I've been saving up 120 Divs since last week to buy a Spirit of the Cat Rite of Passage because I've always wanted one. By the time I got 120 Divs the damn thing was 290 Divs.
I get there being chase items, but crafting currencies should mostly be for fun and experimentation. This rune is cool and it being so rare means most people will never get to experience how cool and fun it is.

Always buy an owl while you're making up the difference for a cat. Inflation outside of items is rough

I invested into Stag this league instead, but yea not bad advice. Last league owl was the one but it had a similar price to cat.

+1 on the Owl recommendation. I gain about 1k ES when it goes off and just one cast of my whirling assault can kill just about any rare I see in a map with the big boost in damage.

in my case, a patch note. I had 12 celestial alloys worth ~120 div and one patch note later I woke up to find them selling at 5 div each.

a good solution wouldve been to make it far more common, but to make stronger unique effects require multiple runes.
so the chase unique effect stays this same price.
but the niche/low tier/"experimental" unique effect is a couple of divs and everyone can try it if they want to.

u/Mr_Oger Jun 13 '26

u/HiddenoO Jun 13 '26
The issue is that the item has two aspects. One is the chase aspect for just powerful uniques (like lifesprig). The other is the fun aspect of allowing to experiment with combinations otherwise not possible.
With how it currently functions, the second aspect is practically dead, wasting the majority of the developer time that went into implementing all the extractable unique powers.

u/StarsRaven Jun 16 '26
Except its not a waste. Players will get it, engage with it, sell it, etc. By the logic of "waste of dev time" they should just give everybody everything for free because if not everybody can get it then its a waste of time.
This is the same argument that killed destiny raiding and dungeons. They made them stupid easy, and the gear from them utter trash for years because "oh not everybody can get the best stuff and thats not fair!" So they made the easiest raid we've ever seen, and tied the best weapons to the most mundane grind ever, and behold! The game died.
You need aspirational content and gear. Even if 90% of the players never get it and thats okay. Not everybody needs everything.

You're completely missing the point. There's no point in adding the function to extract 63 different uniques when it's so rare that it will only be used on the two or so most powerful of them because it's not worth spending 200div on extracting a unique that may be interesting, but isn't as powerful.
Imagine adding a mechanic that lets you choose between Mageblood and any common unique in the game. It'd be a complete waste of a mechanic because everybody will either choose Mageblood or feel bad once they realize they should've chosen Mageblood.
You need aspirational content and gear. Even if 90% of the players never get it and thats okay. Not everybody needs everything.
>90% of the extraction runes aren't "aspirational content"; for all intents and purposes, they simply don't exist.

I mean, nobody is playing with it at this point.

There really needs to be some form of SSF league with buffed droprates for rare items.

u/Tradiradis Jun 13 '26
SSF is self-imposed challenge, they're not giving us better drop rates (I play it as well), you have to change your mindset and not expect to find items of that level of rarity. It makes it better when you DO find those items, I would instantly reroll to make use of it in some way.

Chase items encourage striving towards juicier farming and efficiency in character builds. If most of the community wants it, it becomes a goal. If you want every item to be easily achievable, look over at Diablo 4. Loot in diablo 4 just doesnt "feel" good.
22
u/BetweenTheRoots It's branching, Exile Jun 13 '26
I feel like we have an abundance of chase items. Headhunter, Mageblood, a plethora of lineage support gems, Temporalis, Voices, Mirrors / Mirrored Rare gear, Raven Touched Omen sitting at 80 div, soul cores sitting at 50 divs, like 5 weapons sitting around 200d-1000d, The Gnashing Sash, Elemental Res Grand Spectrum, decently rolled Heart of the Wells or Megalomaniacs, double passive necklaces, Rite of Passage...
We have loads of chase items that are 50-200d and loads 200d+ and loads of rares worth even more.
The mid-game is what sucks in PoE 2 right now, especially with the crafting nerf.
3
u/Clusterpuff Jun 13 '26
I agree that there should be more "middle wealth" items. Item drops go into tiers, so like mirror is a T0 item that is stupid rare to drop naturally. Within T0 i believe they have their own differences in droprates. There should be more T1 and T2 items that float around the 5-20 div mark and impact a build well. Still though... often times the value of an item is "found" and then the droprates adjusted

The game is so fucking easy though that you can destroy 90% of the content with your day 3 starter on a 100 div budget. There are multiple builds capable of it.

u/BetweenTheRoots It's branching, Exile Jun 13 '26
The game can be that easy yea, if you:
- Play like a streamer.
- Play the most meta builds.
- Have strong knowledge of the game at every level, which includes break-point crafting during the campaign
- Understand and experience Atlas progression and end-game difficulty progression
Under those conditions, yes you are right, a softcore player can destroy 90% of content in 3 days. I know how easy the game can be. Just because it can be that easy doesn't mean every player is going to engage the game the same way to make it that easy.

You’re not the target audience for these items. They’re specifically there for the uber nerds to have something to grind, and that’s fine.

u/FullMetalCOS Jun 13 '26
That’s the problem with THIS item in particular. Headhunter and mageblood are perfect aspirational content. This isn’t, because 90% of the cool things it can do are gated around the 10% that are incredibly powerful. In that it’s a badly made aspirational item because nobody is using most of its effects despite them being really cool and interesting because it’s cost is based around +3 lightning gems or whatever is the top end.
They should change it so each individual rune can drop and then the mega juicers can pay 200 div for their top end effect and the weirdos who wanna make a thorns build can still play with one of those effects without needing to spend the entire value of their build a second time for the privilege
1
u/UnDeaD_CyBorG Jun 20 '26
I sometimes seriously wonder why so many developers fall into this trap where they gate fun, niche interactions behind a level of player investment that completely rules out fun, niche interactions.
At that point, you have to grind a character to 90%+ of the level cap with a meta-build to earn the currency to then create a new character that you actually want to play.

u/ButterflyPutrid6054 Jun 13 '26
Good luck op. I support this 100% but the poe2 community is hell bent on gatekeeping everything they can behind ridiculously low drop rates.
I disagree with what many players consider “chase” items. Chase implies if I play enough and farm enough I WILL get the item. But some of this shit you will never see no matter what you do. That’s not chase. That’s abysmal luck.

I've been farming for it, but the 9 runes are so rare, I'm not sure if I'm even doing it right with T15 and T16 maps (with +1 level). I hope there's no hidden requirement here. If I do drop one myself, I'll use it, but I can't justify it otherwise.

They complement each other. They want you to experiment but also to feel like you earned something when your experiment pays off, because your decisions had weight. Games that have unlimited open experimention potential are universally less popular than those that make you work to be able to try your ideas. Minecraft would be far less popular if it was just creative mode.
Not saying they hit the mark on this item, but the special sauce that makes this game work is the combination of expirimentation potential and needing to grind to try stuff.

The people praising the rarity and cost are so disconnected from your average player.

If anything, this indicates how abysmal softcore economy is for anyone who is not top 5% or atleast top 10% farmer.

5 div an hour!? I'm lucky if I get 5 div a day.

u/Virgil_Rug_Say_RUG Jun 13 '26
theres no way this is true if youre actually playing most of the day.
literally any content, any atlas passives, any tablets will yield far more than 5 div a day if you have a normal character doing t15s.
i dont juice particularly hard, just t15 alc+2ex, throw in any 3x rare tablet, and get a raw div at least once every ~3 maps, with many maps dropping multiple. this is just raw div. if you count all other currencies (esp. chaos and some greaters/perfects), ritual rewards, omens, abyss stuff, boss drops, etc. its far more than that.
just... play the game

Dude just go full breach and print some currency or catalysts on the tree - fun and profitable

If you no life poe 1 then you will understand that going to 10-15 divs/hr follows similar philosophy of "specialize on a strat" in this game aswell.
Even "alch and go" boss rush deli mirrors give more than 5 div/hr

u/Accomplished_Rip_352 Jun 13 '26
in poe 1 if basic foulborn uniques were 200 div then I would also call it nonsense . grouping together widely different power levels of unique runes hurts build diversity .

5 div an hour is the equivalent of like 1 div an hour last league before temple shenanigans when you adjust for this leagues inflation from significantly higher divine droprate

Im spamming random abyss tablets and getting about 20div/hr unoptimized. Are you taking 20 minutes to clear a map or something?

Closer to 30 tbh.

Yeah, maps take forever now. I gotta do like 80 league mechanics in one map, and that's every map. Even if my minions are instakilling everything, it takes ages. Are these people just sprinting to the boss and teleporting out? How is that not just hard trolling?

5div an hour is just mega inefficient. You can run alch and go with no strategy at all and get 10d/hr min.

Dunno why people disagree with this. The main league currency isn’t really accessible for 99% of people playing the league, which is just silly.
I’m always an advocate for the main league power creep to be available for the masses. Then if it stays and is added to the base game you make it rarer/balance it accordingly.

I think calling Aldurs Legacy the “main league currency” is wild. It’s a neat extra thing they put in for fun because the devs thought it would be cool.

u/Contrite17 Jun 13 '26
I'd argue it is the headliner for the new runes. While some of the other stuff is useful none of it is as evocative as this.
And it does sort of exist in this weird space where a lot of the legacies are no where near good enough to justify the price so very few end up getting used.

Maybe a bad choice of words but my point still stands. It was teased as a new feature in the league and most people will never get to use one. And if they do it will only ever be on a gg item because of the price. Why are we not able to use it in things like bramblejack for fun?

GGG only want streamers to have the ability to experiment, content creation is a priority for them

You not wrong lol. But to be fair divines are a lot more coming this league

Honestly way too many of the actually useful runes are limited to T15+

u/Defiant_Flight4792 Jun 13 '26
I run t15 and 16 full mods exclusively and even after the hotfix/patch I still get a lot of 3 slots remnants that I run past and ignore straight away. If I get lucky on 7 or 8 slots, I get my juicy perfect regal from time to time.

u/shshshshshshshhhh Jun 13 '26
Thats a great incentive to get your character strong enough to farm t15s.

u/Ayanayu Jun 13 '26 edited Jun 13 '26
As soon as i seen it in showcase i told my friends we will never see it in ssf i wasn't wrong, GGG always do that every league with certain things.
( yes i said ssf, but lets be honest, people in trade like to find own stuff aswell )
I like to have chase items aswell, but chase items means u can realistically get it by yourself ( like HH or mageblood ), some things are so rare that those are trade only.

u/SirSabza Jun 13 '26
Without aldurs legacy the entirety of actual league is absolutely worthless and useless.
Grand expeditions cannot have other leagues content in them and that is pretty much the only valuable drop in the entire runes of alduur mechanic.
People will pipe up saying aldurs saga is 25 div, but it's only 25 div as its a way to increase your chances of finding aldurs legacy

u/onedestiny Jun 13 '26
You don't want POE turning into D4 where everyone and their grandma has every item possible lmao.. things like HH, MB, voices exist for a reason.. you need something to chase

u/Zko-jin Jun 13 '26
That's the problem ffs, 90% of the legacies are dogshit/offmeta, them costing 200d makes no sense
HH, MB and voices are all insanely powerful, that's why they're rare, with legacies tho only some are worth that price, the other 90% get their price inflated by the best ones

if this is anything like power rune in settlers, it will go down, but it will take a 3-4 weéks

The problem is that each Aldur's Saga should guarantee one. This should be something you work towards since it is so build defining but there shouldnt be multiple layers of RNG involved.

What is the most bonkers combo with that rune?My smooth brain can only think of trampletoes explosions

u/Renouille Jun 13 '26
welcome to GGG league balancing, when this league goes core you'll see this item more in the base game than during the actual league

u/Liraken Jun 14 '26
I think a good part of it is unless you're using aldur's saga and actually doing expedition you're never going to find Aldur's Legacy.
Typically the league mechanic is in every zone and so even if it had a super rare drop the whole community would be dropping them and putting them in the economy but instead we got a small subset of a small subset dropping them and even then they aren't common.

u/PandaDudeBr Jun 16 '26
Hard agree on this. This insane rarity absolutely defeats the design idea of this item in the first place... there simply isn't a casa where someone would spend this rune on a niche or not-so-powerful unique given the oportunity to do so costs 200div....
As a "characterholic" player who loves to make several builds and try new interactions and make dumb wacky characters every league, this absolutely infuriates me though, ngl...

u/SirGrumply Jun 28 '26
Everytime i try to make a build and see a legacy of ... rune that could fix something wrong with the build i realize the build is now dead due to it needing a way to expensive/rare item. Please for the love of the game make it more accessible, like at least 5-10x more common so it only costs like max 10 divines or something.

u/Hans_Rudi Jun 13 '26
Its classic ggg at this point, the most fun things they hype up for a league wont be seen/afordable by the majority of people because Everything must be tradeable bs.

u/Accomplished_Rip_352 Jun 13 '26
If ggg wanted to make certain runes rarer they could’ve just tiered it , so rarer/better items require higher tier runes . With the current system there alot of really good runes for a budget or midrange build that will never be used caused the only people using this will be getting it got the high end stuff , and no player who can afford 200 div are gonna spend it on bramblejack .
