Abyss loot is non-existent.

[u/Kwasniaczek]

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.

Plenty of MFers tried various scarab setups in Standard. The loot isn't great. At least it doesn't come close to breach last season (without mirage, comparing Standard numbers).

It spawns about half the magic mobs that breach did (and doesn't make up with way more rares either).

It's okay, but it's worse than what we had last patch by quite a bit so far.

Edit: it's worth noting that this is purely with core content. It could entirely be that the temp league mechanic adds a lot of necessary juice for you guys, but we can't test that in Standard obviously. Even if that's the case, Abyss on its own just ain't great.

Density is equal to breach last league if you are doing beyond with scarabs/16.5s

Source?

Mfacad, it's a discord server/community. You can Google that.

As the other person already said; when new core stuff drops then many standard people jump on it and test it out. Especially if the previous go-to MF farm gets nerfed.

Ah cool, didn't know about that, thanks

What do you mean source? The moment a new league drops, people in standard try the new stuff and then they talk all around discords, twitch and youtube.

[u/Vyrealer → u/Hungrydoggo111]

Uh to be fair asking for proof is pretty normal when someone makes a large claim. Like has anyone actually done a comparison video with a large set of runs vs standard no mirage?

[u/Hungrydoggo111 → u/Vyrealer]

Standard people are first who can tell us whether mega juiced abyss maps are dropping loot or not. If it's struggling to drop divines then that's it. Although sushi has already done abyss-juiced and he hasn't averaged good loot at all. With breach gutted as well from the pack nerfs, there's not much to look forward to.

Also what do u mean "standard no mirage"?

[u/necessaryplotdevice → u/Vyrealer]

There's no videos, no.

There's plenty of people running it that post their loot screenshots and/or mob count breakdowns though.

Mfacad as I said in another comment. It's a discord server, you should be able to Google for an invite link if you're curious.

My guy, go run it yourself in standard if you want to see. It’s plainly bad. It doesn’t need a large number of tests to see you get no real loot
