[lost scaffold]

but danny isn't wrong, you can always just path to more

[limpid wadi]

Good point, there might be something to that. One thing though, isn't there a map tier dependency to them? Meaning, if it's a low level waystone it affects less nodes around it?

[lost scaffold]

wanted to ask, is it that you're slowing down in clear time or more information/decision overload?

[limpid wadi]

So following that logic they should be left alone for maximum juiceability, or am I misunderstanding that?

Think that's the biggest point of contention here

[oak sun]

does anyone know why I can only spec 22/24 weapon set points?

[unreal coyote]

wtf is twink leveling

[lost scaffold]

if you want to minmax, you should leave towers alone until you have good waystones for them
yes

[limpid wadi]

there we go, I had a hunch there's method in this madness

[unreal coyote]

What does twink mean in this scenario

[limpid wadi]

Think I was regretting not going this route previous league.

twink's an alt

another character

unless we're being kinky lol

[unreal coyote]

That makes a lot more sense thank you

[lost scaffold]

what this means is using specific low level, but strong gear to lvl up an alt quickly
this is typically done with unique items like wanderlust and greymake

[unreal coyote]

Oh okay

Im new and was going to follow a leveling guide

And I saw that and was very very confused

[limpid wadi]

Whaddya guys think about the new Chayula ascendancy?

Do follow a guide spimder

[lost scaffold]

for your purposes twink leveling doesn't apply yeah

[hearty walrus]

find a guide titled as a 'league starter'

[unreal coyote]

I was looking at the maxroll leveling guides

[limpid wadi]

It makes this game a lot more digestible for a new player. I've got over 500h and I'm just scratching the surface

[unreal coyote]

Yeah the classes/perk tree scares me lol

[lost scaffold]

those should be perfectly fine to follow

[unreal coyote]

It's the reason I haven't started yet lol

I'm afraid to pick the wrong class and be far into it when I realize I dislike the play style

[lost scaffold]

not unreasonable
I restarted in act 4 twice this league until I found something I like lol

[limpid wadi]

the passives tree is fine. Everything's out there, there's a search bar and tooltips. It's the nitty gritty later that's A LOT for a pea-sized brain like mine

[unreal coyote]

Im thinking about amazon/minion infernalist/deadeye rn

[lost scaffold]

minions are crazy strong this league, hard to go wrong there

[limpid wadi]

yeah, my missus tried a minion build, and she's playing and watching youtube at the same time

while I'm strugglin to keep my head above water

lol

[unreal coyote]

Lol

[limpid wadi]

can't go wrong with deadeye too

see https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds for refrence

[unreal coyote]

What's the difference between rise of the abyssal and standard?

[limpid wadi]

sdandard doesn't have the new league mechanic

the abyssal - green nasty stuff that kills, lotta ways to craft

you want to go with the league

[lost scaffold]

rise of the abyssal is the current league, it's a limited time event where everyone makes a fresh character with a fresh economy

[limpid wadi]

^

[lost scaffold]

we'll be on this league for a few months, then make new characters when the next one starts

[unreal coyote]

Until release?

[lost scaffold]

and so on

[limpid wadi]

until we all perish

[unreal coyote]

Lol

[limpid wadi]

standard is the game's graveyard

[lost scaffold]

but yeah, play abyssal

more people and more content

[unreal coyote]

For hardcore characters?

[limpid wadi]

for league characters

[unreal coyote]

Oh i see

[limpid wadi]

every 4 months your league characters end up in standard

and the cycle of grind continues

[unreal coyote]

How is the huntress?

[azure lava]

Hardcore abyssal league characters get dumped in Softcore abyssal league when they die. It's unusual for poe

[limpid wadi]

awesome I loved it

[azure lava]

It's hard to judge something as generic as a class in poe. All classes can use all skills and gear

[lost scaffold]

a little nerfed compared to 0.2 but still pretty good imo

[main oar]

Question:

When I have Lich with Eternal Life, it's assumed that Heavy Buffers 5% + Soulless Forms 10% + Atziris Disdains 10% add up to 25%, rather than working multiplicatively (0.95 x 0.9 x 0.9 = 23% less damage taken).

Does this mean that when I add 8% damage taken from Mana before Life, it adds up to 25+8=33% less damage taken, rather than the 8% applying to the 75% (0.75 x 0.92 = 31% less damage taken)?

[unreal coyote]

I guess I still don't entirely get how the class/ascendency buffs work

[limpid wadi]

Guess it's the archetype that we judge here but yeah a question about a weapon type would be more appropriate here. How it fits the class.

[lost scaffold]

a class does two things;
determines where you start on the passive tree
determines what ascendancies you can pick

otherwise you can use any gear, any weapon, any skills

[limpid wadi]

but skills are tied to a weapon type.

for the most part

[azure lava]

Yes, but all classes can use all weapon types

[waxen osprey]

how are minion builds during the campaign and maps currently balanced: more passive that the witch can stay behind and the minions clear for her or more active like using all kinds of abilities to protect and buff minions and also the minion abilities themselves?

[lost scaffold]

that's true, I should've specified

[glossy cape]

Anyone got any tips for First Herald on Steam Deck? His rock wall shatter ability causes the game to freeze for 3-5 seconds.

[azure lava]

I'm playing a 2h mace witch right now (infernalist)

[limpid wadi]

so deadeye for a mage? probably not the best. But an amazon with a hammer? Possible I guess. There's also weapon swapping. So you can use two types of skill archetypes

[unreal coyote]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/bleed-rake-amazon-build-guide

I think I'm going to try this

[limpid wadi]

chef's kiss

rale and disengage we're breaking speedrunning records last league

[half escarp]

why cant i get ascendecy points ? when i click it and try to alocate points it doesnt let me

[limpid wadi]

I've leveld my chaos-fire monk to 35ish with those two skills this league

[final geyser]

That shows up when you can respec, as well

[lost scaffold]

would have to know the specific wording
as a general rule;
"increased x" is additive
"+x" is additive
"more x" is multiplicative

[main oar]

no, those are damage wordings

[limpid wadi]

also, the new sprint mechanic is just SOOOO GOOD with disengage I was singing praises about it. To the point where I'm almost 70 and am still using a spear for mobility and evading attacks

[hearty walrus]

flat added, increased, and more work the same across the whole game

[final geyser]

Yeah, it's just a general set of terms the game uses, nothing specific to damage.

[hearty walrus]

how many points do you have right now? what tier of trial is that?

[main oar]

Can I just get a direct answer to the question please.

[hearty walrus]

we need to know the wording on those numbers

[half escarp]

i have 2 points atm, its trial of sekima 2nd stage/floor

[hearty walrus]

you need to do a 3 floor trial to get more points

[half escarp]

aah

[hearty walrus]

or 10 room chaos trial

[half escarp]

okei

ty

[hearty walrus]

yeah, those add together

[ruby swallow]

What's the best Pathfinder leveling build? ANything that uses poisons?

[main oar]

So I take a total of 12+5+10+8=35% less damage?

[hearty walrus]

yeah

[main oar]

Awesome, thank you

[eager gazelle]

how do i check what skills use how much spirit? (ingame) aka the toggle menu im not sure how to bring that up again

[lost scaffold]

controller is menu > skills, kbm is G by default
hover over the skill gem and it'll display the cost:

[eager gazelle]

is there any way to increase spirit as a non mage class outside of the amulet?

[lost scaffold]

amulet and body armor are your two main options

[twin nest]

you also need lead me through grace ascendency

amulet???

wait I thought I was in the monk channel

yo my bad

[lost scaffold]

there is some tech with weapon swapping to have a sceptre offhand only for attack use, but that's pretty niche

[twin nest]

but as he said body armour or amulet

unless you are monk then there is an ascendency

[lost scaffold]

indeed, invoker gets all the spirit he wants lol

[twin nest]

I have 222 spirits

[lost scaffold]

[twin nest]

5 auras on me

and 1 cost 100

so I could have more technically

[limpid wadi]

and I practice spirit celibacy 😛 I dunno what to think about Darkness

[twin nest]

the belt?

[limpid wadi]

the

[twin nest]

oh

what ascendency is that

[limpid wadi]

monk's chiuaua

[twin nest]

ooooh

what does it do? never really looked at chayula

[lost scaffold]

it makes chalupas

[twin nest]

[limpid wadi]

it's a buffer between your hp and monsters bonks

[twin nest]

boring

[limpid wadi]

yup

that's why I'm conflicted about it

but I wanted to solve the chayulas misteries

and it's a very specific route

[twin nest]

is my build good if I get 7 fps?

[limpid wadi]

Think It'll shine later with the addition of daggers

that's the metric

[twin nest]

monk is great but not for my pc

i dont even have a bad computer

[limpid wadi]

unless you're playing on a couple peaces of fruit

[twin nest]

but juiced maps with ice strike whew

[limpid wadi]

oh yeah

[twin nest]

just hit 7 fps in a pack of like 100 mobs

[limpid wadi]

and the dude's got an h200!

[twin nest]

they need to buff hp tho

late game a qt is better than hp and it makes me sad

welp I lagged and died

F

[limpid wadi]

qt?

I'm drawing a blank here

-_-

[twin nest]

quarterstaff

[limpid wadi]

oh you mean hollow palm when you say hp

my first thought was health XD

[twin nest]

yeah

[polar fog]

can someone tell me where on earth im supposed to go??

[twin nest]

under you

down

[limpid wadi]

the chimera area

it's there

[twin nest]

wait no nvm

[limpid wadi]

I know I've missed it too :p

[polar fog]

where is that?

[limpid wadi]

have you not killed the chimera in that area?

[polar fog]

OHHHHH

oh my god yeah its a sliver of a blue line i didnt walk to

[limpid wadi]

top left?

yeah

it blows

it's slightly further behind the arena

and it doesn't highlight when you down the beast

[twin nest]

I can't run juiced maps because I die due to lag... gg

[limpid wadi]

dude I was FREAKING out yesterday about the lag in normal maps

turns out frankfurt's servers are being chewed on by crackheads or something

[twin nest]

I am getting like 7-10 fps and I die to idk what

[limpid wadi]

milan's slightly better

but still fucky

[twin nest]

its not server lag

just poor optimization

[limpid wadi]

I mean juiced ones are just cluttered with effects yeah

but there's some major regional server issues

[south sparrow]

If it's that low you might try lower resolution

[twin nest]

like if there is 100 mobs I either kill them all or die

[twin nest]

everything is a low

[south sparrow]

what is your resolution?

[twin nest]

fullhd

normal

[south sparrow]

like 1920x1080?

[twin nest]

yuhg

[limpid wadi]

tried a different renderer?

[south sparrow]

You could try to lower 'max render resolution' or just use windows mode and use a hard lower resolution (smaller window)

[twin nest]

on vulcan

[limpid wadi]

there's some nvidia control panel shenanigans you could try too

[south sparrow]

I use a smaller window on a 1440 moniter

[limpid wadi]

test the other 2

[twin nest]

smaller window is whew tho

[limpid wadi]

Man I dunno if I condone this behaviour Danny

[south sparrow]

Game is unplayable otherwise

[limpid wadi]

right? xd I'll take +10% to blur for a 1000!

the render scale

[south sparrow]

I'

I'd rather have a smaller window than for it to look blurry

[unreal coyote]

so how does parry work?

[limpid wadi]

I used to play windowed WoW at work and it fucked my attention divisibility. I like to think it's because of the windowed mode not doing 5 things at the same time

you hit parry at a right time

the monster fumbles

[minor hedge]

Where can I buy uncut spirit gems? Cant get any to drop

[limpid wadi]

you profit in a given way

[south sparrow]

I would prefer not to, but it's my best option currently. Might upgrade pc soonish

[tepid reef]

are amazon builds any good? rake/lightning spear - pretty much anything that isn't lightning arrow

[unreal coyote]

That makes more sense

[wooden lava]

currency exchangge

[limpid wadi]

say

[twin nest]

what are your pc specs

[minor hedge]

Thx

[cerulean zephyr]

holding the skill puts you into a ready stance. if a nearby enemy hits you from the front while you're in that stance, it will block the damage and retaliate with a hit of your own + adding the parried debuff.

however, doing this will cause your heavy stun bar to build up based on the damage the hit would have dealt. if it fills entirely you'll be heavy stunned (i.e. knocked down for a few seconds).

heavy stun drains fairly quickly while you aren't readied to parry

[twin nest]

I guess I will try to lower max render

but man I dont want a smaller window

[unreal coyote]

heavy stun bar?

[south sparrow]

more than 5 years old, 1080 TI 32 gig ram. 12 virtual cores. I recently cleared space on ssd for poe2 and that's made a huge improvement.

[unreal coyote]

Also portals stay open right?

[twin nest]

ah okay makes sens then

rip

[unreal coyote]

So I can come back to where I am?

[cerulean zephyr]

this bar next to your life

[limpid wadi]

they do until you enter one

[south sparrow]

Don't hurt to try. Can always change it

[unreal coyote]

uh

[twin nest]

I am on a 3060 ti, I cant even imagine you on a 1080 💀

[limpid wadi]

man that's what it is?

[cerulean zephyr]

for a few minutes yes. they'll close if the instance they're linked to times out

[unreal coyote]

So I can drop stuff off at my stash and come back?

[limpid wadi]

I mean when you open your portal ourside the city it stays open untill you go into the city. You come back - you have to open a new one

[south sparrow]

It feels ok currently. Maps might be worse.

[cerulean zephyr]

yes

[unreal coyote]

I also still have no idea how parries work lol

[limpid wadi]

1080 ti with 32 gigs of ram is some serious beef

[cerulean zephyr]

the visibility definitely still needs some work lol

[limpid wadi]

was*

[cerulean zephyr]

what are you still unsure about?

[unreal coyote]

They still hit me?

is there a parry window?

[limpid wadi]

yes

block - hold
parry - time right

[cerulean zephyr]

that's not accurate, as long as you're in the ready stance you will parry. there's no timing requirement

[limpid wadi]

huh, they always stunned me when I held parry

[cerulean zephyr]

that will happen if the hit deals enough damage to fully build the stun bar, yes

[cerulean zephyr]

the parried hit still counts as a hit, but it doesn't deal any actual damage.

[limpid wadi]

doesn't it contribute to the stun bar more than just hitting it right?

[cerulean zephyr]

the stun bar doesn't build up at all normally

it is only used by a few special mechanics, like parrying

[limpid wadi]

interesting. My understanding of it was - the less time spent holding and not attacking the better

[south sparrow]

The contribution is probably the potential damage, not actual damage.

[twin nest]

lower rendering seems to help but man game looks awful

[unreal coyote]

but a lot do?

[limpid wadi]

squint

Xd

[unreal coyote]

like these mud guys are punching me and i can't parry that

[normal crypt]

Is there any good builds for huntress? Early game.

[south sparrow]

yeah, that's why i used a smaller window. but probably better than lagging out and dying

[twin nest]

yeah

I shouldnt get 7 fps on a 3060 ti tho 🫠

[south sparrow]

might be a cpu issue

are your shaders maxing?

[limpid wadi]

they really shouldn't. I'd try timing it. It's a better practice. If you learn to hold and wait something else will get you enyway

[twin nest]

how can I even check that

[limpid wadi]

further into the game

oh and you have to be facing the attack @unreal coyote

[limpid wadi]

at least if they haven't changed that part

[flat mantle]

after playing poe1 on PC using controller (have disability in my shoulder) and being stoked for poe2 early access I cannot even play it. The control scheme for poe 2 is literally backwards or reversed from poe1…. WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU CHANGE IT

complete bs

[limpid wadi]

I haven't played 1 on controller but yeah 2's controlelr support is ASS

[flat mantle]

man its heartbreaking

[twin nest]

doesnt seem like it

[limpid wadi]

they've said there's going to be improvements tho

[south sparrow]

With regard to shaders, one thing to try is to increase shader storage in nvidia control panel.

[flat mantle]

Itd be nice

[unreal coyote]

I was it was weird

I was able to parry every attack but that one

[twin nest]

to be fair the game is also just poorly optimize

[south sparrow]

You can also monitor the cpu in the task manager why you are playing to see if it gets maxed when you lag.

[limpid wadi]

you can't parry aoe attacks. I didn't know the mud guy's attacks was that sorry

[inland umbra]

During the leadup to the launch I saw someone talk about a new warrior passive node that removes the speed penalty from wearing armor but now I can't find it on the tree. Anyone knows where it is?

[twin nest]

yeah nvm shaders do max hard

[limpid wadi]

time for bed. later & gl yall

[inland umbra]

ty ty ❤️

[south sparrow]

The quality for Dark Effigy gives ''+0-0.2 metres impact radius". What is this radius? I thought it just auto hit enemies taking chaos dmg.

[cerulean zephyr]

the radius in which the projectiles deal damage on landing

[south sparrow]

So if there are enemies near the main target they can take damage too? Can it miss the main target?

[molten sand]

I'm level 56, deadeye ranger. At what point should I start messing with skill gems and vaal orbs?

[cerulean zephyr]

yes;
yes, technically, if they're moving fast enough. it targets them when the projectile is created, so if they dash out of the way while the projectile is flying it will miss them.

[south sparrow]

ok, but in general, for single target bosses/harder rares the radius shouldn't be that important, right?

[cerulean zephyr]

generally speaking, yeah. it will help hit fast moving single targets a bit more but probably won't make a massive difference.

[inland umbra]

anybody knows how viable blackflame witch is for SSF?

[native wolf]

Anyone have tips on the abyss bosses in the abyssal depths?
The bosses with stuff like "undying will" etc are so slow to kill, because they keep rapidly moving towards me and refreshing their shields, that also takes a long time to break in the first place

[echo rivet]

What shd I look for in body armour for deadeye build lvl 86 btw

[limpid quartz]

What is a Kurgal' Leash worth? I geus its a skill support?

I dont see any on exchange to figure a price

[hearty walrus]

check poe.ninja

[limpid quartz]

If I read poe.ninja correct its worth 1 chaos?

[unreal coyote]

• Level 3 Uncut Skill Gem (Level 2)

What

[hearty walrus]

ninja is saying it's 8 for 1 chaos

so 1 is 1/8 of a chaos

[hearty walrus]

iirc, it's saying your level needs to be higher

[unreal coyote]

I don't get what it's asking

wait

i get it now

[hearty walrus]

oh

you have a level 2 uncut gem. you need a level 3 unvut gem

[unreal coyote]

what

level 3 level 2?

[hearty walrus]

what level of uncut gem are you trying to use?

[unreal coyote]

2

[hearty walrus]

the skill you're looking at requires a level 3 one

[misty vault]

Im posting an absolute shit ton of stuff for sale.....Loads of levelling stuff and some high end end-game stuff

[unreal coyote]

but it's asking for a level 3 level 2

[hearty walrus]

the thing in parentheses is saying which one you're currently trying to use

[unreal coyote]

oh

[hearty walrus]

i agree, it does look a little confusing

[unreal coyote]

how do I get a level 3

and what should I do with these level 2s

[hearty walrus]

areas level 7+ they can drop in

store them or use them

level up any level 1 skills you have

[tiny saffron]

what is best for least amount of buttons

[hearty walrus]

my poison pathfinder technically uses 3. going onto 5 soon tho

[uneven trout]

on second character, ive done all quests but i cant access endgame?

oh nvm had to go back to act 4

and talk to hooded one

[twin nest]

Yeah I got confused there to for a sec

Welcome to grinding

[dapper stone]

i need help beating Viper Napuatzi in campaign if anyone willing to help be greatly appreciated

[trim turret]

#2┃looking-for-group

[dapper stone]

thanks i pout in looking for group

[spark radish]

does ''x% increased damage with one handed weapons'' boost the damage of shield skill like resonating shield and shield wall?
I checked ingame and it didn't increase the damage when allocating nodes for it but then on path of building it does increase it

[finite kelp]

What does increasing the quality of my skill gems do? I didn’t notice a difference?

Oh never mind I see now

[hearty walrus]

hold whatever the 'additional info' button is on the gem

(on pc it's alt)

[finite kelp]

I see it, thanks 🙂

[still nacelle]

What just happened to me.. I put 50 breech splinters in.. went through the breech on the boss map.. no monsters spawned and I ran to the end before the timer ran out.. hit the checkpoint and the map looked like I could go further but the cliff ended at the edge

Are monsters supposed to spawn in this breech?

It ported me back to the end after the timer and I was frozen for a couple seconds and then the breech closed

I have no idea what I'm supposed to do there

[hearty walrus]

sounds bugged. there was supposed to be monsters to fight and a boss at the end

[still nacelle]

Wtf man... 50 splinters down the tubes

[hearty walrus]

that's like 5ex

[still nacelle]

Oh yeah I guess I can buy them can't i

[smoky pawn]

how are you supposed to get any semblance of single target damage as ed/c on a lich?

i don't think jamanra at end of act 2 is supposed to be an 8+ minute fight into dying at the end xdd

[modern kite]

I managed but it was tough. My ingame name Miss_Hexagone if you want help. I have an old staff you can have.

[smoky pawn]

appreciate that. kind of trying to ssf my way at least thru campaign if I can. i just figure it has to be some issue with my links or something because if I can't fix the issue now then act 3 isn't going to make it easier imo

[modern kite]

Ok, what supports are you running on ED?

[stray pecan]

Am following ZiggyD's spear huntress bleed build, and it tells me to slot Inevitable Critical in Bloodhound's Mark...except that doesn't work. Any idea why? The skill does hit enemies.

[smoky pawn]

I have swift affliction and zenith on both

[hearty walrus]

what does this say for you at the top?

[smoky pawn]

and i'm always above 90% mana

[stray pecan]

got space for it

[unreal coyote]

How does herald of blood work? I have it equipped and it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

[stray pecan]

Did you right click the skill in the skill panel to reserve the spirit?

[unreal coyote]

Spirit?

Skill panel?

[unreal coyote]

right click doesnt do anything

[stray pecan]

rightclick the square skill symbol

[unreal coyote]

square?

[stray pecan]

then you may not have enough spirit:

[unreal coyote]

what square

What is sprit

[modern kite]

Gem level matters a lot for ED, if I were really stuck I would go get a level or two and look for items that grant ED levels (Spell, projectile, chaos) while I did that. Maybe try crafting a bit. (What I really did was buy a + chaos staff)

[unreal coyote]

It needs 30 and I have 30

[stray pecan]

then rightclick the gem's skill in the skill panel to activate the skill and reserve the spirit.

[unreal coyote]

why is it a square?

[stray pecan]

because it's the skill the gem gives you, not the gem itself

[unreal coyote]

Im confused

[hearty walrus]

skill gem itself is the circle. right click the square image above it

[unreal coyote]

What are you talkign about

Oh

i forgot to look up

that makes sense

Sorry lol

I somehow managed not to see the image there twice

[smoky pawn]

word, I'll try to look for a +2 chaos wand or something. I'm mostly playing impending doom, but the single target and flask charges required aren't sustainable for a ridiculously long single target fight

[unreal coyote]

wow this made me really strong

So my stash is full, what should I focus on selling?

Sell all blue and keep yellow?

[stray pecan]

Still trying to figure out why I can't put the Inevitable Critical support in Bloodhounds Mark. It supports skills that hit, the Mark does hit. It gives crit chance, the Mark's explosion can crit. What's stopping me from slotting it?

[stray pecan]

disenchant for now, so you can craft yourself improved gear from teh splinters/shards you get

[unreal coyote]

dechant?

[meager silo]

Anyone around the start of act 2 wanna level together? Im in Mawdun mines.

[unreal coyote]

there's crafting?

[hearty walrus]

all those currency orbs you get are crafting items

[unreal coyote]

oh

Should I just do this to all i'm not using because im low level?

[stray pecan]

There's an NPC in every town that lets you disenchant gear. Disenchant enough and you get blue or gold orbs. The blue ones let you turn a white item blue for obnuses, or add one more bonus to a blue item, and the yellow ones do similar stuff from blue to yellow. Read the tooltips.

[unreal coyote]

What tooltips?

[stray pecan]

on the stuff you're not using and aren't gonna use.

[stray pecan]

this is a tooltip:
all items have one

[modern kite]

level 9 gems should be dropping in a level 32 area. If you are not running a curse, despair might help. Dark effigy might also add some damage..

[hearty walrus]

a tooltip is the box of text that pops up when you hover over something

[stray pecan]

still trying to figure this one out, y'all

[hybrid star]

"skill that you use yourself" so I guess the mark is a skill that you use yourself, but the explosion isn't?

[stray pecan]

I guess that's an explanation -.-

sucks that I can't trust the guide lmao

[hearty walrus]

it possibly worked last league and he didn't notice the change

[stray pecan]

probably

[still nacelle]

What is the point of breeches? I just realized the only thing I get from them is splinters

[hearty walrus]

they can also drop breach rings and catalysts

[still nacelle]

Hm ok I must just be unlucky so far

[wooden lava]

you use the splinters at the realmgate #2┃after-acts-help

[calm hawk]

can someone tell me the difference between explicit and pseudo

[hearty walrus]

'pseudo' will include all relevant modifiers. so if you search for pseudo fire res, it'll include the implicit (like on a ruby ring), fire res modifier, and 'all elemental res' modifier

to give you the total fire res that the item provides

[upper pasture]

I must be awful at knowing what ppl would buy because my merchant tab is basically full for two days and not a single purchase 🤣

[wooden lava]

honestly, they should make the trade more accessible to new players, putting it in act 4 is just annoying

[hearty walrus]

keep lowering prices until someone buys

[trim turret]

Its to help prevent bots and people selling worthless junk.

[chilly geyser]

Hey all why are the stats in grey does that mean they wont be used?

[hybrid star]

that's your search

[chilly geyser]

ooh thank u

[wooden lava]

i'm guessing they also wanted to test if the in game system worked well since it's a new feature

[quiet dawn]

I started playing 4 days again and new to playing exile in general in act 3 running a blood huntress with the ritual accession will a bleed build scale well into the endgame

[unreal coyote]

Are the servers always this bad?

The game is just constant rubber banding

[orchid patrol]

do I choose stats or resistence

[unreal coyote]

I can't dodge boss attacks when they have already happened before I can see them

Im surprised i didn't die yet

[wooden lava]

stats are easier to get from the passive tree, resistance takes more work to max out

[orchid patrol]

so resist

[trim turret]

What gateway are you on? Try the next closest one, might be more stable.

[unreal coyote]

Im on my regions one

I normally don't lag in games like this

[trim turret]

Hence my suggestion.

[unreal coyote]

Im following it

Im in the one for where I am

[unreal coyote]

Hence my answer.

[trim turret]

I said try the next closest one. Did you do that?

If your region's servers are unstable, try another, even if it has higher latency.

Can also hit F1 and confirm it is a network issue.

[unreal coyote]

how do I do that?

[trim turret]

And if you aren't playing on a wired connection, you should.

Which part?

[unreal coyote]

Both

Switch servers and the network thing

[trim turret]

Gateway is chosen from the login screen. And hit F1 while you're playing and look at the graphs.

[unreal coyote]

What does that mean

The graphs and numbers

[hearty walrus]

hit f1 twice to see latency

[unreal coyote]

It spikes randomly

[trim turret]

Which one? F1 provides multiple bits of information.

Oh if you hit it twice its just server latency.

[quiet dawn]

I started playing 4 days again and new to playing exile in general in act 3 running a blood huntress with the ritual accession will a bleed build scale well into the endgame if build right

[hearty walrus]

yes

pretty much any build can do well

[oak sun]

does this mean ive allocated all I can or no? it looks like I have two unspent points for each weapon set but the plus is grey

[hearty walrus]

you need to refund 2 normal points

[unreal coyote]

both

The second one is the one spiking

Wait im an idiot

it spikes when I tab out

[slow rain]

ok how do u get into the blackwood in interlude one?

[hearty walrus]

go to the 'stones of serle' area

[worldly crow]

can i buy items from offline ppl

[quick pike]

yeah with the new trade system

[worldly crow]

how do i do that, i found the item but where do i go to buy it

[meager galleon]

you have to be in act4 to use that trade system

[worldly crow]

im in act4 rn

[meager galleon]

there should be a button on by the item in search to go to the persons hideout

[hearty walrus]

(can also use / for the in game trade search)

[storm oak]

I may have assigned the wrong ascendancy points for my first ascendancy how do I go about resigning them?

[hearty walrus]

talk to the hooded one to refund them

[storm oak]

And then I can just reapply them correct no need to do a trail again?

[hearty walrus]

yeah

[meager galleon]

you dont lose the points you already got, you just unassign them with the refund

[heavy sable]

does anyone know if weapon swap is bugged, whenever I enter a new zone my second weapon set acts as if there is no weapon but I have it locked

[cerulean zephyr]

Are you using Giant's Blood

[heavy sable]

yes

[cerulean zephyr]

Then yes that's a known bug that will be fixed soon

[heavy sable]

obnoxious

[wintry orchid]

Does anyone know if we can switch the Seven Pillars- Qimah Buffs? I picked resistance but now i dont need it anymore and would love to switch to movement speed. Thank you!

[meager galleon]

yes you can switch them

[wintry orchid]

how?

[meager galleon]

just go there and pick the one you want

[wintry orchid]

i went there and nothing is here

its empty 🙁

[meager galleon]

hmmm

i can't go check in my game atm, so someone else needs to chime in, i was under the impression you can go switch

[thin silo]

I was able to switch my pillar

[fading bone]

where is is?interlude?

[meager galleon]

yes, in qimah

[thin silo]

yes

[twin nest]

we can switch pillar at anytime yes

[wooden geyser]

Can someone tell me what happened. First time in hardcore against this guy. Did the game glitch on me?

https://youtu.be/IiwdYvFQlQU?si=Ognsx6SwcJuMqInD

[meager galleon]

its a big attack that drops 2 massive pillars, 1 on each side of the arena, you just need to stand in the middle where he is

[wooden geyser]

No watch before that

I can’t do damage to him

[quick pike]

no , you need to stay in the middle

[wooden geyser]

For like two minutes I couldn’t hit him

[meager galleon]

happens when there are scripted phases and you do enough dmg too quick and the boss just keeps doing its stuff for the next phase

[wooden geyser]

Oh that was a phase shift? And it just took forever for him to phase? Can’t kill him until then

[meager galleon]

yeah

[wooden geyser]

Fuckkkkkkkk

Rip

I went back in softcore and destroyed him. He phased right away

And I guess I was in the middle lol

[meager galleon]

i also had twice in map situation where i killed him as the pillar phase switch happend and something exploded and killed me

no clue whats going on there

[wooden geyser]

Brutal

Thank you

[meager galleon]

at least i'm not in hc, so theres that

[quick pike]

I'm close to fighting him in hcssf 🫡

[meager galleon]

gl

when he spawns a maze, run through the maze away from him

[wooden geyser]

Stay in the middle when he phases lol

Don’t hide on the side like an idiot

[quick pike]

yeah I've fought him twice before , no deaths to him so far 😄

I will just leave my minions to do dmg and I will just run

[jagged token]

do afflictions stay for current node or for the rest of trials?

[meager galleon]

the rest of the trials until you remove them

[jagged token]

🙏
and how do you remove them? 🤔

[fresh gulch]

How to reach trail of sekhaman

[quick pike]

in act 2 kill the Balbala boss and finish the next zone , open all the gates, go back to town and use the caravan to travel to the trial zone

[meager galleon]

you will run into some shrines, pledges that allow you to remove things, or remove a random thing

[calm hawk]

Thank you by the way @hearty walrus

[hearty walrus]

welcome

[ionic shore]

does anyone know what's the lowest level ultimatum for the 8th ascendancy points?

[quick pike]

75 , I just checked on trade

you would still need to clear it at least 3 times to get the fragments for tha boss fight

[ionic shore]

alrighty, thank you very much

[jagged token]

what level is is recommended for doing trail of sekh with 3 trials?

i already failed a few times 🙁

[quick pike]

60+ , you can do it later too , I did it at about 65 on my Ed contagion build, I had 14k honour , get relics with #% increased maximum Honour , #% to Honour Resistance ,or if you're life based #% increased maximum Life + one of the 2 above , check https://maxroll.gg/poe2/resources/trial-of-the-sekhemas#mechanics-header for more info

[jagged token]

I mostly failed due to honor
i have around 2k honor only so I guess thats the key to do it well

[meager galleon]

the honor is based on your hp and es

[daring dragon]

Get some relics with honor resistances

[meager galleon]

yeah, honor res is the way to go

[jagged token]

relics are tradable?

[meager galleon]

yeah, but you can also do like 1 floor runs to farm them

and you just focus on sacred water so you can buy all the relics from the shop

and open relic caches

and you can use the reforging bench to reroll 3 useless relics into 1 random one and hope its something better ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[jagged token]

that a great tip

[meager galleon]

they just have to be the same type

[heavy ivy]

where do i spend the weapon set skill points?

[daring dragon]

Select either Weapon Set 1 or Weapon Set 2 from the top of your passive skill tree, then click the "play" or "allocating points" button to spend your points into weapon-specific passive nodes.

[meager galleon]

if you are switching between weapon sets you use it as described ^

if you arent switching between weapons, you dont care, they are just normal passives

[dark talon]

What are the changes for the new campaign? Do you no longer repeat 1-3 on harder difficulty? And instead go 1-4 and straight to mapping?

Also, does the new league(?) let you access your stash from other characters?

[fervent lotus]

Can anyone confirm if the new driver update helped with performance issues?!

[lament stone]

there are 3 interlude acts to fill the gap between act 4 and the endgame

[lament stone]

no

a new league is a fresh start with fresh economy

[heavy ivy]

how often do shops reset?

[lament stone]

theres a partial reset every time you level up

[heavy ivy]

any time other than level ups?

[meager galleon]

not that i am aware

shops rarely have anything great anyway, your main loot comes from drops

[dark talon]

When does my character get access to my stash tabs then?

[lament stone]

right from the first town, but it will be empty if its your first character in a league

you cannot carry items from past leagues into a new league, thats the whole point of it being a fresh start

you will of course keep any stash tabs you bought, they will be empty

all characters in the same league will have access to the same stash

[dark talon]

I guess I’m asking how do I move my guy out of the league I guess or bring my old guys into the league so they get access to the same stash? Does that happen at a certain level or?

[lament stone]

you cant

poe isnt the kind of game where you play the same character forever

its very normal to delete standard characters to make new characters for new leagues, theres a reason standard is called a graveyard

[trim turret]

The point of a league is a fresh start with a fresh economy and fresh content.

[hardy hedge]

hello anyone know how to fix this?

[lament stone]

socket the curse gem into its own skill slot and check if its set to apply to both weapon sets

[hardy hedge]

thanks but it seems still not working my spirit doesnt go down i have enough

[lament stone]

how much spirit do you have?

because the supports multiply the spirit cost

[noble nest]

Do you need to unlock the well of souls on every new charactor?

[hybrid star]

you do

[solid zealot]

In determining dps, is the method to open skills tab and switch weapons foolproof?

Are there times where a weapon would be better even though dps is lower?

[quick pike]

best way would be to use path of building 2

[solid zealot]

Does that work on ps too?

[quick pike]

probably not it's an 3rd party tool on pc

[meager galleon]

if the dps on the skill goes up, its very likely a better weapon, but there are some edge cases where you need to understand your skills

example:
high attack speed, lower flat dmg = great for ice shot
but not great for snipe where you care more for the flat dmg, and attack speed isnt that important

since you just want 1 massive hit, you dont spam it

tooltip dps might go up for both of those skills, cos technically you can spam snipe faster with more attack speed

but thats not how you use that skill

[sinful crown]

Is it just me or are Pale Abductors incredibly dangerous?

[solid zealot]

Thanks guys!

[wide oxide]

why i cant take the buff here'

[brittle crown]

hi there, how often can you use 'Balbalas Barya' coin , infinitive times? I mean when you fail you can aquire next one and so on?

[quick pike]

so the first coin is the quest one , you can redo it if you fail or if you want you can farm relics and then exit ,redo .... , first sekhemas and chaos are quest trials , for points 5-6-7-8 you need to find them as drops or you can buy them on the market , if you fail them you need a new key

[vagrant swift]

wondering if Rondel of fragility would work with the amulet of necromancy node

Especially the skill speed

[ancient frigate]

Did they remove the haste aura on blood gulp?

[thick cedar]

guys my spirit does not seem to increase no matter what i do

?

i have 30 on armour and 30 on amulet alone and i only have 49

lmao

[vernal flower]

Hi guys I have a question I'm new and I have a rare item with six things on it but it also has the Abyssal stat so it has seven things on it. It's a pair of shoes
Last night I had a staff with six things on it and then when I went to desecrate it one of the items went away and now I have 5 mods plus the desecration line for 6 total.

I'm not understanding why some items have a limit of six but then I have two items right now a pair of shoes and a helmet that have seven.

I may post a screenshot of the item when I get home

[hearty walrus]

the limit is 6

some mods give 2 stats

which could make it look like 7 mods

[lament stone]

some mods have multiple lines of text

[vernal flower]

oh wow. ok. How do I know if it's a multi line situation?

[lament stone]

hold alt

[trim turret]

Are you a Monk Invoker?

[lament stone]

on the sides of the item box youll see "boxes" that will indicate which mod theyre part of

[vernal flower]

ohhh ok ill che k but ty!!

[lament stone]

heres an example, you see on the right side the box that indicates the mod and which tier the mod is

[vernal flower]

ok, got it. it's probably not intentionally confusing but that's not very obvious lol

[merry hamlet]

anyone willing to help with the trial of chaos for my ascendency points? i get one shot by the bird boss

mb sry

[ivory oracle]

When I kill a boss, all the loot drops on one spot and I can only see the top item. I have to pick it up to see what else got dropped any way I can solve this ?

[formal bay]

What ascendency is better for galvanic shards build tactician or witchunter ?

[trim turret]

Hit Z a couple times and see if it separates the item nameplates. I haven't heard of that happening.

[trim turret]

Hard to answer in a vacuum. Depends on your overall build.

[ivory oracle]

Alr I'll try it ty

[heavy ivy]

is amazon lightning supposed to have a really bad dmg early game?

[lament stone]

that sounds more like nameplates were disabled and theyre hovering over the physical items on the ground

[trim turret]

Amazon lightning is pretty meaningless. It depends on your weapon, your passives, which support gems you're using, all of that.

[heavy ivy]

idk but my friends on amazon with lightning spear and he has like 0 dmg early game

[lament stone]

lightning spear nerfs hurt it really hard

[heavy ivy]

thank you elon musk and mr beast for giving us 5 gazillion dollars!

[lament stone]

its still useable but with the frenzy charge part remove it lost half of its damage

as well as the number of projectiles it fires being reduced

it never was good for bossing, youre supposed to use a separate skill for that

and for that, wind serpent was nuked so im not actually sure what youd replace it with

[heavy ivy]

btw should i be using the orbs early game on early items or nah

[quick pike]

transmute,augment and maybe a regal if the 2 affixes are good

[heavy ivy]

thanks g

how do i unlock more support gem slots on my skills?

[quick pike]

with https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Jeweller's_Orb

in the first zone of act 3 , somewhere next to town there's a camp with 2 rare mobs and a rare chest , you get 1 Lesser Jeweller's Orb from there

[winter patio]

cant find the npc that needs shark find on whappaku island

[wooden lava]

if the boat's not there, she'll come back at the end of act 4

[winter patio]

sonuva

[quick pike]

go to ngakanu there's a woman there

I went after I got the shark fin

[winter patio]

oh

ye you're right

yall gotta click on her

[wooden lava]

i'll make sure to remember that

[heavy ivy]

how do i get unleash what low tier spell has it

[wooden lava]

when you're cutting the support gem, uncheck recommended gems at the bottom and if your skill supports it you'll see unleash

[heavy ivy]

bro i didnt know that was a thing i was struggling so much cuz of that ty

[quaint parrot]

need help on this, im new in the game. i'm a spear type deadeye

[upper pasture]

I'm no expert, but this means you'll probably want high crit chance. And make that spell very strong as well.

[quaint parrot]

yes sir. but i cant use the skill.

[upper pasture]

Oh

lol

Does the skill cost spirit?

[quaint parrot]

yeah 103 spirit. but i have plenty

[upper pasture]

How about your attributes? Do you need a certain amount of strength, dex, or int?

[normal drum]

Is it possible to find yellows that have 6 mods/affixes?. They all seem to have 4.

[trim turret]

What spell do you have linked to cast on crit?

[quaint parrot]

how can i do that? sorry im newbie...

[trim turret]

In the sockets next to cast on crit, what is in them?

[quaint parrot]

lightning spear

[upper pasture]

Yes of course. You can add an exalted orb to one to make it have 5 or 6.

[trim turret]

No, lightning spear is a different skill setup.

[meager galleon]

these

what are they

[trim turret]

What is in the two slots to the right of cast on crit? Do you have spell linked to it?

[normal drum]

I know, I'm asking if they can drop with 6 already on them.

[trim turret]

It can only trigger spells and they need to be linked to it by being in the sockets.

[quaint parrot]

myticism 2 and fluke

[upper pasture]

Oh, I think so, that part someone else might know better. I definitely recall it happening to me but usually later game

[trim turret]

So you have nothing to trigger with the crit.

[normal drum]

Okay ty

[trim turret]

You need a spell there.

[meager galleon]

you need to put a spell in there for the cast on crit to cast when you crit

[azure lava]

Read the cast on crit gem carefully

[quaint parrot]

can i link an active skills there?

or only support gems?

[azure lava]

You need to for it to work

[meager galleon]

you need to put an active skill there

[azure lava]

Meta gems are different than skill gems

[meager galleon]

and it has to be a spell skill

cant be an attack skill (lightning spear is attack, that wont work)

[quaint parrot]

thanks sir now working

[trim turret]

And make sure you're using something you can actually use/scale since spells scale differently from attacks.

[quaint parrot]

im on testing phase sir im days old. thanks again!

[dusk mortar]

How does something like a dualshot bow account for the 'double' arrows in dps? Does it just ignore it?

[trim turret]

DPS is usually per projectile and not every skill can hit the same target with multiple projectiles.

[waxen cove]

You can't use herald of ice with staffs 😭

[primal eagle]

As I've been completing the campaign I've been completing all the POIs.

Do things like medallion not grey out from the world map once you've completed them?

[formal bay]

where can i find emergeny reload? , i cant find it on spirit gems

[azure lava]

You can with quarterstaves, but yeah, need a martial weapon

[azure lava]

If you can't find it or a gem with a similar functionality it's likely been removed

Make sure you check "show all gems"

[trim turret]

No, because you can go back and change the buff.

[primal eagle]

Thanks!

Damn OCD hates it 🤣

[dusk mortar]

So, if i have a dualstring bow with 617 on lightning arrow, and a cultist bow with 776 I'm probably going to get more actual dps with the dualstring? Depending on if I can hit the target with multiple arrows on most shots?

[trim turret]

Depends on the skill. Pretty sure lightning arrow can't hit the same target with multiple projectiles. It will improve your clear for sure.

[dusk mortar]

Is there a way to make it use the dualshot for... some skills? and then swap to the cultist for others? Like... if I could use lightning rod with the dual shot?

Or do I just need to hotswap it.

[trim turret]

Yep, thats what weapon set/swapping is for. Can assign skills to specific weapon sets from their gem menu, and then when you use the skill it will automatically swap items and use the right one.

[clear vine]

How do i do my third ascendancy trial?

[dusk mortar]

Cool, thanks.

[quick pike]

The Trial of the Sekhemas via a Level 60+ Djinn Barya with "Number of Trials: 3" (3 floors), OR,
The Trial of Chaos via a Level 75+ Inscribed Ultimatum with "Number of Trials: 10" (10 Rounds)

[dusk mortar]

3 floors means you have to go through that terrible map three times right?

[quick pike]

first floor is not that bad , other 2 yeah and they are even bigger

[dusk mortar]

Well that sounds hideous.

[unborn vapor]

im alr lv67, still cant find 3rd ascendancy where tf do i get the shit for it

[trim turret]

Relics make it much easier.

[wooden lava]

you can always trade for a barya

[azure lava]

Once you beat the second floor and unlock more relic slots and relics in general, sekhema trials get wayyyyy easier

[unborn vapor]

so i just need a barya that's lv60+?

[azure lava]

And shows 3 floors

Which they should all have at ilvl 60-74, but I'm not 100% certain

[dusk mortar]

I was doing a monk this league... it was brutal.

[azure lava]

Which floor(s)? Did you have capped honor res?

[wooden lava]

wait until you get to the 4th boss, he has a mechanic that one shots you if you're too slow

[dusk mortar]

Nah, I died to the boss on floor 2 like... 4 times straight

[azure lava]

Did you die from hp loss or honor loss?

[dusk mortar]

Honor

The aoe slams on the twin bosses were just massive and I had to be in melee to hurt them so...

[azure lava]

What was your honor resistance?

[dusk mortar]

Uh... probably something like... 20-30?

I'd have to check the relics

[azure lava]

Yeah that'll do it

Also sounds like you had some afflictions

[unborn vapor]

bruh lv65 djinn barya trading at 5 exalts

[dusk mortar]

Higher level ones are cheaper.

[tranquil comet]

whats your ign i can give you one

free

[dusk mortar]

Like... 67-68 are one exalt

[unborn vapor]

o pog

uhh

[tranquil comet]

cant inv you for some reason, inv me. FiftyShadesOfArrow_

[dusk mortar]

Probably, not sure how you're supposed to get through two floors without one or two. I rerolled a deadeye anyway... going much easier now.

[unborn vapor]

tyvm!

[tranquil comet]

no worries, goodluck

[dusk mortar]

How do you know if a beast has a 'haste aura'?

[lament stone]

it has haste aura as a mod under its life bar when youre targeting it

[tranquil comet]

you can see their hp and "buffs" if you hover over them, itll be under their life bar

[wooden lava]

is there a list somewhere of beasts?

[dusk mortar]

Okay, and are all beasts basically the same with different... skins (aside from their buffs) or are there some that are better than others?

[tranquil comet]

no clue sorry

[lament stone]

they can have very different stats to other beasts

if youre only after the aura go for a beast with the aura, trying to find the perfect beast with the perfect mods will take way too long

[twin lance]

I dropped an Astramentis Stellar Amulet and thought i became rich, then i checked the trade site and the price of a similar amulet are between 6 an 7 divines. I remember in the past it would sell for about 120divs+. There is also another item that i don't understand the pricing, wich is the HeadHunter Belt. It was cheap before and now the cheapest is selling for about 60 divs. What happened that changed the prices so much?

[dusk mortar]

League start.

Not many people have that many divines, so prices cap out early. Other items that are used commonly in builds have high demand but low availablity so the prices change as the league extends.

[lament stone]

things change

[merry hamlet]

is the heart used in the next area? i know the event im looking for but not exactly where it was

[lament stone]

but also astramentis drop rate was bugged last league

[wooden lava]

depends what build are popular; in 0.1 it was attribute stacking so everyone wanted astramentis

[lament stone]

it was extremely rare, like 1 astramentis in 45k divines

[dusk mortar]

It's used in the temple place...

[lament stone]

attribute stacking isnt as popular this league as it used to be

[merry hamlet]

yeah aggorat right

[wooden lava]

the part with all the sacrifices

[mossy kernel]

Hello, I hope you are well. I would like to know how to access all the personas in the game. Thank you. *

I currently only have access to 7 personas. *

[dusk mortar]

Do you mean classes? There are only so many available currently as the game is still in Early Access.

[quick pike]

only 7 classes for now , Druid was supposed to be in this update but they had some problems and it will be next league in December , Persona games are so good ❤️

[mossy kernel]

Thank you very much for your reply. I'm new to the game with the mercenary class. 😻

[merry hamlet]

anyone know what a divine is worth in exalted right now?

[wooden lava]

~146, check the currency exchange

[merry hamlet]

holy crap i just found a 5 divine+ item then

550 3 requests in 30 seconds like i feel i should be charging more

[slender island]

is there anybody with knowledge on the game tryna help me decide on a build im a new player and lightning spear amazon seemed underwhelming maybe because of how badly it got gutted

[tranquil comet]

every build will be "good enough" if you throw enough divines and time at it, but right now lightning arrow is "meta" but prices for the good gear will be stupid high because everyone is playing it.

[wooden lava]

i'm doing whirling slash deadeye and it's good so far (act 2)

you need the boots that do shocking ground

[quick pike]

I'm loving ED contagion and infernalist summoner , I have each of them in softcore trade and I'm playing infernalist summoner in hcssf just finished act 4

check https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds too

[wooden lava]

summoner is a lot of fun when you get frozen mandibles or powered zealots

[quick pike]

yeah I've been using Vaal guards -100 fps , I'm going for powered zealots right now

[merry hamlet]

i noticed i have the reforging thing now, aside from maps is there anything i should be saving to use in this?

[wooden lava]

you can reforge jewels as well as some relics

[azure lava]

Runes can also be reforged

Very helpful imo

[merry hamlet]

someone here said a divine costs 142 exalted so why is my ad below (Or showing more expensive) than 5 divine ads? 5x142 is 710

[azure lava]

Prices fluctuate regularly. Check the prices on the currency exchange for the latest

[merry hamlet]

where is the exchange? on release i think i remember it being in clearfell

[wooden lava]

talk to ange

if you made it to act 4

[merry hamlet]

yeah nope, that's a terrible change

[azure lava]

Currency exchange is available from Alva in act 3 I thought

Unless they pushed it back

[merry hamlet]

well i can't check, my alva is currently kidnapped so

[azure lava]

Rip

I would check if another npc took over that role in her absence

[quick pike]

they moved the currency exchange to ange too

[wooden lava]

you can always use the bulk trade on the trade site

to see the price

[lament stone]

it used to be cruel acts onwards, now its act 4

[final geyser]

Technically, Cruel Act 1 was equivalent to current Act 4, so there wasn't even much of a change.

[ivory oracle]

I have a chimeral inscribed ultimatum but it doesn't allow me to put it in the altar

I also can't put it in my stash ...

[hearty walrus]

which area are you in?

[merry hamlet]

anyone know how to reclaim just the selected item in a hideout? i've placed 20 of these and pressing "Reclaim" takes back the frist one you placed for some reaosn

[ivory oracle]

Im act 3

I think I found it in chimeral wetlands

Oow wait I think I know what I'm doing wrong here

This needs to go in the temple of chaos prob

[final geyser]

Select it and press 'Del' on the keyboard. Backspace might also work, there should be something you can hover over that will list most relevant keybinds.

[final geyser]

Correct.

[vale pine]

is there another method to gain additional skill slots outside of unset rings and gemling?

[dapper granite]

Can someone confirm if the beasts in act 4 are just not tameable ?

[wooden lava]

they aren't

can't be spectred either

[pseudo wave]

Correct

[iron cargo]

How often is a new tier of equipment available? Im lvl17 using a long quarterstaff atm

[wooden lava]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Quarterstaves#QuarterstavesItem

16

[iron cargo]

Oh! Im using a much lower item then?

[wooden lava]

yours is level 4

[iron cargo]

Mad, I keep looking in the merchant, there's a gothic one, the 2 damage numbers together is less then the damage numbers on my lvl4 one

[wooden lava]

keep your better one in that case, it probably has better modifiers

[iron cargo]

Fair enough! I shall keep an eye open for bigger numbers tho, how much difference does a '+2 to all melee skills' make?

[wooden lava]

not sure about melee, i know for spellcasters it's a huge difference

[iron cargo]

I think my lvl 4 one is a bit of a banger then 🤔

[wooden lava]

you can always compare the dps on the gem window for a rough idea of the difference it would make

[iron cargo]

Awesome stuff, I shall try that when I find something with more damage numbers 😃 thx!

[solemn sparrow]

i have a question: if i have a 5 link gem with 20% quality. can i vaal orb it to get a 6th link for an extra support gem? what are the odds?

[tranquil comet]

about 0% chance

to clarify, you can get no more than 5, you can get more/less quality, you can get more/less level (eg -1 lvl or +1 lvl), can do nothing. Might even remove a gem slot...

[solemn sparrow]

hmm so i have waste already 5 of my skill gems for extra 6h socket XD

what are the odds to get an extra level?

[tranquil comet]

i think 1 in 8 (or 1 in 6)

[molten sand]

Is there a better usage for Vaal orbs than skill gems?

[tranquil comet]

gambling on gear, trying to get "bigger" stats or more sockets, it is a big gamble and can brick items so dont start spamming them on gear

[molten sand]

Is that recommended before getting 4/5th slot for skill gems?

[tranquil comet]

in my opinion, vaal'ing gear like weapons/armor etc should be LAST thing, when youre at super end game and want to min max or are confortable gambling on a piece of equipment knowing full well you might just turn it into poop

[molten sand]

Also, if I Vaal a skill gem, can I still upgrade the level? Like going from level 13 to 20?

[snow wave]

what level inscribed ultimatum would be 3rd and 4th ascendancy respectively?

[tranquil comet]

erm, i believe you can but dont quote me on this. i can check for you in 5 mins if you still want to know

in fact im curious ill go check now

[molten sand]

Yeah sure, thanks. 🙂

[tranquil comet]

yes you can still upgrade it using higher tier gems after vaal orbing it.

[molten sand]

Ah alright, thanks for the help. 🙂

[tranquil comet]

for ultimatum i know 4th needs to 3 keys to fight the trialmaster at the end, but 3rd im not 100% on

[tranquil comet]

if you still need 3rd in like 5-10 mins i can get yours done

[hearty walrus]

3rd is just doing 10 rooms

[echo rivet]

Is there a tool or something thatlet me know the price of my wares? Like compare it to market price or sth

[tranquil comet]

@snow waveim at boss if you want to just hop on and get 3rd rq

[echo rivet]

Comparing every product and listing is annoying

[tranquil comet]

poe overlay is what i use

[echo rivet]

How to

[tranquil comet]

its an overlay just google it

[snow wave]

thanks for the offer but I think my game's exploding

[next venture]

Hello there, so i got a new weapon for me but when i wanne swap into my new weapon all my skills are gone ? what im doing worng ? i also cant pick anye

[trim turret]

Is it the same type of weapon?

#2┃looking-for-group

[next venture]

#2┃after-acts-help message yes sire

[ember mica]

What does it say when you hover over your skill in the skill menu? Maybe the 13 dex from the corrupted weapon was the threshold for a bunch of your skills

[next venture]

if im going over the new weapon it does not give me anye red symbols i cant use it

ahh hold up i see something

yes i see it im need 1 dex xD

[mighty knot]

noob question, got a divine orb, should I maybe convert it to exalts or keep it as it is? (value wise)

[hearty walrus]

i'd say convert it and buy some decent gear once you reach end game

[mighty knot]

will it go up or down in value till I reach endgame? 😛

should I convert now I mean

[hearty walrus]

no idea. it's a player driven economy

[mighty knot]

kk ty for info!

[limpid quartz]

If I die JUST after the boss dies, and I am respawned, do I lose all the loot drops? No way to rerun the quest?

Unsure if I lost anything important, like a skillbook.

[hearty walrus]

the boss' death animation will play again when you go into the room and quest items will drop

[limpid quartz]

It didnt, it was the old lady that turns on the isle.

Respawned and all was gone, wasnt a room.

[hearty walrus]

which location?

[limpid quartz]

The island in forth act

where the old lady in the pillars

Something Key

[topaz junco]

#2┃looking-for-group

[limpid quartz]

Sorry, it was on Kedge Bay

[hearty walrus]

didn't get Virisium from the boss there?

[limpid quartz]

I took the spikes there, and fought her

[hearty walrus]

you don't fight her iirc

but you will see him again

[limpid quartz]

But did he drop anything I needed, or was important like a skill book?

There was a huge pile of loot, I raised my hands to rejoice, didnt notice I was losing health, and lost it all

[red wing]

When i unlock the market?

[hearty walrus]

instant buyout is unlocked in act 4 when you get your hideout

you can trade otherwise before then

[red wing]

On poe2 trader official website?

[echo rivet]

+4 proj skills vs 1 extra bow arrow.

Which stat should I look for if price is same

Anyone?

[hearty walrus]

yes

[iron minnow]

i bought the infinite curse duration in the lich acendancy passives, but when i cast curses, they dont last for infinite

why

[red wing]

Bc nothing is infinite brother

This is life

[iron minnow]

♾️

[red wing]

[iron minnow]

i believe

in infinite duration

[hearty walrus]

how many curses are you trying to apply?

[iron minnow]

1

despair

cast it, and 6 seconds later its gone

[thorn tiger]

Hey is there any good strategy to level up quickly in the campaign ? I'm lv 48 and wanna unlock the mount minion at lv 58 but it's very long and i'm wondering if theres ways to accelerate xp gains before mapping. Thanks.

[iron minnow]

fixed it, took out the gem and inserted it back in

now it is infinite

🙂

too bad curses from minions are not inifnite

🙁

[hearty walrus]

keep progressing and try to stay like 5 levels below the area

[thorn tiger]

is there no item or idk whatever thing that gives xp boosts ?

[hearty walrus]

nope. nothing

[thorn tiger]

Allright thanks you

[dark talon]

Can someone help me understand how seasons work. So this new char can’t access the stash tab if my previous character? Is there a way to bring my new guy over to the “old” season so I can access the tabs somehow?

Also how does the new campaign changes work for existing characters? Can my old characters that I did mapping with play act 4 and the interlude acts?

[hearty walrus]

new leagues are fresh starts for everyone. you can't bring old stuff into a new league

you can't access your stash in other leagues

standard gets the exact same updates at the same time as teh new league

so your old characters can do the new act 4 and interlude (idk if they need to do it now or not tho since they're in maps)

[dark talon]

And is there a way to go from the new league back to standard? If I don’t like the league or want access to my tabs?

Also do the characters in the new league get the stash tabs I’ve paid real money for?

[hearty walrus]

stash tabs you buy are in every league now and future

and in poe1

[hearty walrus]

you can only go from hardcore to standard through death. or from ssf to non-ssf on character select screen

[dark talon]

But never from a leave to a non league? Your character is locked there?

[hearty walrus]

yes

[dark talon]

What class has the least FPS drop in end game. Electric mage or witchhunter is incredibly taxing on my potato computer.

[thorn tiger]

Is there any way to go in higher level zones ? Bc campaign is always around same level as mine so i cannot be 5 below forever

[hearty walrus]

oh. i think the campaign areas scale to your level to an extent

[dark talon]

Also is it true that the witch has an ascendcy that’s tied to the season?

There is lich and abyssal lich

[hearty walrus]

yes

[noble yoke]

i went into well of souls and lost like 10 dex is that a feature?? i didnt read the dialog lol

[wooden lava]

if the item you're desecrating has 6 mods, you'll lose one of them... probably you had dex on it

[noble yoke]

ahh ffs

ty

turns out my quiver had the dex boost on and because i took my bow off that caused it lol

[dark talon]

Is there a build or class that’s lenient and not as taxing on computer?

[waxen walrus]

thorn

no cap

[red wing]

What the thing when the mobs like cancel your attack? How i can stop that?

Like they push me and i cant attack for 1sec

[wooden lava]

stone charm

[weary osprey]

there's 2 different types of stuns, light and heavy

[wooden lava]

i often get stunned and my stone charm still has max charges, so i don't really understand how it works or if it's something else stopping me from acting

[weary osprey]

it prevents new stuns for its duration but the first one still applies on your character

[muted kite]

why is merchant stash tab not discounted?

[misty tiger]

how much would it cost to refund your skill tree at level 20?

[hearty walrus]

right is cost per point

[thorn tiger]

Is it normal not all stash tabs have discount ? And if yes should i wait for future discounts ?

[waxen walrus]

that isnt discount price

that normal price

[ember mica]

typically all stash tabs go on sale during a tab sale weekend. The merchant tab, for whatever reason, isn't on sale this time around. But it will in future tab sales

[waxen walrus]

they forgot to add it to the rotating discount list

[ember mica]

So you can get a discounted one in about 3 weeks if you want to wait for a discounted merchant tab

It was intentional apparently

[thorn tiger]

Yeah guess i'l buy it rn then if it's only 10 more points

How do I know which tab is a merchant's tab ? I just bought one and i have no idea where to see it

[hearty walrus]

at ange

in your hideout

[thorn tiger]

Ah in hideout ok

[wraith zenith]

hey, i want good Leveling build for Witch

[tired nova]

i just got a book for 2 atlas passive skill points from zolin and i cant put them on any idea why?

[wooden lava]

check the surrounding trees for points

he gives breach tree points

[hard blade]

What dose the elemental remenat look like im trying to take advantage of one of the blood mages nodes

Looking for anything that converts phys to ele

[azure lava]

cast a frost bomb or orb of storms to see what the cold/lightning remnants look like

[hard blade]

K

Im just theory crafting with a physical bleed minion blood mage

[azure lava]

they look like little floaty diamonds

I've read your messages and seen the gem you hovered over in the screenshot. Individually, I comprehend all of it, but put together I have no idea what you're trying to do

what is the "one of the blood mages nodes" you're referring to?

ele damage contributes to bleed magnitude?

[hard blade]

Yes

[azure lava]

so what are the infusions for?

[hard blade]

Do they convert some of the elemental damage to said elemental fusion?

[azure lava]

no

infusions are expended to boost the power of specific elemental spells

spark, fireball, ice nova, firestorm, and comet to name a few

they do nothing on their own

by default, at least

[hard blade]

Oh so its not worth it so I should probably get like ice or fire nodes that dose the job of converting some physical to those element

[azure lava]

I don't know of any nodes that convert physical to elemental

[hard blade]

Rune sockets do

[azure lava]

but if you're using physical spells, why do you want to convert it to elemental? It's going to add to bleed magnitude all the same

If your tree has any modifiers to physical damage, you're going to lose all that value when you convert your phys to elemental

[hard blade]

K so no elemental conversion would hearld of blood work?

[azure lava]

%inc damage mods only work on the final product.
Eg, if you have 50% inc phys damage and 100 base damage, you do 150 phys damage.
If you convert 50% of that phys to fire, you'd only do 75 phys and 50 fire for 125 damage total

[azure lava]

herald of blood requires a martial weapon to be equipped

wands and scepters are not martial weapons

[sleek fjord]

is the hp perma buff in act 1 on the first part of the manor? or second

[azure lava]

it's one floor down from where you enter from the ramparts
