Okay, I understand RNG, and that the game doesn’t care, but at a certain point, it has to…
150+ Greater Rifts and not ONE singular Petrified Scream puts me at a minimum 0.5% of the total playerbase for this to ever occur. My account has to be bugged at this point… How can you progress SSF at a reasonable pace without Attunement Gems? You want me to level a new gem to 125 every time? I know this was the way back in the day but the game has evolved… This is truly sick. I’m paragon 1000 without a single drop. Fix this.
Your Necromancer has an an Aquila Cuirass and a Scythe of the Cycle both augmented with Caldesann’s Despair Rank 125.
How many Seals have you unlocked on the Altar of Rites?

Yes, I grouped with friends to get those two caldesann’s, I’m bricked at the altar on the scream. I’ve found enough primals to finish all the potions, but not One scream to progress altar.
Tbh, Get rid of it, and get rid of the challenge cache component. Atleast this season i’m holding onto my challenge cache, but i’ve never been this bricked on a scream in any season ever played. Something is wrong. OR just guarantee and petrified scream after 10-20 grifts idk, similar to a guaranteed primal at your first Grift 70.

Sorry to hear that. I hope your luck changes by tomorrow. We’re only a week into the Season.
My problem, every Season, is getting enough Primal items.
I’ll trade you some Petrified Screams for some Primordial Ashes.

Thanks man, Yeah it’s okay… I’m definitely not new to buckling down and grinding hard. So I know that I’ll eventually? get it, I was just hoping to be getting ahead and pushing a bit harder this season for some solid leaderboard pushes.
I’ll happily trade you lol.

All I can add: Good luck!
Chance that a GR guardian drops a Scream = 5% = 0.05
Chance that a GR guardian doesn’t drop a Scream = 95% = 0.95
Chance that none of X GR guardians drop a Scream = (0.95)^X
Chance that none of 150 GR guardians drop a Scream = (0.95)^150 = 0.0004555549744836
That’s roughly a 1 in 2,195 chance.
Or you could just be really, really unlucky.
With the odds above, if 100,000 players did 150 GRs, 45 of them would get this result.

Similar here – might be something unique about needing the scream and not having one in the stash (to make the 125 whisper). Have had dozens of screams, but now that the altar demands one, none have dropped.
