Practical notes
Exalted Orbs drop from maps and strongboxes, so run maps with quantity and open every strongbox you can clear safely. Use a filter that highlights exalts and valuable currency.
Prefer pack-size modifiers over boss-only ones for steady drops. Sell valuable gear for exalts when RNG is slow. A fast, repeatable map run with good quantity outperforms waiting for a rare drop.
Open every strongbox you can clear safely, and prefer pack-size modifiers over rare-only ones for steady exalt returns.
Open every strongbox you can clear safely and prefer pack-size modifiers over rare-only ones, because steady exalt returns beat waiting for a single box.
