When GGG decides to give you a Fishing Rod before an Exalt

That's not true. On the current league the Jeweller orbs i got from both vendoring 6 link and random drop are only about 2,000, which worth less than 1.5 exalt right now while i already got 9 random drop exalt.

And excluding the exalt drop, the combined value of random drop i have got including expensive divination, unique, oil, maps, etc only amounted to ~12-15 exalt. So the combined wealth of everything else just barely exceeding the worth of exalt drop alone. It's always like this on every league i ever played on.

Exalt drop is a significant chunk of wealth you can get from random drop.
