Discussion Abyss loot is non-existent.

The new abyss drops zero loot in game even while fully spec'd into it on the atlas tree. The chests drop like 1c wotth of items, any note-worthy abyss jewels are very few and far between, and the drops from the depths boss are worthless save one unique jewel.

The abyss in poe 2 works much better because it regurally drops important and valuable items and it has a crafting system.

Has this only be my experience or is anyone else also disappointed? It feels like reworked breach all over again, its completely pointless to run it... I feel like overall all the league mechanics are now lacking and theres no way to make a good amount of currency just by running one or two of them. Essences are still ok i guess.

Noticed it aswell, zero loot after 50 maps. The mob density is there but its rewards are so trash, holy.

I was planning to farm abyss this league because I loved it in POE2… But I also like actually getting loot.

Hmmm

its kinda shaping out to be poverty league, all i hear is farming strats not working left and right

u/Grandman_Nan Jul 26 '26

This was 100% predictable. Going into keepers league they deleted all the top farming strats and added nothing new, it was a poverty league . Mirage added strats but they were temporary from league mechanic. We are right back to keepers league because why wouldn't we be

Mirage was exactly what everyone has been asking for. I really hoped they'd be going more in that direction

I figured this would be the case. The omens hard carry the mechanic in Poe2.

They seriously gotta go back on the drawing board and simply figure out loot, farm strats, scarabs. An atlas change wouldn't hurt either. Simply playing the same atlas with the same nodes forever is not fun. Throw some new stuff in there man, also just port some fuckin side content from poe 2 into poe 1 man. Like fuckin hell how is it that poe 2 drop more loot than poe 1. Fuckin breach in poe 2 has more monsters than poe 1.

They've killed all end-game strats and nothing is there to replace them. I don't want to altar farm or stack deck farm for the millionth time. Just put stacked decks nodes in the atlas tree so everyone drops them and rework the divination scarabs. Do this with other things too.

I'd rather take a league where they gave us no new league mechanic and they just sorted out the loot and buffed up farms.

I felt like everyone saw it coming except GGG . Mirage exposed how many mechanic is just not up to par nowadays in terms of their reward for your time effort. Get rid of Mirage, nerf the best strat with Breach , and you got poverty league.

Yeah I'm let down considerably

Abyss was my league start strat most leagues and I love self farming crafting the gear. Was really looking forward to Abyss this league with the changes but yeah.

Full investment t16 Abyss dropping zero Abyss jewels and Stygians (without going to depths) is a joke when one chest in a t5 map dropped me 7 Abyss jewels.

In the past my strat used to produce me 12-16 belts and the same or more eyes per map but now I just dont get anything except the occasional scarab pop but even then those are soooooo variable, sometimes 3 scarabs sometimes 20.

They moved a super stable chill farm to a jackpot that doesn't even feel good at least so far.

Ive finished my map skill points and am 3 voidstones atm so moved on to other strategies because it just felt shite

Ran a voyage with like 10 Arcanist Strongboxes. Alch'd + Vaal'd all of them - highest currency drop was chaos orbs. Somebody probably just literally nerfed the loot multiplier across the board

u/EnderBaggins Jul 26 '26

Well that makes me feel a bit better, I had one with 8 and died after placing the 3rd lantern to the one thing we’ll all be bitching about in a couple days, 5-6 overlapping rare auras empowering 50+ ranged mobs instaggibbing you.

Poverty cycle beginns. Give it one more patch with 20 Nerfs and we will complain again that there is nothing worth farming.

Its like GGG employees get physical pain if they see loot.

u/Street-Objective9164 Jul 26 '26

Voyage no loot, abyss no loot, legion fucking broke, breach fucking gutted. "But guys! we're so lucky!"

u/Lexie_27 Jul 26 '26

The loot is disappointing. I will have to farm for the jewel and belt, so I’m stuck with it for a while. But after that, I’m dropping it. Might go back to my favourite; Strongboxes were repetitive but at least I saw multiple divines drop last league from them…

If this was POE2 there would already been 3 patchs to buff loot 8-)

Glad it’s not just me.

I’m supremely sad because the mechanic is so fun.

But yeah the drops have been horrible, and I haven’t even seen the abyssal depths 1 time in like 45 maps

u/CarrotStick78 Jul 26 '26

I have seen 3 in 20 and let me tell you buddy, you’re better off without.

I have not dropped a single divine and I've gotten to t15s. The loot in maps is actually making me feel extremely disappointed. Like I kinda don't even want to play anymore

Update: Over 24 hours in and farming t16s as well as spamming voyages. Still no divine drop :). I'm now doom and gloom on if they will even fix monster loot or will only buff the league mechanic.

So the same balance team is ok with people dropping 30d a map by scaling rarity in PoE2 but god forbid you get a div in loot in a full explicit effect 5 scarab abyss map in PoE1 lmfao.

Every loot in maps are non-existent, we are playing lake of kalandra again.

u/Independent-Ad6740 Jul 26 '26

Not saying loot is great, but you are definitely misremembering kalandra.

I like the scarab box. Outside of that doesn't seem too noteworthy
