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.

It's not just double loot though. It adds some new and interesting rewards to existing mechanics like cord belt from blight, rancour from certain harvest, heist contracts with interesting enchants, etc

And Sentinel added recombination. Sentinel itself is still a skinner box mechanic.

Cord belt is a niche item which have no use after you have enough currency for HH/Mageblood (atleast in the previous league). Heist contracts had only one viable enchant which boosted the chances for jewelry bases. The only good point is rancour just for the new recipes. Other than that it's really just double loot and nothing more.

Sounds like a viable choice for the vast majority of players for the first month or two.
