[dire solar]

so is it like having diff weapon sets for diff builds or something i am just confused as to how it all works and why i would use it

[true crown]

it's there to overcomplicate things

no one uses it but a couple elitists

[hearty walrus]

it is used

[true crown]

by a couple elitists

[hearty walrus]

a lot more than that

[true crown]

fifteen?

[hearty walrus]

anyway

[true crown]

conservative estimate

[dire solar]

its my first time playing and a build guide says that im gonna put some items in second slot so i just wanna know how it works since ill need it

[near jolt]

what if you are priced out of it

[south sparrow]

Say you wanted to use a skill that needed a different weapon than your main one. You could put it in set 2

[true crown]

find something cheaper?

[trim turret]

You get points you can spend on both weapon sets and assign skills to specific weapon sets so that when you use a skill you automatically swap weapons and some passives.

[dire solar]

ah ok thanks but for my level its prob best to just use that staff and not think abt it for now? seems pretty good

[plain dune]

guys i bought merchant tab on poe1 but it didnt migrate on poe2 what can i do

[dire solar]

i see

im sure ill understand more as i play but thank you for filling me in

[trim turret]

Look for items with life and resistances, gamble for items from the vendors, buy white bases from vendors and craft on them, check vendors for blue items that already have decent mods and try to add on to them, etc.

[true crown]

gamble

[trim turret]

It should have. Have you reached act 4.

[true crown]

1 year of poe2 and the progression is still one big gamble unless you're trading

😹

[near jolt]

its pain. I have been hit low rolls and nothing great

[trim turret]

So a few leagues back I did a staff for one set and crossbow for the other and swapped between freezing and blasting enemies.

[south sparrow]

This is your friend: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Fate of the Vaal

[plain dune]

yep i just check microtranaction shop its not saying "already owned"

[true crown]

How do you scale both reasonably?

[trim turret]

If you're just gonna rant hit #2┃general this is a questions channel.

[true crown]

that sounds like it'll work in campaign

[true crown]

i'm new

[trim turret]

Yet my statement stands.

[dire solar]

and it does that automatically when you use certain abilities?

what level do i start getting points for weapons

[trim turret]

Yep. In the skill menu you can assign skills to specific sets. First set of points is from the crowbell in act 1. The skill books give weapon set points.

[trim turret]

Probably because you can buy multiple. You unlocked Ange/the currency exchange?

[plain dune]

yep

im on act4 rn

and can access the currency exchange

[trim turret]

If you're sure you bought it on the same account/platform submit a ticket to support then. Nothing we can do for you.

[plain dune]

okay tysm

[dire solar]

off topic but is it a bug that my map keeps resetting

[trim turret]

Which map? Like an entire zone or your minimal?

Minimap*?

[dire solar]

entire zone

checkpoints etc

when minimap and when i press tab

[rose burrow]

if yo uleave a zone for more than 15 minutes it resets

[trim turret]

Not a bug if you leave a zone for more than a certain amount of time it resets.

[dire solar]

ohhh interesting

whys that?

[rose burrow]

always been that way

jsut a function of the game to force yo uto finish and not leave isntances of the game open

[trim turret]

So people can farm if they want, to not leave instances open to hammer the servers, stuff like that. And if you're leaving long and often enough it means you're going back to town too much.

[wild bone]

Which venom do you take for a bear druid?

Stun or elemental ailment threshold

[trim turret]

Whichever one you want. Its not a huge choice. Couple passive points worth.

[olive lily]

are the movement modifiers super rare? I don't think I've run into boot with movement speed modifiers

[rose burrow]

uncommon

[olive lily]

I don't know why I don't get those. even the vendor that gives me random items it doesn't show up

any warrors here? For the support skills I should be investing in some INT and DEX right?

Otherwise, I don't think they activate

[flint plume]

You should be investing in whatever you need for the skills and gems you're using. You can respec the stat nodes relatively easily if you need to change it

[subtle arch]

Hmm, Overreach or Magnified Area for Herald of Blood?
Is there a downside to running HoB with Overreach? Does the accuracy penalty matter?

[marble jetty]

Why the Fire Breath ability doesnt use my rage? How can i keep it going longer?

[flint plume]

Are you holding the button down?

[marble jetty]

yes, but i cant move around i searched and it looks like a bug as i cant click anywhere to move

[brave dagger]

is "increased effect of withered" and "withered magnitude" the same thing now?

[pulsar dune]

so dumb question but where does the base damage for spells come from? Like for melee the wepon has a dps but I don't think that's a thing for wands and etc, so what can I upgrade for damage

[hearty walrus]

the gem itself

[pulsar dune]

oh... Well... Then the only way is to increase the % spell damage on gear I guess

[thin panther]

Im getting a notification or alert on skills tab when changing weapons weapon set, i tried removing all skills and even changed to 1 weapon set.

I dont know what the alert is, can someone please help me?

It looks like this.

[hearty walrus]

spell damage, phys/ele/chaos damage, gem levels, crit, etc.

[hard blade]

Is the area up top un reachable?

With druid? I know it has to do with a leap skill

[south sparrow]

You can probably Pounce

[compact juniper]

sometimes maps are bugged, dont worry about it. if anything is there that you actually need you can either re instance the map to get a new layout so you can reach or I guess you can also use a skill, blink should also work if you have an additional spirit gem

in theory you should be able to reach every part of the map

[heavy pendant]

question, is there a way I can see my total crit change? I can't see it on the character menu

[compact juniper]

you open the skill you want to see it for by clicking the arrow, should be there

[upper cobalt]

how do i list stuff to sell in my stash so that they js travel to my hideout instead of me having to do it manually?

[heavy pendant]

thanks, is it worth building crit chance in this game?

[compact juniper]

you have to own merchant tabs and then you sell it with Ange

[hearty walrus]

yes, but it depends on the build

[compact juniper]

personally I go into crit in the really late game as flat damage is cheaper for the start

but yeah build dependant

[hard blade]

How do people manage to brick there temple?

After defeating the boss will it reset the temple?

[halcyon fractal]

Hey, I’m on act four playing an ice werewolf haven’t had any problems to this point, but I’m currently getting one shot constantly anyone on psn willing to help ?

[compact juniper]

I think the main issue is that you can brick the temple, like if you are speeding through the game you dont pay tooo much attention, you just click fast and tadaaaa you can never access the final room because you placed something infront that blocks it

[trim turret]

How are your life and resistances and what other defensive layers do you have besides them?

[brazen axle]

DUDE

IS THIS NOT JUST BRICKED?

NO PATH TILES

[hard blade]

Bruh

[trim turret]

That's pretty awful for act 4. No way you should have negative resistances and you should be aiming to have the three elemental resists capped. That also doesn't seem like a ton of life.

Have you gotten all the permanent quest rewards that improve your resists?

Are you putting runes in your gear?

[halcyon fractal]

Well, I’m currently in the process of moving to the next gear tier . So no

I have a note that would give me a bunch of elementary assistances and my passive Tree. I was thinking about taking that but my damage isn’t amazing either the game is not dropping me a better weapon currently.

[trim turret]

The next gear tier? You want anything with more life and resistances than what you have right now. Not sure what you mean by tier.

What node are you talking about on the passive tree?

[halcyon fractal]

@trim turret it’s right under primal hunger at the end of it, you get a node called adaptive skin

[flint plume]

You can get some resists from the tree but generally most of your life and resists come from gear. Usually they should be some of your highest priorities on gear

[halcyon fractal]

Ok well I guess most of my gear is trash then lol rip

[trim turret]

Adaptive skin is for your MAX resists. Useless if you can't actually hit the max. There is no tree solution to those resists. You need to prioritize life and resists on your gear, you need to be using artificers orbs and runes to help.

[brazen axle]

Is there a way to see weapon sets on POE ninja, like which skill is where or no?

[trim turret]

Not sure but are any of the nodes/paths a different color from the others? That's usually the indicator.

[brazen axle]

you can see skill tree weapon sets im pretty sure just not the skll gem weapon sets

[heavy pendant]

question, anyone know why my character is bouncing around like this every now and then? its kind of annoying

[halcyon fractal]

@trim turret hey man I appreciate it. I’ll start working on that.

[trim turret]

Either a collision or a network issue. Can hit F1 and look for network spikes.

[brazen axle]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal/character/Sea_Biscuit-4994/Biscuitstrasza?i=3&search=class%3DAmazon%26skills%3DOil%2BBarrage%26sort%3Dehp

Like this for example, what would even be on the 2nd weapon set? For spirit gems, Siphoning strike is the only attack skill for generating power charges VIA shock, but idk about which spirit gems are being used on the 2nd slot

[true radish]

hi, how do i complete this? it doesn't greyed out yet

[trim turret]

I'm on mobile at the moment so it's hard for me to tell.

[brazen axle]

I think its mainly savage fury looking at it, apparently you can benefit from it while shapeshifted on a 2nd weapon set

[heavy pendant]

looks like its just a collision issue since my network stayed consistent during another instance of the bug

[tacit elk]

It says The royal acces chamber must be visited before you can unlock this door Does this mean i need to come back another time to after 5 more maps to fight the queen

[south sparrow]

For the wisp quest in Kriar Village, I let the three wisps infect the boss before I killed her, but it's still showing a question mark on the map?

[daring plank]

hello, why i cant use my skill?

[warm glacier]

Is there a trick to finding the three notable locations in the enormous Khari Crossing location in the second Interlude?

[hybrid plinth]

how does armour being applied to an element stack with elemental res?

[olive lily]

Is Vaal Ruins for improving your gear?

[trim turret]

Go to the skill and only enable it for the weapon set that has a compatible weapon equipped.

[trim turret]

The league mechanic?

[olive lily]

no, where you create a path, and then explore

[trim turret]

Yes, that's the league mechanic.

[olive lily]

There's enemy smiths in there you kill to improve your gear right

[trim turret]

Different rooms provide different rewards and crafting benches. But I wouldn't say its role is to improve your gear more than anything else. An exalted workbench does the same thing as an actual exalted orb.

[cloud sage]

guys i searched whole map and there is no dread crab on island

[olive lily]

why is it there in the levels after you light up all the crystal?

[warm glacier]

Tehre should be an icon on the minimap where he spawns. Explore the walls there -- I think he jumps out of a cliff when you're close.

[trim turret]

On whakapanu?

[trim turret]

What?

[olive lily]

the entance to Vaal Ruins, why does it open up? for what purpose?

[warm glacier]

Entry.

[trim turret]

You asking the lore reason or the gameplay reason?

[olive lily]

gameplay reason

I don't understand why it's there

[trim turret]

Because its an easy way to enter your temple once you've done enough of the encounters in zones to be able to add more rooms.

[warm glacier]

You can think of it as side content to the main story. It's a league mechanic, which means it's new to this "season" of the game, and parts or all of it may continue into future seasons.

[olive lily]

I have a temple?

why do I have a temple, and what is it for?

[cloud sage]

guys how i get other asendancy points i have 4 of them only?

[trim turret]

To run for extra loot in a loot oriented game? It adds new crafting options (later). It is a rebuild of a popular POE1 mechanic. It is tied to a specific faction on the lore. Not sure what answer you're looking for.

[trim turret]

Higher level trial invites.

[cloud sage]

how i get these

[trim turret]

They just drop randomly.

[cloud sage]

can i buy em?

i see people in chat selling some ascendancy points how that works

[trim turret]

I think they're trade-able yeah but the higher level ones are zone levels like 65+ so if you aren't handling those kind of monsters now it will be tough.

They're selling a carry through the trial.

[cloud sage]

and i get points like that?

[trim turret]

If you do it correctly. Though depending on where you are it isn't really necessary to have all 8 points.

[polar flicker]

Can somebody help me with Geonor

[flint plume]

#2┃looking-for-group

[floral garden]

help boss is buged after killing the boss i also got killed, i cant progress to the forge

[cloud sage]

do i need any level req?

if someone carries

[hybrid star]

no

[wild forge]

is benedictus a mandatory fight to continue campaign? this fight just sucks ass

[south sparrow]

It's a good one. Just keep trying. You'll feel great when you beat it.

[wild forge]

so this means its mandatory im assuming

great looks like my league ends here im not doing this

[glad aurora]

if you really don't want to then it's time for carry service

[hearty walrus]

or fix build

[wraith tangle]

Guys, questions about charms. So I have one that gives +25% to lightining resistance when I am hit with lightning damage. Im currently at 71% Lightning resistance, does that mean ill only get 4% of the charm? or does the charms effect further reduce the post resistance reduced damage amount?

[flint plume]

Right, you'll only get 4% from the charm, it does not let you go above the cap

[wraith tangle]

ah okay, thank you

[nova root]

so i have some questions about maps. i want the canal hideout. sources on google and stuff are telling me to run the ancient bazaar map until i get it because it doesnt show up in the map. how the hell do hideouts work in poe2? do i have to locate them like poe1? find them on the maps or do i see them on the map before going in?

[flint plume]

That's a question for #2┃after-acts-help. The maps on the Atlas that unlock hideouts will have a hideout symbol on them

[nova root]

ok thanks ill ask my follow up questions there.

[brazen axle]

dude what is with wyvern and devour getting you stuck inside shit

[olive lily]

I'm not sure why I have two charm slots, but the belt says I have only one

[hearty walrus]

a side quest in act 2 gave you one

[candid wadi]

If I leave the Area in the Vaal Temple, because I need to use my stash, do I lose the zone?

[hearty walrus]

no

[alpine marlin]

Can anyone help me with this? I bought an item from the market for a poison arrow build, but for some reason my boots are unavailable. I spent a long time studying, but I still don't understand. Please help me.

[hybrid star]

is that standard?

oh you are

they changed the socketables you can only have 1 of the rune in that boots, replace one with something else

[alpine marlin]

How do I do this?

[alpine marlin]

Yes, I just decided to test the build.

[hybrid star]

replace a rune in your boots with some other rune

[alpine marlin]

So, just drag the rune? I just can't do it that way. Do I have to do it on a table somewhere?

[copper spindle]

How are the 3 specs of the warrior? is there a tldr of how they are different?

Is one stronger than the rest or one weaker?

i have to pick soon

[whole silo]

You gotta use a new socketable and slot it in over the one you want to replace. You can't just remove it.

[alpine marlin]

oh, thx u

[tranquil tulip]

is anyone able to help me take down tavakai in campaign?

[hearty walrus]

#2┃looking-for-group

[hybrid star]

it's hard to say which is straight up better, they are specialized, also you can change your ascendancy later

[feral stratus]

Other than gemling and unset rings, what are other little investment options to get more skill slots?

[feral stratus]

Sorry late reply, but in general it's titan for versatility and slams, Smith for tankiness and fire damage, warbringer for totems/armor break/blocking/war cries

But all of them have really good defense options, so just go for what you think looks funner or easier to build

The only clear con I can think of is that it's pretty hard to get the strength requirement for giant's blood with warbringer, but this was patches ago so maybe it's changed

[scarlet frigate]

I just picked up an "Ultimatum Key" in Utzaal but it doesn't make any noise or show up in my stash, is this normal?

I also died and respawned and the key was there again

[hybrid star]

the ultimatum key in Utzaal is kinda useless tho

[scarlet frigate]

Yeah but what is it

[hybrid star]

it's the same key you can drop randomly from killing monsters, that one is not high enough level to get your next ascendancy points, if you already completed the Chimera one

[flint plume]

Single use key to do an ultimatum run. It'll be a bit higher level than the quest one to get ascendancy points but not high enough level to get more ascendancy points. So all it'll give us some loot

[scarlet frigate]

Thanks

[flint plume]

It should show up in your stash, though, it's a normal item

[scarlet frigate]

Yeah I grabbed it and it vanished, oh well

[languid sundial]

kabala clan relic disappeared from my inventory between sessions, now I can't get it to drop, cleared Keth twice and nothing. any tips?

[wild bone]

If I upgrade a gem from like skill gem 7 to 8, does it retain its quality or resets

[true radish]

hi, why is this one not greyed out? i already search the whole map it

[hearty walrus]

keeps it

[wild bone]

ty

[gloomy silo]

So my quest is
Use the desert map to return to the sandstorm at the halani gates but I have the horn and im there and nothing is happening?

[hearty walrus]

go to the front of the caravan

[gloomy silo]

Ok?

Ive already used the desert map to go through the areas to the sandstorm

[hearty walrus]

what is your quest telling you to do?

[gloomy silo]

Use the desert table to return to the sandstorm at the helani gates

[hearty walrus]

there's an area to right of asala

[gloomy silo]

The stairs the where I came out of?

[hearty walrus]

at the gate, this is where you blow the horn

[gloomy silo]

Right but I have no options there either

[hearty walrus]

hm. try sending the caravan to a different area, then back

[void spindle]

Anyone know the best place to find a uncut level 8 spirit gem?

[hearty walrus]

currency exchange. or farm areas that are level 27+

i thinkk azak bog gives a level 9 one

[void spindle]

Ok im too poor to buy one lol and ive been running dreadnaught for an hour and I haven't had one drop yet guess I'll just keep at it

[gloomy silo]

So I've tried that and even restarting my pc im genuinely at a lost and dont understand what to do lmao

[nimble flower]

currupting blood is different from bleed correct?

[brazen axle]

is this item not insane for campaign? I never see anyone talking about it but it looks very good no?

am I missing something

[quick pike]

you want a chest piece with life and resistance , I would not use that

[dim junco]

can someone help me? i respecd my passive tree and now i cant use HoA even tho i have the stats requirements?

it says "Not usable with current Weapon Set settings"

[quick pike]

press g then check HoA press > and check the weapons selected

[strong nacelle]

I'm doing a blood mage shape shifter build and am curious, should I be running evasion/energy shield or armour/energy shield?

[quick pike]

zizaran was talking in his video , he has a lot of armour es on druid and still feels bad , he has 10k armour and a lot of nodes on the tree , armour is still super bad , es i really good

[brazen axle]

your right thats what its missing

i knew it was something LOL

[brazen axle]

bro i feel like its been like this since release

ES is so strong

[quick pike]

I'm playing ssf and at lvl 70 I have 5k es , I did get lucky 😄

[mild seal]

are charm slots really hardcapped at 3 ?

[sage phoenix]

Do I put armor break support on fast but weak hitting skill, or slow but hard hitting one?

[quick pike]

supports Skills that Hit Enemies, causing those Hits to Break Armour based on a portion of Physical Damage dealt , some ppl are using it on sockwave totems

[wild depot]

hi, I am playing after couple months break and got to kingsmarch, but not sure what will follow in terms of acts and starting maps

[quick pike]

after act 4 there are 3 interlude acts that are placeholder ,then maps

[wild depot]

Are there any low level white bases, that I should gather to get money when I start maps?

[sage phoenix]

That did not answer my question

[quick pike]

early on would be better on a skill that does a big physical hit

[fast mortar]

is there a unstuck or /kill command? because my Tavakai boss fight is bugged to hell, i cant die and he is stuck in a corner not moving and i cant kill him either....

[slender pond]

people use it on both

[fluid ridge]

Hi there folks sorry to bother y'all, but I am kind of getting dicked in Act 2, like can't even go through a map dicked, and I'm not sure what to do to fix my build, or just to generally perform better beyond just getting good. I was hoping to get some insight from any more senior members willing to look over my travesty of a build?

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/39cdl004

[quick pike]

you could log to character and press long into hideout/town button then ctrl+click on the waypoint or zone entrance to reset the zone

[fast mortar]

alright cheers, ill try that

holy moly, thats the worst bug i have experienced in this game so far

[frigid ivy]

herald of thunder isnt “usable with current weapon set settings”, can someone explain to me what this means?

[quick pike]

your weapon is really bad and low ilvl , required lvl is 6 , that's not important , the item level is super important , it's only ilvl 8 and you're lvl 23 , get a better weapon with % physical dmg and some flat dmg(adds # to dmg)

[quick pike]

press G and click on heral > check the weapons that are being selected , selected only the main weapon

[fluid ridge]

does this work? a random vender has it

[quick pike]

yeah , craft on that , hit it with a regal orb

rest of you gear is bad too ,get items with life and resistances

[fluid ridge]

I got gain life on kill...well it will probably help me actually kill but its been rough

[quick pike]

pick talismans that drop and use transmutation,augmentation orbs on them , you can do that in every zone , once a zone

[frigid ivy]

sorry im a bit slow how do i select a weapon for a spirit gem skill 😭

[quick pike]

don't worry, I will log and post a screenshot

[frigid ivy]

thank you

OHH NEVERMIND I FOUND THE BUTTON

[fluid ridge]

Is it worth spending an exalt for this?

[quick pike]

I would not

it has no life affix and only 13% fire res

[fluid ridge]

god this is...a lot of stuff people are trying to trade

i cannot tell whats good lmao

this?

wait no this is better, right?

[flint plume]

Generally life and ele resists are the most important things

[grave crystal]

levelling a monk has to be the most miserable experience of my life

[frigid ivy]

im having so much fun levelling a monk

get the devour skill from the druid and you can spam charges off of dead bodies

then spam falling thunder max charge

[grave crystal]

idk man i think im done with monk its not fun at all

might go to ranger or witch

[fluid ridge]

Witch is fun, though that might be because I really like Minion hordes 😄

[grave crystal]

i havent played a witch yet so thats why im considering it

i was thinking infernalist

[fluid ridge]

But if you want to feel like...that Combo style gameplay Monk promises but a bit less like...terrible early, I would genuinely recommend one of the Shaman Shapeshift forms. Maybe not Wyvern since I don't know much about it, but werewolf has been very combo-y and enjoyable IMO, and Bear seems like a fun side grade to fissure warrior

[grave crystal]

nah i just wanna kill a lot of shit really fast

[quick pike]

if you want to play a summoner I'm playing sorc Disciple of Varashta and it's crazy good , I'm ssf too

[obsidian acorn]

is there a way to non stop farm the abyssal depths in campagin?

[quick pike]

zizaran made a video about that zone , you do it once and reset the zone

[grave crystal]

that ascendancy looks interesting, what part of the game are you in

[quick pike]

maps t5

https://www.poe-vault.com/poe2/sorceress/disciple-of-varashta/djinn-minion-leveling-guide or https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/dslily-varashta-djinn-sorceress , I used the tree by ghazzy and skills by lily 😄

[copper spindle]

How do i get relics for trials?

[quick pike]

from monsters in trial/bronze,silver or gold chests

[flint plume]

Main place to get relics is in the trial itself

[copper spindle]

okay but how do i start a trial to change ascendency? I have 4 relics from my first run but i dont understand how to start one?

[quick pike]

the first trial key you get it's the quest one and if you don't kill the boss you can farm relics if you want

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/trials-of-ascendancy

[flint plume]

You need to get a key. Either as a random drop or just trade for it

[grave crystal]

should i try ssf

[copper spindle]

Whats it called? i see ultimatum key and pinnacle key?

[flint plume]

Ultimatum Key or Djinn Barua depending on which trial you want to do

[flint plume]

Up to you. A lot of people don't like SSF in PoE2 but some do

[copper spindle]

which one can i do to reset my spec?

ive only ran one

[quick pike]

you can switch from ssf to trade later if you want

[flint plume]

Either

[grave crystal]

ill prob try it at a later league when i know more about the game

[copper spindle]

whats a pinnacle key?

[quick pike]

ssf is the best way to learn the game and if you want to play trade you just do this

[quick pike]

fragments to fight the pinnacle boss

https://poe2db.tw/Pinnacle_Keys

[frigid ivy]

which is for which boss?

[quick pike]

top 3 are for The Arbiter of Ash other 3 are for the uber Arbiter of Ash

[frigid ivy]

ohh alright thank you

does anything in the uber version change other than the health and damage?

or does the moveset change aswell

[quick pike]

probably new moves too , I haven't tried Arbiter at all ,but I did kill all uber bosses in poe1 last league and all ubers have some new moves

[flint plume]

These are all questions for #2┃after-acts-help , by the way

[spark stratus]

where's my Trail of the Ancestors guys?

do i missing something?

[quick pike]

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Trial_of_the_Ancestors_(quest)

hmm wait , that's outdated , to free Matiki you must kill the bird boss in Shrike Island,

[spark stratus]

i already beat it but don't know why i don't have trial

[quick pike]

what about Matiki ?

he spawn in the boss arena and he can be hard to see, I did the campaign this league on 2 characters , first he spawned in the arena at the bottom and then top

[spark stratus]

wait, i'm gonna check it again

[quick pike]

you need to go to Eye of Hinekora >halls of the dead>trials of the ancestors

[obsidian acorn]

is there a point searching for bosses that dont have the +?

[quick pike]

no , other than getting some loot

[finite spruce]

How do you make rampage with druid last longer?

[finite spruce]

of course, exploring is fun

[obsidian acorn]

not really when ive done is 100 times

and since yday div prices went from 100 ex to 140
just missing out when im not in maps

2 days*

[finite spruce]

not very new player of you :p

[obsidian acorn]

this is the only place to ask about campaing stuff

[copper spindle]

How much damage does Earthbreaker/Aftershock do? it doesnt say anywhere.

[quick pike]

what about on the skill window ?

[hybrid star]

if you hover on A͟f͟t͟e͟r͟s͟h͟o͟c͟k͟ you might see it

[copper spindle]

it just says the description on the Talent in the ascendency area

[quick pike]

check a skill on the gem window and see if it says anything , all damaging skills have a lot of info there

[tardy plume]

How dumb are you man? That isn't greed that is called keeping the game running.

[jolly osprey]

It seems that loyalty support gem doesn't work at all, I tested it and no life taken from companion when I got hit

[cyan peak]

embiter makes charged staff buff to be converted into cold instead?

[crude apex]

in act 4 for the weapon. I've defeated the giant bird and the prisinor, but i'm still missing a piece. Can someone tell me where?.

[quick pike]

check https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/path-of-exile-2-campaign-guide#act-4-header The Search is the quest for that

Isle of Kin,Volcanic Warrens,Kedge Bay , there are some other places with bosses that give you skill points and there's the Torn Map Piece for the introduction of expedition , it's good exp and currency/items

[crude apex]

it says that i need to go to the Volcanic Warrens, but I haven't unlocked that island. How do I unlock it, caus it doesn't say in the guide

[quick pike]

it says to go to The Isle of Kin

"The Isle of Kin is a sulphite quarry inhabited by large packs of swarming Kin and their subdued behemoths. The primary quest objective is to search for the Volcanic Warrens"

btw The Blind Beast no longer gives +2 Passive Skill Points , Dark Mists Quest gives it instead

[crude apex]

Thank you

[spark stratus]

how i can search "Level from Corruption" guys?

[scenic bloom]

Does deep freeze on freezing mark make sense, or is the mark not the "source" of the freeze?

[quick pike]

deep freeze on freezing mark doesn't work , you can check supports ppl are using on https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal?skills=Freezing+Mark

mark of Siphoning,Efficiency II,Cold Mastery,Eternal Mark stuff like that

[quick pike]

you just search for gem lvl 21

[spark stratus]

i mean i just want to get lower lvl gem but have +1 lvl stat

[quick pike]

go to Miscellaneous and have Corrupted Yes

[cloud sage]

why i cant activate this pls help

[drowsy fjord]

can someone help me with my flicker strike monk? i followed the build but i cant generate charges like in the video i have to manualy make charges

[small vault]

anyone experienced this bug? nth happens, waited 5+ mins

tried respawn too

[cloud sage]

how would i want to upgrade this what order

[cloud sage]

i just finished that lol had no bug

[queen snow]

If I place waystones there are slots unlocking below. What do I put there?

[quick pike]

tablets https://poe2db.tw/Tablet#TabletItem

[cloud sage]

can sm1 help

[quick pike]

for what build

[sweet reef]

Can someone give me an advice which one to use? I'm a Druid-Bear character. Personally i can't decide between Stun and Elemental Ailment Threshold

[cloud sage]

deadeye LA

[quick pike]

stun is nice

[sweet reef]

Will this help with rampage? Often when i want to go into rampage, some enemy kicks my bear-butt and the rampage is aborted

[daring dragon]

It won't make or break your build so it's not a very important decision.

[daring dragon]

No that's not a stun

Other people report the same thing.

Not sure what causes it tho.

[sweet reef]

Interesting... because it's really annoying if you want to go into rampage mode and some little foe just aborts this move before it began (when you get hit during your roar)

[hoary zenith]

Should I take the level 13 sceptre to give my skeleton warrior skill a 3rd slot or keep my current sceptre?

It doesn't have a increased damage stat which is the issue

[obsidian forge]

stun threshold

[sweet reef]

damn... took the elemental right now 🙁

charcater broken now? great

[daring dragon]

Absolutely not

As I said

It's a very minor thing

[trim turret]

How are you supposed to be generating power charges?

[daring dragon]

Many guides even recommend one or the other so don't worry.

[sweet reef]

ok, good to hear then

[trim turret]

No, its a small buff.

[obsidian forge]

yes, now you can delete the game
just kidding, ailment also not bad

[quick pike]

+1 is better and I would search at lvl 55+ , ilvl 55 sceptres , it can roll +3 minions, I did that in ssf

[sweet reef]

And throw out my PC to the window! Good bye Atziri! 😅

[trim turret]

The +1 to minions might make a difference. Hard to say.

[obsidian acorn]

anything worth keeping?

[quick pike]

just hit it with an essence , later you can actually craft a bow like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL5tKZhFV6U

[quick pike]

you can check with a tool like exiled exchange 2

[hoary zenith]

don't know if I have enough exalts for that since I'm still in the campaign

[quick pike]

you don't need to use them , check vendors, pick all the sceptres and use transmute,aug on them , 3 to 1 them , that's how I've got my +2 and +3 in ssf

[noble lynx]

are there any support gems that will increase the closing distance of shred skill?

[hoary zenith]

Oh aight

So I guess I should replace my level 9 sceptre then right?

[quick pike]

you can check the dmg before and after , but yeah I had a +2 with 45% dmg to minion sceptre and switch to +3 no dmg to minions sceptre and the +3 is better

[hoary zenith]

Cool thanks

Also last question

[zenith pivot]

why is my herald of ice not activating after getting savage fury

[hoary zenith]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/minion-army-infernalist-build-guide#gearing-header Since I'm following this guide, can I just stick to my skeletal archer till endgame since my performance keeps lowering when I'm using vaal guard bombers

[quick pike]

you could try the powered zealot with these supports , it's a bit better performance wise

[zenith pivot]

is there a reason my support gems are greyed out?

is it cause of stats

[hoary zenith]

Where do I find them? Should same area as where I got the vaal guards?

[quick pike]

no, 3rd interlude etched ravine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhVH4P1YPqc

and you need to check they have spark as one of their skills

[hoary zenith]

Aight

[low seal]

This worth running? Playing bear and getting one shot buuut BIIIIG DAM tho

[noble lynx]

are there any support gems that will increase the closing distance of shred skill?

[compact crystal]

is it possible to change the ascendancy?

[quick pike]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/respec-ascendancy

[compact crystal]

ty

[quick pike]

no , but someone was recommending "I found that if you go into the skill panel, click the little arrow beside the DPS value for Shred, and then enable "always attack without moving", then Shred will consistently do the small pounce. "

try that and see how it feels

[trim turret]

You only run that if you can make up the resistances someplace else. Resistances are the bare minimum of defense.

[low seal]

Can you remove negative effects on legendary items?

[trim turret]

No. They're uniques. Meaning they do something unique, but not always good automatically.

Well maybe with the new temple mechanics. I know that can replace certain mods but that may be a later game thing.

[onyx tide]

how do I get more support sockets for shred ?

[trim turret]

Character level I believe.

[onyx tide]

thank you

[drowsy fjord]

cast on crit i have 70% crit like the build im following https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/league-starter-hollow-palm-monk-fgkorbyn21?ws-ngf5-f7d82102-7e77-4a44-ad24-33b67e8ae7bf=activeVariantId%2C8#build-overview-0

[fair merlin]

Is connecting to the architects chamber a good or bad thing? Last time i did that it destroyed my whole temple and it didn't felt good.
Not really sure what the benefit was for doing that chamber

[fathom crescent]

Is there a way to auto-pause the game if you alt-tab or another window takes focus from the game?

Couldn't find a setting like this myself 🙁

[trim turret]

Ok, and are you having trouble generating charges all the time or just against bosses?

[drowsy fjord]

i rarley genarate anything

even when i gain 1

[trim turret]

Well the cast on crit setup needs corpses, and you have profane ritual linked to cast on crit, cast on crit is active and reserving spirit, and your crit chance is actually 70% like in your skill screen?

And you have charge profusion also?

[drowsy fjord]

yes

when figthing i have like 90 crit

for flicker strike

[trim turret]

Yeah but flicker isn't meant to be used to generate the charges. You can't generate charges while using flicker. So your falling thunder crit chance is what matters.

[low seal]

Is there a way to disable the minimap?

THERE IS

OMG

[mental horizon]

Guys need help,cant find navalis rest at the eye of hinekora in act 4

[quick pike]

there is

[drowsy fjord]

like it dosent do anything like in the guide, it rarley does anything

[quick pike]

https://static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/navali-s-rest-map-location-in-path-of-exile-2.jpg after than you need to find halls of the dead

[drowsy fjord]

its 50%

Like it crits several times but I don't get power charges

[trim turret]

Yeah but the guide gives a while different charge generation method for bosses because the cast on crit setup is for clearing.

[somber star]

Umm how do you add support gem slots to equipement skills like Shred on druid? Lesser Jeweller's Orbs don't work since they aren't a skill gem...

[trim turret]

Dependent on character level.

[quick pike]

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Gem_socket#Skills_granted_by_items_and_passive_skills

[somber star]

Hmm i'm 35 and no 3rd slot yet

[quick pike]

check at 36

[drowsy fjord]

Yes it uses profane ritual

[somber star]

ugh ty

[trim turret]

...only for clearing. Because that requires corpses. Against bosses, it uses Aelith's Chimes.

[drowsy fjord]

also have it

[trim turret]

And you're building combo with your strike skill, then using hand of chayula to spend the combo?

[drowsy fjord]

im just following the build and cant understand why it dosent generate charges its exacatly like in the guide

[trim turret]

And I'm trying to help you.

[low seal]

Is it worth stacking increased item rarity?

[trim turret]

Are you building combo with your strike skill before using hand of chayula?

[south timber]

Later on yes, early on it’s not worth it over stats that will keep you alive/increase your damage

[noble lynx]

ok thanks

[low seal]

is there a breakpoint for drop rarity to aim for?

[drowsy fjord]

yes until 20 then i use charged staff then i build combo again and use flicker strike

[torn ivy]

guys where can i farm Uncut spirit gems in campaign , my build uses multiple ones and i am depended on them and i need to level my current ones and i cannot find any , i been using my srs since like act 1 lol

i am starting act 3 rn

[trim turret]

Nowhere in particular. They just drop.

[quick pike]

they've changed how rarity scales and works and the've said that the data from the tests ppl did on rarity were wrong

[torn ivy]

drop rate must be crazy

[trim turret]

Some optional encounters in zones drop them also.

[quick pike]

last league I needed a lvl 7 spirit gem and farmed a lvl 22 zone for like 20 min and got it , killed rares fast, you can check on poe2db for the zone lvl you must do

[trim turret]

Unlucky. I've gotten 2-3 raw plus the rewards from bosses.

[crude apex]

is interlude like a preview to act 5 that will come in the future?

[trim turret]

Seems like it should be working. I'm sure between the two of us we're missing something but I don't know what it is at the moment.

[torn ivy]

will try to farm more i guess , thanks guys

[quick pike]

no interludes are just placeholders

[trim turret]

More placeholder than preview.

[crude apex]

ow okay, does that mean there will come more soon?

[drowsy fjord]

ik i cant figure it out

when i gain a power charge its just one

[south timber]

Eventually

[low seal]

Why does the ability Ferocious Roar indicate it's on cooldown but I can continue to cast it again?

[trim turret]

You using profusion 1 or 2?

[drowsy fjord]

1

[trim turret]

Get 2 when you can. That should help a little bit.

[hollow briar]

guys i've been searching for the sacrificial heart for hours in the utzaal, am i doing something wrong?

[opal shuttle]

How does one find out about prices for stuff you want to sell, like are the tools you install as an app overlay or look for comparable gear or just guess

[south timber]

Press / by default to open the market window

Or talk to someone who offers the currency exchange (which you unlock in act 4 iirc)

Might be earlier than that

[quick pike]

try in Aggorat , I always find it there

[hybrid star]

the heart drops from the big dude

[quick pike]

you can use a tool like exiled exchange 2

[hollow briar]

which big dude?

[hybrid star]

the biggest dude

just so you know to skip the smaller monsters

[true radish]

hi, does grenade skill get affected by aspd?

[low seal]

Anyone properly use the pick up item on key press feature? I can't seem to get it to work

[quick pike]

just tried it , yeah you press the key and click ,it picks up the item

just have that setup in options-game key pickup use bound key that you've set

[low seal]

You still have to click the item tho? Just an extra input at that point

[trim turret]

Yes. If you look at the gem it should say attack under the gem name.

[true radish]

oh sry i worded it wrong i think, does aspd affect the grenade explode speed or whatever that thing is called or just the speed that the grenade launched

[trim turret]

That's just launch speed. There are passives and supports that decrease the grenade fuse.

[marsh jewel]

what is a good tame beast for my shield wall warrior? for culling strike or romiras

[true radish]

oh so just launch speed, not fuse thanks!

OH DETONATION SPEED

that's the word i look for

[junior hearth]

what this mean

[quick pike]

afflictions are unknown , bad mods in rooms are unknown

[grand dome]

hey is there any way to know what vaal corruption item affixes are there?

[marsh jewel]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Modifiers

[grand dome]

what is a vaal unique?

[quick pike]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Sacrifice_of_the_Vaal#VaalOrbCorruptedEnchantment

[grand dome]

I am talking about the vaal cultivation orb

[tall sage]

where do I go to do second ascendancy trial? I can't put this one in the temple of chaos and im on act4 and still dont get where to use this

[quick pike]

that's for sekhemas

[south timber]

You use that one at the act 2 trial of the sekhemas but it won’t give you additional points

The act 3 trial of chaos you get the quest item from the chimera

[tall sage]

why does it say that it grants points if it doesnt?

[south timber]

And then after that you need a barya or ultimatum that is high enough level to offer ascendancy passives as a reward

[quick pike]

https://poe2db.tw/Vaal_Cultivation_Orb#CultivatedMods

[south timber]

Because if you haven’t done the trial of chaos yet then it will give you passives

You can do either sekhemas OR chaos

As long as the key item is high enough level, you’ll get 2 points per, the first time you do it

[junior hearth]

why there no icons? xD

[trim turret]

"Rewards are unknown."

[south timber]

Reading helps

[marsh chasm]

great question: is it possible to craft a spear or hammer with all prefixes of Gain extra damage using essence

[junior hearth]

huh i didnt remember i got that

does purple smoke can change my afflictions?

[quick pike]

no, check the mods that can roll https://poe2db.tw/us/Spears#ModifiersCalc , you use 1 essence to craft

[junior hearth]

so im dead or what XD

this didnt used xd

yoiks

[marsh chasm]

Ahhh, those are blocking each other. TY

[south timber]

You didn’t go below 20% of max life, you lost all your honour

Honour isn’t life

Honour is lost semi-permanently by getting hit, you can regain it in some ways but it’s not easy to

[gloomy silo]

Is there some kind of crafting bench how would I combine these runes to go from lesser to greater?

[unkempt plover]

so i havent played poe 2 in like a year, trying to get back into it made my druid got to maps feels bad and i dont wanna play bear anymore, rerolling wolf, anyone know any good levelling uniques?

or would it be quicker to just farm up gold and full passive respec?

[quick pike]

you can combine them in the augment stash tabs , not sure how to do it or if you can do it with that stash tab

[quick pike]

ok found how without the stash tabs , use the reforge bench put 1 rune in each of the 3 slots and it will give the next lvl of the rune

[gloomy silo]

Right but where this forge bench is looked it uo and it said its in all acts along with some type of npc rune vendor but neither are in any act and just made it to act 3

[gloomy silo]

And I have that augment stash tabs but the upgrade options greyed out?

[quick pike]

in act 3 Oswald has that quest,Drowned City , Molten Vault is the the unlock

[gloomy silo]

Oh ok my bad thank you

[quick pike]

do you have 3 of the same rune ?

[gloomy silo]

Ive got 6 lesser iron runes

[quick pike]

hmm it will probably unlock after you get the bench

[timber valley]

@quick pike is it the higher the modifier tier the better or?

[quick pike]

higher ilvl of the item is better , T1 is best

[timber valley]

hmmmm okay

[nova spruce]

Hey, any tips on how to farm for a specific low level unique ? I met the gambling limit so idk what's the solution

[trim turret]

Just get lucky. That's why first characters don't require specific uniques for leveling.

[eternal plover]

last 40 spirit is in act 5?

[calm skiff]

If you're not solo self found, buy it from trade if its not too expensive

[worthy summit]

im at 60 spirit i dod the bog with and the mist guy and am missing 60 some how does anyone know?

[calm skiff]

You could probably chance orb it with the right item bases, but also difficult to get early

[calm skiff]

Did you pickup use the skull from both bosses?

[worthy summit]

should have? can i beat it again to get them?

[calm skiff]

You get 30 from each so 60 is right

[worthy summit]

ya

[calm skiff]

You get 40 more in interlude 3

[nova spruce]

Chance calculators say less than 1% chance though, and yeah it's expensive and I'm trying to get as far as possible without trading rn

[worthy summit]

idk what that is

[quick pike]

check https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/permanent-stats-from-campaign act 1 - 30 spirit , act 3 -30 and The Wayward Spear 40 spirit in Interlude act 3 Kriar Village

[nova spruce]

third part of what's after act 4

[worthy summit]

so i shouldnt be at 100 yet?

[nova spruce]

If I create a new character do I get gambling chances ?

[worthy summit]

im fighting the crow guy in act 4

[quick pike]

after act 4 there are 3 more interlude acts

[worthy summit]

so 60 spirit is where i should be at?

[quick pike]

last 40 spirit is in 3rd interlude

[worthy summit]

thanks

[calm skiff]

No, only if you get more in body armour or amulet

[worthy summit]

thanks

[calm skiff]

Or corrupted helmet implicit

Or a sceptre which can be off handed... Ventor's gamble rings, some other uniques. There's options if you need the extra spirit that early

[nova spruce]

how would you farm lv 4 unique gloves as SSF ?

[calm skiff]

Plaguefingers I guess? All you can do is just kill as many rares and boss monsters you can, and chance orb any white gauze wraps

But it's likely a pointless endeavour, better off progressing to endgame, and farming currency to buy them

[oblique olive]

havent played since 0.1 how tf do u beat azmadi

[noble lynx]

evasion wont be as good on a bigger shapeshifted body because there is alot more surface area for them to hit?

[calm skiff]

Evasion stat is not linked to size afaik

[noble lynx]

ok thanks. cant decide what rout to take

[calm skiff]

What animal are you going?

Bears usually take armour

[noble lynx]

wolf

[calm skiff]

Wolf I think is more evasion related and wyvern int

But if you are druid your starting area on passive tree will be quite far from evasion nodes I think

So for levelling id go armour or ES or both

[nova spruce]

Chance orb is basically gacha with a 0.6% chance, so SSF is a bit screwed

[noble lynx]

ok thanks. im almost always pure es in any character i get halfway leveled. but had suspicion evasion was what i need im glad i asked. im mostly thinking of gear at the moment. havnt thougt about the tree much. but thats good to know evasion is far away.

[calm skiff]

Yes, but if you are disenchanting the uniques you're not using/selling then you'll have some spares, so might as well gamba if you aren't selling them to save up

[calm skiff]

Yea, its literally on the opposite side of druid

[noble lynx]

those things that give you a node somwhere else on the tree, can you build off of them? guessing no but hoping. not really used them

[calm skiff]

And ES is still the best defensive layer currently, hasnt been nerfed

[noble lynx]

ok thanks for the advice kind sir

[calm skiff]

You can annoint a notable or use from nothing jewels, yes, but might not give you enough nodes to make evasion worth

Probably best to use it to add to something you already have in your tree and there's good nodes matching it on another side also

Megalomaniacs jewels also can give you up to 3 notables but those can get very expensive as its rng and simulacrum is difficult to farm without a very strong build

[hoary citrus]

what's this??

[noble lynx]

ok got ya. i was thinking of being able to select nodes off of the chosen notable. thatd be nice addition for them to make. a portal to other side of tree. dont know where i pulled that from

[hoary citrus]

that'd be too op, even by poe standards

[calm skiff]

Gives you an guaranteed reward first time you click it, i dont remember what but will be like an uncut gem or artificers orb

[calm skiff]

Yes, that is what From Nothing unique jewel does, but you can only select nodes in a radius around the unique keystone

[hoary citrus]

i can't click on it

[calm skiff]

You need to find the path around to get to it

[hoary citrus]

rly a lesser rune? xD

[noble lynx]

oh boo. should be able to go all the way in

[calm skiff]

I think pathfinder ascendancy is like scion where you can have 2 starter locations on passive tree

[noble lynx]

ok. i havent seen the ascendancies yet. so ES it is. was little worried might not find stuff for plus to melee attacks mod on ES gear

[calm skiff]

Monk is generally melee and goes ES so you're fine

Most melee stuff is on weapons, rings and gloves so also fine

[plain dune]

how can i connect this last 2 rooms

[noble lynx]

ok cool thanks much

[plain dune]

couldnt connect that last 2 chambers

[calm skiff]

I think last room is connected even if it doesnt show, not sure about architecht, they say they will change it with next patch

[plain dune]

im on the last room its not connected

there must a doorway for last chamber

[calm skiff]

Then I think unfortunately you have to run it until the room collapses and you can place a path tile to connect it

[plain dune]

room collapses?

[calm skiff]

You can wait for patch but idk if it will change existing temples

[plain dune]

did i mess up?

[calm skiff]

If you run the temple and then close it, it will collapse some rooms

[plain dune]

ah kay tysm

[calm skiff]

More if you kill architect or atziri

[plain dune]

ohh my i couldnt find vaal craft room on this temple then its colapsed

[plain dune]

can i ask one more thing

[calm skiff]

Sure

[hollow elk]

can I port out of Vaal's temple to sell some items and come back?

[gloomy silo]

So at a little of a loss if the only way to get more spirit if from boss in act 1 3 and 6 I guess how would I be able to use my tame beast skill plus my herrald?

[hollow elk]

??? who gave that thumbs up? I got back to the stash at the beginning and now I can not enter the temple any more

[calm skiff]

I think they disabled opening portals in the temple but I think you can exit via the entrance and come back as long as you dont hit close in the console

[gloomy silo]

Yea if you portal out its done it should have prompted you with a are you sure message

[hollow elk]

no, I could open the portal, it asked me if I was sure to leave, clicked yes, brought me back to the console but I can not click run temple anymore

[calm skiff]

and is the big triangle portal closed ?

[hollow elk]

well, yes, that's why I asked here lol. It doesnt exactly tell me the consequences of what happens if I click yes, how should i know if I am sure lol

[hollow elk]

yes

[gloomy silo]

Felt tho lmao

[calm skiff]

sounds like they changed this again then

[hollow elk]

okay 🙁 oh maaaan I hadnt even crafted anything

[quick pike]

was the temple completed ?

worked fine for me

[hollow elk]

is there a way to get another temple run quickly (can I trigger the energy crystal circles from old maps?) ? or should I just continue?

[hollow elk]

nope, just some rooms completed, amidst of it. Inventory was full...

[gloomy silo]

Every time you load into any map one will spawn somewhere

[calm skiff]

you need another 6 energy crystals, any new map instance should spawn one

[hollow elk]

so I can run through small act 1 maps to try and get it? but probably not worth the time huh

[gloomy silo]

Thats what I do lmao

[hollow elk]

hahaha I'm beginning to learn here 😄 which maps do you do?

[drowsy matrix]

hey! does this activate automatically or so? i cant move the gem into any of my action slots. i can just enable / disable it

[gloomy silo]

I start at the beginning and just keep going through em

[gloomy silo]

Still new my self but that's a buff right does it cost spirit?

[drowsy matrix]

it is yet but it speaks of "activation". as well in the description: "Using this skill". not to mention that fact that theres a "duration". i just have no clue how to activate it lmao

OK NEVERMIND! I found a way to activate it lmao

[gloomy silo]

So yea acrivate it in you skill page and you should see where you spirtr is now like 0/30 or some and its just always active

[drowsy matrix]

nah. its a littereal skill that just uses spirit as well:

[gloomy silo]

Ahh ok lol

[drowsy matrix]

thanks tho!

[hollow elk]

but you just run to the circles right? activate and leave?

[edgy epoch]

do you think i could play the game without following a build guide?

[gloomy silo]

Yea you dont need to clear the whole map or amything

[calm skiff]

absolutely, you might struggle and have to try different things but that's the best way to learn imo

[edgy epoch]

bet

[quick pike]

if you read all the stuff , read the skills and click on words with ____ it explains how stuff works

[calm skiff]

you can even run the same location over and over, just need to ctrl click the entrace and select "new instance"

or ctrl click the waypoint location

[hollow elk]

ooh that's nice, ty!

but the crystal circle location will be different each time I presume

[calm skiff]

yes, it will be a new rng layout

[hollow elk]

ty

[calm skiff]

so if you find a location that is mostly linear every time that will prob be the best

[hollow elk]

clearfell is a pretty small map for example

[rotund prism]

completely unable to dodge or sprint. I reset settings, disabled /reenabled, exited out of game, reinstalled no matter what i cant get it to work again....anyone know how to fix? game is completely unplayable

[solar dagger]

hey everyone i need help for boss for act 4 the guy in the end has 4 phases and im dying in the last one , can somebody help me ? im playing eu , vaal of druids league !

[calm skiff]

are you using ezomyte peak helmet ?

or have the unwavering stance keystone allocated ?

[rotund prism]

bruh...someone just gave me that helm and i didnt realize the stance XD im a dufus thanx man lol

[calm skiff]

😆 np, you're welcome

[calm skiff]

whats your ign

do you want a carry or advice ?

[rotund prism]

to in a hurry to level reading became to difficult i guess😂

[calm skiff]

xD to be fair, if you dont hover over the unwavering stance thing you won't know what it does

[solar dagger]

i want help not carry man

[calm skiff]

what are you dying to ?

the slam, the spikes ?

[solar dagger]

he throws some thorns

its all over the area i cant dodge it

and then he jumps and they break and im dying instantly

[calm skiff]

there should be some spots not covered by the spikes where it's safe unless he is slamming that location, if you see a little flame orb in the middle of the arena, falling from the sky, looks like a mini sun it explodes with a lot of damage once it hits the ground and you need to be on the edge of the arena hugging a wall to not get hit

[thorny geyser]

What is a gample purchace?

[flint plume]

Buying unidentified items from vendor

[solar dagger]

i mean can u js help me tho...

[flint plume]

Every town has a vendor that sells them

[solar dagger]

like ive been stuck on him for the whole day

[desert sedge]

Rule 6. No trading, begging, asking for 'loans', giveaways, tips for services, etc for any game. See #trading for alternatives.

[calm skiff]

its those vendor purchases that give you a random item,

[thorny geyser]

Thank you

[calm skiff]

yes, but I am level 93, I will kill it in seconds

pm me your ign

[solar dagger]

i dont mind that xddd

give me a moment ill tell you im opening pc rn

[dusky burrow]

#2┃looking-for-group is the channel for stuff like that anyway

dont use this channel, this is only for advice etc.

[solar dagger]

alr man

[calm skiff]

ah, I thought you didnt want a carry x)

[solar dagger]

i mean if u have player on my lvl u cna come with that

[solar dagger]

i dmed you

[grand trench]

Does anyone know how to show tiers and roll ranges in the in game market?

It works in poe 1 but i cant figure it out on 2

[calm skiff]

dont think you can unfortunately, have to look them up using poe2db and add the min values yourself when searching

[grand trench]

fucking oof

[finite spruce]

Can you change the tattoos stuff?

[grand trench]

thanks for the info

[calm skiff]

in campaign? no its permanent

[grand trench]

Yeah tattoos is perm, you can change the interlude one though

[hollow elk]

that's pretty sick for an ice wolf riiiight?

[glossy python]

is Drench a elemental ailment?

[hollow elk]

could combine with the whole chill / freeze skill nodes

[calm skiff]

yes, but you need to use herald of ice to make the shattering deal damage

[dusky burrow]

no, it's just a generic debuff

[glossy python]

nice

[dusky burrow]

ailments are defined by the fact they scale off of the hit damage that applies the ailment

drench doesnt scale off of the hit damage so it cannot be an ailment

[glossy python]

ahh, gotcha. thanks 🙂

[wary wasp]

alright so i have a question that seems important, but there's literally nothing on google about it. the npc merchants that show up in campaign, eg torbik in interludes or trouble camps in act 3, can you reset their inventory by leveling up? i guess i can find out myself, but just asking.

[hollow elk]

true, but I got that. daaaang nice I finally found something really useful 🙂

[calm skiff]

it will be really good for clear, for more single target dmg a standard ring with 3 flat dmg affixes will be better

[hollow elk]

👍🏻 ty!

[hollow elk]

hm, I tested this, used a waypoint from act 2 to go back to clearfell map act 1, ran across it, yet found no energy crystal vaal circle. Did I get that wrong?

[calm skiff]

I didn't test it, so idk if they respawn in campaign I thought that is what @gloomy silo was saying though

[atomic nimbus]

anyone wanna level and play together?

[quick pike]

I think it's based on your lvl , if your too high of a lvl you won't find it

ppl would farm that way in poe1 too and the've changed it

[calm skiff]

#2┃looking-for-group

[sweet sun]

some cheap low lvl items/uniques I could use on my huntress to speedrun campaign?

[hollow elk]

okay ty. No1 knows any numbers I presume? I'll try some higher act 1 map. Dont really want to get into actual clearing

[noble lynx]

oswald doesnt carry talismans? or he just happen to not have any this round?

[calm skiff]

just rng, level up and check again

[hollow elk]

nothing on ogham farmlands, which is 10 lvl below, either

[noble lynx]

ok good thx. wish you could pay the main vendors to update their inventory or something like it. just waiting to level up doesnt offer very many opportunities to level up your gear. would be good gold sink

[hollow elk]

so, I dont really see how they should respawn. Am a bit tilted because the warning from the portal out of the vaal temple is so bad, and I got kicked out of it

[calm skiff]

found this video of someone farming one in one of the interludes so it should be level based indeed

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

[hollow elk]

looks juicy, but I have no access to a similar map yet

do u know how many levels below his lvl this map was?

[calm skiff]

unfortunately his level is not visible in the video so idk

[hollow elk]

kk, appreciate it

[noble lynx]

SOB doesent have any talismans to sell me this level either. damnit

[hollow briar]

guys it's my first time through act 4 and i am lost af, i've done all the islands but abandoned prison one doesn't unlock for me

[quick pike]

check https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/path-of-exile-2-campaign-guide#act-4-header , can you post a screenshot of the islands

[calm skiff]

what do you mean doesnt unlock? abandoned prison should be unlocked right from the start

[lusty wharf]

Is the sealed vault good or bad to place if you want to keep running a temple? What are the pros/cons?

[hollow elk]

found thornmail lol

[calm skiff]

you get some currency and gold, room crashes after and might take an adjacent tile afaik

[lusty wharf]

Thank you; so the other rooms are fine if not adjacent?

[calm skiff]

just dont kill architect or atziri and most rooms will stay intact

some of them say, they collapse after you clear them

sealed vaults is one of them

[lusty wharf]

Thanks - haven't ever made it to Archi or Azitri, so I think I'm ok there 🙂

[marsh jewel]

is the "lowest level modifier" on this amulet max life because it has the lowest iLvl here on craftofexile?

[small bison]

Do druid pets scale with you or its default stats on them

[quick pike]

they scale same as normal minions ,with minion dmg,life...

[thorny geyser]

What happens with my spend skill point from the unseen path if I change from oracle to shaman?

[calm skiff]

#2┃crafting-advice but I believe so, yes wiki confirms here its based on ilvl requirement: https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Omen_of_Whittling

[hollow elk]

vaal circle bosses are random, and probably rare with good drops? unfortunately I died to it and it wasnt there anymore 🙁

[calm skiff]

yeah, they are random, I think higher chance if its the 6th crystal

[clear talon]

Do all items in my inventory and that i use stay forever stored in my caracter? or will the game remove it

[hollow elk]

just not my lucky day then

[wild vector]

guys does anyone know how to reset a boss fight in the story? My game bugged out at the zelina and zolin boss fight in the story

[quick pike]

you find them in every zone , if the zone is not too low of a level compared to your lvl

[thorny geyser]

Why are there different level Djinn Barya? Does a higher level one give me more skill points at the end?

[quick pike]

check https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/trials-of-ascendancy

Level 60+ Djinn Barya with "Number of Trials: 3" (3 floors) gives you points 5-6 , Level 75+ Djinn Barya with "Number of Trials: 4" (4 floors) points 7-8

[drowsy matrix]

any tips to defeat this stupid wolf in act 1 as a druid? i keep dying to his insta death ice breath which stuns u

[calm skiff]

they stay, at the end of the league they move to standard league

[thorny geyser]

Thank you

[quick pike]

ctrl+click on the zone entrace or the waypoint

[calm skiff]

make a new instance of the area by CTRL+clicking the entrance or waypoint

entrace of the map area, and select "new instance" then find the arena again

[calm skiff]

depending on ilvl it will allow you to proceed further in the trials

[wild vector]

great! Thank you

[calm skiff]

first Barya in campaign is so low level it only lets you reach first boss, and a ilvl 75+ lets you reach final boss, depending how far you get you can get more ascendancy points, up to a total of 8

[calm skiff]

cold resistance, cold charm like the one you get as quest reward from beating the king in the mists

should help you deal with it, otherwise dont stand in front of him

[wintry ice]

is there any chance to do ascendancy 4 fast?

i heard there are people who does it for someone

[calm skiff]

you buy the 3 fragments to open the trials of chaos door at the end and run a trial of chaos of level 75+ and kill trialmaster, or you find someone at the end of trials of skhemas and they let you in the party to join arena right before boss kill

some people sell that as a service

for like a div or 2

[wintry ice]

wow thats a lot

i havent seen even one div

[wintry ice]

ty

[mellow goblet]

Are merchant tabs closed right now ange doesn’t have an option

[quick pike]

are you ssf?

[mellow goblet]

Nah I used the tabs yesterday

Only option ange has is currency exchange

[clear talon]

will they add a feature that recovers when you delete a caracter?

like if you delete the caracter but you want it back

[calm skiff]

are you in your hideout ?

[calm skiff]

I don't think so.

[sweet sun]

what do I need to have to be boosted by my friend and get all ascendancy points? do I need to ascend first?

[mellow goblet]

Yes I fixed it though

Had to change my hideout to a different one then back and she’s working now

Weird

[worldly moth]

Can someone with a bigger brain explain why the right staff does way more DPS than the left? I'm guessing it's the +2 to level of all spell skills but am unsure

[calm skiff]

have him run trials of sekhema with barya ilvl 75+ and before killing boss you party him, you can stay in the room before the arena while he kills it

[sweet sun]

yes but do I need to be like ascended first or something?

[calm skiff]

no

you should get all 8 points

[sweet sun]

can be even lvl 1?

[calm skiff]

I think so

[quick pike]

+2 is huge ,yeah that's a big boost for spells

[calm skiff]

you're saying the right staff does more ?

[worldly moth]

Left does more, but i get it now 😄

[worldly moth]

Tyty, still very new to this game

[calm skiff]

basically, levels of spell gems and damage as extra add flat base damage which is the main bottleneck in scaling damage in this game and therefore always the priority

[worldly moth]

Makes sense, thanks for the info

[calm skiff]

that base damage is then increased multiplicatively with sources of "increased" and then further by sources of "more" but increased damage is very available on passive tree so its not so difficult to get

[worldly moth]

Gotcha, makes sense

[quick pike]

upgrading your weapon a lot is a big dmg boost , check https://poe2db.tw/us/Staves#ModifiersCalc item level is important on items not the lvl req to equip , for example ilvl 5 can get +2 to Level of all Spell Skills, ilvl 25 can get +3 , 55 +4 ,ilvl 78 +(5—6)

[worldly moth]

Understood, with so much damage %multiplication in the passive skill tree and on items it makes sense increasing the base damage of the spell via spell level will always greatly affect the overall DPS

[twin rivet]

I dont understand savage fury. How do i activate it? I thought it just activates on skill usage. Its at %100

Oop nevermind figured it out

[mental horizon]

Best class for staff? Not quarterstaff,,just staff,,monk?

[quick pike]

staff is spell casting , scorceress , witch are most common

druid use it too , plant druid , depends on the build , any class can use it

[mental horizon]

I have a druid build plant,just want to use also sparks etc etc idk if sparks will work on druid?

[quick pike]

sorc would be better for spark/other spells

[calm skiff]

any character can use any weapon/skill, the classes that start near the top area of the tree have an advantage for spell casting because they are nearer spell related nodes, so that would be sorceress, witch, followed by druid and monk. then you have ascendancies which further provide advantages, here Sorceress and Witch are more spell focused but not necessary

[mental horizon]

🤙🏼🤙🏼

[brazen axle]

Anyone transitioned from Wyvern Oil Barrage into Spear at all? If so how it go? Should I wait til endgame or what

[timber valley]

what do i do w this

its just stuck in my inv

[quick pike]

you get 2 skill points from that

go to journey's End , it's the Dark Mists quest

[timber valley]

ohh

i completely forgot about that

thank you

[calm skiff]

these are to free the hooded one in the forest no ?

[hardy sun]

That's from act 1, use on the tree with 3 spots you interact with

[timber valley]

apparently not 😂

u cant progress if u dont use them from act 1

[quick pike]

it's to free the "old lady"

[timber valley]

floryu helped, its at the journeys end when spiking the pillar

yeah freya

[hardy sun]

Is that act 4? Yeah, go to the way point, it's near it

[timber valley]

yea im doing it

[calm skiff]

ah yeah, those

[heavy pendant]

hey so I did a trial of chaos for more skill points. I died as soon as it cleared and now I no longer have the item to do the trial and I don't have the skill points or the rewards. am I just fucked or is there a way to get those back

[alpine dawn]

hey is anyone free to help me and a friend do trial 1-3 willing to pay with exalts

[clear talon]

why not? its very essential to add it

do they maybe have like a feature that says like are you sure you want to delete it?

[quick pike]

you don't get the points if you don't click on the altar , you would need another trial key

[heavy pendant]

damn, can they drop infinitely or is there a limit?

[quick pike]

no limit , it's rng drop

[heavy pendant]

thank god

[quick pike]

is it the quest chaos trial ? lvl 38 ?

that one doesn't consume the key

[thorny geyser]

If it's the first time (from the quest) the NPC next to it should give you the item back till you complete it. If you already did the quest you will need to find an orb back. By farming or trading. I recomend the trading its much easier and quicker. Make sure to get the orb of your level when you trade and not one from a much higher level like I did

[heavy pendant]

nope it wasn't a green one

[calm skiff]

yes

[calm skiff]

if its deleted its deleted. lol they have the confirmation window and max they could add is a timer to delete but that would be annoying to people that just want it gone immediately

[calm skiff]

if its the green one you get from killing the chimera first time in campaign you can reuse it until you clear it

otherwise they drop pretty frequently and are cheap to buy from trade

[woven bobcat]

when does the patch drop exactly?

[calm skiff]

like in 10m

they are restarting realm soon

[woven bobcat]

pogg

dude rolling magma buffs

[heavy pendant]

alright, thanks for the help

[woven bobcat]

I'M ALL IN

[heavy pendant]

is doing the trials a good way to farm for gear?

[woven bobcat]

at what point in the game d you mean

chaos trials?

almost never

[heavy pendant]

yeah, damn. still in act 3 rn

[woven bobcat]

i mean it is definitely profitable later in the game, even just running to trial 7 for the soul core drops and then quitting out

but in terms of gear farming its always chopped

extremely extremely rare to get anything worth using from there

you're better off just farming gold and gambling atp

cuz you could get a good base if you're lucky with gambling

[weary aurora]

why i cant activate my herald of ice
i have a fury talisman equiped ?

[calm skiff]

open the panel to the right by click the arrow

which sets is it checked on ?

like that

[weary aurora]

ok

[hard blade]

I keep on getting really good physical mods

[noble lynx]

what area would be best to farm to get a lvl 7 skill gem?

[prime venture]

Luck

[quick pike]

I'm looking now , I had to farm a lvl 7 last league , and went to a lvl 22 zone , took me about 15 min

[quick pike]

it's area lvl 23 https://poe2db.tw/Uncut_Skill_Gem_(Level_7)

[burnt river]

I'm using this build for my druid, it says to use herald of ash but I can't use that with a talisman right? https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/bear-druid-build-league-starter-to-endgame?ws-ngf5-f7d82102-7e77-4a44-ad24-33b67e8ae7bf=activeVariantId%2C2 very confused

[tulip stirrup]

does lucky no longer apply to crits?

[plain dune]

guys wtf is FJB CI

[quick pike]

you can use it with a talisman but can't witha staff

[plain dune]

Language is english but why tf play button is cursed

[burnt river]

ahh so should I just not have a staff equipped?

[quick pike]

press G and check the skill > , you can select what weapons a skill uses , just select a talisman for that

[plain dune]

are servers are down?

[frank sonnet]

wow is this the old font bug back from the dead

[calm skiff]

yea they are updating

[quick pike]

new patch

[plain dune]

i dunnoo

oh are they nerfing anything?

[frank sonnet]

buffing the temple mostly

[plain dune]

oh okay

[green prism]

Can somebody explain Cast on Crit? like I generate energy so much slower then others, For example does the crit damage matter?

[plain dune]

i messed up temple so bad cant reacj chambers cuz of poor desing

i hope temples will be reseted

[green prism]

Im just so confused

[plain dune]

can someone explain me why my posionburst and posion skills gaining dmg by physical dmg shouldnt it be elemental dmg like chaos or something

[calm skiff]

no just amount of crits

whats your crit strike chance ?

[green prism]

even more confused then, I had 100% crit chance and I was triggering less than a person with 90% last league

does skill type matter?

[calm skiff]

do you have a nice amount of attack/cast speed ?

[green prism]

was the same speed as them iirc

[calm skiff]

basically, more hits more crits, then you can affect the energy generation with support gems and passive tree nodes

and jewel mods

[green prism]

Thank you

[iron burrow]

can i play entire campaign with friends?

[frank sonnet]

physical damage contributes to the size of your poisons as well as chaos. Chaos is not elemental damage. Here is something to read while you wait for the servers to be back https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Poison

[woven bobcat]

yes

whole thing

vaal temples don't really work properly though

[hollow elk]

honestly, I am trying to replicate this with on-my-level maps, and still it doesnt work. I started the Sekh map in act 2, and quite quickly found the vaal circle. I unlocked it, and started a new instance of the same map immediately. However, in that map no vaal circle would then spawn again ...

[iron burrow]

like seperate instances for both of us or ?

[plain dune]

okkay tysm

guys patch poe2

[green prism]

Im sorry but I just looked at the DB and saw this

[woven bobcat]

no no i mean the in map part of it

[green prism]

which do I follow?

[woven bobcat]

like it won't give progress to your own temples unless you're like both in the circle when the monsters die

[noble lynx]

thanks much

[misty dagger]

lol I was attempting arbiter before the maintenance hit. The keys are gone ofc

[hollow elk]

if anyone knows how to "farm" vaal circles, pls let me know

[quick pike]

you get them in every zone if the zone is not too low of a lvl compared to your lvl , like 5-10 lvls

[calm skiff]

ah yes you're right the gem says modified by the percetage of the ailment threshold the crit deals

[green prism]

that explains alot then

I had less damage clearly

[hollow elk]

yes, but I can't "redo" them immediately to get another vaal circle proc, right?

[quick pike]

if you're in campaign you can reset the zone with ctrl+click if you want to farm in that zone

[hollow elk]

I did that, yet the vaal circle did not appear anymore in the 2nd run (with "new instance" clicked)

tested twice

[calm skiff]

if you're not already doing this, apply exposure or armor break depending on your dmg type and curse to further increase your per hit dmg

[green prism]

Thanks, I wasnt Ill look into ways to do that (tyvm for all the help)

[hoary citrus]

i have an issue, i use sigil of power from my 2nd set which switches me out of +minion skill set, i want when i use my other skills(my ascendancy commands) to get back to set 1, but if i change the pic to only 1 i loose all charges and access to my djinn abilities

[worldly moth]

#i heard theirs a stash tab sale tomorrow, anyone know how true that is?

[calm skiff]

maybe they changed it so that in campaign its once per zone clear idk

[calm skiff]

should be true according to poe2db it starts in 1h40m

[hollow elk]

hmm could be. "Once per zone clear" means basically only once per map in a certain act?

[worldly moth]

E P I C

[calm skiff]

does it say on the abilties that it must be enabled in both sets ?

if so, best you can do is have another skill bound to set 1 only that you use at the start of your rotation so you always press that one before ascendancy commands

[hoary citrus]

i don't know where it would say that, but the commands don't work anymore and they loose their charges, so i need to swap

[calm skiff]

or failing that, manually swap with X

[drifting vigil]

Has the game loaded back in for any of yall?

[calm skiff]

yes I am in

[drifting vigil]

Weird. It says I need to dl update, but when I search for update, it says ive dld everything

This is weird

[calm skiff]

im on steam not playstation though

[drifting vigil]

Still, this is weird bc its actually saying there is a patch I need to dl, but no patch is available for me.

Never had it do this

Weird. Oh well

[sinful crown]

infinite cogs bug, wheres the solution?

[calm skiff]

sounds like the game knows you need a patch but the playstation distribution system does not have it yet

try logging out and back in or something

from the PS system, I don't have a console not sure how it works

[hoary citrus]

no quality for djin?

[drifting vigil]

Cool cool. Ill give it a try and just play something else for a bit if it doesnt work. No biggie

[sturdy tree]

Can download patch on ps5

[hoary citrus]

does this affect djinn?

[quick pike]

I don't think so

[copper spindle]

Does totems work on warrior at all?> i see totem hp and ancestral stuff with them but is it actually viable?

[quick pike]

this works

[hard blade]

So wait whats the level to the amount of jewel sockets on a basic attack? I think it depends on character level or weapon level

[plain dune]

sometimes this loading screen stucks for 2-3 min is it jsut me?

[hoary citrus]

yes thank you, i am using it as well

[quick pike]

on staff,wand is different than on melee https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Gem_socket#Skills_granted_by_items_and_passive_skills staff and wand is tied to the ilvl of the weapon

[calm skiff]

its a weapon skill which level comes from the weapon ilvl FloRyu has the right answer

[quick pike]

some ppl have that problem , you could try to switch the renderer , vulkan-dx12 , or delete the shader cache in appdata-roaming-poe2 folder shader cache dx12 or vulkan

[frank sonnet]

are you on AMD and the driver version it says not to use?
