Maps have map mods to increase quantity and mob density thus it will drop more often there. Grinding blood aqueducts can take a while :)Usually if you endter blood aqueducts at like level 62 you will be level 73-75 before finding your 9th card (depending on your luck). It is especially rough in this league since there is no league mods that increase mob density and incursions rarely drop div cards.
The advantage of regular areas (A1-10) are the no-cost factor (no map sustain needed) and the additional chance for (now more valuable) vaal zones.invited by timer @ 10.12.2011
The bonus chance in this league is that while running blood aqueduct is that each instance gives you one quick incursion which also adds loot, including area-based cards. The bad side on the A9 aqueduct is that most cards youll find are the much more frequent carrion crow…
I dunno how the equation looks for other items/div cards, though. I must confess I dont really farm deterministacally; I just take whatever div card drop I get, and if I eventually get something out of it, Im happy. Its encouraging to know that – for example if I find myself one card short of an item Id love to have – it might actually be worth the trouble going for that last card.
Its the other way round for me – I tried to farm it, but stopped after 5 cards due to beginning brain damage.
more tabulas from cards (over time) as I got dropped. (could be around 20 pieces over all now)
Is the droprate higher on the Blood Aqueduct or same in both Aqueducts areas? Dont have the maps and wanted a tabula for leveling a new char, but not even 1 card in like 70 runs and i need 9 so i probably level without it :/
The dropchance for cards (counting like currency) decreases while you outlevel the regular areas, and actually it seems to be rapidly (or combined with many situations of bad luck).
While you need just one lucky moment for the body (which literally can drop everywhere), you need not only luck for nine times/cards, but you also have to farm it in one specific area (or area type, if you also consider the aqueduct based maps)…
In both leagues, I had a Tabula Rasa drop long before I had farmed the Div cards.

Well, of course your experience combined with mine is too tiny a sample to hold much relevance, but it would in fact inidicate that at least this particular divination card works as intended: If you farm it in a targeted manner or run areas where it can drop many times, you can accelerate your luck.
No i cant buy, im trying to play ssf :PLast bumped on Jul 28, 2018 6:53:47 AM
All 5 cards where from Incursions – one times 2 dropped from one.
lol okay, i thought the droprate would be higher since im only farming a tabula and not headhunter but i guess i was wrong. i found enough chaos orbs to buy the freaking item but not even one card. i guess i level without one.
