[quasi shell]

i think you just want to hit the 100 breakpoints, so 100, 200, etc

if you are going for 4 floor completion that is

[candid escarp]

right but like... how much merchant reduction then to get the break point for relic quantity with the rest of the space

[quasi shell]

well it depends how good of a relic you can afford

the quantity goes up to 20%

you can get a cheap stup with 6 relics or get all 20% and only 5 so you get maximum room for other relics

[candid escarp]

18% is cheap

[quasi shell]

yeah anything under 20 is kinda cheap since any combination involving less than 20 means you need 6 relics

[candid escarp]

i can use 6 relics if i only use 2 merchant reduction ones

[quasi shell]

i dont believe i use any and i can buy up all merchant stuff usually, i get increased water

[grim basin]

whatt? 16/15 simu round?

[quasi shell]

nothing happens if you click it

[grim basin]

right

[novel crow]

lol

[mellow blade]

I feel defeated by Poe 2

[waxen fossil]

is there a way i can equip two of the same skills at the same time but with different gems on them

[arctic crag]

Yes, jut need to copies and you can bind to two different buttons

[waxen fossil]

when i try using a skill gem to get the 2nd one it says im already using it

nvm got it ty

[merry plume]

o shit

didnt know merchant price and more merchant item is valueble

i reforged many of them

this is what im currently working on

[arctic crag]

your goal is to simply try and get "enchanted urn" boon. With these price, additional options mods you'll get it 100% of the time.

Everything is cheap - you see more options - you buy out as much as possible to try and force enchanted urn before Zarokh.

Most of the time I used to end up buying all minor boons by end of 3rd or early 4th and then nothing really matters after that.

[merry plume]

okok

sounds like a plan

[candid escarp]

i've got this now

a couple hundred ex to get this, not too bad

[hardy sierra]

anyone has a good atlas tree for waystones sustain? i cant seems to get enough t14/15 always running out
the one i had i slammed till +3 exalts on it but sometimes get a 15 but often 12 or lower :S

[dusty widget]

Is there any point to picking up >lvl15 maps when I already finished the quest and can do 15?

[slender brook]

You can turn t14s to t15s, personally I just pick up t15s, so easy to sustain them for me

[solar gazelle]

With this notable. Does that mean when I apply evasion it gets 100% more evasion. Or if I apply armour it gets 100% of the armour as Evasion extra?

I don’t know if I’m calling armour in general the chest plate. Or if I’m supposed to only think of the stat called Armour

[idle hazel]

Equipped Body Armour, as in the chestplate

[solar gazelle]

So not the stat, armour? That is what confused me. I need to probably refund and check that stat when it gets applied to see if it does as I expect

[idle hazel]

It has nothing to do with the Armour stat. If it did, it would have wording like this (but flipped):

Or alternatively, this:

[solar gazelle]

Ok. Thanks for the help

[hollow anvil]

do you know guy how to get rid of this ?

[idle hazel]

You can drop it in any zone that isn't town or hideout.

[chilly wadi]

you cannot drop the green ones (these are the first trials so u can unlock your ascendancy). You have to either put it in the reforging thing or u could just make the trial start and exit out from it

[hollow anvil]

i managed to drop it i a random map. maybe because i have already finished ascendancy.

[chilly wadi]

oh

idk if its an update thing but earlier. I myself have made 4 characters and I was never able to drop it

[candid escarp]

i just ran it anyways lol its a free core to sell

[chilly wadi]

idk why but weird uniques have been dropping for me lately that I havent seen before

maybe its just a me thing that I dont know

[idle hazel]

You've always been able to drop it, even dating back to PoE1.

[hazy canyon]

I'm trying to understand the map device mechanics. For solo play, a map is lost upon death regardless of how many portals had remained (wtf?). Can someone explain how this translates to group play? For example let's say two players are grouped and enter a map. What happens if the host dies, but other player completes the map (who gets map completion on the atlas)? What happens if the other player dies while the host is alive (can they re-enter the map via another portal)?

[hollow anvil]

no if you die,you can't complete the map. even if you are the host and even if a friend finish the map. and whenever you die in solo or multi you cannot reenter.

[slender brook]

You sure? Before I used to progress my quest like that, sometimes when I died my friend could finish map and I got progress

[hollow anvil]

really ? recently ? might they change that ?

[slender brook]

Maybe they changed it

Idk, I did the quest long time ago, it was possible in january as far as I remember

Can't really tell if it's possible now, atlas is the same for all characters

[undone merlin]

got a handful of baryas im giving away for 1 ex cuz dont feel like going to trouble to sell. ign who wants?

[hazy canyon]

I don't think that's called giving away :D

[undone merlin]

its like 30. all for 1 ex. basicaly giving away

[idle hazel]

Also, no giveaways, as per rule 6.

[undone merlin]

oh fuck

trash it is

god this feels wasteful. but cloggin my space

where can i give these to somebody? dont wanna just throw them away

thanks

this horse shit though. gotta either waste these o rspend 20 minutes tryin to find a place im allowed to donate. didnt thhink itd be hard to dispose of them. thought thisd take2 minutes.

[undone merlin]

you know i dont think that giveaways mentioned in the rules actually applies here to begin with . believe thats talking about raffles and the like. could be wrong

but remembered some guy helped me ascend by doing the trails is friended. gonna wait till hes on give them to him

[main egret]

How does item quality work? I know i can add it, but what does it change and when should it be done?

[distant badge]

For clarity, as this can be very misleading, this node does not double the total evasion you see on a chest piece.

It adds 100% of the evasion rating of the item, before increased modifiers.
Note how on chest pieces theres a modifier - affix, for +# to evasion rating, and, another modifier for +#% Increased evasion rating.
This +#% Increased evasion modifier is a local modifier on the item.

The Bestial Skin talent node, ignores the +#% increased modifier, and doubles the pre-modified value, which then gets modified by your global modifiers, but not by the local modifier on the item itself.

For instance,
If you have a Coat that provides 450 base evasion rating on the item, with a modifier for + 150 evasion rating, and +100% increased evasion rating, It will show a total value on the item of 1200 evasion, before runes and quality.
With this talent node, you are only gaining 600 evasion rating, not an additional 1200.
So, when looking for items with high evasion, it is typically best to look for a high +# to evasion rating flat added value, rather than a high % local modifier.

[distant badge]

Item quality varies slightly between different items.

For Martial weapons, The Wetstone item quality adds specifically 20% more physical damage
Meaning, if the weapon does 100 physical dps, it will do 120 dps after being qualitied.
Likewise, if the weapon does 10 physical dps, and 90 elemental dps, it will do 102 dps after being qualitied.

Armour on the other hand, gains a 20% more value to the defensive stats listed on the item.
i.e evasion, armour, or energy shield.

And Jewelry, using Catalysts, is an entirely different type of quality enhancement.

For a breakdown on how Catalysts work regarding Ring and Amulet quality, see:
#1336220412660678666 message

[main egret]

Does it affect wands in any way

[idle hazel]

Yes, it increases the quality of the implicit Spell on both Wands and Staves.

[distant badge]

Arcanist Etcher provides quality to wands yes :D
This specifically affects the quality of the Item-Specific spell that the item grants you.

You can hold down the ALT button on the spell in your skills tab to see what quality will do for that skill.
Or if you are on controller, L3 (left analogue press down)

[main egret]

Okay that makes sense, thank you

[lethal summit]

are wands and focus partial to specific elements?

for example, an antler focus will only be able to have cold damage?

[solar gazelle]

Thank you for this. I couldn’t work out why my evasion was going down between two bits of body armour. One had a higher total and the other had higher % increase. Now I know and compared again it makes sense

[vague valve]

whats the best way to farm currency if i'm broke but don't struggle with any content

been farming the trials of chaos a bunch but surely there's more profitable things to do

[idle hazel]

I don't believe there's anything like that on Foci, but Wands and Staves are more limited in their affixes. You can check the specifics on poe2db for each base type (so you can check the Focus bit too).

[untold isle]

So for the firrst time I finished campaign with Gas Grenade Deadeye Leveling Guide
As far as I understood it's time to transition to Endgame build, right?
And which one makes most sense for this? I've checked Explosive Shot Deadeye Build Guide, but it basically requires to rework whole passive tree

I would expect it to be mentioned at the end of the guide... But unfortunately -
Congratulations on finishing the Gas Grenade Deadeye Leveling Guide! You beat the campaign and want to know how to further upgrade this build? Stay tuned for the Endgame version of the build that will be released soon!

[viscid sage]

https://game8.co/games/Path-of-Exile-2/archives/490449

Maybe this can help u

[solar gazelle]

How do I get more Spirit? Am i just hoping for good drops?

[fathom veldt]

you buy them

[solar gazelle]

On the trade website?

My build needs 120 and I have 75. I feel underpowered and I think that is why a lot of the time as my stuff isnt triggering

[frigid lantern]

get an amulet with +40 and chest piece with +30 and prolly get a jewel and socket woth spirit:)

[dusky star]

if you have 75 then you've missed something in campaign

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Spirit#Quest_Items

[viscid sage]

How much do you have through stuff ?

[dusky star]

you get 100 from the campaign alone

[solar gazelle]

I have missed some then. As I have it all through campaign. Been unlucky with drops

I think actually looking, I beat the Bog witch twice. I assume I can king of the mists from act 1.

[tired robin]

Am I supposed to do something other than maps in endgame? I have just been climbing the tiers, wonder if theres anything else I should focus on

[slender brook]

Pinnacle bosses but could be too early for you

[proper tartan]

hmm, I'm not sure if I should give up on my gemling

it does a lot of money fast, but then I suddenly get one-shot by a boss out of the blue

in theory, this build in the end will use "Mind over Matter", but I'm not sure if that will fix it

it's basically always: I have to kill every enemy before it tries to kill me 😄

[charred wind]

Hey guys I’m 52 and just starting cruel…I need some help with a few accessions and have some way stones. It would be cool if someone helped me and kind of showed me the ropes how to do this stuff

[viscid sage]

I feel like its the playstyle

[viscid sage]

You have : 30 base + 10 + 30 + 30 in story iirc (30 are in Act 3 - Freythorn and Act 3 Cruel - Freythorn)

Btw you can get only Spirit in body armour and amulet (besides unique & corruption)

[finite sequoia]

Is it normal to get only 5-15 breach splinters per breach, depending on how good the breach location is?

[slender brook]

How much life, es?

[viscid sage]

From the beginning yeah

[proper tartan]

I can't look it up right now, but almost no ES and like 2500 life or something

eventually I wante to get MoM

[slender brook]

Then why do you complain about deaths?

[proper tartan]

lol, yeah, maybe it's a given

[slender brook]

I had 3k HP, 5,5k es without mom and couldn't die

[proper tartan]

at what lvl?

[slender brook]

Was running no evasion at all, just a lil from morior

95

Could do anything with it

[proper tartan]

I'm lik 86

[slender brook]

Was fast, dealt a lot of dmg

Could do most of the content ig

[proper tartan]

maybe I should go away from evasion and mana for MoM later etc. and put it for now into max life and ES

[slender brook]

I had atziris helemt (gave a lot es), boots with 250 es, howa and morior chest

Jewels with maximum to energy shield and crit chance or crit DMG bonus

[proper tartan]

I have the morrior chest

man, I invested so much into rings yesterday... lol

hopefully I can sell them for a profit

[slender brook]

Oh and I had amulet with 40% maximum to energy shield

[proper tartan]

hmm

I have to completely redo this char 😄

[slender brook]

Show me what you got

[proper tartan]

I'm at work right now, so I can't

[slender brook]

I mean you don't have to go energy shield at all but it's nice

Np, show when available

[proper tartan]

probably can take a break in an hour or so max

[slender brook]

I'm assuming you don't use atziris golden circlet or something like that (a helmet)

[proper tartan]

no

[lofty horizon]

Is there anywhere you can use for a price check so I don’t have to keep looking on trade website and copying skills

[proper tartan]

I used some buld for attribute stacker and used that

[proper tartan]

there is a tool called "sidekick" I use sometimes

[lofty horizon]

Is that a website I assume

[proper tartan]

but in my experience, it sometimes might cause crashes

no, it runs in the background

you can do CTRL+d over an item and see some comparisons

[slender brook]

Well everyone goes with fubguns guide ig, pretty solid build, few variations

I mean almost everyone

[proper tartan]

yeah, I just don't have unlimited divs

and some of the stuff would require hundreds of diffs, like astramentis amulet

[slender brook]

I didn't run astra tho

[lofty horizon]

How do I add it to the game

[slender brook]

You can gradually upgrade

[proper tartan]

you just start it

[slender brook]

If you're on console then you dont ig

[proper tartan]

oh, on console, I don't know, I'm on PC

I hate how they port it to xbox, ps5, PC, but not for Linux... my brother is on Linux and we can't play it

I know there are emulators etc., but he's not willing to try those

[viscid sage]

@lofty horizon Nothing for us yet

[undone merlin]

any idea where i should go to farm a lvl 8 spirit gem? have several of every other lvl but none of 8

[proper tartan]

I have a few minutes now

[viscid sage]

Not up for at least 20 minutes. Try to find a loot table on internet it might exist

[proper tartan]

I can show you some screen shots in DM

[slender brook]

Do it

[undone merlin]

k thanks ill look for lot table . confused why you saying Not up for at least 20 minutes.though

youtube told me dreadknought. found gem after 2 minutes. yay

[proud gorge]

I see people in the looking for group area frequently listing their server. What is the relavance of your server?

[distant badge]

💪 💪

[distant badge]

If you join that person's party, you switch to that server, and this can cause high ping.

[distant badge]

Best farm is Dreadnaught in the end of Act 2

[viscid sage]

Driving to home took me 20 min ^^'

[viscid sage]

Gtz !

[long turret]

What's the thing that causes the elemental landmines that explode and one shot people?

[proud gorge]

Ah, that makes sense. Since I've only traded with people rather than playing, I never noticed the silent server change in the background. Do you switch back to your preferred server after the party ends?

or do you stay on that server. In which case it is worth paying attention to lag after selling/buying stuff and maybe exit and rejoin your nearby server

[dusky star]

you swap back auto

[distant badge]

Lol mbad, already answered.

[undone merlin]

thanks yallz

withered wands chaos bolt isnt dot is i?

[finite sequoia]

What determines how many monsters spawn on a ritual altar when you interact with it?

[arctic crag]

It seems like its different in poe2. I just had this basic understanding, you kill monsters that are pre spawned near it > the blood goes into the altar and then those monters show up, Cumulatively for each altar. But I am trying it in poe1 now and it is more intuitive, like even map bosses can show up if they originally spawned near an altar. I've never had that happen in poe2.

[dusky star]

how many monsters you killed around it (and previous altars)

[finite sequoia]

So, will herding nearby mobs into the ritual circle increase the tribute I get? Or is it only the pre-spawned ones that count, like Zed said?

[arctic crag]

doesnt work

you can see the blood on the floor moving into the altar when you kill some monsters, only those show up

This may not be time efficient but you can kill all monsters around all altars without starting a ritual and then come start them all. I tried this in poe1 just to see, the boss got added to ritual so I got a boss in every single altar, was nice.

[finite sequoia]

Hmm, I'll try that and see if it makes a difference

[arctic crag]

It wouldnt be very time efficient though, you could just do it normally and keep doing more maps

If the altars are near each other or maybe near checkpoints then sure you can kill all and then start the rituals

[dusty widget]

Why is it white? ._.

[viscid sage]

Its your filter

[dusty widget]

Yes but, what does the white mean? Usual uniques are orange

The only other item that was white was a div

[viscid sage]

Maybe because it is socketed ?

Or highly valued ?

This bow with a good roll sells for high price iirc

This is the bow that increases Quier bonuses as far as I remember

[dusky star]

yeah because it's widowhail

it's not worth much though, but neversink's filters have not been updated for months

[dusty widget]

Ah, shame then

ty tho

[viscid sage]

It needs a pretty damn high corrupted roll to be worth stg i guess ?

[dusky star]

you can socket it fully and corrupt it for a gamble

[dusty widget]

Will try, thanks

[viscid sage]

Btw is there an overview of the worth to sell Uniques atm ?

[dusty widget]

I legit have no idea if this is any good

[dapper mesa]

You want the corruption to increase the %increased bonus from quiver over the normal cap. So sadly yours isn’t any good

[viscid sage]

Trash

[dusty widget]

Yeah I figured

[viscid sage]

Max roll is 300% and with corrupt it might go even higher

This is what you aim for

I guess price dropped a lot because the class is popular thus this bow was "farmed"

At first demand was higher than offer

We might be in the opposite now ; so only very high roll will value (my opinion)

[dusty widget]

Sold it for 30, story has a happy ending

[viscid sage]

30 exalted still Nice yeah

Seems I like Nice (city) more than saying just "nice"

[dusty widget]

Ok, another thing: I followed this guide: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/yxd720nn And it specified a bombard crossbow - even though it barely used grenades. Anybody know the reason? Are there other qualities I don't know about?

[viscid sage]

Filter I used prefer Varnished Crossbow

Like... it was the only Crossbow the filter showed me

But now I filter any Expert item... I need money 🤣

[glass forge]

if i want to help my mate for xp should i enable to downscale? or no +t15 maps

[viscid sage]

I have been PL'd in T15 so it is ok ig

[undone merlin]

are there any chaos spells that work well in barrier invocation? been using comet but its really pretty shit with no cold damage nodes taken so hoping i missed something

wiki no help this time

[proud gorge]

A little confused about the passives you get from kill the Arbiter. The Altas has its own little section for the Arbiter, but then I've also heard killing him is how you get the last points from the boss section.

Is it something like, kill the Arbiter and you get your first 2 points on the Arbiter section. If you kill him while you have 8 points set in the Map Boss then you also get the last 2 points for the Boss section?

Or is it more like you first have to finish the boss section by killing him with 8 points committed, and then you can start working on the arbiter section when you have all 10 points in the boss section committed?

[wise relic]

Can someone explain what mechanic this was that caused my death? Thx!
https://outplayed.tv/path-of-exile-2/jy5XYe

[merry plume]

were u lagging

[wise relic]

didnt feel like it dont think so

[merry plume]

maybe its not fixed completely yet

i say send it to the team as bug report, see how it goes

[wise relic]

okay ty

[merry plume]

is this ur buff or a debuff

u got hit as soon as this showed up

[outer wyvern]

which is better

[merry plume]

so apparently u got full broken armour

mayb u got done in by this? no idea if zarokh can use it tho

[merry plume]

so u got hit by this skill, not sure how it got u tho

https://poe2db.tw/us/Zarokh%2C_the_Temporal#ZarokhtheTemporalSilentSpiresApparition

my guess is u went back into this too early and got hit by it

the circle clock thingy

haha. the zarokh touch does 5.6m dmg at minimum. hahahahaha

[lethal summit]

what am i gonna do when this fills up? 😟

[merry plume]

sell it

or use it

[lethal summit]

is it worth spending the time to use them?

[merry plume]

yes

[lethal summit]

both of them?

[merry plume]

yes

search adorned and last flame, and desperate alliance

its how u get temporalis (last flame) and other end game stuff, that are quite widely used

[lethal summit]

fixed price?

[merry plume]

or u could sell it. its 5ex each when i last check, i mean the trial keys

[lethal summit]

hmm

so it's like 4 div in that tab

[merry plume]

needs to be lv 80 tho

[lethal summit]

hmmm

prob most of them are

why lv 80?

[merry plume]

some rewards are only available at 80 if im not mistaken

[lethal summit]

why is this a good thing?»

[merry plume]

headhunter

[idle hazel]

It also increases the rarity and quantity of that monster's loot.

[lethal summit]

gotcha!

[idle hazel]

So, if you wanted the best shot at finding valuable currency, Tier 5 items, or anything that would be affected by Item Rarity and Item Quantity, having more modifiers on rare enemies is good, and if you can easily kill rares with your build, then it might as well be a free bonus.

[lethal summit]

i suppose deadly evolution works similarly?

[idle hazel]

Correct.

[lethal summit]

perfect, tyvm

maybe you also clarify the following for me

i heard player rarity and map rarity are multiplicative?

for instance, map rarity 200% and player rarity 200%, I have 400%?

[fleet rivet]

i assume mana regen venom draught for blood mage temporalis autobomber?

[proud gorge]

When I killed a my first level 81 boss, it didn't give me a Tomb of Knowledge because I hadn't allocated all my Altas Passive Boss points. In order to get the Tomb of Knowledge 5, does that mean I similarly must kill the Arbiter with all those "+1 boss level" passive points selected?

Don't want to unnecessarily risk dieing by making him stronger if I don't have to. But also don't want to make the same error I did on that level 81 boss.

[void ruin]

It says my teammates map portal is locked and I can’t go in. Why?

[faint flame]

just figured out you can increase gems quality, what is its max ? 20 ?

[viral blaze]

any suggestions for amulet annointment for infernal
cheap :p

[lucid flax]

Anyone have a list for the best tablet modifiers that you can sell for ex im struggling rn on ex lmfao

[novel crow]

ritual tablets are worth the most

the more rituals the better

increased waystones also sell for a bit more because they boost citadels

[lucid flax]

Gotcha gotcha thanks

All I've been getting are + levels to monsters and bosses

[worn lynx]

Bosses are great if you dont have 10/10 atlas passive

oh, selling. Yeah, ritual by far

[grizzled spear]

has warrior shield wall been nerfed.. im trying the synergy with HOTG and shield wall with trampletoes but its like its not hitting the boss and does no damage?

[amber helm]

nothing has been changed recently

[grizzled spear]

hmm everytime i use HOTG with shield wall it does 0 dmg to any boss its like its not hitting

[grim basin]

Anyone has encountered a bug where the ToC npc doesn't grant 4th ascendancy to my invoker (previously I teleported before the npc in the last room) ? What can I do...

I finished 4 ToC after this but the npc stop giving me my last 2 ascendancy points 🥺

[viral stratus]

you left the instance? might have to redo it. if you don't claim the ascendency after killing the boss, then leave, you can't claim it when you go back into the instance

[solar gazelle]

With all the help yesterday managed to finish my first couple of maps. It’s definitely a build check isn’t it.

[viral stratus]

game has dps walls, if you dont do enough dps to kill mobs, it's nearly impossible to win. or you end up kiting around mobs a really long time and it takes forever to clear a map

[zenith sigil]

the whole game is a build check :)

the check just gets stricter and stricter as you progress

[grim basin]

Redo 4 ToC after that, npc never gave me ascendancy points anymore.

[viral stratus]

i'm not sure, never failed to get the points

[distant badge]

I strongly recommend looking up a POB2 from the community, on a laptop or PC, and entering your build into it - right now its gotta be manually done which can be tedious, but it dramatically improves your quality of life. Soon we will have the API for character importing - making the process way easier.

With a POB set up, you can share your skill setups, items, passive tree and more, in one link, allowing theorycrafters or veteran players to point out improvements in the appropriate class churches or in #1308715058716610580
More importantly, using POB, you can also find better talents based on your current equipment and skills loaded in, using its feature for power-per-point gained, where it calcultes the next few points allocatable from your current tree into any direction, and highlights them for you.

[solar gazelle]

Thanks for this. Will have a look today.

[keen snow]

Who try to play on storweawer with combat staff?

No, now I play Stormweaver with Pillar of the Caged God

Does anyone have a stone citadel they are trying to run? I have 306 hours between 2 characters and haven’t found a single one. I’m stuck running 15s

haaha im having the same issue with Iron,

I have a stone citadel perched between 3 towers that I am gunna juice up tonight and try to grab 4 fragments with, ur welcome to tag along if you still need it in,, uhh,, 5 hours?

[distant badge]

Try referring to #2┃build-planning for this topic

[viscid sage]

Play low level map just to rush through atlas

Take any tower u find to defog

But at first did you do the 1st part of the quest ?

I have 3 irons on my map

Yes I did but I can’t find the stone one

[finite sequoia]

For the Untainted Paradise map, as a level 94, is it better to use a mediocre tier 16 map, or a good t15 (pack size, number of packs, number of rares)? Presumably the t16 mobs give a base level of experience that is higher than t15 mobs. I don't know how to find out how much, though

[distant badge]

Well... I would recommend finding towers around it if possible and entering precursor tablets with modifiers to pack size and experience gain. Where pack size has more value.

Then, try to obtain a T16 waystone that has pack size, more magic monsters and more rare monsters on it, or one of these traded for increased experience works too - but you definitely benefit more from the increase to mobs.

If you cant, a very mob-dense T15 might yield similar or superior exp to a terrible T16, but the level gap punishment is very harsh.
I sternly advise to obtain a good T16 waystone for these untainted paradice maps to maximize their value.

[finite sequoia]

What's to stop me from clearing out most of the map but leaving it incomplete, then opening a different map, closing it, and re-opening untainted paradise? Wouldn't that spawn the whole map again?

[distant badge]

Hmmm...

Does resetting the instance enable the exp bonus to be farmable? - @idle hazel

I have never tried that, I could kick myself for not thinking of it :G

[idle hazel]

Unique maps can only be attempted once, iirc

[distant badge]

Ahhh, right!

If you leave them they count as failed.

[finite sequoia]

Makes sense. Thanks

[deft pecan]

The price for each respec increses the price right?

[idle hazel]

It scales based on level, not the number of times used.

[deft pecan]

Thanks 😄

[proper tartan]

today seems to be my lucky day:

1. my 6th div ever dropped
2. I finally sold an item for 4 divs that I got for under 1 div

so yesterday's wild shopping spree for useless rings is financed 😄

[finite sequoia]

If a map already contains a delirium mirror, is using an instilled waystone a waste of that mirror?

[jaunty void]

Any frost mage player here who can help me make my build better? U can dm me as well

[dusky star]

the mirror will disappear, yes

[rigid mortar]

Anyone wanna help me with trials of sekihimas

[jaunty void]

Sure what lvl?

[delicate walrus]

how much is a trial of sekmuhass carry now? in exalts?

like complete carry for the full 8 points

[undone merlin]

died twice today to unknown things. enemies were shooting at me but i saw no projectile hit me either time. frustrating, at least id just leveled up

[acoustic bane]

Looking at a trade server, I'm seeing everything from completely free to 200, 300, 400, here's one for 500. Guess it depends on the person. Lots of 1 Div ones.

[narrow idol]

why the reduction?

[proud gorge]

Is there a known bug that the Bog Witch in Azak Bog stays on the map as undefeated in Cruel Act 3? POB thinks I am missing 2 Passive Points for my level, and the map tells me I haven't killed the Bog Witch, but when I kill her, I don't get any passive points.

nm. it doesn't matter. The Bog gave spirit points, not passive points. So that's not why there is a missmatch.

[narrow idol]

anyone?

[idle hazel]

Some icons do remain marked as undefeated, it's a known issue.

[mortal oyster]

hey is the witchunter howa build still good?

[viral blaze]

hi im curious if anyone plays good infernalis build thats made for good single target as well as mapping?

ty 🙂

[wind magnet]

does this apply to bosses aswell?

[fossil bloom]

Yes

[zenith token]

just attempted 4th assendancy first time trail of sekmas so fucking hard any tips i need better gear i think mad tho coz i can clear 11 maps easy

[dusky star]

corruption can alter nodes like that

https://poe2db.tw/Waystones#EndgameCorruptMods

that node has the +100% xp -50% quant mod

[distant badge]

No.

Mods in trials are specific when referring to bosses or monsters.

[fossil bloom]

Getting 75% honor resist is really helpful

Also if you’re not, take advantage of the merchant shit. Like ornate dagger and hares foot makes the trial pretty easy if you don’t have bad afflictions

[zenith token]

think i did get a bit unlucky with the afflictions

[halcyon cave]

how's your single-target damage? are you getting to zarokh and then dying or having trouble with the trial rooms

I had trouble there while easily clearing maps because of the jump to pinnacle boss hp

[zenith token]

i’m a deadeye i feel my single target is decent it’s dealing with the scorpion boss before cos it moves so much i can tie it down for the lighting orb then im low on honor then i just get fucked on the 4th floor

[halcyon cave]

then yeah, get honor res and some extra merchant options, avoid taking random afflictions, and pay attention to the 4th floor room layouts so you know how to breeze through next time

[brisk crest]

guys, i have 2 tabs of precursor tablets, and have NONE of these with "Your Maps have 1 additional random Modifier" - is there any specific way to obtain tablets with this modifier?

[halcyon cave]

and if you have never gotten to zarokh, fair warning that he's a big jump in boss hp, even if the scorpion is no problem

[zenith token]

i found that on the 3rd assecandy that i just needed to do it a few times annoyingly

[halcyon cave]

it's certainly set up with the intent that you do a few runs, find new relics, get better at picking the right rooms, etc

[fossil bloom]

That definitely happens. I’ve found that merchant can outweigh most of the negatives

[zenith token]

might need to map more it’s just hella boring sometimes just rare monster hunter

[fossil bloom]

Granted I also use mind over matter so stuff like no armor evasion or ES doesn’t effect me

[halcyon cave]

most builds have a few afflictions that will totally ruin a run, so I recommend just never getting hit with a random one unless totally necessary

especially if you've already taken several minor afflictions that are fine for you, because that means a higher % of the remaining afflictions will ruin your day

[fossil bloom]

Worn sandals without hares foot is always the worst

[undone merlin]

is there an advantage to using a staff for casting? seems like you would want to use wand and focus if possible

[halcyon cave]

sigil :)

[fossil bloom]

Hungry fangs, and 20% more attack speed are also really bad

[undone merlin]

i dont know what you mean sorry

[fossil bloom]

Sigil of power with chiming staff. But you can just use that as second weapon slot

[zenith token]

ty @fossil bloom @halcyon cave v helpful

[halcyon cave]

the main answer to staves is unfortunately not really

[fossil bloom]

A good staff might be cheaper than good wand+focus if you care about that

[undone merlin]

oh ok. yeah i have it in secondary weapon

[prime scroll]

Worth noting that QotF doesn't care

[fossil bloom]

Yeah that’s true

[halcyon cave]

well that's a good point actually 🤔
probably for some people it's better dps/divine

[brisk crest]

"Your Maps have 1 additional random Modifier" - is there any specific way to obtain tablets with this modifier?

[halcyon cave]

if someone is asking for sekhemas help I am going to assume they're not QotF lol

[prime scroll]

...True.

[halcyon cave]

just luck, you can probably 3-to-1 into it though

[undone merlin]

ok thanks. that what i figured

[prime scroll]

That's a pretty solid assumption

[undone merlin]

i wish there was a chaos spell that worked in barrier invocation. any of the fire spells work well?

[brisk crest]

is there any good usage for suffix waystones besides citadels?

[grizzled spear]

is anyone else having problems with shield wall + HOTG + trampletoes
It s like it is not hitting the boss and does no dmg

[wild iron]

how do i restart

[novel crow]

shut the game down

steam will queue an update automatically

[frigid lantern]

is pe2 not working on console rn?

says there’s an update but it can’t get it right now

Doing the same to me on Epic and some others on steam, ive only heard them reacting to the Linux users getting warned for cheating

[frigid lantern]

ok so the game is down for most

[long turret]

How do I know what is a prefix and What is a suffix enhancement?

[hollow ice]

hold alt

it will show in item description

you can also search it up with stuff like poe2db or craftofexile

*prefixes and suffixes are categories of explicit modifiers. enchantments are not suffixes or prefixes, they are on a higher group on the item.

Is it not possible to irradiate the 500% XP maps?

Nope they stay untainted

[summer robin]

Hi guys new, can you have a 154% relic setup with at least us 3 merchant choices? Thank you

[distant badge]

Poison charm, helps a lot if u arent chaos inoculated.
I really recommend using Electrocuting Arrow to lock this scorpion boss down, but the mechanic is to dodgeroll over a platform when the boss jumps out of the ground so that it falls ontop of the platform. - this will poison you on standing on the platform, and will stun the boss for a few seconds so that you cna deal damage.

[distant badge]

Not the appropriate channel for this, but,
If you want to specifically improve your dps for bosses hmu,

I am assuming that you are using thiefs torment and cast on shock with impetus and ball lightning,

Theres a lot to unpack in regards to improving boss dps, for reference,

When I just now learned as a 78 warrior I can switch hideouts and not have to run a mile to the salvage bench.

[idle hazel]

You can also freely move around the benches, NPCs and decorations in your hideout, so you can have the Salvage Bench even closer if you really wanted to.

I really gotta stop zooming through the dialog. I bet that was all said. Thank you @idle hazel

so i just finish my new char but i dont get why i cant do end game

[outer wyvern]

might be a dumb question but do monsters in like t2 maps give more xp then t1 maps

if im in the same level range

[amber helm]

yes

wait

yes they still do

because they are higher level monsters

and higher level monsters grant more exp

[tight folio]

https://poe2db.tw why i cant see the prefixes and suffixes on shields?

Is there any reason I cant access to this tower?

you won't know till you clear that map to the bottom right

but yeah there're still plenty of atlas bugs

[grim basin]

bottom is not connected thou. the only connection to this (green) is the red circled.

[novel crow]

I'll just chalk it up to bugs

[grim basin]

ok. thx

[novel crow]

there are tons of reports of atlas issues, usually unreachable maps/towers, and even ones you can't access when the lines show you should

[weak sphinx]

Hey, can someone explain how item rarity and item quantity interact with map tier?
For example, is item quantity at tier 3 (white) the same as tier 15 (white)? Same for rarity?
or does quantity and rarity scale with tier?

i.e. does a white t15 map have the same divines drop chance as a white T3 map? Or is it higher on the t15 map because the monsters are higher level?

[novel crow]

quantity doesn't scale but rarity does

quantity will scale with monster density though

we don't have the details of just how rarity scales but it's pretty clear based on the drops, though you can get divines even in T1 maps

[weak sphinx]

Gotcha - so although you can get divines in a T1 map, its much more likely on a t15, because currency has a higher chance to be rarer (i.e. more likely to be exalted/divines etc than augment/transmute)?

[novel crow]

yeah, no idea of the magnitude though

but rarity scales with difficulty basically

I wish I knew how much, but that sort of data is (intentionally) kept obscure by the devs

[weak sphinx]

gotcha - thanks heaps!

[novel crow]

my first divine dropped in an easy T5 map while I was levelling; if you consider the 80 character levels (70 map levels) before that none dropped it fits the pattern

it might have dropped as a scroll of wisdom in an act1 map

[viral blaze]

any idea if theres dps diffrence between arsonists and storm mages?
im using 50/50 rn but im struggling with bosses

[proper tartan]

someone told me that you can have both Herald of Thunder and Herald of Ice trigger, just from Tempest Flurry... is that right or bs?

[junior hornet]

dat right

[proper tartan]

hmm, it won't work for my build, must be doing something wrong with support gems

[junior hornet]

triggering Thunder is easy, Ice is a bit trickier, you need added cold damage/freeze buildup

usually you trigger Thunder, have cold infusion and glaciation on Thunder to make it freeze enemies, thus triggering Ice

[proper tartan]

I have those two on Thunder hmm

[junior hornet]

in my experience supports alone won't be enough, you need added cold damage from gear, and/or freeze buildup from passive

and gain % damage as cold also helps

@proper tartan try speccing into these nodes for freeze buildup

[proper tartan]

ahh

yep, that did it!

not 100% sure if it's all worth it, but I think I'm doing enough dmg anyway 🙂

glorious ice explosions! Muhaha! 😄

this Gemling is SO much better than my sorceress

[novel crow]

which is sad, the spark sorceress is half as good as a gemling too

something something balance

[sand kestrel]

Can I have multiplie relic lockers or a bigger one?

[proper tartan]

yeah, I thought my archmage spark sorceress was super!

[novel crow]

gemling makes the best caster, so wtf does that make sorceress

I worked hard to get 8.7k mana on my sorc, but equivalent gemlings have double that

[proper tartan]

my lvl 93 sorceress has only 52k spark damage

[novel crow]

yeah but tooltip isn't accurate

[proper tartan]

my lvl 90 gemling has like 120k tempest flurry plus 2 heralds

yeah, I know

[novel crow]

but as a scalar, I get it

[proper tartan]

now, with the sorceress I can hang back and destroy a large area without getting into it

but on the other hand, against a fast moving boss, it's really hard

[novel crow]

well, builds are meant to have strengths and weaknesses... except for gemlings

I have no real weakness now but I am also lv98 and have curated the same character over hundreds of hours

[proper tartan]

I really stumbled into the gemling

believe it or not: When I created the char, I thought it was a mercenary with crossbows, and I called it Geminisolo, before I knew about Gems or Gemlings!

[novel crow]

kek

if I'd known at the start how good they were I wouldn't have gone sorc since I tend to be a one char type player, and I like mages

anyway let's see how balance changes - if at all - in 0.2

[proper tartan]

I made it from lvl 18 in 2 days to lvl 87 or so with my gemling together with another guy

yeah

worst case scenario, both of my chars are obliterated and I get to see how a warrior plays

[novel crow]

well it'll almost certainly be a new league so they'll effectively be obliterated regardless, unless you want to play on the dead early access league alone

[proper tartan]

yeah

[novel crow]

people insist it's been confirmed by ggg, but I've seen no official notification of that

[proper tartan]

you think they at least let us keep gear or something?

[novel crow]

no

new league is start with nothing

that's always been the case with poe1, I can't see them changing it now

[proper tartan]

damn

a lot of what I have was donated to me by friendly people in here

[novel crow]

often at the end of a season people will donate gear since it's going to a grave otherwise

but that is for people who keep playing on in standard league

early access is not going to become standard league

that, they have made clear in their faq (sadly, since I'm quite partial to standard)

The tier of the map specifically just increases the level of the units on the map. The larger the difference in the level between the player and the units in the map, the larger the variation of difficulty and loot will be.

Quantity is fixed, at an increase drop rate per enemy killed.

[distant badge]

Mate, thats a chat moderator, that is telling you, that this is the incorrect channel to ask this in.

Try #price-check📉 instead.

I strongly advise against ever typing in full caps to tell a chat moderator to be silent.

[proper tartan]

it seems to me that some people now offer items on the trade site in Chaos Orbs instead of Exalted Orbs

[distant badge]

Chaos is the chad currency

its annoying to trade in exalts due to inventory space and amount of actions per trade, chaos converts it to a rate between ex and divs, its a great Currency.

The drawback is... I keep using all my chaos orbs instead of thinking of them as just currency :G

[frigid lantern]

can someone help me figuring out why i cant do endgame yet

[dusty widget]

I got 9 divs and some good gear ready. My build is not working out the way I thought it would - can anybody recommend me a stat stacker build? I'm a gemling merc

[glacial crown]

What issue

[dusty widget]

Dps, mainly - I'm stuck on 336k damage on plasma blast, not sure where to improve

[distant badge]

Mobs have like.. 15k hp...

dps isnt the issue, effective implementation is the issue.

Doing 1 million dps per click and only hitting 1 target at a time, vs doing 5k dps but hitting 3 targets at a time... results in the same amount of clicks to kill 3 targets of 15k hp...
Add more targets and the 1mil dps becomes pretty useless...

effective implementation of dps is key.
I am aware of Plasma Blast having pierce and explosion mechanics for AoE, this is just an example.

but #2┃build-planning is the channel for that,

[proper tartan]

I've got a attribute stacker gemling and only make 150k dps

with my main skill, but then there are also 2 heralds

[dusty widget]

Ah, thanks for that. Also thanks for the advice

I do 13k with galvanic shards, I use that for clearing 15+ maps, which works great

I just feel unready for pinnacle bosses, is all

I'm done with campaign. But - In ACT 3, Venom Draught quest - I turned in the quest item but didn't select a reward. I did get the Act 6/Cruel reward.

Is there a way to get Servi to offer me the reward again back in Act 3?

[arctic crag]

Is it not present in the list of dialog options? Like below sell/disenchant etc

[arctic crag]

hmm if you did not choose a reward this sounds like a bug, sorry I am not sure. Maybe someone else does.

[half peak]

Appreciate you taking a look. Yes, I suspect it is bug. And the UX going back to Act 3 after finishing the campaign is not wonderful. A lot of going back and forth through the gate - sometimes having to get back through initial zone to get to clearfell just to find any waypoint.

[idle hazel]

The portal taking you to Cruel is temporary to begin with, it should be resolved once Act 4 is implemented and you simply return through the portal normally.

[half peak]

Yeah makes sense

[warm gorge]

I just finished cruel with a new char and im now on the same atlas map as my high lvl char. Is that normal? Those quests also dont show like do 10 lvl 1 maps etc

[jagged hound]

Yes, Atlases are shared between characters in the same league

[warm gorge]

Thanks. Mmmhh... dont know if I like that. I somehow looked forward to doing the quests again^^

[novel crow]

The atlas quests were just "finish Tier x maps"

if you mean the acts, you have to do them for every character

[sand kestrel]

I just wish the screen turned a little red or gave some visual feedback when your energy shield is getting low. Right now, I think it only gets red once life is used but ES is the bigger pool for most.

[novel crow]

it's mana in my case

by the time life is low, I'm screwed

"low life" is <35% of life, by that time I'm down to <6% of my HP

and with CI builds, low life is dead

[sand kestrel]

Right, there should be some type of visual feedback. IDK if my vid works

[novel crow]

yeah I'm agreeing, and it depends on the build as to which resource is critical

[sand kestrel]

I get you.

[wind stirrup]

i think it also would have helped if you almost didnt get 1 shot and died a little slower

[sand kestrel]

If there was some feedback that my ES was decreasing, that would have helped. The white bar over my head doesn't change until its below 4734. By that time, im toast lol

[wind stirrup]

Died to skellys?

just unlucky ig

[sand kestrel]

I have no idea honesly. The delirium fog was fogging lol

[wind stirrup]

oh your using minion build i didnt see it right

[sand kestrel]

Yeah

at 3.4 secs I get visual feedback i.e. my ES bar decreases, at 4.1 im dead.

[lucid flax]

There's guides probably explaining this but besides killing enemies, how do breaches work specifically?

I'm killing enemies, but I find them ending quickly, and not getting the shards/hands

[novel crow]

timed open and shut, killing enemies delays the opening ending, the harder the enemies the longer it delays it

you can kill any enemies within the breach to prolong it too, they don't need to have spawned from the breach itself

so don't clear the area before tripping the breach, unless you can't cope with the extra enemies

leave picking up any splinters till after it's over or you'll shorten the breach time

breaches are best in nice large open areas, if it's completely open you can run around the breach in a spiral outwards killing foes, if not, zigzag along the edge of the breach and kill monsters as they spawn

difficulty affects the breach splinter drop, so higher level, harder foes, more splinters

there are also breach passive nodes once you kill the breach boss that can amplify things

make sure to hit any breach hands, as they drop splinters and the big ones drop items too

breach rings being one of the most desirable non-unique items in the game

[lucid flax]

Oh okay I get it now, that makes sense why they ended faster, thanks a bunch

Hi guys, my main character got locked out of trial of sekhemas, I can't interact with the altar at all.

My alt can tho. Its just my main that cannot interact with the altar. I can't change instance in the trials,. Got any solutions?

[proper tartan]

I've got a question: in the atlas tree, the "Map Boss Difficulty +1" feels more like it makes everything MUCH harder...
Would it be ok to make it as hard as possible, at the cost of maybe playing lower tier maps, like T13-14 maps instead of T15-16?

or do they ONLY make the bosses harder?

also there's the consideration how to get to those citadels the fastest, at the cost of maybe less experience?

[small rune]

it is safe to assume that the more difficulty layers are added the more your loot gets fatter

[novel crow]

quantity is proportional to number of monsters, rarity goes up though

[small rune]

I don't think boss difficulty increases map difficulty

[proper tartan]

yeah

to me the bosses feeel WAY more difficult if I set that higher in the atlas tree

so for now I might actually not set them higher 😛

and just do a lot of maps

also to get to those damn citadels

but it's cool that you can basically adjust the difficulty!

[pine coral]

Is their a carrying service for poe 2?

I see a bunch of poe 1 stuff still

you sure its that one you missed?

[tacit willow]

Anyone know how to get exiled exchange to stop hiding the stats?

[obtuse idol]

just finished act 6 and now in the ziggurat refuge, do i just pick whichever map i can for the waystones or

[amber helm]

yeah

[obtuse idol]

do i just beat all monsters in this area or theres certain objectives

[amber helm]

all rares

and map boss if any

[obtuse idol]

gotcha

[quaint vapor]

start with tier1 maps if this is your first time tho

get a feel, and work your way up on higher tier maps

[obtuse idol]

yeah im using the free one from doryani

i eventually died and resurrected in town, so its only 1 death per run?

[quaint vapor]

yes

[obtuse idol]

okay damn thats new

[quaint vapor]

once you hit lvl85, you lose 10% xp everytime you die

[obtuse idol]

guess i finally have an excuse to do all the optional stuff i missed from the acts

[quaint vapor]

if you have enough exalts, you can exchange them at Alva for Omens of Amelioration

They soften the blow a bit of losing xp lol

but they expensive, just saying

[obtuse idol]

im still 67 so hopefully i get better doing runs before 85

[quaint vapor]

ofcourse you will 😄

Look for better gear around lvl75

[obtuse idol]

gotcha, ill do the stuff i missed in acts for now

[quaint vapor]

and cap your resistances, it helps.. ALOT xd

[obtuse idol]

speaking of that, are there certain things to check off in a build by the time i start making a proper one

like that cap res thing

[sand wigeon]

crowbell is just sitting here what do I do lol

alt f4 I guess

[slender brook]

Hug him

[worldly dagger]

What do these homing pimples do? Doesn't seem to inflict damage nor ailments

[sand wigeon]

crow bae?

[undone merlin]

any kind souls out there willing to offer suggestions for my build here? fighting on my heels a little on t14 t15 and about 25 % of reviving enemies are seriously testing my sanity thanks in advance
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/ia3sn0eo

[proper tartan]

oh, I didn't know a char tool like that existed, neat!

[undone merlin]

i just leared about it recently. is prety handy. cntrl c while hovering over an item in game copies it and can be pasted into maxroll planner

[proper tartan]

oh wow

I don't really get how to add the skill/support gems etc.

but at least I have my items now to show

I mean: I can add skills and support gems, but they are automatically lvl 20

[undone merlin]

if you click the particular skil up top left shows lvl 20 but if you hover over it yuo can change lvl

[proper tartan]

hmm, I don't have a maxroll account, so for now I can't use it

ah, signed up: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/th9at0nb

but haven't completed most of it

[undone merlin]

any idea why tf curency exchange shorts me sometimes i order 2 omen get 1 it say order completed. bulshits man

[amber helm]

bad ratios probably

[undone merlin]

i wait for it7 to calculate beforre i order. thinik it just ripping me

[tacit willow]

Anyone know how to get exiled exchange to stop ignoring stats

[brisk crest]

does "delirious" increase drop quantity + rarity by itself?

[undone merlin]

yall also get twin rares all the time?

[idle plover]

the 15% life mastery when no life mods on body means ANY life mod or just max life?

[idle hazel]

This is the PoE2 channel.

That's a PoE1 question.

[tired stream]

can someone explain what happened here?

[idle plover]

oh lol, sorry, got lost 😄

[gaunt sun]

Is there a catalyst that adds chaos resist to rings? I need 2% chaos resist lol so wanna use one if possible

[acoustic bane]

Chayula's Catalyst enhances Chaos mods, but if there's isn't already Chaos Resist it's not going to add it.

[undone merlin]

im getting way too many low lvl waystones. dont really like having to combine dozens and dozens of crappy ones

[main egret]

Had and still have the same issue

[undone merlin]

is a pain in the ass. and i swear nearly every hiogh lvl stone i get has bullshit modifiers on it

[main egret]

I fell you, seems like the only thing i can find is tier 1-5.

[undone merlin]

at least half of the lvl 15 ones ive found i set aside because i dont wanna die constantly. my build need something still dont know what but im fighting on my heels a good bit of the time on t15. would love any suggestions anybody might offer. https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/ia3sn0eo

[main egret]

Literally same

[tame frost]

How do I get breach atlas points? Do I need to run my own breach stone or can I join someone else’s?

[undone merlin]

pretty sure have to b yours

[tame frost]

If I can run t15s should I be able to run the breachstone?

[tribal owl]

idk if this is known yet, but i found a funny interaction with Bonestorm. if you tap the skill and about half a second later hold the skill, you regain your movement speed while still channeling bonestorm

[hybrid saddle]

when is 0.2?

[vague temple]

how would we know?

[rancid tiger]

You’re supposed to know these things

[wanton dawn]

@vague templeye ur the guy

for that

[vague temple]

im special

[rancid tiger]

When’s 2.0?

[vague temple]

soon

[wanton dawn]

thank u for this crucial information

top secret

nobody know

[obtuse idol]

just started t1 mapping and making an actual build
how do i cap resistances like are there certain items to get specifically for it
and how much is the cap exactly

[jagged hound]

All armor and jewellery can have res, you dont want any on weapons (besides shields)

Cap is 75% by default, 90% with +max increases

[obtuse idol]

so its fine to have res bonuses scattered across my armor/jewelry as long as i cap?

and the default 75% is enough?

[jagged hound]

Yes and yes

Most of your gear suffixes are going to go towards res

[obtuse idol]

gotcha should probably focus on that right now lol

[jagged hound]

I do not know how you even got to maps like that

-32% on Doryani

[obtuse idol]

im only at t2 maps atm, just started mapping last night so probably time to fix my build

what else besides capping res that is like universal in most builds?

[jagged hound]

Just that and life/ES

and damage obviously

Oh and movement speed on boots, thats a big one

[obtuse idol]

im at ~1.2k both life/ES but i plan to do chaos inoc way down the line

[jagged hound]

You should try to get to a combined 3k at least

[obtuse idol]

been stuck with a 20% boots for the longest time havent gotten anything better

do i have to intentionally buy/augment a higher one asap

[jagged hound]

20% is fine until you get your res capped

[obtuse idol]

ayt thanks for the help

[warm snow]

With the Unstable Energy node in the atlas tree, does it take into account the bonuses from tablets? Example being if there was 10% quanity of item bonus on a map node and I used a 13% quantity of item prefix waystone, will Unstable Energy boost 23% quantity of item bonus combined? Assuming it is boosting prefix effect

[main egret]

In the chaos trial can i get the final pieces to access the boss from any of the 3 bossfights ? Or only the last one.

Since i only gotten them on the 3rd and final boss so far. Just curious

[nimble fern]

I am 50% of the way to lvl 92...worth it to stick with semi-safe maps until i hit it? or is there no real benefit after 90

[novel crow]

final boss of a 10 stage trial

they're not evenly given out either, deadly fate is much rarer than the other 2

[undone merlin]

I keep getting 90% low lvl waystones. Is there a atlas tree setup that'll increase higher lvl stone drops? Quite frustrating

[undone merlin]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/ia3sn0eo would some of you kind folks mind offering suggestions on my build here? doing a bit of backpedaling on t14 and 15

[delicate walrus]

the higher monster level is 82?

[torpid crown]

Anyone know if caches at the end of sekhema have a chance to drop unique relics?

[viscid sage]

Can go up to 84 iirc

[proper tartan]

not sure if this is the right channel, but does anyone know if GGG will ever provide some APIs to look at the trading site via a script? Or provide APIs to get your own character at least into some form where you can simulate things?

my queries on the trade site are sometimes "too complex" and I wish that I could at least save them

[idle hazel]

PoE1 had a way to get your character to import into Path of Building, so I would guess PoE2 will get such a thing eventually. I don't recall the specifics of the trade situation, so I'll defer the question to someone that does.

[proper tartan]

I think they probably don't want trading to become automated, to prevent spammers and scammers

but just searching would be nice

[slender brook]

Hey, does add # to # to attacks (lightning) add DMG to spark?

[idle hazel]

No, as Spark is not an Attack, it is a Spell.

You can check this on any skill by looking at the tags in the Gem tooltip, most will have the first tag as either Attack or Spell.

[slender brook]

Ty

[formal timber]

can someone take a look through my gear and passive nodes and maybe tell me why tier 2 waystones are a challenge for me?

[reef sphinx]

Hi guys, I have just completed a play through with stormweaver, I want to make a new character now. I have about 150 div to spend on the build after I beat the campaign with my new character. I want to play invoker or gemling legionnaire as well as ranger. I find all of their builds interesting and dont know which is the best out of the three
which one should I pick?

[faint bane]

How do people get so Many Divines ?😳

[reef sphinx]

scamming

I scammed alot for this

lol jk I just play the game

learn about whats worth crafting thats basically the only thing I can recommend

[lost hound]

What curse should i be avoiding on archer to make sure the boss doesnt give last boss of trials shock res?

Like thw boss wasnt triggering my ball lightning at all

[compact acorn]

would this be worth alot for a spark player?

i dont have enough currency for actual crafting and i dont wanna just ruin it with exalts lol

[proper tendon]

Lv16 = lv80 + irradiated = lv82 + corruption = lv83? How to get lv84?

[amber helm]

not much

slam it

[proper tartan]

stupid question: as a gemling, does "lightning damage" count as "spell damage" (as in % increased spell damage)?

[amber helm]

no

well

are your skills spells

if they are spells spell damage will work

[proper tartan]

no, I didn't think so

[amber helm]

if they are attacks spell damage willnot work

[proper tartan]

right

[amber helm]

whether or not its lightning damage is meaningless

[proper tartan]

right, though so

[amber helm]

all damage is one of the five damage types (phys cold lightning fire chaos) and either spell damage or attack

[proper tartan]

thanks

[wild iron]

is this good

[amber helm]

no

no base damage

trash

[wild iron]

😭

[small rune]

spicier stuff will be something like 350 dps

upwards

[wild iron]

i have a 500 dmg 200 lightning dmg staff but its nto selling

[eager ember]

Did they fix dying yet? Also do we have our 6 revived for maps yet?

[vague temple]

missing +%physical damage

[vague temple]

one life in maps is intended. you get respawns only for pinnacle bosses (currently only arbiter of ash iirc)

[eager ember]

Intended as bad design sure

[vague temple]

https://tenor.com/view/big-lebowski-the-dude-your-opinion-gif-4476328

if youre dying in normal maps its either a build or skill issue

[sand kestrel]

So uhhhhhhh is there a boat in this game their not telling me about or what?

[vague temple]

if only

they should bring back the docks map and have it unlock a path across the water

[viscid sage]

This is the level u just see. But your map can go up to innate level of 84

Tho idk if its really lvl 84 monsters or just the level of the items u can get

[novel crow]

no it won't go to 84

only thing that's 84 are +4 pinnacle bosses and uniques

maps top out at 82, but rare monsters are 1lvl higher than the map, and uniques 2 levels

[tame frost]

What’s the most profitable way to spend gold?

[zenith sigil]

probably flipping shit at the currency market

if there is anything to flip

[viscid sage]

But you can see ilvl 84 on maps. What does it mean ?

[idle hazel]

Because, as they say, rare monsters drop items at one ilvl higher, and bosses/uniques at two ilvls higher.

[novel crow]

the ilvl is based on the level of the monster it drops from

[viscid sage]

Oh, ok

[viscid sage]

Thanks !

[opal vector]

Hi , struggling with simulacrum, spark build, 121kDPS, gear to improve far too expensive, any tips pls?
or anybody

[novel crow]

is it 121k on the tooltip?

spark should be able to clear sim but you need to have gotten your damage up as much as possible and be relatively tanky, your build might need tweaking

I run a spark sorc but I'm at almost 300k on the tooltip

[opal vector]

im a new player so no idea how to tweak, not using cast on shock. its a mix of Nicks endgame and late endgame

also lightning warp is in the build but doesnt seem much use

[novel crow]

sure, do you know how to use pob? Plug your values into it and upload your build somewhere

happy to help look at it

sadly it can't import the values straight from the game so you have to plug them in yourself

[opal vector]

is it an app i d/l?

[novel crow]

https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding-PoE2/releases

yes, a community created app for calculating your build's damage and defences etc and help optimise it

[opal vector]

installing now

[novel crow]

it's almost essential for the final content in endgame to optimise your build this way

[dusty widget]

Is this bugged? Doing the breachstone thing and there are no enemies or hands

[novel crow]

looks bugged, there are rare enemies on the minimap but nothing visible

[dusty widget]

Yeah it was bugged, I was ported back when the timer ran out

Did this just waste a breachstone?

[novel crow]

I think so :(

do you have a slow network or something perhaps and it hadn't rendered them yet?

[dusty widget]

Maaan

Nah my internet is fine, never had problems like that

[novel crow]

hrm

[dusty widget]

Man those were my last ex ;_;

[novel crow]

it really does look bugged with nothing there, have you done breachstone before?

[dusty widget]

Nope, first one

was trying to do all breach bosses before the reset

pinnacle*

[novel crow]

understood

xesht is also the easiest of the pinnacle bosses so a good choice for first

[dusty widget]

I already beat the time dude and the ritual dude

[novel crow]

nice

[dusty widget]

but tbf, the time dude was a given since I got "no damage in the next room" before

[novel crow]

hah nice, but the hardest part isn't killing him, it's the timed mechanics

well, assuming you ahve tons of damage that is

[novel crow]

also do you have any spare currency for some affordable item tweaks if necessary?

[opal vector]

i have some but not enough for improvements

[novel crow]

there's usually plenty to do to the passive tree, but sometimes spending a few divs can make a huge difference too, most newcomers overlook jewels especially which can be a great boon

[ivory forge]

what is your ign?

[dusty widget]

Also Zimtschock

[opal vector]

i have jewels in, mana on kill in use

[novel crow]

right, but may need some damage focus to them

anyway, keep entering, and I'll take a look

[opal vector]

you have time to take a look?

[novel crow]

sure, I love tinkering with passive trees with builds I know

[opal vector]

sorry itaku, im 58, this stuff is a bit over my head

[novel crow]

I'm 55

[opal vector]

just a kid then 🙂

[novel crow]

https://tenor.com/view/how-do-you-do-fellow-kids-steve-buscemi-30rock-fellow-kids-one-of-us-gif-21904018

every build will be different unless you're going for an exact copy, but if it helps, this is my current spark sorc build: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/gfb3d0eu

it's sort of impossible to get an exact copy of a build guide, so you end up having to tune with what you've got

[opal vector]

is it possible to get yours, add it to pob then adjust it to mine?

[novel crow]

well yes it is, you can import mine but it will overwrite your existing one, and you'll have to import your gear

by the way you can copy the gear from the game

if you ctrl-c over the item it copies the details, then you go to the item tab in pob and press paste ctrl-v and it will fill it in

[dusty widget]

The story has a happy ending: @ivory forge was kind enough to donate another breachstone

And I one-shot the hand fucker

[novel crow]

figured that's what he was gonna do ^_^

[dusty widget]

God I love this game

And the community is so nice ❤️

[novel crow]

the help channels generally are, the general channels can get a bit grumpy

now do it 3 more times at even increasing difficulty

the pinnacle bosses only drop the good items at their top tier

[dusty widget]

True, the ritual dude droppen an ing belt with 78%, that was really great

[novel crow]

very nice

[dusty widget]

But my goal is kinda to go through all pinnacle bosses before the reset; Time miser, ritual dude and hand fucker are down

Thinking about where to go next

[novel crow]

got any expedition logbooks lv79+ ?

[dusty widget]

I got one

[novel crow]

see if you can find the expedition boss, he's pretty easy

[dusty widget]

Yeah I was told, will try that

[novel crow]

he's not there in every logbook sadly

[steel wolf]

yeah log books otherwise aint worth the effort honestly.

so much time, so much risk, such little reward. logbooks are silly

[novel crow]

but look for a little hut with a monster icon in it, that's the boss lair

you need to blow it up as part of the expedition

[steel wolf]

a common strat is go straight to the boss and ignore everything else kek

[novel crow]

the rest of expedition drops crap generally

hah snap

I've never had anything good drop in an expedition, you just go there to find the boss

[steel wolf]

and for how little you get, theyre so dangerous

[novel crow]

yeah but he's trying to drop every pinnacle boss so it's one of the goals

[dusty widget]

yup

Wanna see all content before I stop playing ^^

[novel crow]

well that's pretty much the point of endgame

be good enough to drop every boss at highest difficulty

[dusty widget]

Don't really know what the boss looks like

Anybody know?

[novel crow]

look on the minimap

walk around the whole area

oh you have it up

your'e in luck

he's the skull

so you got him on the first logbook that's very lucky

[dusty widget]

Doooope

well I failed one earlier, but I did not know what I was doing then

[novel crow]

just take bombs out there and make sure his lair is highlighted

then blast it and enter there, forget about the loot it's crap

[dusty widget]

Alrighty, thanks for the help

[novel crow]

np gl

[dusty widget]

^^

Thanks again

[novel crow]

well done

the most painful boss is also the hardest to get to - arbiter, you need all 3 keys from the 3 different citadels

[dusty widget]

I have all keys 🙂 I'm keeping him for last

[novel crow]

his fight is what I call unfair, but hey you're breezing through these so who knows

[dusty widget]

Damage is not high enough I'm guessing

I'm at 900k

[novel crow]

he has phases that's why

[dusty widget]

on plasma blast

yeah I'm fucked then

haha

[novel crow]

900k on tooltip is a lot

in reality it's potentially much more

my tooltip says 300k but I'm doing around 10M

[dusty widget]

Ok so I did some re-shuffling in my skilltree

I might be ready now

[obtuse idol]

ive done a bunch of t1-t2 mapping pretty much moving just outwards on the atlas and ive started getting tablets
what exactly should i be doing with them? and what else should i do on the atlas besides progressively higher tier mapping?

[novel crow]

you'll eventually encounter citadels with tough bosses that drop keys to get to the arbiter boss, you'll also do rituals which eventually give you an audience with the king for that pinnacle boss, you do expeditions and find logbooks that lead to the expedition boss, you do breaches and collect breachstones that lead to that boss, you do delirium mirrors and collect splinters that make up a simulacrum that lead to the delirium boss

but all of that happens at t15+ levels

so you need to build up your character to be capable of all of the above in the process

[obtuse idol]

what should i do while in the t5 range or somewhere there

just keep doing progressively higher maps?

and what are those tablets for? ive just stored them in my stash until now

[novel crow]

just keep working your way through them and try the league mechanics along the way (breaches etc.) to get a feel for them

the main thing is to level and power up in the meantime

the tablets boost the maps around them when put in at lost towers for more rewards

they allow you to hone in on one type of boss and so on

[obtuse idol]

do i just put them and forget about it? or can i remove/replace them at any time?

also i noticed i cant run the same node/area again, so it means we keep expanding outwards on the atlas indefinitely?

[novel crow]

yep

you can't remove them, they're use once items

the map is infinite and random

[obtuse idol]

so its just a matter of preference which tablets i put in which towers?

[novel crow]

initially you won't have that many

but later on you use them selectively depending on the content you're trying to complete

[obtuse idol]

iirc ive gotten alr 10 but didnt want to make a mistake or whatever so its in a stash, guess many means dozens/hundreds eventually

but yeah ill try those in the towers then, will worry about those citadels/rituals/expeditions/breaches/mirrors much later

[novel crow]

first up is usually to beat the regular map bosses

but you need to get to t15 first

[obtuse idol]

nothing but the grind i guess

[novel crow]

they give you passive points in the map boss passives

[obtuse idol]

what should i target in the atlas skills/buffs initially? only have 4 points right now
