[finite sequoia]

Should I teleport or use the portal that's there?

[clear citrus]

make a portal

[finite sequoia]

Yay it worked

[south hazel]

Is there a global channel to share hideouts you found

[zinc flame]

can someone tell where i can find or get Melting Maelstrom
Ultimate Mana Flask

[clear citrus]

simulacrum (collect 300 simulacrum splinters to make a simulacrum, final boss has a % chance to drop it)

[zinc flame]

Thx

[south hazel]

anyone?

[clear citrus]

in case you didnt know where to use the simulacrum, its at the realm gate near the start of the map (to the right of ziggurat refuge) looks like this:

[limber umbra]

@zinc flame you're better off buying it its cheap bow

Now

[tight folio]

why would i wanna corrupt my items?

[clear citrus]

for a possibility of:

• extra socket
• changing stats beyond the limit (eg ingenuity belt goes from 40%-80% but you COULD possibly hit 90%+ or brick it at 40%)
• additional stats (maybe gives an enchant of eg. 10 int on jewel)

please remember, you currupt it... its done. you cant undo it or change it anymore. So have a backup or make sure its something you dont mind losing

[fathom veldt]

vaal is equivalent of all-in at the casino

[merry plume]

is this working? as soon as i leave the tempest the dmg buff ends

[narrow idol]

I died after defeting the boss, F or can I come back to the loot>?

also can''t do anything

is this a bug?

[merry plume]

chanced a sapphire ring, got the wrong ring. sadge

[clear citrus]

negative. you cant. its gone

[narrow idol]

Ye there's a big tho

Can't click anywhere

[clear citrus]

I am aware, I farm this. If you die, and the boss dies also it soft-locks you. Only fix I have found is to go to char select and come back but you cant enter after this.

[real obsidian]

I spent almost all my gold to respec us there a way I could get some more in an efficient way?

[clear citrus]

doing maps, you passively pick up gold without noticing. Or just keep picking up ALL items and selling them to vendors.

[real obsidian]

Okie thank

[clear citrus]

you could also get a kind soul to buy a ton of gear from alva and trade to you, you sell back. I would help but I just gambled all 18m gold 20 mins ago so Im probably more broke than you, in terms of gold.

[real obsidian]

That is a lot of gold. Thanks so much for the tips

[crystal wyvern]

does anyone know what the formula is to calculate ES on an item including Runes and quality and + es and %es increases?

[dusky star]

(base + flat) * increased * quality

increased from rune gets added together with inc% on the item itself

[merry plume]

people sell rare maps to get gold. like 60 pcs nets u around 1m or so.

if u have lots of currency to do that, might be workable

[arctic crag]

After level 88-92 are we always out of the experience safezone and playing with a penalty? The only thing we can do is try to get exp gain mods?

[mint pivot]

yes

[merry plume]

does zalatl soul core drop in all chaos trial? or above a certain level

[long pollen]

In all to my knowledge

[merry plume]

ok

too noob to run higher level trials.

[wind onyx]

well just started waystones, and I have gone from mopping the floor with bosses to now getting my ass kicked and unable to finish a single waystone yet. anything I should change about my setup? not sure what to screenshot specifically so just let me know what you need to see to know whats the problem

could jsut be a skill issue as well

but i feel like i am getting mauled to a degree I have not dealt with since the first time I tried trials

[clear citrus]

your resistances look terrible. get them all to 75. then upgrade your gear to do more dmg.

[wind onyx]

75??????

how on gods green earth do I get them that high lol

[clear citrus]

gear, jewels, soul sores socketed into gear. use the official trade site and do some calculating. 75 is not difficult to get.

[wind onyx]

alrighty

as for upgraded gear,

pretty much got all my armor n stuff as high as I can get it

belt is a lil ass though

admittedly

[clear citrus]

@wind onyxyou need to upgrade almost all of the gear. you need to find a way to balance dmg with resistances. you may need to sacrafice a stat for a resist. Your number 1 priority should be resistances if you dont want to die to a monster looking your direction

[wind onyx]

damn

well balls Ive got a shit load of exalted orbs but most of the time when I turn somehtin into a rare its got ass stats

[arctic crag]

Is this a mom build where midnight braid has a purpose?

[wind onyx]

i just got it one day and its been on me ever since

[arctic crag]

If not then that is probably the easiest fix

[wind onyx]

too be honest i had somewhat forgotten I had it on

[arctic crag]

it is good while leveling and in certain situations

[wind onyx]

I will defi go get a new belt

[arctic crag]

But if notice, rare belts are all defensive and can make balancing res easy

[clear citrus]

you can probably squeeze out 2 sets of resistances eg. fire 25+ lightning 25+ on belt alone for cheap

[polar basin]

i need the left part i recieved the right part now 3 times in a row am i doing something wrong ?

[clear citrus]

rng

[finite sequoia]

No, it's random

[wind onyx]

alrighty ill just get a normal rarit belt and upgrade the hell outta it

[polar basin]

ok ty

[wind onyx]

ill report back with how it goes o7

[finite sequoia]

Does the trialmaster fight give respawn attempts?

[arctic crag]

I tried like 7 chaos trials, all of them were either middle or right

I ended up buying a couple left pieces to try

[mint pivot]

if you're not ssf your currency would be better spent on just buying a belt

[clear citrus]

im asuming youre getting gear then upgrading and praying stats hit? youll find it easier + cheaper to just trade using the official trade site and get the stats you want

[mint pivot]

if you really can't finish a waystone then it's going to be hard to farm your own gear

[wind onyx]

true but just trading for one is somethin id rather not do for now

[arctic crag]

It felt very boring/time consuming to go through especially since you cant quit halfway and continue like sekhemas

[wind onyx]

ill see how i fare when I get a better belt

I do plenty damage, problem is I explode them and they explode me

a belt should help

[clear citrus]

i can guarantee you a belt will not fix your problems. it will help a bit. but goodluck

[finite sequoia]

I'm with you. If I traded for my gear, I'd have lost interest in the game long ago. I don't understand how people can enjoy that

[wind onyx]

hot DAMN the random norm belts are exspensive as balls lol

[mint pivot]

I don't like to trade I'm just saying you're in a pretty deep hole at this point to fix

[wind onyx]

well got one with 28% fire resist tho so ill go with upgradin that ffor now

[mint pivot]

it will be arduous

[arctic crag]

I can give you a belt, let me check

[mint pivot]

but if you don't mind then by all means

[wind onyx]

true, but its rahter satisfiying knowing up to this point ive been able to essentially swiss cheese bosses no effort without trading

so now i just gotta lock in and start swiss cheesing these waystones

ill see how long htis sentiment last tho lol

[arctic crag]

Also there are some aspects of the game you are skipping by trading, you can try to transmute/aug and if you hit 2 good mods, then regal normal belts

[wind onyx]

at least should try crafting a belt r two

yeah ill go wit that

ive got 3 belts to work with so ill see what I can do

[arctic crag]

what level are you btw?

[mint pivot]

self finding gear isn't hard for low tier maps

like krow said it's basically just capping res

[finite sequoia]

If you're making your own gear, I'd recommend transmuting+augmenting every good base you find. If you get a really good stat (or two decent ones), regal it. If the regal gives you something good too, exalt it. Transmutes, augments, and regals are dirt cheap. Even regals are like 1/100th of an exalt. You really improve your odds if you just keep mashing those cheap currencies and churning through the RNG process until you find something

[clear citrus]

trading is a big part of the game, dont forget you may hit something that is trash for you but worth a lot to someone else. Either way goodluck

[wind onyx]

67 at the moment

[mint pivot]

then you can start to build an hp/es pool and optimize defense/offense some more

[arctic crag]

yea I can understand if you want super high rolled gear, but I think up to maybe level 75 just play around with orbs unless you dont have a lot.

[wind onyx]

Im not a big hater of trading its just for now im avoiding it at least for gear

[arctic crag]

Be more objective though, like if it doesnt hit 2 good mods as a magic belt then dont try to regal it.

[wind onyx]

I really wanna trade my uniques tho lol Ive been stockpiling those mfers

[clear citrus]

i got some bad news for you

[arctic crag]

That is also a good idea

salvage the uniques

[wind onyx]

so iveh eard in global krow

[mint pivot]

disagree

[wind onyx]

people dont like to buy em TT

[arctic crag]

and use currency market

[mint pivot]

1 good mod is good enough to regal while your gear sucks

[arctic crag]

yea thats true mb

[clear citrus]

99% of uniques arent worth more than 1 exalt

[arctic crag]

you get 1 prefix and 1 suffix

you can also use essences btw

[finite sequoia]

Yeah, regals are too cheap to justify being stingy with

[wind onyx]

but auto cast ember fusilade ;-;

[mint pivot]

realistically they're not worth more than a chance shard

this late in the economy people aren't really buying 1ex uniques

even if they're technically worth that

[wind onyx]

wack

[arctic crag]

yea you can sell chance shards at currency market

[wind onyx]

well I guess i will have a ton of c hance shards though

so there is that

got regals in particular that are like above the curve and ARE actually worth somehting?

or are they all kinda just mid trading wise

[arctic crag]

Arpgs like this are not super heavy on mechanics especially in the endgame and mostly 1-2 button so these are usually fun things to do.

[mint pivot]

I do suggest looking up your uniques on trade to learn what is worth money though.

[wind onyx]

I tried that and they never showed up

[mint pivot]

helps you learn to filter them yourself slowly

[wind onyx]

uniques are the orange ones right

?

[mint pivot]

yes

[wind onyx]

cause i type in their names and never got anyhting

[mint pivot]

just search the name on the trade site with no other search specifications

[wind onyx]

THE trade site?

is there an official one

[mint pivot]

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

[wind onyx]

oh neat

[mint pivot]

People do price fix though so I would look at like the first 15 listings or so not just the top one

[finite sequoia]

Yeah just search the name of the unique and it'll show what other people are selling. Tip: Sort by recently listed, by clicking the "listed ___ ago" on the right, beside the name. That's a more reliable indicator than the default sort

[arctic crag]

also look up the etiquette for trading, there should be short youtube videos

[wind onyx]

alright so the todolist is salvage most if not all my uniques then make a belt with resistances

o7

[mint pivot]

make an everything with resistances

[arctic crag]

yea pause for a bit and look at uniques and if they are salvage worthy

Also make sure to check if corrupting a unique makes it more valuable

[mint pivot]

Resists>life>Evasion basically

[wind onyx]

oh GOD they sell for like nothing lmao T^T

[arctic crag]

basically go grab a drink and look at trade market

[mint pivot]

yeah some of them can go from nothing to a decent chunk of change with a corrupt

[merry plume]

at level 75 u could probably gear to clear t15 with less than a divine. what comes after that is the grind

[mint pivot]

or a good roll on their affixes

[wind onyx]

corrupt?

[arctic crag]

btw you should have a decent amount of essence right? I remember campaigh had a fair amount

[wind onyx]

like vaaling?

[arctic crag]

you can also use them on normal belts to craft

[mint pivot]

yeah uniques have special vaal outcomes

[wind onyx]

interesting

ill give that a look

for now I just need to stock up on normal belts

thatll also be good

then use essence

[arctic crag]

Idk what a good process would be, maybe search for a unique and sort by price high to low

if there are plenty with high prices for corrupted then it might mean they are not as bad when corrupted and get certain mods increased

you can also try this search process few and confirm with people here to make sure you are doing it the right way.

[wind onyx]

gotcha

[finite sequoia]

Anyone know if the Trialmaster fight gives respawn attempts?

[mint pivot]

no

[finite sequoia]

How does he compare to Zarokh in difficulty, would you say?

[mint pivot]

way harder

he only has 1 attack that matter really

but it's lethal

[finite sequoia]

Do you remember which one that is?

[mint pivot]

overhead slam

he has some other big attacks but they are very easy to see coming and dodge

the slam is relatively fast

if you can tank that he's pretty easy though

[wind onyx]

alriiiight with artificer orbs and runes and new belt im at 62% lightning resist!

[mint pivot]

I would try to keep your resists relatively even

since what you'll run into is effectively random

[wind onyx]

true but for now lightning will work cause the current waystone has been those lightning fucks

[merry plume]

does ci prevent u from getting poisoned?

[mint pivot]

Technically, no. Effectively yes

you will still get poisoned afaik it just does no damage

[merry plume]

ah i see i see. thanks

[wind onyx]

after i complete the map to i just leave?

like with portal to base

or do i need to find a specific thing

[mint pivot]

have to kill all the rares and the boss if there is one for it to be considered completed

if you pull up the overlay map the bottom line in the top right will tell you if it's completed or not

[south grove]

Hi I've seen that players have inscribed ultimatums which have mods on them and are corrupted. Do they drop that way or is it somehow possible to do with currency, because I've tried that and it doesn't work

[mint pivot]

trialmaster can drop them like that

it's the only way

[south grove]

thanks

oo. finally, finish my 1st lv 80 trial

its alot of rng getting good debuffs

[proud gorge]

How do seasons work in POE? I'm familiar with Diablo where on the start of a new season, characters from the previous season get moves to a timeless place where you can continue them forever, but cannot interact with new season characters. Is POE similar?

[mint pivot]

Basically the same as that yeah

[frigid lantern]

Yo guys does this count as a good drop? I am still noob at this game so idk what good loot from the bad, and if so how much would it sell for

[mint pivot]

they're called leagues in poe1, I'm not sure if they'll keep the naming convention for two or not. But every 3-4 months there's a new core mechanic added to the game (that may or may not stay.) And with it comes a new league with a new economy, a fresh start for everyone.

[proud gorge]

Diablo seasons could be looked as a combination of very season specific elements and general game improvements, like changes to crafting, etc. The general game improvements were immediately available to those timeless characters as well. Is the common to POE as well?

Thinking ahead to the 0.2 release that sounds like it will create a new economy. Trying to decide if I need to start over to enjoy the new things, or if that's optional.

[idle hazel]

Yes, they will still call them leagues. In Early Access, we're unlikely to be getting wholly new league mechanics, more so ports of PoE1 content and the rest of the base game content like the 6 classes, 24 ascendancies and the remaining weapon types.

[mint pivot]

and balance changes, new items, system changes etc also come with the league, usually they'll pick one or two systems to work on and do some incremental work on a bunch of other stuff.

[proud gorge]

That's fair. New Leagues probably doesn't make sense until the full release, but they've mentioned "new economy" a couple times for the release of big balanace/system changes. If the only way to get to those changes is to start over, I will resist starting a new character now, and wait.

[mint pivot]

the only way to participate in the new economy is to make a new character when that comes out.

but the standard league will still get all the balance changes and such

[proud gorge]

Perfect. This is what I was looking to understand. As long as the mechanics are available, I don't need this character to be part of the new economy.

[mint pivot]

I'm actually not sure if the league mechanic is implemented

I meant all the secondary and tertiary changes

[hollow ice]

they will probably do an economy reset

[proud gorge]

They have not given us any hints about how long until that happens, correct?

[mint pivot]

They said in the racing post they want 0.2 to be out in a month give or take

but timelines are iffy right now so I wouldn't count on it for certain

[proud gorge]

Oh, I missed that. That's pretty useful because I think we can bank on it being a month give, but unlikely to take. 😉

[mint pivot]

but yeah I don't know if the league mechanic is implemented in the standard league upon release or not, I've never played standard for more than 5 minutes to test something.

[viral blaze]

does anyone know why trial of sekhemas woudnt show on map
pls anyone

[mint pivot]

Like it's not on the overworld map? Can I see?

[idle hazel]

If you mean something like Legion being available in Standard during Legion league, then no. However, mechanics added to the base game, such as current Legion, Expedition and so on, are available in Standard. Generally, the only thing that isn't present in Standard is the current ongoing league mechanic.

[viral blaze]

friend doing it rn

told me to check normal act if he killed it there and not just hard

maybe that was problem

hopefully

@mint pivotdo u know if i lose trial progress if i teleport to him and start new map?

or if im out for more than 15min

[mint pivot]

Yeah I know they add them after if they're made permanent I just didn't know about the current one.

[mint pivot]

trial of sekhema, no

trial of chaos yes

[viral blaze]

soo it stays open forever?

[mint pivot]

the portal will close but you can just start again from the last selection room you were in

[viral blaze]

love u

[mint pivot]

via the relic altar in the sekhema room

[compact acorn]

so 0.2.0 means reset as in all characters reset?

[tacit willow]

Does the trial of sekhemas affliction spiked exit (monsters have 50% more life) affect the final boss?

[mint pivot]

Your current character(s) will remain where they are, but a new league will exist with a fresh economy and likely a new mechanic.

[peak minnow]

yes

[minor mason]

what jewels have mana on kill on them?

[tacit willow]

Anyone know how to open this gate to the right?

[mint pivot]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Sapphire

[minor mason]

thanks

[finite sequoia]

I killed the Trialmaster after dying to him once! Woohoo! I know no one has any reason to care, but I needed someone to know

[lofty horizon]

Is there a specific area to try and get greater jeweler orbs cuz I’m level 80 and haven’t found a single one?

[mint pivot]

Local knowledge node on the atlas tree can improve their chance to drop in a certain biome.

There's also a node for arbiter to drop socket currency

but I doubt you're farming arbiter at 80 with 4 sockets

[finite sequoia]

Wiki: "Inscribed Ultimatums can have affixes. Prefixes provide reward modifiers, such as sacrificing currency to recieve double on trial completion, while suffixes provide dangerous modifiers."

When I try to transmute one, it doesn't do anything...

[mint pivot]

special ultimatums only drop from trialmaster

[clever zenith]

does quarterstaff count as a two handed weapon for the overwhelm passive?

[night zinc]

I have a node I should be able to access that is still inactive... v annoying

[finite sequoia]

What useful things can an SSF player farm from the chaos trial, assuming none of the uniques interest them? Is it just Soul Cores?

[mint pivot]

Chaos orbs/vaal orbs

I haven't documented it but I'm 99% certain that the droprate on those items is WAY higher

seems like every other boss drops a chaos

[mint pivot]

qstaves are 2 handed

[crystal wyvern]

is there a way to search for items with empty rune sockets

[novel crow]

been farming it for a few days, only the soul cores really

[minor mason]

bog wtich didnt give me spirit buff

[merry plume]

is trialmaster hard?

i got all the pieces

[acoustic bane]

it's a quest item that you need to pick up and then use from your inventory. this is the Act 3 Cruel one:

[minor mason]

Yes, she dropped nothing

idk maybe i did it already with a friend and forgot

is there a way to see all the permabuffs I have picked up

[acoustic bane]

you should have 100 Spirit by the end of Act 3 Cruel

[minor mason]

im on t15 maps lol

didnt realize i missed a ton of perma buffs so am going back throughj

and this is the last one it says i havent done

[acoustic bane]

Do you have 100 Spirit? Without items

[acoustic bane]

a lot of them you can check on the world map screen. For example, the 6x resistance rewards you can mouse over them on the map to check if you got them in both regular and cruel:

1. Beira in Act 1 - Clearfell.
2. The statue things in Act 2 - Pillars of Deshar. This one is easy to miss.
3. Blackjaw in Act 3 - Jiquani's Machinarium. Flip to below ground to check this one.

[minor mason]

i have 150

i think i just forgot i did it with a friend

cause i have 100 spirit with no gear

[acoustic bane]

then you got all the spirit quest items. there's 3x that give Spirit. +30, +30, and +40

[proper tartan]

I guess Tier 11 is where the waypoints start costing a lot, so I'll just do what I have for now and try to get lucky

and the second I say that I go in with a tier 10 waystone and find a stellar amulet right off!

[acoustic bane]

Let's see, total quest rewards:

• 24 skill points / weapon set points - if you look at the passives and see that you have 24 weapon set points, you got them all.
• +100 spirit total.
• +20% to fire, cold, and lightning. +10% in one from each act in both cruel and normal. 6 total.
• +20 max life from Candlemass end of Act 1 and then +8% max life in Act 1 Cruel.
• Valley of Titans choice in regular and cruel.
• Venom Crypts choice in regular and cruel.

[frigid lantern]

what level should i be to get my first breach boss kill

[mint pivot]

Level is hardly a measure of character power

[frigid lantern]

my tier 15 map boss kill is pretty fast. sitting at 100k dps on my ice strike with crazy crit

[mint pivot]

what difficulty of map boss?

[frigid lantern]

irradiated

on tier 15 maps

[mint pivot]

no, like how many points do you have in the boss atlas tree

[frigid lantern]

oh 4

[mint pivot]

you should be good

xesht is probably more lethal than most unmodified map bosses though

[frigid lantern]

yeah and i’m cranking out millions in the first 3-5 seconds when i have UA stacked with charged staff and bell rage

[mint pivot]

how much hp/es do you have?

[frigid lantern]

1650 health 1700 ES

and i could be at more if i up my gloves one more time im just low on exalts

[mint pivot]

I think only one of his attacks would one shot you then

it's close though if it will or not

but you get 6 tries so should be good unless you die clearin the breach

[frigid lantern]

i just want the first two breach points to make farming breaches actually worth

[frigid lantern]

oh sweet i didn’t know that

[mint pivot]

imo breach needs 4 points to be worth it

so you can get the density node

[frigid lantern]

shit makes my game run at like 20 frames

[lucid tide]

Anyone know why my offerings is constantly targeting the same minon type no matter how far away they are from my cursor? I have 16 arsonists, 2 clerics and 1 storm mage skeletals and no matter where I place my mouse one cleric and one Storm mage gets consumed

[slow ore]

any one know the best way to get more crit chance?

[small rune]

are the benefits for grim feast gems only active if your shield is overflowed

so I want to use accuracy since I have nothing else much to slot in

or its better to slot it into ghost dance if grim feast has weird interaction like its only active when you pick up a fragment

or wind dancer

[mint pivot]

simply having the skill active is the only requirement

[finite sequoia]

Should I vaal bad t15s and hope for better mods, or just reforge them 3-for-1?

[prime scroll]

How much waystone quantity is going from t15 to t16 worth?

Specifically when doing citadels

[mint pivot]

well you can't get a t16 without wasting your corruption on that unless you're banking on double corrupt keystone

you'd rather corrupt all suffixes or 8 mods

[prime scroll]

Yeah

Also, does quantity of items actually work with waystones? And if so, is it safe to assume it's additive with waystone quantity?

[finite sequoia]

Okay, I'm new to corrupting maps. I just got this. It added a bunch of mods, but they all kinda suck. Is this just junk that I shouldn't run, or does the fact that it has tons of mods mean the item rarity will be very high?

[quasi shell]

there is a rarity affix, the map you made doesnt have any rarity bonus. it is pretty difficult considering the mods though which increases the waystone drop chance

360% in your case

[finite sequoia]

So basically it's just more waystone drops and that's about it?

[oak flint]

do you need monster level 82 to get to 6 pts in ritual atlas tree? I allocated my points and have +2 to crux difficulty but its still showing 81

[quasi shell]

well, you have more packs and pack size

so that means more chance of items dropping, so more chance of divs exalts etc

but the map itself doesnt have increased rarity to boost those chances

but boosting mob density does boost drop chance since you have more chance to drop it

but each chance to drop isnt boosted by "rarity" mod

[finite sequoia]

Sure, but I have tons of t15 maps with item rarity modifiers, so I'm just trying to understand whether something like this one is even worth running

[quasi shell]

if the rarity modded map also has density, then the rarity modded one is better

but its often a balance to pick ideal map

like this has increased density and rarity, so thats ideal assuming you can run it

[mint pivot]

doesn't gold steal your drops?

[wraith hornet]

are meta skills good enough to be worth using 2 monk ascendancy points on?

[mint pivot]

if they're the crux of your build, sure

but most people aren't using them for clearing nowadays

[royal orchid]

does '18% increased Damage if you have Consumed a Corpse Recently' apply when i cast soul offering?

[junior hornet]

idk but seems like your minion were still "alive" when you cast offering

[wind onyx]

I got my djinn barya for third ascendancy, did the trial, and got to the chest room and beat it, but didnt get my points? instead it seems the trial didnt actually complete?

never seen this one before

I did it in the non cruel diffuculty sekmehta trial area as in cruel I never got around to finding the trial waystone cause I figured it didnt matter

[mint pivot]

there are 3 floors

[wind onyx]

ah balls

[rapid tulip]

end boss carries dm.. free,your loot

[quasi shell]

anyone need 4th ascendancy free, msg me ign

[clever zenith]

is juiced maps causing fps drops just a given or is there something i can do

[novel crow]

more powah

does waystone rarity affect breach drops?

[minor void]

no

[novel crow]

not much is the conclusion I find googling

[novel crow]

thanks

[minor void]

item quantity does

[novel crow]

is simulacrum worth running if you can't get to the 15th round?

[jolly oriole]

how much aRE BREACH RING BASE WORTH?

[crystal wyvern]

Anyone know if you can heavy stun a frost wall?

[fathom veldt]

no

[crystal wyvern]

is there a way to search for items that have empty sockets?

[junior hornet]

does it matter?

[zenith sigil]

you can replace runes

[crystal wyvern]

yes, im looking for something that might cost less because it's an unfinished piece without its potential realized

[zenith sigil]

but no, not yet an option to search for empty sockets

[junior hornet]

I don't get it what's the item?

[minor void]

Then you’re probably better off looking for 0 socket, non corrupted items

[junior hornet]

that option existed but they removed it after they made runes swapable, you can't search for socketed items back then

[merry plume]

i collected alot of rings and amulets, magic and rare, what do i do with it

reforge hoping to get better?

[lone raft]

when will divine orbs drop for me

[novel crow]

belated thanks

yay finally got my physical max hit above 8k

looking good now https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/1hdog007

funny how it doesn't show the damage of cast on freeze, oh well

Can still get one shot by a boss physical slam though, which sucks. I wish there was something for that.

[arctic crag]

level 98 whoa

[novel crow]

Yeah been busy, hard to get op damage with this build, so need levels

[slender brook]

Im confused, you can't finish simulacrum?

[novel crow]

Nope

Haven't tried in a while, might be able to now

Skill issue

Pob is deceptive, DMG is bursty

[merry plume]

so many price fixers for melting maelstrom

[sharp garnet]

does the hooded one identify items until endgame?

[merry plume]

in maps u get doryani to do it. in acts yes

[sharp garnet]

i see
thx

[hollow ice]

yeah lol i was trying to buy one earlier

almost got scammed 3 times too

[storm coyote]

Can anyone help me with 4th ascendancy... I am pulling my hair out

[steady dawn]

sure

[amber jacinth]

I moved on to Act 3, but it takes a while and HP decreases more than necessary, what should I do?

[novel crow]

meh divs inflated yet again

[dusky star]

make sure your build is good (are you using some sort of guide? if not, maybe you could be inspired a bit by one, or look over your build being critical if anything needs improving)
make sure you have some decent gear (check vendors for good gear pieces/maybe gamble for some gear at the gamble vendor for your worst gear slots)

[amber jacinth]

Which resistor for act 3?

[dusky star]

which? ideally all the elemental ones, you can mostly ignore chaos for now

most would argue that lightning+cold is always a bit more important than fire

because shock/freeze is scarier than ignite

[tender thorn]

is Mahuxotl's Machination Omen Crest Shield worth 5div?? that's the cheapest on the market atm

[mint pivot]

towards the end of act 3 it's a lot of cold and lightning

[amber jacinth]

thx mann ❤️

[dusky star]

rolls massively differ on mahuxotl, hence the price also differs a lot depending on roll

[mint pivot]

I'm seeing corrupted 2 sockets at like 5-15 ex

650% core bonus 3 socket are crazy expensive though

[amber jacinth]

For example, I am currently taking a lot of damage in Act 3. Does it make sense for me to farm in Act 2 Lost City until I fix my items?

my eng. bad sorry @dusky star

[mild tiger]

Going to sound a little daft but ive done all the quests at the point of just doing t15s and such, whats my next goal?

[mint pivot]

the world is your oyster

[dusky star]

it's really up to you, I've never had to farm an old zone to progress

I would look at what other people do on your class/ascendancy, and maybe improve your build

[mint pivot]

you can try to focus on a league mechanic and progress that tree, try to farm for a specific item or items, amass wealth, reroll a new build, whatever tickles your fancy.

[mild tiger]

I guess optimising my build further would be nice

the whole crafting and dps thing goes right over my head though

[mint pivot]

poe is all about making your own goals and taking whatever means you favor to get there.

it can be as small as getting your tooltip dps up 5k or as big as buying a mirror or something

[junior hornet]

I never achieved my goal

[mint pivot]

something something the friends we made along the way

[tender thorn]

oh ty yall rock, my friend was looking so maybe they were looking for a specific roll ❤️

has anyone else noticed delirious maps corrupt up alot more?? corrupted 10 maps, and 2 went to 16 and a 14 went to 15!!

[amber jacinth]

The features of the items are a bit bad 🥹

I use arsonist build

I need to farm and fix items in Lost City. I lack a lot of resistance and my item attributes are bad.

it's best this way

[junior hornet]

check vendors also

[amber jacinth]

I will check it thanks

[tender thorn]

advice for what to upgrade first??
Ice Strike Invoker lvl89
amulet is just something I found earlier and am having fun w/

[chrome patio]

hello. can someone help me understand delirium emotions? how do I get the specific delirum modifiers such as more rare monsters?

[tender thorn]

when you add them to the map before you confirm it will tell you what each emotion adds <can probably wiki too

[chrome patio]

oh okay thank you

does vaaling keep the delirous modifiers? or does it have the chance to corrupt those too?

also what is usually a good delirium modifier to add to waystones?

[tender thorn]

it can corrupt all the others and still change the lvl+/-1, I like the ones on the stone I posted a bit ago <rare drop, magic monsters, and either pack size or waystone drop

not sure if it can corrupt the deli modifiers, but I'd assume it can make em go up or down a bit, just had enough 15's to start doing these today

[mild tiger]

dropped the guy twice what node should i go for

[quasi shell]

most people do this

[mild tiger]

sweet

[tender thorn]

anyone wanna trade some corrupted t15s for a div? they're all around 100-200% waystone chance 10:1

[kindred jetty]

Hey. I am playing as a Witch. Here I was playing in a party and my mana was leeched by my party members. Anyone knows what skill or passive that does this?

[quasi shell]

there is a scepter that does that

forgot name

[kindred jetty]

Ooh. That's it!

[quasi shell]

very annoying

[kindred jetty]

Indeed. Does not work well in party mode. 🤔

Was like at zero mana all the time. Lol

[quasi shell]

unless you are just feeding them mana, you have high regen/pool

[kindred jetty]

Well yeah. That makes sense. IT'D be a Live Witch Mana Battery.

[quasi shell]

kinky

[kindred jetty]

Before doing party again I need to find a replacement off-hand. Are there any off-hands (besides Scepter) that gives spirit? Don't think I've found any so far.

[quasi shell]

i have plenty i can give you

there is a nice shield that does too

whats your ign

[idle hazel]

You could also just find a different Sceptre, it doesn't have to be the unique one that sacrifices your Mana.

[chrome patio]

hello, how do I go in the boss arena? the boss spawned while i was outside..

[novel crow]

you can get +220 mana on sceptre

[quasi shell]

that just happened to me

i read you can login/out reset server but that did not work for me

[novel crow]

This is the sceptre I use for its spirit, only one affix is useless to me

cost me 1 div too since most sceptre users want other stuff on them

[quasi shell]

thats pretty nice, didnt think about mana regen but i kinda need it

[novel crow]

also maxroll calculates wrong,it's 160 spirit, perfect for 100+60 spirit gems

I managed to squeeze blink into the build thanks to that

[quasi shell]

this mines

[novel crow]

you a minion build?

[quasi shell]

nope spark

[crystal wyvern]

how exactly do divine orbs work? do they randomize every roll on an item?

[quasi shell]

they randomize all explicit modifies within their tier

[novel crow]

yeah so you're paying for minion levels in an item like that which is desirable for minion builds, you can get better for cheaper if not competing with minioners

[idle hazel]

It affects both implicit and explicit in PoE2.

[quasi shell]

its for grim feast

[novel crow]

ah

[quasi shell]

wait wahhhhh

[novel crow]

I don't have ES

[quasi shell]

learned something new today

[novel crow]

really? TIL too, ty

[idle hazel]

It doesn't specify implicit or explicit, like Divine and Blessed Orbs do in PoE1, so it is just all properties.

[novel crow]

so no blessed

[quasi shell]

yeah now it's clear

[novel crow]

coming

[idle hazel]

Correct.

[chrome patio]

hello. is there anything else to try to enter the boss area? im locked out of it.. 😦

[idle hazel]

Not sure if this applies to endgame bosses, but all boss arenas in the campaign get an interactable 'entrance' outside that you can click on to get in.

[tender thorn]

can I sell bulk trial runs? got like 20 of each lvl 75-80, tryna figure out how to get 2 more divines to get a good stellar amulet ❤️

[quasi shell]

you can use tft

[tender thorn]

what is tft?

[quasi shell]

its another discord for poe used to sell services/items

[tender thorn]

ohh ok ty 🙂

[tender thorn]

are there diminishing returns on Evasion % I'm at 88-89% w/ Wind Dancer

[fathom veldt]

well obviously, otherwise youd be able to reach 100

logarithmic scaling

[junior hornet]

it also caps at 95

[tender thorn]

ok where do most ppl stop? mines kinda been getting pumped just from my recent gear purchases

[junior hornet]

95

[tender thorn]

xD fair ❤️

[fathom veldt]

there isnt really threhsold

get as high as possible withotu comprimising other stats

[dusky star]

most get acrobatics if they path near it

and they have high enough evasion to justify it

(this is assuming you're not running queen of the forest, in which case, ignore)

[tender thorn]

is 89% enough to safely run acro?? tried around 75 and it felt meh
drops me to 67%

[dusky star]

pre-wind dancer stacks? I mean, it's up to you

I just really liked acro as a whole

[tender thorn]

67% w/ wind dancer

[junior hornet]

65-70 with acro taken is fine

[tender thorn]

ok ty 🙂 yall rock ❤️

[dusky star]

also, it's just one respec away, give it a few maps and try it

[junior hornet]

yeah for me I don't like acro

[tender thorn]

yep I actually just dropped a +15% evasion node I grabbed earlier for it, so we'll see how it feels

[tender thorn]

I keep dying out of no where cause I'm sleepy xD

[dusky star]

once I had acro + atziri disdain + a really good chest, I felt really solid on LA deadeye

was surprised how tanky it felt

but then again, after that I played gemling and anything I considered "OP" on deadeye was just silly compared to gemling stat stacker

[hidden helm]

if i start a SSF character now do i have to play next league or do changes apply to my character?

[zenith sigil]

changes to passive tree and skills generally apply to all active leagues
league specific mechanics, content, items will only be in the new league

[junior hornet]

wait punch cannot crit?

[hidden helm]

why is there a projectile modifier on punch

[junior hornet]

good question

[tender thorn]

does area of effect work on Flicker Strink tryna figure out what gems to use on it, all the lightning and ice ones are used else where

[junior hornet]

yes

[modern geode]

Mgsv punch

[tender thorn]

are we hardlocked to 1 guild??

[timid tide]

Guys, why is it recommended to first open Towers segment and only after that put Tablet in them?

[dusky star]

what do you mean exactly? you obviously need to do the towers before you can tablets in them - people tend to unlock towers using the worst maps (maps they don't want to do after doing the towers), this way they leave the good maps to be hit by later when they tablet the towers

if you use tablet the instant you unlock the first tower, it may hit bad maps that you have to path through for the 2nd/3rd/4th tower, somewhat wasting that tablet charge on a bad map/layout

[timid tide]

A-a-a, I see now

[dusky star]

if most of the maps you path through for later towers are good/you don't mind breach on them/you have so many towers you won't waste any breach tablets by using them early, then it's fine to do so ofc

and it means more maps will have quant/etc. while you run them to unlock towers which can feel nice

[wild oxide]

Is 75% the most honor res u can have in sekhemas?

[junior hornet]

there's also maximum honour res you can get

[civic nacelle]

what does Unleash support do? i can't quite understand the wording

is it beneficial for orb of storms?

[junior hornet]

it "saves" the supported skill into charges (seals) when you use that skill it unleash those charges, casting the skill multiple times by the number of remaining charges

orb of storm has a limit of 1 so it would just override, unless you have smth to increase limit

[civic nacelle]

oh, so you do overabundance + unleash to get 2 orbs?

[finite sequoia]

My issue is that it gets so hard to track which towers I've completed but not precursored and which ones have already been precursored. They both look identical: a green base and a glowing top

[dusky star]

yeah, sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and click them

[finite sequoia]

Do you path through good maps to clear out bad maps before inserting the tablet? Or do you not do that because the good map is too valuable to waste doing before precursoring?

[civic nacelle]

@junior hornet if i'm a non-caster build, would the overabundance+unleash combo really do anything noticeable?

since i have no spell dmg scaling the orb anyway

i'm using it for font of mana/rage and was just looking for 2 useful final links to put on it

[dusky star]

eh, kinda depends - I do fail bad maps on purpose if they're next to my path (reachable), of course

everyone should do that if they aren't already

put waystone in -> leave -> put next waystone in other garbo

so they don't get hit by tablet

(goes to show how silly poe2 juicing is, that this is even a thing)

[finite sequoia]

Wait, I must be confused. If you open a map but don't complete it, it can't be affected by precursor league mechanics?

[dusky star]

if you intentionally fail it (start another map) yes

tablets can't hit it when you pop the towers

[finite sequoia]

Oh man, I've been completing bad maps this whole time

[dusky star]

yee, it was only discovered after a bit of time

or at least, publicly shared

[finite sequoia]

But what I'm wondering about is what to do when the only access to a bad map is through a good map. Do you still do the good map to get to it?

[dusky star]

imo no

if say you have 10-15 good maps, and you have to path through one to kill 3 bad ones, then sure

but through 1 good to kill 1 bad? fuck that

[junior hornet]

if ur using it for the buff then there's no need unleash

[dusky star]

in the end, just do what takes less time, too

[finite sequoia]

I consider all maps that aren't bad to be good. Is that the consensus? e.g., I don't particularly care if it's Vaal Factory or Savannah

[dusky star]

idk, when I did breach I really liked the premium maps

but yeah, as long as it's not hidden grotto or mire, I'm not hating life

[civic nacelle]

o ok, do you know of a possible decent 4th link after font of rage/mana/arcane tempo?

[finite sequoia]

Crypt is the worst. Oh my god, you kill one pack and the rare icons appear

[junior hornet]

persistent

[dusky star]

I like crypt because it's quick to do

so I don't hate it if I have to clear it

[viral blaze]

why is tht bad?

[dusky star]

I just don't want a 10 breach pop on it

[finite sequoia]

Is there ever a reason to clear a bad map instead of doing the touch-and-leave thing you mentioned?

[dusky star]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n4vj2S-y4UjxrhXCIMVF9ZqJA1Tmea2ldKP9d8lx6Ho/htmlview?gid=1981293216# is decent btw

[civic nacelle]

mm my orb gets used up within like 3-4 seconds of galvanic though

persistent wouldn't do anything for it then right?

[dusky star]

well you may have to go through it ofc?

[finite sequoia]

Oh, duh

[dusky star]

touch and leave is just for anything that's near your towers

before you pop them

[junior hornet]

oh ur using lightning skill

[finite sequoia]

Unrelated: how do maps get corrupted? Not waystones, but maps. Are they just naturally like that from the atlas seed you got?

[junior hornet]

maybe there's another skill which you can put rage on that is not orb of storm?

[civic nacelle]

i usually put it on ripwire ballista

but ripwire ballista gets oneshot in later rounds of simulacrum

[dusky star]

yep, there's also the boss atlas tree node that gives 30% corrupt on boss maps

[tender thorn]

yo how does guild storage work? if my friends disbandon and join my guild or vice versa do our tabs still carry over??
got two different friend groups with separate guilds xD

[dusky star]

but afaik it's rng

[civic nacelle]

i guess i'll just put Expanse on it so the font range is a bit bigger

[tender thorn]

my high ass never even new disbandon was a word until it didn't spellcheck me lmfao

[kindred jetty]

Any reason why I find so few wands and scepters with quality? I have lots of whetstones for physical weapons but so few magic.

[finite sequoia]

It's not. It's an erroneous portmanteau of disband and abandon. Like how "irregardless" isn't a word, but a mashup of irrespective and regardless. (Actually, I just looked it up in the OED - "disbandon" used to be a word a few hundred years ago, but is now extinct)

[tender thorn]

ohh I see them phat conjunctions <I meant contractions xD I need to sleep...

[finite sequoia]

Does it matter in what direction you enter a delirium thingy?

[wild oxide]

U know what the most is u can have?

[junior hornet]

90 like the other res i think

[blissful egret]

when are the new characters out

[tender thorn]

I forget corrupting gear can change stats and stat rolls right?

[finite sequoia]

I forgot to ask: if I fail a map in this way (putting it in then not completing it and moving on to another map), can I redo it later if I decide I want to path through it? Or is it permanently blocking passage now?

[dusky star]

you can redo

it's just map attempted, still doable

only citadels perma-fail iirc?

[tender thorn]

so does anyone know if we can merge guilds and keep tabs??

[wild oxide]

I thought the max honor res was 75?

[junior hornet]

by default, there's a relic mod gives you maximum, if they work the same as other res

[finite sequoia]

What's the purpose of the orb of annulment when a chaos orb is cheaper and acts as an exalted on top of it (which you were gonna do anyway, right?)

[undone merlin]

Just got the big flying bug with mana steal and regen health. Had to quit map. Without a non mana weapon its impossible to beat. Impossible to get any mana to attack because he moves faster than me in my +30% boots. This bullshit

[dusky star]

chaos only works on rares, annul can be used on ritual tablets etc.

or magic jewels, if trying to get a perfect one before you corrupt for adorned

[worldly grail]

Wow I did not know

Those blue magic jewel ones can be very powerful

[arctic crag]

Same TIL

Oh wait I think that worked the same in Poe as well

[worldly dagger]

Is laggy delirious savannah a bug? I encountered this twice already

[violet remnant]

I can't socket anything into spark... is that a new bug?

[blazing bronze]

Yeahhh just gotta stay next to him and not run

[undone merlin]

i m not sure what all he had but i was empty when next to him

[blazing bronze]

Gotcha but standing next to him so he doesn't drain your mana is usually your best bet cause it's like impossible to run from them. Really annoying combo but standing next to him is your best bet and not in the mana draining donut

[undone merlin]

gotcha thanks. ill try to keep that in mind. instinct when i cant attack is to run

[blazing bronze]

Lol fr once I found out that if you stand in the inside it doesn't drain mana, I was like Ohhh and it's not so bad anymore if they are too fast for you to run

[undone merlin]

ive got 745 hrs in this gamei feel like ishould have more than 4 greater essences. have over 120 regular. they need to up the rate

[blazing bronze]

Think i have 2 with 200 hours

Really low

[thorny briar]

uhm, is my map stuck? 😦

[idle hazel]

You should be able to walk around there

[thorny briar]

that wall is closed off :x

[idle hazel]

If you don't see the passage, there's usually a switch on the pillar that you can press.

[thorny briar]

ah ok

was unaware this map had switches

[idle hazel]

In general, if it's pathable on the minimap, there's usually some way to walk through. I don't believe any other maps have passages like this at the moment, though.

[mental idol]

noooooooo

[last slate]

for citadels what map u put in rarity or quantity?

[nocturne escarp]

does bow count as one handed weapon?

[idle hazel]

No, it's two-handed.

[narrow idol]

how would I go there?

[next tusk]

make a boat

[proper tartan]

quick question for sorceress spark archmage:
Does it make any sense to go for "Heart of the storm" (40% of elem damage recouped as energy shield)
Or go for "Shaper of Storms" (All dmg from hits contributes to shock chance)?

[mint pivot]

Shaper of storms effectively does nothing since you're already lightning damage

[proper tartan]

I should add that I use Mind over Matter and Eldrich Battery already etc.

[mint pivot]

It's only good if you also get double shock

[proper tartan]

I think I do have a lot into shock already passive skills wise

[mint pivot]

Yeah if you have good shock magnitude it's good

If you only have 6 points it's probably best to just take improved exposure or something

[proper tartan]

I wish there was a way to calculate that or look it up for my character

[mint pivot]

It's called path of building

[proper tartan]

no I mean: to look up what total shock magnitude I have?

or what total critical hit chance I have etc.

[mint pivot]

You can view your crit on the skill info drop-down

I'm not sure if it says shock mag though

[proper tartan]

no, it only says critical hit chance

where I have 9% for spark, seems lowish

but I recently switched a lot of gear around

for MoM, EB, and CI

[arctic crag]

shock magnitude isnt calculating correctly in pob2 if that is what you mean?

[proper tartan]

no no, I was just wondering where I can see it for my character? Or how I could calculate the total?

[mint pivot]

Shock base is 20% so you just total your shock magnitude and multiply 20 by that

But afaik you'll have to total it yourself from the tree

[arctic crag]

yea I dont think it showed magnitude in in-game details

I think it showed ailment duration tho

Can you check the Ailments section for your skill (advanced info) and see what it shows?

Idk if pob shock magnitude calc is fixed (it only takes 20 no matter how much you enter in config), I think this was the fix for it if anyone is bored and wants to submit/test #1324861887581651078 message

nvm, someone fixed it, nice https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding-PoE2/commit/da0dad5477e92460ad9c4c0ff25ddac76034b666

[proper tartan]

I don't see anything about ailments for Spark

[arctic crag]

kk just wanted to check if it showed in that section. I think it showed only ailment duration increases you had if you had any.

[proper tartan]

well, I think I'll stay with "Heart of the storm" (40% of elem damage recouped as energy shield) for now, seems to help a bit with my survivability

tbh, shock is more important for rares and bosses I think and I usually don't have issues with those

just with sudden surprise attacks from a firing squad of like 20 crabs from off screen, 😄

[arctic crag]

shock is basically just to do more damage to an enemy so yeah really just for bosses/harder enemies

unless you are doing something with cast on shock and want it to happen often

[dreamy ermine]

Hi, can someone tell me which is better for a Howa build: the Monk Invoker or the Mercenary Legionnaire?

[mint pivot]

Depends on your budget

Monk is easier to build gemling has a higher ceiling

[merry plume]

wow, last week divines are 300 ex, its 420 now

its getting harder and harder to get gears from trade

[willow jewel]

What should i be doing endgame? I can one shot everything in T15 maps but im stuck doing t8-t10 maps because i never get any waystone drops and im all out of paying EX orbs just for a t15 map. EXP is so slow, everythings like 10 levels lower than me and theres no loot even worth picking up. I must be doing endgame completely wrong, what is everyone doing to make the game challenging?

[gritty oar]

You can farm trials for currency, or just farm up lower tier maps for mechanic loot and sell that

Use the currency to pay for pinnacle content

[merry plume]

how do u run out of waystones, just curious

[gritty oar]

I’ve never ran out of them personally

[merry plume]

yeah, i spec my atlas so that i never run out of way stones

heck i have so much i even sell most of them

[gritty oar]

my map loot has been really unlucky tho so I’ve been grinding trials of chaos for some currency

[merry plume]

yeah, same. doing ultimatem nexts me around 60 ex on average jsut by selling the soul cors

[gritty oar]

Sekhema is good too but it just takes longer to do

[merry plume]

preparing and selling exp waystones is fun too

the only gamba im doing

[gritty oar]

I’m too poor to do any fun gambling

[merry plume]

true

[gritty oar]

I need 300 stellar amulets to chance

But koko if u ever wanna grind together lmk ur super chill

[proper tartan]

wow, the price of stellar amulets in exalts has gone WAY up, and exalts vs. divs are worth way less it seems

I wonder what caused this exalt inflation all of a sudden??

just when I got rid of my 1 div 😦

[modern geode]

Me after i come back after 1 week of not playing

Lol

[gritty oar]

imo there’s just not enough ways to spend them

so people have been stockpiling

[proper tartan]

I got most of my gear with exalts!

trading

[modern geode]

It’s fun until
It’s not

I have a video of me chancing 100 sapphire rings and going insane

[gritty oar]

I would be sad if I vaaled a ingenuity and it died

Saving up for one rn at 10/13 div

[quasi shell]

did you spec atlas points? should easily oversustain maps

each boss area drops me like 4 t15s on the boss alone

[novel crow]

until you can either regularly do boss maps, or juice the daylights out of them, sustain can be tricky

[quasi shell]

they did say they are one shotting t15s

[novel crow]

usually when you're very conservative with waystones is when sustain is hard

they need to juice up their maps harder then

[quasi shell]

yeah

[novel crow]

if you can't afford to juice them yet, hit all the boss maps

[quasi shell]

if you can pay for t15s, we can show you how to properly juice them for sustain

this is what i get for reading discord and mapping...

[novel crow]

ouch

weirdly I haven't had a rare divine drop in days

then again I've been running mostly ultimatums and there's no way to juice them

[willow jewel]

every atlas point is into better waystone drops and tier. I upgrade them to rare each time too. every now and then ill get a t12 or t13 but mobs are still like 15 levels below me in them. I genuinely cant find an endgame.

[novel crow]

I floundered for a bit there too, took a while to sustain back up to t15

[quasi shell]

is the waystone drop chance at least 200?

i can show you how i set up mine and do a map to show you

[bleak jackal]

can the trial of chaos brick on the soul cores room? i can't find any of the 3 soul cores..

[willow jewel]

Yeah they are roughly around that. But even when i buy a t15 map - everythings so low level and weak. Im only level 86 too. Is there no content above level 80 or something?

[bleak jackal]

also if i log out and go back in can i still go back into it? or if i go to town and back?

[quasi shell]

there are definitely ways to make it harder, completing all atlas points for more rewarding/difficult league encounters, tablets, delerium, only using high waystone% dropchance t16s etc

[balmy surge]

what should i be doing at level 65?

[quasi shell]

mapping if you can

[balmy surge]

do i just start with t1?

[quasi shell]

generally speaking, but you can do other things

[quasi shell]

if its your first character yes, but you should go as high as you can do/afford

actually i take that back, dont go too high even if yhou can do it, because there is an experience penalty if you kill monsters that are much higher level than you

[balmy surge]

ok

[quasi shell]

i usually go no more than 4 levels higher than me, your exp will fly. then more map tier up if you can handle it

[balmy surge]

alr got itii

[viral sorrel]

any1 know exactly how hard this is?

[novel crow]

very

[quasi shell]

kinda difficult, more difficult than a t15 usually

[novel crow]

it's harder than the base pinnacle boss fights

[quasi shell]

just depends on your build

[viral sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/rip-coffin-black-ghana-celebrating-gif-16743302

ok guess i aint doing that sht

[novel crow]

it's good value to sell

[viral sorrel]

ok next question how can i get more points on here cus ive been doing t16 maps boss lvl is 81 but i still dont get more points while i am solo

[novel crow]

you need to fight bosses at t17 and then t18

[viral sorrel]

how do i do that? arent t16 the highest maps?

[novel crow]

no

you can get corrupted waystones that are t16, then on the map you can get irradiation +1 level, and corruption which is another +1

the red squiggly lines

[proper tartan]

What monster lvl are tier 18 maps then?

[novel crow]

82

[proper tartan]

ah

so unfair that monsters gain more per lvl than players 😉

[novel crow]

yeah but they don't get to be lv100 :P

not that many of us do anyway

I gave up my levelling drive at 98, it's excruciating beyond that and I just want to play and not worry incessantly about dying

[merry plume]

like this + t16 map

[novel crow]

yes^^^

[blazing bronze]

Is it true that omens only really show in rituals on lvl 80 maps

[vale grail]

How difficulkt is arbiter of ash?

[proper hazel]

depends on your build really, pretty easy if you have high dps as you can skip most/all mechanics

[idle hazel]

Depends on your damage and movement speed, really. If you have high movement speed, most mechanics are manageable, and if you have high damage, you don't even need to do them.

[mint pivot]

he's hard if you have to fight him

[vale grail]

If I can clear a semi good boss on a T15, would damage on him be enough?

[novel crow]

no

I mean it is, but it'll be a fight

[vale grail]

damn

[novel crow]

if you can almost one shot the bosses he'll be easy

[mint pivot]

you get 6 tries

[proper hazel]

you could likely do it but you would have to learn the mechanics and it would prob be a fairly lengthy fight

[novel crow]

it's always worth youtubing the fight to learn the mechanics

[modern geode]

I gave up at 92

[novel crow]

some things aren't obvious if you get stuck in the mechanic phase

[vale grail]

oh nice, if I get 6 tries not the end of the world, assume I can leave and come back?

[modern geode]

I reached 96 but didn’t even think about ir

[mint pivot]

for a bit

but the instance will reset after enough time

you can't like save the tries for later

[vital hazel]

emailed support like 5 days ago and still nothing do they typically take this long

literally cant play the game at all

[compact acorn]

we made it gents

[novel crow]

What's the best charm for simulacrum?

I default to stone charm, but is there an ailment that's common there?

[modern geode]

1 of the bosses freeze often

But stone is probably more useful overall if you can’t keep mobs

[novel crow]

great ty

[balmy surge]

i have howa and pillar, what other armor should i get?

[vague pike]

Morior

If you are att stacker gemlin

[balmy surge]

yea i am, what min attributes should i be looking for

[vague pike]

5% to all attributes per soul core

[novel crow]

incredible, I survived sim t0

[balmy surge]

so something like this?

[vague pike]

How many sockets does it have?

[balmy surge]

4

[vague pike]

Get a 5 one

Also I said 5% 😄

Thats 4.

[balmy surge]

is there a filter for that?

[vague pike]

Yes

[balmy surge]

whats it called

[vague pike]

Add stat filter and then "increased att..."

[balmy surge]

no for the socket

[vague pike]

In that section

[balmy surge]

and how did you get to that menu?

[vague pike]

Click show filters?

[balmy surge]

yea I did buy my menu isnt looking like urs

[vague pike]

Where are you doing this?

[balmy surge]

path of exile 2 trade website

[balmy surge]

mine looks like this

[vague pike]

This is the default website

[balmy surge]

mine isnt as big

[vague pike]

Sigh 😄

You havent ticked off anything thats why

[balmy surge]

ahhhhhhh

which one do i tick?

[vague pike]

Experiement : D

There is only 5 things you can tick off

[idle hazel]

But also, you can check the screenshots provided above and see which category the 'Rune Sockets' line is present in.

[balmy surge]

ok thanks sorry for giving you a hard time was just confused

[vague pike]

You are not ❤️ Its tough love you'll appreciate it later on

[idle hazel]

Note, normally I'd just give the answer, but I think it's important to look around yourself in this game (and trade site). Especially with the nested tooltips and keywords, there's a lot of info available a click away that will save you a lot of time going forward, as long as you remember to look for it.

[misty flower]

hey so i heve run more than 9 t15s and i think i am doing something wrong cuz im not getting profit or usefull items can someone help me i am new to the game?

[vague pike]

Are you juicing the maps? Or just running random maps.

You want to look for Quanity -> More Rare Mobs -> Rarity on prefixes.

You also want to use towers to drop tablets with Quantity

[misty flower]

i dont know what that means i just have rare maps and i use them randomly

[vague pike]

Search on YouTube. How to craft / run maps in PoE2.

Lots of good guides.

[misty flower]

k

[vague pike]

You also want rarity on your own gear

100-200% should be fine.

[young hazel]

Are they gonna nerf temproalis autobomber before reset?

[idle hazel]

Before the next major patch, no. They've said that they'll be doing most balance changes alongside large updates such as 0.2.

[undone merlin]

does zone of control nodes increased area of effect on curses also apply to the curses in blasphemy increasing the aura distance?

[undone merlin]

i believe 150 is cap

[vague pike]

150 is not cap

You can do rarity up to 700+

You just get diminishing returns the higher you go

[undone merlin]

oh ok

[balmy surge]

what are some good boots for gemling

[mint pivot]

stat stacker?

[balmy surge]

yea

[mint pivot]

just rare boots with as many resists as you can get

life/mana

[balmy surge]

ok

[mint pivot]

if ur tempest flurry you don't care about movespeed really

[vague pike]

Get some with INT on

And 2 res

[proper tartan]

This looks really good for someone who wants to run with others?

(non casters at least?)

[mint pivot]

needs spirit

[proper tartan]

hmm

[vague pike]

And +X levels to minions

[mint pivot]

most party play doesn't actually care about buffing their party's damage, at least not with a sceptre

[proper tartan]

ok

[mint pivot]

your only buyer is going to be actual minion builds

[proper tartan]

I'll sell it then

[mint pivot]

which need spirit and levels

[proper tartan]

ok, never played that class, thanks!

[tender thorn]

so if a skill says nothing for it's quality boost does it just not exist yet?

[idle hazel]

If there's nothing at all, then probably not. Make sure to check all of the tabs for the skill, if it has more than one, sometimes the effect is only present on one of the tabs.

[proper tartan]

and make sure you press Alt (I forgot that once)

btw: is there such a thing to "trade down" waystones? e.g. I have a Tier 15 waystone, but I would trade it in for a bunch of Tier 13/14 even a 12?

[vague pike]

You'd have to go onto TFT discord and start some weird trade request.

There isnt a mechanic ingame that allows you to downgrade

[proper tartan]

yeah

I looked it up on the trade site, incredible how expensive tier 15 wp can be

so for now I just listed it

[silent pond]

Steppe gives so much waystones. And that's just from circling the edges of the map.

[runic wolf]

Just to confirm if I understand this correctly, shock will apply twice if use two different skill that can shock. So it means that the %increase damage on enemy will also double?

[mint pivot]

in effect, yes

[amber helm]

you dont need to use two different skills

you can just use one skill twice

[runic wolf]

Wow. Great. So spamming spark will constantly trigger this on bosses? (Given I have high % shock chance)

[amber helm]

yeah

[mint pivot]

wrong game

[swift atlas]

sorry

[mint pivot]

I'm playing that same build though :)

[waxen rock]

Accidentally dropped my main weapon in a map and lost it

Gonna crash out

[vague pike]

https://tenor.com/view/ocean-park-roy-rooster-chicken-chiken-gif-18023830420710704499

Can you have 2 currency tabs?

Whats the max amount you can stack down here?

In this tab

[amber helm]

5000

[vague pike]

Cause I ran out of space in the exalt tab

Its 5000 up there also

[amber helm]

you can get multiple sure

[vague pike]

Not sure I want to convert to Div.

Unless they keep going up

[proper tartan]

I think my favorite maps are water maps

just strolling along the beach... sparking everything out of side...

[vague pike]

You cant say that :d

All maps can be a water map no?

[finite sequoia]

I just tried this and it didn't work. I put a waystone in, activated it, entered the map, left, put another waystone in another map, and the first map is still a blue icon.

[proper tartan]

well, I don't know the perfect nomenclature, but I mean the ones where it's at the shore/beach

[dusky star]

...and when you hover it does it say "map attempted"?

and when you apply a tablet to a nearby tower, is it applied to that map?

you don't have to enter the map

[finite sequoia]

It does say map attempted, yeah, but shouldn't it be red? As shown on the map legend

[vague pike]

It can say failed after youve completed it successfully still

[dusky star]

you can't fail normal maps

I told you that earlier

you can fail citadels and maybe some other shit?

[vague pike]

Ofc you can fail a normal map. You die, you lose the baked in nodes and you can either ignore the empty node or clear it with a trash map for pathing :d

[finite sequoia]

You said citadels perma-fail, but I assumed regular maps are non-perma-fail (i.e., still red). Sorry I misunderstood

[dusky star]

you can't fail it and make it red (so you can't path through it), Viegaard

the very thing he highlighted in the screenshot...

[vague pike]

You sound so passive-aggressive when you use my name like that :<

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-24426826

[finite sequoia]

For greater clarity, though: the blue icon "map attempted" will still not get precursor league mechanics applied to it, right?

[dusky star]

any map you've attempted has its stuff cleared and never gets hit by tablets

[finite sequoia]

Got it, sorry again for being confused

[finite sequoia]

If you're short on t16 maps, what's the best way you can use them? Ritual (because of certain omen drop rate ilvl requirements)? I just got my first one ever and I'm not sure what to use it on

[vague pike]

A T16 map on itself isnt all that great.

If it doesnt have good prefixes

Quant > Rare Mobs % > Rarity

[finite sequoia]

Of course, but that's true of all maps. I'm wondering what aspects of mapping a higher ilvl is specifically good for (like ritual)

[vague pike]

Breaches. :<

[finite sequoia]

What drops at ilvl 80 breaches but not 79?

[vague pike]

I assume the same as all other maps. Higher rarity drops

[proper tartan]

sorry

[novel crow]

Would casting spells with archmage running count as using a lightning skill?

[junior hornet]

archmage is not a skill

[mint pivot]

it is a skill

it just doesn't get used

[junior hornet]

I mean it's categorized as a buff or something

[mint pivot]

yeah but afaik it's still a skill as far as poe2 is concerned

like if you had something that upped your skill levels or lightning skill levels generically it would benefit

[junior hornet]

yeah I mistaken it with "spell"

[novel crow]

thanks

it's a persistent lightning spell

[solar atlas]

is there a passive where u can increase the ammount healed from "time of need" buff?

[dull plank]

no

iirc it scales with level

[hollow ice]

just out of curiosity, what do you guys farm to make bank?

[quasi shell]

sekhemas

[mint pivot]

only way to improve time of need is skill levels and lower skill duration

[calm bane]

#does chaos inoculation grant immunity to the 1-shot chaos orb of the mist king?

[amber helm]

if that hit only deals chaos damage, then sure

im not sure if it does though

[jaunty void]

Do you guys have a good guide for endgame minion builds?

[gaunt scaffold]

Hey guys, how good is the PoB for minions?

[balmy surge]

whats best atlas tree

[rancid tiger]

You may could check this one out https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/ruse-minions

[rancid tiger]

Really this is up to you and what you're looking to get out of mapping, you can look some atlas trees up on google and see if any interest you.

[merry plume]

another day another price hike for divines

[misty meadow]

Can anyone please explain how does this work? I am looking at stats and it doesn't actually give me points for any of the stats.

[jaunty void]

Can I dm u I have a couple question

[rancid tiger]

For sure!

[rancid tiger]

What jewel is that?

[junior hornet]

heroic tragedy?

if so it does nothing to stats

[rancid tiger]

@junior hornet Go eat your chocolates

[junior hornet]

I ate them all I'm shaking rn

Yeah dogs=no chocolates

[small rune]

is there breakpoints for league mechs in terms of level

I think ritual audience was min lvl 80?

is there any other breakpoints that makes 30% chance to corrupt in boss tree worth

[mint pivot]

It's worth it just because the other choices are bad tbh

[left wagon]

Can anyone help me maping?

[full oracle]

cleared a hideout but i cant go to it why

[junior hornet]

do you see the hideout icon on the right side of the map? or talk to Alva to select hideout

[full oracle]

i didnt select it thats the problem prob thanks

[zinc flame]

can someone tell me how can i get spirit in Mask of the Stitched Demon Feathered Tiara

[novel crow]

lucky vaal corruption

[zinc flame]

?

[novel crow]

you hit it with a vaal orb and pray it gets that corrupt enchantment

it's like a 1 in 100 chance

[zinc flame]

I only have 3 vaal orb

[novel crow]

You won't get it

here's the summary of possible corruptions for it

that's in addition to it potentially doing nothing, or altering the implicit mods only

and you have to start with an uncorrupted one

[zinc flame]

😭

[novel crow]

It's at best a one in 13 chance I count, probably lower

the best way to get one like that is to buy one

either that or buy 20 uncorrupted ones and vaal them

so you can see why they charge more for one with the desirable spirit enchant

there's also no guarantee of how much spirit you'll get, could be a bad roll of +20

[merry plume]

how do i get this? only from drops? i cant do anything to modify it?

[novel crow]

I've never seen ultimatums with affixes in poe2

[merry plume]

oo

[novel crow]

are you reading poe1 data?

[merry plume]

i got it from poe2 wiki

[novel crow]

ok weird I'd love to see affixes on ultimatums but I've never seen any and I've done a couple of hundred trials

[merry plume]

i see i see

[novel crow]

you can't hit them with currency of any sort

[merry plume]

yeah

[potent ember]

what level does the 3rd ascendancy opens up?
