[tranquil wagon]

you need to complete the acts on every character

oh

i can't read

man this happens to me a lot today

[barren atlas]

not many can. though legends speak of a mighty few who have acquired the skill...

[full matrix]

why are a lot of white items selling for 1 ex on the trade website? is that supposed to be the price of those items? e.g. sapphire ring / heavy belt

[prime wave]

is there any explanation of how breach works? am i supposed to follow the edge of the expanding circle... i can't quite figure out what i'm supposed to do

[tranquil wagon]

bases used to craft/chance them into something good

[dense moss]

Check with alva and doryani or Just run through all acts and see if you dont have a quest bugged and not completed by a chance

[mint pivot]

they are good bases to use chance orbs on with a very powerful unique possible. Dream fragments/headhunter for the two you listed.

[jagged hound]

People are gambling them with Chance Orbs

[full matrix]

ah so if I pick up white items they might actually sell for ex then?

[dense moss]

Gamba gamba with stellar make your dream build after, dream of unlucky rngs like me

[mint pivot]

those specific ones, yes, not all of them

[full matrix]

feelsbad threw away a lot of good bases that were highlighted by loot filter

thx a lot

[lean moat]

any monks here using the passive, Chaos Inoculation?

[short jungle]

okay that is so freaky. Apparently I was stuck in a "Ziggurat present" worldstate. I teleported to a "Ziggurat past" waypoint and now everything's back to normal

[hot fable]

is there a fine gentlemen that is doing trial and can grant me 4th ascension ?

[dense moss]

Aight, what's actually evasion cap, 90%? And is it worth to sacrifice some elemental resistances [lets say make em 50/60 instead of capped or overcapped a lil] to gain more than 85?

With acrobatics on ofc

[tranquil wagon]

defo not 90, i went up to 92/93 on my ranger

[near plank]

95%

[mint pivot]

Do not sac ele res

maybe 1 or two % but I still wouldn't really advise that

[jagged hound]

Dropping 25% ele res is taking double damage

[near plank]

which is why 25% ele pen is a fucked up mod lol

[mint pivot]

It is taking double damage

[near plank]

ggg put in some brutal map mods in poe2

[lean moat]

what is your ES at to make it worth changing?

[mint pivot]

that one is the most brutal by far

that shit is wild

[jagged hound]

I dont get why overcap doesnt work on pen 😭

Adn even then it'd still be brutal af

[near plank]

because that's what makes penetration a distinct mechanic from lowered resistance

[lean moat]

SSF? whats that? pretend im 3yrs old.

[shy sky]

Anyone know why people use eye of winter with Poisonous Concoction couldn’t figure it out

[near plank]

it hits fast, so applies wither fast. it also applies critical weakness debuff to increase your crit chance a lot.

[lean moat]

what was your ES at when you made the change? im at lvl 82 with a 1304k ES

[neon elbow]

Wow it doesn't? That's shitty

[pastel parrot]

Hi I am doing a t1 map and got a strongbox but it says it is locked and I can't opened. I cleared the map btw

[shy sky]

Good for you, I believe it’s more fun and pushes you to use your currency

[fast jasper]

are there just some mechanics in this game that will 1 shot you know matter how geared you are ?

like im doing savanah map lvl 80 monsters the centaur dude did a slam and just 1 shot me ?

I've got 2.4k es and 5.1k mana pool full res capped ?

[pastel parrot]

Anyone know how to open strongbox?

[lean moat]

i have about 34k damage right now i think i may reduce that to get my ES up.

[mint pivot]

don't tank rathbreaker slam, it's giga

monke is the same

[fast jasper]

so that's something like regardless if ur geared or not if it hits u ur basically dead regardless?

[mint pivot]

I mean I've seen people with 20k es or 10k mana, they might survive it

[glacial vale]

What's the most spirit you can get on a sceptre?

[mint pivot]

but I wouldn't risk it becasuse those attacks can also crit

[thick kernel]

when looking on the trade website sometimes i see things like 400 exalted orbs for 1 orb of alchemy, are these just saying they'll trade to convert? and how do i know what rate to use

[lean moat]

can you screenshot this?

[mint pivot]

Just use the currency exchange

[dense moss]

Ah thats why wverybody says to keep that capped at all Times and chaos in second place. I get it why I got shat on so many Times by electrocuted with curse...

[fast jasper]

I'm just trying to set realistic expectations which are either

A) The game is designed around 1 shot mechanics and you just need to get good and not suck

B) The game is designed around being able to out gear those mechanics so they arent 1 shotting you

[thick kernel]

how do i access this

[mint pivot]

the gambling vendors have it (alva)

[dense moss]

Got like a lil too much cold and Fire cuz fire 120 and cold 105 But Ele ilonly at 72 ;-;

[mint pivot]

I can't tell you the game's design intent, it's EA so idk if they intend for no bosses to one-shot or what. But right now I'm telling you some will so get gud

[dense moss]

But the gear i dropped was better than anythong on market so didnt Brother much.. NOW i get why i suck at them high maps

[jagged hound]

Yeah, game is balanced around you having 75% res after around act 3

[plain raven]

probably A

[dense moss]

Ye ye, need to make some changes and dump overcaps for fire and cold and overcap that lightning at least by 15 ;-;

[mint pivot]

Bosses just shouldn't be able to crit, I have no clue why that's still here

Saw someone with like 5k ehp get one-tapped by the monke critting in cruel campaign, not even a map lol

[jagged hound]

To be fair the monkey is built different

Havent seen a boss that comes close to his damage

[pastel parrot]

Is stronboxes not being able to be opened a bug?

[mint pivot]

It was his double spin > slam combo, so deserved death, but still crazy

[fast jasper]

I just think its poor game design to add in mechanic that 1 shots but also makes u lose your map etc

[junior hornet]

dev put "yes" instead of a numeric number for his damage

[lean moat]

ok if im understanding this correctly, you take the chaos inoculation which brings you life to 1. you then change you life flasks to bassically energy shield flasks and with the belt they instantly restore the loss when used?

[fast jasper]

its not fun its not even difficult its just straight up rng/luck half the time

[tidal meadow]

My poison ranger i have about 4k ES plus grim feast, 72% evasion but if i juice a t15 map i get crushed too often. Any advice? Do i need more damage to kill faster before they surround me or my health degenerates from idk what

[mint pivot]

I think when the thing one-shotting you is a well telegraphed boss slam it's fine

just not when it's unseeable explosions on the ground

[lean moat]

im going to try this out.

[unique hawk]

Lower the level a bit you don't need to do tier 15
About what exactly are you missing for t15? Idk more shield?

[limpid rapids]

In this POE 2 map called Augury

[mint pivot]

poe1 training coming in hot

[limpid rapids]

And there's a center of the map that has the rares but can't get there

[tidal meadow]

Well I'm trying to get exp. Not sure T14's will give much exp at level 88

[plain raven]

bruh my t18 had a grand total of 2 rare mobs

[mint pivot]

I still instinctively tap my life flask every time I kill a magic pack of monsters

I can't get rid of it 😭

[tidal meadow]

I tried adding stun threshold bc often my deaths are from getting surrounded and not able to do anything

[fast jasper]

except its not just that he does 2 of those slam things then 3rd big 1 ontop there's bunch of randoms up top that fire arrows that essentially 1 shot u in a volley and u can't even visually see them .....

[jagged hound]

Pull all 3 levers around the map

[fast jasper]

very bad design

[upper solar]

Where do i get the Venom crypt Quest act 3 normal

[mint pivot]

They don't shoot you if you aren't next to the ledge

and the arrow rain only comes when the boss charges

[limpid rapids]

we did, but they're not open

[slender brook]

Hi, if I'm going to fight trialmaster there will be no debuffs from trial?

[jagged hound]

Exit the map and reenter, should make one of the levers unpulled again, they're buggy

[slender brook]

Thanks, its always the same people helping here 😅

[celest forge]

I did countless T15+ maps but it still shows as 0/6, is this bugged?

[dense moss]

Leave to hideout/Town and TP back again. If this wont work Just run around the map for a While, one lever bugged, have this issue all the time

[celest forge]

So weird...

So weird

[limpid rapids]

okay it worked

[celest forge]

yeah they are 15, even I ran corrupted one, it doesnt need t16 right?

im 28/30 on atlas points, already cleared citadels even

would citadel book drop bug this or smt..

[mint pivot]

Random thought, try running it from the ziggurat refuge map device

That thing has some special magic

[fast jasper]

can someone tell me what im meant to do to be able to afford this?

so i should defer it now?

monster level 79

[fleet talon]

does this worth 8 or 15 div? in trade site seems inconsistent

[fast jasper]

whatever that is

[celest forge]

It was only irriidated, maybe needs to be corrupted aswell? would area level matter for quest tho 🤔

[fast jasper]

so defer item now?

[jagged hound]

T15+Corrupted+Irradiated should give me boss skill points right?

[fast jasper]

no

[queen canopy]

For rituals, are you supposed to lure and kill monsters at the ritual site before starting the ritual? (The more monsters killed/revived on the site, the more favour/points?)

[fast jasper]

so defer means itll just keep popping up in that window

until i can afford it

even on diff maps?

[celest forge]

ok gonna try again, even if I delevel with corrupt to 14 perhaps I ran like 10 maps. so weird.

Will do this and report back

also gonna run from ziggurat xd

[swift brook]

It's a high roll. Probably closer to 15. Look for one with your specific roll

[fast jasper]

and itll progressively get cheaper or no?

[jagged hound]

No, only monsters that naturally spawn in the circle count

And they still count if they leave

[dense moss]

Aight NOW tell me how I struggle with t15s But clear chaos trials 80 ;-;

[fleet talon]

yeah im searching with similar stats but theres 1 guuy selling for 8 div, im guessing its bot-like

[trim spire]

Can you carry someone through only the trialmaster final boss or do you have to take them through the whole chaos trial?

[dense moss]

Try contacting him see if he is willimg to sell

[swift brook]

Problem with these is if you rely on them for res cap your only res capped for their duration

[full sleet]

Does anyone know which type of quality will be the most dmg for ice monk for this breach ring? I'm thinking cold but not certain

[swift brook]

Probably

[jagged hound]

Attack

[unique hawk]

Is that ring any good?

[full sleet]

I forgot that's a thing, great thanks!

[mint pivot]

Very good with pillar I'd imagine

[jagged hound]

3 dead mods is pain though

[solid thorn]

what lvl should you try 4th ascendancy? Also which trial is recommended? I don't have anything for chaos trial for 4th asc yet. Im lvl 84

[crystal cliff]

is anyone selling t15?

[plain raven]

84 should be fine, sekhemas is probably easier. if you get 75% honor resistance it should be a breeze

[tawny relic]

I still havent found a citadel, is the area I explored just too small? Its getting a bit tiresome https://streamable.com/nhveo3

[plain raven]

yea you are not that far

they will get more frequent

[mint pivot]

allegedly

[warm lotus]

Distance from start matters?

[plain raven]

thats not allegedly its 100% true, im getting 2-3 citadels every day

[tawny relic]

Ill keep going north then

[fast jasper]

I've prob done 300+ maps and havent seen 1

[tawny relic]

yeah its brutal

[plain raven]

look for spots with 3 towers close to each other like this

[dense moss]

Try searching for 3 things: wooden houses, tents and piramid like buildings [seen on map] and citadels will be really near them

[fast jasper]

cooltip ill try that

[swift brook]

What am I missing?

[plain raven]

its true though once I kept my eye on that i had no problem finding citadels

[jagged hound]

Holy shit we have citadel hunting methods now?

[jolly heron]

How do I tell if the map node is good or bad so I don’t waste good waystones?

[jagged hound]

Login

[swift brook]

It's cutoff

[jagged hound]

Is there somewhere i can see the mods shields can roll? DB doesnt seem to have them

[fast jasper]

I GOT 4

[mint pivot]

I haven't found towers to have correlation, just distance

[fast jasper]

MUST BE EVEN BETTER THAN CITADEL

[jagged hound]

aherm thats 5

[jagged hound]

Burning Monolith

[plain raven]

every citadel is in middle of 3 towers

[tawny relic]

thats to the south, I hope you are right

[fast jasper]

jokes got scammed

just some trees

[mint pivot]

boss node tho

:)

[fast jasper]

jokes just some grass laughs in GGG voice**

[near lodge]

Anyone else sit there and admire the “you have died screen” after dying to an on death effect

[limpid rapids]

a bit

[plain raven]

no I just alt F4

[limpid rapids]

Just sit there in awe at how you die to a practically unavoidable attack

The pops out in .2 seconds

[rose dragon]

Is time freeze counted as a slow?

[fast jasper]

i legit think my map is bugged

[mint pivot]

Personally I haven't seen that screen ever

dying is for noobs

[jagged hound]

jokes on yall i only die because my game is running at 3 frames

[mint pivot]

pro tip

[tawny relic]

yeah the method seems iffy, the whole map is plastered with 3 towers somewhat-close to each other

[near lodge]

It’s even nicer to admire it after not seeing it because it happened in the middle of a pack of enemies

[jagged hound]

Correlation instead of Causation?

[near lodge]

Makes me reflect on life honestly

[tawny relic]

where citadel

that aint it

[dense moss]

Search them buildings i got citadel not even near Tower

[mint pivot]

I'll tell you one way I know for sure you won't get citadels

sadly scrolling your atlas

[jagged hound]

Do currencies not drop in stacks anymore

[mint pivot]

this method has been proven 100% ineffective

[jagged hound]

I keep having to buy wisdoms

[mint pivot]

Only breach splinters

and only when they feel like it

and simu splinters

[fast jasper]

Did you see the guy with teh bricked waystone map ?

he couldn't go out any further

and GGG told him to change leagues from softcore

[jolly heron]

Do I want I want to irradiate corruption before I go into it?

[fast jasper]

to hardcore / ssf

lmao

[tawny relic]

yeah haha at least his search is over

[fast jasper]

cause even if he deleted his toon it be same map

rofl

so when i say i think my map is bugged

i actually mean it

300+ maps

no citadel anywhere

[dense moss]

Aye what

[mint pivot]

that person's atlas saving them from the current economy

[dense moss]

Dayum, maybe then i am not the most unlucky guy

[mint pivot]

good guy

[split willow]

boys, where the hell do I check my accuracy

[mint pivot]

Look at the further details of your skills, next to the damage/dps

[tidal meadow]

I tried to gain a level all weekend long from 88-89, juiced so many waystones and watched my exp go up, and then back down... then i said i give up with mapping, I'm going to level in trials and save this 1 bar of exp i have. Killed the 2 sentinel bosses in trials and put the control down for a second thinking I'm safe, I'm standing in fire. Dead. Zero bars exp. Productive weekend

[mint pivot]

safe but slow going

[tidal meadow]

It really is. I just found the one way to die

[mint pivot]

there are a few ways to die

[tidal meadow]

I can get close to bar and a half there, same with a t15 map but way less death

[full matrix]

does inspiration synergise with unbound avatar? so that it only costs 40 unbound fury to cast? or is inspiration useless for that skill

[mint pivot]

mostly the 5% afflictions vs specific enemies

[tidal meadow]

But I'll be grinding there next weekend

Also i have a relic that gives 12% chance for an extra key and it gives me 2 keys every single time 🤷‍♂️

[mint pivot]

Yes, that is bugged

I've tested it on different%s

it always doubles no matter waht

[tidal meadow]

Ok let's keep that under the radar lol

[mint pivot]

I already reported it :)

[inland musk]

at what point are you supposed to find a mirror? Ive got 450 hours played so far, farming breaches like crazy.

[tidal meadow]

There's only limited good chests anyhow. I'm too lazy to disenchant all that gear at the end

You aren't supposed to find a mirror lol

[mint pivot]

They don't know

[tidal meadow]

That's why it's priced at $999 on websites that sell

[inland musk]

then how are you supposed to obtain it?

[unique hawk]

Never

[mint pivot]

Trade a lot of divines for it to john with 5 wives that dropped it from the bloated miller

[tidal meadow]

Go to website, pay $1000

[fast jasper]

is there a way to add movement speed onto these?

[unique hawk]

You aren't expected to drop it
It only appears cause there thousands of players
People don't even drop divines that often you mostly sell stuff to get divines and mirrors

[tidal meadow]

Find out if magic find affects that drop if you're farming for it too. Might not even have a chance without magic find

[mint pivot]

Exalted orb

[steel prairie]

nice got 1 shoted at the last wave of delarium boss with 7k energy shield and maxed out resses

gg ggg

[fast jasper]

exalted orb failed anything else or gg?

[mint pivot]

I mean you can chaos/annul or buy an omen, but it's all still a gamble

[unique hawk]

Chaos till you remove all the good mods

[rocky karma]

how do i complete tier1 maps?

[dull flint]

#what effect does a tierstone level have? im asking from a perspective of using a Tier 8 +225% Stone vs a Tier 9 +190% on a "good" node - is it always better to use the higher tier?

[mint pivot]

kill all the rares and the boss if the map has one

[tawny relic]

generally, all boots you find that dont already have ms on them you can flush down the toilet. its too unlikely to roll. ofc you CAN always get lucky...

[rocky karma]

oh okay thank you

[mint pivot]

On boots that good you'd be silly not to spend 1 or 2 ex imo

[tawny relic]

I did that a lot and it never rolled MS OR rolled 10-20%, so I gave up on it personally.

You also need it to be 30-35 so yeah..

[crystal wyvern]

Does increased maximum mana shield on passive tree have any effect if you use eldrich battery? i see lots of builds taking these nodes but i was told yesterday they dont affect the mana you get?

[mint pivot]

They do

increased max mana does at least

but not energy shield

unless you have the everlasting gaze amulet

[crystal wyvern]

huh?

[mint pivot]

Read the "converts" underlined term via the ingame glossary by clicking it while holding alt

it will explain how scaling converted stats works

[crystal wyvern]

right so, why are people taking increased maximum energy shield nodes when they use eldrich battery?

[mint pivot]

They are likely using the everlasting gaze unique amulet which converts some of it back to energy shield https://poe2db.tw/us/The_Everlasting_Gaze

Also some energy shield nodes have intelligence/mana inbuilt so it's doubly good in that case

[dense moss]

When do you suggest to change xbow to pillar on gemling, use it since frist ascendacy, łater or wha

[crystal wyvern]

so even though you've converted the enery shield you still have a value or the everlasting gaze to calculate from?

[mint pivot]

It takes the mana and converts some of it back to ES which you can then scale with the ES boosts

I'm not sure if that's intended or not, but it is how it currently works

[tranquil wagon]

reminder to check all the rares on the ground wtf

[crystal wyvern]

it considers that everlasting gaze energy shield, base?

[mint pivot]

Yes

it's post-conversion technically so it can be scaled

[hearty comet]

Just rolled 148% rarity on a map

[mint pivot]

my understanding is that it does ES>mana>mana increase>mana > ES > ES increase

[tranquil wagon]

thats what im in rn

got one more breach to open

[crystal wyvern]

hmm that seems like it'll get fixed but ok i understand their builds now.

[ember wasp]

What should i upgrade? I got 1 div either a +60spirit chest or everlasting gaze amulet.. am playing Lightning Conduit spark archmage

[ornate lark]

are any of these uniques worth anything or should i just destroy them into chance shards?

[opal knot]

gaze is required if you're doing CI MOM EB

[mint pivot]

Widowhail, oaksworn, three dragons are all used, not sure the actual value.

And pillar of the caged god

worth socketing/corrupting thsoe at the least

[ember wasp]

yes that the goal. Cast on shock Light. Conduit with CI.. i guess they both needed.. just need to choose which first

[arctic badge]

is this the best first 2 points spend for breach or should i go for curmbling walls (chance of extra breaches?)

[tawny relic]

vaal that widowhail

[ornate lark]

so these should i try to curropt the rest can be disenchanted?

[tawny relic]

I got 2 div for a 280% (or smth) corrupted

[mint pivot]

socket t hem first

[ornate lark]

its only 240 sadly

[mint pivot]

the corrupt can increase the roll

past the normal bounds

[arctic badge]

for what the bow?

[ornate lark]

so i put 2 sockets in then a vaal orb?

[mint pivot]

Gaze IMO, you can't get a good statted chest that also has 60 spirit for 1 div so you'd be saccing defenses kinda hard

[tepid vapor]

if I have 400% more stun buildup from Seismic cry, and add the 50% more stun support, is that 450% more, or 600% more?

[ember wasp]

good point.. thanks..

[ornate lark]

any good?

[mint pivot]

450

[ornate lark]

2 sockets

[mint pivot]

not really, you're basically strictly looking for the stat on it to get increased past 250% quiver effect

anything else doesn't much matter

[ornate lark]

i will try to sell it for maybe like 5 exalted xD

[sinful osprey]

needs 270% to be good

[fast jasper]

can someone explain to me when i see audience with a king in ritual thing right can i not defer that for entire map until the last ritual of the map

or do i have to defer it as soon as i see it

[prime swan]

is there a catalyst that increases (% to all elemental resistances)?

[fast jasper]

if i dont want to lose it?

[mint pivot]

you don't have to defer it until you've seen all the rituals

[fast jasper]

gotcha

[arctic badge]

you can defer any time but it depends on the cost?

[mint pivot]

deferment is not per altar it is per map/ritual full encounter

[rocky halo]

how the heck do you check your crt rating on controller?

[fast jasper]

but at end of map if u dont defer its gone

[cobalt elbow]

When you have one effect that says
"this skill cannot freeze"
and another that says
"Apply freeze build up on hit"

The first will negate the second, even if the second effect isnt technically being applied to the first but to all hits, yeah?

[mint pivot]

if it's yellow it's safe if it's red you need to defer ASAP

[fast jasper]

thank you

[prime swan]

is there a catalyst that increases (% to all elemental resistances)?

[mint pivot]

Yes

[amber helm]

cant always overrides can

[mint pivot]

cold/fire/lightning would all work, all elemental has all three of those tags

[hearty comet]

Is there a place to find a list of all neck enchants(distills) and what they do?

[prime swan]

thank you!!

[arctic badge]

https://poe2db.tw/us/

[hearty comet]

Thanjs

Thanks*

[cobalt elbow]

its more about effects that have add-on bonuses.
like warbringer anvil's weight passive dealing armour damage equal to damage dealt.

I was hoping it would count as a seprate effect from the skill being used to apply it

yeah yeah its an obvious loophole but im just poking around

[small eagle]

Let me know if this is the wrong place for this.
Is this intentional or a bug:
PS5, Couch co-op
We load up an atlas map, but if we die in map, we cannot resurrect eachother.

[plain raven]

what are these slots for? I cant put anything there

[mint pivot]

waystones I believe, it may only accept delirious ones

[oblique walrus]

its intentionally

[novel flame]

started a ritual, but my minion were trapped outside of the fight zone 😂

[small eagle]

WOW that is hard as heck then. what is the recommended level to run through basic tier 1 waystones? we are both lv69||nice|| and are getting rocked

[arctic badge]

cant you sac them and resummon?

[fast jasper]

does killing mobs before u start the ritual or dragging other mobs into ritual as u start it increase the tribute?

or is it just set amount of spawns

[mint pivot]

Dragging them in, no, killing them yes.

[amber helm]

it's not really about level, more about your gear, passive skill tree, and choice of gems.

[oblique walrus]

69 should be good enough. make sure you have good enough resistances on your gear considering all the resistance debuffs you get throught the campaign

[small eagle]

fair enough!

[small eagle]

This may be the problem. i think we still have a few negatives in some resistances

[limpid radish]

What are considered as chaos damage dealt to monsters in the game ?

[oblique walrus]

yea if they are in the negative i would suggest upping them first before anything

[oblique walrus]

poisin i belive

[amber helm]

not sure what you're asking here

[small eagle]

are there specific good spots to grind for gear/xp outside of the atlas maps? Like can we just run the last dungeon over and over? should we be grinding bosses not zones?

[limpid radish]

20% increase chaos damage on a ring. What is your source of infliction as a pure lightning build?

[amber helm]

do you guys have some exalts / stuff you can sell for exalts like regals, chaos, vaal, blacksmith's whetstone, armourer's scraps?

[mint pivot]

You can trade for gear is the easiest/least tedious. Dreadnought/drowned city are half-decent farming spots in campaign cruel

[small eagle]

We nuked the last boss on cruel so i thought we'd be fine to start the atlas stuff lol. guess not >.<

[oblique walrus]

im not to sure about farming spots tbh but if you have artificier orbs put some on your armour and use the ruen slots for resistances

[amber helm]

none, if you are really pure lightning.

[small eagle]

we do!

[amber helm]

then use those currencies to trade for gear, preferrable with life and resistances

[small eagle]

ok, i'll see how much we can shore up our resisteances just by doing this. most of our runes have been damage and leech related.

[mint pivot]

I'd say 50% all elemental res is ok for t1, but ideally you get 75% which is the cap.

[small eagle]

oh crap! good to know

[amber helm]

you dont deal any chaos damage by default - you need stuff like added chaos on your weapon, conversion from your skills/passives/items, and gain as extra like on acolyte of chayula.

[small eagle]

Thanks for the tips yall. time to start looking for resistance boosts ^_^

[mint pivot]

I feel like there are deadass more essences in campaign than maps, it's wild.

I've found two

running ssfhc fresh runs

[vast turtle]

is this worth alot alot of people are asking for it

[amber helm]

looks mid as hell but ig if there's demand

[grizzled fox]

is there any way to search for specific passives on the trade site for megalomaniac?

[mint pivot]

Idk what that's for

I know the demon form build wants regen but the other stuff seems useless

[rocky karma]

why when i remove this ring it takes away cold res, and it doesnt have cold res

[mint pivot]

but maybe just regen is good enough

[grizzled fox]

15% life regen roll makes it pretty popular

[amber helm]

boots

[grizzled fox]

but i wouldn't say that one is incredible

just pretty good

[vast turtle]

i sold it for 10 ex

[amber helm]

you lose the attributes required to equip your boots

[rocky karma]

oh right, my apologies wtf

im so dumb

[mint pivot]

wtf

that's crazy 1 mod jewel 10 ex

[amber helm]

it's an extremely common mistake

[mint pivot]

attributes are sneaky little fellas

[vast turtle]

ye thats why i asked here it seemed a bit to much but oh well

[oblique walrus]

is it worth to pay for one of the 4th trial carries people sell in game for 1 div? cause its tempting cause im not bothered to farm for those

[blazing wave]

tft has them for like 40 ex dont pay 1div

[worn turret]

can you allocate a passive on an amulet when it is already corrupted?

[amber helm]

not yet

[oblique walrus]

sorry what does tft mean?

[unique hawk]

Try wealthy exile first they are discords for trades you can't do in game

[oblique walrus]

ah ok thanks ill have a look at it

[barren lava]

I went to the burning citadel kinda late in my mapping (knew it was pretty out of reach for me), and when I finally visited it, it seems like it actually changes the map layout, likely spawning the citadels
It cut off a whole area I was pathing to that had 8 towers surrounding it. dunno if this is known, I couldn't find anything searching for it

[split willow]

big brothers, don't you have 2 attempts on 4th floor of Sekhemas?

[mint pivot]

Unless you have some ressurrect major boon, no

[proven haven]

Another noob question, what to do with all the gold collected? I mean there are no useful items to buy, or is there something I miss as new one?

[split willow]

Balbala lied to me

[celest forge]

How much was map stash tab when its on sale? 135 coins? or 140? In POE1

[plain raven]

gamble rings / amulets

[mint pivot]

Gamble, alva ziggurat refuge

or just sit on it and admire it/respec

[blazing wave]

lol was doingf sekkamas final floor and got a no enrgy shield lol im all enmergy shield so i guess rip that

[plain raven]

fubgun sitting on like 150 million xdd

[mint pivot]

Does rarity scale gold?

[amber helm]

yeah

[arctic badge]

still yet to find a citadel 275 hours in 😄

[proven haven]

Aah, will have a look, thx

[small eagle]

does anyone have recommended level suggestions for the second trial of Sek and the second trial of Chaos?

[mint pivot]

Well the entry token should tell you a rough estimated level, but as we said level isn't a great measure of character power in most cases

[acoustic bane]

The first and second trials you use a green quest item that doesn't disappear if you die. So you can always try it, and if it's too hard come back later and you can still use the quest item that's in there

It's the third and fourth trials that will consume the trial item if you die and then you'll have to get another one

[grizzled fox]

anyone have a good method for looking for specific passives on megalomaniac diamonds on the trade site?

so far the best i can find is alphabetic(?) sort from clicking the mods themselves

but that's only among what's on the page already

[unique hawk]

Aren't you 1 game wrong

[grizzled fox]

? https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/rJg8l8MTQ

[mint pivot]

https://youtu.be/gxrEqT_k1wI?t=130

[compact meteor]

is the speed of this skill based off attack speed or skill speed?

[acoustic bane]

Unfortunately the trade site is just missing currently a lot of filters and the pseudos. You can do kind of janky stuff like just scroll down until it stops loading results, then use Ctrl + F to search through everything that came up

[mint pivot]

Both

[compact meteor]

oh nice

[mint pivot]

it is an attack, skill speed applies to both spells and attacks though

[compact meteor]

ohhh

ok that makes sense

thankyou

[small eagle]

I know, that's why I'm wondering what the recommended levels and or good preparations are before doing trial 3 and 4. already tried them both 1 time each and lost my items. >.<

So i wanna plan better for my next attempts.

[grizzled fox]

perfect ty, i had found which attribute filters didn't blank everything but i was still typing the name in instead of the passivehasid

[lusty iron]

this doesn't really work though

there's something missing for megalomaniacs

I've seen lightning rod megalos show up multiple times but despite having the hash I can't search for it under any of the allocates options

among some other options as well

[mint pivot]

Most important is your relics in sekhema, you want 75% honour resistance, any other affix is secondary but +max honor is good

the trial is also generally harder in co-op

[mint pivot]

It's imperfect, but every option seems to be right now

[grizzled fox]

yeah the hash i'm searching for isn't returning either, but i def saw at least one jewel with it

[lusty iron]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Megalomaniac#TheMarket this page will generate the trade site search for every notable you want - just that a lot of the searches don't work

[grizzled fox]

ooh very convenient though ty

[nocturne sedge]

What is the best "distilled" to juice T15 maps?

[small eagle]

So, id assume its probably best to grind relics in the normal trial, then when i get a good collection, try the harder trial with the relics?

[mint pivot]

I typically advise to run any 2 floor trials you accrued in the campaign and from that point the run should be pretty doable.

with the relics you can get from those

you can also trade for relics with players if you wish

[rapid star]

hello i have a question if i buy poe2 on xbox i can play it on pc/steam?

[karmic bronze]

or get a carry for 30ex on tft 😉

for 4th lab

[karmic bronze]

nop for EA it's on the support you buy it for only

[lean moat]

anyone know the ammount of run slots that can drop on a chest item?

[rapid star]

alr thanks

[jagged hound]

2, 3 if corrupted and you get lucky

[tranquil wagon]

im a simple man, i hear a sound i go pick it up

[lean moat]

how many do you have a chance on getting when you corrupt? just 1 or 2 or 3?

[jagged hound]

Just 1

[tranquil wagon]

idk why i couldnt attack after picking it up tho

[karmic bronze]

😄

[lean moat]

so how the heck is it possible for this dude Raxxx to be getting 5 or six slots on a unique???

[mint pivot]

You rolled, classic mistake

[mint pivot]

it's a special unique chest that starts with 4 sockets

[karmic bronze]

special chest that's why

[scenic torrent]

what kinda staff do I want to bump my dmg? This is my staff rn

[spiral yacht]

Streamer privilege

[tranquil wagon]

yeah, im trying to stop myself from doing that but yk

[lean moat]

probably

[karmic bronze]

go phyz staff

[mint pivot]

Rolling just bugs you out sometimes and yo ucan't do anything

[karmic bronze]

read icestrike tootip

[tranquil wagon]

[karmic bronze]

convert phyz

[tranquil wagon]

shouldve put crit runes in mine tho

i think

[scenic torrent]

I had a phys staff but it takes my dmg downb heaps

[split willow]

is there any spirit gem that increases accuracy?

[mint pivot]

precision support on a spirit gem can

[tranquil wagon]

why woudl you want to increase accuaracy

[mint pivot]

to hit the enemies more often typically

[split willow]

attack speed

[mint pivot]

:)

[tranquil wagon]

dude

people are complaining about citadels right

look at this shit

[split willow]

haven't seen a single one yet

[hoary sequoia]

Skill issue

[tranquil wagon]

THERES ANOTHER ONE TO THE LEFT

thats actually kinda crazy

i can fit the 3 of them in a single screenshot

[lusty iron]

lv96 on one chara, alost 92 on another, no citadels

that being said apparently the strat is just to straight line out from the spawn

meanwhile I was just setting up towers / juicy nodes

[tranquil wagon]

im 90 on two characters and these will mark my 10th citadel or so

[lusty iron]

I stopped mapping was just such a waste of time

[tranquil wagon]

yup, i did that without knowing, just going for towers and setting them up

[mint pivot]

yeah finding citadels is completely antithetical to actual good atlas setup

[tranquil wagon]

idk the nodes on my screen are under 6 different breach tablets at once

pretty good i'd say

[mint pivot]

I mean at this point you can do both'

but earlier you can't

[tranquil wagon]

also im doing those on maps with 150base rarity of items, +200 from my gear

hopefully divines will rain upon me

[lusty iron]

yea I just wait for my friends to setup juicy maps then I come in with my MF bot 700% rarity

[mint pivot]

fun gameplay

[slate solar]

Oh yeah that reminds me. Does it matter which direction I go for mapping as far as the citadel things go? It says "find iron/something/something citadel" quests.

[tranquil wagon]

yeah, they're everywhere

[slate solar]

Or are they just randomly placed

[tranquil wagon]

why can't i get such mods on a phys based staff

cmon game

[split willow]

cause u r not using pillar of the caged god

[tranquil wagon]

+200 rarity from gear as well

pls be a juicy map

[wicked scaffold]

Any chance a crossbow player can explain the crossbow implicits "Loads an additional bolt" and "Grenade Skills Fire an additional Projectile" for someone that does not play crossbows ?

[tawny relic]

I had that same thing happening to my map w/o any of the burning citadel stuff and when I relogged it went away

also I think its finally happening

[royal agate]

how do you look for time lost jewel mods on trade site?

[hallow juniper]

PLS HELP! Q: how do you guys deal with lack of jeweller orbs in HC SFF? crafting in SSF is just full garbage it seems? 😦

[split willow]

how can i boost my friend in 4th ascendancy in corruption trial? Do I go to town, invite him and go back into the chaos trial before i open the trialmaster room or?

[mint pivot]

Don't use greaters or perfects flagrantly, most skill function fine with 3 supports and clever swapping. Gear progression is fine ssf in my experience

[tame crypt]

guys how much does the orange belt Meginord's Girdle
Rawhide Belt go for?

[tepid vapor]

after beating twisted domain the first time, can I put in two points to "+1 to twisted domain difficulty" to skip straight to the third difficulty and get 4 more points?

[lethal summit]

how can i get waystones besides buying from the guy? i already emptied his stock

[hallow juniper]

well idk these items you talk about haha 230h gametime and none of them dropped. also my new char hcssf just finisjed act1 and havent got any lesser jew or vaal so idk man how to plan any builds 😂

[fleet steppe]

the 2nd one just means you get an additional proj, don't overthink it
the 1st one means when you load ammo, you get an extra bullet in your clip. Means less when you're loading like 6 or 20 bullets, but when you are doing 1 round clips it can be nice QoL

[mint pivot]

You're complaining about progression after completing act 1?

The help channel is not the place to vent your frustrations at bad drops lol

[karmic bronze]

go tradesite check....

[orchid zenith]

pls tell me i can change that to mana regen without lvling a new char

[tame crypt]

thx

[mint pivot]

no

[orchid zenith]

ffff

[karmic bronze]

nop not for now

[orchid zenith]

back to the beach i guess

[mint pivot]

huffs

[orchid zenith]

its so sad that i can get 260 spirit and only need 90 everything else is pretty much useless

[amber coyote]

can some1 help with the poison boss in act 3 please?

[mint pivot]

On monk 90 spirit is not all you need

which is what I assume you are if you have that much spirit and ur not minions

[orchid zenith]

ill try my gas arrow build with monke now instead of deadeye and there arent many helpfull auras

[whole wyvern]

Which catalyst should i use on this amulet

[mint pivot]

Why not chayula for this then?

Unironically

[barren lava]

Good call that fixed it, thank you

[whole wyvern]

Sad but what else would be worthwhile

[orchid zenith]

what does chalupa give me
its cold explo not poison

[mint pivot]

Sounds like you could use cast on freeze then

[orchid zenith]

tried that but its bugged
no energy on uniques and therefore no triggers

[mint pivot]

rly? Never seen that bug

[orchid zenith]

sec

[mint pivot]

It says it's just based on power

which is the same just based on rarity

so it shouldn't

[orchid zenith]

i tried it in low and high tier areas with different skills
trash mobs give energy
uniques wont

only thing i can imagine is that the conversion bugs something out

[mint pivot]

Feels like it

I haven't seen that bug otherwise

[lament shell]

hi peeps

[strong vigil]

does anybody know if waystone tier affects moment of zen?

[lament shell]

can you do both trials in coop?

friend cant join my ultimatum

[orchid zenith]

are you already inside

[lament shell]

yes

[orchid zenith]

you need to enter at the same time

[strong vigil]

are there any worthwhile uniques to get from it

guess i need to get a T16 map then, I have none :(*

but these traders will never respond

[mint pivot]

is there any unique restricted higher than level 65?

[strong vigil]

going above 10 won't make much of a difference?

[lament shell]

so they cant join at the boss?

[strong vigil]

10 it is

[orchid zenith]

you need to leave and open again

[lament shell]

ultimatums too?

[orchid zenith]

idk if progress is saved but it should be

[lament shell]

his game says cant enter trial that has already begun

[undone geode]

is there a trade channel in here? tired of the website

[strong vigil]

unfortunately these all look garbage

what can ya do

[lament shell]

from which point ,, because im at boss,, and i left to the start and he still cant

[strong vigil]

i was using an overlay and they all seem to go for single exalts

but i suppose it might depend on the rolls

[mint pivot]

I thought people wanted blueflame

still 1 ex?

[orchid zenith]

it should be open from what i know

[distant crescent]

Which lvl unlock the last support gem socket on bases skills ?

damn that's far, thx

[scenic torrent]

Phys staff vs ele staff for ice monk?

[split willow]

how can i boost my friend in 4th ascendancy in corruption trial? Do I go to town, invite him and go back into the chaos trial before i open the trialmaster room or?

[solemn ore]

depends on the build u running

[scenic torrent]

Ice strike crit w charged staff

[solemn ore]

phys

[scenic torrent]

Can u explain why?

[solemn ore]

go in dm then

[stray knot]

How do people manage to get overshield when doing arbiter fight?

[mint pivot]

If they're Invoker, Meditate, otherwise no clue

[balmy hinge]

How to get suffixes on waystones without corrupting?

I see

[amber helm]

scroll of wisdom sometimes

[grizzled fox]

the bigger goof is taking +5 all atr over 10% chaos res in cruel

[mint pivot]

not if ur CI

[grizzled fox]

figured +5 all atr would be great for all purposes and i'm attr stacking anyways

but that 10% CR would be very nice

kind of wild that the other one is easily swappable though and this one isn't

[mint pivot]

similar buff is swappable in poe1 so I wouldn't be surprised if they let you change this one in the future

[orchid zenith]

guys i'm dumb and cant find the corruption implicits on craftofexile or poedb where is it?

[balmy hinge]

Ye ik, just saw this and was surprised.

[mint pivot]

ele pen 😔

[balmy hinge]

Doesnt do anything special

[prime scroll]

Is there any way to make the towers show their effect range?

[balmy hinge]

just shows max and min

[mint pivot]

Look at atlas in ziggurat refuge

[prime scroll]

OH

[mint pivot]

it's very buggy in hideout

[prime scroll]

Thank you!

What an esoteric ass solution

[balmy hinge]

Doesnt show anything (shows U for the modifiers)

[prime scroll]

I would not soon have thought of that

[mint pivot]

the ziggurat map device has many magics

[balmy hinge]

Ah yeah, but doesn't show what the light blue is.

that's what I was asking

Maybe I used the wrong word xd

[mint pivot]

Those are called implicits

and they're from delirium emotions

[balmy hinge]

Oh

Neat

This guy is so easy with spark build

[nimble hazel]

which is best, ritual, expedition, or breach?

[mint pivot]

until you get knifed

[balmy hinge]

I just power sigil, stack it up and 1 shot him basically

[gilded wadi]

They all have benefits - best for what?

[balmy hinge]

Elaborate, what are you looking for.

[nimble hazel]

I am lv 91 an a frost minion build, but im struggling with dying in breaches. Is there another path I should work to? i guess my fps cant handle breach

[turbid kernel]

I find expeditions the least rippy of the 4, personally, if that's what you want

[snow torrent]

does cursed ground put on any downside? does it reduce the curse or anything? it doesnt say so

[orchid zenith]

is there a way to only show corrupted items WITH implicit on trade side?

[nimble hazel]

do I just need to open up lv 79+ logbooks and kill bosses to earn atlas points before farming?

[orchid zenith]

enemy can walk out of it

[barren atlas]

if someones listing of a ton of an item type at low cost but isnt responding to any dms, is that just a price fixer?

[snow torrent]

ohh right

[turbid kernel]

Not sure how to find the boss of that one, haven't done it yet

[turbid kernel]

Probably

[lean moat]

Says it gives me +12 int I'm at 162 but when I equip this it drops to 161....?

[mint pivot]

boss just spawns randomly in logbooks

[turbid kernel]

Is it replacing an emylet that had other stats you needed to equip a different piece of gear that needs int?

[mint pivot]

Just gotta blow up the big underground skull area

[barren atlas]

k. cause the top 20-ish cheaptest 1 exaclt/3alch priced high level waystones ive been trying to buy have all been unresponsive,and I noticed some of em have like 10 waystones up

[turbid kernel]

Level 79 only or is the minimum level lower than that?

[lean moat]

🤦‍♂️

[mint pivot]

I've seen him in 79 and 80 logbooks, not sure if he can spawn lower or not

[trim spire]

When farming chaos trials, is it more profitable to sell the fates or use them to fight the trialmaster?

[turbid kernel]

Oh, way stones are a little trickier. Since if someone's selling way stones they're likely to be selling more than one, and people might not want to leave their map to just sell one for 1ex. But it could also be price fixing.

[barren atlas]

but waystones dont show up on the bulk exchange anyway

[turbid kernel]

I take it that was it? Always the first thing to check when you equip a new piece of gear and a number unexpectedly goes down.

[autumn pumice]

might want to take a closer look. even tablets have bulk sales

[turbid kernel]

Yes, which is why selling them in bulk requires listing them on the trade site (or using a trade discord)

[barren atlas]

are you tyalking about trade site or currency exchange?

cause im pretty sure waystones have been bugged and not showing up on the bulk exchange on the trade site for awhile now

see?

[autumn pumice]

i have bought and sold waystones on bulk site. havent checked recently tho

[barren atlas]

lemme know if you have any luck or if I'm doing something wrong

yeah pretty sure its been bugged for over 24 hours

[turbid kernel]

Oh, I was thinking currency exchange, but it still applies. If you're trying to sell way stones in bulk, you'd lost them on the trade site but might not want to actually take the time to sell a small number

I think a lot of the trade site has been buggy the past day or two

[autumn pumice]

meanwhile nobody wants to sell me any tablets even for 25 ex each

[barren atlas]

so basically they dont realize the tradesite is bugged, and are trying to sell waystones only in bulk and not responding to invidual requests, not realizing that invidual dms are the only way to sell them right now.
got it

[mint pivot]

Just say when you DM you want multiple

[lean moat]

math is hard.......

[turbid kernel]

Or they're hoping people figure out that they're selling in bulk and only respond to people who message them asking for multiple

I've DMed people for a waystone before and had them respond saying they were only selling in bulk

[barren atlas]

given that theyve had the exact same waystones up there for a while now, idk

[lean moat]

someone just told me because i sent them a party invite the price of what i want went up 5 exalted orbs

[barren atlas]

anyway doesnt matter now, found one.
now for my 2nd attempt at a level 16 boss after my houses internet went out for 20 mins during the last one

[mint pivot]

The seller always invites to party, not the buyer

it's unwritten trade etiquette

they also initiate the trade

[lean moat]

[turbid kernel]

It could also just be price fixing or trade site being slow/bugged

[mint pivot]

I'm not kidding, people will get mad 😭

[lean moat]

people need to get a life

[turbid kernel]

I've noticed the number of buyers trying to initiate trade going up and while I won't ignore them or anything, it does annoy me

[mint pivot]

Nah if you haven't agreed to sell the thing getting an invite is annoying

[barren atlas]

inviting the seller is like the poe equivelent of tapping your foot at the counter while the clerk is already helping someone

[mint pivot]

new game new players

[turbid kernel]

It's been happening in PoE1 too

[lean moat]

wow this is funny sorry yall.

[turbid kernel]

A lot of people dramatically overreact to small breaches of trade etiquette but it can be genuinely very annoying to have potentially buyers send party invites or trade requests for various reasons

[mint pivot]

I played trade last league and it happened a fair amount, but I'd barely played trade since before then for like... 4 years or so so I can't really say if there was an uptick or something

[crystal wyvern]

what's the best level to be in relation to the monsters you are fightning? are there exp penalties?

[lean moat]

i get it, but if you are wanting people to buy stuff you should probably not be making demands, i can find legit hundreds of the same item. its all good though ill try and follow the unwritten rules.

its just funny.

[mint pivot]

it's msotly because if they have multiple buyers it's annoying to get a bunch of invites

and then things get confusing

[lean moat]

i can see that.

i was just like ok, bye and did the same thing and bought a different one lol.

[mint pivot]

Yeah idk why they tried to take your ex

instead of just ignoring the trade lol

[lean moat]

to be fair had i known about this i would have followed the rules, i dont like making people mad, just funny.

[barren atlas]

Yay I got my 3rd and 4th map boss points Glad I jumped from t3 to t15 maps before going back to questing with low ones lol

I wanted those first 2 boss passives for all the bosses I fight while doing my lower tiers

[mint pivot]

I mean if ur clearing t15s why not just keep doing those

can clear the quest like that

[barren atlas]

also the boss I just beat was the first encounter that really felt like it had great loot.

[balmy hinge]

I just got a perfect!!! Wonder if selling it is more worth than 5 slotting a gem hmm?

[mint pivot]

unless you're dying more maps than not

[main venture]

What is the going rate for selling the 4th ascendency? Is it just marketed on the Trade chat?

[barren atlas]

cause Im poor and having to buy all my maps lol. Also ive only done them by specficlaly doing low-modifiter maps or ones where the modifiers dont affectm e

[lean moat]

ive got an extra, im doing one now if i complete you can have it.

[barren atlas]

I dont think im geared enough yet to do the average 6-suffix t15 map

[magic pollen]

Hey guys, I'm just working my way through the map quests. Is there anyone in the endgame that'd be willing to sell me a bunch of t15 waystones for cheap? Rarity doesn't matter at all.

[main venture]

Oh I just farm sehkimas and thought I could earn some extra from it, no worries

[magic pollen]

o I didn't see the channel. Thank you

[snow onyx]

Does anyone know how do I get inside a "secret room" on the Seepage map, I've been running around for about 30 minutes and can't find and entrance lol (marked some circles to maybe help with orientation, but I need to get to the rare mob).
Appreciate the help!

[mint pivot]

the diagram 😭

[snow onyx]

Damn

[mint pivot]

yeah it's a bug with the generation

[balmy hinge]

That map is "notorious" for having awful generation.

[snow onyx]

Oh well
Thanks!

[mint pivot]

I think the one I see most often is probably oasis

Seepage is a new one

[balmy hinge]

Bugged 3 times for me

[mint pivot]

yeah savannah too

[exotic gazelle]

fuck savannah boss and his sidekicks that spam spears that stun

[barren atlas]

arent even the story maps procedurally generated?

[mint pivot]

Just don't get speared

[barren atlas]

as in the literal visual map on the menu

cause i notice other peoples act maps are different lookint han mine

and it explains why it has to load for 1-2 seconds every time I open up the quest map

[mint pivot]

my act 1 is upside down sometimes

and I get dizzy

[barren atlas]

cause i assume its regennerating the map from the set seed

[waxen geyser]

Yeah I had a boss completely off the map in one instance. Impossible to complete 🤣

[barren atlas]

honestly one of the worst design decisions in the UI. if youre going to have procederally generated UI elements, dont make them so complex that they either take long to render or cant be stored in ram

[swift brook]

ssf is going stellar for my monk right now ngl

[mint pivot]

damn that staff is juicy

I dropped a unique chest with 50 cold res before I fought geonor on my ranger lmao

[swift brook]

yeah it is, it was in the store with triple added damage, i rolled the rest

[swift brook]

i made geonor my play toy. felt nice after thinking back to my first fight with him in trade

[orchid zenith]

double corrupt exists?

[mint pivot]

geonor had me sweating on my warrior run. I've never seen him do the blood beams+fog phase at the same time, but apparently that can happen

[swift brook]

and the grip of winter is so hot. I never knew i would find this unique useful. freeze buildup means i basically afk bosses

and f4

at the same time

[orchid zenith]

its the trade side

if i search for 2 mods it dosnt find any items but if i search for any specific some have a double mod

[barren atlas]

there a trick to getting your moneys worht out of expeditions? I set up the explosives trigger the thingies, kill the mobs.... and the loot always feel very underwhelming. Maybe half an exalt worth of artifacts

[winter jasper]

Is this what you need to earn more breach skill points? Or is there another you increase difficulty like you do with map bosses?

[mint pivot]

THe remnant mods apply in order, not retroactively

Have to do the best ones first (best ones being logbooks >>>>>>> then rare/runic monster boosts basically)

[winter jasper]

Expedition kinda sucks :/

[barren atlas]

oh wow I had no idea it worked that way. So always do the most rewarding one first, got it

[mint pivot]

Also you need to get a lot of monsters, so if you can't get any more good remnants, just try to blow up as many of the red flags as you can

I think it's good once you get more logbooks+more runic monsters from the tree

[glass blade]

Trial of Chaos - Room 8 - Impending Doom x Escalating Damage Taken x Petrification Statues

What do I choose? kkrying

[orchid zenith]

i asked a guy selling one of those
apparently glimpse of chaos exists here too and somehow it changed into the helmet i'm looking for

[mint pivot]

Doom is ok if you don't have many other ground hazards

[glass blade]

I have Heart Theters and Storm Runes

[mint pivot]

hmmm

yeah prob just cry

[gray plank]

hello, i am having trouble playing the late game. I cannot get enough waystones to continue, like I need lvl 5 or more but now I am stuck with lvl 2, even though I always upgrade them to magic or rare and have all quanity altas passive points. Numerous times it has happened that I got two rare lvl 4 waystone and even though I cleared fully the two maps only one or one waystone dropped (that was lower tier). How do I sustain this economy?

[reef sedge]

how do u modify a unique whn corrupted?

[mint pivot]

by it having the text that says you can do so

[orchid zenith]

its special to this one

[queen canopy]

Is there any content that doesn't penalize playing with your friends?

It seems like all of the "end game" content (trials, maps, etc.) penalizes you for playing with a friend (only instance owner gets rewards, etc.) and it would be better to farm separately. Breaches seem like they are probably best option since the loot is split, but probably still technically better to do separate.

Am I viewing this wrong, or is there an advantage to playing with a group (stronger monsters with better rewards)? If so, what are the best things to do in a group?

[reef sedge]

only thing u can apply to a unique are div and chaos right?

[orchid zenith]

you can split up in breaches and cover more ground

[balmy hinge]

Wtf is wrong with this game??
How does this not equate to 75% lightning resistance?

[queen canopy]

Does this work for trial rewards or rituals?

[orchid zenith]

dont forget quality and rune slots

[somber orchid]

Why i cant add to socket?

[mint pivot]

-60 from campaign

-40 if you got all the permanent res bonuses

[wise crane]

u need stat for it

[somber orchid]

Any help please im new

[balmy hinge]

I should buy a new brain

[somber orchid]

@wise crane what stat do u know?

[mint pivot]

3 div, best I can do

[queen canopy]

That was my thinking on breaches, and so far that seems like the only decent group option (but probably still less benefical than solo farming?)

[balmy hinge]

Better than before I guess xd

[scenic temple]

is it just vaal spam or something

[mint pivot]

group play is far better for actually maximizing your income, but that requires being sweaty. Just casual group play is kinda just worse oftentimes.

[queen canopy]

So is there anything that mutually benefits all members of the group?

[scenic temple]

have you tried just slamming 20 vaals

[orchid zenith]

i'm pretty sure thats a bug
try to go into settings and disable the gem lock option
to be save check if the gem is supported afterwards after you socket the supp in

[scenic temple]

should i

fuck it we ball

[orchid zenith]

idk i'm perma solo cant rly compare

[wise crane]

oh sr look at it wrong there but there are some of the support only can be socket for certain skill so even if u have stat for it, u still cant put it on

[scenic temple]

its like a 1ex unique at best

[balmy hinge]

Is this enough to consider using chaos imuclalaiiliatataion?
or should I am for 3k ES, 3K mana?

[scenic temple]

well it turned into a different unique

wtf

:( bricked

[queen canopy]

Can you elaborate on how group play can be better for maximizing income?

[scenic temple]

actaully wtf thats potentially 10ex

nice

[orchid zenith]

thats 10 more than 0

[scenic temple]

i wanted to 10x corrupt the other helm tho

sadge

[novel crow]

Why is the order of faster curse activation reversed? How is 5 better than 15?

[mint pivot]

Well it has a loot multiplier natively, and you can assign one player to be a MF slave (increased item rarity.) You can also minmax your trading by having more bodies to do so and keep things flowing efficiently. Also also it's way easier to make the person farming the maps insanely overpowered.

[novel crow]

yeah so why is trade showing 5 gooder?

it is

[orchid zenith]

it is

[queen badger]

are you able to ascend within the same trial as the trial masters/party leader?

[orchid zenith]

5-10% evasion
15-5% faster curse activation
you see it

[queen canopy]

Thanks @orchid zenith , @subtle roost , & @mint pivot for the responses! 🙂

[novel crow]

where tf is the copy link

[scenic temple]

just copy the url

[ember swan]

Hey guys, am i allowed to ask questions on this tab ?

[novel crow]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/Yd6YJErcY

First item

[royal widget]

What are you folks doing with equip drops in maps? Pick up good bases? Pick up expert yellows and id then throw if bad?

[gray plank]

so that is normal?

[orchid zenith]

its 5$ per

[balmy hinge]

Its the help chat

ask

[scenic temple]

i might peek at tiered based im interested in but besides that i only pick up armor with quality

[novel crow]

you can see "of chanting" is ordered from 15-5

[mint pivot]

Is what normal?

[scenic temple]

crafting is kinda shit rn and id rather just trade for everything

[royal widget]

i only pick up armor with quality
to salvage?

[gray plank]

that the waystone droprate is not sustainable

[novel crow]

there was something else fked up that was reverse order as well, I don't get it

[quiet umbra]

What is the best mana flask in game currently?

[ember swan]

I have +5 All Spell Skills modifier on Wand and Focus but it does not apply on Lightning Conduit if i socket it on Cast on Shock. If i seperately stock it it gives +5 level. What am i doing wrong ? From the guides i watch on Youtube it gives + level when socketed on Cast on Shock.

[orchid zenith]

i'm only picking up pure currency drops lol otherwise i'm never get out of those maps

[mint pivot]

No it's very sustainable

[scenic temple]

yes, imo its higher value than salvaging for sockets or weapon quality

[mint pivot]

take waystone drop nodes on the atlas tree and use your best waystones on boss nodes on the atlas

[exotic gazelle]

lvl 88 is cursed just saying

[scenic temple]

it does kind of suck that you need to put like 80% of your atlas into sustain and even then you can get unlucky with a boss even with a good waystone and get nothing

the current state of the game definitly needs work but its not as bad as some people make it out to be

[mint pivot]

Idk I specced out of waystone sustain entirely once I was comfy in tier 15 and I've been fine

[glass blade]

Chose Petrified and managed to win

[ember swan]

Anyone has an idea ? I asked someone else but they did not know

[orchid zenith]

i have no waystone drop chance and all hidden up to tier 13
still enough sustain no idea what you doin

[lyric jolt]

I’ll generally pick up rare expert weapons/boots and all jewelry. If I see a tiered item I’ll probably pick it up unless it’s just a terrible base

[gray plank]

im stuck at tier 5, with having no waystones....

i have no idea what am I doing either, just want to play the game...

yea but to get to lvl 5 i need to spend like million gold

[orchid zenith]

then farm some t1

[prime scroll]

Does anyone know if tablets can irradiate already irradiated maps?

[mint pivot]

You should be sustaining fine with that as long as you're running bosses

[gray plank]

ahh I am not running them much, i was saving them for later

will do that

thank you, gl with drops

[placid sleet]

how exactly do they nerf items if u have a corrupted that goes over the cap

like what happens to them

[vapid forge]

poe noob running maps, is it even worth picking up blues and yellows that arent a higher tier?

other than dismantle fodder

well im running maps

t15

got plenty of low tier orbs

im not going to get anything worth while unless its a tier 3+ item right?

or even a t1

[mint pivot]

You never know

[lyric jolt]

You can get good untiered, just need more luck

[mint pivot]

[vapid forge]

wont the rolls be low if it isnt a tiered item?

[novel crow]

wow I just got a query about my poe1 build 6 months after I last posted on it lol

[vapid forge]

is that me giving up

just before my big pay day

[unique hawk]

Just found an Spider Woods map! I hadnt seen it before

[mint pivot]

Yeah that's you if you don't ID every yellow

[vapid forge]

https://tenor.com/view/no-nooo-noooo-omg-omg-no-gif-12379692

[mint pivot]

but on the real I'd prob pick up all jewellery and only the best expert bases

then tiered items

[unique hawk]

[vapid forge]

[mint pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/you-wo-joker-joaqu-gif-23924191

ssf btw

[unique hawk]

Does never sink filter bad bases in high tier maps?

[vapid forge]

i think it only filters out scrolls lol

[mint pivot]

(I filter out every item my character can't use because I get overwhelmed if I try to save gear for other builds.)

[unique hawk]

It has an optional rule for magic items you could modify that

[vapid forge]

does it? i never noticed any options

then again i am an idiot

[vapid forge]

ooh baby

when he releases his full filter

[novel crow]

finally gonna enable MOM, wish me luck

[vapid forge]

i imagine i will have a lot of options?

whats MOM

[tranquil wagon]

man i kinda wish those uniques didnt drop so much

its jsut clutter atp

[mint pivot]

this guy hates chance shards

[unique hawk]

he is getting adopted

[tranquil wagon]

i aint going back to ho with every full inventory of chance shards to disenchant them

[mint pivot]

also why are those gold piles exactly 5000

are u hacking

[novel crow]

mind over matter

takes dmg from mana before life

but halves your mana regen

[tranquil wagon]

idk actually

i think its a filter thing

i changed my old one

[unique hawk]

respected all the energy shield nodes already?

[balmy hinge]

Man if only my loot was like that

just spend 5 exalt to get 2

175% rarity map

[vapid forge]

5?

you should only have to spend 3 right

[balmy hinge]

I bought it

[vapid forge]

oh i thought you meant spending ex to beef up your maps

[tranquil wagon]

man this isnt even a high rarity map

[mint pivot]

All the rarity hype is driving people to insane things

[balmy hinge]

I want a piece of the luck

I did get a perfect jeweler orb

[tranquil wagon]

my rarity comes from here ig

[vapid forge]

my kings are consistent

[lyric jolt]

Shoutout to lightning catalyst for getting me exactly to capped res

[vapid forge]

i just listed a call of the brotherhood for 1 divine and someone wants it

did i underprice it

i just randomly set it

idk what it is

[prime scroll]

I've got a corrupted Zen garden, how important is it that I manage to irradiate it?

[tranquil wagon]

bro be my guests take waystones too, my stash is full as well

[prime scroll]

I.e. what uniques are available only at level 82+?

[orchid zenith]

they are like 40ex, some ppl just dont check for that

[vapid forge]

i feel bad

[unique hawk]

This the market are you a wolf or a sheep

[orchid zenith]

a hooman with conscience

[vapid forge]

im a bad man

[ember swan]

Guys, I have +5 All Spell Skills modifier on Wand and Focus but it does not apply on Lightning Conduit if i socket it on Cast on Shock. If i seperately stock it it gives +5 level. What am i doing wrong ? From the guides i watch on Youtube it gives + level when socketed on Cast on Shock.

[vapid forge]

a bad man who need divs

[mint pivot]

mr pistols is a capitalist if nothing else

[vapid forge]

maybe he will learn from this

maybe im not so bad after all

[unique hawk]

Thats it lie to yourself so you can sleep

[vapid forge]

maybe the real trades where the lessons we learned along the way?

🥰

[orchid zenith]

sounds strange and didnt encounter it before
did you check the gem info maybe its a visual bug

[tranquil wagon]

suffering from success stash full

[balmy hinge]

Isnt putting emotion on map almost always worth it?
You get to fight an extra boss.

[vapid forge]

why would i want to do that? i dont want to fight anything

[orchid zenith]

quad tabs exist for a reason

[vapid forge]

[unique hawk]

You always get a boss?!

damm where is the turorial for this things

[tranquil wagon]

i atually need to buy more tabs its becoming unbereable

[orchid zenith]

you can also reforge tablets if you dont like them

[tranquil wagon]

damn im not leaving any chests unopened from now on

[lyric jolt]

Next 10 thousand chests: augmentation orb

[tepid vapor]

is extra damage calculated after added damage?

[orchid zenith]

yes

[tranquil wagon]

i think its time

[orchid zenith]

to die

[tranquil wagon]

im a believer

[orchid zenith]

i believe you die

[scarlet cairn]

what do i do with t15s that are terrible for me, can I reforge them?

[lyric jolt]

No and it’s dumb

Save them for towers ig

Or waste all your chaos orbs like me

[orchid zenith]

or sell them for gold

[tranquil wagon]

dude arbiter of ash 1 is so ez wtf

also, rare drop?

[lyric jolt]

Tier 1s just kind of die instantly yea

Nice

[mint pivot]

vaal

[tranquil wagon]

one sec i will vaal

this one i want to vaal with the omen right?

[mint pivot]

idk

[tranquil wagon]

got rarity and max hp

[grim crest]

Whats the accuracy rate to accuracy % conversion? For example, how much accuracy % is 600 accuracy rate?

[tranquil wagon]

yep yep

added qual

so, with omen or nah?

oh i can't afford this omen rn

its 65 or so

ima just send it

ezpz

dont even worry about it

[amber helm]

it depends on monster evasion which depends on monster level which depends on area level which is correlated with progression

so, generally, you need more and more accuracy the further you progress.

[grim crest]

The conversion depends on those? theres no formula conversion?

I get that, im just curious about the conversion from # to %

cuz saying 600 accuracy rating tells me nothing

[amber helm]

im saying that it depends on a variable you haven't given (monster evasion)

[grim crest]

Im just asking for the conversion

[amber helm]

poe1 formula (not sure if it's the same)

[restive relic]

does anybody have some examples of what bis sceptres look like?

for any build lol

[amber helm]

you can try searching it up instead of asking

"accuracy poewiki"

[solid crater]

what are the ideal stats for a scepter? i managed to roll +%spirit +mana +strength so idk what else should be slammed

[tranquil wagon]

ngl i thought morior is worth a bit more than 1-2 div with those stats

oh well
