[vagrant tinsel]

well i can agree on that diablo doesn't hold a candle to this

[acoustic cove]

i run a grenade build

became expert with explosions

[acoustic cove]

(Diablo 4 don't hold a candle to any game in the series in fact, i played more hours of wolcen and had a better time on it then d4, thats how bad it is.)

[vagrant tinsel]

diablo is like cartoons and poe is like anime :)

[acoustic cove]

[winter patio]

How to double corrupt items in Poe 2 and what Omen of Corruption doing exactly?

[kind compass]

nah, i did it once, but my portal expired when i went back to town so i gotta do it again. ty though. just wanted to complain

[lapis veldt]

The merchants who sell random weapons, is it actually random? i've gotten the chaos bow 3 times in a row and i just need new leveled physical bow for act 3

[mystic cobalt]

@kind compass i got stuck outside of the fight but my minions killed her 5 mins later

[unreal rivet]

bruh nobody wanna play with diddy

[fathom badger]

@haughty niche I’m down to play

[mystic cobalt]

Diddy got that baby oil

[haughty niche]

thats not what i meant. I posted a link to the Looking for group channel because someone was asking.

[plain abyss]

anybody have a list to see what essences add what stats to stuff?

[acoustic cove]

yw, just remember, nothing wrong in asking for help, its what multiplayer is there for

[forest bramble]

What stats should I look out for or are "must haves" on my Bow and Quiver as a Lightning Ranger (Deadeye)?

[elfin pendant]

which venom draught are you supposed to take?

[frank frigate]

im on the poe2 trading website but theres no filter i can see for spirit gems, are you able to trade them? ive been farming for a level 8 spirit gem forever and havent had one drop yet 😭

[inland sentinel]

You are searching uncut spirit gem?

Then set gem level min on miscellaneous filters

[shut abyss]

i got 6 and 11, would that work?

[frank frigate]

would i be able to use a level 11 one at level 33?

[shut abyss]

looks like it's requires lvl 41

[frank frigate]

ah thats all good then but thanks :)

[ivory fable]

whats the point of this if i dont get ascendancy points?

[craggy gyro]

Anyone knows why when i'm using the count function, it isn't showing any gloves (despite, when unselecting the count function, i can see gloves with attack speed, for example)

[shut abyss]

looot and exp i guess

[trim stream]

any idea about the poe2 crushing when enter map

[past furnace]

anyone have a good gemling legionaire build pls drop it into my dms 🙏

[ivory fable]

if i lose the trial does my character die?

[flint plume]

Check if there are two different attack speed mods. There are some weird cases like that.

[wooden quail]

is it normal i find the early game very boring? im at level 20 (?) i think

[shut abyss]

well yes

[tough grove]

Whats the next move if I am struiggling on a boss? I am the same level and it takes 5 mins to get to the second half oof the fight

[flint plume]

If you lose all your life in the trial your character dies. If you lose due to running out of honor you don't.

[shut abyss]

doesn't it kill you anyway?

[flint plume]

No

At least I don't think so

[shut abyss]

ohh, never really paid attention it since it doesn't really matter but

[flint plume]

Matters a lot on hardcore

[shut abyss]

then you better not fail!

[tough grove]

Is there a best way to farm exp in the early game? Maybe I go back a map or 2 and farm the mobs?

I am stuck on a boss

[shut abyss]

if you're spending too much time dodging up your resistances, pref to what the boss uses, if not new weapon is usually the fastest way to get more dmg

[pulsar dune]

So, quality doesn't seem to do anything on those bows that only have chaos damage as the main damage, what happens if I add the 20% increased phys damage on it, I am assuming nothing since it has no physical damage there but I wanted to check

[meager hawk]

What boss you on? Maybe we can team up?

[neat musk]

welp.. I instant kill everything in t18 now.. gg ez I guess

[tough grove]

Jamanra the abomination

[neat musk]

no lol

I’m on my phone

not on my pc

But can confirm they aren’t down or this server and all channels would be getting spammed

[tough grove]

Is 65% lighhtning resist enough?

[marble herald]

if I have a ring that reads "% increased lightning damage" does it do nothing unless it already has lightning damage on it? or does it apply to my overall lightning damage?

[shut abyss]

yup

[neat musk]

ah yeah, can confirm

[livid cypress]

whats current price for trial carry?

[tough grove]

How ab this bow? I am lvl 32

[craggy gyro]

any way to fix bugged minibosses even after reseting the map?

[neat musk]

are u a witch or sorc

so merc or ranger

[shut abyss]

looks okay let me check the whats on trade

[neat musk]

Then they explains it

that**

[neat musk]

So many effects you’re insanely op. No lol

Oh

[shut abyss]

max you can get in trade for 32 level is max 80 physical damage so there is little bit of room to improve

[neat musk]

Crashes are normal every now and then

I know someone who’s a witch with a demon form doing 3125% bonus damage. They crash every 5 seconds and all party members and people in the instance

Impossible to play as they do over 300million dmg

[shut abyss]

do you need anything special on the bow? i can get you a new one and we'll see if it helps

[neat musk]

Yeah people are fucking useless here don’t worry about it

This is just a discord fanpage for poe2 anyways

[teal nymph]

how do people get to 400+ spirit?

[storm basin]

is the DPS in the skills screen a reliable metric for builds

[tough grove]

Physical dmg precentage and level to proojectile skills mainly.

[zealous osprey]

Approximately
100 from campaign (100)
50 from armour (150)
50 from amulet (200)
150 from sceptre (350)
30 from corrupt helm (380)

[zealous osprey]

Figure some little stuff out here and there, and you're 400+

[rugged swallow]

Please help! I have not been able to find an answer anywhere. I wanna use my ps5 account on PC but I already bought stash tabs on ps5. I saw that mtx were platform bound somewhere. Will I keep these on PC??? I dont wanna have to spend another $30 to find out.

[zealous osprey]

Nope

[quiet elm]

if i want gambling or looking thru the vendors, what stat should i look for in armors and weapons? i am playing a sorc

[left flare]

Any way to get a random 3-5 spirit?

[neat musk]

Yeah you can fit 60+ in armour

[zealous osprey]

PSN is shite, PS MTX is separate from the rest

[rugged swallow]

Disgusting 🤢

[neat musk]

Yes

[craggy gyro]

do i get the mini boss bonus again when doing chaos?

[neat musk]

Your account is in the same database

So ur good @rugged swallow

[zealous osprey]

@neat musk as far as I know

[neat musk]

Yeah nah

tested it

[zealous osprey]

He already has a PS account

[zealous osprey]

Ah, it carries over or not?

[neat musk]

It does

[rugged swallow]

Oh nice!

[zealous osprey]

My bad then @rugged swallow

[rugged swallow]

All good 👍

[autumn comet]

anyone knows how i can make my skelett archer fire a gas arrow?

[neat musk]

all of it will carry no matter what. GGG needs to fix their shit too, having same DB as website host 💀🙏🏻😭

[shut abyss]

whats your ign

[rugged swallow]

Been researching and I’m getting mixed responses. But I will definitely be switching to my PC cause console is GARBAGIOO

[tough grove]

Purscii

[spare quest]

yo why wont herald of ashe work

[neat musk]

one person gets into the db it’s GG/G

[spare quest]

i have the spirit and i have right clicked to activate it

[neat musk]

It’s trash

[rugged swallow]

Lmao 😂

[spare quest]

but the buff icon nvr shows up

[neat musk]

fr? That bad?

[halcyon gust]

i know you cannot remove a rune from a socket, but can you override it with a new rune?

[neat musk]

nah you need spirit

[spare quest]

i have 100+ spirit boss

i have right clicked it

[zealous osprey]

Other than people loving the UI, I haven't heard other nice things about it

[spare quest]

its shows as running on the skill menu but no buff icon

[rugged swallow]

I bought a ps5 pro and holy… I can’t imagine how it must be for the regular ps5

[zealous osprey]

Are buffs in UI enabled from settings for you? Just recheck once

[spare quest]

yes i can see my other buff icon

only herald of ash doesnt show up

oh wells...

[spare solstice]

Noob question

How does jeweller orb work

[inland sentinel]

Adds 1 extra jewel slot

[spare solstice]

Is it locked to the gem itself

[inland sentinel]

Yes that one gem

[spare solstice]

F

That's bad no then

[inland sentinel]

You will get more later on

[spare solstice]

Oo

[strong mesa]

How to fix it, please tell me

[spare solstice]

I got one from act 3 create

[inland sentinel]

As you keep mapping and farming endgame they will drop more and you can also trade for them

[spare solstice]

Ah i see

[inland sentinel]

Acts don’t drop very much loot

[spare solstice]

Also is there an auction house or something

[spare solstice]

True dat

[inland sentinel]

Only for currency

Not for items

[spare solstice]

Oh

[inland sentinel]

It’s a player to player economy

[spare solstice]

Same as Poe 1

I guess

[inland sentinel]

Yup

[spare solstice]

When does it unlock

[inland sentinel]

Cruel act 1

[spare solstice]

Oo

[inland sentinel]

So act 4 essentially

[spare solstice]

Got it

Thanks for all the help

Really appreciate it

[hybrid moon]

im stuck on the mad wolf of ogham i cant kill that stupid boss

[inland sentinel]

What’s your issue? Damage or dodging?

Damage could be solved if you had a solid build

Dodge is easy, most moves are telegraphed

[hybrid moon]

both it seems i dont do enough damage with my monk

[inland sentinel]

Ah yeah monk

[craggy gyro]

I non ironically spent the last half hour trying every single different attack speed node, to discover that one #increased attack speed works, and the other with the same name doesnt xD
Thanks!

[hybrid moon]

well i dont have that much problem doging its reall the damage

[inland sentinel]

I think there’s a way you can deal damage with bell and charge staff

[hasty light]

Bell + ice strike spam worked well for me

[inland sentinel]

Or rather ice strike

[hybrid moon]

ill try it

[forest moth]

how do i get sorcery ward? can't see it even with lvl 14 uncut spirit gem

[near umbra]

it's merc ascendacy

[forest moth]

oh

[near umbra]

witch hunter to be more accurate

[hybrid moon]

yea

[fresh ivy]

@hybrid moon i see you are playing monk, what build are you playing?

[inland sentinel]

You can always just search all gems

[hybrid moon]

im having a hard time with monkl

[inland sentinel]

Makes it easier

[fresh ivy]

youc an make that fight 10x easier if you use ice strike and frost/freeze

[hybrid moon]

idk i picked one online

[fresh ivy]

what is your main damage skill?

[hybrid moon]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/7bc53c6d-f248-41cb-be8d-15ac93f8c380/builds/722748a0-9556-4646-94f3-4d4d6d47412f?utm_campaign=Goblin&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=influencers

[proud marten]

What's the difference between suffix and prefix

[hybrid moon]

its this

[fresh ivy]

yeah, thats not what you want, let me get you a build

[pearl mural]

any1 know a fix? its bugged

he dosent wanna talk

[ivory fable]

how to know if you missed one of those buffs you get by killing act bosses?

[inland sentinel]

Affixes are explicit modifiers that can appear on items. Different rarities of items have different requirements and types of modifiers that can appear on the items

[fresh ivy]

@hybrid moon https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/8l3l90z1

[inland sentinel]

You can search item affixes via poe2db.tw

[fresh ivy]

ytk - i DMed you a video guide

[steep pasture]

how can i use this or charge this i cant use it

charged staff

[rugged tangle]

you need power charges to use it

[inland sentinel]

You have to lead with hits

4 or 5 hits to generate power charges

You can use bell

Yeah just saying there was a combo, forgot the exact combo

[terse shard]

i completed a map but there's 0 monsters and no indicators. the Map is not showing Map Complete. any idea ?

[steep pasture]

look at my bell stacks im hitting but i cant use it

[rugged tangle]

ya the bell requires combo points but hes referring to the charged staff which requires power charges, not combo points

[steep pasture]

what is this

[inland sentinel]

Check monsters remaining

[hardy sun]

Hitting the bell generates charges, 4 hits to use the bell

[rugged tangle]

you should be able to use the bell at 4 combo points, if its not working maybe change keybind and see if that helps

[inland sentinel]

Hm weird

[steep pasture]

guys im not asking for bell im asking for charged staff

[fallen ibex]

how common is chaos dmg in the campaign ?

[inland sentinel]

From monsters? The vipers do poison

[fallen ibex]

yeah

[rugged tangle]

thats what I thought, people were getting me confused lol

[inland sentinel]

Outside of that not too common

[fresh ivy]

@steep pasture the activvation is a bit funny if you are spamming your attacks, yuo need to hold the bell button until it activbates then go back to attacking

[fallen ibex]

if its not an issue i dont want to bother with finding chaos res meanwhile

[rugged tangle]

do you have anything that generates power charges? only certain skills do

[hardy sun]

Charged staff consumes power charges

[inland sentinel]

Chaos damage is rare but when there are monsters that deal dot it can be very off-putting

[fallen ibex]

ikkk

[inland sentinel]

You want to prioritize elemental mitigation first then chaos

But chaos is still pretty important

[pastel mulch]

Hey dudes, do Bows count as 2handed weapons?

[steep pasture]

like which skills?

[fresh ivy]

The early power charge generation on monk is pretty poor.. the two ways to get them are the bottom node of the quarterstaff passive area, and using combat frenzy and the Resonance passive

[inland sentinel]

Yes

[fallen ibex]

yeah as long as i got elemental done first il focus on chaos

[pastel mulch]

Cant inspect the Two handed weapons link here to verify if this would affect bows

[hasty light]

Killing palm iirc for power charges

[rugged tangle]

siphoning strike can for sure, read through descriptions it will tell you if they do

[steep pasture]

alr tysm

[fresh ivy]

@steep pasture just get a few more levels then get ice strike and switch to cold spells

[pastel mulch]

So as long as it says two handed weapon it works, but only in cases where it specifies melee or ranged weapons can there be exclusions?

[hardy sun]

You probably need resonance if you're not generating power charges, assuming you're getting frenzy charges

[flat crystal]

Does monks have other alternatives aside from killing palm for power charge

[inland sentinel]

I mean you should be able to use that

[fresh ivy]

yes, resonance and combat frenzy

[inland sentinel]

Unless it says like melee specifically

[rugged tangle]

siphoning strike

[fresh ivy]

@flat crystal resonance is a passive tree node, and you use the combat frenzy gem.... and also the bottom node in the quarterstaff passive area gives you a guaranteed 1 charge

[flat crystal]

Time to look at it

Does monks need maximum life in their equipment?

[inland sentinel]

You almost usually want life anywhere

[hasty light]

Yeah max life is nice

Evasion + ES is what I’m looking for in armor pieces

[rugged tangle]

it depends on your build but ya max life is good

[inland sentinel]

Yeah but early on you don’t have very good pieces that have eva and es

Better to go for flat life and a lot of it

If you go invoker there is one node that converts your Eva and es to spirit

Effectively you will just be tankier naturally

[sturdy inlet]

What do these icons mean?

[flat crystal]

Resistance

[rugged tangle]

Its what the monster is resistant too damage wise

[flat crystal]

Red means weak to lightning dmg. Grey is normal res gold means alot.

[sturdy inlet]

What does red, yellow and grey signify?

ohhh

[inland sentinel]

Hope you have an element that’s strong against it

But it shouldn’t be too big of a deal if you scale your damage properly

[clever geode]

what's the best way for merc to gain mana back

as a nader

[inland sentinel]

Mana on kill is a good stat

[clever geode]

bossing wise?

[rugged tangle]

mana on kill or mana regen on gear/passives

[inland sentinel]

Yeah mana regen

Sometimes there’s mana gained when you hit an enemy

[simple token]

is there no map tab yet? or am I just blind?

[rugged tangle]

really any class that uses tons of mana should stack regen if possible

[inland sentinel]

Nope no way stone tab

Sadge

[simple token]

dang

[clever geode]

but that's only for physical dmg right

[inland sentinel]

Ye

[simple token]

weird they wouldn't just carry one over from poe1

[inland sentinel]

Cause we don’t exactly have maps

[clever geode]

they havent make it in poe2

[inland sentinel]

Not a 1:1 conversion

Like currency and delirium

[simple token]

no but close enough

[clever geode]

maybe they will make it the waystone

but not yet we will see

when they do i hope there is a sales

[rugged tangle]

I would assume they will have a tab for it soon, its a highly requested feature atm

[inland sentinel]

Ah well I just use my extra stash tabs from 10 years of playing PoE 1

[rugged tangle]

ya im just using 1 of my premium tabs for it for now, just be quicker if it had its own tab again

I have plenty of tabs though lol

[steep pasture]

what is evasion do?

[rugged tangle]

raises dodge chance so you can dodge attacks

[steep pasture]

is it auto?

[rugged tangle]

yes

[steep pasture]

im trying to build monk should i go evasion set or armour set

[manic locust]

Anyone know why im not able to equip charged staff on my skills bar. I have the stats for it and its in my skill panel but it wont let me put it on my bar

[rugged tangle]

most people go evasion/es but its up to you, I'm sure you could do armour if you really wanted to

[steep pasture]

alr tysm

[timber patio]

Is the add new friend option bugged? I cant add my friend to coop. Unable to find player everytime the game says?

[rugged tangle]

never had a problem, make sure spelling and caps are correct.... if it still doesnt work then maybe bugged but I havent had it happen

[timber patio]

Okay, hes on ps5 and i am pc? Whe type the names correct but still says unable to find so i quessing its a bug

[rugged tangle]

im not sure that console is same servers as pc, at least in the first game im fairly sure pc had diff servers than console which is why console trade was always more expensive lol

[timber patio]

Whe also checked on that and he’s on the same server as i do. Its crossplay so it should work

[rugged tangle]

hmmm ya this one is it seems, you trying his ingame character name? I know console has usernames with numbers too that people say dont really work

[safe lance]

Use the character name not GGG or PSN/xbox id

[hardy sun]

I've had a weird occurrence with a different skill do that, I had it equipped before so I know it worked. Took a few other random clicks but it went back on

[stark lynx]

Hold alt while on character panel it tells you what it does, previous answer was wrong, thats how it works in poe1

[rustic acorn]

What does "grant XX increased elemental ailment threshold" mean?

[stone charm]

hi. i need help with campaing with ascendency. this is second challenge area level 38, trials 4. anyone?

[manic locust]

I fixed it. somewhere I had a stat drop lmao which I dont remember doing

[vocal cave]

Dumb question, but can enemies technically "evade" grenades?
like i know there's accuracy rating, evasion etc that factors when i use the crossbow
are grenades affected by this

[fresh ivy]

thats a good question.. my gut says no, becausae the dmg of a grenade does not come from an attack or projectile, but the explosion

[stark lynx]

You need to take more of associated dmg type to be inflicted by corresponding ailment ie freeze

[fresh ivy]

@rustic acorn every mob in the game has this threshold, let's say it's 25% of their health.. that would mean they would need to take 25% of their health in effective freeze to be frozen

it's designed this way, because bosses have a much lower threshold of their health to freeze, otherwise you would never freeze them

[rustic acorn]

Oh I thought it meant I get x% chance to avoid being frozen, shocked and so on.

[vocal cave]

yea i was thinking this too, hard to find a concrete answer to this on google lol

but thanks for ur input!

[fresh ivy]

you should be able to just look at the grenade tooltip

you can only evade attacks or projectiles AFAIK.... the grenade tooltip should have a separate explosion tab to show the dmg, which is not an attack or hit (i think)

[light turret]

hey is test of time the final boss (which means after killing him, i get 4th asc skill point? or do i need to travel through 8 rooms like trial 3?

[shut abyss]

@tough grove did the bow help?

[tough grove]

I dmed you!

On discord

[icy mango]

Hahahah. Rooms. Absolutely stupid rooms

[light turret]

so entering test of time will lead me to 8 more rooms?

[icy mango]

Yes

[hybrid star]

the level is based on the coin

[rugged tangle]

pretty sure its bugged, even if you go and kill balbala it doesnt act as though its complete

[autumn comet]

how can i get the skeleton snipers to use gas arrow?

[loud copper]

Is there a way to disable the in game chat?

[past rain]

yeah. /dnd

[loud copper]

nvm. I looked so hard then found it right after asking

[compact matrix]

I did not get the effigy from the shrine of bones

[rugged tangle]

no, that quest doesnt give ascendancy..... the coin gives you access but it depends on what ascendancy your on as to what lvl coin you need

[compact matrix]

Any fix ?

[past rain]

i just got so scared because i removed a chest piece that has the +dex that allows me to wear it. that's so silly that you cant put it back on if the stats it gives lets you wear it

[rugged tangle]

the sekhmas coin ya? not trials?

[manic locust]

Maybe try the envenom support gem or corrosion maybe 1 of those

[fresh ivy]

im level 76, i guess i should do my third ascendancy, have not felt like it 3was neede

[autumn comet]

skill tells me i can command them to do it but i only can command them to move

[rugged tangle]

you need to go through 3 floors for the 3rd ascendancy, its annoying and long

[manic locust]

Ahhh that im unsure of. Havent used minions yet

[gritty walrus]

But it said trial was complete

[rugged tangle]

you did all 3 floors in one run? if so you should have had an ascendancy altar at the end of the 3rd to give your points

[past rain]

am i crazy that if a pieces +stats allows you to wear it, you should be able to wear it

[gritty walrus]

Im gonna run it again unfortunately

[rugged tangle]

hmmm

[coarse prairie]

Is there an XP penalty if you fight enemies 10 levels above you

[gritty walrus]

I did get some nice loot tho so not too bad

[visual ruin]

yes

[rugged tangle]

I just dont like this ascendancy system at all lol..... its too long winded and the trial itself is a mechanic I dislike lol

[visual ruin]

forgot how much, but theres a penalty for level difference

[coarse prairie]

Even if they're higher level than you? Feels odd

[fresh ivy]

i dont like the later tier sekimeas, becuase having to redo the lower tiers every time (while easy) takes too long.. i do the first one as sekhamas, then go chaos

[gritty walrus]

I personally enjoy it, its a fun difficult challenge.

[fresh ivy]

i wish they would make it so when you finished a lower tier it would give you a "multi use" token that would start you at next tier with your ending honor. so you could repeat the next tier

[visual ruin]

to stop powerleveling newbies

[gritty walrus]

They gotta nerf it a lil bit though but other than that its cool

[rugged tangle]

ya I would rather do the chaos over sekmas but for 3rd ascendancy you have to wait til 75+ stone whereas sekmas is 60+ so ya lol

[fresh ivy]

i do like the ascendancy system though, adn sekhemas is a really neat way to make a hard ascendancy tht won't kill Hardcore characters

[scenic salmon]

Chaos trial any good? I heard you had to do it 3 times to complete last ascension

[visual ruin]

its worse than doing sanctum floor 4 once

by far

[gritty walrus]

In my last run I had affliction to not see what rooms I enter and 25% reduced movement. I got several escape rooms it was so stressfull

But at the same time exciting

[rugged tangle]

its just too long for my taste, I dont wanna waste 30+ minutes running through rooms doing various things just to possibly get my points, especially when one wrong move could cost the whole run and have to start over

[gritty walrus]

You also get loot tho

[plucky tide]

Hi 🙂 are skill gems tradeble?

[rugged tangle]

I can get much more loot for the time just doing maps which I actually enjoy doing

[gritty walrus]

Yeah but you do it only a couple times or more if you wish

[coarse prairie]

I see, I was just shield charging my way thru act 1 cruel and it just so happened I'm 10 levels below the geoner fight 😅 need to go back and grind

[grim burrow]

Hi, I have a question
I got unique crossbow on my side character. I want to transfer it to my other character. Even though I stashed it, it does not appear on my other character. How can I transfer it?

[gritty walrus]

To each their own I guess

[visual ruin]

are they in the same league? not one being hardcore/ssf?

[grim burrow]

hardcore

[visual ruin]

stashes should be shared if same league

[visual ruin]

are they both hardcore then

[grim burrow]

yes

[visual ruin]

hmm

[scenic salmon]

[hardy sun]

I think I tried hardcore once in poe1

[rugged tangle]

feel like hardcore in this game would drive me insane, just the number of times fps spikes or lag got me killed would make me rage doing hardcore lol

[wet viper]

anybody else feel like one has to play like a toddler to be able to die as sorc?

even on t15

[light turret]

fk i miss 1 flash by a few pixels and died to time freeze

game sucks

[hasty osprey]

What build u using

[short hill]

I’m a bit confused. Wiki says you get access to trials after a boss in act2. But I did that boss and got nothing. Do I need to go back and kill him again or what do I do😅

[hasty osprey]

U get an item from assassin boss

[short hill]

Got nada. Can I go back and rekill him?

[hasty osprey]

Yes, but it is also a random drop

[fresh ivy]

yes, but it's not the level boss, it's the asssin , optional boss

[hasty osprey]

Item name is djin barya or smt like that

[fresh ivy]

the dude in the room with the hole in the middle

[wet viper]

watching, not using, the OP sorc build uses mind over matter

[short hill]

Yeah. I definitely killed him. Didn’t know the drop was random tho

I guess illl head back

Thanks yall

[fresh ivy]

after you kill him, you have to interrogate the prisoner in the cage

[hasty osprey]

No i mean u can get it randomly from other places

[fresh ivy]

i think

or maybe thats a diff boss

[hasty osprey]

For this boss is guaranteed i think

[short hill]

Maybe I just missed picking it up

Either way. I’ll head back to act2. Thanks !

[hasty osprey]

Boss name is balbala

[steep pasture]

can i trade skins for in game money?

[hasty osprey]

Ah so u not playing or ysing it yet

[tacit knot]

From when exactly do u get level 5 skill gems again

[potent totem]

It's a big green drop, quest drop so it should be guaranteed

[hasty osprey]

Play game, they drop from either quest or mobs

[hardy sun]

You go to a different zone entirely. Use a green item to unlock the first 4 ascension points, can repeat it as many times as needed

[steep pasture]

can i trade my skins for in game money?

[potent totem]

You can trade gear for orbs

[teal nymph]

when should i start making maps yellow?

[potent totem]

Yellow waystones?

[teal nymph]

yeah

[past rain]

is there a reason i cant pick some passive nodes even though they have the gold bar leading up to them? is it bugged?

[hardy sun]

I'm only doing t1s, but might start upgrading them to yellow, hoping to get better drops

[wet viper]

no, it's rather obvious that sorc is faveroll atm, to have 5-10k hp, be a range class, that can range-aoe-stun/freeze, still does insane damage, and stays at 100% mana when spam-casting all of the above 😄

[hasty osprey]

Idk man, u need to have pretty good gear for that. I think if u have the funds u can make almost all of the classes beastlike. Currently i think top is gemling then monk then sorc

[wet viper]

you just need the build and enough mana regen, and mana regen is everywhere.

[past rain]

someone help why cant i pick passives. the line leading to it is gold

[wet viper]

and ofcourse sorc being sorc, does not need any chaos resistance, if you just chose that node

and you dont need life, and you can do with either mana or shield, so gear is plentiful

[hasty osprey]

I think that is pretty endgame build to be honest. Like u need good gear and progressed a bit on maps to afford to run it

Dont deny its good, but still like every other endgame build

[past rain]

i logged out and logged in and it worked 🤷

[potent totem]

For maps within towers and good modifiers

[hasty osprey]

But lets say yeah, 10ex to get started, pretty doable

[potent totem]

I do yellow every map, it's cheap and easy

[teal nymph]

im at t5, is that too early

[hasty osprey]

But u wont be immortal with that gear

[potent totem]

No, I did yellow at t5

[wet viper]

if you have nothing, sure, but you'll get stuff during lvling.

[blissful frigate]

My heralds and frenzy works but not element invocation

[wraith ermine]

can i check, if i buy cosmetics from poe 1 now, can i equip in poe 2?

[blissful frigate]

Only if they are transferred over already

[olive sapphire]

guys i have no any hideout in atlas after 70 maps is that bug or normal?

[stark lynx]

Not all are imported to Poe2 yet, but eventually all that are applicable will be

[visual ruin]

not all

[mellow plank]

how do i prevent this?

[wraith ermine]

so even if i buy now in poe 1, might not necessary be able to use in poe 2?

[half pasture]

What's the cheapest build out of these 3 to get going... srs minion witch, lightning arrow deadeye, or stormwraver spark

[fresh ivy]

not all cosmetics and MTX are supported in POE2... alot are, but not all

[wraith ermine]

is there any way i can check?

[fresh ivy]

im not aware of any way

[sharp light]

how many support gems should you expect to have found by the time you hit level 20

[stark lynx]

I vaguely remember seeing a list a while ago from poedb or similar site

[wet viper]

do you get poe2 cosmetics in poe1? is they are in both games?

buy in poe2, get in poe1

[onyx stirrup]

what does this icon mean?

[wet viper]

underground area without waypoint

[wraith ermine]

i wanted the cat pet in poe 1 so i can use in poe 2 🤡

[fresh ivy]

ive seen alot of pets running around, so i suspect most (if not all) pets work in both

[hardy grotto]

hello which one is the best pls ?

[plain relic]

first imo

[hardy grotto]

same for me but why?

i dont rly understand

[fresh ivy]

anyone have a good method to avoid turning a corner quickly and dying to a pack of 40 little ranged dudes spitting at you? (besides opening eyes)

[plain relic]

i mean it boosts all elements instead of lightning
more phys damage

also additional arrow is not bad tbh

idk your build so you know best

[hardy grotto]

LA

[neat girder]

The dead minion indicator outline thingy for a Witch to summon minions from - can the color be changed?

[fresh ivy]

i dont think so

[gentle rain]

is travel to traitors passage bugged for cruel difficulty? i looked all over and couldnt find it

[vocal cave]

guys which venom draught did u guys pick from servi? ailment threshold or the mana regen one?

[mint bison]

Anyone knows how to fix the game from crashing out?

[hasty osprey]

guys on ps5 is it possible to move the map

[thorn hemlock]

Change to Vulkan from DX12?

[fresh ivy]

^^ this is the thing taht helps my buddy

[frank frigate]

which venom draught will be better for endgame ailment or mana regen

[potent totem]

Common issue

[ebon turret]

question when does this game get hard again im in the maps part?

[potent totem]

Whatever works for you

[quaint umbra]

Trying to use the trade in game and keep getting a message saying xbox account has restrictions, Anyone know what i need to turn off in account to get access?

[narrow swan]

How does "15% increased chance to shock" work? is it a flat 15% value everytime i attack that stacks additvely with other %inc chacne to shock? or what?

[wet viper]

Is it intended that some delirium mirrors are very small, like 20m wide?

the spawned dimension

[potent totem]

You have to find them around the map they're small yeah

[wet viper]

or are there dead zones within the mist that make you leave accidentally?

i mean the whole mirror, not the small portals

[potent totem]

It's map wide I've never ran out of a delirium

[wet viper]

only once have i gotten a half-zone large mirror, the 2 other times it was so small i dont even know how i left it

[potent totem]

I don't have a clue, I've never had that problem

[spice adder]

What are the best jewels for warrior?

[wet viper]

could be a bug, i have never had a map wide delirium mirror

[gentle rain]

ok glad im not alone lol ggg adress an update to this?

[potent totem]

I've done like 50 of them and it's always been the entire map I just have to find the small ones and kill mobs

[ebon turret]

also question what does corruption do?

[potent totem]

I'm not sure personally

[gentle rain]

gottcha, thanks for the info

[potent totem]

Adds an extra stat to it but you can't modify it anymore

[wet viper]

weird, but how do you even get the loot, it drops after you leave the zone for me

[frigid ivy]

is kosis in the poe2 simulacrum

[ebon turret]

i did it to my skill

[potent totem]

Once I've done all the mirrors it drops by my feet

[hardy sun]

They tried to vaal for extra link but failed, can upgrade now

[potent totem]

If you hold alt it'll show you the stats

[ebon turret]

oh it gave me 6 extra hits

[wet viper]

ok, then my one big zone was bugged too, because i tripplechecked every spot on the map within the delirium, it had a clear marking line where it ended where a countdown started

[ebon turret]

it gave me 6 extra hits

[wet viper]

but the countdown was at 4 for 4 sec, it did not even count down 😄

[potent totem]

The thing in the bottom right/left?

[wet viper]

could be they fixed delirium in this big patch

[potent totem]

I don't really understand most endgame mechanics I just do it

[potent totem]

Nice, bell is good through the acts I used it a lot

[mint bison]

Why does my game started crashing out in Act 3?

Common issue?

[spring thicket]

Happens for me only act with issues

Idk the screen flickers in act 3 main camp fine elsewhere within act 3

[potent totem]

There's a few issues with crashes, I've never experienced it but if you look around you'll probably find an answer

[ebon turret]

im at maps its just boring

[potent totem]

Yep, I'm doing t10 atm and just melting everything instantly

[tacit knot]

I dont understand how projectile speed works. I mean id have thought itd be just attack speed, but how does projectile speed add to this?

[jade charm]

noob question: does "crossbow shot" skill's support gems affect the shot from the loaded bolts?

[errant vapor]

projectile speed = how fast the projectile moves, not how fast you fire it

[ebon turret]

the game is getting stale for me fast

[tacit knot]

Yes haatsku but why exactly would this be important sorry for asking.

[errant vapor]

for example on my infernalist summoner, the skeletal arsonists projectiles move so damn slow that they miss moving targets. Its beneficial to use projectile speed support to make the attacks hit moving targets

[jade charm]

i believe there is a node on the tree that makes projectile speed affect damage + it makes it easier to shoot at distant enemies (skill shot)

[flat crystal]

What stats must monk look for on quarterstaff. Both physical and elemental?

[jade charm]

less of a chance the enemy moves away from your projectile while it's travelling

[loud copper]

Is there level scaling in the campaign or can I go grind previous maps to get an advantage when I'm stuck?

[flat crystal]

Desert map has a form of lv scaling i reckon

[compact matrix]

When do we get uncut support gems lvl and 3 ??

[flat crystal]

Each boss clear makes other location +1 map lvl

[hardy sun]

Getting better gear is probably going to be the biggest factor

[loud copper]

the vendors don't have much for me, but I figured more skills would be good

like more abilities

[tacit knot]

Thabks guys

[hardy sun]

Oh, misread the question, yes you get less exp if you got to lower stages

[lapis meteor]

is temple of chaos in act 3 volunterr?

[loud copper]

hmm okay. Thanks for the info guys <3

[hybrid star]

Unarmed attack from Concoctions works with Widowhail?

[loud copper]

this was also useful. just having trouble getting the gear when I'm stuck lol. gotta grind it I suppose

[potent totem]

You'll find a piece or 2 of really good gear that'll accelerate you

[rugged tangle]

grind and use currency if you get some exalt to trade, its much faster to get good gear trading than grinding

[loud copper]

i have no idea how to start trading with other players

[rugged tangle]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard

[loud copper]

thank you

[rugged tangle]

takes some tinkering to learn all the filters and such but its pretty easy once you know how and what your looking for

[loud copper]

this is a lot for a level 5 player

[rugged tangle]

ya poe has a pretty substantial learning curve for new players

[narrow shuttle]

Anyone playing minion witch ? Does the build function well if I don't use the command skill of aronists/snipers very often ? I'm on controller and prefer less buttons to smash.

[loud copper]

sorry for the dumb questions, but is quarterstaff a warstaff or a staff?

[rugged tangle]

warstaff

[loud copper]

ty

[whole locust]

how do I get back to aggroat after progressing in cruel

[loud copper]

Things are clicking for me now

[lethal vessel]

i'm currently in act 3. can i still go back to act 1 to farm support gems or do i need to kill stuff that is near my lvl?

[fresh ivy]

neither, quarterstaff is a quarterstaff

[patent comet]

guys is there a specific path to follow in endgame? or just do everything? like which direction do i go first?

[hardy sun]

Just keep going forward, no need to grind lower than where you are now

[quartz patrol]

well RIP "fandom to wiki" chrome extension :'( chrome no longer supports it

[hardy sun]

Uncut gems, 1-4 are virtually no change to clearing beginning

[quartz patrol]

as well as ublock

[fresh ivy]

@patent comet what i like to do is path out on the non-buffed nodes first, to open up options for what to do later... and use those easier nodes to progress your atlast quest/opints

[patent comet]

ohh great idea. ill do that. thank you!

[glass turtle]

what is this?

[fresh ivy]

@patent comet more important is the atlas tree... first get the three +tier percentage nodes going up/north, then i like to head southwest towards rare packs and eventually to strongboxes

[loud copper]

I did find quarterstaves by selecting warstaff on the PoE trade website tho. Upgrading my weapon really helped too

[quick stag]

anyone know how to do this cruel act 2 quest, im already in maps but i still have it whenever i go to act 2 cruel

i killed balbala in traitor's passage, nothing happened

[fresh ivy]

there is another boss /exit

[hardy sun]

A couple quests don't clear i heard. Cruel would mean 6th ascension point, which might be that you haven't completed it. It should clear from normal act2 after getting first ascension

[novel rampart]

Is this a writing error, and it's supposed to be extra damage? (Mana Tempest)

[fresh ivy]

it says "GAIN"

[tacit knot]

Sorry but is the explosion of gas arrow scaleable with projectile damage?

[fresh ivy]

@novel rampart they "GAIN" extra damage

[novel rampart]

Yes, but everything else says "gain as extra"

[fresh ivy]

yeah, dunno why it's different, but it means the same thing

probably it was too long with extra in there

its already really long

@quick stag did you find the way out of the passage?

[quick stag]

No, as u can see, there’s nothing left unchecked

First image shows Balbala room

On the left

[fresh ivy]

the exit is not near the balbala room

[quick stag]

Exit to where

[fresh ivy]

hold up, let me check i dont want to give you bad advice from bad memory

wait, you are in act 5 (cruel 2)... i think that quest is confused from your act 2

@quick stag did you do your first ascension?

[rapid eagle]

LF help viper N, I can’t beat her

[quick stag]

Yes, I’m already in maps

[crystal lodge]

Do your resistances continue to take a hit when you progress through the Acts in Cruel difficulty as well?

[quick stag]

Im just trying to complete the quest

[fresh ivy]

@quick stag you dont need that quest at all in cruel, you can ignore it and just progress the campaign

you can kill the assasin all you want, it will never remove that quest

you will always see it there

[quick stag]

Hm, alright

[fresh ivy]

its just a "bug" of the cruel stuff which will go away

[quick stag]

And the teleport button on the right for trial of chaos, does that exist for trial of sekhemas?

[fresh ivy]

no

[quick stag]

I see, so u gotta just TP to it manually

[fresh ivy]

yes, i think they are trying to help people focus on chaos instead, because many people are frustrated by sekhemas/honor, but that system is designed for hardcore really

[rapid eagle]

Anyone help with normal Viper Napuatzi ?

[fresh ivy]

what kind of help do you need deklnu

[rapid eagle]

30+ times and I can’t beat her

Lvl 46

[nova spruce]

finally dropped my first div, do you guys think the price will increase (currently 78ex) or drop ?

[fresh ivy]

are you asking to skip her? or for tips?

[rapid eagle]

Skip

[fresh ivy]

okay... im in a short map, i can do it after im done

[rapid eagle]

Ty ty

[fresh ivy]

add Kuro_MT

[rapid eagle]

Lockedgoblin689

Ok

[lethal vessel]

what does "corrupting an item" do in poe2?

[errant vapor]

gambling really 😄

[meager galleon]

more or less the same as in poe1, just the outcomes are slightly different

the positive corruption outcomes are stronger than in poe1

the negative are about as bad as poe1

[lethal vessel]

ok may screw me completely but time to corrupt main weapon then

[meager galleon]

rule still applies

dont corrupt anything you can't afford to lose

[lethal vessel]

didn't do anything

[dense estuary]

Hello. My crossbow has 3 modifiy. How can I get 4th and more? Which currency I need? Couldn’t figure out

[hardy sun]

I've made 4-5 corrupt items, all have had a positive outcome. I haven't bricked anything yet

[hardy sun]

Exalts add a random modifier

[dense estuary]

Okey. Thank you

[hardy sun]

May rnjeesus bless you

[dense estuary]

Thanks 😂 you too

[hardy sun]

Get that t9 mod

[amber prairie]

hello! im new to poe in general, so I decided to go with a infernal wall/spark sorc build and have been randomly adding in the passive skill tree (mana regen, int attributes, elemental damage ect), am I cooked if I don't follow a specific build?

[hardy sun]

I had a decent chest piece with 5 mods, final exalt gave me t1 life, a whole 15hp. Still using it since it's best chest piece so far for me

[hardy sun]

Probably, very big learning curve for poe. Skill tree is crazy big

[meager galleon]

in general, beating acts should be fine if your decisions about the build aren't completely stupid. having a solid build for the mid to late endgame will be tricky without a plan

[amber prairie]

Oh no... I'm currently lvl 30, should I respec and follow a youtube guide (?) or do I remake?

[meager galleon]

depends what you want to do, for some ppl its fun figuring out stuff on their own, others want a bit more hand holdy experience

[hardy sun]

It's tricky but possible. I don't recall how I did it, went to a zone, opened town portal and it took me to normal zigg town with people. No way point in it

Was weird to get out of it without the waypoint

[rapid eagle]

Thanks Kuro!!!

[fresh ivy]

welcome

plaiides - there is some really weird time phasing, easiest thing to do is just fight to act 1 first town and use that town

[grim bramble]

no, you can respec after the story, it has just been made a lot cheaper, enjoy your first run through

[hardy sun]

Passive tree might be reworked, just costs gold, not expensive. Keep going

[fresh ivy]

@amber prairie respec is really cheap, do it whenever you want

@rapid eagle the final act boss is alot harder than viper.. so you probably need to work on your gear and spec 🙂

[amber prairie]

thank you everyone! really fun so far, loving this game just blasting through mobs, the bosses do give me a hard time sometimes so I wasn't sure

[fresh ivy]

@amber prairie what class/weapon you playing?

[amber prairie]

I'm playing a sorcerer & using veangeance roar chiming staff

[near harness]

is there a guide or anything so i can learn what items are actually good and worth keeping/trading?
im lv 60 now and i feel like i shouldnt keep dismantling and selling everything

[lapis kettle]

Is there any way to move the Atlas so that parts of the map that I have already opened appear? Without these "cuts"

[fresh ivy]

@near harness there are lots of guides on itemization, is that what you are looking for? or more of an item strategy?

[near harness]

i mean just being able to see what items are good, not just for equipping
but more importantly so i can trade it away later because its rare and people might want it

[fresh ivy]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei8LHjIGL9Q

for items to be valuable, they need to have high tier rolls that are inline with their usage

that usually means some high resistance rolls, high life an/or ES, and a high damage roll that's appropriate to the slot

[near harness]

gotcha thanks

[fresh ivy]

though 60 is too low to see (most of) the truly valuable items, except uniques

[near harness]

yeah but im getting close to the stuff i reckon
so i wanted to learn before its too late

[meager galleon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ early access bugs, had broken visual like that too, it just kinda fixed itself as i kept doing other maps

[thorny heron]

Hello!
With which class did you start????

[hardy sun]

I started warrior, got to level 8 and quit. Went ranger and finished campaign, then started monk and cleared campaign again but so much easier. Better gear helps but also knowing boss mechanics

[meager galleon]

yes

[hardy sun]

Yes. I need to verify my characters didn't miss it. But according to a list of boosts, 100 spirit from campaign

[meager galleon]

30 in act1, 30 in act3, 40 in act3 cruel

[thorny heron]

I start Monk but i was in trouble many times so i am thinking to start a Witch with minions for easier gameplay.

[fresh ivy]

@kas minions is easier, but if you fix your monk build it's really fun and fast and not too hard

@weak swan switch to frost monk ice strike

[shut abyss]

i started with a monk and it was rough until i figured out glacial cascade

[hardy sun]

I struggled with monk until level 40 or so. Build comes along super good once you get to there

[fresh ivy]

the safeest monk is donig melee with frost-strike and bell, and mid-range with wave-of-frost, glacial cascade, and frost bomb

[thorny heron]

Oh i see

[fresh ivy]

i struggled with my first monk, then rerolled, went frost and facerolled all the way to act 3, soloed every boss, most only one attempt, some 1-3

[signal kraken]

Hello guys, I'm following guide for Lighting Arrow and now in Passive Tree it is saying to pick "Any Attribute" - I'm not sure what to picK?

[thorny heron]

Then because i haven't play for years i have to see him again then. Well i saw a guide and i try lightning arrow and it was kinda easier xD but its still monk with bow lol

[shut abyss]

i just softened up the mobs little bith with glacial or stormwave and then went melee with the bell until i could skip the ranged part

[hardy sun]

Yeah, getting charged staff and power charges along with the bell

[fresh ivy]

usually you want to pick dexterity on ranger, or strength if you need more health, unless you need something else for a gem

[void steppe]

Hello everyone, nice to meet you all

I am a newbie and want to know how a newbie should play this game

[fresh ivy]

with gusto!

[hardy sun]

Try to follow a guide. Passive tree and skill gems take a long time to figure out.

[void steppe]

What else?

[hardy sun]

Understand that you'll die, a lot. Game is meant to kill out.

[final prism]

do skill gems lvl 11 drop before cruel?

[hardy sun]

Don't believe so. I forget what normal ends at, is it even 10?

[void steppe]

I probably understand a little bit

[fresh ivy]

@void steppe that's good advice.. expect to die, it's normal..... if you have played poe1 you probably dont need to follow a build guide, but if you have not, it might be a good idea the first time

[void steppe]

I think so too

[craggy gyro]

Hello

[void steppe]

Hello

[final prism]

can someone give me a level 11 gems if he has extra ones ?

or 12

[wet viper]

i tested 5% aditional dmg reduction for a while against silverfist slam, it does not seem to make any difference, identical results for both. Someone in chat said ''armor is nothing on its own, need aditional reduction on chest''

[lethal vessel]

what is the difference between the trial for ascendancy in act 2 and the one in act 3? is it not all the same thing anymore like how it was in poe1?

[hardy sun]

You'll get there eventually, gem drops are common enough, except spirit ones are less common than skill

[hardy sun]

2 different activities, both kill you a lot

[grim bramble]

act 2 you have a permant extra bar, if you get hit it goes down, reach 0 and fail (sanctum)
act 3 is basically ultimatum but instead of a circle you get multiple rooms

[lethal vessel]

good thing i just leveled up and cant loose anymore exp for a while

[wet viper]

sekhemas is a lot more about learning by dying, chaos trials can be learn by taking dmg mostly, but in chaos you need to learn wich modifiers are dangerous and wich are less so

[hardy sun]

That honor bar sucks. I hate it

[fresh ivy]

totally differnt than poe1, two differrent ascension options, youc an use either one.. i recommend doing first ascension in act 2 sekemas trial, and the rest in chaos... but everyone has different opinions/preferences

[lethal vessel]

i did not change the item it showcased in the beginning, could i have done that?

[wet viper]

actually both are kinda learning by dying, but chaos takes 20 min to learn, sekhemas can take a whole day

[grim bramble]

get 75% honor resistance, makes it easy

[fresh ivy]

chaos is more RNG honestly... so you will have unwinnable chaos trials, and then you will get easy ones

[soft flower]

Hello everyone, I'm brand new to Path of Exile. I'm loving the game but struggling with my DPS. I understand upgrading weapons/gear but I'm still getting the same weapon drops at level 25 that I was getting at level one; a crossbow (I play a mercenary) with 6-10 damage range. Outside of +Physical Damage is there a way to get better damage on weapons before upgrading?

[craggy gyro]

ì have so many uncut skill gems, can i somehow merge them into higher once? i dont need a level 3 uncut skill gem anymore

[void sandal]

how do i get back to the other ziggurat camp with Oswald ? i click and it takes me here but i dont see nobody

[hardy sun]

Yeah, ssf so I have to get those relic things. Haven't put in much time other than clearing for the 4 points

[grim bramble]

both +physical and + % physical on weapon, you will drop advanced weapons from act 4

[wet viper]

i think chaos has almost no unwinnable versions, you'd need to be 1% unlucky to get 3 super dangerous mods at once

[fresh ivy]

@tacp early focus on your skills, and trying to use thost blue magic crafting orbs to upgrade a white weapon if you dont find a blue/yellow one

[shut abyss]

ahh trial of time completed

[lethal vessel]

if they have slots in them, you could try putting in some runes, but other than that no clue

[fluid heart]

respec is bugged on my end, it's very weird, I confirm but no gold are deducted and when I enter an map it's still my old talent tree
is there anything I can do?

[soft flower]

yeah, I'm only in Act 2. struggling to kill stuff because my DPS isn't high enough. it's a very slow process.

[grim bramble]

you can get extra dmg rolls on rings and gloves

[fresh ivy]

@fluid heart are you doing refunds and spending in the same commit? if so, you might try just refunding the points and clicking "Accept" and then spending them

[fluid heart]

okay I'll do that, thank you

wait no I can't, it's one of the branch holding everything

[fresh ivy]

@soft flower if you want to get on voice/video i could help you with details.. otherwise i'd say just try to use some of your rafting mats

[hardy sun]

At very early stages, I pick other gear with dmg boosts. Rings, gloves, etc

[fresh ivy]

@panko what do you mean you cant?

[craggy gyro]

I have so many uncut skill gems, can i somehow merge them into higher once? i dont need a level 3 uncut skill gem anymore

[soft flower]

ok, dumb question......what's a rafting mat? 😛

[hardy sun]

You don't need super defensive stats through normal, pick dps boosts from gear

[fresh ivy]

@soft flower crafting mat.... it's those orbs ... they say "turn a normal item into a magic item" or "a normal item into a rare item"

[wet viper]

see if you can respecc too, if you are not getting oneshot. 1 good node can increase total dmg by 20%

[fresh ivy]

@soft flower or you can just re-run some zones and try to get drops.. you can "reset" any zone by control-clicking the map-node and choosing "new"

[hardy sun]

Not for now. Having extra tabs helps to hoard stuff. Having 2-4 lower tier ones helps if you expect to play another character

[fresh ivy]

@soft flower also, dig into the skills and support gems you are using.. because there is lots of dmg there

[bold needle]

does anyone know which cosmetic makes people float? i've seen them around

[lethal vessel]

can you take the corrupted rewards and continue or will it end my run?

[soft flower]

Ah, yes, I've been doing that but they're not dropping enough for me to do everything. I guess I keep watching youtube videos where the streamer has a weapon that does like 214-370 base damage and have no idea how to get there from something that starts with 6-10 base damage. I understand they're in the endgame (way farther than me) but wasn't sure if weapon drops get better as the game goes on or if they were doing something different to make the damage so high

[craggy gyro]

`my stash is full bc of them

[soft flower]

thank you to everyone for the advice! I'm going to give it another shot and see what I can do.

[fresh ivy]

@taco yeah, dont compare that, but there are better weapons.... most people get them by luck by just doing the content or by getting lucky with crafting

[fluid heart]

I meant I had to do some change in the same commit since it's not a leaf but a branch but nevermind it worked now
had to commit twice and pay more gold than needed but well at least I can respec

[hardy sun]

If it's from green story one, you can't quit. Otherwise leaving is ok

[fresh ivy]

yeah, there is some kind of bug with respecs that change the tree in certain ways, where it decides the order it's going to try to "process" the respec, and if it tries to make an invalid change, it just fails

[fluid heart]

okay so it's indeed a bug
thanks a bunch for the help

thankfully they decreased the gold needed so it's fine

[lethal vessel]

ok this will be quite alot harder than the first one

[hardy sun]

Keep going, eventually you'll get that yellow weapon that fits your build and give you the big boost.

[void elk]

Hey, does it matter if i get the game via website or steam? And if so, which one's better? Ty

[stable swallow]

Question guys. i am about to end my story in curel. will my ressistenses go down again?

[patent comet]

guys does doing higher tier maps give more exp?

[floral cobalt]

can i respec ascendency?

[fresh ivy]

there is one advantage to buying on the website.. which is that you can "upgrade" the pack you buy

@floral cobalt no

[floral cobalt]

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiettttttttttt

[fresh ivy]

@void elk if you buy on the website, they will still give you a steam key to install via steam and play via steam, which I personally recommend...

[void elk]

Ah i see, ty!

[lethal vessel]

also if you buy on steam, you can refund until the launch of the game if you want, since steam has no time limit on refunding early access games. (can't confirm this, but have been told this)

[fresh ivy]

@floral cobalt but once you know how the game works, the time to reroll and get back to ascendancy is like 1/3 as long

[floral cobalt]

ye i know, but didnt know i cant respec ascension like in poe1, well new char then

[fresh ivy]

@floral cobalt which ascendancy did you choose and not want?

[wet carbon]

anyone need help ?

[lethal vessel]

if the first trialmaster challenge has 10 rounds, and it said 4 trials on the item i put in to open the challenge, does that mean it is 40 challenge rooms?

[midnight bolt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yxLW37FA_I

Heft gem bug giving more damage

[fresh ivy]

@lethal vessel i never understand those numbers, because it said it had 10 rounds, but i finished in 5/6

4 trials means you can do all 4 (8) ascension points

i think

[lethal vessel]

ahh

[fresh ivy]

when you see a "trial:1" you can only do rthe first ascension

[lethal vessel]

ok maybe i should go back and attempt it again

[true radish]

hi where do i find the other half?

[fresh ivy]

@true radish one of them comes from the bone-pits, the other one comes from .. hmm

[hardy sun]

A different zone. I forget the name. The top zone gives one, middle zone gives 2nd. Then you take both to bottom zone with the mountain dudes

Top, mid, bottom of map screen

[true radish]

im in the valley of titans right now

[dense smelt]

Marshlands.

[true radish]

i put it the other half is missing

ohhh

okok

[dense smelt]

It's bonepits but yes. Just have to farm for it on a different map

[fervent bison]

Can you Link items in chat on controller?

[quick pebble]

Please can someone answer me , can we change the gender of my char . or am i stuck playing female sorcess and other female char

[terse gale]

Hello new player here, I am wondering why I cant unlock certain abilites on witch

[craggy gyro]

No

[fervent bison]

you can not change

[hexed flame]

Hello. I just saw the snipe build video on reddit, how can you make snipe faster to load up stages ?

[fresh ivy]

you unlock abilities by getting skill gems through drops and quests and then cutting them

[fresh ivy]

classes are gender locked

[quick pebble]

Wow what a waste of a game. They have to stop doing this ,, locking good chars skills with female .

[terse gale]

I watch tutorials on what to build for beginer witch, and the videos say take skeletal archers and flame wall, but those are greyed out when I try to unlock them withj gems

[craggy gyro]

Piss off, idiot

[quick pebble]

So i am left only with 2 males wtf , 1 tank 1 archer ?

[terse gale]

I agree it is a bit of a shame but its because of the voice acting most likely

[hexed flame]

Wait the full game if you want more characters

[fervent bison]

Why does it matter lol

U barely see your character

[terse gale]

I feel like I am doing somthing wrong because all the videos I watch make minions builds from the start and I am lvl 14 and still cant summon more then 1 skele

[azure lava]

Every class can use every skill and piece of gear. Nothing is "locked to females" (except ascendancies)

[hardy sun]

It's tricky because you have stat requirements. The skill could be restricted because of level or stat, str dex int based skills

[fresh ivy]

@terse gale when you first got to the town you should have been able to cut a minion gem

[quick pebble]

I just want male sorcerer , nothing wrong with that. i hate playing females . nothing against them. I think as triple AAA company they should have that from start. I love the game , but this kills is for me

[fresh ivy]

@terse gale though most early buidls use unearth for temporary minions

[terse gale]

My problem is I cant unlock the same abilities the tutorials are telling me to take as first skills 😦

[hexed flame]

Hello. How can I make snipe faster to load up stages ?

[hushed tendon]

anyone know why when i press my skill button for demon form it doesnt activate? i meet all reqs however cant use it?

[azure lava]

I believe it scales with attack speed

[craggy gyro]

No one cares, go play d4 if you want to gender swap

[fresh ivy]

@quick pebble GGG is not exactly AAA yet.... Diablo4 made $700M last year, POE1 made $80M. THough POE2 is going to be a big success so maybe we'll get genders in the ftureu

[quick pebble]

will do , gl with leveling

[fervent bison]

The sorc voice lines are a bit annoying lol

[terse gale]

I am trying to follow beginer witch guide from lvl 1, and i cant choose any of the same abilities 😦

[azure lava]

Does it show any red text or warnings when you hover over it?

[azure lava]

When you cut a gem, click "all gems" in the lower left and use the search feature

[fresh ivy]

@terse gale if you give us something more detailed than that we can help....

[woven pelican]

any recommendation for some totem/melee build?

[eternal sage]

Is there a limit to how many stats you can get on a weapon?

More specifically, a crossbow

[fresh ivy]

@eternal sage all rare items get (up to) 3 prefixes and 3 suffixes

[terse gale]

as you can see all the minion skills are greyed out and I cant choose them

[frank sonnet]

Max, they can have less

[fresh ivy]

@eternal sage magic get up to 2.... though some individual mods are written in two lines which can be a bit confusing.. hold "alt" for more details

[azure lava]

What does it say if you hover over it in your action bar in the lower right? Also, have you tried using it without that support gem slotted in?

[hexed flame]

Thanks. Skill speed is hybrid attack speed and cast speed, additive with them ?

[terse gale]

I am trying to choose skeletal archers and flame wall, but cant even at lvl 14, while the tutoarial i watch chooses them as first unlocks

[azure lava]

Yeah, hold alt and hover over keywords to get a breakdown of them

[fresh ivy]

yes, skill speed is hybrid, and individually adds with bonuses to cast or attack speed also

[azure lava]

What does it show when you hover them?

Or try to engrave them

[hushed tendon]

it was the support gem not sure why?

without it i can use it odd

[terse gale]

this worked for flame wall but not archers

[azure lava]

Yeah spirit is weird and buggy sometimes I've noticed

[hardy sun]

Wrong weapon type? Or you just don't see the skill? What i do is click on all gems, type in the name

[terse gale]

I just cant, it says I dont have enough spirit

[hushed tendon]

alr thank you hwoever aha helps alot ;P

[eternal sage]

So if I want to add more stats to my magic crossbow then I will need to use a Regal Orb on it? Then if I want even more stats I use an Exalted Orb?

[azure lava]

Does it show a warning or anything when you try to cut them? Lack of int or something? You can try disabling gem cutting restrictions in the game options as well

[terse gale]

lack of psirit

spirit*

[meager galleon]

it shows a warning like this

[azure lava]

That's one way to do it, yeah

[hardy sun]

Spirit is another thing, can only use so much per ability

[eternal sage]

What other ways are there?

[void steppe]

Why is there such a warning?

[meager galleon]

ask ggg

[fresh ivy]

@terse gale there are different types of uncut gems.. "Skill", "spirit" and "buff".... skeletons are a "spirit" gem

[azure lava]

Yeah, if you turn off your other minions you might have enough to summon them and the warning will disappear

[terse gale]

I could only choose lame passive with the first and only spirit gem i found

[hardy sun]

Some skills use 30 or 60 spirit, you have to have that minimum before it allows you that buff

[craggy gyro]

No point engraving archers if you can't equip them

[terse gale]

i dont have minions tho!

[craggy gyro]

You have an aura

[meager galleon]

how much spirit do you have gahntoke ?

[craggy gyro]

Which uses spirit

[azure lava]

Adding sockets/runes, using a vaal orb (risky), using a divine orb to roll better stats, and adding quality come to mind

[terse gale]

but why do the tutorials tell me to get it at lvl 1 but i still cant at lvl 14

[meager galleon]

do you have a scepter in your offhand ?

scepters give 100 spirit

[eternal sage]

Gotcha, thanks!

[terse gale]

when how do the tutorials have it at lvl1

[craggy gyro]

Because at that level you were using a sceptre

Which gave 100 spirot

[azure lava]

They equip a scepter for 100 spirit

[fresh ivy]

@terse gale you need to keep using a spirit scepter to use minions

[terse gale]

i dont get why that matters if the guide show to get it at lvl 1 in the first 2 mins of game

[hardy sun]

Highlight the skill, description tells you the amount you need

[queen pond]

How can i get the spell Elemental Storm? I cant seem to find it any where and im level 67

[meager galleon]

the game gives you a scepter before that point

[azure lava]

It's a skill granted by the stormweaver ascendancy I think

[queen pond]

ohhh

[terse gale]

thank you, this might be the problem, but still doesnt explain how dudes get it at lvl 1 on the tutorial

[craggy gyro]

Dude, because they had a sceptre

[viscid gazelle]

Is there any way to re-do my passives without having to remove EVERYTHING?

[azure lava]

You can get scepters from the act 1 vendor if you're lucky. Or mule it from another character

[tacit knot]

Can you wield two 2 handed maces eith the 2 hand un 1 hand node?

[viscid gazelle]

Like, can i somehow just move what i need

[meager galleon]

as a witch in the first zone there are 3 guaranteed drops: wand, scepter and a skill gem

[craggy gyro]

Which gives spirit, before you get spirit before the Frey quest which gives base 30 spirit for an aura

[azure lava]

If you have high enough str, yes

[knotty verge]

Im in desperate need of swapping out my boots, is the best way for me to farm out new boots to kill the boss of the last act or just random bosses of ym current level? I just started act 2 cruel

[terse gale]

NOW i get it thank yoU! i didnt realise this was a thing

[cyan river]

hi,. how to add socket to quiver?

[azure lava]

You cannot

[cyan river]

ah okay

[whole furnace]

hey guys, these "hits" are described as any damage that isn't DoT. Does it have to be direct damage? Or does it count explosions from things like Herald of ash?

[hardy sun]

Removing gear? Or passive points? Game can glitch if you respec passives weirdly, from what I hear

[viscid gazelle]

Passive points, i just want to move like 3 points at the start of the passive skill tree, but for that I'd need to remove everything else, right? Or is there some easier way to do it?

[azure lava]

Best way would be to use the trade site and buy a pair. Aside from that, Check vendors and maybe gamble. Make sure you're picking up basically every blue+ item as well as white jewelery. ID them at the hooded one and sell everything for gold.

Only exceptions are socketed items, quality items, and 6-mod rares. I recommend salvaging the first two and Disenchanting the third

[fresh ivy]

you can use the respec tool to "borrow" some points from elseqwhere, then add them where you want them, then remove them where you dont want them, then put back the borrowed points....

BUT -- sometimes this will fail

[azure lava]

Oh and pick up white boots and transmute+augment them

Movement speed is king on boots

[craggy gyro]

Only the initial damaging hit with give bonus dmg as soon a s they are below 100% the bonus is lost

[viscid gazelle]

Oooh I get it now, thank you!

[craggy gyro]

So if they take 1 damage from an aoe, the bonus is no longer gonna apply

[fresh ivy]

@viscid gazelle the most reliable way to do it is just to unspec 3 points from the end of the tree.. apply.. put the 3 re-route points you want, apply, then remove the 3 unwanted routes and put them back at the end..... 3steps

[whole furnace]

In my build I blow up 1 guy and the rest take damage from him blowing up. Those guys will still be at full HP, so will the AoE explosion deal the bonus damage? Or does it have to be direct damage I deal myself with my abilities.

[hardy sun]

Oh... gotta go all the way back. Or... if you can connect it to the beginning without breaking it. But maybe that's the glitch, i dunno

[knotty verge]

Ive been really trying to find boots with move speed and bit of res but ive been having terrible luck\

[fresh ivy]

i dont know how i got so lucky with these rolls.. i keep trying to make/find a new weapon at level 74 and it is never this good 🙂

[hardy sun]

That's better than mine, I'm level 72, hoping to upgrade to 200 dmg or better

[solar hemlock]

Is Bonestorm hitbox bugged? Some enemies feel like that evade the spell hit. I am in act 2

[timber ferry]

I got a problem where I can't use the town portal to return to the place where I was, can anyone help me solve this?

[fresh ivy]

seriously. i and i got that item way back around level 60

@timber ferry what happens when you click on it? nothing? if so, go to the waypoint teleporter and teleport as close as you can...

[timber ferry]

I'm doing an ascendancy...

and nothing happens

[fresh ivy]

you can't port back into an ascendancy

[timber ferry]

nope

[fresh ivy]

no, im saying, you are not allowed to port back into an ascendancy

once you leave, thats it

[timber ferry]

oh

[craggy gyro]

does anyone know why my glacial cascade on my monk appears with 0 now and I cant use the skill anymore?

[timber ferry]

I was loot hoarding...

well, now I know

[hardy sun]

You change gear? Missing stat requirements perhaps

[stone palm]

How do I get "tainted oil"

[cursive oasis]

Can someone help me plz

[stone palm]

cant find it anywhere and only info about it is poe 1

[knotty verge]

Ive been trying to generate boots when i pick up whites of the right base but im fairly low on the rare mats so i get a bad roll with a regal and have to mulch it

[cursive bluff]

Got my first move speed boots at level 51 despite transmuting all haha super trash rng

[knotty verge]

Im using Birth of Fury Stone Greaves (the unique) but im int based and its hogging way too many nodes

[hardy sun]

I pick up every single blue/yellow boot i see. If it has speed, I'll work with it until I get an upgrade.

[azure lava]

What do you want to use it for? It sounds like you're talking about anointing a corrupted item, in which case #2┃after-acts-help might be better for you

[stone palm]

but its required ... I want to annoint my corrupted amulet and it shows and asks for a Tainted oil

[azure lava]

Don't ask to ask, just let it rip

[desert sedge]

Don't ask to ask! Post your question here so that people actually know if they can help. It's also better to discuss your question publicly so more people can chime in or learn! That's why these channels are here!

[knotty verge]

Unfortunately i havent actually gotten speed more than once and when i did it had lower attribute requirement mod which is probably second most useless than light radius

[steep fossil]

Well different architectures though. I struggled with performance aswell but after trying many things I found a good compromise. Let me know if you need help with it

[haughty depot]

dropped the first divine of the league, a3c now, thinking of getting myself my 5Ls with it, good idea or its better to save to upgrade gear when entering maps?

[covert notch]

I deal 100 with each glaciar cascade is that enough? I’m in act 2 and this guy ekbab and his puppet are so tanky I barely deal damage

[brisk yew]

might anyone know where i need to sacrifice this? i'm not sure where to go

[azure lava]

The agorrat. I usually find it in the northeast area

Your quest panel should also tell you

[hardy sun]

Yeah, i hate the boot find grind. I finally got a decent 25% speed with some other decent mods yesterday. Didn't care that armor/eva was wrong type.

[tacit knot]

When it says 30% less attack speed while dual wielding how should i see this. Just literally the skill is 30% slower. Or the skill is 2 times faster (1 attack per hand) and then -30%. So what are the advantages of dual wield?

[wicked ferry]

hello everyone , I'm new to poe , can someone send me some marauder builds and links for pobb

[knotty verge]

Is stun threshold a wasted roll?

[brisk yew]

do i have to explicitly start a quest?

[azure lava]

It's really hard to gauge build power from tooltip dps. Can you tell us what level you are and screenshot the weapon you're using? Low dps is almost always due to a bad weapon

[brisk yew]

cos i just dropped it

[azure lava]

No, you can just take it to the altar

It might not be in the quest panel

[smoky warren]

Hello, I have ended act3 on cruel, how do I go back to Oswald with the Idols? I can't go back in time.

[knotty verge]

I guess all i needed to do to roll good boots was to complain about bad rolls for 2 acts lol

[cursive bluff]

Keep going till clearfell and then use waypoint that's what I did

[azure lava]

It's finicky, but I think you can just go to act 3, go through portal, get sent to riverbank, then portal to town, and wp back to act 3 normal. It might take a few tries

[smoky warren]

there is no portal anymore

[knotty verge]

Is cold spell level the most important stat on my weapon if im building cold?

[smoky warren]

I'm talking about act3 cruel

[vast reef]

Hey so I Portaled put after defeating rattle cage (the trial boss) is there a way to avoid having to redo the whole trial

[smoky warren]

there is no Clearfel or portal

[knotty verge]

Ive had this staff for 2 and a half acts and i feel like i should be using something new by now

[azure lava]

Hard to say. I'd use the dps tooltip as a rough ballpark

[hardy sun]

I think if you got to another zone, portal to town, it should send you to right spot. Not past time

[tacit knot]

LOL wtf ggs on that staff

[knotty verge]

My damage doesnt seem to be bad, at the very least

[cursive bluff]

When you find it you will know. There will be a green quest sacrificial knife there also. It doesn't give you a notification you've completed it or got any rewards so check passives after you find the area

[fresh ivy]

if you are building spell dmg, then spell dmg and +cold spell level are both important... cold spell levels increase your mana consumption thuo

[brisk yew]

found it, northeast worked

[craggy gyro]

Go to a diff map ~> way point ~> Can sell in act 3 normal as well afaik

[hardy sun]

What's your main skill dps stat?

[azure lava]

I think you're out of luck, unfortunately

[smoky warren]

When I teleport to Ziggurat encampment, I am at the time travel teleport location, but here portal is not active anymore

[knotty verge]

I dont think any of my skills go off str/agi/int? Im play sorc so im building cold damage as my main thing and everything needs a requirement of int

[azure lava]

Can you hold alt and screenshot the hover text for dual wielding, if there is any?

[hardy sun]

I forget which zone i went to, I did eventually get back to Oswald using the town portal. I think it has to be an early zone of act3, not the past time zones

[azure lava]

Yeah, they've beaten the campaign but cannot get to present act 3

[hardy sun]

It's just gold anyhow, depends how badly you want that 1k gold

[azure lava]

Can you turn them in to act 3 normal Oswald?

[smoky warren]

I will try to go to the very first location of act3 and get from there to the camp

[covert notch]

Dm’ed u

[hardy sun]

I meant that question for someone else, suppose it was odd, lol

[tacit knot]

I was mainly just wondering if there any inherent benefits or disadvantages to dual wielding compared to other ways of playing. Is the damage just the sum of bith your weapons? Snd the speed the same but now u hit with both weapons?

[knotty verge]

oops lol

[hardy sun]

What's your main skill dps on info?

[azure lava]

Yeah, and I can't tell you unless I know what dual wielding does in poe2

Which would come from the tooltip

[smoky warren]

It worked, when I got to the encampment from the first location act3 lol

[knotty verge]

Is my only upgrade to this weapon just another insane roll with higher tiers? Im lvl54 and i havent gotten close to getting a damage upgrade to this using tooltips to compare dmg

[hardy sun]

Cool, I remember it being something weird like that

[azure lava]

It has no cast speed and the spell damage roll is kind of low, tbh. So if you found one with +2-3 levels but had cold damage, spell damage, and cast speed, I'd bet it would be an improvement

[tacit knot]

For example lets day both ur weapons are 200 dps (whatever u get what I mean) and ur attack speed is 1 with this skill https://poe2db.tw/us/Molten_Blast how to calculate

[azure lava]

You're misunderstanding me. I don't know how dual wielding works in poe2 and I need to see the alt+hover text for it before I can help you

[brisk yew]

@azure lavabased on what you said in the thread, it means that the phys damage on this bow is doing literally nothing?

[azure lava]

Correct, that is a dead mod

[hardy sun]

Yeah, the grind for weapon upgrades is rare. I've had my same weapon since 50s range, lvl72 now

[brisk yew]

my mind is blown

[azure lava]

Increased physical damage mods on weapons are local. And if there's no base physical damage to modify, it increases nothing

[shut abyss]

yup but well, what is it increasing if all your doing is chaos? D: 🤯

[hardy sun]

Yep, that's the weird thing about this game. Dead buffs

[brisk yew]

is there a mod that increases chaos damage by X%?

[azure lava]

No clue

[brisk yew]

cos if there is i'm thinking of trying to roll for it

[azure lava]

Poe2db.tw might know

[brisk yew]

like getting some cultist bows and rolling from there

[hardy sun]

Passive tree and some rare ascension builds, tough for chaos builds

[brisk yew]

that's actually... i never thought about it
