Endgame Gearing

So after slamming over 16 uniques with an exalted item, and none of them did pick the exalted mod, clearly appear the game design.
How is supposed ppl to gear this way? Is there a better way to do it or is just this insane wall of rng?
Even in poe without gear targeting you can still gearing, but here you just can’t, you target farm the unique, you target farm the exalted mods, and rng just say no you can’t do it?

Unrelated but how do you target farm exalted mods? And uniques, besides just repeating the same boss over and over?

If the unique is a boss-drop, then all you can do besides farm the boss over and over is joining MG and buying that unique with LP to slam.

To target farm exalted mods you just need to find the exalted nodes in the monolith web. And likewise, you can buy them with MG.

I know CoF also has ways to target farm your exalts, but I don’t know if they have ways to improve the boss-only drops.

That is just not true. I mean, people often compare LE to PoE but conveniently don’t compare what’s really equivalent in each other.
Achieving what you want in PoE (top end-game bis equips, which would be equivalent to a legendary with best exalted mods on it) will cost dozens if not thousands of divines for either crafting or straight up buying them.
If that is made easier, the economy will just be trash.

This is a fair point. Legendaries are basically equivalent to double corrupt uniques in PoE and those are hard to make and expensive to get.

This isn’t true, i’m just starting on it, double corrupt can be trash really easy to obtain or the 2 rarest mods.
Here is different, i’m not try to get a legendary power 4, i’m just using very basics legendary power 1, and crashing my face against a very hard rng wall and completely losing time with no results.
I can’t see the point, if is this hard getting the easiest legendary, i imagine what horrible quality of life can be wasting thousand oh hours to get a legendary power 3 to watch the game chosing the 3 non exalted mods.

Is there a waiting on exalted mods, is it possible to know it?

It’s easier to craft a legendary with LP3 than LP1. With LP3 you’re guaranteed to get 3 of the affixes, so it’s only a matter of RNG which one you WON’T get. LP1 is a matter of RNG to which affix you WILL get.
The hardest part of LP is getting a high LP unique. Once you do, legendary slamming is much easier.

I don’t mean to be rude, but seems like you don’t know about how probability works.
It would be WAY easier to get the exalted mod in a 3 LP unique than in a 1 LP, because, probability, hence, why 3 and 4 LP are extremely more rare than 1 LP ones.

Buddy you slammed over 16 uniques. If you take that and try to apply it on the amount of currency used in PoE to make a BiS/Insane item you should be at like 200 uniques slammed. Really dont understand how you compare these 2 thinking it is not the same. Or you think the items people make and sell for mirrors in PoE they just use 2 alteration orbs 1 regal and 2 exalt for them? If that is the case I guess you are right

Well i didn’t talk about probabilities at all, it’s obviously easier getting ONE mod on a legendary 3, but even if i’m new, is clear that on a legendary 3 you want THREE mods you did chose, thats way harder than getting 1 on a legendary 1…

EDIT: and i mean, “if” exalted mods have waitings

Because if u want to compare to poe, there if you know how to farm you dont need to slam anything, you get tons of currency from high cost farming strategies, maybe i forgot to say i’m playing sf here, so i can’t buy. Cause honestly ssf in poe ios trash, i thought here was better

Are you using CoF prophecies, then? You should get loads of exalts, at least. I haven’t tried CoF, so I don’t know how the targetting works for uniques, but it should also have a better drop rate.

Yeah cof is working as intended, my drop improved a lot, and i’m quite happy with the time you need to get gear, not so fast but not even impossible. The problem is just when you slam, you basically never get the exalted mod chosen, if is 1 on 4, its nice, are not that good as legendaries, you will change them as fast as you can, but if is so hard, better stop to try and wait for a lucky drop unique lp2+

Yeah, LP slamming is mostly: LP1 means you just want to slam something in there that might help, so you usually pick an exalt that has 4 kinda useful affixes and no matter which gets slammed it’s fine because you just want to improve it a bit.
If you’re hunting for BiS, though, you need higher LP.

Yeah i imagined but is a little bit sad, this way im forced on merchant season, cause here i only want dps to farm faster, and i can’t see a way to get it if not waiting for a good drop.
As an experienced farmer i only think about speed and dps, and moslty how to improve it.
With all this i’m not saying the game is bad, i had fun playing and i still want to try more stuff, but in this particular sf cof, improving a basic legendary 1 slamming isn’t preventing me to keep gearing for more power, on the opposite it gives me more will to go to the next level, instead of skipping it completely.
