[wary oxide]

yeah, and when you parked your car to refill your gas tank you just lost 10 minutes actively fueling the tank + 10 minutes you could've been actively driving the car

[proper hazel]

🍿

[wary oxide]

that's just not how things work my brother

[sly swallow]

what do you mean?

I don't get you analogy

[wary oxide]

there's no opportunity cost when you get the fragments for free, you just run them because why not gamble for x100 profit against literally 0 investment. you already HAVE THAT SHIT in your inventory. you compare this to a scenario where someone has nothing and invests into a pass to gamble for the same unrealistic odds effectively throwing exalts away

I honestly don't understand what's here to misunderstand

[sly swallow]

you invest your time that you could spend making more currency, so it's not for free

and when you decide not to sell a thing that costs 100 exalts, that's a 100 exalt investment

[wary oxide]

why is this hypothetical person in the Chaos Trials to begin with then?

I guess you are arguing from the perspective of the entire game with all mechanics

[cunning estuary]

Trials just take way less "non gaming" time to setup compared to more efficient things, so it's nice if you're not in the mood for that prep. Doesn't help that 4th asc points are much easier on sugma xdd

[wary oxide]

then idk what to say lol, we are literlly talking about different things

[sly swallow]

sure

I would buy the 4th ascendancy for 50ex anyway, by far the best way

[cunning estuary]

I just found it slightly fun to have the feeling of earning 4th asc the first time alone. If I level subsequent characters I'll get buy it next time xdd

[sly swallow]

sure, if you wanna have fun, go ahead

[wary oxide]

I'm talking about a guy with a build that can farm only Chaos
or maybe he just likes Chaos and doesn't want to play anything else

for this person there's no opportunity cost in this equation. he is farming for cores, that's all he does/can do. he gets the fragments in the process for free - why not run the Trialmaster too for Adorned gamba then

[sly swallow]

sure, in thus case it makes sense

[cunning estuary]

Is that as likely as just selling the pieces and buying a decent adorned?

[wary oxide]

you drop the left-side key piece like every 7-8th run, it goes for 80ex, but let's say 100 so 1/3rd of a Divine
I'd consider a good Adorned something with at least 70%. It starts at like 60 Divines so 180 successful 1 in 8 runs, resulting in over 1200 runs

doesn't look like fun

[ivory sandal]

You need to be able to 100% of the time kill the Trialmaster and you need to do enough runs to eventually hit one of the good drops.

You can do 100 runs and loose a ton of money in the meantime by running your fragments instead of selling them.

[wary oxide]

I personally don't even know what attacks/moves Trialmaster does, he gets washed in the first second
Once again, we talking about someone who runs Trials for core-profit. This guy doesn't die there and kills everything while afk

[ivory sandal]

Over a long enough period that will likely be profitable then, yes.

[tribal jackal]

if ur talking about chaos fate drops
its "random"

but idk if thats even true

[ivory sandal]

But you need a high enough amount of runs to take rng out of the equation.

[tribal jackal]

i think there is a bias somewhere

i funded my 50 div build from chaos runs so its possible

[wary oxide]

not random per se. you get the left-side thing when it randomizes the Bird boss to be the last (10th) room
but that scenario happens approx. once in 7-8 runs

[tribal jackal]

before the QoF patch left side sold for the most ex and it was the most common one that droped for me

middle and right one were kinda equal

now after tha patch

for some reason chimera boss is the most common one

[ivory sandal]

Bird boss was the last one so much more often for me than the others.

[tribal jackal]

ive done like 300+ runs and i have no idea why

[ivory sandal]

Could just be that it is the most rippy and thus less people complete runs if its the last boss, thus less of those frags hit the market.

[tribal jackal]

i did think that

thats why the price was so high

like x2 the price

[wary oxide]

they changed smth for sure - that's why the left piece is worth more, it's just less common to drop due to the Bird shenanigans

[tribal jackal]

they made the tornado bird easier

they said they would

but i also think they changed the rng of which boss is last

[wary oxide]

yeah, that's what I'm talking about. so the Bird doesn't show up in room #10 that often anymore. thus, it's more rare

[tribal jackal]

really weird

why even do that

😄

[wary oxide]

my guess is that balancing is not around people who farm the Trials for currency
it's to make your average Joe's life easier. because if you get the Bird in the very last room (and therefore get all 10 debuffs applied), this average Joe just fucking dies in a second and breaks his monitor

and if this Bird gets a 40% chance to be your last Boss, then you effectively end up with half the runs as bricked runs for the average Ascendancy seeker

[tribal jackal]

more reasons to buy an oled monitor!

/j

[silver hazel]

sadge, i had a damn near perfect map with 120 rarity, 100% magic pack size 80% magic monsters n some other shit. i got 2 tapped from 7k hp/mana

[tribal jackal]

u can also get ES

[cunning estuary]

They pretty much confirmed the average Joe is not gonna get 4th asc anyways because they want it to "mean something" when asked about the difficulty

[tribal jackal]

yeah

i dont mind helping anyone who wants tho

[cunning estuary]

But I'd consider myself average too, I just followed a build to get it rather than figure out my own bad build

[tribal jackal]

if u can make it to the boss in sekhmas ill just come and kill the boss for you

[smoky field]

so apparently this is why path of building 2 does not want to launch it was okay before the update that just went through acouple hours ago any idea?

[tribal jackal]

ouch that

i had big problems with it

you can find the dll on google

you will need a 32 bit version and 64 bit version

or if u know which one is missing just that one

aaaaaand ofc the dll site is down
😄

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/msvcp100dll-missing/9a687c31-0619-4ee9-b511-020985e29b5f

[smoky field]

why would it cause an issue now though after the new update?

[tribal jackal]

check out this tho

[tribal jackal]

cant answer that sadly
deleted something probably

[smoky field]

did it happen to you when you updated through pob?

[tribal jackal]

no

for other programs

[smoky field]

ah okay i guess the update went wonky lol

[tribal jackal]

when i updated to win 11 for amd ryzen stuff

[smoky field]

https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding-PoE2/issues/699

looks like other people are getting this too

[tribal jackal]

huh

[gaunt trail]

Can someone help me. I’ve been doing T5 maps looking for a way to get the token for more ascendancy points but this is my only drop so far and it says it won’t give additional points?

I only have 4 points atm, where do I farm??

[tribal jackal]

https://pob.cool/poe2

u can use pob online

untill its fixed

[tribal jackal]

it drops randomly

or u can buy them

[warped spire]

you need one that says 10 trials on it

[tribal jackal]

they are really cheap

1 ex each

[warped spire]

if u need one i can give u

[sly swallow]

I would use breach tablets early on preferably, and farm breaches until you collect 50 exalts, then you can pay someone to do the ascendancy trial for you, you will get 8 points

[gaunt trail]

Oh, so I did act 2 and 3, that was 4 points.

Then I need a one with a. 10 on it for the next 2 points?

[warped spire]

fo a lil more info.. to get a 10 trial one it needs to be lvl 75 at least. so if the area u are farming in is not at least lvl 75 you will nbot get one to drop

[sly swallow]

if you decide to do it yourself it will be way more expensive and time consuming

[gaunt trail]

What are these? (Sorry I’m new to POE)

[warped spire]

correct. if you do a 10 trial one itll give u pts 7 and 8 and then to get last 2 pts u need to fight trialmaster

[gaunt trail]

Ohhhh!

[warped spire]

trialmaster requires 3 fragments that u get from defeating the final boss of the 10 trial runs

[sly swallow]

you put a tablet into a tower to buff maps around it, breach spawns a lot of monsters

to kill trialmaster you will have to spend over 100ex just for the keys

[warped spire]

^

[sly swallow]

and it's not garanteed that you can take him on on your own

[mortal kestrel]

this... is a bug, right? top right node can't be accessed, and there's no hidden nodes inbetween

[sly swallow]

for the sekhema trial you need good relics and a strong build

[gaunt trail]

I think it’s starting to make sense. So you really want to get many monsters as possible in the T maps to collect stuff to then do trials.

I’ll keeepp on grinding!
I’m level 72 atm, just did a T6 map and it felt pretty easy

[warped spire]

to me this looks like the node is not connected to the tower but to the node in the bottom left

[smoky field]

alright il use that for now thank you

[mortal kestrel]

guess I won't find out. bottom left node is mire

[warped spire]

LOL

rip

im honestly curious if it is or not. just clear it with a white t1

[tribal jackal]

its probably a bug

[empty lintel]

for trials of chaos t10 im chosing betwen escaling dmg or pyramid beams

which is better

got 2 rooms left

[warped spire]

the damage scaling one imo

pyramids are big and dangerous

if u clear the rooms fast the dmg scaling doesnt matter really

[gaunt trail]

How would someone do it for me?

[warped spire]

so you go on theforbiddentrove discord and there is a tab for trial carries. you basically join the guys run. he kills boss. u touch statue and ur done

if you have 0 pts in asc

[gaunt trail]

Ohhhh sweet as. I didn’t realise you could do that (it always kicks out my friend when we tried in the past)

[warped spire]

itll give u all of them

[civic nacelle]

how much quality does a reaver catalyst put on a rare ring?
1% per?

[warped spire]

you can also find ppl doing the carry in game

but on tft its 40-60 exalt and in game its like 250+ exalt

[gaunt trail]

So if my friend finds one of these tokens I need, and I was able to carry him I could just join him and do it for him?

[mortal kestrel]

kinda random, about 1-3% per.

[warped spire]

i think this depends on the ilvl of the ring but 1-3% normally

[civic nacelle]

oh ok

[warped spire]

for me feels like the higher the item ilvl the more catas i need to use

could just be my rng being rng tho

[tribal jackal]

escaling dmg is better than pyramids

[wintry aspen]

hey guys, what does this mean

[gaunt trail]

Silly one. I eventually found a token to get more ascendant point and I’ve just done it, but there is this door - do I need to go through this? (Please tell me I don’t need to do it 3 times 😂)

[proper hazel]

if your doing your 3rd ascendancy you need to do 3floors of it so yes in a way you do it 3 times and fight 3 bosses to do it, if you die or lose all honour anywhere you fail the whole thing

[warped spire]

vaults of kamasala is a "unique" map. its pretty muchg just a couple of rooms with a bunch of chests in it that u open. if you are going to do that map i suggest getting a t16 maps that has alot of item quantity and rarity on it and juicing up the node withg towers to get as much quant and rarity as possible and then going in. there are no mobs to kill or anything just loot chests

[gaunt trail]

This is absolutely awful 😂

[proper hazel]

yep thats why alot of people just pay for a carry, takes much less time lol

[wintry aspen]

is it a rare map that drops a lot or meh

[warped spire]

tbh i did it 2 times now and i didnt really get anything worth my time or the maps spent on it

its literally just like 50 chests u open

if u have good rng on chests it might be worth u doing

but if ur like me and have terrible rng on clickables might not be worth it

[hollow jay]

is this good?

[nimble frigate]

is this good ?

[wintry aspen]

not sure but prolly not

[calm breach]

Used for attribute stacking builds, not worth a lot on the market but very good and necessary for that build

think i bought mine with 3 sockets for under 10ex

[calm breach]

Other than the resists its kinda dead, the one attribute you have on there is low and the resists themselves arent rolled high. If it helps in your build then use it but if not just vendor it for gold lol

[calm grotto]

no

[vague temple]

I am able to slot Concentrated Effect into flicker strike, does it actually increase hit damage?

[calm grotto]

check i stats i guess

does it increase hit dmg?

[vague temple]

yup

[calm grotto]

then yes

[vague temple]

theres no line for area of effect, would CE lower the range to jump to another target?

[calm grotto]

maybe

[wary oxide]

Simulacrum run has the best chance to drop the flask at level 0, right?

[trail dove]

why am I getting a million whispers about this? lol

[civic nacelle]

mygod the rolls on this are incredible

[civic nacelle]

rage on melee hit

[trail dove]

mmm, best check the price then, getting a million whispers for 5 Ex, lol

[wary oxide]

not enough mods

[dusky star]

I imagine it's also the combo of rage on hit + max res + phys (hell, could even be the shield bonus)

pretty cute jewel

[still turret]

anyone free to help me craft?

[drowsy cove]

help bug

[river violet]

Try typing "/oos" in chat without the quotes

In poe1 it forces a resync with your client, but idk if it works in poe2

[drowsy cove]

its not work, its fine run other maps

[viral blaze]

can they fix the damn teleport to the hideout from chaos OML

[civic nacelle]

at what tier of waystone do you start doing more than trans>aug>regal?

[viral blaze]

id say 10+

[civic nacelle]

what do you start doing at that point?

[dusky star]

well, for starters, you can alch the normal ones - besides that, once you get to like t12-13+ maybe you want to full exalt slam some maps, or add deli stuff, or corrupt or whatever

lots of options

[civic nacelle]

gotcha

kinda stupid question but

is item rarity just terrible for new players?

basically none of the rares or uniques i get are sellable, maybe 1ex at most

but the white stellar amulets and sapphire rings are big $ in comparison

[dusky star]

item rarity also improves currency drops, so it's always a pretty good stat up until like ~150 of it, but don't sacrifice your clearspeed/dmg/tank if you can't afford to do so

[civic nacelle]

i kinda feel like i'm legit losing currency by having rarity and turning some of the amulets/rings blue

[civic nacelle]

ahh

[dusky star]

you're not losing currency, dw

[civic nacelle]

did not realize it affected currency, wtf

[dusky star]

yeah, it's dumb

[civic nacelle]

it didn't do that in poe1 right?

[dusky star]

did not, yep

[civic nacelle]

how does the rarity upgrade work on currency?

just more likely to drop exalts, chaos, divs etc?

that's quite bizarre

i am super fucking confused

is there some mechanic that makes expedition mobs basically invincible?

i'm getting chased around by expedition mobs that are taking literally near 0 dmg

while every other mob on the map is getting oneshot

[viral blaze]

nah they just op af

lol i still getting 1 shoted from time to time

[jade oriole]

Some of the modifiers can make them immune to certain types of damage depending on where you chose to place your charges

[viral blaze]

dumb stuff

[civic nacelle]

ohhhhhhhhhhh

they must be immune to my lightning dmg

i did not notice at all

yikes

[viral blaze]

btw anyone knows any tricks how to create portal to hideout FROM chaos

[jade oriole]

Most likely, I had that exact one earlier

[dusky star]

btw, next time before you pop the detonator, you can mouse-over the little expedition icon in the bottom right, then it shows you the positive/negative effects you will get from remnants if you pop there

then if you see something bad, you can ctrl-v (or whatever the keybind is) to undo and replace

[civic nacelle]

ahh thank you

that was miserable and hilarious

my dude has about ~1% of his damage as physical

and 99% as lightning

[wary oxide]

guys plz remind me - Simulacrum run has the best chance to drop the flask at level 0, right?

[civic nacelle]

i've seen it recommended not to run burning ground on some builds

why is that?

it seems pretty harmless

[thorn rose]

I'm doing trial of chaos and cannot use my movement speed in the thethered hearts... what's that interaction?

[dusky star]

afaik 0 and 1 should be the same, but yes

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Simulacrum_(encounter)#Drops

[wary oxide]

thanks! I was just doing max level and totally forgot how the flask thing works

[dusky star]

but max level has the added fun of huge megalomaniac gambles

(they usually suck)

[stray geyser]

so what should i do against this as stormweaver? 😄

[storm sonnet]

anyone got some tips for ssf? just started one and hope it wont be too brutal

[stray geyser]

check the trader after every level up!

dont hold your currency back for the endgame, just slam it if you feel like it gives you a boost!

[storm sonnet]

alright will do , wanna get stuff myself instead of relying on trading

[stray geyser]

yeah I just playing every class rn to level 90 just to get to know about them and than playing them ssf in the league

[storm sonnet]

i got only my merc and monk to 90 something decided to just go ssf as a pconc

[empty lintel]

first triple res i found in da wild

[stray geyser]

unlucky 😄

[hearty harbor]

Can someone please point me to any resources that guide on how to constuct my atlast tree (espeically if im in SSF)?

[tiny ether]

how to i make my xesht fight be a tier4?

[viral blaze]

does -defence affect ur shield in trial???????

[summer robin]

Hi guys, how much is this? Thank you

[crisp light]

#price-check📉

Like 20-40 exalts in my opinion

[summer robin]

Thank you

[gleaming parcel]

anyone know what triggers the rares showing up on the minimap?

[viral blaze]

since when they rised soo much in price??????????????????????

im doomed

[stray geyser]

you should slam quality to 20 and vaal it

[viral blaze]

They were like 65 2-3 days ago

[viral blaze]

200 monsters remaining

[gleaming parcel]

thank you!

[summer robin]

Omgg haha. Tempted. There's a lot of offer @ 120ex. So I sold it already haha

[viral blaze]

F

[gleaming parcel]

is the amount/rarity of currency dropped affected by monster level of the map?

question boils down to - is it worth juicing these high quant/rarity t14s i have with delirium for extra rare mobs? just for running on swamp maps for currency drops

[viral blaze]

I think its just lvl of items except for maybe few items like divs idk

[storm sonnet]

if ill switch back from ssf to normal will all my curency get transferred as well?

[trail dove]

is Golden Charm still bugged?

[crisp light]

Filters

[gleaming parcel]

rare monsters

[crisp light]

Ooh..

If there is like 4 left

[gleaming parcel]

that guy said it was when you have 200 or less monsters remaining, which seems correct

[crisp light]

Then they show up

[gleaming parcel]

no, i've had way more than 4 show up before

[crisp light]

That or 200 monsters left

Usually they appear on my map when there is 4 left

[tribal jackal]

the rarity one?

if the rarity one yes

it doesnt work

[pulsar hollow]

should i just start selling logbooks i find at this point? or keep doing them to max out the tree first?

the increased rare monster spawn might be worth it?

[pseudo crater]

im ssf an i have a few divine, what is the best thing to use them on because I dont want to waste them

[tribal jackal]

id get the 8 for the sake of having them

but expeditions are not worth it atm so yeah u can sell

[vague temple]

its a shame really, I like the little minigame you do when you buy items from the expedition vendor

[tribal jackal]

not much atm
keep them for when you get a godly item that has rolled high tiers but low rolls inside those tiers

not much you can use otherwise

[pulsar hollow]

its a shame that its literally a waste of time to do logbooks that dont have the boss...
i love the content...
and so far the boss drops are also usually bad...

[tribal jackal]

im sure they will fix that in future content updates

[pulsar hollow]

fingers crossed

[tribal jackal]

doubt ggg hates money as much as i do

[pulsar hollow]

i like making my own difficulty with expeditions
and i like the idea of crafting valuable items with the traders
its just...
not great

[civic nacelle]

p sure it's just

a random mob on the map

kill it = can see rares

i've had maps come down to the last few mobs before i got the indicator

and i've had maps where i got the indicator after killing the first white pack

[gleaming parcel]

that'd be weird

[civic nacelle]

sure maybe, but is that not your experience as well?

[gleaming parcel]

yeah it is consistent with mine

[civic nacelle]

i'm sure you've had it proc super early and super late a variety of times

i'm 100% sure i've had it proc without ever killing a rare

[tribal jackal]

when less than 250 mobs are on the map

[gleaming parcel]

i've also had rares not show up on the minimap, even after it was triggered and others were showing

[idle hazel]

It occurs when there are few enough enemies left on the map. I don't recall the exact threshold.

[tribal jackal]

250

[civic nacelle]

so is it just because some maps are gigantic and some are small?

[idle hazel]

Possibly.

[civic nacelle]

ig it procs early on small maps without many mobs cus it hits that 250 threshold fast

[tribal jackal]

yee

on some maps

[gaunt trail]

Another silly question - trampletoe boots “give 50% increased attribute requirement” - does this mean items that require say 50 strength will need more attributes to use it?

[tribal jackal]

u can kill 1 mob

and insta finish map

😄

had it happen once tho

[idle hazel]

Wiki says 200, btw, not sure which is correct but they're close enough either way.

[tribal jackal]

probably wiki

[civic nacelle]

ya makes sense, i usually see it proc super early on that tiny crypt map

[tribal jackal]

i got the 250 from this server

so i could have been told wrong

[tribal jackal]

increased or decreased?

but yes

[idle hazel]

Okay, tracked it down, patch notes say 200.

[tribal jackal]

if it says 50% more then u will need 75 str

[civic nacelle]

ah good to know

[tribal jackal]

previusly 50? damn

tho 200 is still not enoug :d

[gaunt trail]

Damn. I was hoping it would save me as I need more attributes 😂

[tribal jackal]

considering how pointless are trash mobs in poe 2 we need to find rares even faster

[tribal jackal]

if that is already on the item

it should be automaticly calculated

if it says 50 and it has the mod

its not going to be 75

[trail dove]

is this a known issue? Grapples not expiring after mob is dead

[tribal jackal]

never seen that

huh

weird

[trail dove]

dropping back to hideout and back into map fixes it

[wintry aspen]

should i stock low tier maps ? is there any reason to keep them

[tribal jackal]

its a bug then

probably good to report it

[tribal jackal]

u can 3 to 1 them into the reforge

[wintry aspen]

what happens i when i do that

[tribal jackal]

you get the next lvl

3 lvl 1 maps turn in 1 lvl 2 map

[wintry aspen]

hmm what about the corrupted ones

do i discard them

[tribal jackal]

u cant

i just sell them

more gold

[wintry aspen]

is it worth to collect t14s to make em t15

[tribal jackal]

i did it

[wintry aspen]

or its waste of time in ur opinion

[tribal jackal]

t13-15

tbh

no big difference between playing a t13 or t15 map

if u find a good t13 map with good mods

just run it

[civic nacelle]

how do you anoint an amulet?

[tribal jackal]

they will fix in soon im guessing

[wintry aspen]

first find the skill u want and press on alt. then buy the required distilleds

[civic nacelle]

do you know of any super cheap anoints that'd be useful for a galvanic gemling

[wintry aspen]

i dont know sorry

[tribal jackal]

#1308715058716610580 and find the church of whatever class u are playing

they are usually helpful

and know more

[civic nacelle]

ty

[pulsar hollow]

so charms only activate after the effect occurred, right?
so whats the point in stuff like thawing charms?
arent you already screwed if you get frozen?

[acoustic bane]

It activates and immediately breaks you out by making you immune for X seconds

[pulsar hollow]

oh i see

well
then this could have prevented multiple deaths to runic monsters in expedition...

[acoustic bane]

Thawing only has 1 use and takes quite a while to recharge, but it's still pretty nice. I'm using the Freeze and Stun Charms. You'll notice your character stopping momentarily, but it's much less time than the full freeze. And as long as there isn't constant freezes going on, the X immunity time is usually enough

[open crystal]

hello, can anybody help with game mechanic?

im playing aurabot build with Alch Boon

why i didnt heal ES to my friend with my life flask?

[pulsar hollow]

i used stun before, but my recent deaths were all to being frozen
and now i got over 10k hp with grim feast, so im fine with short staggers

[acoustic bane]

See if you can get a belt with +1 Charm slots and you can have both : )

[pulsar hollow]

running ingenuity rn

[viscid basalt]

Hey I know it’s pretty broad but what stat needs to be the highest for tempest flurry legionnaire?

[pulsar hollow]

after getting howa the prio is dex = or > int > str imo

this is what im running rn

[viscid basalt]

Ok I’ll try my best to rework, how much lower can str be. I want to make sure I keep it somewhat balanced. But didn’t know how far a gap it can be behind

[acoustic bane]

Someone else may be better able to answer this question, but for yourself you need to have the Eternal Youth keystone for the Life Flask to apply to Energy Shield. I don't know if your party members need that as well.

[open crystal]

yes i have this one, and my teammates also. it is just didnt work. idk)

[pulsar hollow]

from what i know, you want str to always be at max 20% less than int

as str is still quite useful, especially for health

also im not sure if ingenuity, especially one with that low of a roll, is truly worth it, unless your rings are REALLY good
a rare belt with some nice resists and stats might be better

[viscid basalt]

Ok that’s some good input! I’ll sell it back and get the res back! I just thought it would be like bis even bad roll lol!

[pulsar hollow]

ingenuity is amazing once you have great rings and/or a high roll
i personally have a 57% ingenuity that i bought only after i got 1 div rings (each)

[viscid basalt]

Yea my rings are trash lmao

[rustic canyon]

why is audience with king so expensive? Wanted to try him out, but 7d while ingenuity is 20d?

[dire solstice]

if i got a cluster of 4 towers on my map and i wanna do breaches, should i put 4 breach tablets in or do i also put some other tabs in?

[pine grove]

What would be the best runes to put on this? I'm looking at either 30% shock, 30% elemental damage, or just 2 iron runes, unless there is something better.

Lightning merc build btw

[tribal jackal]

im a ranger and for us i know elemental runes are just better than iron

double 30% increased elemental might be a good idea for you as well

[pine grove]

Thanks

[tribal jackal]

elemental isnt really calculated into the dps of the bow

but its a biiig dmg boost

[pine grove]

Thats what I'm looking for lol

80 exalts down the drain hope it's worth it

[tribal jackal]

you should try pob

it tell yous if it will give more dps

[pine grove]

pob?

[green spire]

Apologies if this is a stupid question haha....if t15 is the highest stone to drop on the wild and once corrupted to t16 cannot be levelled higher, how are you able to get t17 and higher stones??

And...I've vaaled a load of t15 stones and never got a 16. Am I just unlucky or am I missing something? Cheers

[tribal jackal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGNNc2WFGt4&t=1s

when you learn pob

you will spend 50% of your time there

[pine grove]

lmao

[green spire]

I wish PoB was available for us console players

[tribal jackal]

i havent even played poe 2 in 2 weeks

i just sit in pob thinking

😄

[tribal jackal]

do u have a tablet?

[pine grove]

Sounds like something I would do

Thanks again

[tribal jackal]

https://pob.cool/poe2

[green spire]

Got an iPad if that's what you're referring to (, rather than precursors lol)

[tribal jackal]

there is an browser version

[tribal jackal]

precursors tablet/ipad tablet same thing

both dissaponting /s

[green spire]

But how do I get my character data out of the playstation and into PoB?

[green spire]

Haha. Yea I hardly use my iPad

[tribal jackal]

you dont get a t17 stone
a t15 waystone + corruption = t16 map
a t15 waystone + irridation = t16 map
a t15 waystone + curruption + irridation = t17 map
a t16 waystone + curruption + irridation = t18 map

[tribal jackal]

manually

[vague temple]

currently you cant directly import even on pc

[tribal jackal]

cus we dont have the tools to importem them yet

[vague temple]

the only thing pc can do is copy items from the game into pob

tree and gems still have to be manually input

[tribal jackal]

you can copy items from trade market as well

[green spire]

Bugger that!!!

[warm bobcat]

Assuming as I get points in my breach tree farming breach splinters becomes faster

[tribal jackal]

if u copy an item like this

pob will recognise it

just ctr v in pob and it works

[tribal jackal]

yes

you will get more drops

[vague temple]

cool trick, thanks

[warped spire]

depending on the nodes u select yes. i suggest setting it up like this when u can

[warm bobcat]

Ahhh ok cool thanks. I haven't done any breech boss successfully but I feel like when I get to that on my merc rn I will smash it

[warped spire]

if you only get 2 pts

i very very very much suggest getting just this node

all 3 of those cant proc at once

[vague temple]

wtf does a 15 breach map look like lmao

insane

[warped spire]

but its really nice when u get extras

[warm bobcat]

Assuming that iuf you have like a 3 breech map and spawn all those at once it would be like 3x the mobs sort of

[warped spire]

well depending on how juiced the node/map are it can be almost no mobs or so many that u cant move

[tribal jackal]

10 is max i think

ive seen 4 breach hands in 1 map

[warped spire]

tech yes but, it would be very hard to keep all 3 clear which is the goal

ive only seen 10 one time so far and i farmed 2 entire breachstones from it lol

[vague temple]

jesus

[warm bobcat]

2 stones from 1 map? Thats crazy haha

[vague temple]

thats a lot of clicking on breach splinters

[warped spire]

took me like 45 mins to loot man

took me longer to loot than it did to clear all the breaches

[vague temple]

https://tenor.com/view/big-oof-size-small-medium-switch-gif-17355313

[warped spire]

i get 2 and 4 breach maps alot tho. p much every 3rd map i do has at least 2

[shy sentinel]

Hi, if I'm working on my pinnacle of flame quest, do the map boss points make the citadels / arbiter harder/easier? Can I take points out of the tree to make getting it done easier?

[tribal jackal]

harder

you level up pinical bosses

u can always de-level him

[warped spire]

unspecing the pts will make them easier but im not entirely sure if u can get the last 2 pts from killing arbiter w/o them all specd

[tribal jackal]

for easier fights but then they drop less items

or some times dont even drop

[median vector]

why are white stellar amulets so valuable?

[tribal jackal]

each points you need to level the boss

no matter which boss

[tribal jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/gamba-gif-25945486

[warped spire]

people use chance orbs on them to gamble for a astramentis

[tribal jackal]

rich bored people gablem them

[median vector]

chance orbs?

[tribal jackal]

with orb of chance

[jade oriole]

The normal drops are kinda rare and chance orbs can only be used on normal

[median vector]

ah chance not alchemy lol, i keep mixing those up in my head

[warped spire]

thats what i thought. so u will be able to fight arbiter but if you do not have the pts specd u will not get ur last 2 pts

[median vector]

i was like, how the hell you get a unique with an alchemy lol

[tribal jackal]

correct

[warped spire]

do you need boss pts spec'd for arbiter to drop prism?

[wanton dawn]

somebody asked how a 15 breach looks like

Yes.

[prime wave]

[fresh jetty]

im trying to add blink into my spark archmage build on my 2nd weapon set, the cooldown being 3s and not able to roll inbetween blinks is a bit rough. any fix? im not sure what support gems to put on blink either

[fresh jetty]

jesus

even filtering the blues out its still a ton

[tribal jackal]

please get a filter

[wanton dawn]

nah im good

LMAO

[tribal jackal]

do it for me

please

[wanton dawn]

omggg

stop itsn ot that bad

[tribal jackal]

😄

[wanton dawn]

hell yea

u know people biggest critism of poe 2 in the forums,was that theres not enough loot dropping

[fresh jetty]

WTF

[tribal jackal]

good loot*

[wanton dawn]

thats good loot if ua sk me

[fresh jetty]

u dont even care abt rare items or gold atp huh

[wanton dawn]

we do,we just sit there extra hour to pick shit up

LOL

[pulsar hollow]

i just wish we had more loot, especially more MEANINGFUL loot in the campaign

endgame the amount of loot is great, once you get some mf

[green spire]

Ah perfect thanks for the explanation. I was thinking you could get t17 stones 🙄
So irradiated t15 stones are t16 maps.... I just need more luck vaaling my t15s it seems. How many tries does it take on average I wonder

[harsh siren]

what kind of tool people are using to check prices of items?

[vague temple]

does corrupting a waystone add to monster level?

[tribal jackal]

only if it rolls from a t15 to t16

[reef osprey]

For the temple of chaos is it possible to take out the fragments after putting them in for the trialmaster at the end? I've already got my ascendancy and while farming a bit I thought I'd run it again for any good drops to sell from trialmaster but now I realise they're all pretty worthless besides the jewel with low drop chance so I'm better off selling the fragments

[fallow stone]

Should I use a T16 map for Moment of Zen merchant or is a T15 fine

[silent flame]

i killed the map boss and it locked me inside the boss arena

[hollow jay]

is there a comprehensive sheet of what affixes are good on what items?

of some sort

i keep having to ask people and since its my first time playing and im a witch, i only half know whats good for my own class

let alone others

[warped spire]

u need a stricter loot filter XD

[harsh siren]

dont waste t16 for this, keep them for actual maps

[bold mortar]

what content does megalomaniac diamond jewel drop from?

[warped spire]

simulacra boss

[bold mortar]

ty

[tribal jackal]

nah ill upgrade my eyes

[crimson bough]

How do i get the stregth in there? Just Vaal orb and hope i get it?

[vague temple]

yep

[crimson bough]

I done like 20 and no luck 😦

[vague temple]

you really need that strength?

[undone heath]

attribute stacker

[crimson bough]

Im playing Strength stacking gemling

Not sure if the attribute stacking is better?

[hollow jay]

is there a comprehensive sheet of what affixes are good on what items?
of some sort
i keep having to ask people and since its my first time playing and im a witch, i only half know whats good for my own class
let alone others

or other resource regarding affixes

[vague pike]

Use the market.

[vague temple]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Modifiers

[vague pike]

And PoE2 db :<

[warped spire]

you want to stack all of them as they all do something different. your int is the most important

[crimson bough]

so im doing something wrong i have like 600 Strength 200 Dex and 61 int

[warped spire]

when you are in endgame gear you will have pillar of the caged gods quarterstaff and hand of wisdom and action gloves.

the idea is

[crimson bough]

Im basically playing this build https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/d6a57a1a-17d1-4dd4-85a6-66535fbf6410/builds/1ff0566b-f0ed-4a87-9e36-070f9d4f219f

[warped spire]

you stack int for dmg and aoe

[wintry aspen]

where to loot for breach rings

[vague pike]

Breaches

[warm bobcat]

swap strength and int arouind and you'll be good

[wintry aspen]

is it mob drop or hands

[warped spire]

seems like this build is stacking as much str as possible to try and be super tanky. imo you dont need to be super tanky when u literally oneshot entire screens of mobs

including bosses

[vague pike]

Think both mobs inside breaches and hands/things you walkover can drop them, not 100% sure I blitz through them so fast

[warped spire]

this is correct both the mobs and the clasped hands can drop the breach rings

[warped spire]

this is where im at with my stats

[crimson bough]

So what i can do is trying to even the numbers between the 3 attributes then?

[warped spire]

so you want as much int as possible. pref only take int nodes on passive tree

and then u get the str and dex from gear.

there is a few dex nodes u take on tree

these ones speciffically

[honest karma]

so i'm following item filters on the website and for some reason they're not showing up in my game settings? any idea why

[warped spire]

try clicking this

[vague pike]

Did you download or sync them via Filterblade?

[honest karma]

for some reason it's greyed out for me

[honest karma]

no i just tried to follow it from the item filter ladder

i'm on a new computer it worked on my other one

[warped spire]

do you use POB by chance?

[honest karma]

so i tried unfollowing and then refollowing it

[vague pike]

Item filter ladder?

[honest karma]

but it ddin't show up this time

[honest karma]

ye

[vague pike]

Link the website where you are trying to get a filter from

[crimson bough]

Yes but i cant load the build on it I have to do it manually

[civic nacelle]

what's the benefit of this atlas keystone?

[honest karma]

https://www.pathofexile.com/item-filter/ladder/follower/type/PoE2

[civic nacelle]

doesn't that just make the mobs harder?

or does it also increase their drops or something

[honest karma]

just trying to get neversinks strict filter

[vague pike]

Go to Filterblade

https://www.filterblade.xyz/?game=Poe2

[honest karma]

can i get filters from filterblade without logging in with my poe2 account?

[vague pike]

Yes.

If you download afaik

Filterblade is Neversink

[honest karma]

ok chill thanks if i download which file path do i put the downloaded file into

[honest karma]

ye i figured just didn't want to risk logging into his website even so

[vague pike]

Click on the folder icon

[warped spire]

here is a link to my build. if you want to compare. if u have any questions feel free to ask. i suggest following my tree tho. its been really good to mehttps://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/3u92u013

[vague pike]

Risk?

[honest karma]

thanks brother

[vague pike]

Filterblade sends you to the official site to link.

You are not giving Filterblade your login information

[honest karma]

oh does it? that's cool

thanks for the info

and the help

[civic nacelle]

what's the value of this node? it seems like a negative

[honest karma]

from what ive heard it gives more loot if they have more modifiers

[civic nacelle]

ah

[warped spire]

the more mods on a mob the higher its drop quant

[civic nacelle]

speaking of which

i've been completely winging my atlas tree

does anyone have any recommendations lol

[crimson bough]

here is my skill tree only

[warped spire]

this is mine. so far its been good to me

[vague pike]

This is what I use, but thats for endgame

Like T16-18 when map sustain isnt an issue

[civic nacelle]

ah man every tree i see looks so different LMAO

[vague pike]

Dont be a sheep :d Do what you need

[warped spire]

^

there is no right or wrong tree, just pick waht u think is best for u

[vague pike]

If you need more waystone drops, spec into that. If you need higher modifiers from Suffix/Prefix/Tablets etc spec something like above

[civic nacelle]

what's the value of the higher modifiers

[vague pike]

We just answered that :d

More loot

[civic nacelle]

o yea sorry i mean like

relative to the other nodes you could take that scale loot

item quant / pack size / magic packs / rare mob count etc

[crimson bough]

@warped spire here https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/ua8mk0ye

[vague pike]

So if you have Quant/Rarity on map it will magnify that effect

[fresh jetty]

about to destroy for chance orbs, any of these are levelling gears i should save for new character levelling?

[warped spire]

ok i see why that build wants u stacking life. its cause this node

[fresh jetty]

only one i know is ghostwrithe vest

[crimson bough]

yup damage seems fine to be honest

and all my resistances are plus 75% and chaos is at 65%

[warped spire]

yea that build i sent u has old gear for me. im capped if i change my boots but i like trampletoe

[wary oxide]

yo guys, need an advice here: I'm looking to rebuild my jewel tree under a new Adorned. what is the best low-cost strat to get the following here - I care only to get:

1. Minions increased dmg +15;
2. Minions attack and castspeed +4;
3. Obviously Corrupted in the end not losing the stat rolls;

So do I buy super low rolls and divine like twice+corrupt? do I buy +13 +3 (which are not that crazy like the perfect double stats that go for 50Div each) and just vaal? or buy +15 +4 and vaal? In other words, is there a way to do this effectively and not waste my entire currency tab in the process?

[warped spire]

im kinda curious as to how that build is working mind if we do a map together?

[crimson bough]

sure

[warped spire]

name is specblinks in game

[uncut fiber]

Is there boosting in poe2?

I read my lvl wrong cant use the Expert cultist hammer i specced into

[crimson bough]

u want to go in chat really quick

[warped spire]

sure

[wary oxide]

tweet at Elon Musk, he might give a tip or two

[uncut fiber]

OK ty

[formal sentinel]

do I need to actually beat all 3 citadels to fight arbiter the first time? I have two fragments, just wondering if I can buy the third or if it won't trigger if I don't do the mission

[trail dove]

OK, as much as I'm loving my Witch, is there a fairly quick mapping build with low initial investment?

[elfin folio]

hihi, can logbooks drop during the big expedition maps? or only during the events in waystone maps? thanks

[sacred solar]

can you annoint corrupted amulet?

[bleak jackal]

does my maps need to be of a higher level for the claps hands to drop breach splinters? i've farmed breaches yesterday and today on t3 maps and got no splinters

i've only dropped catalysts

[scenic torrent]

Anyone have a link for a levelling crono mancer sorc till I hit endgame?

All the leveling guides are stormweaver

[amber helm]

no

[copper crane]

I was in the same boat. I bought the third piece and did the fight just fine.

[formal sentinel]

nice one thanks

[sullen geyser]

Is divine orb completely random?

[arctic crag]

yes

[sullen geyser]

So unless I have multiple of them it's better to not touch somewhat good item I have equipped?

[final horizon]

A more deterministic approach is to sell the devine orb's and then use your money to buy better items

[sullen geyser]

Most of the time whenever I find good item I never get answer

Maybe there is something wrong with me lol

[wanton dawn]

wdym trading

[dry jewel]

How to increase quantity on maps?

[scenic torrent]

Rng or precursor tabs

[barren anchor]

How far do I have to go to find a hideout?

[flat plinth]

What is the full name of homa again so i can search them on the trade site

[arctic crag]

howa? hands of wisdom and action iic

idk if hands or hand

probably hands

[arctic crag]

The first one is like within 4-5 nodes from what I saw for me and a friend, idk if it can be different for others

[flat plinth]

Thank you

[barren anchor]

i cant seem to find one

or maybe i just dont know what its supposed to look like?

[wanton dawn]

top left when u open atlas map

there shows icons with explanation

a

[barren anchor]

thenks

[flat plinth]

I guess this is okay for a deadeye ranger ?

[gentle bear]

This my build, why the FUCK i keep dying to random shit in non juiced t15 maps?

I have 3000 es and using grim feast

[hearty comet]

Wed need to see passive tree and your C panel for resists et

[gentle bear]

I have about 85-90 res each, using the node that ignores chaos damage

Will take a screenshot of it, but i need to install

As this bullshit made me uninstall it today

I wouldnt mind deaths to bosses but even in trials i get fucked up by the most basic shit 100 to 0 in 0.1 seconds

[wanton dawn]

nice staff,i think i had a better one in campain act 2

[gentle bear]

Good for you, but if you dont have anything useful to say you can go fuck yourself honestly

[wanton dawn]

lols

big mad

[gentle bear]

Nah, just came for advice not to talk with incels

[flat plinth]

What a fun person

[acoustic bane]

It's a popular item with stat stacking Gemling.

[flat plinth]

What is gemling? My friend told me to get a homa if i can and i think this one with cold pen is okayish

Sorry I dont know much about this game

[gentle bear]

Its a merc ascendancy

[flat plinth]

Oh so it isnt good for deadeye?

[gentle bear]

I cant tell you exactly as I dont play ranger, try asking @wanton dawn it seems he knows everything

[flat plinth]

Being passive aggressive doesnt help anybody atp

[dire solstice]

how should i go about upgrading my skill gems further? rn i just have them lv18 and 20% quality but isnt it time to get them corrupted aswell?

[wanton dawn]

just say u love me

stop playing the hardball

[flat plinth]

I love you

[quartz niche]

Are you allowed to use an item filter for your game?

[flat plinth]

If you mean the ingame loot Filter sure

They have an Option for it

In the settings

[gentle bear]

My passives and resists

[sullen geyser]

How do I open that distilling menu? I had some kind of flask and when I used it it moved into pop-up menu, closed menu acidently and now I don't have the item

Or delirium menu idk how it called, flask was envy-something

something to do with skills in the tree

[arctic crag]

press on an emotion again, idk what key for PC but on PS it says press square to open menu and then press square again to put emotion into the interface

[sullen geyser]

That's the thing I don't have the emotion it's in the popup menu

And that was my only emotion I had

[tropic quarry]

Honestly, just buy one of the cheapest emotions from alva.

[sullen geyser]

Which one is cheapest?

[tropic quarry]

Probably ire off the top of my head? The first in the currency exchange should be good.

Would just check the first 2-3. Maybe see if one is needed for a distill you want to do in the future.

[sullen geyser]

Ok now that I actually have some is there a quick guide what even tf is it?

[tropic quarry]

Takes three emotions to anoint an amulet, check details on a notable you want to see which three it takes.

Or put a waystone in the top to see what the emotion would add to the map.

[sullen geyser]

what does it do for it?

[tropic quarry]

Gives you the notable.

[sullen geyser]

Which is...?

[tropic quarry]

One of the passive nodes on the skill tree.

There are small nodes, notables, and keystones.

You will spot notables pretty easily as they're bigger than the small nodes, but not as big as the keystones.

[sullen geyser]

I already unlocked notable with tree skill points

[tropic quarry]

Somtimes they are far away.

This lets you unlock a notable without skill points.

[sullen geyser]

Oh you mean I can unlock it with emotions without a whole path to it?

Or just not spend points?

[tropic quarry]

Both.

[sullen geyser]

How much of them I can unlock at the same time?

[tropic quarry]

You may have a single anoint on your amulet.

[sullen geyser]

Just as I thought I could have all of them you ruined it lmao

[fiery stream]

hey guys anyone is selling "cheap" ascendancy services?

[sullen geyser]

I can sell you carry of me for free

[tropic quarry]

You can try to find a group in #2┃looking-for-group , but we don't sell services here.

Try a discord that handles that sort of thing instead.

[sullen geyser]

welp I'll look into funny notables, thx

[slate pine]

do delrious monsters proc hearld of ice?

ive heard that in simulacrum they dont

[wanton dawn]

no

[brisk crest]

guys, does rarity of item drop affect waystone tiers or orb "quality" chance i.e. divine will drop more often?

[potent wraith]

Guys; is there a fast way to get items priced on ps? Like an app or a website that price everything you have 😄

[jade oriole]

It’s been workin fine for me, I don’t do the swap damage type thing tho I use the sapphire shatter ring.

[wispy sierra]

hello guys can someone tell me where i can find a Trails of Chaos Boost? i pay with ex orbs

[vague pike]

Not on this server.

Try looking at TFT

[dire solstice]

yo i went into inventory during zarokh to pause the game but it glitched the boss now im stuck. is the only fix restarting my game and retrying the trial?

[glossy perch]

is Omen of Amelioration a consumable item?

[vague pike]

When you die it poofs

[glossy perch]

oh lame..

I'll trade it away..

[vague pike]

You click on it to activate it

[glossy perch]

it's so expensive to get and relatively rare..

[vague pike]

Most people pushing over 95 use them

[glossy perch]

hmm okay

[vague pike]

You can buy them in bulk on Alva 😄

[glossy perch]

oh yeah lol

[vague pike]

Think they were 120 ex per unit when I died last

[glossy perch]

I got it for 50 ex

for some reason I didn't think it would disappear on use

[pseudo nimbus]

is loot from citadel bosses ever good?

[vague pike]

If it didnt it would be broken

[pseudo nimbus]

feels no different from normal bosses

[vague pike]

The fragments are the real thing

[pseudo nimbus]

oh

do u get 2 guaranteed?

[vague pike]

The higher waystone drop chance on your waystones the more drop

Think max is 4

[pseudo nimbus]

what extra waystone drop % would you aim for? (and does this mean that map level doesn't matter?)

[vague pike]

You need one from each Citadel to do Arbiter

I think they need to be T14-15

I do 600% dropchance+

but they get harder

[pseudo nimbus]

woah how do you get 600%

[full matrix]

do more soul cores drop from trials with more players in the party?

[pseudo nimbus]

best i've gotten is like 350

[vague pike]

Get all suffixes on it

[pseudo nimbus]

i do that

[vague pike]

Suffixes = Things that make it harder

[pseudo nimbus]

are there atlas nodes that u need to take or something

[vague pike]

Waystones have both prefix and suffixes

[pseudo nimbus]

I use exalts on them until i cant anymore

never seen 400%+

[vague pike]

Those add both suffixes and prefixes

[pseudo nimbus]

yeah but im getting max suffixes this way

no?

[vague pike]

I dont think you understand what the difference is.

[pseudo nimbus]

i know you can have 3 prefixes and 3 suffixes on an item

[vague pike]

Quantity, rarity, rare mobs, etc

those are all prefixes

Suffixes = More stun, more damage, more crit

etc

You need 6 suffixes to get 600+ waystone

[pseudo nimbus]

oh, you can have more than 3 suffixes on waystones?

[vague pike]

Yes.

You can get maps with all suffixes (good for Citadels)

and all prefixes (good for everything else)

[pseudo nimbus]

is this done through use of omens?

[vague pike]

It can be.

[pseudo nimbus]

if not you just need to get lucky with exalts I assume?

[vague pike]

All suffixes

You need to corrupt the item ofc

[pseudo nimbus]

so if I'm understanding correctly, a waystone can have up to 3 suffixes and 3 prefixes at a time (6 modifiers total)
you can get 6 suffixes with omens, or a lucky corruption.
did I get that right?

[vague pike]

No you need to corrupt it. There are some Omens however that adds a GTD amount of prefixes etc

But when you corrupt it you risk losing them

Like Omen of Sinestral alc

gives you a max amount of prefix on roll when using alc orbs on a white map

[pseudo nimbus]

oh ok

I'll look into it

tyvm

[vague pike]

Just note that the citadel boss on a 600+ map with the right atlas (you can get like 1110% waystone) slaps harder :d

[empty lintel]

how hard is trial master to do >?

and the only notable drops r adorned and mahu right?

[dull plank]

Imo he’s very easy. Only 2 real attacks to watch for

[empty lintel]

i just got all 3 i needed, and wondering if its worth to sell all parts for around a div via currency or if its worth to try to farm him

[dull plank]

The sunder like attack and his weird explosive mace thing

[empty lintel]

im playing sorc stormweaver with blink so if i can spam from afar and blink out and oneshot mb worth

[pulsar hollow]

what is currently the value of the different breach tablets? got a bunch and want to sell them

[viral blaze]

I don't think u can get much for them tbf

[vague pike]

If they have high quant/rarity rolls

they sell for quite a bit

[pulsar hollow]

then how come people keep listing them for hundreds of exalts to 1 div?
this confuses me

[vague pike]

I just answered you

[pulsar hollow]

so its specifically the highrolls of itemdrops, huh

[vague pike]

Rarity and quant among others

[viral blaze]

Dang thats surprising since breach stones drop that much in price

[vague pike]

What does breach stones have to do with tablets?

[ornate marsh]

Wtf???? If you die in a map you loose all 6 portals?

[vague pike]

Yes

[ornate marsh]

Wwwwwwwwwwhat

[gleaming parcel]

welcome to endgame

[pulsar hollow]

well lets see if a 19% rarity 8 map tablet gets a div
what is a reasonable low end for bad tablets?

[vague pike]

Youd have to look at market

[gleaming parcel]

i sell t15s for like 2ex - 15chaos depending on how i'm feeling

[pulsar hollow]

i worry that i end up sharking myself
but i guess i try like
50 for now?

[vague pike]

#price-check📉

[gleaming parcel]

if i need to clean out a tab, 2ex

[pulsar hollow]

god i wish there was a damn auction house
pricefixers ruin the whole trade system for me
because i cant just easily look at the market to quickly know prices

[wintry aspen]

is there point of keeping low tier maps in my stash ?

[vague pike]

There is. Its called the market website.

Exactly the same as AH just out of game

[gleaming parcel]

i kind of love that there isn't an auction house. adding friction to it makes it a lot more likely to find fun inefficiencies and get good deals.

[pulsar hollow]

market website?

[vague pike]

Where you sell things

[pulsar hollow]

the trade website isnt an AH
thats the issue for me
so many times you just have annoying pricefixers or other people that dont reply making trading so annoying at times

[gleaming parcel]

you can combine 3 in the reforging bench to make 1 tier higher

[gleaming parcel]

the fact that it's annoying is a feature imo

[wintry aspen]

im talking about really low tier its like t5-t10

[vague pike]

If you wanna do an alt

[gleaming parcel]

it's up to you if it's worth it or not. i don't find it is

[vague pike]

or sell them

[pulsar hollow]

cool
i dont like that feature
they REALLY should atleast do something to combat pricefixing
by taking down items that keep getting pings but dont sell for instance

its so annoying

[vague pike]

You learn to spot bait items

[pulsar hollow]

still an annoying barrier that doesnt need to exist imo

[vague pike]

Still EA

Prob wont changea anytime soon

[pulsar hollow]

yeah
but i hope this is still on the list like many other promises and claims they made
still a bit salty about the "playable on steamdeck" they claimed
now im in endgame and swapped to pc because i think constant 10-15 fps isnt very playable

[vague pike]

I know plenty of people that play it on Steamdeck. But playable is subjective

I wouldnt expect a portable to do endgame content easily

[pulsar hollow]

i came in not having played poe1
i expected the devs to mean the whole game is playable, if they say its playable.

[vague pike]

Where did they talk about being playable on Steamdeck?

I sit on a 4080 RTX and I go down to 20 fps when 6 people spam spark/deadeye skills

[pulsar hollow]

it was mentioned in an interview, where they said "they made sure the game is playable on the steamdeck"
been quite a while, so i cant tell you which interview it was

[vague pike]

So surely a steamdeck wont be able to do that 😄

[pulsar hollow]

sure, thats fine
its also understandable that my 4050 stutters for a short moment when i trigger a herald chain reaction
but in juiced maps on the deck you have CONSTANT 15 fps, not stutters

and it goes even lower half the time

and this was singleplayer...

[vague pike]

I thin playable and optimized is two very different things

Think *

[pulsar hollow]

sure but i dont think its reasonable to call anything thats on average below 20fps in gameplay at some point is playable

im fine with 30fps
but it couldnt stay there
and many people arent even fine with 30 fps these days

[vague pike]

You'd have to take that up with the devs :d

[pulsar hollow]

is farming xesht even worth it???
i keep killing t4 xesht but after 8 runs not one valuable item
i keep losing exalts

[median vector]

how many total ascendency points are there? I keep forgetting if its 8 or 10

[pulsar hollow]

8

4 sets of 2

[vague pike]

Take people from TFT (boost people)

Then you will earn money even when nothing drops

[sterile dirge]

My account had been locked. Why?

[vague pike]

Ask support

(GGG)

It tells you waht to do there

Read the text

[sterile dirge]

Seng email?

[vague pike]

Read the red text.

My guess is you talked too much shit ingame or violated their TOS somehow.

[sterile dirge]

[scenic ruin]

what classifies as a 'Unique' item? no unique dropped lol

[grizzled spear]

Strong boxes ppfft.
They should be called piss poor waste of my time weak boxes.. am I right!!

[turbid shore]

please help me understand: higher waystone level also means better drop rate (currency in my example)? Or, a yellow T8 waystone with maxed modifiers will give me better drop than a blue T15 waystone with just 2 modifiers…? Basically what i am trying to understand is the purpose of a T15 waystone for a non maxed account, other than opening citadels

[scenic ruin]

I have gotten 2 divs from them though

[scenic ruin]

you get higher lvl items in higher tiers - so T15 technically drops items with potentially higher rolls. the affixes on the waystone effect the % chance of way stones dropping

[grizzled spear]

Higher waystone means high mob lvl
So more exp and more chance for
Seasonal drops

[turbid shore]

ok more exp I get it, fair. But may I please ask what is a seasonal drop?

[scenic ruin]

you should look for a higher % waystone drop chance while you're farming anyways. I've run out of 15s before and had to buy a couple

[grizzled spear]

Currenct from delirium.breaches
Chance for logbooks from expedition
Chance for audience with the king from altars

Basically end game currency

You need to do 15s and vaal to 16 after lvl 90 if you want to see movement on your exp bar

[thorn rose]

Anything I should know before trying out my first citadel?

[pseudo nimbus]

this good?

[dire solstice]

any console endgame players who has got some tricks to get better performance, these breaches got me playing on 10 fps

[vague pike]

You only get 1 attempt.

[barren atlas]

wait a sec, so MOM's "50% Less Mana Recovery Rate" seems to actually be "50% less Mana Recovery"

cause for some reason im only just now realizing that my flasks only last their base duration

[vague pike]

You just said the same thing twice?

[barren atlas]

I thought "Rate" was the speed at which it happened

does increasing the recovery rate of a flask make it restore MORE, not just faster?

basically I dont undertand what putting the word "Rate" at the end of that means

[vague pike]

MoM changes your Mana Regen

This

It has nothing to do with flasks

[barren atlas]

no it says recovery

[vague pike]

Its how fast your Mana Pool regens

[barren atlas]

are you saying the tooltip is wrong?

[vague pike]

Test it. Look at the numbers under Mana.

With and without MoM

I'm saying you are reading it wrong.

And some of the tooltips might be worded weirdly, its still early days

[barren atlas]

but my flasks only restore 100 mana per second despite them being a 500 mana over 3 seonds flask and having the 15% faster mana recovery passive

it says recovery right there

not regeneration

[vague pike]

It is Mana regen.

Trust me.

I just showed you two screenshots

With MoM on and off

[barren atlas]

not with flasks

the screenshots mean nothing cause the only mana recovery in them is from regen

so obviousl regen and recovery are gonna be the same there

[upper warren]

It will cut all mana recovery by half

Flask, leech, regen, recoup

All will be cut by half

[vague pike]

There you have it. Apparently its both. I dont notice cause my Unique Mana flask

Refills all mana

Instantly.

[barren atlas]

then why would you say it wouldnt affect flasks lol

[vague pike]

Cause I thought it didnt?

[barren atlas]

yeah my dumbass just thought rate = speed. like with flasks. I thought mom would mean a 500/3sec flasks would become a 500/6sec

[vague pike]

This one re-fills all of my mana. Even if at 0

[barren atlas]

yeah I mean

you had no reason to belive what you were saying lol

whatever its all good. just double check before spreading false info next time

[vague pike]

🤣

You are asking other players. Ofcourse sometimes people will give you the wrong answer.

If you are so smart you shouldn't rely on random people 😊

[upper warren]

Instant recovery does not have a rate, as it's instant

[upper warren]

This is a bad reply

[vague pike]

Why? I answered to the best of my knowledge.

I was wrong and admitted it.

[barren atlas]

I already knew MOM affected flasks, I was only asking how.
You were telling me I was wrong in that it didnt affect flassk.

[compact acorn]

is there a way to farm the trial of sekhema activation thingy?

djinn whatever

[upper warren]

We get things wrong, the useful people don't do this

[upper warren]

In maps or act 2?

[compact acorn]

for my third ascencion

[vague pike]

Okay kiddo.

Lets move on

[upper warren]

You should not provide information if you're gonna act like this

[compact acorn]

so maps i guess

[pseudo nimbus]

local knowledge node on atlas tree and do desert biomes

[upper warren]

In maps there's areas that are more likely to drop ulti and barya

Desert yeah, thank you

[compact acorn]

okay i understand deserts, no idea what a knowledge node or an atlas tree is haha

just got to maps, im confused as hell

cheers, appreciate the help

[pseudo nimbus]

you need the local knowledge node

ctrl+U to open the atlas tree @compact acorn

[compact acorn]

im on ps5

found the tree, how do i gain passives to level it up?

this thing is massive lol

[pseudo nimbus]

doing the quests that you have

[compact acorn]

oh okay, im at the first one still. is it a passive point per quest?

[pseudo nimbus]

clear X maps of certain tiers

2pts per quest

it'll take a while

[compact acorn]

so need to finish 3 quests to reach

[pseudo nimbus]

yeah

[compact acorn]

okay im better get to it then

tyvm for the help

[pseudo nimbus]

np

[upper warren]

You can stock up a bunch of desert tiles during that too

[plush field]

Do you know of anyone willing to help with 4th ascenandy? Will pay in game currenct

[vague pike]

#2┃looking-for-group And we cant offer payments.

[limpid pilot]

When does Alva start rewarding Expert Dual Strings (lvl 78) from the random bow?

[vague pike]

How does Blood Mages do in terms of clearing maps?

[lethal summit]

is there anything more to breach than just killing minions and keeping oneself along the edge?

i heard there's a boss?

[vague pike]

When you get 300 splinters you can turn it into a Breach Stone

Then you go and fight the boss.

[lethal summit]

aaaaah

ok ok

[vague pike]

Then each time you beat him at a higher difficulty you get 2 points for your Atlas/Breach tree

[lethal summit]

oh nice

[vague pike]

Which also makes your Breaches better.

[lethal summit]

woooooooo

i like that

should i be buying splinters to speed that up?

[vague pike]

You can. I think 300 splinters/1 stone is 150 ex? 200ex?

I sold a bunch yesterday I cant remember the exact price, You can check with Alva/Market

[lethal summit]

ok ok

ty

[vague pike]

Just note you only get 1 attempt. Despite 6 portals. They are pushing out a patch soon where you get 6 attempts.

[lethal summit]

ooof

ah so that's what the patch note preview meant

guess it's a good time to wait for that

[vague pike]

Talk about timing

Unless thats a different patch

Nope should be it
