Just saying F with your crop-ores swap "Shadow Balance nerf"

Atlas Runners is the only worthwhile thing to spend my gold on then I guess lol

Spending this much and not even sending it to a place where tattoos drop is top kek

Yes its true.

When i was running 3x maps runners in Keepers they was bringing me like 4-5 Divs day,not counting additional drops like 21/20 gems, Harvest juice and so on.

6 Divs and 2x fracturing from 50kk ship ,while you need to farm that ores amount for entire week from maps like crazy is a F joke.

I cat get that 6x Divs for 10-15 maps with Cassia with Mirages just from oils if few hours.

PS.Checked runegrafts - they compensated some value, total cost for all like 11-12 Divines, but its still no where near 3-5 Shards i was expecting.

Yeah one session of 36x maps from runners got me 4x divs and the harvest juice sells for so much. All the free eldritch currency helps to roll my gear too. And I also give them all my nightmare maps to run so I get random uber boss fragments I can sell, I get hundreds of chaos per session of atlas runners even if they find 0 divines.

Day 2 of the league I sent a 6 mil shipment of ore and dust and this was the result:




I got several high value tattoos. Fire res, 1% Block chance, etc.


Go figure.

Somebody actually sent a shipment to a place where high value tattoos appear. Go figure, indeed.

If its true - this is strange.
I mean - gz with 1x shard from 6 kk - but where's is balance then?

If players are getting 1x shard(sometimes) from that value, how i get 0x shards from 10x more value ship with good 3x Ores bonuses?

This is total BS, unbalanced , broken - it not should work like this.

Its like running t5 maps for 1 min for counting towards Exarch/Eater progression ,and at the same time not getting progress by running t14-t16's - broken.

Balance? It's a freaking gamble. Gambles by definition are NOT balanced.

Except if you do tons and tons and tons of runs, which I highly doubt you've done enough of 50 million shipments to get a true sample size to define "balance".


You are not guaranteed anything from any content you run in this game: there are certain things with better, more controllable odds....but you can still get unlucky. That is what PoE balance is. Strings of luck, strings of unluck, and people imemdiately crying foul instead of understanding probability and randomness.

Yeah I don't blame you for being pissed.

I've played Kingsmarch heavily, from when it was first introduced in Settlers, right through to now. I've played the changes and more and more it's seeming that the only value to be had from there is Svalin hunting, mappers, and the recombinator that was introduced with it.

I'm gonna run some Kalguur ore in my new map strat for a bit and send a couple shipments. I'll post the findings here for posterity, but if they're really bad I think I'm just going to cut the Bar scarab out and just keep the Atlas nodes in for Starfall Crater hunting while I do Beasts+Betrayal speed runs.
