[lusty quartz]

yes

[echo marsh]

are vaults of kamasa just gone ? there aren't any on new citadels i find..

[jagged hound]

Is Armor to Chaos exclusive to Smith?

[thorn dock]

Anyone know how I can search for +1 Level to Corruption on Skill Gems on the trade site?

[arctic crag]

Just search for level 21 gems?

[fresh junco]

i get like 2-4 usually

[amber helm]

there's a socketable for it

and a desecrated somewhere

[arctic crag]

Doesnt seem searchable as an enchant btw. So I guess you are limited to searching for either level 21 or just corrupted gems and then going over them.

[amber helm]

you cna't search for +1 corrupt

painful i know

[arctic crag]

hmm, how is this??

Oh wait maybe they corrupted a 4 socket lol

[amber helm]

yeah, that only works if it's already 21

but if you want to use a 20 uncut to upgrade a +1, good luck

[arctic crag]

oh. I just buy them I am very unlucky in gamba things. The question was I thought they had gotten 2 corruption outcomes -1 socket and +1 level but then realized they probably didnt perfect jewellers before corrupting.

[amber helm]

yeah

you can't have 2 results, there is no double corrupt

[arctic crag]

I had a question about gem quality the other day. There are breakpoints for levels > 20 in poe2db but for some skills like barrage, you cannot seem to tell if 23% quality will still be 5% more damage (it seemed to go up in quality by 1% every 4 levels)

*4 more % dmg not levels

[latent wagon]

Is culmination still bugged?

i get no combo

ah nevermind

i use slams not strikes

[fresh junco]

anyone explain why after corrupting 2 level 20 skill gems they stayed exactly even whilst using the omen?

[arctic crag]

I think we already theorized it

it got +1 socket but was at max sockets

[fresh junco]

that doesnt make sense?

oh right sorry

it does make sense

[arctic crag]

Like they dont seem to exclude impossible events before rolling the dice. Have you ever gotten essence of abyss take like 3-4 tries to work on fractured item?

It would be nice if they block before the chance for corruption or any type of random picking is rolled like they seem to block some modifiers. This might just be a bug and not intentional idk

[grand saddle]

Seen one yesterday for 10 div, but I only see one listed at a time
Is this a fair price for something like this?

Wondering if I can use a annulment orb on a magic version of this and make it normal

[amber helm]

no, it stays magic

why is the above item worth 8 divs?

is ilvl 84 required for something important?

[languid pewter]

it isn't worth anything close to 8d lol

[amber helm]

yeah im looking for extra socket or quality and finding neither

[languid pewter]

20ex item if we're being generous imo

[grand saddle]

That's my confusion
Picked this up in someone else's map because my filter made it shiny

[amber helm]

i see

[grand saddle]

I then forgot about that and made it magic rarity, but then I remember and check the market and see that

[amber helm]

then just filter it properly

[languid pewter]

are you using fubgun filter or something @grand saddle

[amber helm]

i dont know what filters you're using, but there should be more than 1 white falconer's jacket with high item level

[languid pewter]

it highlights bases to slam transmute+aug on to see if theyre worth crafting on, falconers and sleek are the only good eva/es bases

[amber helm]

and if you dont know if 84 is important, literally just go check

poe2db has all the mods you can roll

[jagged hound]

Are you sure on the socket? I cant find it

[amber helm]

uh i might be hallucinating on that one

check trade by tying in the mod in filters and seeing what items can roll it

[fading timber]

Uh why dose swapping rare to unique grants like 1000 damage on arc i plan on using this unique for survivability

Also the right one is my skill tree

[jagged hound]

Helmets and shields seems like

Cant get much of it but ill have to try getting it on one or both of those

[wild canopy]

You're losing the spirit when you take off the rare. So one of your spirit reserving skills turns off

[fading timber]

Ah I see i had mysticism 2 on it

Base is just 100

Im going to get a decent solar amulet

Hmm what's considered a decent solar amulet

[wild canopy]

Whatever mods you need

A good amulet for one build might be trash for another

[lusty kelp]

Can you miss karui beacon and brick the boss map? I think I've done all the adjacent maps

[elfin girder]

why have my bookmarked maps changed? I remember bookmarking the location of a merchant and now it's gone?

That is, the bookmark is still there, the merchant isn't

[grand saddle]

For a trial that has a downside, does that stay throughout the whole thing or just that specific trial?

[sweet wyvern]

afflictions stay through the entire run

pledge rooms could give the option to remove one for another downside (like lose a boon, take damage, or gain another affliction). there's also a special glowy shrine room that will remove one

[arctic crag]

Fickle blessings of the wind iirc

Not exactly fickle, always beneficial.

[sweet wyvern]

(pretty sure "floor" is just the first floor it can appear on)

oh, nvm i see the rest

[arctic crag]

I am trying to play a blood mage for the first time and idk how to level this twink. I don't want to keep using LA/LR as I am tired of it. If I want to transition into a spark blood mage that uses temporalis, what would be the best route?

[sweet wyvern]

just start using spark?

you don't have to level with la/lr

[arctic crag]

I just dont seem to know how to scale it I guess. It feels like a normal character power level instead of a twink. I saw this and tried the widowhail with a good quiver setup but still feels meh especially vs bosses

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/spark-bloodmage

[steady flower]

how exactly do towers work? i thought they are permanent but sometimes they just reset for some reason, i did 6 maps around a tower after activating it and now i have to redo one of them while 2 other next to it are still fine

[arctic crag]

Are you using any special tablets? Like the expensive one, forgot it's name.

The one that doesnt complete map on first complete and only removes irradiation

[steady flower]

no i used 3x 7% quantity

[sweet wyvern]

on trade, is there a way to search stats as if the item didn't have runes?

[arctic crag]

You can but not directly, like there was a filter for rune: <value> e.g. the text in iron rune. Maybe you can do that and put 0?

I havent tried but when I was trying to enter something like morior invictus I saw it also had rune option

[steady flower]

i redid the tower and it didnt delete my tablets so thats nice

[arctic crag]

Are you sure the tower was not in range of another tower that had the unique tablet? Have you used the unique tablet this league at all, then my best guess is, it is due to that.

[steady flower]

i have never used a unique tablet before and i did all 3 towers today so im sure i only put normal ones in there

but its all fine i activated the tower again and everything works now

[rotund trench]

I've wondered that also. You can exclude sockets or particular rune types, but then it won't show you items that have those.

[sweet wyvern]

hm. for a phys bow, i can do a weighted search with each of the phys mods and iron rune, but put the rune weighting to 0

[arctic crag]

So setting that mod value to max 0 works?

[rotund trench]

no, but what serenity just suggested should

[sweet wyvern]

that searches for items without iron runes

also, the phys damage search isn't pseudo, only explicit, so it won't search for iron runes anyway

[rotund trench]

Then I guess you don't need to worry about adding runes to the weighted sum anyway?

[sweet wyvern]

yeah

[arctic crag]

ah ok, I saw it was a bow later, that mod for armour is specific to only runes and maybe the grand regalia

[rotund trench]

how do you add phys damage to sum, you mean # to phs dmg or inc phs dmg mods?

[sweet wyvern]

sum of %phys damage + average flat added = 309. now if you want the highest damage bow, you'd want to specify obliterator

[arctic crag]

The phys damage mod? I could not figure it out, and just set the explicit mod to a value higher than the hybrid mod or accuracy rating to NOT

[sweet wyvern]

well, i wanted to include the accuracy one too

[arctic crag]

I am using obliterator and don't get projectile range. There seems to be no projectile range stat for skills but only accuracy at distance

[sweet wyvern]

projectiles have a limited range they can go before just ending

[arctic crag]

If I shoot both without any enemies the obliterator just drops to ground but any other bow goes further animation, but for enemies it feels the same.

[rotund trench]

I don't know if this helps, but I started normalizing mods in weight sum by there max tier value. So each gets constant/max_value x weight. That fixes the issue of different mods being at different scales which messes up the weighting if you have a lot in the sum.

[sweet wyvern]

with obliterator vs without

the reduced range is actually beneficial for me

[arctic crag]

Where is the stat listed btw? I couldnt find it out.

[sweet wyvern]

on skills? i think it's a hidden stat

[arctic crag]

I also had a question about triggered skills. I am using Rhoa mount and couldn't cast spells (Elemental weakness), I had to manually get down from the mount to be able to cast it. What will happen if I have triggered spells or spelling will they work or would it just not cast it? Felt like too much work to just test and fail.

Same for spellslinger

[sweet wyvern]

i don't think triggered skills count as using them?

[arctic crag]

Do you have to have the dueling wand in active weapon set for the trigger to happen?

[sweet wyvern]

but you can only use bow, ranged spear, and mark skills on rhoa

[arctic crag]

hmm ok, I'll just test it out. I ran out of ideas to scale ice shot damage and I dont want to be spending currency on things like rakiatas and would rather invest it in second char. There are a bunch of "Free" things I could do like triggered spells. COF and COC.

I could technically just get spellslinger to trigger just from a lot of barrage casts.

[rotund trench]

This crab and it's minions keep respawning when I kill them. They've respawned about 20 times already.

[arctic crag]

There is a rare monster mod that seems to affect the whole map. I had this happen in a ritual T2 or so map and they got added to rituals, I had to leave map to end every ritual.

It could also be exploited, the ritual was still spawning monsters infinitely for some reason (but at a very slow rate)

[rotund trench]

I've had that on ritual, but it ended after about 5 minutes.

[arctic crag]

Ok maybe I didnt have that much patience to check, but they did have minion tag. It was these small imp type mob. But reviving minions map-wide seems intentional idk, it existed since 0.1

[tropic violet]

hellllpppp boss wont get damaged in maps

[arctic crag]

Is it the crowbell?

[tropic violet]

howd you know

[arctic crag]

he's my buddy, see if you can respawn at checkpoint, if not just go next, this map is wasted.

You can avoid this in the future by DPSing him very slowly, just hit a few times, and wait for him to walk to next phase > get enraged > do the same and then finally kill when he goes to the last location.

*It is a bug

[tropic violet]

ah okay thanks

[arctic crag]

I meant to say the waystone is wasted btw (unless you cleared the map and side mechanics before the boss), as for the map node itself you can just die or respawn and then kill him for completion.

[rotund trench]

It wasn't even giving me xp for killing it 100 times, lol

[arctic crag]

And it stopped after you finally found and killed the rare monster right?

[rotund trench]

It was rare with minions. I haven't finished the map yet, but I've killed a few other rares since I decided to run away.

[molten dome]

Is there any way to see teh damage of Raging Spirits summoned from fire spells? I summon them and look at the skill stats and it doesnt list damage just everything else

[arctic crag]

Oh ok I think I misread then. Only the minions perpetually respawn until you kill the rare with that mod and the rare monsters oculd be anywhere in the map.

Maybe this is a new bug idk.

[rotund trench]

No I was killing the rare and it's minions over and over.

[arctic crag]

yea sry I misunderstood, I was talking about a different case.

[rotund trench]

Once I finished the map, I came back and was able to finish the respawner.

[fresh junco]

anyone know much about chancing?

for dream fragments do you need a specific item level to get it from a whwite sapphire

[latent wagon]

So, if i take the passive that makes leech slower, but increases the leech by the same amount, did i understood it correctly that it gives you the same hp per second but over an increased duration?

So 100% more leech/100% slower leech the exact same 2% hp for 10 seconds instead of 5?

Or is it 1% leech per second and doubles the maximum to 20%?

[rotund trench]

Is it better to take 25% rarity or 15% quantity for map boss atlas tree?

[sudden rover]

Hey guys. I have now completed two maps level 79 plus with at least six modifiers and upon slaying the map boss I have not gotten any points for my Matt boss tree. At first I thought it was a bug because the first incident happened during that time where Maps were displaying wrong and people thought they were going into unique maps only to end up in a regular map but now it has just happened again so please help me figure out what user error I am making or is this truly a bug?

It says skill points can be obtained by slaying the map boss in an area level 79 plus map that has at least six modifiers. I have done that twice I still have zero out of 10 points.

And they didn't drop the item to use to get points. I don't have it in my inventory

The only thing I can think of is that on both maps the sixth modifier was an abyssal modifier

Also I am aware it requires 6 mods and I know how to tell that it has 6 mods. This is not a case of me thinking there were six mods but one of the mods just had two lines

[quasi shell]

is it possible to didnt pick it up from a while ago? check doriyani and see if he has a reward for you

[sudden rover]

I was really hoping you were right but alas no. I'm about to run a map with 6 mods and none of them are abyssal. Hopefully that's the problem.

[quasi shell]

also it sounds like you are running map boss maps, but just double checking you are running a map with this symbol?

[sudden rover]

Yes lol

[quasi shell]

ok had to ask

[sudden rover]

Now the maps that I didn't get the reward on I also had corrupted and they retained six mods as corrupted but I also have the Atlas node that double corrupts I'm not sure if that could have been the issue but maybe it made it 5 mods I don't I don't know if that's possible but

[quasi shell]

are you in a party?

[sudden rover]

No just solo

[quasi shell]

pretty sure corrupt can reduce affix count

just run a map and exalt fill it

[sudden rover]

That's what I'm doing with this next one

[quasi shell]

gl

[sudden rover]

Thank you senor pollo, for your assistance with diagnosing the problem. Having run an uncorrupted map with six modifiers in an irradiated zone has given me not only the first vanquishers book of knowledge but also the second!

[quasi shell]

no problem 🙂

[quasi shell]

good to know, i didnt know you can get multiple books by doing the latter difficulty

[rotund trench]

Same pleasant surprise just happened for me to.

[quasi shell]

🙌

[sudden rover]

Yeah it seems to only really makes sense with the first two sets of points. I would be surprised if you completed the Pinnacle of flame quest and got all 10 but that would be pretty neat if possible

[rotund trench]

I couldn't decide to go right or left on boss atlas so I went right and left 🙂

[quasi shell]

picking either randomly is better than going both 🙂

[sudden rover]

That's what I did last league. With the changes to map affixes I think you're better off going with quantity of items drop by Map bosses on the right. But I don't know It just feels that's the way to go for me Quant is king

[rotund trench]

why, seems like either is better than +10% waystone

[sudden rover]

You got to take that node as a necessary evil to get to the rest. I will be honest though none of the other options seem too appealing until you get to the areas with Map bosses have 30% chance to contain corruption when entered

[quasi shell]

i think quant is better anyway but even if you believe that, you need to skip right or left to get to last point which is decent

[rotund trench]

you mean the corruption?

[quasi shell]

yes

but its easily respecced so no biggy

[rotund trench]

should you always be vaal-ing your waystones? I never do

[quasi shell]

once you get enough currency yes

exalt fill and vaal for the chance at 16

there are other strategies but that typically means you are investing way more into mapping

vaal is cheap and effective to get some 16s

[sudden rover]

I would like to add that not only do you need the currency but you got to make sure you can survive these maps if you're dying you're better off running something easier

[quasi shell]

yeah true

[rotund trench]

I mean, hopefully it will give you back more than 1 vaal extra so why need extra currency?

[sudden rover]

You just don't want to go spending money that you don't have to gamble

[quasi shell]

well i remember a time where i literally didnt have enough vaals and no ex to buy any

[rotund trench]

I've been doing t16 6 mods. Seems ok, but when delerious harder to kill mobs

[quasi shell]

so if youre doing t16s, why are you asking about vaaling them? you literally cant vaal them again

[rotund trench]

i mean t15, not 16

[quasi shell]

oh

if you can handle you should vaal them

[sudden rover]

Well I mean technically you can via that one Atlas node but I'm just being pedantic

[sudden rover]

That's my current issue some mod combinations just wreck my crap up so when I get to a corrupted Nexus or an anomaly or citadel I tend to run something a little weaker just because the feeling of failing a map that crucial really stinks

[quasi shell]

yeah ill toss some badly rolled maps also, not too hard to oversustain maps

[scarlet moon]

how i check my current rarity increase?

[arctic crag]

yes

[loud dagger]

i have max resists and 5k ES and im still getting one shot

can someone take a look at my build

[sweet wyvern]

do you have the passive 'heavy buffer'?

[loud dagger]

i do not

[sweet wyvern]

first actually, are you ci?

[loud dagger]

nope

new player just yolo'd a build

can i dm you a screenshot?

[sweet wyvern]

i wouldn't know how to fix it

i'm not familiar with es

[loud dagger]

ah ok nw

[arctic crag]

Usually the ascendancy specific forum posts such as #1324861887581651078 channels are better for build questions, but I am curious, what is one shotting you? A rare mob? A pinnacle boss?

[gaunt scaffold]

So we cannot get Quant on waystones now? What is it that players are looking for in a juiced endgame waystone?

[loud dagger]

when I try to run juiced t15s ill be slaying waves of enemies and then suddenly ill just die

7k+ damage instantly with max res

[rotund trench]

I just did the anomaly boss one and it said IV but no III dropped, so assume others don't give you extras.

[arctic crag]

ok maybe it would a good first step to see what is exactly killing you. What ascendancy are you even btw?

[loud dagger]

is there a way to see a combat log? i couldn't find one

im a stormweaver

[arctic crag]

no logs afaik

[loud dagger]

yea i usually have no idea whats killing me

i just take 8k dam and explode

[arctic crag]

I would try asking in Stormweaver channel, I've never played that class. And idk how stormweaver does multiple layers/hybrid defenses besides pure ES.

Like do you do eldritch battery or something?

[jagged hound]

How do i deal with Xesht's triple chaos blast?

Just dodge roll?

[loud dagger]

the only defensive nodes i have are the +30% es and es as ailment threshold

ill try asking that channel

[arctic crag]

yea sry idk a lot about it, you could see your max hit taken for different damage types in POB but a total of 7k ehp with no other real mitigation sounds kinda low to me (I could be wrong)

[jagged hound]

nvm, gotta get behind him

[solemn lance]

Anyone experienced Incubator Queen eating your fps?
After defeating her, my fps dropped from 100 straight to 20, CPU 50ms GPU 10ms
Stay away from her around 2-3 screens helps my fps become normal

[woven cairn]

Cowardly, deadly and victorious.
It mean I can get special fragments from this token only?
Like I will get 2 same fragments from this token if I don't ignore which is it mentioned, just tried 2 ultimatum with deadly?

[chrome patio]

is there anything about the green text that appears when you open the reliquary vault?

[zenith sigil]

the items in reliquary vault are chosen by supporters, and so is the text that shows when their item drops afaik

so its just flavour text, sometimes a bit trolly

[meager sundial]

is anyone else's poe2 trade site scuffed like this to where they cant "copy" the item for PoB purposes?

[junior hornet]

there is a copy button? 👀

[zenith sigil]

there is no copy for poe2 trade by default

i think there is a copy if you have the tft extension in chrome

[balmy hinge]

How do I reset black cathedral/kulemak?

[hard wind]

Hello, can anyone explain to me how the omen of chaotic rarity works. I val orbed a t15 waystone while that omen was active with all 6 modifiers on it but it didn't get used and didn't work on the waystone

[quasi shell]

next chaos orb will affect waystone

[hard wind]

I would think so but it wasn't doing that

still isn't actually

[quasi shell]

well your map is vaaled now, so you cant modify it

[hard wind]

oh wait

im stupid, thanks for that. I valed not choas orbed it

my mind kept saying I have to val it

[quasi shell]

np

[grim vortex]

what level is appropriate to enter the first 50 splinter boss?

[zenith sigil]

i went in pretty much as soon as i got the splinters for it, and did fine

i think it depends more at your build strength than char lvl

[exotic gazelle]

no matter how far i go in one direction i cant find a single citadel. help?

[zenith sigil]

try going in a different direction ?

mine first set was about 5ish screens away from start

[exotic gazelle]

damn alright

[marsh furnace]

does clearing out the corruption surrounding a nexus make that nexus easier?

[scarlet moon]

okay so ive capped my res fixed my damage and "juiced" my maps to the best of my ability with the limited ex i have since i havent dropped a div yet

what do i do now

[gaunt creek]

the endgame in poe2 is not as good as in poe1 , you can farm mechanics like breach,expedition .... , kill all the pinnacle bosses,uber boss

[scarlet moon]

is there like

a way to farm ex and div?

or no

[gaunt creek]

raw div and ex ? it's just rng , you make currency by doing stuff and selling , this video about making currency in poe2 is pretty good https://youtu.be/43JXmVgotUk?si=fFWxKmXK_2UGAf9z

[sweet wyvern]

could farm sekhemas

[scarlet moon]

ty ty

[scarlet moon]

if barya ever dropped lol

Item Class: Support Gems
Rarity: Gem
Kulemak's Dominion
this any good?

[sweet wyvern]

not according to poe2scout.com

[scarlet moon]

rip

[untold quarry]

Hey are you supposed to get a free div during the campaign? I went through the campaign and I am now concerned that I've missed something

[dusky star]

no.

unless you count the various low level spirit gem(s) you may pick up and be quite overpriced, but you don't get a free div

[short herald]

Immunity = you can't get the ailment at all, right? As opposed to 100% reduced effect, where you still count as having it

[torpid wave]

quick question, why can't I use this charm?

[novel crow]

which charm...

[sweet wyvern]

wrong screenshot?

[torpid wave]

welp

[sweet wyvern]

I think 100% reduced effect is effective immunity. counteracted by increased effect

[torpid wave]

this one

[sweet wyvern]

you dont have enough charm slots

[short herald]

The key difference is I still have the ailment, and can thus consume it with Commiserate support, right?

[torpid wave]

oh, welp, thx

[sweet wyvern]

idk if 100% reduced effect is similar to immune or unaffected

[short herald]

ok, I'll just have to test it 😛 if it makes me immune, I have an option to leave it at 90% too so it's all good

[atomic verge]

Any good altas tree guide for currency farming?

[haughty gulch]

Could someone explain me what's the difference between weight sum and weight sum v2?

[wet stream]

is there a way to pause the game and read some of the auras that mobs have? currently fighting a rare mob in the abyss and its not taking damage

[sweet wyvern]

it likely has either amanamu's gaze (stay in the swirly shadowy area) or proximal tangibility (looks wispy, get closer)

[wet stream]

oh its definitely not proximal tang. amanamu gaze sounds about right.

ah ok so i have to stay in the shadow area to dmg him. Thnks!

[placid sleet]

should i go infernal legion or impact shockwave frozen mandibles?

[fossil hill]

When i do the expedition minigame, does the game roll loot when i open the excavated chests, or when i blow them up, as in does it matter if i equip rarity gear before opening them

[sweet wyvern]

player rarity doesn't affect chests

[fossil hill]

I see is there anything else it doesnt affect

[high scroll]

Whats going on here? why cant I go to it?

[short herald]

Hmmm, Overcharge + Commiserate doesn't do what I expect for Gathering Storm. I get the increased magnitude from Overcharge but not the more magnitude from Commiserate, and I never get shocked. Is that normal? They seem to work in isolation, but it's hard to accurately test Commiserate on the shocked ground from Gathering Storm.

Oh, https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3760879, already reported on forums

[scenic cloak]

wich items should i use orb of chance on?

[mint dirge]

why are people still saying "T4 Xesht" when I only see up to T3 on the realm gate? Is there a hidden mode I'm not seeing?

[bright bison]

what doese those number 1 - 1 - 1 -2 on right means?

[zenith sigil]

they are groups

and mods from the same group cant be on an item at the same time

[grand saddle]

How tf does this happen?

Or am I stupid

[sharp garnet]

whats the smartest thing to do with extra tablets?
have 3 page full of them

[vale sun]

i dont understand unique maps with darkness, why cant i continue when i complete the map, like there is still stuff, did i do something wrong?

[manic zealot]

is it possible for my pain offering to only affect my skeletons

it always targets nothing and goes on cooldown(with expanse)

[gaunt creek]

use sacrificial lamb support gem on them

[manic zealot]

youre a gigachad

oh no

it doesnt work

when i dont hover over a skeleton it just doesnt work

i have to target thema ll the time?!

[gaunt creek]

hmm works fine for me

[manic zealot]

if you use your curser far away it wont target anything and my pain offerin goes on cd withaout a buff

@gaunt creek

[full sleet]

Quick question, the blood mage build I'm following says to use Herbalism, but I barely use potions. Isn't that useless or is there some obscure blood mage tech with it?

not sure if any other builds use it

[full dirge]

So it occurs to me that I've missed out on deferring the sanctification omen, and as such I'm rather upset. How could I clean up this ritual tree if I want to prevent it from happening in the future?

[whole wyvern]

Is rarity stacking still required to drop divines? I haven’t even found one div or annulment orbs

[spring nymph]

Whats the map tier i should run to gain the most amount of xp but still being able to run the map quite easily if i'm lv 64 ? Tried some 15 and got obliterated xD

[dusky star]

you're level 64 and tried to do some of the highest tier maps in the game? just run maps around your level

[spring nymph]

xD yeah i just wanted to try for fun but tbh the damage difference didnt seem THAT big

[spring nymph]

Yeah so i should do t1 or t2 allright

[loud raft]

Hello after acts help people

[whole wyvern]

Still looking for any response to this

[median escarp]

you want to do maps that are around your level because theres an exp penalty for being too high or low compared to the enemies youre fighting

[spring nymph]

A penalty for being too low ? wow okay

So what will give me the best xp if i'm lv 65 ? a tier 1 lv 65 or a tier 2 v 67 ? Like at how much it starts giving a penalty ?

[median escarp]

same level is gonna give you the most

[spring nymph]

Okayy ty

[wild canopy]

It's definitely good to have, yes. It hasn't changed from previous patches. More rarity means something that may have dropped as an exalt or a chaos orb might drop as a div or annulment. Soft capping around 100% to 120% or so. But rarity shouldn't come at the cost of something like res. You can get rarity through map mods and stuff as well, so just take rarity as an extra bonus on gear as opposed to sacrificing importan life or res mods

[unkempt pine]

hello if i run a t15 it is by default a level 79 zone, if i have +1 monster level icon it turns to 80, is there any way i can get it to 81 without a t16?

*irradiated is the correct word, is there anything else that ups the monster level?

i noticed sometimes i get 81 but i dont know how or when

[wild canopy]

certain corrupted or cleansed maps can also have +1 to area level

[unkempt pine]

like on the actual map?

if I vaal it?

cleansed maps means i have to clear a corrupted nexus? maybe thats it i have one close i will try

[spring nymph]

Okay so I did 1 untainted paradise with a increased pack size map, went from lv 67 to lv 76 xD wtf

[wild canopy]

No like when you hover over different cleansed or corrupted maps (not the waystone), it will sometimes have +1 to area level

[wild canopy]

extra crazy considering the max level is 100

[novel crow]

impressive levelling, sure you're not playing diablo?

[spring nymph]

xD

accidentally put a 1 before the numbers bc im shocked of the xp amounts xD

[wild canopy]

haha i figured. Yeah untainted maps are incredible for leveling

[spring nymph]

and i didnt have any tablet influencing the xp of the map

I know what to do next season when i want to level up new chars lol

xD ?

[stoic spindle]

when it comes to minion lich do you pick a single minion type to build around or do you go for a mix of them? i've got 6 warriors, a sniper, an arsonist, a brute, and a cleric. my dps is garbage

[gaunt creek]

skele warriors are not good , focus on snipers or arsonists,storm mages.. there's a lich storm mage maxroll build by helm breaker that looks good

a lot of ppl are play infernalist spectres myself included

[stoic spindle]

oof. i don't really wanna re-roll right now

storm mages it is then

i've heard good things

[spring nymph]

Hmm i'm kinda lost, i'm currently following a build but it says theres 10 skills in the build while the maximum is 9

Am i doing something wrong ?
https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/perra/builds/fgkorbyn21-s-one-shot-hollow-palm-monk-endgame-to-starter-build-guide-wip

[median escarp]

youre limited to 9 skill gems by default

you can increase that with unset rings

but you can also get skills from ascendancies or from items

[spring nymph]

He doesnt have any

[gaunt creek]

unbound avatar is from ascendancy

[spring nymph]

Unbound is only in the non endgame build

Endgame uses this

11 skills while using elemental from ascendancy

[gaunt creek]

elemental expression is from ascendancy

[spring nymph]

#2┃after-acts-help message

[median escarp]

the build says you choose which herald to skip

[spring nymph]

Huh really ?

[median escarp]

herald of ash is the least useful one

oh he says that if you dont have enough spirit

did you watch the video at all?

[spring nymph]

He uses all in his video

[median escarp]

he tells you that you need an unset ring if you want to use mantra

[spring nymph]

I did multiple times but my english isnt extremely good so i wont be able to say every word he said in his vid

[spring nymph]

Damn

But he doesnt use it himself so i guess its ok ?

Hmm so yes it looks like he uses it only for bosses

Okayy welp

Its fine

[crisp pine]

do some corruption spots have no nexus?

[spring nymph]

If i die in a untained paradise map, if i enter again will i still have the bonus xp from the unique map ?

[raw wolf]

u can enter only once in the unique map

[spring nymph]

Wow...

[rich thicket]

is merc good for t3 sim farm ?

[patent rivet]

is there any place where i can buy like a tab of bases? at once

[patent rivet]

ok ty

[polar trellis]

any ideas why my mana always starts at 0 when entering a new zone? its just annoying

[spring nymph]

Okay so I have a build question, is there any other source to Critical bonus multiplier than passive tree ? (I have the same skill support gems)

I have 3 more nodes about critical bonus than my pob and it says 295% bonus while i have only 200% on my spell description.

[amber helm]

weapon, gloves, ammy can have crit multi

[spring nymph]

I use hollow palm build and all the items are ported from my current build

[slate horizon]

is there any way to get my max volatility fast?

[patent rivet]

how do i target farm ilvl 80+ bases

[spring nymph]

Okay so I just updated and imported my real current current build and now it displays 419% crit bonus...

I'm so lost

[amber helm]

tooltip is fake anyway

it doesnt work with conditional stuff

[spring nymph]

The one in game ?

[wicked creek]

has any had a lvl14 spirit gem drop in the interlude?

[amber helm]

yeah dont put too much value into the ingame tooltip

[spring nymph]

Ah okay lol (I still dont understand where do i get 419% bonus from xD)

[amber helm]

you can click it

like, pob has all the calculations right there

[amber helm]

pob has a breakdown of all your source of crit right there

[spring nymph]

Hmmm

Yeah so it even counts snipers mark yeah okay

[rotund trench]

Yeah, if you have it checked as active in your skills.

[spring nymph]

Ok yeah tyvm all

[near raven]

how bad is this with a 60% evasion rating 🤔

[rotund trench]

I was told that the 5% doesn't apply to honour loss. So honour loss is just based on the amount of damage that actually get's through. So as long as you can recover life/es it should be fine.

[near raven]

yeah but its cumulative

im at the beginning of the 3rd floor

this is the alternative

[rotund trench]

that is bad

[near raven]

just avoid afflictions 4head

idk looks like im fucked either way

[polar trellis]

Anyone?

[rotund trench]

what do you mean cumulative? It's not 'lose max life' etc.

[near raven]

is it not? I was sure it was

[rotund trench]

na, that would be crazy

[near raven]

#2┃new-player-in-campaign-help message

I think they just meant the affliction is permenant, not that it permenantly removes life etc.

[charred gyro]

Can I complete the first sekema trial if want to swap my whole ascend, or must it be the fourth?

[whole wyvern]

We get 100 spirit from the campaign right?

[near raven]

REEEEEEEEEEE

[whole wyvern]

Can anybody list exactly where?

[dusky star]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/permanent-stats-from-campaign

[charred gyro]

Act 1 the ritual thing, Act 3 the Bog, interludes the one on the right

[rotund trench]

Yeah, I think to change ascendancy you need to complete to your current level. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[charred gyro]

why GGG....

[rotund trench]

To change your ascendancy class, you must complete an Ascension Trial of at least the highest difficulty you've already completed (Ex. if you have 4 Ascendancy points, you need to complete a Trial of Sekhemas with 2 floors or a Trial of Chaos with 7 trials), then use the Altar of Ascendancy with all your Ascendancy passives unallocated. Passives can be unallocated during the trial by speaking with Balbala, the Advisor or The Trialmaster.

[exotic wren]

Just bought an okay-ish amulet, what's the best way to improve it? Just spamming exalteds or should I try to focus on specific modifiers by using essences?

[rotund trench]

You can try essence and descecration if they have mods you want.

Could also just look for a more filled out amulet that has what you need.

What happens when you run a delirious waystone on a map that has a delirium mirror? Do you still have the mirror and have sort of double fog for that part?

[jagged hound]

How?

[rotund trench]

Is it actually slowing you down though?

Look at the bottom of character screen to see if 'move speed modifier' changes.

[jagged hound]

Yes

I didnt need to look at my move speed, i only noticed cuz i slowed to a crawl

[next reef]

im new to the corrupted nexus system is the best thing to do clear the maps around first then nexus? or do the maps stay buffed? after the nexus cleared

[keen valve]

the maps will become cleansed. there is a kinda of little tower spawning in them which gives additional rarity. also you have a chance to spawn a unique boss that drops fracturing orbs

[next reef]

ok so cleansed meaning the oppotunity to get the benefits from coaelsed go away after you run main tower part

[jagged hound]

Huh, 1 and 4?

yes

Hi! How do you know how much your item cost ? I have amulet and ring that i want to sell but idk what's the value

[zenith sigil]

you search for items with similiar stats and price your own somewhere around where the others are

[rotund trench]

market research

[sweet wyvern]

just for the x50 splinters

[zenith sigil]

there are tools like exiled exchange 2 that make the search easy

[vivid mantle]

am I missing something in castaway map, two times now I couldnt leave the boss arena

[zenith sigil]

could be a bugged arena in that map, its been an issue in other maps

fuuuck. so, I'm ed+contagion, I just fucked up an expedition logbook with chaos immune monsters. I'd normally do tons of dmg against them, is there uh, any quick/easy way to convert some of my damage type?

[tiny garnet]

probably a bug

[drifting matrix]

If it was lightning, there is a ring that converts all lightning dmg to cold. major part of my COC/Arc/Comet build

[tiny garnet]

nooope. all chaos

ah, fuck. chaos is end of order, it cant be converted...

[rotund trench]

You might be able to find a temporary piece of gear that adds percent of damage added as TYPE dmg

Might take a while to kill. I did the same thing in exped. with ED/c. Had a little extra fire dmg. I killed a few but it was taking way to long.

[sweet wyvern]

there's no order to conversion in poe2

altho i'm not seeing anything that converts chaos damage

[fickle hawk]

i have a double citadel, planning to use 2 irradiation tablets to get both done but do you just want quantity/rarity of items for citadels? or are their drops like jade isles where they're guarenteed to drop 1 skill gem and you ONLY want rarity?

[scarlet moon]

whats the best way to check item prices while still in game

[rotund trench]

exiled exchange 2 or sidekick

[scarlet moon]

how uh

how do i open ee2

[late moth]

if I am at 3/4 asc points and I wanna respec my ascendancy, is it better to do the 3 point trial or just go for the 4 point trial (prob sekhemas) and respec there while getting my 4 points? Also, what is faster/easier for a warrior? Sekhema or Chaos?

[rotund trench]

Do you mean to price check gear or to just search the market yourself?

[scarlet moon]

i downloaded the app

but it like dont open

[rotund trench]

There should be some instruction on the github page.

[scarlet moon]

im seeing them but im still mad confused

[lusty quartz]

right click > run as admin

assuming you ran the installer

[scarlet moon]

tried that its still not opening lol

i did

[lusty quartz]

reboot and try again

check antivirus nonsense

etc

the classics

[rotund trench]

check your hidden icons, it runs in the background

on the right side of the taskbar

[chrome thistle]

what is a tier 9+ corrupted nexus? I just did a corrupted nexus with tier 15 waystone maxed out on the modifiers, is that not enough?

[lusty quartz]

you can only unlock 1 quest step at a time, so if you were on 6 you now have to do 9 even if you completed it on 15 previously

so basically...do another one 😄

[chrome thistle]

okok thanks

[scarlet moon]

most i can do is run it on browser?

is there a hotkey that might wake it?

immma restart poe

oh it downloaded something

[rotund trench]

In game, I think the default is shift-space

[fickle hawk]

anyone? not touching this tower til i know what's best

[scarlet moon]

oh shit it said its running in the background

how do i do this

[rotund trench]

I wouldn't worry about that. That's just to copy your poe1 settings.

[scarlet moon]

what about this

[rotund trench]

Where are you seeing that?

[scarlet moon]

on the github page

[lusty quartz]

again,t hats only if you did the settings override

[lusty quartz]

which you dont need to do

[scarlet moon]

ahh okay

[rotund trench]

In-game hover over a piece of gear and hit ctrl-V

[scarlet moon]

so restartingn it alone should have just worked

[scarlet moon]

time to try it

[rotund trench]

or maybe ctrl-d. I dont' know what the default is. Or just try shift-space

[novel crow]

With the "if you've dealt a critical hit" does this count if it's a totem that deals the hit?

[fickle flicker]

hey would someone mind hopping on a call so i can screen share i have to pick between a bunch of items i just want to know which i can sell for the most or i can send pics of them all

[rotund trench]

Usually, if it says "you" then totems, minions and such don't count.

[lusty quartz]

dont spend other people's time on that, just check the trade site yourself or use a price checking tool

[mint frigate]

There is one selling at 7 divines with +5 to all attributes, how many divines can i ask for this?

Are you seeing what im seeing how much can I get with 1 divine orbs should I convert it to exalted orbs?

I can get 1,052 exalted orbs for it

did you defeat the trialmaster?

[timber wren]

Okay, silly question but help me out...
I haven't played much since 0.1, so I dove back into 0.3 to catch up on the new stuff.
I just hit maps and noticed that we now have 6 lives instead of just 1?? When did this change? Does it stay this way or scale with map level or something? I can't seem to find anything about it on google, but maybe I'm not searching for the right thing...

[amber helm]

it scales with the number of modifiers on the map

so more mods = less portals

also you can go in and out without expending portals (only expend on revive after death)

[timber wren]

Oh interesting... does it tell you or are you just doing the math on the number of modifiers? Like 6-#mods?

Kinda funny... harder the map, fewer the tries

Hey people who have used the merchant tabs have you felt like you need several or has 1 generally done the trick?

[zenith sigil]

i have multiple, but technically i think 1 would be fine for like 90% of the stuff

where multiple become useful is when you are selling stuff that ppl want to buy multiple off, like bases or tablets, so you put those alltogether in a tab, and that gets you a bunch of sales

Hey guys, I can't really bother to juice my maps as well (taking care of looking for towers is up to what I'm able to do).
That means I need to buy my wasytones. What do you suggest looking for? I can do most of t15s, no matter the affixes.

At the moment in my Search Filter I just have:

• Waystone tier: Min 15
• Waystone IIR: Min 80

Is there any mod I should be always looking for to get the proper juice? I mostly run 2/3 towers setups, just with 6-7% quant tablets (ritual, irradiated, breach).

% increased ev and es

with 101 to 110 filters

hmmm, yeah, I'm not sure how to force that one.

You could exclude the hybrid

does anyone have any tips on what else I could use for damage other than primal strikes in terms of bossing? I tried winging the setup with Ritualist and it's really doing well but bossing seems like it needs a little improvement. I'm currently use boosted storm lance then spam lightning spear.

[rotund trench]

gnawed can be used on ilvl <= 64. Ancient adds mod with min modifier ilvl 40.

I guess preserved is any item and full pool of mods.

Can you be more specific?

Are your resists ok? is es high enough, es regen, delay?

Put Overabundance on effigy, possibly allocate Blackflame Covenant and socket Flame Wall, drop minions and get Withering Presence

[rotund trench]

I think chaos bolt is really nice also

[cinder skiff]

i just hit 70 and started atlas stuff. so its about time to spend time tweaking my build methinks

[rotund trench]

for boss I replace whithering presence with ravenous swarm and choas bolt

[cinder skiff]

i think itll help once i get higher gems 😂

slow build is best build imo

[rotund trench]

Your build is in a better place than mine, I can't advise 🙂

I mean obviously it wouldn't hurt to get cold res up and get +30 over 75 for elem weakness.

[cinder skiff]

poe trade is a good thing if you cant farm the drops but have currency to spend. i had to bc for the life of me i couldn't find ANY cold gear this last week lol

[olive pasture]

are maps bugged? I started a map with Abyss and Ritual, and there were 0 Rituals?

[raw ivy]

why is a 3socket corrupted spear valuable? you cant change it anyways can you?

[bitter moss]

lowkey i feel like EDC is super good in campaign, early endgame but then I feel like it kinda just stays the same. I’d suggest looking into a bloodmage or a last lament build if you have the currency

i’ve been able to do all content easily on both builds with a 60d budget

follow Sowza’s

[coral root]

Can we re-attempt citadel boss? Like re-enter the node with new tablet?

[main vault]

If I'm using the Blackflame Covenant passive to convert all fire damage to chaos damage, does this get applied before that conversion? Or does this effectively do nothing?

[sweet wyvern]

converted damage no longer scales from the damage type it was

[unkempt pine]

does this mean like 100% mana?

[sweet wyvern]

yes

[unkempt pine]

oh then its not to good

im trying to figure out my last mod for my wand on ssf

[wary oxide]

any way to avoid/fix the CrowBell bug?
I just realised that I won't be able to cleanse the area that I've already set up, because the most central node is BloomingFields with a boss

[calm rapids]

Guys I have 22 passive points I have 3 classes all of them is 22 I never got the 24 anyone knows any hidden one

[rotund trench]

How long is the exalt/div ratio likely to keep increasing?

[fossil matrix]

last one from hooded?

[olive pasture]

Any way to reset the Atlas?

i realized the atlas is stuck in time between characters and it really bothers me i want it to be unique for each character that gets to maps

[calm rapids]

omg what a clutch

Ty og

[vale sun]

I wanna sell all my tablets (i have too much rn), i would like to just put them in for 1 ex each, but i know that some would be worth much more, is there something i can put into the searchbar to quickly find some that are better? Dont wanna go through each one

[waxen marlin]

Is there supposed to be something here?

[arctic crag]

If you know what you want to search for, then you can do a regex search in your stash?

[vale sun]

i dont tho, i am not sure what is good on tablets, i just know that quantity in maps is really good, so i know that those are worth a bit more

[arctic crag]

Ah ok, well knowing what’s good is really what trade league is tho. I don’t do a lot of mapping and idk how many Strats are there. However in my main endgame activity, sekhemas I would know what relic or drop is worth something. Sometimes you have to spend like a hour or two to learn as it might make a big difference, like I had to look at what time-lost sapphires were valuable by going through a bunch of build guides and Poe.ninja builds

[inland juniper]

I am a bit stuck on Fubgun's LA build, I want to swap to the EV/ES hybrid, but in his tree he is swapping out of not only a ton of EV but also swapping out of companion dmg, but we're still using the rhoa mount, so wouldn't that lose me a ton of dmg?

[vale sun]

you just make me realize that there is more than mapping

[arctic crag]

Not much in poe2 but yes a couple other decent strats. If you have really high single target DPS just farming pinnacle boss is also a thing but idk how valuable in current meta.

[inland juniper]

How do I do this

[vale sun]

https://www.aoeah.com/news/3726--poe-2-anoint-list-distilled-emotions-combinations--how-to-anoint-amulet

[amber helm]

why would you use that

[turbid garnet]

in poe 1 I'd usually save around 100d if I wanted to do big jackpot pinnacles because you WILL have periods where you'll drop nothing

[amber helm]

just go to poedb or ingame or pob

[turbid garnet]

and from what I saw on poe 2

[vale sun]

You press right click on those distilled things and put those in the correct order

[turbid garnet]

xesht and king is consistent currency, expedition and arbiter is pretty much either jackpot or you waste money territory

[inland juniper]

You can only anoint amulets?

[amber helm]

and waystones

[inland juniper]

The build says to have serrated edges + subterfuge mask, then how?

[olive pasture]

what in the actual endgame update

[amber helm]

#2┃general / #2┃early-access

[cobalt plover]

is the reliquery vault always lvl 65?

[wraith surge]

can you put more than one item in here?

[cobalt plover]

yes

[wraith surge]

what can you insert?

[queen cloak]

Agne said 100% that i sold an item, there was the notification, but upon coming back to my hideout there was no reward and the item is still there..

Is that a bug? Or can people return items somehow? O.o

[vale sun]

honour res also caps at 75?

[queen cloak]

Yes but you can go beyond that

This mod

[sweet wyvern]

up to 90%

[vale sun]

that sounds expensive

[sweet wyvern]

it's not actually

[queen cloak]

No-no, they are cheap! Thankfully

Luckily for us

[vale sun]

so we are at the same page

what is not expensive for you guys?

[sweet wyvern]

people that farm sanctum don't care about honour resistance

[vale sun]

really?

[sweet wyvern]

mhm. i'm doing desperate alliance runs without resistance

[queen cloak]

You can find them fairly cheap

[vale sun]

oh ok thats cheap

[vale sun]

so you are just good? Cause doesnt it hit too much on your honour if you get hit once?

[sweet wyvern]

i'm also an evasion build

but i also just don't get hit

sometimes i do, but it's not a lot of honour lost

[vale sun]

Do ppl make money with sekeh when they inv ppl for currency to complete?

[sweet wyvern]

maybe. idk anything about carries

[atomic onyx]

I can't seen to activate this skill, I have 30 spirit

can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong?

[fresh junco]

are we talking ingame or real money

[vale sun]

ingame

[fresh junco]

yes it is a great way to farm and make currency

[vale sun]

first time i completed it this season, didnt know it can drop such good stuff

[stark apex]

i had this problem too, for some reason I needed more INT than was shown, and that solved it

[atomic onyx]

how much Int does it need? i have 178

[rustic fossil]

yoo

is my monolith bugged

cant seem to access it

[vale sun]

do they inv the players once they have reached the last room?

[fresh junco]

yes sir

[queen cloak]

On what ilvl maps can ilvl82 base items drop?

[ripe pumice]

80 only from the boss, 81 from rare and magic mobs as well, 82 from everyone

[vale sun]

If i offer my services for sekhemas, where do i need to go for ppl to join me? I am at the last boss, do i need to go back or what?

do i have to beat him first?

[fresh junco]

so before you go into the actual fight you leave the sekmas and go baack to the area where you put in the barya to start the trial party up with everyone once you have the party go through into the trial again tell them to wait in that room while you go and fight the boss

once the boss is defeated you then ask for currency and they get their ascendency points

[vale sun]

oki

tyvm

[next reef]

is every map after changes if u do highest tier currently on. and then kill the map boss it upgrades u and inceases doryani's tier for sale?

[night zinc]

hey folx... question about doryani vendor restocking. Obviously he restocks whenever you gain a level, but what triggers the map tier he stocks to go up?

(which i think is what the previous poster was asking, but i'm not quite sure)

[upper bay]

bruhh i cant access the tower

so annoying

[sweet wyvern]

(you won't have to soon)

[upper bay]

yes hahaha

[formal delta]

This is probably a dumb question but I just got to endgame maps - I'm looking to swap to a new build because it sounds more fun, but it takes like 5 div to get up and running on that build. Is there any shortcut to getting there or do I just need to get lucky with map drops? I'm seeing like 356 ex for a div and right now I think I have 35

Do I just need to grind maps with my current build and make small improvements on a budget while saving for the necessary pieces?

[arctic crag]

Just pure currency drop is usually not a good strategy, most of the times you want to pick a mechanic say ritual and then farm that in maps and try to trade the things you get from that mechanic for currency.

[formal delta]

Ah got it, so idea would be to just hone in on one thing to gather a bunch of some resource and trade those at the currency exchange for the currency I need for the build?

[queen cloak]

Man, i can't wait for the patch 🙁

[formal delta]

I'm new to endgame poe I played like 1 earlier season and I think I saw maybe 1 div so seeing a build say 5 div to get started is very daunting

[arctic crag]

What's gonna be in the patch? I was busy the past couple days and missed it.

[sweet wyvern]

towers gone

[arctic crag]

oh wow

so all tablets?

[sweet wyvern]

tablets have limited number of uses. applied to map directly

[arctic crag]

yea read more about how to better farm each mechanic and pick one that you think you like and your build can do well. Essences and strongboxes are directly on atlas so you can always add them too.

I just logged off from the game but can you reforge 3 uniques to get a reroll? Like the poe1 vendor recipe?

[proud comet]

Looking for carry to run few untainted paradise maps T15 pack size 80+ 0 revive
better to be able to clear screen wide so my ungeared alt wouldnt struggle
IGN : @ICARUSSAA inv for untainted paradise

[sweet wyvern]

#2┃looking-for-group

[shell crag]

anyone doing 3rd and 4th acendency boosting? dm me

[fickle hawk]

i have a 2 tower jade isle, is it only rarity that affects rakiata? it's not waystone drop or something dumb right

i know quantity doesn't matter, the boss can only drop one skill gem and guarenteed one anyway

[arctic crag]

So after patch you can do jade isles infinite number of times?

Like pay 3-4d or whatever the tablet costs per run

[arctic crag]

The boss is guaranteed to drop one but do we know if there are tiers for lineage gems and if there are does rarity affect it?

[fading timber]

How long will it take to get to lvl 80?

I traded for this

[rotund trench]

Not long, just keep grinding.

[arctic crag]

From Nothing only lets you allocate passives and you cannot allocate travel/attribute nodes or jewel socket, correct?

[safe drum]

how do I equip my cosmic turtle hideout, doesnt look like I can yet?.

[daring python]

so, it looks like I'm stuck in the bossfight in a Blooming Field map... anyone know how to get out of it? Black Crow isn't taking damage, I think because I froze him during a phase change...

[long sonnet]

it's known to be a bugged boss fight unfortunately

[daring python]

Well dangit. Thanks for confirming - looks like I have to die, since I can't portal :/

[frozen obsidian]

im stuck on ascendancy 4 its too hard 🙁

[rotund trench]

Just put it off until later.

[daring python]

What level, and what HP?

[frozen obsidian]

im level 81 but im using the amazon hollow palm bubild so i only have 1300 hp lmfaoooo

28k evasion and 26k deflection tho

my build aint good at sekema

[daring python]

I'm not up to speed on deflection, but yep, that sounds like it would do it. TBH, if you blast maps, you can probably buy better gear faster than becoming expert at sekemas, lol. (also, if you want a few quick levels, Tier15 waystones are pretty cheap, and easy to run white)

[frozen obsidian]

i cant get high honor on my thingy so im cooked lol

honour*

[elfin ingot]

I have a lot of white/basic waypoints what do I do with them?

[grand crag]

uhh guys, this is my second playthrough and I did the interludes in reverse order for funsies, but now i've killed all the bosses, but sin isn't giving me the dialogue to go to the mapping area...

[junior hornet]

return to kingsmarch act 4

[daring python]

if you have more than you can use, try combining them 3:1

[tiny garnet]

... ow. so, the burning citadel boss... is there perhaps a warning for when it decides to explode in fire?

As it just oneshot me

It was off-screen and poof. dead

[rotund trench]

Well I'm 91 and I still haven't done it, although I probably will soon. It's not super important for my build, but it would help.

[frozen obsidian]

someone carried me lol

[rotund trench]

I just tried it once and got super annoyed, because I misread non-unique as unique on an affliction bargain and canceled all my relics.

[hard bramble]

got a pretty noob question. I have neversink lootfilter. Im running t6/7 maps. I keep seing a bunch of bluies and whites that seem pretty useless (not the ones that can be chanced into nice items). Am I not running a strict enough filter (running strict), or am I not understanding the items that are dropping?

for example:

oh. guess I cant post photos... Ilevel 71 boots. Blues. T3 for max life and reduced attribute

[rotund trench]

You will be able to post images after a brief time since you are new. I'm still using strict, but I don't usually look at blues unless they are tier 3 or more or if the lettering is very large or seems very highlighted otherwise. Some whites are like heavy belts are worth quite a bit.

[hard bramble]

yea I get the ones that can be chanced for nice stuff.

The other thing... the t1,2,3 etc in the name of the item when it drops... i dont quite understand that

what are those tiers in reference to

[rotund trench]

They mean that the mods that can roll when you first identify the item are at a higher tier.

[hard bramble]

ahhhh gotcha

[rotund trench]

It's based on the ilvl that the mod can roll at.

There is a little table here that shows the ilvl cutoffs for tier 2-5. For example a Tier 4 unidentified item can only roll mods that require ilvl 35 or higher.

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Rarity#Item_rarity_tier_system

So basically it won't roll really low tier mods.

[hard bramble]

ahhhhhhh I see. thank you!

[sleek mantle]

folks. what does the stats mean? 'remembrancing # songworthy deeds. sounds to me like it doesnt matter at all?

[sweet wyvern]

the number is a seed that determines how passives in the radius are affected

[red temple]

Does anyone have an answer for this?

Almost all my special maps brick

[jagged hound]

Is this gonna give me a shit load of bosses on an overrun map?

[placid sleet]

for last lament galvanic shards build, am i supposed to requiem a boss instantly? or shock arrow into req into shockburst?

[junior hornet]

can you disable sprint entirely?

[stark vine]

does this "always hit" apply to shield skills?

[wind quail]

What's a common farming strat for mapping? I'm not sure how/ when to juice my maps.

[shut slate]

Is the correct way to build your character to first focus on your skills, then upgrade gear with self found stuff, then farm currency and buy gear that is "good enough" until you hit a wall and then must find the perfect gear for each slot?
Like I'm level 75 and spending between 50 and 100 exalts on some items which are not perfect, but still good to improve my character.

[zenith sigil]

some ppl just buy stuff the moment they can afford any reasonable upgrade

others dont trade at all

its personal preference how you approach this

do whats most fun for you

[stuck cobalt]

how do i get keystones like chainbreaker in poe2? it says i need a timelessjewel but its not like chainbreaker is a suffix or prefix

[sweet wyvern]

the keystone change is based on the proper name on the jewel

[dusky star]

also chainbreaker doesn't exist in poe2 right? so may want to mention the poe2 keystone you are interested in

[shell coral]

how can i use the same weapon for both sets ?

[sweet wyvern]

above your weapon, right click the I II

[shell coral]

thx

[undone merlin]

what does reflects opposite ring mirrored mean on kalandras touch ring?

[sweet wyvern]

kalandra's ring will copy the other ring with the same stats

[restive pond]

and it does not work on Ritualist's third ring

[sweet wyvern]

right

[restive pond]

or left

[undone merlin]

oh ok. read to me like it was oppisite ring inverted stats

looks like i need to find a diferent build to aspire to. several pieces of this dudes gear cost 20 div for each piece

[candid flicker]

With spirit management, is it better for minion ant build to get to 5 ants or split some spirt to have 4 ants and maybe 4 zealots?

[polar trellis]

how do i hide this stuff?

i know it was a setting thing but i dont know which menu

[zenith sigil]

there should be an option in settings to hide quest stuff

probably in the ui tab

[inland juniper]

How tovendor uniques for chance shards? I only get gold

[zenith sigil]

you need to do disenchant

not sell

[inland juniper]

oh I never knew thanks

[undone merlin]

Well that maps a bust. Just got a abyss Spearman that was armored, regening life, shroudwalker with an acid pool. Luckily I had a portal up nearby was able to escape. Some of these bitches cheating

[round siren]

how do the chests in the abyss depths work? do the chests depend on rares killed? can later rares count after going near the chest area?

[undone merlin]

did they change something so that bleshemy doesnt show the curses on enemies? or is just not working for some reason. it is activated

[round siren]

there should be a debuff icon on the hp bar

[undone merlin]

i figured it out. my curse needs a better gem. forgot it only works up to certain level

also explains why ive been dying more often recently

[sudden marsh]

am lvl81 is it normal that i havent droped a single d

[dusky star]

fairly normal, maybe slightly below "average rng" but eh, nothing to stress over

my guess would be about average

[pale epoch]

how do i get lvl 80 map? just +1 in towers?

[woven cairn]

t16 maps can reach lv 80

[round siren]

does anyone have info on this?

[gaunt creek]

I think the chests in the depth are set , I always find them in the same areas

[obtuse sandal]

Does the map randomly change some of its stuff sometimes? I refuse to believe i had an untainted paradise and moment of zen so close to start without seeing them especially when i have been hunting unique maps abit.

[round siren]

I mean the number of chests that are unlocked. you can see some chests beside the openable ones

[analog magnet]

is it possible to see affix tiers when hovering by default?

[waxen marlin]

Can I get these from the Delirium somehow?

[gaunt creek]

only by pressing alt

[lusty quartz]

they drop immediately each time the level increases, so you are getting them

[arctic crag]

Delirium is kinda rough for my build, I don't seem to proc herald of ice that much on deli monsters specifically. I googled and there was a reddit thread about how simulacrum monsters don't shatter because they have no dead bodies to shatter, but then people tell me it is the ailment threshold for delirium in maps that is high and hence I am not proc'ing herald that often. I gotta pay attention to find out which is true.

[mint dirge]

does Against the Darkness drop from Zarokh without the Desperate Alliance vase? or is that a requirement?

[twilit lichen]

T15 maps are lvl 79. Irradiated tablets add +1, and corrupted areas also add +1

[hollow scaffold]

is it correct that running delirious waystones removes the value of having a mirror on a map? it looks like no mirror spawns and you lose the distilled emotions

[hollow schooner]

So you have to get a certain distance into the Atlas before unlocking the 3rd and 4rth Ascendancy point options? I've found fk-all for trial tokens so far, and the few I have specifically say they're not going to give additional points.

[hollow scaffold]

they need to be a certain item level. i have some extra if you want one

[dusky star]

they're rng, you can get the 3rd one (for sekhema) before maps (late campaign)

[hollow schooner]

I appreciate the offer, but SSF 🫂

[dusky star]

as ssf you can probably be unlucky

[twilit lichen]

Generally you want to instill the emotions yourself for the boosts, and you want the start mirror from a delirious node for farming emotions. Delirious maps can spawn the bosses that drop emotions too, but less consistent

[hollow scaffold]

Haha you're a better exile than me, friend. Yeah, it's based on the ilvl of the barya/inscribed ultimatum so you wont see em until you get into higher tier waystones

[hollow scaffold]

Got it. I keep getting the drops because I guess I have those passives set but it sounds like maybe that's not the best way to go

[twilit lichen]

They’re good for just generally boosting drops on your map. But if you want delirium specific drops, it’s best to not use them

[hollow schooner]

Yeah, I have a total of 3 Barya and 2 Ultimatum. Highest is Lvl 54.

[hollow scaffold]

Thank you!

[timid violet]

Is there any discord dedicated to Ascendancy runs?

trade chat seems like a scam xD

[turbid shell]

okay I've done over 100 maps and can't find another stone citadel. what do I do?

failed it last week still haven't found another.

[dusky star]

best way to get it without scams is probably tft (the forbidden trove) discord

or only pay after the run

[dusky star]

if it's any consolation, they're going to be a lot more common in 3.1

[amber helm]

trade chat will gouge you and scam

[dusky star]

ye, TFT tends to be the cheapest too

[timid violet]

Thanks! 😄

holy sht.. that's a lot of subchannels in TFT XDD

[dusky star]

yeah, it's a bit overwhelming at first, but eventually it makes sense

[timid violet]

I just had a stroke...

haha

let me see if I can figure it out

Found it 😄

[devout pendant]

Can someone help to get XP with the XP Island?

[winged glade]

is it better to craft waystones with omen of putrification or trying to only desecrate prefix method?

[hot leaf]

Can someone explain why my physical damage on Spiral Volley goes DOWN when I equip this ring? As in I have more physical damage on my sheet with an empty slot

[arctic crag]

Interesting, let me check the skill

[undone merlin]

any idea why only the second curse i have socketed in blasphemy is showing on enemy healthbar?

[terse spruce]

Check the description of the curse. Your skill gem might need to be a higher level

[arctic crag]

Can you show the before and after stats?

[hot leaf]

sure, one sec

[undone merlin]

theyre both working it seems but only one at a time

as i m backing up its switching

[median escarp]

have you increased your curse limit?

[arctic crag]

So in the first picture the lack of ring is disabling aconc looks like, so just guessing, your physical gets converted if it is active

[undone merlin]

nope dint know was limit. thx

[hot leaf]

I think that's just because I have my second weapon set on and aconc needs an empty hand I think?

[arctic crag]

yea forget about aconc sry, just the idea in general, is the lack of the ring disabling any conversion supports?

hmm doesnt look like it, you do have very few supports vs limits

brb, I am curious about it, I am in a meeting and will be back and look at it clearly

[hot leaf]

Sure thing, thanks for taking the time! Have fun 😄

[dapper frost]

Hey guys, I’m new to Path of Exile 2 and I’m really enjoying the game. However, I noticed there are lots of stash tabs available to buy, and I’m a bit confused about which ones are actually worth getting. I also saw the Merchant Extra tab, but I’m not sure what to buy first or which tabs are useful for trading and other purposes?

[hot leaf]

If you buy anything, I think the minimum that is really useful is a currency tab and a merchant tab if you play trade
