The current state of Greater and Perfect Jeweller's Orb drop rate

I wish Greater and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs were more common.

As of today GJO are 21 ex each and PJO are 115 ex each on the in-game currency auction house.

I am okay them being more rare than basic currency. That being said:

  • I would love to be able to explore different gems in EA and the cost of Jeweller's Orbs is hindering that.
  • Because we are in EA I expect and hope to see a lot of changes to gems. Being able to 6 link more actively would be great if a nerf/buff happens.
  • More people having access to 6 links is only net-positive for EA and testing.

Some background info:

I have spent over 60+ hours in maps and good portion of it I have had 92% magic find on my gear after the loot buff. I run T14+ maps only, always running them at least rare and corrupted. My T15+ maps I run with +2 area level with boss if possible.

So far I have seen:

Greater Jeweller's Orb: 1

Perfect Jeweller's Orb: 0
