How are people making lots of div fast? Like how do they get the gear and items to sell for lots of div fast

[finite cave]

the moment I place this wand in store, I get spammed.. I did a price check but I don't think I did it right :/

[keen valve]

for how much are you putting it in?

[wary oxide]

yo, do splinters stack indefinitely or there's a cap?

[finite cave]

Any amount really.. In the price check, I select only the Gain 22% & Gain 28% prefixes as well as 107% & 30% suffixes and it shows a kalandra so I have no idea what to do.. is it realistic?

[finite cave]

Please retrieve 299 to your inventory and then retrieve 1 to make it 300 ==> Simulacrum

[wary oxide]

yeah, I know how to get a Simu
I'm just wondering if the number of splinters goes to 999999999 or there's a limit

[dusky star]

stuff stored under the currency tab can stack higher than usual

probably 5k

[wary oxide]

not really a useful info to know, just want to know lol

[finite cave]

Oh sorry 😅

[dusky star]

same reason people put like, catalysts etc. there

[keen valve]

no. it's probably because there are very little of those. this is no price check here but if the amount of those is too low to get a good idea of a number just put it up and raise the price till little amount of people are whispering

[wary oxide]

I'll try to test it with splinters, really curious as I never seen anyone claim smth for certain

[finite cave]

Thanks alot!

[dusky star]

if you get spammed just go way higher, obviously

so like 100-150d+ and see

[glass canyon]

how to buy an expensive omen in ritual? do I need to defer it several times to lower the price?

[proper hazel]

yes the more expensive things will need deferred, sometimes multiple times bfor your able to buy them

[fresh jetty]

im using filterblade and set my filter to very strict, but it kept teling me to get these so now ive got a full tab of whites and blues. what should i be doing with them?

[dusky star]

white stellar amulets are worth a lot (chance orb base)
white sapphire rings are worth quite a bit (chance orb base)
the rest are jewelry you could craft on, or not if you don't care

[wooden delta]

trying to work on simulacrum, is penetration useful when ive already got 59%-ish exposure?

or would exposure always surpass the res enemies in simul can obtain

[fresh jetty]

unfortunately i dont have any of those two, not exactly interested in spending exalts to craft since i dont know whats good stats and whats not. maybe regals?

[novel crow]

pen happens after exposure

[wooden delta]

yeah but does anyone know what the max res simul enemies can have

[novel crow]

so unless you're battling a boss with 75% resist, pen won't add anything after 60 exposure most of the time

[wooden delta]

ive only seen 50%

but i dunno if thats added on top of existing res they have or not

[novel crow]

only +4 pinnacle bosses have 75

[wooden delta]

oh

[novel crow]

unless you get +50% resist in the waystone

[wooden delta]

Well in that case ill probs just run survivability gem

[novel crow]

pen is pretty meh, I wouldn't recommend more than 30, but that's just my opinion

[wooden delta]

aight then fair enuf, my exposure is quite easy to proc w orb of storms anyways

[novel crow]

if you add some kind of curse as well you'll get them below zero and pen comes last so it'll do nothing

this is different to poe1 btw because pen can only get enemies to 0 in 2

[wanton dawn]

im getting lost in my own hideout 🤣

too used to be in ziggurat reugee

[tribal jackal]

exposure goes into the negatives

thus more dmg

[novel crow]

correct

penetration doesn't though, which was the question, and pen is applied last

if you've already got them down into 0 or negative with exposure and/or curses, pen does nothing

[tribal jackal]

what if u have 75 pen and exposure on support gem on ability

[novel crow]

exposure goes first, if you have less than 75 exposure, and a +4 pinnacle boss, then and only then will pen help

(except for +50% resist waystone)

in terms of max uptime effect, other gems are usually a better choice

[lethal summit]

if i rarity item rarity on rings and use ingenuity, that works as i want it right?

[novel crow]

yes

[lethal summit]

great

[novel crow]

also note most pinnacle bosses don't even have 75 for all resists

there was a table somewhere but I can't find it, I know arbiter at +4 has all 75s

30/50/60/75 depending on level

king in the mists appears to have 0 all resists

kosis has 30 all resists

looking them up one by one

[fresh jetty]

if i give someone at 2nd ascendancy a 4th ascendancy sekhema token, can he clear to 3rd and leave with 2 ascendancy points

[novel crow]

olroth 75 cold, the rest zero

trialmaster all 75s

zarokh all 30s

that's all I think

[river field]

no

[fresh jetty]

dang

[tribal jackal]

@novel crow how do we know which is first?

exposure vs pen

do we asume or is it told somewhere?

[novel crow]

google told me

but others here have said so too

the logic is that exposure and curses are applied to the enemy, but pen applied only on hit

so it gets applied last

[tribal jackal]

hmm

ill ask again

if i have 75% pen on my ability
and then i have the support gem "lightning exposure"

what happens

[calm grotto]

0

it dont go below 0

unless u curse

which reduce resist

[tribal jackal]

no

curses are first

then pen

[calm grotto]

oh

is it?

[novel crow]

curse and exposure stack

[calm grotto]

no 0

[novel crow]

then pen applied if it's still above zero

[calm grotto]

unless they have more then 100% resist

[tribal jackal]

what about my question?

[tribal jackal]

no boss has

[calm grotto]

expose first

then pen

[novel crow]

then it would depend on the enemy's resist, and how much exposure and pen you have

[tribal jackal]

i just said

i have 75%

[calm grotto]

expose?

[tribal jackal]

no boss has above 75%

[novel crow]

and you said you have 59 exposure, right?

[tribal jackal]

75% pen*

[novel crow]

so with a 75% boss, 59 exposure, and 75 pen, the boss' resist would be zero

[tribal jackal]

no i didnt

[novel crow]

oh that was someone else? ok

[tribal jackal]

hmm

idk which is first

[novel crow]

how much exposure do you have?

[calm grotto]

someone said

expose first

then pen last

[tribal jackal]

just from this @novel crow

[calm grotto]

base value is 20 right

[novel crow]

right

[tribal jackal]

yes that was me 1 min ago ;d

[novel crow]

I forgot base was 20

so yeah only goes to zero

[calm grotto]

i mean

[tribal jackal]

base is 20 yes

[calm grotto]

what is applied on the monster first

so curse and expose first

[cursive zenith]

Whyyyyyyy

[calm grotto]

then pen

psn is ded

[tribal jackal]

psn issue not poe

[cursive zenith]

Anyone figure out how to unfuck it?

[novel crow]

wait till fixed?

[tribal jackal]

u wait

[cursive zenith]

PSN whhyyyyyy

Now what do I do... clean my house?!

[calm grotto]

touch grass

[novel crow]

so if you don't have extra exposure or a curse, then pen can get them to zero; most builds have extra effect of exposure somewhere

[tribal jackal]

i dont

[novel crow]

it will certainly be more effective than exposure alone

[tribal jackal]

deadeye ranger\

[novel crow]

icic

[tribal jackal]

not like i need it tho

[wanton dawn]

bro u sound ollike asmongold

[tribal jackal]

what?

how do u hear sound trough text

[novel crow]

but going back to what I said, stacking extra penetration isn't the win it was in poe1

some penetration is good, but I wouldn't chase it

[cursive zenith]

Tasting colors through sound.

[novel crow]

penetration would help in cases where you don't get a chance to apply a curse or exposure, but if you expose on hit you're getting that already

I use frost bomb for exposure, but have exposure support on my arctic armour in case melee attackers rush me without getting exposed to it, but I also get +45% exposure from my passive tree so it gives me 65% exposure on its counterattack

[wooden delta]

in that case ill prioritize magnitude for CoS

and wow i locked in on my grp proj and yall were still on pen vs exposure XD

[novel crow]

it's a sticking point because ggg nerfed it in poe2

[wooden delta]

yeah heard abt it back when EA came out

[novel shale]

is there any place where i can price check my item?

[fresh jetty]

can you resocket vaal'd items

[novel crow]

apart from using the trade website, there are popup helpers that can price check similar items for you

[warm gorge]

I just had 9 breaches in 1 map. Mostly its one and I often had like 4 or 5. Is there a condition for this to happen?

[dusky star]

• breach tablets

[warm gorge]

Ah... I forgot about the second and third line^^ thx

[dusky star]

these being the tablet mods

[pale totem]

What is the use of WHITE (COMMON) heavy belt ?

Ppl buy it? I must alchemy it?
Cz I downloaded a filter that literally show currency + t15 maps + white stellar + white heavy belt

[novel crow]

they chance it to try to get a headhunter

[wanton dawn]

which is not really worth it to orb it

on avg u gonna need like 300 orbs

to get it

[drowsy slate]

how do u use logbook

nvm

[plush field]

Can I overwrite sockets on a corrupted item?

[drowsy slate]

nope...

[plush field]

But i can socket an empty one right?

[drowsy slate]

socket yes

add socket or increase quality or adjust modifier nope

[tribal jackal]

yes

[wooden delta]

i personally use exiled exchange

[tribal jackal]

u cannot put sockets on corrupted item

[wooden delta]

use the portable ver

[tribal jackal]

you can

[sullen geyser]

Is there any particular reason to put exposure on armor instead of getting it all from frost bomb?

[plush field]

Ty

[drowsy slate]

huh overwtire the existing socker ? o

my bad

[tribal jackal]

you can change the runes inside corrupted items

[novel crow]

on arctic armour you mean? Yes, because they may attack me without passing through the frost bomb

[sullen geyser]

So that's the only reason?

[novel crow]

yep and the fact I have a spare gem slot on arctic armour...

[sullen geyser]

I'll stick to my own strat them but thx anyway

[novel crow]

sure

[sullen geyser]

Frost bomb have better exposure than one thru skill gem iirc so I buffed it and all my exposure is from the bomb

[novel crow]

I mean arctic armour isn't even armour, it's a counterattack

so I simply use it mainly for surprise attacks primarily

enemies that rush you, it instakills most of them

[sullen geyser]

I deal with surprise attacks much simplier

I die

[novel crow]

go on

oh

it took me ages to realise how good arctic armour is for that so I buff the shit out of it for those attacks

[grave scroll]

As long as it works

[sullen geyser]

Worthy 80exposure and using both cast on freeze and blink

[novel crow]

Here's what I use with arctic armour

[sullen geyser]

Well I die 95% of tge time from weird ranged attacks I couldn't even see anyway

[novel crow]

AA won't help with that...

that's why half my screen is filled with frost walls

[sullen geyser]

Ye I know, that's why I don't use it

It helped me a lot thru campaign tho

[novel crow]

but those frost walls are from my COF, not manually placed

I only place manual ones when I see melee attackers rushing me or a unique has gotten out of a freeze

oh or a wall of poison dart throwing flowers lol

[sullen geyser]

Poison darts from crabs are much more annoying tbh

[novel crow]

a frost wall is also great for stuff that sits idle on the ground, you just place it on them, they wake up and die

yeah those too

[sullen geyser]

What maps you are on currently?

[novel crow]

you mean tier?

[sullen geyser]

Ye

[novel crow]

17/18

[tribal jackal]

after tier 13 maps are kinda the same

[sullen geyser]

I guess I will return to using walls as a safe meaure later

I am rn at 6-8 and I use walls mostly to nuke bosses or fat rares

[novel crow]

yeah I tried doing without them but I found they were much safer scattered around, just make sure you do enough damage to easily clear them (use icicle with the manual ones)

[sullen geyser]

Does damage of the wall depend on it's healty btw?

[novel crow]

no

the life only affects how hard it is to tear down

the level determines the damage

so decide if it's a defense or an attack, I like them exploding as they do tons of damage

[sullen geyser]

Yea I'll nerf ice wall hp later then, forgot name of the gem

[novel crow]

plus I don't like trapping myself

[sullen geyser]

Icycle or smth

[novel crow]

I can show you my build if you like, but it's permanently a work in progress

[sullen geyser]

Doubt it will work for me

[novel crow]

and nothing like the screen clearer of spark or anything

yeah but gem combos maybe

but sure whatever

[sullen geyser]

Mine is a complete mess I started blindly and I will have to remake it from 0 probably

[novel crow]

lawl I've respecced mine about 1000 times

well not completely

but I keep tweaking, I love that shit

also change gear and suddenly the balance changes

[sullen geyser]

In total is not that hard, but the whole tree at once will be annoying asf

[novel crow]

a couple of days ago I finally got to 260 spirit and everything changed

[sullen geyser]

What do you deal damage mainly from?

[novel crow]

fireball->freeze->COF cold snap&frost wall

cold snap the biggest damage, but it unfreezes them then they move and destroy the frost wall and take more damage

the fireball itself is just an activator and doesn't do that much damage

[sullen geyser]

I just freeze everything for more dmg intake and explode them with mana flare. With pure cold dmg build

[novel crow]

oh sorry forgot to mention archmage

i played with mana flare but archmage affects all attacks not just crits

[sullen geyser]

Tried to go with fireballs but I just didn't like it for some reason

[novel crow]

I like the speed of fireballs, other activators were clunky

[sullen geyser]

Eye of winter?

[novel crow]

hrm didn't play much with it don't remember

[sullen geyser]

I use it for crit procs

For mana flare

[novel crow]

fireball worked for me, and I have a soft spot for it anyway

oh right I see

there are so many ways, gotta find what works for you

[sullen geyser]

I wish it was possible to proc mana flare more often tho

[novel crow]

yeah that's why I knew I'dhave to get archmage working eventually

[sullen geyser]

Would be really funny to burn thru 100% of ur mana instantly no matter how much you have ngl

[novel crow]

well yeah I have a shitton of mana regen and mana reduction to cope

41% mana reduction

every node on the passive tree

[sullen geyser]

There is also skills to nerf triggers cost further

[novel crow]

a screenfull all getting frozen can cost me 10,000 mana

so yeah I put a lot into reducing that

[sullen geyser]

I am not even close to that

Yet

[novel crow]

but a lot into meta energy to ensure every frozen rare is guaranteed to trigger COF

I don't have 10k mana, that's my point lol

so lots of reduction

[sullen geyser]

What is COF?

[novel crow]

cast on freeze

you have to make sure you hit thresholds or it won't activate reliably

the more gems you put in there, the higher the meta energy it needs

[sullen geyser]

Well I didn't put anything insane so it works fine for me

Just frost bolts spam for more freeze and less moving enemies

[novel crow]

cold snap and frost wall need 130 max energy in COF

icic

oh that's a bad pun too

[sullen geyser]

Is it really worth using cold snap tho?

You can get 80% dmg bonus into frozen targets

50 from frozen and 30 from hindered

[novel crow]

average hit with my cold snap on pinnacle bosses according to pob is 240k

that's just the cold snap, but it's the biggest part of the activation sequence

[sullen geyser]

Ye but it's only once instead of everything else almost twice more dmg, no?

[novel crow]

what?

[sullen geyser]

What what?

[novel crow]

wdym twice more damage

[sullen geyser]

80% more

For everything that hits frozen target

No?

[novel crow]

if they freeze and COF hasn't activated I hit them with a huge comet and that doesn't do as much damage as cold snap

what's bigger?

[sullen geyser]

Big skills near the one that makes 1hp but immune to chaos
Something like "enemies take 50% more damage from hirs while frozen"
And
"Hindered targets take 30% more dmg"

[novel crow]

yes I have that

it activates with cold snap

the cold snap benefits from it

[sullen geyser]

Don't have more spells to use except for a comet?

[novel crow]

played with others, they shit

well, other cold

[sullen geyser]

Well I have never played poe before so I don't know much but to me it sounds like everything else benefiting from it instead of a cold snap is better

[novel crow]

I just checked and a 6 gem comet does the same damage as the cold snap, but has that massive windup

and the cold snap is instant

nope, the big damage comes from breaking the freeze from any attack

so regardless of what you choose you need to break the freeze to get the big damage unless you want to sit there firing low power attacks till they unfreeze

they don't add up

[sullen geyser]

Mana flare deals 20% of your mana, if you have enough it should hit harder than breaking freeze 1 or 2 times I think

I guess I'll have to test cold snap again, goodbye times when all enemies were afk around me

[novel crow]

nope, tried it, and it's not reliable

[sullen geyser]

Can't argue about reliability lmao
That shit sometimes doesn't proc after like 10 or 20 attacks with 40% crit

Eh 10-20 hits I mean

[novel crow]

with mobs my COF doesn't trigger unless it hits a lot of them, with magic enemies it needs to hit 3, with rares it hits 1 and it activates, with uniques it always activates

always activates when they freeze that is

[sullen geyser]

How often do you freeze uniques?

Untill they die

[novel crow]

hrm 2 or 3 hits?

[sullen geyser]

Bosses are uniques right?

[novel crow]

yes

takes a few more with +4 bosses

[sullen geyser]

Well for me i have them stand afk most of the time which saves me a lot while I am killing them. Idk if dmg from snap will help me that much tbh

[novel crow]

sure like I said there are an infinite number of ways of doing this

I just found what works for me

also POB can't accurately work out a DPS with a cast-on skill because it assumes they get activated according to the cast time, which isn't the case

so I only pay attention to the average hit value

otherwise if it were right I'd be doing 1.7M dps which I'm clearly not

I can easily do more than that spread out amongst multiple enemies, but that's not what DPS is meant to be and is of no help against a single unique bos

I estimate it peaks at about 350k

but I'm also lv95, hopefully 6 soon

definitely not one of the big hit builds, but fun AF to play

[delicate fiber]

So how are people doing 100k like DPS meanwhile I only get 30k DPS at max

[glass oar]

wife and i are having trouble with getting obelisks and other endgame stuff, but we dont have problems clearing t15 maps, any videos / guides that might help us?

[novel crow]

we are calculating the damage with POB, the amount shown in the game can't take into account activation effects

things like "more damage if frozen, more damage after crit, more damage if immobilised, more if used multiple skills" etc etc.

[delicate fiber]

No but I'm talking about ingame

[sullen geyser]

Items from higher tiers

[novel crow]

items

the items make or break you

[delicate fiber]

Hmmmmm

[sullen geyser]

Or insanely broken builds but that's probably not ur case

[novel crow]

and sometimes the number is always going to look low because of the nature of the attack

[delicate fiber]

I only got 6 divines rn

And stuff are pretty expensive

[novel crow]

yeah just keep farming and upgrading

that's what we're all doing

[sullen geyser]

Last guy I'v seen who could clear the whole screen with 1 tap said he spent like 100+ divines on items

[novel crow]

be very selective with gear

well I'd say I'm getting close to having spent 100 divs now so...

[delicate fiber]

Should I run low tier rare maps or high tier magic maps?

[novel crow]

i've probably spent 80?

[sullen geyser]

Wait you do that after getting 3 divines?

[delicate fiber]

I tried crafting

[novel crow]

30k with 3 divs is good

[delicate fiber]

So I didn't buy stuff

[novel crow]

I wouldn't bother crafting till very late

[sullen geyser]

Crafting sucks tbh

[novel crow]

unless you want to run SSF

[delicate fiber]

Well I learnt it hard way

[sullen geyser]

That's kinda reassures me about my build ngl

[novel crow]

big learning curve is big

[delicate fiber]

Also what DPS I need to try citadel boss?

[novel crow]

depends on your skill level...

[sullen geyser]

I had only 1 div so far and do 20-25k dps I think. Or big nukes with 100-120k a few times per boss

[delicate fiber]

Is there a penalty for death in citadel?

[novel crow]

30k is enough to try, if you're defensive enough or can dodge the attacks

yes there is

death always hurts in endgame

so I usually tackle hard stuff as soon as I level up

since there's no XP to lose

[delicate fiber]

I got 30k from a perfect jewel orb drop that i used from storm wave

It was 25k before that

[novel crow]

nice

finish a levelling, then take on a citadel

when you are at 0% towards next level

[delicate fiber]

I have 20% chaos res tho

Others are capped

[novel crow]

doesn't matter, most don't do chaos dmg

look up guides, I don't recall chaos from the citadel bosses

[sullen geyser]

Like get lvl 100?

[lusty spear]

You can get some decent jewels for ex that boost damage. I think i get like 60k damage just because of the jewels

[novel crow]

no lol

[tawdry jasper]

Mechanics is the key word here.

[sullen geyser]

?

[novel crow]

let's say you're level 87

as soon as you get to level 88, take on a citadel

even if you die, you don't level down

[delicate fiber]

Oh I need to check thise

[lusty spear]

Citadels best div farm strat ngl

[sullen geyser]

Is there anything special on lvl88 or just an example

[novel crow]

just an example

could be 80-81, 90-91 or whatever

[delicate fiber]

Can I reset maps without killing the last rare mob?

[novel crow]

the XP penalty is 10% towards the next level

for dying

[lusty spear]

They only get expensive if you look for a jewel with 4 specific stats but if you only look for 3 stats you can get some good cheap ones

[sullen geyser]

I am currently 75 but idk where to go in a skill tree tbh

[novel crow]

so if you've made zero progress towards the next level, dying costs you nothing but the map

[tawdry jasper]

Thank you for the information Ittaku.

[sullen geyser]

Maybe I'll just use the rest to get that 3 skill combo of 1hp but ur hp is mana

[delicate fiber]

Also when you get item drops with like "***** (tier 4)"
What is the 4 actually meant?

[glass oar]

it means that the affixes cant roll below a certain value

[novel crow]

better implicit mods, higher values

[delicate fiber]

Is 4 the maximum?

[novel crow]

tier 5 are the best

[delicate fiber]

Ah ok

[sullen geyser]

So tier6 with correct stats potentially will be insane?

[novel crow]

they can still be garbage due to poor choice of affixes

[sullen geyser]

Oh t5 max

Sad

[glass oar]

universral rule is... it always rolls better for someone else...

[novel crow]

and you always get +accuracy

which almost no one needs

[glass oar]

light radius

[novel crow]

or both!

[glass oar]

although aparently neither of those can show up on tier5

or maybe i read it wrong

[novel crow]

orly?

[sullen geyser]

I need blue jewels, i had only 2-3 so far and 40-50 red ones
Ranted about in global chat someone said they need red ones but only bkues drop

[novel crow]

I've thrown out 100x more t5 than I've sold, so I'm sure there's lots of garbage

[sullen geyser]

It's a curse no doubt

[glass oar]

grass is always greener (or redder or bluer depending), unless you that 6.5m dps spark build with the MF friend...

[sullen geyser]

True

[glass oar]

im still lost on what to be doing... grinding t15s but thats not getting us closer to whatever is after as we dont even know whats after

[novel crow]

citadels then pinnacle bosses

[glass oar]

we havent been able to beat citadels and not sure how to progress

[novel crow]

or you could be like me and use levelling as your target

[glass oar]

we lvl 92 invoker / witch

[novel crow]

I'm gonna aim for 99

my issue is I'm an old man and I just can't get gud against boss mechanics so I will do more of everything else

[glass oar]

makes sense

[novel crow]

I couldn't kill maven for 9 months on poe1, finally killed her with my only lv100 character

zzz

laters

[dusky star]

by obelisks do you mean citadels? are you pathing towards towers a lot and exploring new/foggy areas/going towards light beams in the fog? citadels should be quite easy to find if so

[glass oar]

im finding them... we died badly to the boss... im thinking next time a white t15 map might be a better choice

sorry citadels

[dusky star]

a decent amount of dmg + a reliable way to get freeze/etc. up fairly fast really helps on citadel bosses, helps if you burst through them fast

but if your builds are self-cooked, they may not do much dmg

[glass oar]

i have 60k ice strike listed dps

which doesnt feel like much

probably went too deep into defensive stats... and havent been able to keep up dps

[dusky star]

not terribly much, no - if struggling to get currency for upgrades, stuff like level 79+ logbooks sell for a lot in bulk, or whatever else your build does well

[glass oar]

finding things that are actually upgrades seems to be the issue...e verything looks like a sidegrade or is 50div

[dusky star]

even using trade?

[lethal summit]

what's the name of the expensive legendary belt?

[dusky star]

ingenuity?

[lethal summit]

the one that comes from changing a heavy belt? is that ingenuity?

[halcyon cave]

[slow ore]

How am I suppose to go back up after killing boss and complete the map?

Yeah but I don’t think GGG gives a shit. It may be possible with blink shenanigans.

I see the portal icon—if you don’t put that there you can exit to chat select and then re-enter map. It’s not great.

[kind eagle]

you alt +f 4 the game and hope portal resets

[nocturne escarp]

what is the best boxes to take in trial of sekhnmas?

[slow ore]

Thanks but didn't work. 😦

[fresh jetty]

wtf

[slow ore]

Didn't know can do that. I thought if I portal back then after sometime might be able to portal back to beginning

[halcyon cave]

Yeah it sucks, sorry

[glass oar]

oof they still didnt fix that couch coop death freeze bug... annoying

wife died on t15 boss, was looting bossloot when locked up... fun!

[wary oxide]

does pinnacle boss/trial boss drop get affected by magic find +rarity?

or it's totally random?

[mossy loom]

yes, but it wont affect boss specific item

so at arbiter, it will work for rare items, currency etc, but not for farming regalia for example

[wary oxide]

I see, makes sense

[hollow parcel]

wtf guys

[shell fjord]

In trade filter how do you select to only show item without a specific modifier but should have 1 modifer? Ex: I want the boots to have movement spee but should not have cold resistance

[bleak urchin]

cold res max 0?

[shell fjord]

Thanks will try that

[shell fjord]

Doesn't work

[bleak urchin]

oh yeah that exists

[shell fjord]

Tried that but that restricts me to only put stats that I don't need.

I want to also filter with some stats I need

[mossy loom]

just add stat group

[full sierra]

Use Add stat group

[shell fjord]

Thanks

Didn't know we can do that

[small estuary]

Something weird just happened. I was in a Trial of Sekhemas when I got hit by something and it immediately ended my run, even though it didn't kill me (UI showed HP left after the hit) and didn't remove all Honor. It was a regular Gauntlet room, not a boss. Any idea what that could have been?

(I hate Gauntlet rooms so much)

[keen valve]

yeah, they are the most disliked

[median vector]

got a recording? Because it sounds like you lost your honor

[small estuary]

Unfortunately I didn't record, but it shouldn't be possible to lose 8k honor in one hit without also dying

[median vector]

are you using any honor resistance idols?

[small estuary]

42% or 34%, don't quite remember

[mossy loom]

ugh, ive heard about some weird combo of omen and affliction that deals phys dmg, but it was just at the start of game

[median vector]

If you arent capped on honor res you can absolutely take a 1 hit honor KO in certain combinations

[mossy loom]

idk if still exists, but it was possible to get hit, drop to low life due to affliction dmg, and omen gives life back, but for some reason sekhema counted this as death

[median vector]

could be that too

[mossy loom]

but as i said, it was just at the start of the game, and im pretty sure it was fixed at some point xd

[hollow parcel]

can i upgrade lvl 19 skill currupted to lvl 20?

[mossy loom]

yup

[small estuary]

I think I don't understand entirely how honor works. I though it's 1 unmitigated damage to defenses translating to 1 honor damage? So if I has less than 8k total EHP I can't take 1 hit honor ko without also it being a regular ko?

[hollow parcel]

ty

[median vector]

you can always upgrade a corrupted gem, but keep in mind if its corrupted to -1 level your level 20 gem will still just be level 19

[median vector]

your defenses dont reduce honor damage taken

[hollow parcel]

i'm trying for 5 gems

[mossy loom]

remember about defences, dmg you take is mitigated by resistances, converts, phys reduction ect etc, but it doesnt work for honour, so 1dmg to life =/= 1 dmg to honour

[median vector]

thats why you need capped honor res if you want to be safe

[small estuary]

Ah, so it takes pre-resistance values?
Also does blocked/dodged hit still give honor damage?

[median vector]

iirc if you would take damage but it is reduced by a defence, it isnt reduced when dealt to your honor

[mossy loom]

dodged for sure nope (i mean you wont get honour dmg), it even works for traps because they hit, only exception is gas trap (yes, even flamethrower traps can be dodged xd)

im not sure about block, never played it enough to test

[small estuary]

I think I saw blocked hit not doing honor damage

[median vector]

I assume block reduces damage you take but still does the hit to you? If so then it should hit honor for the full amount

Ive never played block character either

[small estuary]

No, block is also a complete negation

[mossy loom]

but it still counts as hit

[median vector]

Could go either way then, just depends on how they coded it.

Ive not played a block character yet so i dunno personally

[mossy loom]

hmm true

if we count it like in poe1, evade also means getting hit but not taking dmg

while dodge means not getting hit at all

[small estuary]

Makes sense. I think it was a Fire hit and it did deal a lot of damage, so while I'm capped on fire res and not capped on honor res it could have been 1 hit ko.
Damn, I was so sure I was safe with over 8k honor.

[median vector]

It could very well be a bug, but I doubt it since you arent honor capped

The most likely answer is you got a big honor hit, but hard to tell without a video to review since GGG hates any kind of logging

[small estuary]

By the way, got any advice on how to deal with a powerful Rare in a tiny room with a lever I'd have to press and cornered by traps on exit?

[median vector]

have some way to stunlock him or just have super OP defenses

[mossy loom]

one thing at the time i suppose? kill rare, then lever

[south frigate]

So, I had 4 points in the boss tree. Killed the boss on a t16 irradiated, corrupted map. I have 6 points in the boss tree.

What is going on here?

[mossy loom]

in order tier 15-16-17-18 (and somewhere there between arbiter) each 2 points

[south frigate]

Shouldn't it give me the next 4 points?

[mossy loom]

no, youll get only points for specific stage

not all stages before

[small estuary]

Tiny room is a bigger issue. I didn't even see the windup.

[south frigate]

So I have to backtrack which level I missed?!

[mossy loom]

correct

[south frigate]

Quite unlike the ascension points. Damnit

[median vector]

like I said, gotta have a way to lock them down or just avoid all damage completely

[mossy loom]

tbh, ascendancy points system are wierd one here xd

[median vector]

electrocute, evasion, freeze, most good builds have a way to negate the enemies way to deal damage in the first place

[small estuary]

Guess I'll have to switch my Arsonists for either frost mages or storm mages with electrocute support

[mossy loom]

or enough dmg to just.. kill it before mob can do anything

[median vector]

theres tons of ways to lock down enemies or completely avoid taking hits, just gotta find one that works for your build

If you are having to reduce the damage taken you already lost the first battle

[small estuary]

What do you think would work better, electrocute or freeze as far as minions go?

I never tried anything other than my arsonists

[median vector]

I like electrocute more, but I dunno about minion builds so take that with a grain of salt

[wooden delta]

game bugged for no reason and i couldnt dodge or attack anything for awhile, died because of it. Is this normal? XD

[median vector]

electrocute synergizes well with the extra damage from being shocked so I love it

[median vector]

did you get stunned?

[mossy loom]

could be stun, freeze, pin, electrocute, all of them will prevent moving, well, pin will prevent attacks only if they move

[small estuary]

Can't have both shock and electrocute at once, electrocute support causes them not to shock

[cerulean dagger]

Would anyone be able to suggest a good starter build to start farming currency with? I’m interested in going Blood Mage Arc, but it seemed more like a build that you go into as a 2nd character.

[wintry aspen]

how does this work

[small estuary]

Only you or the entire game froze?

[wooden delta]

only my character

could more but not attack or dodge

was using my wand so no blink either

[mossy loom]

you need first power charges to use it (as it says on the gem)

most common source is combat frenzy spirit gem + resonance keystone on the skill tree

[bleak urchin]

stun?

[small estuary]

Could move but dodge didn't work? I don't know anything that would cause that.

[wintry aspen]

yes but how to power up these charges

[median vector]

There are other ways to give shock and electrocute buildup, but like I said I havent played minion build so i dunno if it works for that

[mossy loom]

i just said easy source xd

[wooden delta]

i was moving around and could turn my character around so

[bleak urchin]

weird

[small estuary]

The only thing I know that prevents using dodge roll is having Blink activated but on cooldown.

[wintry aspen]

how do i see these charges

[wooden delta]

weird, i wasnt on my set 2

[mossy loom]

around your character and on top of the screen as buff icon

(console have it on the bottom i think? im not sure)

blue balls around char, and buff icon

[wintry aspen]

is aw em but still cannot use the skill

[mossy loom]

are you sure you got the power charges? there are 2 other (green and blue)
are you sure you actually had them? they have duration, and they can expire
are you sure you didnt.. you know, consume them using charged staff for that buff?

[wintry aspen]

im not sure man

i dont even know how this build works

😦

in video bro was like mcqueen

im slow af

[median vector]

do you have the right passive node that converts the points into the ones you need?

The problem with blindly following a video guide is you dont understand how the passives work together

[wintry aspen]

i didnt watch the video tho

[mossy loom]

i mean combo is quite easy, combat frenzy spirit gem + resonance, and freezing/electrocute something for charges so you can consume them for charged staff buff

[wintry aspen]

maybe im missing resonance

[median vector]

its a lynchpin passive that allows that build to work.

[wintry aspen]

yeah i still didnt hit that one snice im lvl 60

[median vector]

💀

This is why you dont just blindly follow guides and try to emulate them without understanding when/why you use certain skills/passives

[mossy loom]

it should be one of the first things grabbed in tree, charged staff gives that shockwave

[sullen geyser]

You guys playing thru guides?

Isn't that boring?

[mossy loom]

extra hit on the bell, easly gives dmg spike on the bosses

[wintry aspen]

actually i watched the first 20 secs of the video

bro was like mcqueen

then i made a new char

[median vector]

😐

Ya played yourself

[mossy loom]

(btw it sounds like stat stacker, if im correct, it will be hard ride really soon)

[mossy loom]

yes, even just as source of info, game have enough easly missed mechanics and combos that can give you power boost early

go blind if you want, but at some point you will search for info anyway, and guides for similar builds will be best source

[median vector]

Yup, guides should be used to help break through a wall you encounter, not blindly followed

[sullen geyser]

I did and I don't understand at least half of what I am doing

[mossy loom]

exacly, it will take some time to understand basics, and even then without actually looking at some math psycho that calculated to the last point specific mechanic, it will be hard to even see whats possible, before learning stuff about it

[sullen geyser]

It's fun to finally have proper exploration tho

And not for just a few hours

[mossy loom]

and we have guys like that, using this screen as example, gl looking which skill is best for ignite base

but.. there is 1 guy that actually calculated them all XD

(ofc theyre poe1 skills, i dont know if someone calcs stuff like that in poe2 yet)

[sullen geyser]

I heard EVE have the same gameplay

[mossy loom]

i think eve is harder in that specific topic(?) just becuase you need to actually use source like example above, in poe you need to just "ah this is quite good" and then try build around it yourself without actually doing math yourself

[sullen geyser]

I mean just the fact someone playing excel instead of an actual game

But ye

[median vector]

Yup, the thankfully this game can easily get you from level 1 to ~80 mapping with just reading the tooltips and using your brain, but if you want to be atlas maxing and farming divs you definitely need to get some outside help eventually unless youre some kind of wunderkind

Easy to play, hard to master is my kind of game

[wintry aspen]

why is it

[mossy loom]

actually there is meme about poe players "they gonna watch 12h stream of guy doing math in path of building program, looking only at the numbers, without single second of gameplay and they will say "yeah this looks fire, im gonna play it""

[mossy loom]

pillage of the god weapon, breach gloves (hand of wisdom and action) and so on build?

if yes, thats stat stacker, you cant really play it without key items

[dull plank]

pillage

[mossy loom]

pillar

[wintry aspen]

what are the key items

[mossy loom]

brain lagged hard there XD thanks

[mossy loom]

attribute items, pillar of the caged god, hands of wisdom and action

just as base

[sullen geyser]

Looking at everything I can combo it's not even funny it's understandable

[mossy loom]

also its meta build atm, so items will be quite expensive on the trade, rolling them yourself is not that easy, on top of that you still need to cap your resistances, get some defensive etc

[wintry aspen]

how much i need

[mossy loom]

idk prices right now, and i dont know how early you can swap into this to be better than just simple storm wave build

i assume few divines?

[proper hazel]

really depends on how high the stats need to be for it to work, idk the values off hand but for decently high stats you'll likely need ingenuity+stat rings so somewhere in the area of 30-50 div on the cheaper end depending on desired stat amounts

[mossy loom]

yeah this for sure, but i was thinking about bare minimum, gloves are like ~1div maybe? probably less atm for some meh rolls

pillar is free pretty much

• some double stat items with res

[proper hazel]

the gloves and staff will likely be the cheapest of the items really

[wintry aspen]

i have items

[mossy loom]

but as i said, idk at what point it will be better than just storm wave

[wintry aspen]

howa ingunity some rings amulet with stats

but idk what to focus on

i want to be fast

[mossy loom]

look at your weapon, there is stat that scales attack speed

[mossy loom]

welp, this solves biggest problem

[wintry aspen]

i need mobility not attack speed

dont know if they are related

[proper hazel]

possibly, really depends on rolls.... a low roll ingenuity and low stat rings wont make a huge difference depending on the stat totals needed

[mossy loom]

youre moving while using tempest flurry

more attack speed more movement

[wintry aspen]

yes and its slow : (

[mossy loom]

thats why i said look at your weapon, read which one scales attack speed

focus on it

[wintry aspen]

yes sir

[proper hazel]

realistically for stat stacker you also want astra as well but idk that its fully necessary lol

[radiant beacon]

Should i trade my 2 div or just hold onto them

[mossy loom]

bis but high end item

[wintry aspen]

give it to me i will multiply and give back 👍

[mossy loom]

your choice, market can crash any time, but for like a week they are pretty much around same number

[radiant beacon]

how much is an ingenuity belt

like 20?

[wintry aspen]

how much % needed

[mossy loom]

trash roll even 1.5 div xd but at this point rare belt will be better

70+% is around 15div

[proper hazel]

I would expect the market to start fallin fairly soon, alot of people are winding down til the next league... plus new games drawing players away but its hard to say for certain how much or exactly when its going to drop noticeably

[proper hazel]

depends on roll and if it has a good corrupt... my rangers ingenuity is roughly 30-35div with the corruption

[radiant beacon]

holy

so maybe 2 isnt getting me anywhere lol

[wintry aspen]

you can buy 40%

maybe 35%

[proper hazel]

depends on what you want lol... 2div is decent for early map gear but late game min/max its essentially nothing lol

[wintry aspen]

grind more and buy at lesat 50% imo

[radiant beacon]

alr

im only doing t7 maps rn

so i have some time

[proper hazel]

maybe you'll get lucky with people giving out stuff as well, alot of people starting to leave until the next league will give out divs and gear as they have no use for it once new league starts

[radiant beacon]

are leagues like rust wipes?

[wintry aspen]

yes

[proper hazel]

pretty much, current stash/characters go to separate server(most people wont play them anymore) and you start fresh

[radiant beacon]

do they say when the next league is or is it random

[proper hazel]

they'll announce it but they havent yet, so best guess is it wont be until mid-late next month or even sometime later than that.... usually they announce a bit ahead of time

[radiant beacon]

alr, thanks guys

[wintry aspen]

summer

[sullen geyser]

Do expedition npc sell random stuff or it gets better later?

[latent wind]

just a warning: Peddler's Rain Hideout Decorations is bugged so dont bother getting that

[mossy loom]

based on character lvl, they will give you more expert bases, and ofc ilvl will be higher so mods can roll higher tiers

but thats all

[left talon]

does elmental innvocation meta skill not work with skills? I tried both ball lightening and eye of winter and neither one seems to actiavte when i am just sitting at 100% energy on the skill

[lapis willow]

U need to put elemental invocation on ur bar and click it when u are ready

Its manual

[left talon]

ohhh i see

[lapis willow]

I saw some posts on reddit who got it from gambling but chance is near 0. Anyway i believe gambling for amulets is best anyway

[slow ore]

can some one tell me how much spirit i can get from all acts ?

[lapis willow]

Book giving points on ritual atlas is dropping only for owner of invitation or i can get friend with me and he got points also?

[lapis willow]

100

[slow ore]

which bosses and what acts if u know

[slow ore]

ty

[lapis shard]

hello i need help ritual, what's the strategy not to lose these? if I buy 1, will the other 2 be gone?

[bleak jackal]

https://youtu.be/4Bp3Yt81t5Q
why did my omen not work there?

bug i'm assuming?

[keen valve]

which omen?

[bleak jackal]

resurgence

[keen valve]

if you mean resurgence? then no bug

you dropped from like 95% to 0% you never had "low life"

[scenic agate]

quick question.... Quantity of Relics caps at 20% on relics right? just making sure I'm not mis searching

[tiny skiff]

yes

[scenic agate]

damn 😦

[bleak jackal]

what even killed me so fast there? i think i got stunned?

[tiny skiff]

You only really need 77% total, so 3x19% and one 20%

[scenic agate]

I was wanting to break 200% with the boon, but its annoying to do 😦

[tiny skiff]

Because the boon buffing relics would go to 100%

Ah I see

[scenic agate]

yeah getting 100% is easy, but you need every slot to hit the 150 ish

[tiny skiff]

I mean, running 77% and desperate alliance is probably better currency/hour than 200%

[scenic agate]

can be tricky without the extra merchant choices

[tiny skiff]

which also lets you slot 6x merchant choices and honor res

movement speed + relic chance on the rest

[keen valve]

always go for +100% relic drops. there is no guarantee to get the 30% boon

you can also drop 3 uniqes if you have enought %

[tiny skiff]

with 6x merchant choices and hunting them the first 2 acts it's pretty much guaranteed

[scenic agate]

yeah, running 3 choice and 130% atm

well, about 130

prob gonna drop that to 100 and 6 like you said if I can't actually hit 200

[tiny skiff]

And with Desperate alliance you make safe profit each run

[keen valve]

safe profit when you get a crap against the darkness? 😄

[tiny skiff]

Just sell it unid?

They sell for 4 or 5 div last I did the runs, and desperate alliance costs 2

[wintry aspen]

hey. im following fubguns att stacker guide for gemling. it recommends to use mom however it has no connection in his passive tree. am i missing sth?

[keen valve]

I mean yeah, that also works but I rather just sell my DA for 3d

[scenic agate]

I'm too much of a gambler to sell un-id's 😦

[keen valve]

MoM is for uber endgame

you have to click on the tab at the top of his guide

[wintry aspen]

should i follow this one

i just have mana flasks but not stellar etc.

also jewels etc. are not good as well

just the flask

[keen valve]

the flask should be the last thing that you get

[wintry aspen]

i have it on my spark

i didnt buy it for that build

[keen valve]

you mentioned you're lvl 60 earlier so go with the lvling guide or mix it with the endgame one

[wintry aspen]

lvl does not matter

i get 1-2 lvl per map

i can get to 80s in an hour or sth

just trying to complete the items

[keen valve]

it does matter because you're limited in the amount of passive tree points

[wintry aspen]

yes

but even i get to 90

still the endgame one not connected

i was wondering about it

if the mom is keystone of build

[keen valve]

no. you can play without it

[keen valve]

king of the mist is a scam

[tribal jackal]

doesnt seem like a bug

[wintry aspen]

thats how i lost my 30 divs (im on 10div build)

[keen valve]

bought 7 and got 1 belt out of it 😄

crappy deal

[mental pendant]

i'm newbie for breach content .. so is my atlas wrong? i just want to focus for a splinters.

[mossy loom]

go packsize imo

or, if you dont have good enough clear, slower breach - packsize

[sand kestrel]

There's literally no way to get to this citadel from the main land SMH. The two points that should connect, don't. The top bridge over water doesn't and the tower at the bottom doesnt.

[median vector]

welcome to EA

[mental pendant]

oh ill try i'm playing tempest flurry i think it's ok to go to pack size... ty bro

[mossy loom]

it happens

ive explored about 60 maps to the right and left, without connection

[sand kestrel]

jeez

[mossy loom]

welp, at the end i was saved by another bug

about 20maps above that citadel

[bronze sage]

hey guys any good idea to do with bad tier 15 waystone that i dont wanna use?/

like is there a way to trade them for other one?

[keen valve]

you can reforge them but not sure if this is the most profitable thing

[bronze sage]

i tried but i cant reforge tier 15

[keen valve]

sorry, you're right

[dusky star]

if they're rare or not corrupt, you can sell them in bulk to people who want to vendor them for gold

[keen valve]

brain is not braining today

[bronze sage]

ig i can try that

never seld stuff in bulk before so i gotta figure that out first

[dusky star]

can just join TFT and see which ones are WTB'ing

the forbidden trove poe discord

(or if you use gold for profit, you can just vendor them for gold yourself and convert the gold to ex/div)

[bronze sage]

thats seem like a good idea too

[tiny skiff]

a full stash tab of rare 15s goes for like 1div and some ex. Check the bulk-gold chat on TFT discord

[river violet]

Without spoiling any of the fights, are the citadel bosses the same as the campaign, or are there bosses/mechanics that would be brand new? I'm deciding how I want to approach them on hardcore

[scenic torrent]

How does live search work?

[dusky plaza]

what tier waystones can i do with 12k dps lightning arrow, deadeye?

[mossy loom]

iirc exacly same

[scenic torrent]

Jamanra rough

[mossy loom]

when somoene list item it will give you info (doesnt work if item was already listed and someone goes online)

[scenic torrent]

ty ❤️

[ornate lark]

you should be able to get through t15 if you play cautious

[dusky plaza]

interesting, im still doing t2 xd i started with like 4-5k and just bought some furtive wraps, jumped to 12k

[scenic torrent]

What makes HOWA so good id you can stack int and get basically free flat dmg

[barren nymph]

you can go to #trading instead

the discord there also allows you to do trading stuff on there
but i strongly against you from joining tft due to their moderation issues

[lapis shard]

hello poe veterans, what does this video meant by liquidation? I watched it and why ppl are trading their items to him?

[dusky plaza]

i might be set in terms of dmg somewhat but i gotta work on my resistances. gotta cap them all somehow

[keen valve]

probably some bullshit to get clicks

[barren nymph]

liqudation is just a trading term, it's not only used in poe

[mossy loom]

TLDR he gets items, then sell them for currency (liquidation) and then he uses this currency for some meme project

[barren nymph]

liqudation refers to selling an asset to "liquid" currency. Because not all players want that item, but all players want divines / exalts

so liquid currency here just refers to divine / exalts, and liqudation is the process of changing your assets (in this case, items) to divines

[lapis shard]

alright, thanks guys. really helpful 🫡

[radiant beacon]

do yall think i should go acrobatics with this much evasion?

[mossy loom]

imo, as long after acro you have about ~60%+ evade, it will be upgrade

[radiant beacon]

alright perfect ty

[deft vortex]

im doing almost no damage and taking a lot of damage now that ive completed the campaign. my builds a gemling merc and im going for a grenade build but its just not working for maps and idk what to do.

im stuck at level 66 now

[keen valve]

did you have a look at the trade site? if you have a couple of exalts you could proably get a nice weapon

and since you mentioned that you're getting a lot of dmg you should get your resistances as close to 75% as possible

[deft vortex]

thats the thing, i dont have any exalts becuase i spent it on the trade site for my crossbow i have now and it was working for the campaign now its just bad.

ive been trying to get my res up but everyone wants divs or exalts for actually decent gear

[river violet]

Does your gear have sockets and are those sockets being used for resists?

[keen valve]

also check if all your gear has quality

I don't know how often I forgot sockets and/or quality 😄

[deft vortex]

all my gear has some quality and my chest piece has 2 sockets used for cold prot and my helmet has a socket too

[ornate lark]

do you know what type of armour you need maybe i have some spare armour i could give you

[deft vortex]

mainly need cold res and lighting res

[river violet]

Socket your gloves and boots

[median vector]

Probably because youre searching for perfect gear. You can easily max resists with some decent combat stats as long as you know how to use weighted searches

[river violet]

That's 24% res you're leaving on the table

[ornate lark]

i mean armour evasin or energy shield

[novel dagger]

self sufficient on early gearing early on instead of overly rely on trade, more so especially if this is your first character, you are definitely not swimming in currencies upon first campaign completion
socket ALL your gears, and slot in runes to fix resists. GGG also patched the socket now you can replace runes.

[deft vortex]

oh okay

[deft vortex]

i need energy bad bc my shields only 30

[novel dagger]

ES wouldnt be the focus early on tbh, it's not like you can get enough of them to be meaningful

[keen valve]

is that something that could be useful to you?

[deft vortex]

very..

[keen valve]

what's your ign?

good thing is you can still socket it 😄

[deft vortex]

awesome, my name is goKapow

[ornate lark]

sorry but i dont have anything currently

[finite sequoia]

What should I do with crappy precursor tablets (e.g., shrine and experience modifiers)? I can't seem to reforge, and the wiki doesn't seem to indicate that vaaling it will do anything

[mossy loom]

as long theyre same rarity and not corrupted, you should be able to reforge

outside of this.. drop on the ground or sell to vendor?

[finite sequoia]

Ah, looks like they need to have the same implicits to reforge

[mossy loom]

ah, yes, you cant reforge breach with ritual

[finite sequoia]

Do monsters that already existed before a breach count towards breach rewards if you kill them during the breach?

I have a question, if in currency exchange i want adaptive catalyst and i have exalted orbs and the market ratio is 1:3.80, doesn't it mean the "average" price for 100 adaptive catalysts is 380 exalted orbs?

[mossy loom]

no, non breach monsters cant drop breach specific items

[mossy loom]

or 10:38, yeah

[clever badge]

can some one help me and my friend leveling from act 2

we have div we can give you some

[finite sequoia]

It means the best price a seller is currently offering (i.e., cheapest for you) is 1 catalyst for 3.8 exalted. If you want it at that price, you'll have to offer a number of exalteds that is a multiple of 3.8 (e.g., 38 for 10 catalysts)

[finite sequoia]

So I assume that means it's a good idea to clear the area around a breach hand first before starting it?

[mossy loom]

if you really need it

[finite sequoia]

If you hold alt while mousing over the ratio, you can see what the most amount of exalteds buyers are currently offering for 1 adaptive catalyst. As you can see here, while there is a seller offering 1:3.8, the most generous buyer is offering 3.55 exalteds for 1 adaptive catalyst.

So what you can do if you want to save a bit of money is slightly beat out the most generous buyer. So, for example, offer 18 exalteds for 5 adaptive catalysts (1:3.6). This way your offer will be the first one that people will grab if they are offering to sell adaptive catalysts immediately. That is, on their screen, they'll see your offer (1:3.6) when they select "I want exalteds and I have adaptive catalysts".

For high-volume currency exchanges, like exalteds to divines, the "spread" between buyers and sellers is extremely slim. But for less common exchanges you can arbitrage a decent amount https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrage

does anyone know how to fix this? im on pc/controller ui. The loot i see it but im not fast enoough to get it and this keeps happening. The loot from the boss is like this too

[ornate lark]

press z on keybord @undone lagoon

[idle hazel]

Toggle item labels. It is Z with keyboard and mouse, and should be a 'skill' you can select on the controller UI, as well as being found in the settings.

[lethal summit]

just got my last citadel fragment. how hard is the final thingy?

arbiter is it?

[undone lagoon]

Thank you!

[undone lagoon]

Thank you!

[indigo yarrow]

What prism of belief have the best price?

[keen valve]

it's not that hard. if you killed t2 or t3 xesht then you shouldn't have a problem with the 5 tries you get

[lethal summit]

that's the breach boss? i haven't attempted it yet

[keen valve]

yes

[hot dust]

Thank you so much!

[deft vortex]

hey i wanna say thank you very much man i just did my first map by myself man tysmm

[keen valve]

awesome. how did you manage to do it?

[south frigate]

Guys, is there any reason to hoard djinn baryas? I've defeated the trial master (coolerst boss so far), so I don't need them for ascension points

And I don't particularly enjoy the gameplay there

[keen valve]

only if you want to farm trial of chaos for soul cores or fragments

[deft vortex]

i used 2 exalt orbs to get a good cross bow and the one piece of armor brought my health from 1100 to 1500 and shield from 32 to 400

[lethal summit]

should i attempt that boss first?

[south frigate]

Wait, you can farm trial of chaos with baryas? How?

[keen valve]

oh sorry 😄 no you can't. I thought you wrote inscribed ultimatum lol

but you can farm the trial of sekhemas too for stuff like relics

[keen valve]

I think I would

[covert dragon]

whats venerating a maraketh shrine

in trial of the sigma

is it the basin that restores honour?

[keen valve]

yes

[covert dragon]

aight thanks

[lethal summit]

Ok ok. Just buy the splinters and go?

[minor void]

Ugh man I always get terrible moriors -_-

[wooden delta]

damn i finally dropped a perfect jewelrer's orb

[covert dragon]

what does this drop?

[ornate lark]

it dropped an unique jewel for me but idont really know

[covert dragon]

i opened it

yeah unique jewel that looks valuable

i got 3 of this chest

[wooden delta]

grand spectrum jewels

[keen valve]

yeah

[wooden delta]

depends on which one u got

nvermind

bro got all of em 💀

[keen valve]

what a lucker 😄

[covert dragon]

is the mod on them always the same?

4% all res
2% life
2% spirit

sapphire is 10 div on trade tf lol

[keen valve]

if you mean they all got the same affix then yes but you can corrupt it

so the sapphire can go to 3% or 5%

[covert dragon]

crazy shit

[keen valve]

the spectrum chest is the best btw. spectrum -> time-lost -> cache -> arkanist I'd say

[misty meadow]

Does anyone know if there are any Omens that are only available at lvl 82 (tier 18 maps)?

[keen valve]

none

you get them all on lower lvl maps too from rituals

[misty meadow]

Any reason someone would prefer to play T18 instead of T17 purely from Rituals POV?

[keen valve]

nah

[covert dragon]

whats on cache and arcanist ?

[keen valve]

cache holds normal jewels and arcanist currency

[kindred lynx]

holy shit i did not expect the 4th trial boss to have that much health
i managed to beat it but man my heart rate was actually elevated

[keen valve]

congrats

[kindred lynx]

i will pass on the congratulations to my frost mage skellies they hard carried
if i was still running arsonists+flamewalls i wouldve died from not seeing any of his attacks lmao

[somber yoke]

Yo high 5 just beat the 4th ascendcy lol

[keen valve]

congrats to you too

[somber yoke]

Went with 1.5k honor was scrambling

[solid basalt]

is warcry warrior good?

[radiant beacon]

should i take acro off?

[lethal summit]

how do i transform 300 breach splinters into a stone?

[kindred kraken]

if it didnt transform right away, just take 1 spliter off and then restack them

[lethal summit]

worked 🙂

oh and

where do it use it? 😅 -nvm found it 🙂

[keen valve]

no, why?

[radiant beacon]

just asking if its too low

[keen valve]

on your atlas. close to the starting point

[keen valve]

above 60 is fine but you should aim for 70+

[lethal summit]

ty

just beat it (the first one ofc)

[misty meadow]

Man... What would it be better? 800k dps in tooltip instead of 700k or to keep 700k but have 83% all ele res instead of 75%?

[keen valve]

was it hard?

[keen valve]

dps I'd say

[lethal summit]

hmmm, i wouldn't say it was hard

i almost managed to keep at the edge of the breach

and the boss's main attack took out my spirit shield basically

but mana remained intact

i'm a CI/EB/amulet guy

[keen valve]

sounds good. don't forget to skill your points you got from the boss

[lethal summit]

yep. i did

gonna try doing again now

[onyx chasm]

WTF how i have sheild

Comme on GGG ,_, Come on

[lethal summit]

this time i died once at boss, but got it 2nd time around. i did not expect new tricks

[radiant beacon]

should i trade 2 div for perfect jewelers orb?

[lethal summit]

you should prob convert to exalts first

i think 1 perfect is not worth 2 divs

@radiant beacon

[radiant beacon]

alr

is it worth trading for tho?

or should i just wait and drop one

[lethal summit]

i'd say it's prob not a terrible idea

the extra support gem is meaningful

and 1.5 divs sounds like a fair price

[radiant beacon]

Can i still add it to my thing if its corrupted? i got +1 lvl

[lethal summit]

also, not you can get the orb via currency exchange, you don-t hwave to use trade site (in case you are)

[lethal summit]

not sure what you mean

what thing is corrupted?

[radiant beacon]

can i add a perfect jewelers orb to a corrupted skill gem

[vague pike]

No

[lethal summit]

oh i didn't know you could corrupt skill gems

should i do that? 🫢

[vague pike]

Eventually yes.

To get 20+1

For 21

But use a lower level gem to do it.

Like get a Level 14. Craft the skill you want. Get 20% quality on it. Then use 3 jewelers orbs for 5 sockets

and then Vaal it and hope for +1

[radiant beacon]

so id have to get all 5 sockets before corruption?

so nvm then, i got +1 on my 4 socket ice strike

[vague pike]

Yes. It cannot both give you +1 to sockets and +1 to level

[lethal summit]

i'm missing something. how does the lvl 14 gem become lvl 20?

[vague pike]

If you do what I say and get +1

Then you can use a 20 gem ontop of that

You can still level up gems after corruption

You just cant add sockets/quality

Its cheaper to gamble on say a level 14 gem

than 20s

[lethal summit]

oooooh

ok i think i see now

well, i haven't had any lvl 20 gems yet

speaking of which... are they stupid rare?

cause i've been running t15ss for a good while now

[vague pike]

This is something you do when you are already level 85-90+ and got good gear

You need to run T17-18s to see them

[lethal summit]

i'm lvl 91

[vague pike]

Ive seen 1 in a T17

[lethal summit]

and got dece gear i'd say

[vague pike]

Rest have been in T18

and pinnacle bosses

[lethal summit]

oh... i thought max maps was t16

[vague pike]

Max for the waystone.

If the map node is corrupted + Irradiated thans +2 to tier

Irradiated = +1 tier

Corruption = +1 tier

[lethal summit]

wait. corrupted? u use vaal orbs on map nodes?

[vague pike]

No

Some areas are corrupted

[lethal summit]

oh the thing with coalesced something?

[vague pike]

The red icon

[lethal summit]

yeye

ok so if i put a t16 on a map with those 2 things

i'm doing it right?

[vague pike]

Yes.

[lethal summit]

i see

should i be actively trying to do that combo?

[vague pike]

Ideally you want nodes with Boss/Corruption/Breach etc. And then use maps with Quantity/Rarity etc

For your best waystones yes

[lethal summit]

ok ok
