[hearty comet]

So if u want a specific stat, and its a prefix and u hit the item and get 3 prefix and NONE are the one u want

It cant get it from more exalts

Because only suffix space is left

[pulsar hollow]

is there a general thing i can go by to know whats prefixes and whats suffixes? or do i just need to learn it all?

[hearty comet]

I just kinda learned it

For my own class

Idk all the rolls

Just ones I need

[storm sonnet]

is there a way to recognize nameless rituals?

[hearty comet]

Like phys dmg is prefix, stun build and melee skill is suffix

[pulsar hollow]

i see

[hearty comet]

I think max hp is prefix

Element resists are suffix

So is leech

Idk them all

[austere igloo]

Hey, I had spare char crit invoker, and I thought to rebuild to sort of attr stacker.
Crit chance was 50%~
Crit multi 500%
Tooltip close to 100k.
Evertything dies, including last both(even without Avatar skill), the Xeth tho didn't want to die that fast, but still kinda easy to kill.

So I did attr, got 220k on tooltip, map still fast, map boss is extremly faster then before. Crit is 25%, multi is 300%
But somehow I do zero damage on Xeth. Like my shit-tier corpsewade pathfinder do more damage
Is that because of 500% multi? Does people stack multi beside attr, or they base their damage on something else?

[viral blaze]

best of luck!

[pulsar hollow]

and is engaging with expedition crafting worth it?
or should i just sell the things i get?

(in endgame)

[crystal obsidian]

help

[subtle hamlet]

Like items or waystones ?

[viral blaze]

just buy them xD

but yeh unlucky af

[subtle hamlet]

I actually have the right one lol

[viral blaze]

skull is the cheapest right?

[river violet]

I have medium knowledge of most things in the campaign. But I am abysmal at endgame in poe. I have no idea how citadels, pinnacles, or any late mapping stuff works

[crystal obsidian]

Oh, I didn't know I could lol

[pulsar hollow]

items (to sell)
waystones i used to slam, but juiced t15 maps oneshot me way too much, so i just upgrade to rare and thats it

[subtle hamlet]

It depends on how much you're willing to invest. Generally you find the main stat they want and work off that.

If no main stat don't bother

[uncut fiber]

Sorry guys, probably asked a lot but what guide is easiest to follow on Titan? And what content should I do? I’m lvl 74 and still can’t get my 5th and 6th ascendancy

Maps give so little XP and currency is hard to get atm

[subtle hamlet]

5th and 6th ?

The last two ?

[pulsar hollow]

probably means 3rd, counting the points you get

[arctic crag]

same, (but you are probably being humble), I have done acts on 3 chars and halfway through acts on another 2-3 but I found and failed my first citadel yesterday. Mostly ended up farming sanctum as I am trying to learn now to make currency efficiently in this game and looks like that might be the shortest path.

[uncut fiber]

Ah sorry yeah you get 8pts total so this is third trial?

[subtle hamlet]

Which trial are you doing.

[arctic crag]

each gives you 2 points

4 trials -> 8 total points

[uncut fiber]

Sekhemas lvl 60+

[delicate arrow]

if you're strugglin in sekhema get honour resist

biggest tip I can give

[subtle hamlet]

Stay away from afflictions. Grab ornate dagger boon+ hare foot. Also getting as much honor resistance until 75%

Plan your route

[uncut fiber]

That’s the problem, I have to trade for everything 🤣

[subtle hamlet]

Wat

[delicate arrow]

not for sekhema. relics will drop during every run. keep the ones that give honour res

then use those on your future runs. honour res makes sekhma a joke

[subtle hamlet]

Theyre the little urns/ tapestry that drops during suckooma

[delicate arrow]

one of them is a vase

[subtle hamlet]

Spitoon

[delicate arrow]

yes spitoon mb

[subtle hamlet]

Yes

[uncut fiber]

Yeah I know but I have 1 barya left

[subtle hamlet]

[uncut fiber]

Can those be bought cheap?

[subtle hamlet]

Generally, yes.

[delicate arrow]

yeah they drop like candy

[subtle hamlet]

In end end game

We dunno how far along he is

[delicate arrow]

I found every run drops a ton of them

[uncut fiber]

Lvl 74, tier 5 maps

[subtle hamlet]

Uhhh either buy a carry or save your baryas and farm until you get enough honor res

[viral blaze]

this worth anything D:

[uncut fiber]

Oh yeah no. Buying carry is out of question. What’s the point in playing at all then?

[viral blaze]

it has +5 level of all project skills

ik base dmg trash

but still

[subtle hamlet]

My man. Gigachad

[hearty harbor]

I just reached mapping, and have to do them? Is this after the act or still part of act?

Also, is there a general right way to do mapping or just close eyes and pick one?

[subtle hamlet]

Then just play the waystones until you get a stock of them

[uncut fiber]

Sorry it’s maybe a little rant. But thanks for responses guys

[subtle hamlet]

No cold

[uncut fiber]

Titan is so slow, it gets better once I have currency and better stuff?

[hearty comet]

Ur all good dude

Buying carries is L A M E

[subtle hamlet]

No worries dude. It can get frustrating sometimes. (I explode and lose 10% of my max exp bar and I'm lvl 93).

[hearty comet]

Im a Titan

[subtle hamlet]

That should be the goal/plan brother.

[hearty comet]

Cleared all t4s

If u have any Qs

[viral blaze]

rip xD

[hearty comet]

I dont have every answer but I can prob answer some

[subtle hamlet]

Someone will probably buy it.

[uncut fiber]

Do you have any build for like after act transition to endgame?

[uncut fiber]

Yeah this game is brutal compared to Diablo but I like the challenge

[subtle hamlet]

Maxroll/mobalytics for a general idea on what to build for.

[hearty comet]

Uh, if youre looking for like

A patchwork setup to run for t1 maps until you figure out a better more specific one

Id say-

Slap a devastate support in stampede with armor explosion and increased radius supports for your clear

Use your hammer of the gods for rares/mapping bosses

[uncut fiber]

You are a saint

[hearty comet]

Once you get more passives and get more specific

It changes a lot

[uncut fiber]

Thank you

[hearty comet]

With that^ you should stun everything with stampede, the stun triggers armor break and then explodes them

Just as a temporary setup

To get you rolling

[uncut fiber]

Yeah I’ve been doing 0,6s earthquake but I think I’m making the game unnecessarily difficult (except bosses, bosses just die ez with 2x boosted HotG)

[hearty comet]

Stampede for us generally is used in every build for clearing, just in diff ways

Bossing has more variation

If you slap some dmg into hotg it will just delete any rares and map bosses

[limber violet]

why do so many ppl corrupt items when they aare selling them or why are the items corrupted?

[hearty comet]

1. The corruption made it better
2. It made it worse and they tryin to sell it off

[subtle hamlet]

Chance at enchantment

[hearty comet]

Corruptikn can add sockets, bonus stats, etc

It can also ruin the item

[dull falcon]

some bug, you can still kill the boss if your time run out, just used blink

[limber violet]

i still dont get corrupted items completly what does it do to the item?

[hearty comet]

And change ALL its bonuses

25% does nothing
25% ruins item (changes all its stats)
25% adds enchant
25% adds socket

Or am i tripping
@not_.you

I know its 4 possibilities

Split evenly

[oblique dust]

what is this woth?

[subtle hamlet]

Probably nothing

[oblique dust]

Sadge

[subtle hamlet]

75+ you'll be wanting +4s and +5s anything

[subtle hamlet]

You can also just slot in those stats

And lower the baseline for each one until someone shows up

At "auction house" kek

[uncut fiber]

Thanks for advice!

[brazen hull]

Hello, is there a ascendency carry channel here ?

[oblique dust]

https://tenor.com/view/pout-kiss-blowing-a-kiss-suspense-christian-bale-gif-16931550113965916217

[subtle hamlet]

Price check/ trading

[keen valve]

you can't get more than +2 on foci's

[brazen hull]

Thanks !

[subtle hamlet]

Gg rip.

[hearty comet]

But you should do it yourself anyway

[keen valve]

check the market if it's worth anything

https://poe2db.tw/us/Foci#ModifiersCalc

[oblique dust]

some guys is for 600 div so i did mine for 300 xd

[subtle hamlet]

35 exalts take it or leave it

[keen valve]

you should try it with a realistic price

[subtle hamlet]

I kid I don't even use focus

[hearty comet]

The people posting for that much are lookjng for RMTers to buy it

Nobody is spending hundreds on one item

[analog river]

What’s better…. A +4 minion skill scepter with 100% increased Allie damage or ….just a +5 minion skill scepter?

[subtle hamlet]

"Mirror of Kalandra"

[hearty comet]

Unless they bought their currency or they have literally nothing else in lofe to do but poe2

[subtle hamlet]

Probably first one

Ye

[analog river]

I’m running skele snipers which are 100 physical damage…. I can get a +4 with increased damage and allies deal # to physical damage as well way cheaper than the +5 scepter. Might be better for sure

[hearty comet]

He knows it os. It doesnt just drop. Its either bought or hes meming

Also trolling is possible simply because pfp is teemo

[subtle hamlet]

Chase the magic scpetor. I have one that has +19 skeletons at lvl 84 and in chasing the +4/5 minions

[oblique dust]

XD

[brazen hull]

There is no one on poe2exchange who sells ascendency carry 😭

[subtle hamlet]

Uhhh trade chat in game usually have them often. 120-280 exalt depending on time of day/ person

[arctic crag]

Are there any drawbacks to farming level 75-79 baryas? Will Zarokh still drop the loot from his table?

eh I'll check the ilevels myself actually nvm

[subtle hamlet]

Lol

You trying to carry the 3rd one?

[arctic crag]

no just farming

[hearty comet]

Farming always over lvl 80

[arctic crag]

looks like the valuableones are ilvl 82

so def 80+

[hearty comet]

I did 80 and 82 baryas over the weekend

[arctic crag]

damn

[hearty comet]

Ended weekend with 100d

(Not counting last flame)

[arctic crag]

yea I have started doing this as well, its been great

[subtle hamlet]

Ye they're rare af

[arctic crag]

I got 2 desp alliance and sold yesterday

[hearty comet]

Yea those are nice litttle 3.5d sales

[arctic crag]

and also got so lucky that I got a raw div drop yesterday and day before

[ivory forge]

Just curious, what's the point of checkpoints in maps when death removes all portals anyways?

[hearty comet]

Look fir time lost chests

[naive jungle]

Are the skeletal arsonists considered attack speed or cast speed?

[hearty comet]

They can roll for 25d

Theres also a unique gem chest that can drop one worth 13d

[subtle hamlet]

AS

[arctic crag]

I got really bad ones, mostly red ones with totem etc

[naive jungle]

Ty

[arctic crag]

spectrum?

[hearty comet]

Yea think so

[arctic crag]

havent seen one yet

[hearty comet]

Ive seen 2 in the whole weekend

Lol

[subtle hamlet]

Spectral,lost time, depression, etc etc

[ivory forge]

Guess nobody else knows either.

[subtle hamlet]

Back tracking

When the rare is across the map

[ivory forge]

Oh. Eh. The maps are small enough, it just takes a sec to cross them.

[arctic crag]

I only started this a couple days ago, done maybe 10 total and got 3 desp alliances. Running 62% relic quant atm.

[subtle hamlet]

Imagine walking/ running the entire way back to the beginning for penitentiary

[wanton dawn]

the maps are not small

[subtle hamlet]

You'll see

[wanton dawn]

u trppin

[arctic crag]

Thanks to Lotte's advice.

[subtle hamlet]

There's this snow/mountain biome map thats fkng huge. Painge

Alpine or some crap

Never again

[fair hinge]

Just did my first Arbiter kill and he dropped the morior invictus. was that just really lucky or does he always drop a unique?

[subtle hamlet]

Rng

Atlas tree makes it more consistent

[amber helm]

always drops a unique, just not always morior

[subtle hamlet]

He gave me his fking boots.

Screw him

[amber helm]

the balance is so wack

gloves and boots completely useless

helmet is for like 1 niche build

[fair hinge]

oh wow, i didnt realize that his other drops are pretty bad, so damn just lucky

[amber helm]

... and the body is used on every high end character under the sun that isn't using temporalis

[subtle hamlet]

Either I kill him so fast he can't do anything or I get insta gibbed

[subtle hamlet]

Stat stacking true end game mfers who look like they borderline rmt

Forgotten what grass is

[ivory forge]

Not sure how many exalts I've dumped on random things I end up vendoring but I feel like this shield is the first time I've put exalts onto an item and been happy with the results.

[subtle hamlet]

Mans full sending armour

[ivory forge]

I'm at 90%.

[subtle hamlet]

Any other sources of DR ?

[amber helm]

90% is an estimate

[ivory forge]

Nah, just armour and the shield.

[subtle hamlet]

Whoa

[ivory forge]

This guy helps a lot.

[bold mortar]

what are some sources of %HP per kill?

[spiral trellis]

anyone got an idea on why one of my characters just wont load?

i crashed and then reloaded and i can play other characters but not the one i crashed on

[subtle hamlet]

Maybe reverify?

[onyx copper]

i just put my 2nd 80+ logbook in and there is no boss
does the boss spawn rng%

[spiral trellis]

nvm it worked

[subtle hamlet]

Bruh

[subtle hamlet]

Rng af I had to use 4 before I saw my first olroth

[onyx copper]

damn

[fair hinge]

omg almost made massive mistake with my Morior, its a unique so i didnt realize that its mods could be different

[subtle hamlet]

[wanton dawn]

:Plink:

[fair hinge]

was pricing it, and like oh so 200 ex, not realizing that mine has +mana and spirit

[arctic crag]

yea I tried 4-5 and gave up early season

[onyx copper]

i only wanted my 4 points

[subtle hamlet]

It's not like you can't change it lol

[ivory forge]

I watched a video where some kid mentioned that the Trialmaster's shield sold for like 20div. So I was really stoked when it dropped, but then saw that it goes for 1.

[arctic crag]

I havent even seen that boss

I heard he is very hot

[subtle hamlet]

Mahu mahu mahu mahu

[onyx copper]

[fair hinge]

well, i was thinking in my mind that 200 ex isnt that much, maybe a little vaaling would make it worthwhile

[subtle hamlet]

Time to sell it for more

Do I vaal my howa/headhunter hmmmggeeee

I think it'd be useless for vaal headhunter unless it gets a rad perk

[ivory forge]

Maybe I just really suck at crafting but I feel like any time I use currency on an item it just ends up being lost money.

[subtle hamlet]

Bad base = kill it

[ivory forge]

Does the tier matter for crafting? Like is it only worth dropping orbs on T5 stuff?

[subtle hamlet]

Technically they can roll higher based on levels you found them at,but uhhh gambling is gambling you just need to stack it in your favor

[pulsar hollow]

i kinda wanna focus on and level up expedition, cause its kinda fun
but using a 150EX item just to have a chance to get atlas tree points feels not that worth...

[subtle hamlet]

It isn't

Until you level up atlas

[pulsar hollow]

yeah but im specifically trying to level up atlas...

[subtle hamlet]

Catch 22

[pulsar hollow]

the uncertainty is annoying though

[tropic estuary]

Hi, i just finished the campaign, and it restated the game, i don't know what i'm supposed to do, do the campaign again ?

[fair hinge]

so the way it works is the type of base is one of the most important factors, like Iron Cuirass > Vaal Cuirass usually because of higher base stats. Then its the item type (idk the term) but Expert > Advanced. Then the final thing that you dont really think about is the item level. So an Expert Vaal Cuirass is at least level 79 but the highest roll possible for things like Reistances isn't possible until item level 82. Doesn't mean that a level 79 Expert Vaal Cuirass can't be good, but it has a upper limit on how good. Most notable is on the +Skill level where only the high level ones can do +5.

[subtle hamlet]

It is on cruel now.

[pulsar hollow]

if you finished act 3, you have to do cruel now, which is a hard version of the campaign as a placeholder until act 4-6 are done

then you get to endgame

[subtle hamlet]

Expert >advanced ...superior just means it has quality added onto it.

[tropic estuary]

so i have to do all of it again to do the endgame ?

[ivory forge]

How can you tell the item level?

[subtle hamlet]

Yuh

[subtle hamlet]

Press alt when you hover over an item

Itll tell you the lvl you found it at

[ivory forge]

Oh. Damn. That helps.

[subtle hamlet]

And depending on your filter settings it'll also highlight "max" lvl stuff

[ivory forge]

So as long as an item is 82+ it's capable of full potential?

[fair hinge]

with all that in mind, you can still roll an insane item on an advanced base, but its just less likely

[subtle hamlet]

^^^

[fair hinge]

depends on the item, like wands its 81

[subtle hamlet]

Until more acts and updates roll through, ye

[subtle hamlet]

Wands

[fair hinge]

atm crafting is just gambling, i would say if the item is already pretty good slamming an ex or two is worth it. but if you aren't currency rich you might want to just sell for what you can rather than gamble

[subtle hamlet]

Leveling my LA ranger through cruel acts is pretty fun

[ivory forge]

How do I get to level 82? Does it just require irradiated, etc. on the maps?

[subtle hamlet]

Irradiated/ corrupted/ boss

[ivory forge]

Gotcha. Thanks.

[subtle hamlet]

Then a xvi waystone

[ivory forge]

I've just been running XV, guess that's a waste.

[subtle hamlet]

You could possibly get lvl 84 gear

[fair hinge]

personally ive stopped picking up white bases that aren't max level because gambling on the lower ones just takes to much time and rarely pays off

[subtle hamlet]

Corupted citadels are criminal

They're evil especially the copper one

The spastic jumping dudes are pain

[haughty haven]

Have they changed arbiter of ash mechanics?

[subtle hamlet]

They still one shot but you can multiple tries

[steep egret]

whats the way to increase chances of dropping more fragments from citadel map bosses?

[fair hinge]

thank god for that, i died 5 times before i won...

[haughty haven]

My dps means that hes bugging and stacking mechanics

[subtle hamlet]

+waystone drop chance

[steep egret]

so odd i thought itd be quantity of items

[haughty haven]

Im lvl 90 and its my 10th try lol

[subtle hamlet]

Slam irradiated tablets that have +waystone quanity/rarity towers around citadel

[haughty haven]

hes doing the flame wind mechanic sometimes first...

[subtle hamlet]

300% gives 2 600% gives 3 and boss atlas tree perks gets applied as well

[fair hinge]

The issue i was having was 2 fold, one the distance between the wind gaps was literally further than i could run in that time, and 2 my flame wall made the rings really hard to spot right away

[subtle hamlet]

Basically how you force the multiple drops

[subtle hamlet]

Jade rabbit was goated for this fight

Other resistances besides maybe fire from his "basic" abilities seems useless

[fair hinge]

i currently have +30% move speed boots but i think this fight is convincing me to invest in the +35%

[carmine sparrow]

Blink on weapon swap

Your best friend

[subtle hamlet]

I have 30% boots and the amulet it was close sometimes

[wanton dawn]

30% in 2025

fucking hell

[subtle hamlet]

I've seen 35% once and I had shit rolls

Depression

Well i go farm for more logbooks/omens. See yall in a bit.

[fair hinge]

wtf, i just tried him again, i thought he didnt do the one shot moves in phase 2?

[subtle hamlet]

It gets "enhanced"

Lmao

Gl gl

[fair hinge]

smh

[subtle hamlet]

I don't think you can esc mid fight as well

Since he's considered Pinnacle

[fair hinge]

its okay beat second attempt now that i was ready for it

[subtle hamlet]

Just freeze him to death

[coral grove]

Does anyone know if death toll, the minor bloom will proc if you beat Zarohk? procs in 8 rooms, I don't have 8 rooms left

[carmine sparrow]

It will proc if you do 8 rooms

[coral grove]

zarohk is in 2 rooms, and if I can just get 3 random minor boons, hell yeah

[carmine sparrow]

Yea

[coral grove]

this sounds like a hell yeah moment :)

[fair hinge]

what item does this?

[carmine sparrow]

Its not an item. You put cdr shield on weapon swap and allocate blink to work only on second weapon set

Then you swap weapon sets -> blink -> swap back

[bold mortar]

i've made a 2nd character and, i skipped the first 2 trials in Acts 1-3. I'm now in Act 5 and, I want to get all 6 points at once but, my quest is stuck on "Search Traitor's Passage", and I can't find the trials of sekhema. I've scoured the map.

i also can't telport there directly

[carmine sparrow]

You need to kill balbala at least once

[hearty comet]

Search traitors passage for the djin u fight kill it and get the barya

[carmine sparrow]

On each character

[bold mortar]

yeah i killed her in act 2 and just now in act 5

but i can't physically go to the trial of sekhema

i've also previously killed her and had access to the trials

on my level 93 monk

[carmine sparrow]

Have you tried going there via the map xdd

[bold mortar]

yes im saying it's greyed out

i can't find it in the traitor's passage

[carmine sparrow]

You need to go with the caravan each time

[bold mortar]

and i also ccan't tp there

yes with the caravan i can't go there

[carmine sparrow]

For the first time

Try to do that in act 2

[bold mortar]

can't use caravan there

and i've searched the entire map

so you're saying i should try to go to trial of sekehemas back in act 2?

[wintry aspen]

hey guys i wanna get t16 maps. should i care about t15 maps that im gonna corrupt on modifiers etc.

[carmine sparrow]

Yes

[carmine sparrow]

Yes, because if it upgrades to t16 it wont reroll mods

And they are far more important than map tier

[wintry aspen]

can you inform me a bit

how i decide if its worth to upgrade

corrupt*

[carmine sparrow]

Usually people just slam vaal on every waystone they have

And then run the good maps

T16 are mostly worth it for white bases/picking up tiered rares/ritual

[wintry aspen]

oh so t15 map is not important but the outcome

[white oasis]

could someone help with audience with the king

[pulsar hollow]

when do the expedition traders reroll naturally?

[limpid pilot]

When does the game start letting me pull Expert Dualstring bows from Alva? I just finished a map with lvl 78 enemies, got my first dropped expert, and im level 82

[hearty comet]

T4 arb, xesht, hunting king, and still not a clue about expeditions

Sry

All I know is i saw an ss of a crafting panel with those npcs i havent seen before and I have logbooks but never ran any

[keen valve]

on lvl up

[wanton dawn]

u sure bro

🧐

[hearty comet]

Ive heard on lvlup as well

For restock

[wary oxide]

can some1 explain how Trialmaster ascendancy carry happens? since it has no pre-room like Sekhemas, when do your patrons join and where they be waiting during the fight? like right there inside the arena lol?

[bold mortar]

i've carried my friend through chaos for his final ascendancies

basically, they jus thave to follow you

there is no porting strat

also, they wait before you kill the trialmaster

as in, they don't go up the elevator

after you kill him

they can go up and get their points

[wary oxide]

ah, so they just join the party after you open the gates with 3 thingies and wait by that big ass door before you kill the Master right?

[bold mortar]

no

they have to be with you

from room 1

the moment you enter

there is no portal strat

[pale totem]

**Is there a place to see the map layout using it name? **
hidden grotto, etc...

[slender brook]

Isn't it possible to do 1 stage in trial of chaos, leave with portal, wait until someone completes it, he creates portal for you, you come in?

[bold mortar]

no, i've asked around the same question

here and in tft

and ive also tried it

[wary oxide]

ooof, now I see why this Trial is not used for party-profit, that sounds like a nightmare with a bunch of ppl

[bold mortar]

afaik, there is no portal strat for trials of chaos

yes

not to mention you have to pay the trialmaster cost

everytime

the 3 fragments

[wary oxide]

yeah. thanks for clearing this up bro

was thinking about carrying ppl, but shit looks too annoying to even attempt lol

[cosmic siren]

I have these quest markers but I'm in maps and can't remove them. Any ideas?

Is this glitching me out, preventing me from getting my other atlas skill tree points? I have the original 30 but none of the others

[bold mortar]

i mean you still can

if you can do trial of sekhemas

that's what eeveryone does

but i hate that shit

personally

[wary oxide]

same, hate that one. I'm just farming Chaos for soul cores and was wondering if I can extra-profit with carry, but yeah I'd stick to my little cores

[bold mortar]

yesp that's what i do

[wanton dawn]

loot from a cozy 20x chaos run,if somebody asked

[wary oxide]

I feel like the pictures of cores make little to no sense to a newbie asking the question. Like they have no clue how much currency is actually on the screen here lol

but Chaos farm is super chill, especially if you play chaos-immune minion builds. I'm just on autopilot listening to a podcast, each run takes 10 mins at most, very reliable

[wanton dawn]

if i sell everything

i will be at 10.-12

div overall

[wanton dawn]

do u gamble the low value cores

or sell

[arctic crag]

if you are gonna vendor, might as well gamble

[thorny badger]

Anyone got any tips for leveling after cruel I'm at 60 and maps are smacking me

[wary oxide]

just mass-selling everything every 3-4 days tbh

[wanton dawn]

not vendor lol

they still sell like 15 ex

the shit ones

per 1

[arctic crag]

I'd say, pause and see if you can improve your damage and defenses through cheap trades

[pulsar hollow]

how do you get rare precursor tablets?

[limber violet]

what is 1 chaos orb worth?

[slender brook]

Around 5 ex

[wary oxide]

yeah, like I've just checked - got 10 shitties cores (tapatantes or whatever) in one evening. all in all 120 ex, just from the worst cores. I feel like just selling is more reliable in the long run

[slender brook]

Check at alva, currency exchange

[hearty comet]

I just do sekhema instead

[wanton dawn]

it migh tbe

[hearty comet]

15 to 25min clears depending on how fast u get certian boons

[wanton dawn]

but what are the odds

to get the 3div core

hmmmm

[hearty comet]

I get a 3.5d vase relic evwry couple runs

[wary oxide]

@wanton dawn yo, do you know what to do with Helmets (Tribal Mask or whatever)? like can u vaal it into smth good or it's just 1 chance shard?

[wary oxide]

well, you can drop the 5 Div shield or a good Giga-Ultimatum every couple runs too

just got this one a second ago

[carmine sparrow]

Its 20% drop, so it should be common

[wanton dawn]

doesnt have any value

the helmet

[carmine sparrow]

Div ultis are rare

[tepid anchor]

Are maps the only way to keep leveling up after cruel?

[wary oxide]

sadge

[carmine sparrow]

It was good in poe1, but in poe2 its pointless

[carmine sparrow]

Maps or chaos trials/sekhema

Can do breachstones

Or sims xdd

If you are feeling brave

[wary oxide]

Sims are goated in terms of challenging your build, shit does not forgive the weak

[tepid anchor]

Okay, I don’t have either of those yet I don’t think

[wary oxide]

they be selling real fast though, just threw this one away for 230 chaos (~4.5 div)

[carmine sparrow]

People are not very smart

That is true

[south grove]

Just realized I've been running the widowhail bow to long. Changed to a "normal" bow and went from 3000dps to 10000dps
I think I will be doing happy early endgame mapping now 🥲😄

[proud gorge]

What is the advantage of Rare Monsters having additional modifiers?

[wheat glen]

When people are talking about farming the King in the Mists
is it in the acts world? or in maps?

for the belt

[amber helm]

maps, specifically the one from the invitation

the acts is just for the spirit, it doesnt drop anything special

[lethal summit]

i just got surrounded by tens of statues that woke up at the same time

da f was this?

[amber helm]

they do be doing that

[lethal summit]

this map dangerous af

[storm sonnet]

3 fragments actually

[wintry aspen]

you are dead anyway

[storm sonnet]

yea dont know how i died tho

does the dog damage you when he dies?

[wintry aspen]

prolly flying things

[storm sonnet]

damn

[wintry aspen]

it might be purple fireballs or whatever it is

[storm sonnet]

well rip 2-3 div

[prime wave]

i think i'll run out of space before the map tab comes out

[undone delta]

quick question, im about to do 4th breachstone boss, after the mobs been killed in area and before entering boss quarters can I scroll to hideout to respec Youth for Meditate and come back?

[dusky star]

sure

[candid escarp]

there was nothing THERE????

HUH???

my health fucking vanished

BEFORE THE ENEMIES LOADED IN

2 fucking seconds

[sly swallow]

what health? 4500 is not much

[candid escarp]

in tier 5

i dont have much scaling to work with right now

[sly swallow]

just start casting spark as soon as you trigger the mirror

or trigger a ritual/breach

[candid escarp]

apparently...

i didnt think it would kill me before they spawned in

[sly swallow]

I see

another thing is you immediately got stunned even though there is no stun mod on the map

it looks like you have no stun threshhold xD

get some

[stray geyser]

if you would ve spammed spark first and than firewall you would have survived that

[candid escarp]

BUT i have a stun charm!

didnt matter....

[tidal laurel]

Is there a poe 2 leveling help section?

[candid escarp]

charms are so dogshit that it didnt help

[sly swallow]

you need a high stun threshhold, and by high I mean several thousands

stone charm won't save you

[candid escarp]

not possible for me, fucking wonderful

[sly swallow]

well...get way more ES, then you can get % of it as stun threshhold

and I would then use a thawing charm against freezes

[candid escarp]

my stat sheet doesnt even list my threshold under the stun category? i should have threshold???

[candid escarp]

EB

[sly swallow]

yeah you have to count it yourself

[candid escarp]

i guess everlasting gaze ES doesnt count

[sly swallow]

you can't see it anywhere

[haughty hedge]

what does increased critical damage bonus for attack damage mean?

[sly swallow]

that's good

get more nodes like this

[sly swallow]

when you crit you deal 200% of your damage. if you get that mod you deal maybe 220% or whatever the mod roll says

well, all of the critical damage passives and mods are added up

[haughty hedge]

Ah ok sounds good!

[sly swallow]

and attack means anything that is not a spell. you use your weapon to deal damage

you hit or shoot with your weapon

[pale totem]

Are expeditions usefull post buff? Or still useless??

[sly swallow]

have you seen the price of logbooks?

idk how expeditions compare to other mechanics, but they are definitely not useless

(you can farm logbooks in expeditions and then sell them)

[frigid lantern]

are time lost caches rare?

ive killed zarokh twice now and no caches

:(

[proud gorge]

How long does an Omen of Resurgence last?

[dim turtle]

how much hp does t4 xesht have?

[sly swallow]

it should depend on the boss difficulty, I have all boss points, so mine has around 31 million life

[dim turtle]

t4

[sly swallow]

there is an atlas tree for bosses with 10 points

[dim turtle]

31mil hm ok

[sly swallow]

outside of breach

[dim turtle]

wha

xesht

[sly swallow]

there is the central atlas tree for all maps, 4 trees for 4 mechanics

[dim turtle]

not map boss

[sly swallow]

1 tree for all bosses

[dim turtle]

idk im confused

[sly swallow]

as far as I know the boss tree affects Xesht

[dim turtle]

wtf really

[pliant trench]

Noob question, is there a way of seeing what runes were placed into a armour piece?

[prime wave]

hover over the runes?

[empty lintel]

for path of building do i manually have to enter my build?

[prime wave]

yeah, it doesn't support importing yet

(from the game, you can import from some websites)

[vague pike]

Takes less than two minutes to copy/paste it in

[empty lintel]

copy paste from where?

[vague pike]

Ingame?

CTRL + C over an item

paste it into PoB

[empty lintel]

oh

[vague pike]

Item Class: Amulets
Rarity: Unique
The Everlasting Gaze
Azure Amulet

Quality (Mana Modifiers): +20% (augmented)

Item Level: 80

Allocates Lightning Rod (enchant)

34% increased Mana Regeneration Rate (implicit)

+60 to maximum Mana
60% increased Mana Regeneration Rate
Gain 30% of Maximum Mana as Extra Maximum Energy Shield

What they saw was what they believed, and
they believed Lunaris had not abandoned them.

Liket his

[empty lintel]

ur right

ty

didnt know i coulda just do that

[proud gorge]

I hate Trial of Chaos with a passion. I can clear a level 14 map without blinking, but those GD birds and wasting so much time on the trivial trials between them. Can't even finish Ascension 3.

[pseudo nimbus]

stun threshold nodes are good? why?

i feel like its a bad stat

[prime wave]

CI characters have very bad stun threshold because it's based on hp

[pseudo nimbus]

whats ci

[amber helm]

stun threshold is bad until you have literally 1 stun threshold and every single hit stuns you, then suddenly it's very important

[prime wave]

chaos inoculation, drops your hp to 1

[pseudo nimbus]

oh

[naive jungle]

I feel like I should already know this but how do I put another support gem onto my arsonist? I only have three right now

[balmy silo]

any way of seeing how many passive points you have?

[pseudo nimbus]

ur level + how many weapon set points u have (24 if maxed)

[amber helm]

all the quest points are wep swap points

so you can check that number and add to your level minus 1

[median vector]

you can add more gem slots with jeweler orbs, each slot requires a different kind though and they get expensive

[amber helm]

-1 because you dont get a point for lvl 1

[median vector]

you can also just buy a skill orb with extra slots from other people

[naive jungle]

But that's weird because somehow I have four on my infernal hound and warrior minion but only three on my others and I haven't done anything

[amber helm]

infernal hound is granted by ascendancy instead of skill gem

skills granted by ascendancy get more sockets as you level up, naturally

[balmy silo]

says I have 24 weapon swap, is that all of them?

[amber helm]

yes, that's all

[naive jungle]

So at this point it's now the orbs to add more support gems

[pseudo nimbus]

skills granted by weapons too

[amber helm]

*martial weapons specifically, but yeah

[pseudo nimbus]

its true for staves and wands too

[amber helm]

those depend on the item level of the weapon

not your character level

[balmy silo]

Is that correct?

[amber helm]

yeah

[balmy silo]

Does it consume my weapon set skills first and then my actual skill points, says I have 17

[calm grotto]

weapon set is not skill point

it's a number of point u can use your skill points in

[balmy silo]

as I assign them it consumes my skill points

[calm grotto]

to allow u to have a different set of passive tree with 2 different weapon set

yes

example

for curse

there are passive that increase the effect

so if u use weapon set 2 for it

while weapon set 1 your dps gears

u get to save 24 passive point in your tree

[balmy silo]

I get that, issue I'm having is that consume my actual skill points and my weapon set skill points when I assign them

[calm grotto]

weapon set skill points are not skill points

that's the number of skill point u can use in it

[median vector]

they aren't "extra points"

[amber helm]

yeah you're still using actual points when you assign swap points

[calm grotto]

i dont get why people are having issues with something they DO NOT have to give u

[balmy silo]

so having 17 without using 24 is normal? I'm level 91 btw

[empty lintel]

can i not add spirit gems to POB?

[calm grotto]

u can

[amber helm]

sure you can

[calm grotto]

just add it

[empty lintel]

im an idiot idk what i was doing but it popped up now

[primal phoenix]

Help with some bug, I traded with a guy doing sekhemas, after a few mins I want to go and run the trial but can't interact with the altar
The realm just keeps going to japan whenever I go to trial of sekhemas

[balmy silo]

I'm a dumbass, when you use a weapon set skill point it splits that point into 2. That's how you get 24 extra, wasn't making sense to me

[vague pike]

You dont get 24 extra

[tropic quarry]

75% less effect of curses on monsters
First simul, get this wave 5. Thanks tang

[vague pike]

You can just path 24 points in two different directions

[dusky arch]

Is there any good source to see what can happen to uniques if you vaal them? Like I vaaled wanderlust and it went from 20% ms to 17%, didn't know that could happen

[amber helm]

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Corrupted

[slate kelp]

uhh wtf?

[tropic quarry]

Certain maps can't have bosses.

They just don't have a boss fight to add in some maps 😅

[vague pike]

I dont get why anyone would have Global chat on

[dusky arch]

Thank you kindly!

[vague pike]

It's pure cancer in there

[obtuse hemlock]

bosses not worth adding tbh

[vague pike]

Yes. They Irradiate maps for free

[obtuse hemlock]

rares give more loot

[vague pike]

WIth correct atlas

[hearty harbor]

are belts important to pick up everytime? just started mapping, lvl 1 waystone

[vague pike]

Free +1 tier

[amber helm]

if your current one isn't great, not a bad idea to identify + augment

and see where it goes

[worldly grail]

Don’t bosses provide more maps

[hearty harbor]

okay okay, thank you. What are some good bases for Monk?

[vague pike]

Yes. They are also good for map sustain.

There is a Atlas skill in the Boss tree. That makes it so all Boss maps get auto Irradiated

= 1 free tier to all maps with bosses

[dusky arch]

So was the reduced movementspeed randomised numerical? Since u can't divine the movementspeed it seems wrong. Or was it like -3% special vaal enhancement?

[worldly grail]

I have 8 points but can’t get anymore books until monolith?

But I haven’t come across any citadels yet

[vague pike]

Last two points is from first Arbiter

[uncut fiber]

Daaaaamnn I got lucky

[worldly grail]

And I’ve done a ton of maps

[uncut fiber]

White stellar dropped

[obtuse hemlock]

the last two map boss points are less useful than the first 8 imo

[proud gorge]

I mean... It's good advice.

[vague pike]

Thats 30% of a free tier.

Makes it easier to get T18 maps

[obtuse hemlock]

yeah, but the guaranteed +1 is more reliable

[vague pike]

You can get both

So

Why not add 30% chance of a free tier

[obtuse hemlock]

the corruption itself adds a ton to hugely juiced maps with lots of pack density

[worldly grail]

Is it a poe design choice to keep enemy levels low as we get exponentially stronger?

[fleet rivet]

Anyone know if there are any sellable mods on ruby jewels? or is the whole type basically trash?

[tropic quarry]

Think there's some. Skill effect duration comes to mind.

Not entirely worthless, just a lot of it at the moment 😅

[obtuse hemlock]

hp regen I heard for stat stackers

[fleet rivet]

cool i'll look out for that one

thanks!

[pseudo swan]

is there a bug where irradiated wont apply propperly or something?

or does anyone know another reason why my maps are going -1 level randomly?

I dont have the double-corrupt atlas node

[forest trout]

Hello, I'm new here... wanted to know, are the issues with "Cast on Block" known?

[pseudo swan]

I just did a t16 irradiated and the preview showed moster level 81, but when I got into the map it's only monster level 80

not the first time ive noticed it either

it happens pretty often

[hearty harbor]

i afk'd in a map, and dont remember if i finished it or not

how do i check?

[pseudo swan]

open map and look top right, itll say map completed

• how many monsters remain

[hearty harbor]

oh sweet, its done

but there's still mobs?

i can just leave right?

[pseudo swan]

map is complete when all the rares/uniques are dead

[hearty harbor]

okay, bet, so this is done

?

[pseudo swan]

magic + normal monsters can be skipped

yeah

[hearty harbor]

gotcha

tyvm!

[pseudo swan]

np

[pseudo nimbus]

why can't i continue after finishing the citadel?

the next nodes are locked still

[forest trout]

Dunno, need to kill all rares as well as the boss?

[pseudo nimbus]

i did

[pseudo swan]

ive noticed some citadels are bugged, they dont complete the map after killing all monsters

even if you full clear

also some node connections are bugged and the nodes are not actually connected even though there is a line between them

pretty frusterating when you constantly get blocked by fake dead ends

[pseudo nimbus]

ok ty

[coral grove]

4 failed zarokh attempts, maybe it's time I do end up looking for a carry lmao.

I burn through my life flask, unfortunately, being a bloodmage. Not having creeps to re-up on is a bit annoying

[prime wave]

when he does the thing where he spins around shooting lightning, you can stand in a corner and not get hit

[coral grove]

Wait seriously??

[prime wave]

at least it's worked for me the few times i've done it

[coral grove]

Also, do I need to avoid rolling during the mini-challenge?

[prime wave]

i believe rolling speeds you up in some parts and slows down in others and ends up being the same speed as just running, i could be wrong lol

[coral grove]

Of note, I have 30% move speed boots, should I hunt down 35%?

[empty lintel]

yo my 3d jewel finally sold IM RICH NOW

my hoarding has paid off

now i can gamble on sapp rings

[prime wave]

i've got 30% move speed but also 10% from a relic and the extra speed helps a lot

[forest trout]

Remember, boots are not the only source of movespeed, passives and some implicits can also have some

[arctic crag]

I think someone asked yesterday but how does hungry fangs affliction interact with CI?

looks like it kills you if you get a single hit nvm

[prime wave]

i've run hungry fangs with ci and didn't die

[arctic crag]

you got hit?

[prime wave]

probably? i'm not that good at the game yet to not get hit in four floors

[arctic crag]

kk, I'll yolo it, worst case just one barya lost

[lethal summit]

i'm a spark stormweaver build

which 1 should i use?

[fair hinge]

Just to clarify, the citdal pillar of light is color coated to what type of citdal right?

[tropic quarry]

Should be.

I've heard of people going towards red and getting a different one, haven't seen it myself though.

[quasi swallow]

How do I complete a map ?

I got into my first and killed all rares (I think)

[tropic quarry]

Kill all rare or unique enemies on the map.

[fair hinge]

Well ive found 7 copper citdals and 0 iron citadals

[tropic quarry]

If you're not sure, you can hit tab and should see a summary of how many monsters remain. You can keep killing until that's 0 if you're worried 😅

[restive pond]

At this rate you'll never make it to the industrial revolution

[quasi swallow]

Tab on console would be .. ?

[tropic quarry]

Whatever you use to make the minimap bigger and center-screen.

[fair hinge]

thats how it feels

[restive pond]

I dunno press some buttons

[quasi swallow]

You can do this ?? lol

oh wait I know what you meant

[restive pond]

the macromap

[quasi swallow]

oh 28 remain

ty

[restive pond]

we need some poe2 gamepad guru

[tropic quarry]

@quasi swallow I will say, when you kill all of the required enemies you should get a notification at the bottom of the screen saying "Map cleared" or similar.

[fair hinge]

huh, this node is isolated

[tropic quarry]

The map node in the atlas may show as "In Progress" until you move (minor bug), but once you get that notification you should be good.

[restive pond]

yah the game does that

[tropic quarry]

Boss is just chilling. Just wants to be left alone.

[restive pond]

there may be nodes hiding in the mountains, it's weird

[tropic quarry]

Normally you get to see the path though.

Even if a node got buried.

[fair hinge]

thats what i thought

maybe its rendering weird on the edge like that

[quasi swallow]

Gotcha thanks

[storm flame]

is there a setting to not make delirious maps look like shit?

[tropic quarry]

Turn the fog back on.

Should make things look great again.

[fair hinge]

man im having so little fun trying to find this citadel i might just bail until they update the end game

[storm flame]

what setting is the fog again?

[tropic quarry]

Sorry, was more rhetorical since I couldn't take your question seriously 😅

Not sure what you find to look "like shit" about delirious maps.

[storm flame]

oh ok

just the visibility

[tropic quarry]

All the ones I've been in so far have just been the usual map with a dusting of fog.

[storm flame]

yea the fog is terrible

altho what I was thinking was that I turned off a fog setting and now its rendering a worse version of the fog

[muted olive]

deli maps will further make the colors of the maps all blend in, so you often walk into areas of the map that you can't walk into. Steaming Springs is terrible for it.

[restive pond]

Deli looks bad because it is

[storm flame]

like on purpose?

because IMO this isnt a horror game

[muted olive]

I don't think the visual clarity is intentionally supposed to be bad

[restive pond]

it looked bad when it came out in 2020 and it looks bad now

[muted olive]

Deli is supposed to be spooby though

[restive pond]

just so much grey

[tropic quarry]

Definitely supposed to be spooky, horrors leaping from the fog sure.

Just think people want to see where they're walking.

[storm flame]

they can make it spooky but it goes against visual clarity which should be on top for ARPGs

[muted olive]

you are going through a mental health crisis with deli, and a man makes you question your sanity and stuff

[restive pond]

except you are explicitly rewarded for finding the horrors

[tropic quarry]

Personally I'm fine with delirium, but I get where people are coming from 😅

[restive pond]

it's a pinata of horror

[storm flame]

oh so POE1 also have the same delirium fog?

RIP, this might never get changed then

[muted olive]

Pinata of horror I ran over 13 times with simularcum, and haven't gotten the flask once

[restive pond]

for 5 years now

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Delirium_league

[muted olive]

tier 11+ maps drop splinters when you run deli, so make sure you get the tier high enough

[tropic quarry]

Honestly just sell the splinters, farm good maps, buy simuls lol

[storm flame]

yup Im already there

but man this fog 😅

it grinds my gears

[hallow flax]

the problem is, it's optimal to run delirium on every map, so you rarely get to see the normal non-greyed-out version of them

[stray geyser]

what type of map is the best for

[pliant mist]

there are supposed to be citadel lights, right? I came back to my atlas that has some progress and I don't see any anywhere

[muted olive]

higher the tier, the higher the item level. 16 is what I'd use

[tropic quarry]

High monster level, don't waste good affixes if you don't have to.

Literally nothing there but an npc.

[prime wave]

i just tried hungry fangs with ci, lost like 1000 honor but didn't die

[arctic crag]

Oh nice, I didn’t get hit yet, I had to go out so saved after floor 2

[tropic quarry]

Honestly, last I heard you didn't take hungry fangs like... ever.

Just due to the honor damage.

Apparently there's a bunch of weird multi-hit attacks, apparently some environmental stuff counts as damage? Don't want to risk it 😅

[tropic quarry]

Monk?

[stray geyser]

how can you get items with ilvl 85? isnt an irradiated, corrupted 17+ map the max?

[tropic quarry]

Was just curious if that was a class-specific line.
My favorite so far is when I went there on chronomancer lol

[prime wave]

pathfinder

i think it's a regular line

[tropic quarry]

Ah, yeah. The class-specific is when you first walk in.

[prime wave]

i just did a search on the trade site and there aren't any ilvl 85 items

[tropic quarry]

Was going to think a bit before answering, because yeah.

I'm not sure I've seen ilvl 85.

Not sure that zen can be irradiated or corrupted though 🤔

As far as I know it's just the monster level from the waystone.

[stray geyser]

iLvL 84 my bad

[prime wave]

bosses drop 1 level higher, maybe rares too (?)

[tropic quarry]

Area level sets a base, rares/uniques can bump the level.

Not going to lie and say I checked for poe2, but poe behavior I think was +2 possible ilvl from rare/unique monsters and +1 from magic*

[restive pond]

Merc makes a time joke midfight

I think he might not really value his own life

[crystal zealot]

anyone want to team up for trials?

[quasi swallow]

How do I go to hideout first time ?

I just cleared a node which said hideout

[prime wave]

talk to alva

[quasi swallow]

Oooooh ty

[barren atlas]

how much does the +1 to 2 mods on unique monsters node imrpove boss loot? Should I be running that for sure if map bosses are my focus? or is it gonna make them way deadlier with little reward

it takes me like a solid 30-60 secs to kill most +4 difficulty lv80 bosses atm

[junior hornet]

in my exp, map bosses are meh on whatever difficulty, the only consistent drops I see in +4 are t15 waystones

+4, irridated, corrupted, full mods waystone and it drops a chaos orb and 3 waystones

[stray geyser]

is corrupted infusion worth it to hit a level 17 map?

[trim ginkgo]

what is that passive that transfer max mana/life to energy shield?

[daring geyser]

I need help understanding CoC mechanics. Why does my coc trigger every time vs a very low level mob (like act 1 normal clearfell) but not against a mob in t1 maps for example

oh because of ailment threshold

[proud gorge]

for getting atlas passive point quest, does an Waystone Tier X used on a Irradiated location qualify as a Tier X+1 map?

[worldly grail]

Yeah

[mossy ice]

is there a rhyme or a reason to where breaches pop up within a map or is it just bad luck to keep finding them right at the end

[dim turtle]

Hello does anyone know if there is some breakpoint for any build that this extra cooldown would help with?

[candid escarp]

how many unique maps are there? is it just untainted paradise rn?

[stray geyser]

nope

there is also Vaults of Kamasa, and Moment of Zen if you want to count it as unique map

[amber helm]

moment of zen counts for sure

[twilit lintel]

on PC how do people grab a stack of an item and keep applying it to an item? like.. to chaos orb somehting or what ever/ When I click it only lets me do it if I only have one and drag drop. I've tried controll clickign and all kinds of stuff.

[stray geyser]

right click on the stack and hold shift

[surreal lava]

Are the relic prefixes "Monsters/rare monsters/bosses take #% increased damage" mutually exclusive? If I have the "monsters deal..." one, would it deal increased damage to rare monsters as well? It doesn't seem like that'd be how it is but I wanted to see if someone knew.

[amber helm]

if it's a monster it's a monster

they're all monsters, rare or unique

[twilit lintel]

Thanks!

[stray geyser]

the different is that the prefix monster take increased damage cant roll as high as bosses take increased damage but a boss counts also as monster

[surreal lava]

I was hoping that might be how it'd work but it seemed like the relics would exclude the type not listed. So the

SanctumMonstersIncreasedDamageTaken

would work as an umbrella, affecting both of the following?

Family: SanctumBossIncreasedDamageTaken or
Family: SanctumGuardsIncreasedDamageTaken

The top rolls for all seem to be 21-30

[violet remnant]

outside of increased waystone drop (which I'm swimming in waystones) are suffix only waystones useful? It seems you're limiting drops just for a really really hard map? Also do delirious (not delirium) make maps harder or just give you the benefit of getting splinters?

[raven mesa]

In maps, how do you get out of a boss arena to proceed the map?

[amber helm]

? you're overcomplicating it

when you hit an enemy the game checks, is that a monster

yes

then they take increased damage

that's it

[mossy ice]

from my experience, the way you came

[raven mesa]

I am blocked by a red barrier with the "arena" popup

[mossy ice]

oof

[raven mesa]

This is not a feature right? Just a bug?

[mossy ice]

sounds like it tbh

[stray geyser]

its a known issue (bug) DO NOT TP OUT!
You need to relog

if you open a TP the map is failed

[mossy ice]

saving that for the future

[raven mesa]

What do you need with relog? go back to login screen?

[stray geyser]

yes go back to the char selection and you ll get a portal to the last checkpoint

[civic nacelle]

wait you can't rejoin a map if you die?

i thought you could as long as you didn't run out of portals

[mossy ice]

death is a failure of the map

[empty lintel]

man is weaponswap speed the most troll stat lol was almost cookin here

[amber helm]

if you die the portals disappear

[empty lintel]

if u didnt get an answer the right one with +2 to spells is 200% better

[raven mesa]

Thanks, that helped 🙂

[surreal lava]

Overcomplicating it is my middle name.

That just seems to
a)make the "boss" and "rare" relic garbage if they are all the same % maxroll, and
b) work to the player's advantage in an ideal case, which was what made me do a double-take.

Thanks for explaining it in the simplest possible terms, I appreciate it.

[stray geyser]

you can start a failed map again but you ll lose any events on the map, and if its a citadel its just failed forever

[mossy ice]

are breach points within a map random

[civic nacelle]

o how do i start it again

[surreal lava]

I'd guess there's a minrange radius that they can't be too close to each other

[amber helm]

put in a new waystone

[mossy ice]

I mean, like within a breach map, is the actual spot you activate the breach random

[amber helm]

yeah

how would it not be random

[civic nacelle]

o i was thinking of the waystones as the maps

[mossy ice]

because the last 3 breach maps i did I didn't find the breach until I killed the whole map and it kinda screwed me

so I jist have bad luck got it

[civic nacelle]

are there no unique map bosses?

it's just rares?

[surreal lava]

I'd think that they'd be random, except for an x10 breach would have a very teeny chance of having all 10 breaches stacked exactly on top of each other... which might be a thing! but they might have implemented a rule to make that not happen.

[mossy ice]

i see, ty, yeah I'm not that advanced to be doing 10x breaches lol

[amber helm]

there are, it will show a boss icon above the map on the atlas

just not every map like in poe1

[mossy ice]

although I feel like my build does very well with breaches

[civic nacelle]

ah

is there no affinity for waystones?

for stash tabs

[surreal lava]

I know people play their own way, but if you're focusing on breach in any way, I'd suggest getting a breachstone and beating Xesht that first time to put the skill into your atlas that increases the number of breaches that can spawn. I'm not too advanced myself, but that one change improved the return in breaches and made them more fun to roll & play. It's not as advanced to access or beat T1 Xesht as I thought - if you can clear rare T15 maps with breach and a boss, I'd say it's worth a try.

I used the in-game currency exchange to get the rest of the splinters for my first breachstone with exalts rather than farm them up in single breach maps, at a friend's suggestion. I'm not sure what the stones are selling for now or what I paid exactly, but it was cheap enough that I thought it's worth it. You may disagree, but I love the feeling of realizing that a good map I've just opened has that 4th breach.

[stray geyser]

only 4?

[jolly finch]

how to access this?

[stray geyser]

you need to craft a ship

[jolly finch]

how?

[stray geyser]

[amber helm]

you dont

[junior hornet]

buy 480$ package and get a ship

[stray geyser]

it is so frustrating to sit on around 200 div orbs and you cant get items that you want because they just do not exist

[pure gazelle]

does the cold dmg only matter for the ring itself?

or is it 28% inc cold dmg for total build

[stray geyser]

for your total build

[pure gazelle]

damn

so this ring is aight?

[surreal lava]

much better than if the increase to cold just applied to the ring

[stray geyser]

depends on your build. if you re sorceress you want to have mana and mana reg on your rings, spells arent attacks and if you re playing with 1HP there is no need for maximum life

[mossy ice]

anyone know the price of a basic stellar by any chance

oops nvm

[stray geyser]

i'm buying white stellar amulets for 130 ex

[mossy ice]

jesus

I got 2 chance orbs I wanna rattle off 🤣🤣

word to the wise, removing things with the remover orb does not make it white 😬

[stray geyser]

if you hit the right amulet you can get hundreds of divine orbs so i would never sell it and take the risk 😄

[scenic dagger]

Just died in a copper citadel map to the dumbest thing ever

Frustration on 10000

[mossy ice]

I can't even find a citadel

[scenic dagger]

I’ve found so many now that they have that beam

Just look around all the edges of ur atlas and look for these beams of light

[mossy ice]

yeah I see none, so I'm just moving where my gut tells me

[stray geyser]

you should go in one direction until you find one and than there will be a citadel every 20 maps or so 😄

[mossy ice]

this is the way

[scenic dagger]

Yeah that’s what i did

Works for sure

[mossy ice]

I'm working on t4 maps but I'm probably good for up to 10, but I don't want to waste higher tier maps while I have the atlas point quests

[stray geyser]

ya just rush the quest maps

at the end you ll get so many maps thats just crazy

so this is the distance from one to another citadel

[empty lintel]

im about to finish act3 cruel soon but ive gotten a couple waystone t1s, i cant use those until im finished tho right?

[mossy ice]

on console I swear it doesn't let me look that far out into the fog, unless I'm trippin

[mossy ice]

correct

I have a new stupid question

when I did my first play through, the ratbreaker boss from act 2 would bug out and be immortal if I left the platform, does that happen in maps where they are a boss?

it's the only boss to kill me in maps so far

[hearty harbor]

hi, playing ice strike monk, around lvl 70 (not at pc rn). Dying to tier 1 maps. Is it advisable to swap out all/some damage nodes in passive tree and go for survivability nodes?

also playing ssf, so buying gear is not a thing

also, my resistances are all below 50%, so is it recommended to prioritize resistances over energyshield/evasion (since im monk)

[unique hawk]

Sounds fair
Make a good filter to highlight bases you can use
https://poe2filter.com/
I'm surprised you die fast with 30% resistance I heard about almost negative ones starting maps SSF

[keen escarp]

Wait so how does atlas map work?

I put in the way stones and that customizes the map

[amber helm]

the waystone is the key to the map, yeah

[keen escarp]

Do I just wanna explore whole thing or

[hearty harbor]

okay, i do have worse resistances, and ill try the filter. Thank you

[amber helm]

you kill every rare

that gives you completion for doryani

when you do enough he gives you atlas tree passives

and you try to build up to higher tier waystones

[keen escarp]

Ah

So there’s really no direction per say

On the actual map

Just kinda aim to clear it?

[hearty harbor]

i jsut started today too. For the default maps, just kill in any direction. Until you will see bosses spawn in map/mini-map (yellow dots)

[amber helm]

yeah

[hearty harbor]

go kill bosses and map is completed

[amber helm]

it's annoying with bad layouts

[keen escarp]

And what do the little symbols mean

[hearty harbor]

top left of the atlast map, there is a legend

have a look

[keen escarp]

Ah it was hidden by default

[hearty harbor]

bosses and the corruption one are important

[keen escarp]

Didn’t even notice lol

[hearty harbor]

bosses apparently drop insane stuff, so make sure you dont die in that map (ive died on all bosses map myself, so i am sad)

[amber helm]

insane is a bit of a stretch but the drops are good

[keen escarp]

Wait what happens if you die?

[amber helm]

you fail the map

[keen escarp]

Is it like a chaos trial

Ah

[amber helm]

and lose 10% of your xp bar

[hearty harbor]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1hecq3x/so_youre_in_maps_now_a_quick_dirty_guide_to/

@keen escarp check this out. This helped me understand

[keen escarp]

Dope Ty

[hearty harbor]

WHAT?!

[keen escarp]

Is map boss the rare I need to kill?

[hearty harbor]

i didnt know that

ive been regressing then

[keen escarp]

Wait it’ll actually lower ur level?

[amber helm]

no, you cant lose a level

if you're at 0% of the bar it just stays at 0%

you just lose progress to the next level

[hearty harbor]

i need to go remove all attack dmg and put it into defences it seems

gg

[amber helm]

a balance is important

i wouldnt recommend going all-in on either

[hearty harbor]

oh okay

how does the CI passive thing work btw? if you lose energy shield, you just die?

[amber helm]

yeah

[hearty harbor]

at what point do i know if im ready to spec into the CI point? Any general rule of thumb?

[amber helm]

there's also stuff like mind over matter

[hearty harbor]

lemme look that up

[amber helm]

not particularly sure for that, i'd want at least 4-5k es before ci

[hearty harbor]

okok

[keen escarp]

Also dumb question

How much spirit are you supposed to have pre items on witch?

[stray geyser]

in my opinion you should cap your ress, get around at least 4k life pool (Life/ES/Mana) and hit arround 20k dmg that should be fine for mapping

[keen escarp]

I feel like I’m so low

[hearty harbor]

oof, im far away from all of those rn, but i hope you dont need all of that for tier 1 maps (where im stuck on)

👀

oh you mean, that's when i should go for CI

gotcha

[amber helm]

wdym pre items

100

[keen escarp]

Only 100?

Oh wait

I didn’t kill the stupid bog witch in cruel smh
