[timid tide]

Guys, what's AGT in poe 2?

[viral stratus]

Trade league can be tough if you are behind the curve. Buying gear favors the early achievers, but rng can get you a lucky drop still. Most builds need to get res capped and the weapon is usually the first major upgrade. Depending on build, unique equipment that makes the build function then rare gear to fill in the rest.

[bleak solstice]

Ty

[arctic crag]

Do they mean ATD? Against the darkness? Because AGT is a gloves and doesnt exist in poe2 iirc

[clever remnant]

anyone able to help me with my final ascendency?

[sly swallow]

never heard of such thing

I always recommend to buy most of your items in the campaign for 1 regal/alchemy/vaal each, then buy new items around level 65 for one exalt each, spend more on the weapon if needed, level up to 80 where you can equip all of the items and start buying items for one divine each

get at least 100% rarity and check the price in exalts and chaos orbs, might be a good item for less than a divine

for attacking builds the weapon, rings and gloves are probably the most important, followed by the chest

for spell casters I guess the weapons again, then amulet and the chest

[sly swallow]

I think the "curve" is just the first week, so in the first week items are very cheap and get expensive over time

one month into the league or like right now items are cheap again

it's so much easier to make a full build right now then it was a month ago

[undone merlin]

i thought i was doing pretty good killing stuff but apparently not doing enough dps still. found a stone citadel finally but died cuz was taking too long to kill him. was wondering if any of the unique jewels would make a good difference for me. im unfamiliar with them as ive never found one but figured i could buy one if i knew what to look for. any suggestions?https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/3717uy0g

[viral stratus]

Look for a build guide. One of the best things to boost dps are the lineage support gems. Atalui bloodletting and rakiata flow. Build guides will help

They're expensive from what I hear, I don't do trade league so not sure on prices

[sly swallow]

I am really not sure if atalui would work in a stormweaver build, it could maybe, yeah
in any case you have to invest a lot into crit chance and crit damage to have any sort of damage

you are spending way too many skill points on mana cost, spell damage, archon, small passives etc

you need deadly force, for the jugular, true strike or maybe go for a maligaros setup

[viral stratus]

Someone had a spark build using atalui. More phys spark dps than lightning. Still kills stuff though

[sly swallow]

I think if you cut bloodmages damage abd ES regen in half it will still be strong

so yeah go for atalui

[undone merlin]

i have ci so i dont think bloodletting will work. i do have rakiata flow. looking into deadly force, for the jugular, true strike and a maligaros setup. im not familiar

thx

[proper python]

hi guys, what is a goot strat for low investment and less play time, like 2-3 hours a day after work.

[undone merlin]

ive been using mana tempest to boost me but it does cause me to need lots of mana regen. if i lose it i can lose lot of mana nodes. dont know if itll be enough to get all the way to the crit stuff you mentioned. lets see. ive yet to understand physical spell damage. that just come from wands and focus modifiers?

[queen cloak]

How do people get this with level 20?

[rotund trench]

I think it's very rare to get 20. Not sure what gear level is needed.

[queen cloak]

So it's just random..

And there's no way to reroll it?

[rotund trench]

I don't think so. last lament rolls 16-20 from lvl 77+: https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Granted_skill

[queen cloak]

Hmm..

[rotund trench]

By the way, from yesterday regarding Event Horizon, someone said it stops ES recharge, which would make it useless.

Unless you are have a very low rate of casting

[queen cloak]

That's not an issue, i don't use any chaos skills, i use Original Sin to turn skills into "Chaos" but that doesn't count

[undone merlin]

is all lightning damage considered physical damage?

[rotund trench]

no

it's elemental dmg

[undone merlin]

im trying to learn what physical spell damage is. been reading about it cuz person earlier said i needed increased global physical damage instead of increased lightning damg but dont really understand. i thought i gathered from googling that lightning and fire damage were physical spell damage but now im confused

[simple vortex]

No idea what you googled, but fire, lightning and cold are elemental damage.
Physical spells do physical damage, chaos spells, chaos damage

[dusky star]

a phys spell would be something like bonestorm, for example

[undone merlin]

hmm so why is increased global physical damage prefered over increased lightning damage. if im using 90% lightning spells?

or i misundersttod?

[dusky star]

or the info you got was garbage

or they told you to get phys damage reduction, not inc phys dmg, or countless other reasons

[undone merlin]

i did misread

i got maligaros gloves but it only increased my crit chance to 32 % and my crit dmg bonus went down a bit i think. what should i be shootin for as a crit chance?

[rotund trench]

100%

I mean you got to balance it with everything else, but if your build depends on crits, then higher chance the better.

[undone merlin]

i dont see how thats possible with 30 %increased crit chance only increasing it a tiny bit. ive seen melee weapons with a base percentage increase but dont think ive seen wand with it

[rotund trench]

Spells base depends on the skill

[dusky star]

I imagine most of the ones doing crit spell builds are on a good ascendancy (blood mage) not chrono

[rotund trench]

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Critical_hit#Critical_hit_chance

[undone merlin]

oh i got ya. the changes i made did get my dps up to 30k on spark from like 24k or so.

[dusky star]

good stuff!

[rotund trench]

25% increase, mega

[undone merlin]

lost about 1500 es and the short damage burst from mana tempest though. not sure yet how itll play out

also lost lightning archon

[unborn forum]

??

[sweet wyvern]

it's connected to the 'glacial tarn' area

[unborn forum]

and where is this

[sweet wyvern]

I think it's around the middle of the third interlude

[unborn forum]

now here i lost all that loot from these 2 bosses right ? i killed them but died

[unborn forum]

why icant find this boss and ferryman ?? where are these guys

[rich thicket]

what are the best tablets mods to use since the change?

[rotund trench]

I don't know but this might provide some insight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnYjgd9__iY

[unborn forum]

asking myself

[naive jungle]

Is there a way I can start a new character in the same league without being able to access my stash? I want a fresh character

[rotund trench]

You can try hard core or solo self found, or both.

But I think stash is shared within each category

[naive jungle]

Hardcore is kind of scary, I just want to be able to play a new character but I don't want to be able to pull from my current stash while in the same league

Heck

[rotund trench]

what the f, 3 shrines right next to each other, plus there was another a couple tiles away

[rotund trench]

After you kill a citadel boss, is there any way to get back to the main map?

[green fog]

guys first time playing caster blood mage cold spells, I dont know how to evaluate weapons for caster is it good wand for 100 div?

[rotund trench]

I don't know your build, but that seems expensive to me

If it checks all the tics on your build, I guess maybe, at least it has 2 slots, that's why it's so expensive.

Be worth checking benefit in POB.

[green fog]

ok thx

[rotund trench]

Also, I'd say, if you don't know how to evaluate the benefit of an item, you shouldn't be spending more than a 1 div. Best to understand what the item is either for your build, or crafting, or selling.

[jaunty crystal]

just this wand has kind of bis mods for cold spells, better than this is exceptional base (3 sockets, or 2 sockets and explicit from corruption)

pretty sure there are cheaper wands with slightly weaker mods, but you have to check options and prices to know if its worth 100d or not

[rotund trench]

And if it's for your build check what POB says for this vs say the 5d wand with decent stats. You could pay 20x more for 5% bonus.

[jaunty crystal]

fastest bans on the west

[queen cloak]

Why does everyone craft on the Sleek Jacket base and not Torment?

Is Torment secretly bad somehow?

[jagged hound]

Torment doesnt drop naturally id presume

Some bases are unique only

[queen cloak]

Oh..

[rotund trench]

my ES delay is nutty

[hard bramble]

are higher Tier (1-5) affixes on unidentified items better? Like is 1 the worst and 5 the best?

[vivid linden]

When you have Culmination II on two skills, how does the game decide which one gains combo? I only seem to get combos build up on one of them. Can't you accumulate on two at a time?

[rotund trench]

Yes, higher tier means that lower tier mods are excluded so you have better chance of getting higher tier mods. Only for reveal though.

You can look up the tier cutoffs in the wiki

[rotund trench]

is this relevant "Supported Skills reset their Combo on use"

[vivid linden]

Well I have it on Falling Thunder and never use Falling Thunder, but it rarely ever accumulates combo, so it's not a reset issue.
I also have it on Shattering Palm for Charge generation which I do use.
like https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyss/character/xfactor4life-6123/oneDeathPunch

[rotund trench]

well, it sounds like the combo only accumulates when you do stikes not used by the skill that is supported. Are you doing that?

Supported Skills gain Combo when you successfully Strike Enemies with other Melee Attacks.

So it probably doesn't make sense to have it on two skills

[vivid linden]

Yes Ice Strike.
Ok I opened a new map and now both shattering palm and falling thunder are accumulating combos at the same time... not sure what happened had to be a glitch

[strange vortex]

Do the corrupt enchants also scale with things like ingenuity and ritualist ascendancy points?

[grim vortex]

What do ppl use visions of paradise tablet for now?

[rotund trench]

I think it lets you rerun the map.

adds irradiated

[grim vortex]

Are there specific kinds of nodes that are worth using this on? Does it work on unique maps?

[rotund trench]

I don't know. If some map is very good maybe. not sure if it works on citadels, but that would be good

people might use it for anomoly boss maps

btw, i'm not 100% sure it let's you rerun it, that's just what I think

[hybrid crescent]

i see lots of ED contagion builds using blasphemy and temp chains, but if I run lvl 15 maps + irradiated, its useless b/c it only affects lvl 78 mobs and below? Is there a way to get it to affect lvl 80 mobs>

[rotund trench]

I use it, it's the best thing ever. not sure what you mean by 78 lvl

[hybrid crescent]

it only affects lvl 78 mobs and below, i am running lvl 80 maps so it has no affect

does it need to be maybe a lvl 20 gem to affect lvl 80?

[rotund trench]

what level is your gem?

no

can you paste your blasphemy info?

oh, upgrade temp chains

temp chains has level filter

[hybrid crescent]

yea i just took it out lmao

i swore i upgraded but i guess not

[rotund trench]

It's easy to miss, since it's a "support"

[hybrid crescent]

yea, this lvl 19 one from lvl 11 is nutty XD

[rotund trench]

nice, yeah, it kind of makes the build. if things get heavy you can just run around and spam contagion and effigy and not even use ED

mobs so slow you can just run past them

[tender dagger]

im using an essence drain build. i currently have a wand with +4 chaos and 26% spell damage.

i just got a wand with 103% spell damage with cast speed and has room for more. which wand should i use?

[undone merlin]

this map im in has 6 breaches and im probably less than 1/4 of the way thru the map. whats with this? is there a limit to the number that can spawn?

[rotund trench]

I would recommend installing and learning how to use POB. It can allow you to compare 1 gear vs another.

[tender dagger]

i play on PS5

[rotund trench]

but you have a computer right?

[tender dagger]

it dosent need PoE2 on computer to work does it? lol

[rotund trench]

no

[tender dagger]

well now i feel silly

[rotund trench]

It's a bit of a learning curve, but it's very worth it

[tame kraken]

just finished interludes. starting maps now!! so joining this section!

when i open the maps, i see 4 slots, for 4 waystones? and then what are the three slots that open up in the bottom? like charm slots?

[ripe nest]

They're for the precursor tablets

There are tablets that are associated with breach, ritual, expedition, and then regular precursor ones, and overseer ones

When you slot the tablets in, they make the map have that content. So if you put in a breach tablet, you get a breach hand in the map. If you also put in a ritual one, you get ritual in the map

[tame kraken]

oh got it! in fact, i just got a kaluguran tablet. for expeditions.

[tame kraken]

ty sm for such a detailed expln

[rotund trench]

The 3 extra slots for the waystone do nothing, btw

[ripe nest]

Np. And like Danny said, the 4 slots where you put the waystone don't do anything.

You'd think you could plug in the delirium liquid emotions there, but you instead use those to instill on to the waystone itself. Right clicking a delirium liquid opens that interface

[undone merlin]

there was at least ten breaches in that map. didnt know that could happen. wish id had a t16 stone would have gotten alot of experience

[rotund trench]

If anyone is desecrating their waystones, I made a little table to help think about what to choose:

marked for death, btw

[tame kraken]

wow, u guys are so advanced, its all i can do to apply a trans on a waystone to make it. magic for now. need to get some confidence before I can start juicing the maps

[rotund trench]

eh, i don't juice stuff, just spend all day making tables of desecrated modifers

[acoustic bane]

Thank Danny, reforging bench for 3x maps into 1x of next tier was what i was missing. Finally was able to get out T5s by just making some T6s and then higher tiers started dropping again. Worked up to T12 so far.

[rotund trench]

nice broskee

[acoustic bane]

For anyone playing Lich, what do you once you have Eternal Life in ascendancy and Enhanced Barrier notable? I now always have some ES after removing all gear or equipping Visage of Ayah for Eldritch Battery. It's not the biggest deal, but occasionally take a little hit past ES without dying and the 35% low life health pool is now at like 10%.

Do you just unspec Enhanced Barrier temporarily?

[rotund trench]

do you mean to get low life?

[tame kraken]

oh wait, so thats how we get the next level? i was only getting T1 drops, wondering how to get next tier drops

[rotund trench]

go bro

[acoustic bane]

I imagine if I die, come back with full life, it will also an issue to get back to low life as well. But currently I'm at like 10% life instead of around 35%. Previously I could remove all gear to have zero ES to be able to change life or equip Visage of Ayah for Eldritch Battery.

[acoustic bane]

The map boss can also occasionally drop higher and there's some Atlas Passives to help, but yeah, if you're not getting any higher tier, regorge 3x T1 for 1x T2

[rotund trench]

get titianrot body armour, "you have no life regen"

if you want to adjust life

[acoustic bane]

It's not life regen that's the issue. Eternal Life makes it so Life doesn't change at all when I have ES. And Enhanced Barrier made it so I've always got some ES.

I guess i can just temporarily unspec Enhanced Barrier

[rotund trench]

i put life tap on contagion or whatever, and then use low level spark to get it under 35%

[junior hornet]

Mask of the Stitched Demon

[acoustic bane]

I put Lifetap on a Channeled spell, but yeah, when I have no ES that works

[rotund trench]

i don''t understand the problem

[acoustic bane]

Thanks, that probably would work. I'll try that instead of Visage of Ayah for Eldritch Battery

Yeah that solved it. Thanks, better than unspeccing Enhanced Barrier

[rotund trench]

I have eternal life and enhanced barrier and what I said above works

the armour is titanrot

[acoustic bane]

Plus Stitched Demon?

[rotund trench]

i don't use that. not sure if that works

but you can probably buy that armour for 1x

[acoustic bane]

It was in your picture earlier

[rotund trench]

oh, ok right, yeah

sorry

[acoustic bane]

Both together are taking care of it, thanks everyone

[tame kraken]

sorry mate, but i cant even put the waystone into the recombinator? am i missing something/

[grand crag]

not recombinator

reforging bench

[tame kraken]

ah my bad! thanks

[arctic crag]

it used to be a human, machines took their job

[rotund trench]

machines are good, humans can figure it out

but machines should take over the companies, and distribute the profits to the peoplel

machines are not the problem, people are the problem

[arctic crag]

So, I changed nothing since patch but just got back to doing maps today and did like 10, for some reason the omens are appearing lesser than before

just my luck or was it nerfed?

[peak condor]

which rune is the one at the bottom? ''increased effect of arcane surge on you''

[arctic crag]

https://poe2db.tw/Kurgals_Gaze

you can search in poe2db in the future

[rotund trench]

look up arcane surge in the wiki

[arctic crag]

or wiki yeah

[rotund trench]

it just means that if enemies have arcane surge, then you are resitant to it.

[peak condor]

ahh thanks thanks, why didnt they add it to the exchange since it's a core

[rotund trench]

or actually, wait, i'm not sure what that means. maybe it means your arcane surge is 80% better. fk i don't know

[peak condor]

yeah thats what it means

thanks!

[rotund trench]

yeah, it should be a buff, lol

[rotund trench]

For whoever was asking about how to juice maps, this is how much we don't know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1Yf34P5e60

[tame kraken]

damn! Science and Maths for PoE2???? sheesh

[queen cloak]

Can i use two of these?

Oh, it says limited to one..

[verbal osprey]

Why do i die pretty fast even though i have max res and like 85% armour

[tame kraken]

what is delirium's objective? i just had one, everything went black-and-white, and I didn't know what I was supposed to do

[sweet wyvern]

kill things

thats it

[tame kraken]

lol! fair enough. same as everythign else then

I guess what? I really wanted to ask was why would we want to do delirium

as in, does it have some specific rewards that you should be looking out for?

[sweet wyvern]

mostly distilled emotions

[timid tide]

Guys, does this node affect the stun bar fill speed on Roa?

[sweet wyvern]

wiki says yes

[tame kraken]

so now do we just keep running these waystones? for what? better loot? feels like such a let down after the campaign. at least there we were working twds sth

[sly swallow]

campaign is a tutorial, endgame is a whole world you can only explore parts of

[tame kraken]

so what are we exploring? the maps are just repeat of the zones we had during campaign, again and again

[sly swallow]

I dont understand the question

[tame kraken]

unles i am missing sth. i just started to be fair. i am doing Tier 3 maps now

[sweet wyvern]

they're wondering what the point of the endgame is besides better gear

or like what to do

[tame kraken]

sorry, i meant what are we exploring? because we are not uncovering new areas.

[tame kraken]

Yes, Serenity! You got the nail on its head.

[sly swallow]

the point is to test new mechanics, items, builds, farming strategies and enjoy your build

[sweet wyvern]

higher tier waystones are harder and give better loot. there's endgame bosses for each of the mechanics and then some

[sly swallow]

there is much more to do besides just maps

[tame kraken]

i like to work towards sth - with maps, i am just running them repeatedly becos they are dropping waystones, without knowing why i am running. since everyone is so big on end game, i think i must be missing sth important

[restive pond]

the goal is to get stronger so you can do harder content that drops loot to help you get stronger so you can do harder conent that...

[sly swallow]

you are, you just dont see the full picture yet, give it time

[tame kraken]

ah, so there is still a definite pathway. not just a random thing.

[tame kraken]

yeah thats it...i dont see the full picture, but yes, i will trust it and keep progressing.

[restive pond]

PoE endgame for a lot of people is just volunteering to be Sisyphus

[sly swallow]

with maps you quickly progress towards easy t15/t16, then it takes a while to progress towards juiced t15/t16

[tame kraken]

and juiced is adding a whole lot of mods to it, yeah? just to make life more difficult for us, cos why not? 🤣

[tame kraken]

yep, i feel that rn already

[sly swallow]

yeah

[restive pond]

Of course you can also just become a businessman that dabbles in monster slaying

[tame kraken]

thanks mate! i will keep doing them until i find out why iam doing them. i'm sure such a large community of players cant be wrong, there must be some fun to it. maybe i will find better loot and that makes me happy.

[tame kraken]

oh trade is beyond me.

i do have the premium tabs, and make the odd sale, but doesnt float mah baot

[sly swallow]

you need like a context for currency, farm some, lose some to appreciate the tinks which is like a dopamine hit

a tink is when a divine orb drops for example

and then you need to see a good monster density on a fast build

[tame kraken]

yeah, that context ...could u explain that a bit..cos i think that is what i am looking for

[sly swallow]

a fully juiced map, maxed out atlas

[tame kraken]

like what did u mean by i need a context?

[tame kraken]

my poor mac is struggling on T3...lol! it was hell when i had the vaal guards, lighting up the screen in flames. the mandys are a lot better, but still make hell for my poor computer somtimes

[sly swallow]

you dont know what chase uniques and jewels there are which can be very motivating to work towards, you dont know how good weapons, chests, helmets etc can be, you dont know builds so you are not excited to try some new build idea, thats the context

[sweet wyvern]

you can also farm the trials

[tame kraken]

wow!! Thanks so much @sly swallow i truly mean this. i think i get the picture now. if i am working to get certain type of gear, or even currency to buy the gear, i will be so much more motivated.

[sly swallow]

indeed

[restive pond]

There's also "Powered Zealots" from the Vaal interlude if you want to try something else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKRxmHP8XPE

in case the ants spamming ice in hideout is driving you insane

[tame kraken]

omg!! tell me abt that

i turn them off when i go to hideout

thanks so much @restive pond .imma try these new fellows

once again, my. heartfelt thanks to @sly swallow , @restive pond and my favourite guide @sweet wyvern Thanks for ur patience and guidance.

[junior hornet]

zealots in dark maps

[restive pond]

if there's newer trendier specters I haven't heard about them

[tame kraken]

i tried them. got 10 of the dudes, but they were not as good as 5 of my ants

the ants are crazed fast, and they finish the map in minutes. with these guys, my witch died

i've just learnt to ignore them leaving behind piles of ice and noise

[grim vortex]

does orb of chance work on corrupted bases?

[queen cloak]

Why do i always get the same map mod choices?

Do people use some kind of omen to achieve other mods?

I never get any of these, am i just unlucky?

Oh wait, 10 seconds is "A" tier..

Oh no, it's not x.x I'm tripping

Yeah, i don't get it, every map gets the same shitty mods, are the good ones just that rare?

[umbral glacier]

does anyone know why i can't interact with anything in my hideout when i have a crossbow equipped? I just tested and i cannot even interact with items on the ground in maps

nvm, figured it out, i'm stupid

[neon thorn]

How are people getting to level 95+? These maps offer very little XP, and if you die? OMG forget about it

[keen marsh]

does the cadiros gambit quiver shoot each arrow at the same rate or does it shoot some more than the others… cuz i feel like every other shot is a reversing arrow

[bold mortar]

what drops from sealed vault?

[verbal crescent]

Is there anything I can do against the slowing curse guys?

I died twice on this end game map now to the King Kong looking boss, coz when I get hit by that curse I'm too slow to avoid his ground slamming attack that one shots you ?

[faint bane]

Is that the Thing Next to Citadel’s ?🤨

[bold mortar]

oh no it's the thing that requires the idol of estanzui or whatever its called

[faint bane]

I have only done it Once , I got nothing Intresting , But Good Luck with the Loot😉

[sinful gazelle]

when doing Expedition logbooks which part is the most lucrative? the War Hoards? the remnants that grant more rare monsters? the remnants that grant more rarity to loot? something else?

like, once im in the map what do i look for to get the most out of it

[jaunty crystal]

depends on your atlas passive tree and depends on the buffs you get from gravestones (or whatever these called)

[sinful gazelle]

ive been told by others that the atlas passives has no effect on logbooks and as for your "depends on the gravestones" seriously... this is what i am asking for, what do i look for? what mods are the most lucrative? your answer was basically a "no answer" please only help if you know the answer

[terse spruce]

I always target more rare/magic monsters, pack size, and then the damage ones. You dont want it to be so dangerous that you get 1 shot by a white mob 2 screens away. In the map with strongboxes I try to hit as many of those as I can. But I think the most lucrative thing there is the runic splinters. So getting logbook with "more chest markers" is really good.

[sinful gazelle]

Thanks! 👍

[sinful gazelle]

do you know what this marker drops?

[rotund trench]

May be waystones, but not 100% sure.

[terse spruce]

Sorry, I dont. Might be artifacts?

[undone merlin]

@rotund trench you run bunch of Sekamas trials?

[rotund trench]

No, I just did my ascendancies. I think Serenity and Zed run them.

[undone merlin]

or have friend that does. have lots of barya to give away

k. ill see if i see them . dont really knowthem at all

[sweet wyvern]

I've stopped playing

[undone merlin]

oh ok

[cursive relic]

Have anyone else encountered the tame beast not spawning ? I tried resetting the game, the skill itself, nothing works for me. I play on ps5

[queen cloak]

Serious question - Is there any point in going far in the atlas? Do maps get better?

Are there maps that only appear whenever you move further away from the starting point?

I still can't figure this out

[sweet wyvern]

there's nothing that's based on distance afaik

[queen cloak]

RIP

[vivid coral]

question how does herald of plague work with the pathfinders poison spread ascendancy?

[sinful gazelle]

if you have already found all three citadels then the answer is no, if you have yet to find all three citadels then the answer is yes

[tame kraken]

what are citadels? are they the towers that doryani just mentioned to me?

[sinful gazelle]

no, the towers are just for increased vision

[tame kraken]

increased vision? meaning u will see more map points?

[sinful gazelle]

yeah it reveals more of the atlas when you clear a tower and click the control panel at the end of the map

a citadel is a "city" you can come across that houses a difficult boss in the middle, when you have found 3 different types of these citadels you can fight the final endgame boss

the boss in a citadel will drop a fragment when killed that you need to open/summon the way to the final boss

[tame kraken]

oh ok.

what technically counts as end game?

[sinful gazelle]

citadels grow more common the further out you go from the center

[tame kraken]

i thought finishing campaign means end game. but i realised i was being too naive...lol

[sinful gazelle]

well, technically the atlas and maps count as the beginning of the endgame

but the "endgame" is large, it contains a lot of stuff

there is the citadels and the pinnacle boss, then there is all these map mechanics that have their own bosses at the end of them

[tame kraken]

well, for someone at T3 level of maps, there is a lot to look fwd too. thanks for establishing a clear pathway ahead. it was a bit murky and i had a discussion yday that cleared up some, and today, u have made it all the more appealing to keep chugging away at maps

[cinder niche]

when it comes to staffs will the skill have 5 support gem slots at 19 or does it have to be 20?

[latent wolf]

has to be 20

[cinder niche]

ty

[royal jungle]

yooo

is there a general difference between lvl 77 gemini vs desolate xbow?

aside from gemini loading an additional bolt

[sweet wyvern]

desolate has higher dps and reloads faster

[royal jungle]

is it worth investing in one for 1 div?

[raven river]

can you use a perfect essence on an item that's already desecrated and has 6 modifiers?

[tame kraken]

while doing maps, do u kill all the monsters, or just enough to kill the boss and complete the map?

[raven river]

Your preference, depends on what youre farming I suppose

[tame kraken]

ah, makes sense! thanks

[vale sun]

How much currency do i need for a decent sekhemas setup?

[arctic crag]

not a lot, it is pretty easy to set up early in league even but the profit just kinda fell off compared to mapping in endgame this league

Why is "marked for death" desirable? It feels like an awful mod and iirc we avoid that in poe1. I tried and got killed. Does it affect the waystone implicits like rarity and quantity by a lot?

[undone merlin]

whats the best item to use omen of the ancients on?

[hard bramble]

when you have a node on your atlas that could be swamp, grass, forrest according to POE2, how do you know which it is?

and if you swap out your atlas pasives mid map, will it make the changes for that map?

[grim vortex]

anyone know if this can drop t16 maps? so far haven't found a single one naturally

[hard bramble]

I think thats useless at l15 maps. I think corruption is the only way but I could be wrong

[grim vortex]

good to know thanks

[tame kraken]

i dont get this! for the 3rd set of ascendancy points, how many trials do we need in sekhemas? i got a barya at lvl 60 and it says 3 trials and completing willg ive asendancy points..yet it didnt give me any points at the end.

[sweet wyvern]

what boss did you just fight?

[tame kraken]

the 2 terracotta soldiers

adn then the portal opened up to go out and the altar said "interact to get points" but when i did, i had no points. so i have 2 ascendancy sets, one from the 1st sekhemas and the other from chaos

[sweet wyvern]

you need to do the third floor

[tame kraken]

yikes! maybe i didnt see it? sheesh! i got out ! might have to run it again then?

[sweet wyvern]

yep

there's an exit after each boss to the next floor

[tame kraken]

alright, i'll chalk it upto learning and experience! lol

[hard bramble]

you also need to make sure you have a trial of sekehmas that provides access to the third floor

[tame kraken]

yes, the coin said number of trials:3

i got distracted, someone came by to see me...i had to pause and go..the whole thing threw me off i reckon. nvm, will run it again. after all there are people that farm the trials. didnt find much good stuff tho! lol

[sweet wyvern]

the good stuff is at the end of the 4th floor

[tame kraken]

lol i knew its always one room away from me!

[feral sentinel]

I got to the very last boss for my final points and thought I could pause like everywhere else in the game and ended up dying. I'm so sad

[sweet wyvern]

can't pause during most boss fights

[swift zephyr]

how do I stop minions getting chilled in chill maps?

is there something that I can get that prevents them from getting chill?

I don't care about their res at all since I use a build that weaponswaps fast so they can get an attack off

[torpid wave]

After 50ish sekhmas trials, no grand spectrum chest, is this normal?

I thought the spawn chance is like 3%?

Or is this number wrong

[feral sentinel]

That hasn't been my experience. This was the first time I've seen it happen

[sweet wyvern]

ah. wiki says pinnacle encounters and the zarokh fight

[unborn forum]

guys i got perfect exl should i sell it on exchange market or on my merchant market ??
its for 3 or 4 div or im wrong ?

[junior hornet]

you can't even put it in merchant

[green fog]

Guys does rarity of items found from my gear apply to triggered spells e.g if I kill mobs with CoC comet ?

[sweet wyvern]

yes

[queen cloak]

How much harder would this make my map? Are we speaking of 30% more damage or 300%?

[rotund trench]

You can try starting with 1 to see how it feels.

[rotund trench]

Is this also "yes" for enemies killed by totems, minions etc?

[sweet wyvern]

that i honestly don't know. haven't touched item rarity at all

[rotund trench]

The way it's worded doesn't sound like it's dependent on killing anyway, just general item drop rarity.

[uneven sedge]

anyone got list of best open maps? as in wide open areas to use your best tablets in
they have added lot of new maps this league i cant recognize most of it
maybe there's website show layout of all maps?

[sly swallow]

more like 30%

[shut slate]

is it normal to die a lot on your first simulacra 15 waves ? ( did manage to clear it after reviving like 100 times )

[verbal crescent]

Guys I just completed the Trials of Sekhemas for my 3rd ascension in end game, but when I interact with the altar I don't have my 2 new passive points. Any ideas what do I need to do ?

[rotund trench]

Did you do the 3rd floor?

[verbal crescent]

What is the 3rd floor? I just them again and this time around I had to do the trials twice in order to complete, killed two bosses at the end of each time?

[rotund trench]

For the 3rd ascendency you need to do one more floor. I think you need a lvl 60 barya

[verbal crescent]

Wait. What?

[rotund trench]

If you had a lvl 60+ and and are still in the chest room, look for the entrance to the 3rd floor.

[elfin ingot]

How do you guys go about opening chests in sehkemas? Which chests should I prioritize in endgame? Do you wait for the last room to open them?

[verbal crescent]

I guess I don't and there is no 3rd floor, it just says trial complete interact with the altar to get your ascendancy and nothing

I'm just confused. Why was it nowhere in the game explained that this is what you are supposed to do to begin with?

[rotund trench]

If your barya was < 60 then it would have said right on it that you can't use it to ascend. If it's 60+ it will say you can.

[verbal crescent]

Honestly, this is so stupid.

[rotund trench]

Yeah, it can be a little confusing at first.

[verbal crescent]

Not only that, nowhere in the game says when you are supposed to go and do it.

Like the entire communication between the player and the game is very poor when it comes to the ascensions in the end game

The way I'm pissed right now honestly. Just spend hours of my time doing this, to find out I'm not getting what I came for.....

How do I get Level 60 barya?

[rotund trench]

If you don't already have one, you can buy one. Or you could just wait until one drops. They are pretty common. It makes it easier if they are not too much higher than 60.

But ones close to 60 cost more.

[verbal crescent]

Okay, do I buy them from a merchant in the game or I have to go and trade for it? Coz I completed a few maps and I got couple for the Trials of Chaos but not the Sekhema?

[rotund trench]

You can buy them like how you buy gear etc, not currency. Just search the trade site to see what is available.

[verbal crescent]

Alright we'll see then

[queen cloak]

If i get the "lose 3 minor boons" thing, do i lose anything here? THese seems to be all "major" boons

[arctic crag]

These are all minor boons

Major boons will be shown in a separate category to the left of minor boons. Example of major boons - All seeing eye (full map is revealed), crystal shard (next affliction is converted into minor boon) etc.

[fossil forge]

It says on the trial key whether that trial will give you more points or not.

[verbal crescent]

I guess, it would be the same with trials of chaos ?

[fossil forge]

Yup.

It'll say on them "Completing this trial will/will NOT grant additional ascendancy points."

[verbal crescent]

Yeah. Also is it worth farming some of the campaign areas for exp?

Or just doing more of the maps is better?

[arctic crag]

Better to do the areas with the highest level of monster you can comfortably clear. Idr the exp formula for poe2 but poe2wiki should have it.

[south mirage]

Does anyone use exile exchange 2 for price checking?

[sinful gazelle]

does Rarity% on waystones affect the rewards from unique maps? i.e. Viridian Wildwood, do i get more/better omens from running a map with 130% rarity than one with 20% rarity?

[jolly latch]

If map does not forbid to use Precursor. Yes, it should be good to go.

[vivid horizon]

how can i level up a bit faster after lvl 70? ive found it is going quite alot slower than the levelling in poe 1, not sure if its just because my build sucks or if there is a better way to level

[jolly latch]

More Clearing speed, bigger tier waystones, group up with ppl. Those are pretty good. Then there are precursors with more exp mods, use all three.

[south mirage]

How would I get back to the ziggurat encampment on the endgame so I can complete a quest lol ;D

oh i got it!

[sinful gazelle]

i thought all unique maps forbid the use of precursor tablets?

[sinful gazelle]

if you run map tiers where the monsters are close to you in level, the closer the better and also run maps where you use tablets with your maps that grant extra exp you should be able to get at least 2 levels per map

i did 70 to 84 in like 6 hours doing exactly this

[arctic crag]

May or may not affect omens in viridian wildwood but will obviously affect dropped items etc, effect on some items are just known and others are assumed (like currency), the wiki page is already pretty big, but if you find it easier to consume and are interested, I think dreamcore had a video like a week or two ago about rarity mod.

[tribal mesa]

so 6 mods maps now are only for top end builds?

kinda getting my ass kicked atm lol

[queen cloak]

How much harder is Xesht T3 compared to T1?

[bronze kraken]

is it worth using exalted orbs on waystones?

[sinful gazelle]

The hardest part for me when doing Xesht T3 was getting to the boss before the timer ran out, it also has more spells/skills it uses against you and at least twice the hp

if you cannot kill Xesht T2 in less than 30 seconds you wont have even a chance on T3

since your damage wont be enough to reach the boss before the timer runs out

[queen cloak]

Thanks for the tip

[south tinsel]

hey, someone has a castaway map?

[sudden rover]

I am trying to make a triple flat damage, triple res breach ring. I've gotten this with a lucky recom. Can anyone help me with advice on how to proceed? I know I'll use omen of homogenizing exaltation, but I'm not sure if I should desecrate prefix or suffix. I think suffix bc I could get a chaos + ele res mod but I'm not sure I'm really noob at Crafting

[sour pine]

Do whittles work with orbs of annulment?

[novel crow]

no

just chaos

[sour pine]

How do I fix this ? Only solution is whittles + sinistral erasure ?

[nimble frigate]

whats the best way to get lvl 82 areas? i got one the other day but i didnt even put in a T16 map only T15

[ripe nest]

#2┃crafting-advice

[ripe pumice]

The only way I know is to put a T16, with irradiated/boss tablet and +1 from corruption/cleansed area.
You can still get ilvl 82 items from rare (+1) and bosses (+2) in lower area levels

[slender night]

Juicing question. I plan to take a t15, fully slam it, then chaos it with the rarity omen, then delirium it with 30% rarity. What would my best use of this map be to earn currency? I figure I probably should also get the biome Atlas skill as well

[ripe nest]

Also from abyssal depths

[bronze kraken]

im following this mobalytics build but what on earth does this mean

a gloves belt?? 😭 🙏

[ripe nest]

Darkness enthroned can have runes socketed

It has an affix that says the runes act as if they're in a glove, boot, body armour, or shield

So you want the glove variant

[bronze kraken]

ooh okay thank you

[mighty mountain]

does anyone know if running higher level trials of chaos (like lvl 82 vs 78) give you more/higher tier soul cores?

[bronze kraken]

if i leave the game while in abyssal depths can i come back when i log in?

[obsidian cape]

do tablet bonuses stack? like if i had 3 tablets with 30% increased gold drop, will i have +90% gold drop in maps?

[mighty mountain]

correct, they are additive with each other

[obsidian cape]

so based. ty

[sterile escarp]

Is there some way I can remove this fire damage and replace with something else? Haven't crafted at all before :x. It's a T2 prefix (the other two are T1), just didn't know which omens or items to use

[bold mortar]

i'm using blood of the warrior gargantuan life flask and, i'm wondering if there's an indicator to let me know when it's active?

like some kind of buff indiciator

cause i don't see one where the buffs usually are

[queen cloak]

Why is Blasphemy so small?

Am i crazy..?

[ripe pumice]

It's just the aura visual. The area of effect is bigger, you need to observe when mobs get cursed

[queen cloak]

Ah, okay

Thanks!

[rotund trench]

Yeah, I think it depends on what aura it's using and any AoE modifiers. For example, POB shows my Temp chains with Blasphemy covers the screen.

[queen cloak]

Holy shit

[swift zephyr]

I know what kind of man you are

That's an expensive ass skin

[queen cloak]

It's the only feminine skin in the game, not my fault..

[sudden rover]

Hey guys I'm wondering what a good socketable would be to use in my boots until I get the 5% ms runes. I am a hollowpalm deadeye. Max res already. I could get chaos res nearly capped or I could further pump up my evasion.

I see a lot of people using the rune of grace that lowers ms penalty as you attack, but since I mainly use tempest flurry to clear I'm not sure how helpful that would be for my build.

[south mirage]

im trying to fight the boss at derelict mansion on endgame

I see someone on a piano which is a boss and one dancing but nothing happens

[south mirage]

figured it out xD

[soft gale]

mates, is the % armour applies to ele dmg local to the item or global to all armour?

[ripe nest]

It's global

[rotund trench]

If say you have 1 open prefix and suffixes are full. If you desecrate without using sinistral necromancy is it possible it could remove a suffix and desecrate a suffix?

[swift zephyr]

Desecration does not reroll mods

It's not a chaos orb

[jagged hound]

It will always target an empty mod slot if there is one

Dont need to use Sinistral/Dextral unless slots are full

[rotund trench]

Thanks, yeah, I looked it up on mobylitics. The reason I was unsure is because it will remove an affix if all are full. So I was unsure if it first picked prefix/suffix then ...., but thanks for confirmation.

[oblique holly]

What kind of waystone should I plug in for max EXP?

[sudden rover]

Increased rare monsters is probably the best thing to stack.

[oblique holly]

Does an extra mod = more EXP?

[sudden rover]

Probably. But IDK for certain.

It increases rewards. I assume that means xp and drops

[queen cloak]

I can't find the expedition locker

To use in my hideout..

[spring briar]

Does anyone have tips for trials? I just want my ascendancies but even with max honour/honour resist relics I keep getting screwed over by bs rng

[rotund trench]

There isn't one

[queen cloak]

[rotund trench]

I mean Rog should be able to keep them, since he's all into logistics and stuff.

[cinder niche]

What's the best tablet combo to maximize xp?.

Im using triple xp but it feels bad.

[rotund trench]

More monsters, more magic monsters, more rare monsters should help since you get xp from killing monsters.

[cinder niche]

Okay

[rotund trench]

so waystone important too

[sly swallow]

if your build is strong you probably need to spend a divine on it to pass the 4th trial

just need high damage and life+ES

[zinc zephyr]

Are the blue tier relics unlimited use in trial of sekhemas. Just tryna figure out if it's worth buying these relics if they're just 1x use

[bronze kraken]

These ones? Yes you can reuse them

[grand crag]

exp is based on the monsters rarity, power, and level. extra mods on maps does not impact exp unless it explicitly says so.

[acoustic bane]

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I'm up to T14/T15 maps but still haven't found another corrupted nexus for this quest. There were two near the starting point. I haven't seen any in the mist / fog around the outside. Is there something I should be doing besides just clearing towers to see a larger area?

[sly swallow]

no, you just clear maps and towers until you find the nexus

[acoustic bane]

Alright, thanks

[sly swallow]

and scale up t1 to t15 asap

[acoustic bane]

Yeah I'm at T14/T15 currently

[cinder niche]

Do delirious maps give more xp?

[muted olive]

If I want to change my ascendancy, what do I have to do?

I just did a 1 trial sekema, and the altar doesn't let me do anything

[sweet wyvern]

how many total points do you have?

[muted olive]

all

I think I need to do the final trial again

[sweet wyvern]

you do

[bold mortar]

can someone deny or confirm my understanding?

with constricting command making it that i'm essentially always surrounded, if i take the support gem Defy II, which reads that i can use the skill even with insufficient mana,

that means that it essentialy costs 0 mana

like i can just cast at 0 mana forever

[sweet wyvern]

it still costs mana, but can be used if you don't have enough

[bold mortar]

right sorry so, then if the only skills i need are all supported with Defy II

then i essentially have 0 mana cost

because none of them require any mana

to use the skill

is my undestanding correct

like i shouldn't encounter any problems with monster modifiers or anything messing with that

[sweet wyvern]

more or less, unless you're using some mechanic that cares about mana cost/usage

[bold mortar]

omg this is so interesting

that means i can get rid of mana leech on my spear

and remove the node for elemental mana leech

[tidal spruce]

So I've encountered an issue trying out a minion build, I have skeleton warriors, unearth crawlers, and zombies. I want to 'maintain' my unearth crawlers and zombies at max, but at the top left, I only see 1 portrait that shows the numbers of minions, it seems random whether it's a zombie, a crawler, or a warrior, but there's only ever one. Can I somehow get 1 portrait per minion type? What I want is to be able to see a number of how many zombies and crawlers I have simultaneously at the top left.

[novel crow]

the icons are busted for minions

they show precisely once accurately after login and then after you exit the first map they disappear

I have 21 minions and none show up

[tidal spruce]

It's so hard to track a max for my minions

[novel crow]

log out and in again and try in hideout

[bold mortar]

is it possible to tame a beast with crit aura?

[amber helm]

rip math is hard

[rotund trench]

lul, I thought it has inc chaos dmg, not inc ES 🙂

[modest hazel]

my hexblast says that it does 220k damage but its not doing anything, is there a reason why?

[spring briar]

Anyone got tips on early div farming? Trying to get a Tecrod Undying Hate for my blood mage but only up to 2 div so far lol

[rotund trench]

I messed up a Xesht run with 2 respawns by running ahead of the circle where there were no monsters. But when it timed out I didn't see another way to restart it. When I go back to hideout there are still 3 portals. What do I need to do?

[muted olive]

are you saying you failed to get to the end before the timer ran out?

If so, there is nothing left in the map iirc

if you have another character in maps, you could sign onto them, and try and enter and see what happens, or maybe get someone else to join a party with you, and try and enter

[rotund trench]

I just redid it. Maybe if timer runs out you don't get a respawn.

It didn't let me run all the way to the end btw. Dead end about half way. At that point I ran all the way back and was able to keep it going almost to boss, but missed by a hair.

[zinc zephyr]

What are the best blue relics for sanctum

I only have 1 divine orb for 8 relics. All the ones I see online are people running movement speed/increased quantity of relics relic which are too expensive

[rotund trench]

For farming or just surviving?

[zinc zephyr]

For relic farming

Im just starting out tho and only can invest 1 divine orb to get started

[rotund trench]

Well, just buy a few you can afford and bootstrap to better as you go I suppose.

[zinc zephyr]

Yeah I'm just wondering which relics to buy that are relatively affordable

I can spend about 100 exalts per relic as I have 1 divine orb to spend

[rotund trench]

I mean if you can do the run relatively easily you can probably get relic quant and something other than movement for cheaper

speed is mainly to finish the runs faster

Or just farm something with less upfront cost until you can afford what you want.

If you only have 1 div, you might not be ready to farm sekhemas.

[zinc zephyr]

I was trying to farm maps but lost 6 divines (most of my currency) trying to get tablets and waystones with no currency drops in the maps

So I'm switching to sekhemas now as people on reddit said it's lower investment compared to t16 mapping

[rotund trench]

Well I can't say, I just exalt any random waystone and go.

[zinc zephyr]

Yeah I was trying to min max and everything and got no good currency drops in maps to recoup the costs

So I'm trying to switch methods now to sekhemas farming

[cinder niche]

What boss drops jiquani soul core?. Can it be any of the 3 or a specific round?

[pearl mirage]

Hey guys, I'm having doubts my Cast on Critical is working correctly. I have it socketed with Arc and then 2 support gems to build energy faster, and retain energy after use. I have it activated and am running about watching the % build up in the top left. It hits 100% and ticks over to 0%... but no Arc. I have full mana when this happens, what is going on? Any ideas?

[bronze kraken]

anyone know why convalescence cant be activated? i have it activated in my skills screen but in the hotbar its greyed out

[bronze kraken]

never mind it works, just need to be below max ES to actually have it available

[slate silo]

is there a known site, which shows the damage scaling of levelling gems?

[sweet wyvern]

the wiki?

[slate silo]

idk, does it show the diff between levels of skill gems?

[sweet wyvern]

yes

[slate silo]

looking for a graph or something

nice

got a link?

[sweet wyvern]

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Path_of_Exile_2_Wiki

[slate silo]

where in the wiki is it?

[sweet wyvern]

in the search bar. search for the specific skill

[slate silo]

i found it, thanks!

there isn't really a damage grap though

[sweet wyvern]

you would look at teh gem level progression

[slate silo]

it shows required level, required intelligience and mana cost, but I don't see damage unfortunately. I might be in the wrong place though

[novel crow]

poe2db

https://poe2db.tw/

that wiki

[sweet wyvern]

what skill are you looking for?

[slate silo]

lightining warp

ahh perfect, thanks, thats what i was looking for!

[zinc zephyr]

do keys carry over across floors in trial of sekhemas

For example can I save up keys from floors 1-3 and then spend all my keys on floor 4

[rotund trench]

Regarding the statement in the wiki on Withered "Since each stack applies its effect individually, increased/decreased effect of Withered only takes effect in 20% increments.", I don't completely understand. First of all by "inc/decreased effect of Withered", do they means buffs like "20% increased Withered Magnitude"? Second, why does the fact that Withered stacks apply effects individually, require inc/dec to have breakpoints at 20% increments?

Is it because 5 * 1.19 = 5.95, and it rounds it down?

That wouldn't make since to me since 5% increased would just be dmg * 1.05 and 5.95% should just be dmg * 1.0595

[green fog]

Guys kindly help, who play casters is it good wand for cold mage?

[ripe nest]

Excellent for cold mage

[green fog]

thank you

[acoustic bane]

For Tame Beast does Flesh Piercer still have Haste Aura or is that old info?

Hmm, I guess they're turning into a Plague Harvester after taming, maybe that has something to do with it

[undone merlin]

hey, whats best atlas points setup currently?

[keen acorn]

How do you solve mana issues for LA deadeye?

I got already recover mana on kill gems and mana recovery from phys damage on gear but still doesn't feel right

[acoustic bane]

Thank you, is there a list available of suggested beasts to tame in maps? I grabbed one with Temporal Bubble for now, but would rather have Haste Aura

[rotund trench]

There are youtube videos on how to get haste aura companions this league.

[acoustic bane]

Yeah, I must have found an outdated one based on the info Calulrme linked above

Is there an updated one you recommend?

[rotund trench]

Well there is an ant in interludes that can spawn one, just google it

[acoustic bane]

That's been patched out, apparently

[rotund trench]

oh, sorry. then I don't know

[acoustic bane]

changed in in 0.3.0b https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3840893

One-time Rare Monsters found in the Campaign no longer have their fixed hidden modifiers when used as tamed beasts, or spectres.

[rotund trench]

Well, the Ant's aura mod wasn't hidden so I'm not sure if/how that applies. The Ant would have random mods shown and you would have to respawn until you got what you wanted.

[pallid elk]

heya, got to act 4, and realized my pc can't handle my build

any totem/minion playstyle that doesnt lag too much?

or dots

[acoustic bane]

I leveled as an Essence Drain Lich, using Contagion to spread Essence Drain. Lots of DoTs.

[pallid elk]

do you convert to spark or last lament etc?

[acoustic bane]

I switched from that to trying out a Doedre's Undoing build right now

[pallid elk]

ghazzy's one? how is the build

[acoustic bane]

I don't think it's Ghazzy's, probably some variant. I saw someone mention it on here and found one on maxroll. It's great for map clear, just meh for bosses.

[pallid elk]

nice, ill look into it

[undone merlin]

are living bomb and snap the only way to get fire infusion remnants?

[acoustic bane]

There's also Siphon Elements + Ignite

[undone merlin]

hmm ok thx

[acoustic bane]

I guess Elemental Equilibrium keystone as well, but it would make it random if you got fire

[undone merlin]

i think living bomb will work for me i mis read it.

[acoustic bane]

Oh and Stormweaver Ascendancy has Refracted Infusion

[undone merlin]

ive put energy capacitor and boundless energy in spellslinger but i didnt notice any difference. am i missing something?

[undone merlin]

thx

[tough basin]

Is there a way to level a gem to level 20 if im only level 88?

[strange vortex]

does using a skill "movement penality" count as a slowing debuff, for things that reduce slow debuff effects?

[spring briar]

is this worth anything? don't see any on the trade site and it's my first unique gem

[idle hazel]

All Lineage Supports are on the Currency Exchange, not the trade site.

[spring briar]

ah derp, ty lol

[undone merlin]

whats the best item to use omen of the ancients on?

[ripe nest]

Belt, probably. That's the most common use. But that's when gambling for headhunter. It's not something that you use and it gives you something incredible, unfortunately.

[grim vortex]

How do I get a 5th slot on my wand skill?

[feral sentinel]

On a skill gem or your default weapon attack

[spring briar]

in POB2 what does it mean if a node is highlighted with a red circle but the line to it is still greyed out?

[acoustic bane]

The level 20 Engrave requires 90. But you could use a Mastery Support for +1 level or an item with +level until then.

[spring briar]

nvm it's the search derp

[keen acorn]

it's based on the wands skill level I believe. I think for 5th it has to be a lvl20 weapon skill

[ripe nest]

For a skill that's on a wand (like bone blast or spellslinger or volatile dead), the skill needs to be level 20 on the wand. That will give you 5 slots

[undone merlin]

thats what i was figuring. thx

[rotund trench]

Did you type something in the search bar?

[spring briar]

Nawh i imported it and it had a search set in there. So yeah all good now!

[grim vortex]

Ah I see. What ilvl range can give level 20 skills on sceptre?

[ripe nest]

You can just search for item type sceptre and then in the affixes search put skeletal warrior (or whatever skill like Malice) in and put in min 20

[rotund trench]

0.3.0
Items with inherent Skills can now rarely drop with Skill levels up to level 20 in high-tier Maps.

I don't think there is an item level requirement. It's just a rare drop in higher level maps.

Well, lowest ilvl withered wand with choas bolt lvl 20 is 80 on trade site. So might have some ilvl requirement, or it could just be that it only drops from maps that can drop ilvl 80 gear.

[grim vortex]

ah.. can filter detect that so I don't accidentally hide level 20?

[undone merlin]

i put energy capacitor and boundless energy in spellslinger but i didnt notice any difference. am i missing something?

[queen cloak]

Should i use the Vaal Omen when vaaling gems?

Does it do anything?

[rotund trench]

If the corruption has a chance for no change, it will remove that option from the pool.

[sudden rover]

Is there any deterministic way to get spirit and + melee levels on this?

[novel crow]

no

you can get one of them but it's gonna cost you big time

desecrate with echoes and light to scrub repeatedly; not worth it

[sudden rover]

What would make this the most valuable? I'm thinking cast speed

[novel crow]

prolly the cast speed

[undone merlin]

do energy capacitor and boundless energy not work in spellslinger?

[tight folio]

how do i obtain lvl 19-20 skill gems via maps (not exchange)?

[idle hazel]

They're random drops, do T15-16 maps and you should find a few

[tight folio]

i found one lvl 19 in 100s of T15 maps, thats why i wonder. have the very strict filter but they should be visible

[quartz cradle]

Ive come across about 10-15 lvl19 gems in about 400,000 kills across a few SSF characters, have to be a little frugal if you play more than one build or can die with them in hc

Definitely just grind t15 + irradiated and run those lvl81 logbooks too 👍

If you stack up 20+ lvl 18 gems you can just remove them from the filter and make sure 19s are showing up (highly doubt they'd ever get hidden unless by hand)

[sudden rover]

How would I go about adding triple flat and attk speed to these? My first thought is homogenizing regal and then homogenizing exalts and hope for the best 😅

[half cobalt]

a build i am following says i must 'lock my shield to both weapon sets'. how do i do this? is there a way to use the same shield on both swaps?

[sudden rover]

Yes. On Xbox controller you hover over your shield and hold Y. IDK how on keyboard sorry

[idle hazel]

On PC, you can right click the numbers above the equipped weapon to lock it, a tooltip should pop up when you hover over them to explain it.

[half cobalt]

thank you both, amazing. now my dps is bigger cos i can use the best shield in both resonating and shield wall, yay

[lusty narwhal]

i really like minion builds, is the new hotness the "Spectre: Lost-men Zealot" and how do i find them?

[ripe nest]

New hotness is cocaine ant or gelid/powered zealot

[lusty narwhal]

powered zealot or lost-men zealot?

i have both, just got the lost-men not sure which one i like better

[ripe nest]

Powered bc the ball lightning they throw hits a lot

Granted you can't see the screen, but they clear and they move fast so they aren't playing catch up to you

[lusty narwhal]

projectiles are kind of slow though?

i do sort of like them, should i use muster with them? or are they fine without muster ?

[ripe nest]

Always muster

[kind cypress]

for what reason would you use attack in place option for skills?

[rose dragon]

can u reforge greater runes?

like rune of the chase?

and what about soul core of foulness? won't let me there

[sullen tide]

if you dont want movement to interupt meteor cast or something

[timid tide]

Guys, why is it that not too many people take this node? Isn't it mandatory for clear?

[sweet wyvern]

depends on the skill you're using for clear

and there's other sources of pierce

[timid tide]

Lightning Arrow, what others, hm? Yeah, I mean there're some mods on quiver that give you some % of pierce chance, but that's considered to be thrash mods

[zenith sigil]

also chain tends to be a bit better than pierce for LA

[orchid cradle]

anybody mind giving me a hand on a boss in the interlude rq?

[zenith sigil]

#2┃looking-for-group

[shut slate]

if you fail a map, can you retry it? There was one with waystone 11 req and then ritual alters and then like 10 bosses and of course I got hit with some random instakill ....but I want the Atlas skill points

[novel crow]

You have to redo it if you havent' killed the boss, but you get none of the mods as they're wiped and can't use precursors with it

Usually if you fail a map the thing to do is put in a t1 waystone to clear it quickly and move on...

if you need to traverse it that is

[warm gorge]

will this count for everything giving projectile speed or just what is on the quiver?

[junior hornet]

everything

[warm gorge]

Thanks

[junior hornet]

but take note it's "increases and reductions" so "more" does not apply

[warm gorge]

So if I get 20% more dmg it is not an increase?

[junior hornet]

no, "more projectile speed" will not

for example this support gem, you won't get damage from it

[timid tide]

Guys, can you explain to me this line? Is it downside or what exactly does it mean that projectile doesn't collide? It pierce without damage or what?

[sweet wyvern]

that one's a negative

it goes through targets without doing anything

[timid tide]

Got it, thanks, I'm not sure if I should make it for my Deadeye

[ripe nest]

1/4 shots won't do anything. That's effectively a 25% less damage mod.

The forking and chaining might make it less than 25% (like 20%), but it's not great!

Fun though

The advantage of it is that usually getting chain or fork as a support gives you a big damage penalty like 40% less damage

So if you have NO OTHER ways of getting chain or fork, this mod is decent

[timid tide]

I also thinking about Pierce notable, is it worth it... cause not too much people take it, but theoretically it seems to be very powerfull

[ripe nest]

Pierce is okay. It's not so great on arrows bc their hitbox is small. Chain is usually preferred bc after it hits it auto targets the next enemy.

[jaunty crystal]

from what i understood it still gives projectile speed and thus dmg, just base projectile speed + 40% of that base, no?

[sweet wyvern]

it gives "more" speed, not "increased"

[junior hornet]

no it's "increases and reductions" only, so "more" won't count

wording like this will take both "increased" and "more"

[jaunty crystal]

but i mean if you have 50% base projectile speed, then this "40% more projectile speed" equals "+20% projectile speed", so its "+20% dmg" if you have speed to dmg conversion?

[sweet wyvern]

it's not based on final proj speed

[jaunty crystal]

ah ok

weird, let it be then

[sweet wyvern]

it makes any mod that says 'increased projectile speed' also mean 'increased damage'

[undone merlin]

i honestly miss the hoards of abyss monsters guarding the trove at the end of abyssal depths. it too easy now with just 2 at most. need at least 4 occasionally imo

on different note whats the best atlas setup atm for good loot?

[shut slate]

this was already a special map, no precursor tablets allowed. I will check tonight if I can repeat the node.
I think it said I required to kill 2 bosses, but it was a boss gauntlet with like 10+

[timid tide]

Guys, how much projectile speed should I get to overcome downside of this bow?

[sweet wyvern]

that reduces the max distance a projectile can travel

speed won't help with that

[timid tide]

Thx, I was under impression that proj speed stretch that

[sweet wyvern]

tbh, i don't know for certain. wiki doesn't have any info

[odd imp]

The only way to stack negative rarity is ventors gamble correct?

[undone merlin]

is there a preferred by most people atlas tree setup?

[undone merlin]

fixing to fight jade isles with 3 30% rarity tablets and a 145% rarity t16 stone. wish me luck for a rakiatas flow if yenz would please

[quartz cradle]

Do quant and rarity even influence deadly map bosses in that way? I haven't gotten more than a single lineage gem each time and I also haven't heard of people stacking rarity for them either

[jaunty crystal]

if wasnt patched/fixed then ingenuity belt might still have effect with ventors

[quartz cradle]

I'll do more research later but if your drop from jade isles is always one of those three, then rarity definitely doesn't matter

If it can be one of those three OR a global drop, then I'd be more open to the idea that rarity makes a difference. Either way hope you got your drop 😅

[undone merlin]

thanks. no luck though. google said very rare drop. couldnt find anything useful beyond that

[quartz cradle]

Can you remember which one you got? Curious if it was a global drop or one of the three jade isles

[novel crow]

Special maps you can't redo

[shut slate]

so just dig deeper to find a similar node again

?

[novel crow]

Yes

[radiant skiff]

Hey, is it normal that the Citadels are hidden? I have quite a few maps, but I can’t find them. Also, I watched a video about it, but I don’t see any lights in the fog like they showed - is that normal?

[velvet musk]

U gotta push pretty far, maybe like 30-40 maps in straight line

[rotund trench]

I'm not sure if it's necessary, but, if you haven't, you might try just visiting the burning monolith. It took a little while for me to start seeing them, but now I see lots.

[undone merlin]

sorry im not sure.

[potent pawn]

hello, is haste aura removed from beasts? Maxroll LA deadeye and a guide from mobalytics both calling to ue tambe beast and get beast with haste aura, but i cant find one and google search says its been removed?

[novel crow]

yes

[potent pawn]

so do i usse tame beast or not then?

and do i take the nodes for companions in the skill tree or pass them since aura haste is gone?

[novel crow]

tame beast will take up to 3 monster modifiers, but I can't advise you on that build

[potent pawn]

ok, thx

[quartz cradle]

1. Go to Ashen Forest in the third interlude, bring a couple lvl 9 skill gems
2. Look for a checkpoint in the zone (there are usually 2-3 checkpoints), near which a certain rare mob will spawn
3. Meet your new best friend, Frozen Mandibles. It appears as a rare mob with periodic cold explosions as a passive ability, as well as an ice cage ability that it never uses as a beast or specter. In addition to these cold passives it will have two to three rare modifiers
4. Use your level 9 gems to tame them. Remember you can get the mob low before taming or just mark it and one shot once marked. If you kill the ant or tame it you'll have to reset the zone before farming more.
5. Enjoy, he's fast, durable, regens health quickly, and CAN come with haste aura. Last week I farmed one with Haste Aura + Always Shocks and another one with Haste Aura + Breaks Armour.

And watch out, the fker will take you down quick if you only have 1k life

[quartz cradle]

Haste Aura was only removed on certain beasts like the Quadrilla. The rolling dude, boar, etc all have haste aura 👍

[novel crow]

Nice

Does the frozen mandibles still have haste aura?

[quartz cradle]

Well it's a new mob so yeah, but could get nerfed in December 0.4

[novel crow]

Maybe I should have been running that as a companion instead of the free infernal hound

hrm but that would then be one less summon type for muster so 7% less damage

[quartz cradle]

If you play minions and spend half your spirit on a haste aura idk about the math on that lol...

Definitely keep doggo for muster and loyalty, pretty sure you can make it giant for no spirit cost as well

[novel crow]

yeah I have, I'm pretty happy with my minions, only need +3 spectre levels to complete the build but that's uber expensive

[bold mortar]

how come i can't search/filter by charm in the trade site or in game trade search

[timid tide]

Guys, what do you think — is it still worth farming Lightless Void and Dark Domain? Considering that Kulemak runs cost basically nothing now... I mean, is there still a chance to drop something useful from those bosses, like an Omen of Light?

[warm fractal]

I did 50 Kulemaks and I didn't drop 1 single omen so I think no.

People grind it for timeless jewels, some of them are worth a pretty penny

[flat void]

is tecrod still worth it grinding that though?

[novel crow]

tecrod's price is pretty fixed

[queen cloak]

We still can't use two irridated tablets, right?

[drowsy tusk]

Anyone knows what the "Magic" shrine in the Atlas Map means?

[grand crag]

screenshot?

[heavy cave]

is there a way to increase slot support gems for elemental expression?

[median escarp]

is that an ascendancy skill? if so its based on character level

[arctic crag]

I think so

then it would be level 90 max sockets

[sinful mango]

where tf to go in endgame? ive been essentially going whereever i see towers... took out like 4 and i havent gotten 1 of them 3 squares to get into monolith... 🤔 is there some sort of indication on where tf to go, what to do? im guessing this monolith places is like the last boss to endgame?

[quartz cradle]

Yup, he's literally the "final boss" so to speak, although folks can make map bosses just as hard if not harder thanks to a combination of methods

As you explore the atlas you will come across colored beams of light that indicate a Citadel is nearby. There are three citadels, all requiring tier 15 waystones to access so if you come across them now you have something to work towards.

TLDR you could spend hundreds of hours on a character and never beat the boss of the monolith, keep it in the back of your mind but don't stress over it.

[sinful mango]

ah ok. 🤔 i need to upgrade my stuff then cause if you are saying you need teir 15 to access... and im starting to take too much damage with a teir 2..

[quartz cradle]

As far as what else to do, your Atlas skill tree should explain some things. You can hover over the X/40 points to read how to get points, and you can hover the same boss section to read about those points. Stuff on the side are called league mechanics and again, more reading haha

[sinful mango]

yeah i need to see whatever that is im lost in how to get atlas points. my only issue.. is all these waystones and even the atlas tree are just to make the maps harder... and im like.. isnt it the point to het strong to kake them easier?

[quartz cradle]

Remember, you can run these waystones with a single mod on them, or up to six. You need more mods to get better loot later on but it ain't worth dying over in a tier 2.

Usually you'll end up 8 levels ABOVE your maps until the penalty starts kicking in

[sinful mango]

penalty?

[quartz cradle]

Experience

What level are ya

Near 70?

[sinful mango]

ah ok. what level should i be to even go into waystone 2s? i think i JUST hit 70 with my merc

litterly before coming here

[quartz cradle]

If you are only 4 levels higher than the map you are doing more than fine. Being 8 levels higher is when the penalty starts feeling more noticeable (you will earn less XP if you farm tier 2 waystones as a level 90 character, get it)

Hope that makes more sense

[sinful mango]

so then you want to be 70ish in 1, 80ish in 2 and 90ish in 3? or something?

[quartz cradle]

Tier 1 = level 65 monsters

You are level 70

[sinful mango]

ah ok. so 72 ish go to teir 2

[quartz cradle]

Yup getting it now

Monsters cap out around lvl 82 so eventually you will be more than 8 levels up no matter what you do 😉

All in good time

[sinful mango]

wait so no matter what waystone teir i use... all monster cap out at 82 even if i go to like...90?

[quartz cradle]

Since you are playing softcore you will lose 10% experience per death, but in these low levels don't punish yourself if you start chain dying. This mid game is a great time to experiment

[quartz cradle]

you don't need to be thinking about this right now trust me 😅, but yes. Rare monsters and bosses technically can be higher level but again this is unimportant for now

[sinful mango]

👍

[quartz cradle]

You hit maps at level 65, and at level 78 is when things start "getting real"

Usually you can drop all types of items when the map says monsters are level 78, with some exceptions

[rustic flume]

Is there a way i can reroll this item but keep certain things?

[tight folio]

if i put 3x irradiated on my T15 map, are monsters lvl 82?

[jade oriole]

I’d imagine you wanna keep the spirit and + to projectiles so not really. Fracturing the spirit would give you a chance to reroll the prefixes without fear of losing them. Same with the + to projectiles and your suffix’s but you’ve got low odds of hitting those

[sinful mango]

🤔 hm... so if i want to level up asap i want to run as much "irritated" maps?

[jade oriole]

I thought an irritated map was just Val factory or sun temple

[bleak solstice]

I'm out of waystones. What do I do?

Doryani only sells T14, and I need T1

[sinful mango]

@jade oriole thrm books you can shove into the bottom some of them say thry make the map "irritated" and when i look at the underlined word, it says all monsters are +1 level.

[novel crow]

go do the final act areas

[winged jay]

very noob question
when doing expedition and exploding chests, they disappear as soon as i kill all the monsters around. should i click the chests before i kill all the monsters? or do the chests "open" and spill the loot when i kill all of the monsters?

[sly swallow]

click the chests when you are near them, doesn't matter if before or after

they don't open themselves

[rotund trench]

If you have the Frail Treasures passive they disappear after 5 seconds. If you have that you might want to remove it.

[sly swallow]

the direction is just far away from the center, and what to do depends on you, there are different strategies

[winged jay]

omg i did have it! thank you!!! ❤️
(learning to read the passive skills i select from now on)

[swift sail]

What's an "anomaly map boss"? Corrupted/cleansed areas?

[rotund trench]

They are special maps you run across. You need to visit a few maps around it to unlock it. There is some type of atmospheric noise going on around them. See example image. Check wiki for more info.

[swift sail]

Ah, those. Ok, thanks

[slate silo]

What’s the best way to get started with filters?

[feral sentinel]

Loot filters?

[slate silo]

Yeah

[feral sentinel]

I personally use Neversink filter

This guide helped me

[mental relic]

Do strong boxes drop Perfect Jewelers orbs? If so, is it researchers strong boxes I should spec into on the atlas?

If not, is there a way to increase the chances they appear other than rarity?

Speaking as someone who’s on SSF, thanks

[novel crow]

pretty sure I've seen them drop from researchers, generally higher level

[pine night]

Does anyone knows whats the best chaos single target damage for Witch?

[median glade]

since i have played kingdom come deliverance 2 recently im in the mood for a knight with heavy armour and two handed sword or poleaxe playthrough with skills that are a bit more realistic and less flashy kind of like a hardcore knight playthrough and i wanted to know if such build exists because i think my build will just end up broken if i do it by myself , any feedback and help will be greatly appreciated i like playing this game and chilling after work and gym , thank you for a funny and helpful community ❤️

[sweet wyvern]

swords and axes aren't in the game yet. just maces for now

[gilded haven]

hey bro i linked you to this by mistake i meant to type #1┃after-acts-help xd

[median glade]

ok got it 🙂

[timid tide]

Guys, when I'm farming Jade Isle, do things like delirium juice, item rarity, and other modifiers affect the drop chance of Rakiata? Or can I just run white maps and the chance will be the same?

[novel crow]

there was a debate about that here earlier, people were split over it

I think more said it made no difference

[jade oriole]

I know, the joke is that sun temple and Vaal factory are irritating. I said that because you keep saying irritated. It’s “irradiated”

[tight folio]

im not understanding why i wont get lvl 82 mobs. this is a T16 map, cleansed +1, irradiated +1. it sghould be 82 or not? its inserted into a before patch map, but thats not the problem. cause i did a cleansed T16 from this patch and only lvl 81 too. what am i missing?

[flat void]

Could be mistaken but the +1 is from boss (atlas) which only applies to non-irradiated?

[undone merlin]

is there any way to get fire infused comet to leave a burning area behind?

[tight folio]

dont know, still never been able to get mlvl 82. will have a look at the next one

[queen cloak]

Can someone explain charm slots to me? I'm supposed to have 1 with this belt

And if 2 charms on a belt means 3 slots, then why are there 3 charm slot belts?

[median escarp]

theres a +1 charm slot from one of the permanent upgrade things during the campaign

the one in valley of titans

eventually there will be 6 charm slots

[queen cloak]

So as of right now

3 charm slots on a belt are excessive

[median escarp]

having more than 3 does nothing right now

[queen cloak]

Useless

More than 2, you mean x.x

On the belt

[median escarp]

more than 3 in total

because theres a lot of places you can get extra charm slots from

[queen cloak]

Yes, so this is 3 in total

[median escarp]

the tree

[queen cloak]

Basically

[median escarp]

theres a unique belt that has 5

[sweet wyvern]

iirc, devs said there'll eventually be 6 charm slots

[sly socket]

Hi Guys, im having problem with my scavenged plating. not activating with my herald of ice. Here's my current build

[ripe pumice]

You're not missing anything, the irradiated tablet is not counting to the shown monster level in this screen, but once in map, it will be shown lvl 82

[tight folio]

Much appreciated !

[slate silo]

How do we get the abyssal gem SSf?

[ripe pumice]

I don't know any abyssal gem

[arctic crag]

Do you mean the socketables or the diamond?

[quartz cradle]

Heart of the well or Undying hate? For heart of the well: Stockpile any source of increased rogue exiles, get waystones with overrun desecrated mod, and look for small maps that you can run those waystones on

The goal is to have the rogue exile spawn near the abyss pit, you cannot drag them over from another area and then kill them

Happy hunting, it's very annoying to farm honestly I still save precursor tablets with rogue exiles on them but it's a bit of a pipe dream

For undying hate: get the desecrated waystone mod for abyssal boss and run it like normal, don't have to do anything crazy. Dark domain gives you the invitation then you go fight kulemak and hope for his jewel

[arctic crag]

I got 3 hearts of the well pretty early in league, I think 1 in acts and 2 while progressing maps, but I havent had a lich thing happen since then (mostly did sekhemas but been doing maps lately). I never had exile nodes.

[quartz cradle]

Very similar experience. Duo'd campaign in SC trade and we dropped one heart of the well, then another two in maps over the course of two weeks lol

Then we both went ssf and have had no luck since then, sucks

[arctic crag]

maybe smaller areas early on league causing exile to spawn on abyss cracks, idk. I am not very well versed in map and side mechanics interaction yet, some of these are cool but seem useless. I had omniphobia spawn in 3 ritual altars, seemed to add no value whatsoever (same with exiles), when the boss spawns on an abyss crack, it respawns as a abyss monster but idk what that means in terms of rewards, the few times this happened, always turned into a pit

[slate silo]

thanks, I think I want the undying hate one for the crazy regen buff, soo abyssal boss from waystone desecrration. Who's dark domain?

[quartz cradle]

Abyssal bosses, also known as Abyssal Commanders, can sometimes be found in special versions of Abyssal Depths found in maps of area level 79+. They can be forced to spawn with the desecrated map modifier Abysses lead to an Abyssal Boss.

Tasgul, Swallower of Light (Lightless Void)
Vandroth, Blackblooded Enslaver (Dark Domain)
After defeating one of these bosses, it will drop a Kulemak's Invitation. If brought to the Well of Souls, and the player jumps in to the well, this item can be used to encounter the Vessel of Kulemak in The Black Cathedral.

[slate silo]

cool cool

[mental relic]

How do you get the boss atlas tree points now in 0.3?

[quartz cradle]

Hover it in-game you need to run 6 mod waystones on certain maps.

Map bosses, deadly map bosses, and citadel bosses are mentioned

Usually just need a t15 and irradiated at most, shouldn't need t16

[mental relic]

Ohh it tells you now? Neat, sorry I missed that.

[civic nacelle]

can someone explain what overseer tablets do?

i thought they made map bosses powerful

but i have the powerful map bosses give +1 lvl to area atlas node, and overseer tablets don't bump my t15s from 79 to 80

[sudden island]

Hi, Im starting a new game with friends that have never played before. What’s the most OP/cheapest build on a budget? LA deadeye? I just want to melt stuff easily

[slate silo]

how does the recombinator work, how is it different from the reforging bench?

[sweet wyvern]

recombinator will combine the mods from 2 items

[slate silo]

mann, the instilling mechanic is so cool, just found extra lightning damage for my amulet

you can double instill???

[ripe nest]

no?

it replaces

[quartz cradle]

Afaik you nees the actual powerful map boss symbol ON the atlas map, NOT as a tablet

Boss tablet will never +1 the map

[civic nacelle]

what does boss tablet even do then

just make boss tanky for basically no gain?

[slate silo]

oooo

[quartz cradle]

It still upgrades a normal map boss to a more powerful one. Waystone should drop +1 level and the rarity is likely higher

[civic nacelle]

but it doesn't work with irradiated tablets

and you should always have an irradiated tablet in, right?

so you'd just get a tanky boss

[quartz cradle]

If you have a barren map with nothing on it, and you put both an irradiated AND overseer, both take their full effect and give appropriate rewards

If you already see a boss symbol, putting the overseer is probably only juicing the rarity of the boss

[civic nacelle]

so you'd get +2 on the map boss basically?

[quartz cradle]

Yeah

Fairly sure bosses are already higher level than the rest of the mobs

[civic nacelle]

the text says it only +1s in non-irradiated zones though

is it just bad wording

[quartz cradle]

Hold on, I was just talking about overseer tablets

You don't need to bring up the atlas node again

Regardless, rarely use a boss tablet. don't need to

[civic nacelle]

no yeah just trying to understand what the point of them is

[quartz cradle]

The only time you use the atlas node is when you are running maps that do not have a boss symbol. It does not take effect any other time

[civic nacelle]

right, but if you use it with an irradiated tablet that node effectively does nothing, right?

and you should basically always use an irradiated tablet

so is that node functionally just dead

[quartz cradle]

No it saves you a tablet potentially

Imagine running ritual and you want 2-3 ritual tablets but still need the map high level

Your options are t16, corrupted +1 zone or cleansed, and this node with a simple boss map

[civic nacelle]

it doesn't increase the map level though

even without irradiated tablet

[quartz cradle]

Bruh

It doesn't work with boss tablets but it should work on maps with powerful boss symbol

[civic nacelle]

OH

i get what ur saying

[quartz cradle]

If not, bugged

xd

[civic nacelle]

kinda tldr though is boss tablets are useless as hell yea?

i just can't imagine why i'd run it

i never seem to get noticeable extra loot and it kills a tablet spot

i wonder if it was intended to work with the atlas node so that you could run it instead of regular precursor tablet

[quartz cradle]

Pretty much. Maybe saves you another tablet if you need waystone chance for a citadel, etc

[sly swallow]

boss tablets are great when you are farming citadels because you are killing the boss anyway and not doing other content

if you are not farming citadels I personally don't see a reason to use boss tablets

[civic nacelle]

gotcha makes sense

[slate silo]

whats a random kurgal and amanaui modifier?

[quartz cradle]

https://poe2db.tw/Desecrated_Modifiers#DesecratedMods this help? 2nd tab

if i have 5 mods 3 preffix 2 suffix, and i do a normal descecration, is it basically guranteed to give me a suffix?

i've been using neversink semistrict filter since campaign and i've been farming t15s now, what filter should i use at this point?

[novel crow]

keep using it

[bronze kraken]

alright ty

just go back there and refresh it

perhaps update your strictness level depending on what level of farming you're up to if you're leaving too much stuff on the ground

[craggy adder]

is this node unreachable?

[rotund trench]

Need to farm maps around it. Read the description to see what you need to do.

[bold mortar]

is there a way to filter/search waystones for item rarity?

[grim vortex]

Why is my entire merchant tab locked? It won't let me put anything in and just plays the error sound. I can pick things up inside but can't put them back. The slots are red. It's just the one tab that's broken, the others are fine.

[still vine]

If I forgot what abilities a tamed beast had, how do I check?

[quartz cradle]

It's probably unaccessible unless you have a tower nearby. With a tower nearby you could run a "grand project" unique tablet and then access any maps in range

Not worth it for a single random map like this tho - if you are worried about the Eye of the Storm I believe if you go all the way around it you should eventually unlock it. These deadly maps got a lot better after some 0.3 hotfixes but maps bugging out is not new unfortunately

[quartz cradle]

Hover the skill gem? It should show along with gem level, dex requirement and % spirit cost

[still vine]

oh I see now, thanks!

[frozen obsidian]

can corrupting a grand spectrum ruby ruin it in any way?

[loud fable]

Does any1 have any poe2 regex sites?

[sweet wyvern]

poe2.re

[frozen obsidian]

Yeah it doesn’t say if it can brick it

Cuz I can’t find any 1% hp gran spectrums

[sweet wyvern]

there's 4 outcomes shown right there

hellow guys, ive been trying to get my boss atlas to 10/10 for the past hours and it seems no matter what i do i cant get the last points anybody expierenced this before? ive tried all the requieremnts listed below multiple times

[novel crow]

You hovered over the 8/10 number on the atlas passive tree to see what the current requirements are? They change each season.

[brazen belfry]

yea i did all of them multiple times now, i think its bugged because i died in a boss fight where the book dropped or smthing but what can i do now?

[novel crow]

hmm not sure sorry

[arctic crag]

Does it show which ones are completed? I thought it just showed them all all the time. I had a hard time finding which one I missed as well.

[novel crow]

Hover and see? Mine are complete so I can't tell.

[brazen belfry]

sadly it doesnt show, and im rlly rlly frustrated about it, i spent 6 hours redoing all of the requieremnts over and over again, and i finally got decent gear to farm end bosses uber arbiter etc, but im stuck on this, and i feel like if i post on the poe2 forum nobody will help anyways since there is many that posted the same issue before, how can i contact the support i think its bugged for me, maybe i missed something but im at a point where i give up

[arctic crag]

Same, just show them all

[stable cradle]

Would using a rarity bot/culler benefit Zarokh drops in the trial of sekema? Or can we only stack rarity through relics?Does group scalling affect quanity of drops as well in the trial?

[quartz cradle]

i dont think rarity scales up the relics in any meaningful way. anytime i see someone post about doing 100 runs, 200 runs, etc hunting for temporalis relic its just RNG and making sure you have as much relic% as you comfortably can

[stable cradle]

right. yeah I have not seen anyone mention rarity on gear affecting relic drop chance..just relic quantity drop.

[arctic crag]

meta is to run 154% relic quant so you 3 drops from Zarokh (guaranteed if you manage to pick enchanted urn, still fairly possible to get 3)

Can you anoint a sanctified amulet?

I totally skipped sanctification as I dont trust my luck. Made me too nervous to do it on good things but I am now buying an amulet so checking if I can anoint/re-anoint.

[slate silo]

does essence of the abyss, gurantee a + to your mod, so if i got it on +4 level wand, it would upgrade to a +5 level wand?

[spice arrow]

Should work I believe

as it upgrades the tier. So if you can get the essence to hit the + to levels it should

[potent notch]

What do I do with a perfect exalted orb?

Do I trade it for a divine orb or 2k exalted?

[proud crescent]

I'm doing the ritual strat with +3 rerolls, unique tablet to double rerolls and 30% reduced referral cost on tablet. The rerolls right now are 750 each but when I was doing this strategy a week ago it was consistently around 400 when I didnt proc the multiplier to make it basically free. What am I missing that i was doing before? I'm so confused

[sly swallow]

you need to compare the tablet mods and see how much they get buffed by your atlas tree ingame

[sly swallow]

if one divine is 2k exalts then one divine is good here

generally you want to have as few exalts as possible, it costs a lot of gold to exchange for 2k exalts

[cerulean oracle]

what tablets do i need in order to get the boss atlas points

besdies irridiated

[rotund trench]

Does 'Gain #% of damage as extra chaos(etc) damage' NOT apply to damage over time?

[novel crow]

Hover over the boss point count on the atlas passive tree and you will see

[potent notch]

I have almost 2 mill so I'll be fine I think

[sly swallow]

no it doesnt

[radiant flame]

anyone know if item rarity on waystones affects lineage drops for anomaly bosses?

[scarlet turret]

why they are green?

[radiant flame]

they're foiled

they come for twilight reliquary

[undone merlin]

what do any of youz use as for a triggered spell? seems to me that comet is the only logical choice.

[tough yacht]

does anyone know if map qual affects chance to get memory tear?

[rotund trench]

Does the mod 'X% increased freeze buildup' mean 1) that your hits produce more buildup or 2) that your defensive freeze buildup threshold is increased?

[idle hazel]

1

The defensive stat would be increasing Freeze Threshold

[rotund trench]

tyvm

[quartz cradle]

Frost wall is cheaper and drops all around the target, then my frostbolts fork between the mobs and walls and everything gets evaporated

In spark I ran Arc, since spark doesn't consume lightning infusions you can keep them permanently up pretty much, but I also tried cold spark with the ring and ran comet for a bit. Arc just felt cleaner and faster than any of the other options

But yeah aside from spells gaining "more damage" like flameblast or lightning conduit, comet is the highest scaling spell damage-wise

300 energy to proc is rough until you're strong tho, you won't see them trigger often enough

[undone merlin]

[potent notch]

Do I need tier 16 maps to beat citadel bosses?

[quartz cradle]

Nope just tier 15 only

You're looking to stack as much waystone drop chance as you can without making the map unplayable

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Tortoiset-7684/character/HDMItoMilkAdapter any tips on how to get my spark to do more than 300k? Thanks

[rotund trench]

Why do many/most build use Withering Touch support with Chaos Bolt? Chaos bolt already adds a few stacks of Withered on hit. For example, mine does 4 stacks per hit, so 2.5 hits to max Withered stacks, and chaos bolt casts very fast. So I don't understand the point of Withering Touch here which just allows arbitrary hits to wither.

[bold mortar]

does multiplayer scaling persist even if other party members die and 0 respawns left?

[naive jungle]

I got an omen of sinistral necromancy and I have nothing to do with it but when I go to try and sell it it's not even in the exchange 🤷🏼‍♀️

[junior hornet]

wym it's not in exchange

[naive jungle]

It's not

[junior hornet]

on pc you can ctrl click an item and it will put it in exchange, idk about console

[naive jungle]

I typed in that I have one and what I want were some exalted and there was no exchange rate

[junior hornet]

try chaos maybe

[naive jungle]

Nothing

[naive jungle]

I wonder if it's really rare or so underwhelming no one wants it damn it

[obsidian cape]

can someone help me figure out what i'm missing here? i've been exalt slamming t15 maps, hitting them with chaotic rarity, instilling paranoia for more rares and i get dick for drops. just actively losing money running maps haven't seen a div in days

light on rarity on gear but i would think with what i'm doing to the maps i should at least be able to sustain juicing no?

[lament torrent]

change local knowledge by treasure coves

that helps u getting more currency in some maps
