84 clusters are a nightmare now [SSF]
|
I understand the game is "not balanced around SSF" but that shouldn't mean "no consideration given whatsoever." With the changes of t17s no longer being available, meaning there is no way to get an area level of 84, Tujen no longer offers 84+ clusters, and ritual can no longer produce 84+ clusters, getting your late game clusters in SSF is absolutely horrid.
Your two options are getting them as a rare drop in a deli map or running simulacrums. I am day 6 into running nothing but 4-6 simus every day (full clear, 6+ rewards every wave) and I've yet to hit the cluster I need, doing 5:1 on each and every large that isn't the one I need. I've even been burning all my refracting fogs just to try and hit my cluster. This is absolutely horrendous. I have no alternatives than to bang my head against the wall. This is a jarring difference to what used to be 1 single t17 map+scarabs produces 10+ 84 clusters. Can we please get something? Like triple/quadruple the clusters received from simus or have uber simus where all waves are lvl 85 rewards? Last bumped on Apr 6, 2026, 10:01:38 PM

Yeah, it's really pain now to farm clusters compared to other items nowadays, even not ideal ones like ilvl 84 10-11 passives take a lot of time.
I didn't played minions this league which needs couple of ilvl 84 12 passives, only attribute stacker, which have few options, like attack damage, elemental and other, unlike minions which have only one option, and that's already takes a lots of time even using new mirage thing with enchant swap and I can't imagine how long it takes for minions to farm even one cluster. I hope they revert change with nightmare maps next league or give something to compensate at least, Simulacrums and Atlas node for 2% drop chance from uniques is cringe. |

i had two ilvl 84 12 passive ele today from running simulacrum. If any ilvl 84 12 passives drops wouldn't it be possible to then farm the new orb from deli mirage and use that to get minions or does it corrupt that thing or sth and you can't roll afterwards? Because these fogs seem to be common every 5th map at least.
Oh you mentioend that already nvm Last edited by Strickl3r#3809 on Apr 5, 2026, 9:45:57 PM

i mean sure, but you are acting like this is game breaking. ilvl84 is just now more chase in SSF. You still have plenty of ilvl83 that you can use...

Simplest fix:
GGG could add a crafting option to the Horticulture Harvest Crafting Bench, to change Cluster Jewel bases. --- https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/List_of_harvest_crafting_options Existing Similar Crafting Options: - Fossil, Oils, Catalysts, Essences, Timeless Splinters, Deli Orbs, Div Card, |

" those are all consumables, with the exception of div cards, which has such a huge pool and is definitely weighted. changing cluster jewels would be more akin to changing uniques. a better suggestion would be to add a div card that turns in for an ilvl84 cluster jewel base “Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.”
