. Exalts, however, as is often observed, are useful for crafting only for a very small fraction of players. This is necessary because the alternative is to increase the prevalence of elite, crafted rares. I wish there were a cheaper way to improve rare items without expecting BIS results. Using augmentation orbs or even regal orbs on mid-level or mediocre high-level items is a small thrill, especially for self-found characters.

Using an exalt orb is dramatically more thrilling, as the stakes are some 50 times higher than for a regal--but the vast majority of us will never experience that thrill, as even if we get our hands on one, it's just not practical to use an exalt for crafting.

It wouldn't be very elegant, but I wish there were some more common, intermediate orb that would:

--Add an affix to a rare, but perhaps with the maximum affix level restricted to half the ilvl, or;
--Have a 50/50 chance of adding or removing an affix (or maybe even a vendor recipe with augmentation + scouring?).

Or some other mechanism that would allow crafting rares to take a more prominent role in the leveling process (where most players spend most of their time) without reducing the difficulty of high-level crafting.

iir doesn't matter in this game, you can drop it to zero and put everything in iiq

iir = more useles rares. I never found a SINGLE useful rare item playing close to 300 hours

i've been finding them roughly once a month. Mostly on normal with new characters.

Prisoners gate, the forest, pools and streams, ledge, lunaris 2, lunaris 3 and might be missing 1-2..

always from chests or normal mobs. never from rares/bosses
