Is there a way to make maps harder so more currency/better loot drops? Currently doing t15 maps and I put an irradiated precursor, one for empowering boss and another to increase pack size. It is way too easy and I was told endgame maps are very heard even for people who are resist capped.

[pseudo barn]

You can run t16 maps, either buying them or corrupting a t15 map, you can also get more tiers via the boss section of the atlas skill tree(that's the one above the regular atlas tree.

If you want a real challenge tackle pinnacle bosses, juiced abyss maps with the monsters get stronger per abyss closed mod or juiced vaal temples.

That's just a few examples of how to make things more challenging, there are probably way more.

[feral sentinel]

It's not as simple as just making the maps harder for more currency, you are going to need to have specific strategies. Here's a list of some.

Currency making guides

Note: The older the video, the more likely the value of things in the video have changed. This is due to inflation in the market economy or if the guide is from a previous league.

The strategies are still profitable. You can do the cost / profit ratio looking at economy info on Poe Ninja, poe scout, or the in-game economy.

There are many creators covering the same topic. If you don't enjoy the teaching style of one, search for another.

[analog gulch]

Whoa. This is exactly what I needed. I will look through them. I have already made a start on the vaal dungeon. I have also found that guides online are outdated especially atlas beginner guides which are all from a year ago for some reason. All this info is much appreciated

[south plank]

i cant find this on trade

[feral sentinel]

That node was removed this league

[south plank]

oh

what else can i get then ?

[feral sentinel]

You'd have to see if any keystone near there on the skill tree has the radius to reach the nodes you need. Or loom for an updated guide if you're following one

[south plank]

i am but they havent dropped it with updated jewels

[feral sentinel]

Look at that nodes they have in the skill tree around here and you'll have to get creative in how to get them or similar effects

[frozen sky]

so it seems like if you kill the rare mobs loyal to Amanamu before they have a chance to cast their black storm they don't drop any omens? is that right?

[limber violet]

when does the vaal temple destabilize 2 rooms and not just 1 anymore?

is there smth like a room counter?

[feral sentinel]

I don't know so to be safe I let them all come out and lure them away from the black smoke cloud to kill em

[distant tulip]

The more tiles you have placed the more will destabilize when you close the temple. Also extra rooms destabilize when you fight Atziri or the Architect. Sometimes fighting the architect will destabilize a huge amount of rooms.

[limber violet]

will there be more rooms lost if i dont finisht he temple? ergo dont clear all of my 20 rooms

[distant tulip]

No. How many rooms you clear does not affect destabilization outside of specific things: architect reward rooms always destabilize after you do them, the treasure vault after you open the central room in it, many tier three rooms may destabilize or at least downgrade after completion, the architect and atziri as mentioned before.

IIRC ~10% of your temple is supposed to be destroyed each time you close it.

[cosmic kindle]

question, can sanctified modifiers be chaos orbed poe2

[sly swallow]

I see some vague answers here, they are correct, but you would need to learn more in details about a specific league mechanic to know hot to do it right
it's about synergy between your tablets, maps, atlas tree and your build, this league I did temples and abysses, so I can tell you about abysses for example

there are several strategies like rogue exiles, amanamu, delirium, unique abyss tablets, you can run rarity or effectiveness or other mods etc., idk which of the strats is truly the best

I personally do unique tablet with as many rare monsters as possible, then two abyss tablets, one needs reward and difficulty, both need 2 additional rare monsters spawned and then I get increased monsters, increased rare monsters and rarity

delirium is just too hard for me, also you can replace the second abyss tablet with a boss tablet with similar mods
I take the amanamu atlas passive, but I complete my map regardless of what type of rare monsters the abyss has

map needs to have rare monsters have 1 additional modifier and as much rarity/rare monsters as possible
the synergy is the amount of rare monsters + rarity + rare monster mods, you can do the same thing with other league mechanics or abyss strats, find a synergy and minmax it

[distant tulip]

No

chaos orbs cannot be used on sanctified items

[cosmic kindle]

thats good to know, thanks

[calm sundial]

are liquid emotions rare? ive been running deliriums but i havent gotten any yet

also is there a way to retry certain maps? i failed the jade isles and i cant seem to do it again

[distant tulip]

They don’t drop much from regular delirium mirrors. The unique bosses usually drop some and you get a bunch in the simulacrum.

[calm sundial]

is there a way to compare an item i have to one i see on the trade site?

im trying to do it via PoB but it doesnt seem to work

[distant tulip]

You only get however many revives are on the waystone you use. For most maps if you fail you can redo the zone but with no extra tablets and no added mechanics. On anomaly and citadel map bosses you can’t redo them at all. If you use a visions of paradise unique tablet the first time you can do a map twice.

[distant tulip]

You can copy the text of the item from the trade site and create a custom item in PoB and paste the text.

PoE 1 has an implementation for copying item info from the trade site with a button but there isn’t a similar button for PoE 2 so select and ctrl+C is what we have

[calm sundial]

wait so i can never do that boss again?

i saw on the wiki he has dedicated drops, does that mean i can never get it again?

outside of trading

[distant tulip]

You’ll find others on the atlas

It’s not that rare

[calm sundial]

oh so it repeats? nvm i thought the map was fixed and finite lol

[distant tulip]

The atlas is randomly generated. They call it “infinite”. It technically has an edge but it’s so large you’ll only reach it if you spend an insane amount of time trying to find it.

[feral sentinel]

oh what i didnt know it had an edge

[calm sundial]

how do i dodge atziri's final attack

i see videos of there being a safe space on the left but it isnt there for me?

Video shows this safe spot

it looks like this for me

[hardy token]

So now its just a game of getting lucky right? Im not sure when to use my locks. I have to use them on the spymasters specifically i guess and not waste on the garrison i imagine. I shouldnt have put the thauma and stuff down there but oh well i guess.

[hardy token]

I cant use a medallion to protect a room while my temple is active right?

[analog gulch]

Can you even use two abyss tablets at the same time. So would you use abyss tablet with rare monsters + delirium + another tablet?

[sly swallow]

sure

[thorn rose]

as a relatively poor guy (40 divs) who's level 89 should I sell my fragments from trial of chaos or run the trialmaster boss? I'm always poor and dunno how to join the middle class

[pearl berry]

This channel is dead now too?? Do people actually have lives on the weekend,? Lol

[sly swallow]

sell the fragments ofc

you shouldnt be level 89 pr have 40 divs this league

[thorn rose]

Lol yeah I started late and everything is inflated, I’m not too good at navigating wealth

[sly swallow]

leech temples until you are level 95 at least

[frozen sky]

yea temple leech, abuse it

[sly swallow]

then run 4 chaos trials per hour and sell fates

[frozen sky]

you'll hit 95 super fast and you'll make oodles of money doing it

[sly swallow]

or leech temples forever if you can learn it

[thorn rose]

How can I find people to leech from?

[frozen sky]

there are other discord servers with leech channels advertising

you're gonna have to google it though 😄

[thorn rose]

Gotcha! Thanks 🙏

[rustic musk]

18hours 2nd time doing campaign good or bad? (following a guide aswell)

[distant tulip]

I think you’re just supposed to kill her when she does this move. She dies at ~10% HP so you were almost there. If she dies she won’t finish the move.

[distant tulip]

You can use the locks at any time. You should put them on the end of your snake because as long as you don’t make a loop if the end doesn’t destabilize the rest of the snake can’t destabilize.

[hardy token]

Thanks! Thats what im goin for. I saw that if i do that little garison>armory>garison> spy then lock the spy it will destabiltize just the armory/garison and let me do a spy/gar/spy sequence. Hopefully i dont goof it up

[calm sundial]

it is yea

the wiki says there are safe zones, so i tried looking for them. that will need to be updated

had to respec to kill her in time

[rustic musk]

early game means after campaign right?

[drowsy helm]

Yeah

@rustic musk I would say early end-game begins in yellow maps. Mid end-game begins in T15 maps. Some people think mid end-game starts in yellow maps, but following even a semi-popular build guide means that your items will be expensive enough that T15s are required at a minimum. Late endgame begins once you have a specific AND reliable strategy to make divines.

White maps are kind of an extension of the campaign in many long-term players' minds, but I can't speak for anyone but my own opinion of course.

[rustic musk]

i do have some dev's to spend on gear also iv done a temple leech so i m lvl 90rn

about 110div to be exact

for a previous char

[limber violet]

guys is it possible that i have my architect here(red circel) for my tempel?

instead where he is in the first pic?

i mean like i accidently put him there where the red circel is but he is supposed to be where he is in the first pic

is that a problem?

[odd imp]

how does 3-to-1 uniques work with built in skills. At what ilevel do I have a chance of hitting a l20 skill?

[limber violet]

you can get lvl 20 uncut skill and spirit gems in the highest waystone tiers or other map tiers where there is a monster lvl of like 81 or so

[median escarp]

level 20 skills granted by items are drop only

[rustic musk]

does this mean to unspec and do the greyed out path?

[drowsy helm]

oh gotcha, my definitions were based on a league-start scenario

[vivid linden]

I can’t find the link anymore but I’ve seen a character with a soul tether belt that had 2 mods overridden (in red). How is that possible!? I though you could just first Vaal the item and then double corrupt once to try to replace the lose ES line. That’s it.

[bitter jewel]

It's only possible on Vaal unique items, which are denoted by the vaal icon in the top left and right of their image in game. You can use a Cultivation Orb on those uniques.

[vivid linden]

Yes that's my question.

Oh I didn't see the text... I guess 2 mods never happened to me in over 10 attempts. I always got 1 mod. I guess weighting for 2 mods is super low. Thanks.

[bitter jewel]

Yep, just RNG things there

[hardy token]

How do people get divines from temple? What makes then drop?

[half peak]

Am I screwed with the location of the Royal Access Chamber? New to temple

[soft nymph]

Is pure evasion any good. I’m playing a pathfinder right now. So far it hasn’t been feeling to great

[summer coral]

hey guys im using permafrost bolts frag rounds buiild and since permabolts convert 80% phys into cold

does it gain more if i make a new crossbow with the modifier of extra physical damage

or does that calculation of extra happen after the perma conversion

[feral sentinel]

It's nice to think about defense as layers. So evasion is good, but you're going to need energy shield on top of that. Maximum resistances, of course. And if you can add deflect into the equation, that would add another layer so to speak

Im by no means an expert at this game but these are my defense stats for reference

[soft nymph]

So for my build I playing a pathfinder with fairgraves curse artillery bow I was using pure evasion and it wasn’t feeling good. I took the passive that lets me go into the warrior section of the passive tree and was wondering if going with armour would be the better option

[feral sentinel]

From what I have learned, it is best to intest into Armor or Evasion but not both, as to not spread yourself too thin

[soft nymph]

I’m currently using pure evasion. I’m considering swapping to pure armour.

[feral sentinel]

Pathfinder is ranger, right? When I used a ranger last leauge I def went with Evasion and Energy Shield and use movement to avoid hits as much as possibl;e

[feral sentinel]

gotcha, I cant speak to the armour portion of this game unf but Im srue someone else can give some advice on it, Im sure it's worth experimenting

[soft nymph]

I think for my current build it would be difficult to go for energy shield on top of everything else I’m going for.

[feral sentinel]

do u have your build online that u can link to

[soft nymph]

I don’t. If it’s not too difficult I could try and make one real quick.

[feral sentinel]

no pressure of course, but if you want to you can use one of these sites and just link your POE account to it

Poe Ninja
https://poe.ninja/

Mobalytics
https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2?int_source=homepage&int_medium=mainbutton

[soft nymph]

This is what I have so far. It’s definitely not an A tier build but it’s been fun. Just trying to make it better. https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/SwanSean__-4080/character/ArtillerySwan

[silver ingot]

how do you get Uber Xesht? Is that the same thing as Breach Merciless (150 splinters)?

[mystic valve]

Hey guys I’ve got a question

I’ve seen two build on YT that look insane.
Would either of these be difficult to get into? I’ll post the links

https://youtu.be/Xd5dte0b1Gw?si=73THykCZQL6m9dH8
here’s the first

https://youtu.be/_TJsrunn-Oc?si=OxmCwYutGndJw3gl
second

[teal ivy]

The first seems to be a cheaper build to get into

[mystic valve]

Okay cool. They both look absolutely bonkers 😂
Do you think these would be good for temple? My goal is to get that going over the next week or so.
I’m sure these are just fine for mapping

[feral sentinel]

just saw this and I would def either devote nodes to evasion and energy shield on the right or completely refund everything on the right side and just go for armor on the left

[soft nymph]

I changed it to go with armour. I think I would be a little tough to go with evasion and energy shield . At least for now. So I just went with pure armour

[distant tulip]

Damage conversion takes the damage number on the weapon plus any other added damage sources like on rings then converts then scales with %increased damage sources. Modifiers to physical damage on the weapon are local to the weapon and thus scale before conversion. Other sources of %increased physical damage such as on the passive tree will only scale the 20% unconverted damage though. That “Gain 29% of damage as extra cold damage” uses your total damage(phys and cold) after the skill conversion but before being scaled and then is scaled with other damage.

You can read about it here: https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Damage_conversion

It is usually easier to scale flat elemental damage on a weapon since the flat elemental damage mods are not balanced around also rolling a %increased mod.

[summer coral]

I am a bit confused I’m sorry I’m still new and I’m batting above my pay grade with this but are you saying to go ahead and put all my modifiers into elemental? Light/fire/cold and maybe use embitter on the perma bolts ?

[junior hornet]

yes if you are scaling elemental damage, or using elemental curse, you don't want the gain as phys unless you know you need it for whatever reason (have some phys to leech or do armour explosion)

[ivory beacon]

So im not sure how to improve my build after the campaign. Like I maxed my resistance (except chaos) and im clearing maps so far easily. But like im not sure what to do

Would link build if I knew how. Doing essence drain

[distant tulip]

The simplest thing to do with permafrost bolts is to go all in on cold damage. I said elemental as a generic term for fire, cold or lightning not meaning all of them at once. Unless you do some specific stuff it’s best to focus on one element.

Hope that helps. Everyone who plays this game gets confused.

[distant tulip]

Try to get to T15 maps as fast as possible.

[ivory beacon]

Im trying to know what to do in case I hit a wall like I did in poe1. In poe1 I couldnt clear t14 maps easily. And I sort of got stuck

[summer coral]

Yes it can be a lot, it’s my first season and I know the monster mechanics as far as abyss mobs and other things but the damage conversion could be a whole college class

[distant tulip]

It’s hard to give advice since I don’t know what you mean by get stuck. When you get stuck you should try to assess what is holding you back. Are you dying because if anything hits you you fall over, because mobs are swarming you and you can’t kill them fast enough, because bosses slow you down too much,…? After campaign people focus on scaling their damage, getting their life pool larger, improving their clear speed, adding additional ways to mitigate or dodge damage, making their character simpler to execute(less buttons more ways to ignore issues)

[ivory beacon]

Right now, im not having issues, but in the over 1k hours in poe and 300 in poe 2, I always end up not killing fast enough. But right now im trying to have a ton of energy shield as my survival.

[distant tulip]

Game is hard. I’d say when you run into an issue like that it’s totally worth it to ask for help. You can link your profile on Poe.ninja or create a Path of Building for your current character and ask for help here or in #1308715058716610580 or #2┃build-planning There are a lot of knowledgeable people here who are willing to help. Learning by yourself is possible but it is really hard.

[distant tulip]

It’s funny you say that because there is a YouTube video series of hour long lectures called PoE University for the first game. I learned a lot from it. There is a lot of resources online but sometimes they can be hard to parse because the people making them have assumptions about your knowledge or use slang/lingo you don’t know(I know I do this on accident all the time).

[summer coral]

Every week I feel like I learn so much, and then I meet someone else who tells me more, like the 21 level 23% skill gems, how is a new player ever supposed to know about this 🤣🤣🤣 there’s just so many things, but this game is so good, I know people have their prejudice against it, but as a new player this game is exactly what I was looking for it and I am having the best time, thank you

[naive zealot]

Hi in poe 2 i am currently changed my build from oracle entagle build to bear when using Furious Slam skill i am getting fissures but the fissures emitting lava from fissures only some times like when using first time on a map or when using ferocious roar how to get consistent lava emitting like that on fissures

[sly swallow]

it all depends on how much you value tankiness and your budget, bloodmage is much easier to make such a build on

[sly swallow]

build in the video description, I recommend following my own build
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yPJEnMBTVA

[sly swallow]

I had like 2k hours before 0.4 and tried to learn as much as I could then in 0.4 I started using pob, started crafting and farming lots of divines for the first time and like doubled my previous knowledge lol

[hardy token]

i forgot how visions of para works. if theres a map i want to run twice, do i just put the tab in for it? Can i run it with another tab? says "if map was not radiated previously" is it just trying to tell you that you can only run the same map twice?

[mystic valve]

A CoC or CoEA build with fireball would be best with blood mage you’re saying?
I like the fireballs going all over the screen, I think it looks sick

[sly swallow]

storm builds are best with stormweaver, essence drain and incinerate with lich, rest of the spell builds with bloodmage in my opinion

so for maximum fireballs for example you would need cast on crit plus cast on ailment with living bomb and fireball, and you can trigger them by self casting doedre's curse for example

that requires a lot of mana to cast and bloodmage bypasses that requirement

[mystic valve]

The actually sounds awesome.
Yeah I think I’ll start a BM then because I’ve seen some fireball builds and the amount of them that go all over the screen is freaking insane. Are they good for temple as well?

[solar gazelle]

Returning player here. Put 100 hours in about a year ago. Rookie numbers I know

How long is it taking to get to end game now? 30-50 hours?

[vivid coral]

If i play reverse chill without the chill immunity on the gloves removed but have the 2 chills ascendancy will i be able to doublechill myself or only 1 applies?

[strange canopy]

How do you guys sustain waystone in tier 13 and above?

[bitter jewel]

Sustain is only really a problem these days if you're failing maps a lot, since bosses now always drop at least one waystone

If you are failing maps enough that you can't sustain your tier, then that's a good sign you should drop down a tier or two

[limber violet]

can i move like 3000 exalted orbs at the same time form my currency exchange into my currency stash tab?

[median escarp]

ctrl+right click should work

[strange canopy]

Okay thank you 🙂

Only problem I really have is getting oneshot by a powerful map boss sometimes

Should 55 Chaos res be enough for t15? Other res is capped

[limber violet]

that moves them into my inventory but if i have more 20 stacks then i have inventory space i need to do it like 3 to 4 times till i got all 3k exalteds in my inventory

no other way to move them from ange to my stash right?

[median escarp]

yea

[vast turtle]

you guys think its too late to start this league?

[median escarp]

theres still at least 2 months left

[neat jay]

Im trying to make a coc druid I've tried 2 different builds and for some reason the counter on cast on crit is taking foreverrrr and then the comets dont last long at all...

No matter how many crit chance nodes I have no matter how many crit chance jewels I just can't get timer to go up fast at all

Am I just not dealing enough dmg?

[junior hornet]

crit is just a condition whether you get energy or not, the amount of damage you deal is how much base energy you gain

[unborn forum]

guys why i cant find this ?

[neat jay]

Ahhh perhaps im not gaining enough energy because my dps is too low?

Dark what currency are u attempting to pay with?

And it may be due to the fact that not a lot of people online right now or they are not wanting the currency u wish to pay with

[unborn forum]

there is nothing mate

they don’t exist this league

[limber violet]

what do i do with this sceptre?
is it some kind of base for a good craft?

[junior hornet]

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Anchorite_Garb
do these low level bases stop dropping at endgame? the only way I can farm them is to return to low level zones?

[vast turtle]

can someone check how much exalts is one divine?

and how many divine is mirror

[median escarp]

you can check currency exchange at faustus

because how much they are depends on which league youre in

[distant tulip]

Low level item base types drop less frequently in high level content. They should still drop but are less common. (This is assuming it works the same as PoE 1) Also make sure they aren’t hidden on your filter. I’d highlight them with a custom rule if they aren’t already.

[idle hazel]

They do still drop, and if you're looking for the Unique associated with that base type, it can definitely still drop at higher levels.

[distant tulip]

If you put your stash right next to Ange you can click on the stash and right as it opens click on Ange. If you time it right you can have your inventory, stash and currency exchange open at once. You still have to go exchange>inventory>stash but you won’t have to reopen each time

[neon crystal]

I finished the campaign do I just do maps now? Whats the best way get to level 82. I found a build that is cheap but all the gear is like level 82

[feral sentinel]

I can run maps and carry you through em for free exp

[neon crystal]

How's that work in cant really play till later

[distant tulip]

Yes. Normally you would continue doing maps, following the quests, and trying to get some currency, until you can swap to your desired build

[neon crystal]

Are you free now?

[feral sentinel]

yea

@AlbyMonkVaal

[neon crystal]

Ok thats me dreadarbor

Hey apparently dying on xbox with chat box open locks me in tbe chat window lol

[feral sentinel]

yourte alive on my screen

[feral sentinel]

do you have a loot filter?

[neon crystal]

Ok i think I need to get one lol

I have to probably watch a video before I do this again haha

[feral sentinel]

yeah I see you taking time to get loot so I figured lol

no its easy

one min

[neon crystal]

Well I do have the kiddos going crazy are you on later tonight

[feral sentinel]

yeah ill be on! no worries I have kids to so I get it

Ill send you instructions on loot filter through DM

[neon crystal]

Thank you again that was something else man lol

The entire screen was items haha

[limber violet]

could it be that you get less medallions when you play alone instead of a bigger group?

[neon crystal]

I should have taken a picture lol

[feral sentinel]

oh trust me I get it, without filters it's a miserable experience and its tedious as hell to sort through what is worth grabbing

but I sent you a DM with a link and a video :) hmu later tonight

[neon crystal]

Will do thanks again i saw that the boss had like millions of hp im pretty far from even denting a boss like that

[feral sentinel]

oh yeah but this is my 3rd league and has hundreds of hours in the game so it's all about the journey! Learning new things is the biggest addictive factor in this game for me

[ivory beacon]

Where do I see my current stun threshold. I have some additional stun avoidance and want to see what the current threshold is

[north thunder]

Havent played in a few weeks, is it too late in league to try to jump back in with a fresh start?

[ivory beacon]

Also, with POE Ninja, do I have to manually add my build. I assumed it would auto add it.

[bitter jewel]

https://poe.ninja/account

If you sign in, you can sync your characters through GGG's API.

[ivory beacon]

I did that.

[bitter jewel]

Cool, then you can get to your characters with the links at the bottom

When I look at your account page, I can see your Blood mage.

It can take a minute or two to populate the first time.

[ivory beacon]

yea i got it to update. thanks.

[bitter jewel]

Cool cool, yeah Ninja is great as an easy way to share build links.

[ivory beacon]

i really wish i can change the name cause thats not what i ended up building

[bitter jewel]

Don't worry a lot of us just make very functional names. They're more for your own reference.

[hardy token]

is there any way to know where the cleansed fury guy will spawn before the area is cleansed? like is it just completley radom?

[half peak]

i've found it to be random. however if you use a VIsions tablet to run it again, he's typically in the same place

[feral sentinel]

if you mean if there is a way to predict if you will get him in a Cleansed zone there is no way to untill you clear a corrupted zone and see if u get lucky. Out of like 20+ cleaned zones I have gotten, I have only gotten him like 3 times which is kinda nuts lol

I suggest using Grand Project tablets in Towers to speed up the process of clearing your atlas maps to find more corrupted zones and other valuable locations

[ivory beacon]

When did perfect Jeweler orbs start dropping

[feral sentinel]

man we gotta abbreviate that differntly

uhh I cant remember, like late campaign pretty sure

can be bought on currency exchange for some divs

[hardy token]

thanks yea thats what ive been doing im so sad cause i was trying to path to a tower for a long time then the second my friend joins my voice chat i completely scrwwed up and forgot to put in the tablet for the tower. Expedtions have been working well for me but i jump around a bit.

[junior hornet]

I would say late maps, like tier 8+

[feral sentinel]

yeah gotta have variety so the game doesnt get boring

I messed up some towers too but there is just so many directons to expand the atlas that it's not a big deal, im constantly moving around

got some Jade isles saved up and omw to some Citadels rn

[hardy token]

whats weird is its not letting me put the tablet into the tower, it says it was attempted but it def wasnt.

no way did

i just do it again did i accidently start it im so confused wtf

i dont understand

this game keeps fuckign me over there no way i hit start

maybei started it with the right tab and forgot i hope

oh thanks god i think thats what happened idk

yea its weird it doesnt show whats currently active when you go to maps, least that i can see. It just shows it as blank.

[feral sentinel]

are portals open to the map?

cause sometimes I open a map and then forget and assume the portals that are open are from my previous map

btw for Towers with Grand Project I always leave a few revives on cause I dont care about difficulty and dont wanna waste my tablet

[hardy token]

yea thats what i did i forgot i had already opened it

everythings working at least

i need to get the abilty to make yellow tablets soon, i want as many wisps as humanly possible

havent had any luck getting logbooks to drop

so just been buying them

[feral sentinel]

yeah they dont drop often even with the best strategy so I treat them as kind of an afterthought as I pass through maps to do other stuff.

Ideally need tablets with this modifier

I use this atlas map settup but others can work
|

as for getting to Arbiter boss and killing him to be able to turn your tablets rare,

you can just buy the fragment keys from the currency exchange if you wanna do it the fastest way, thats what I did

[hardy token]

oh shoot i forgot all about that, good point. also woot! i got fury to spawn

ah! yea i really eed to give th equest a shot

to get my points

i wonder if the "maps contain 30% increased number of runic monster markers conflicts with the expedition maps, like if it gives them less chests

good for logbooks but bad for splinters if true?

[feral sentinel]

Oh so when you are doing the mini expeditions in the maps, we dont care about chests, we just want want remnants that say increased chance of runic monsters droppping logbooks and you want to blow up the tall flags, the ones that have double Red flags and a blue decorator on top

[hardy token]

ive been super unlucky with those

though i just go lucky and got a fracturing orb just as a drop out of nowhere so it makes up for it

[feral sentinel]

it's actually guranteed when you kill the Immured Furry

and I now that I think back on your question about knowing in advance if the Furry is in your cleansed map, it will say in the overlay like this

[hardy token]

right i got one on th esame map that i did the fury! i got two

got really lucky

[feral sentinel]

so when you see that, use a Visions of Paradise tablet in it and leave at least a revive or two in your map. Kill the Furry first, get the fracturing orb, kill the map boss, and run it again for another fracturing orb

[hardy token]

thanks for tip i did indeed do that

am learning!

[ivory beacon]

So just beat Tier 14 map. Relatively easily. I know i need to keep pushing tiers, but what should I aim for next as progress or goals

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Kazeshini96-2158/character/BloodMageZzZzZ/passive-tree

[calm sundial]

how do i get more EOs? as i go up waystome tiers will i just naturally start getting more EOs than i put in?

[distant tulip]

Does EO stand for exalted orb? You get more of currency by increasing the item rarity stat and by killing more stuff faster. Monsters in higher tier waystones have higher "monster effectiveness" which means they are tougher, deal more damage, give more XP, and have higher item rarity. Waystone modifiers add difficulty and rewards by adding stuff like increased rarity of items found or increased number of rare monsters. You can also get item rarity as a stat on equipment. If you don't have many exalts its fine to just use alchemy orbs on your maps.

[calm sundial]

oh shit i forgot about alchemy thanks

also is EO not used to stand fore exalteds?

also why do people ask for temple leech? does havin more people increase loot or something

[distant tulip]

most common is exalt or ex I have not seen EO

[distant tulip]

Having multiple people increases both the difficulty and loot. It's supposed to make up for each party member having to split the loot.

[calm sundial]

so leechers get free xp, main guy gets more loot

i see

[distant tulip]

I haven't done it my self but I think the main guy also sometimes leaves behind a bunch of trash that is too cheap to be useful to him but has value for the leechers. Temples drop so much stuff farmers remove exalts and chaos orbs from their filters so they don't cover the screen.

[calm sundial]

is there a way to get more temple runs faster? or is it just 1 per map

[distant tulip]

"Map Areas now grant additional Energized Crystals, scaling with Map Tier and number of Modifiers. This results in double the number of temple runs you can do when using 6-mod Tier 15 maps." IIRC there is a chance for 3 at T15

[calm sundial]

should i be doing alchemy orb + 2 ex every time as well?

[distant tulip]

Just alch is prob fine until you are actually farming something in T15s. I hate having only one life so I don't usually 6 mod maps but its definitely optimal if you are able to live consistently.

[calm sundial]

do i need to get all checkpoints and all rare monsters or can i just do the good stuff and move to the next map

[distant tulip]

You need to kill the map boss. Most loot comes from rare monsters, bosses, or added mechanics. It's normal to leave a bunch of rares behind.

[terse pollen]

is connecting this bad?

its going to connect to middle path

[runic wolf]

In Vaal Tower, Is there a guide on to know which piece can be connected to which piece? Like I know it will be highlted in green. But how is it getting determined?

I am trying this tool. Sometimes I can connect Garison to Armoury and sometimes I cannot

[untold bluff]

Very bad

[untold bluff]

Its easier to just follow some template and place rooms according to a plan

[thorn rose]

If I can beat tier 2 Xesht and Olroth pretty easily can I take on The Arbiter as well?

[shadow relic]

can someone PLEASE help me, somethngs wrong with my ritual setup and i cant find the issue
Tablets (roughly the same or better):https://imgur.com/a/ipmF78s
Atlas: https://imgur.com/a/aGb4dFg

[distant tulip]

What do you mean by something is wrong?

[shadow relic]

My rerolls cost 500+ tribute

and i have 10 of em so i cant ever make it

• deferring

it wasnt like this before like yesterday, idk what i changed

[distant tulip]

What is on your other tablets?

[shadow relic]

it should show if u click the link

i can send em to u tho the ones im using rn

[distant tulip]

Got it

1000 base cost X (25% reduced + 30% reduced) = 450 cost rerolls right?

[shadow relic]

right around, made it down to 360 tho

got a 30% tablet instead

but i swear i had no problems just rerolling 10 times before

did it get more expensive or sth

[distant tulip]

You have a chance to double tablet effect from the base atlas tree. That will make rerolls free and give you double

[shadow relic]

yea i get those runs, but it wasnt EVER a problem in any normal 10 reroll ( so no procc) run

how much tribute would i even need realistically to have no problems now with 64% total reduced, like 5k

i never get 5k tribute, maybe im just bad

[distant tulip]

Other things affect tribute like map layout, waystone mods, randomness about where altars spawn, and the random chance to double prefix or suffix effect on the waystone from the base atlas.

[shadow relic]

well, do you normally get all 10 rerolls + deferrals off in a run?

[distant tulip]

I only briefly tried this strat and not really. I think if you have really good tablets and run only good layouts you can use all of them. There is always going to be some variation in returns.

[shadow relic]

aight, maybe i was just lucky then

[sullen ledge]

Hey 🙂
Concerning heroic tragedy, anyone knows how to search for one that gives a specific node ?
More specifically this one :

[median escarp]

buying one and socketing it into your tree to see if it has the nodes you want

[sullen ledge]

so basically completely random ? 🙂

[median escarp]

well if they have the same seed (the number) they will change the same nodes, but yea theres no way to tell yet afaik what the changes will be unless you socket it

[rustic musk]

in some maps if i kill boss mobs desapear is that normal?

[fresh ermine]

Yo! I finally finished my temple, but still dropping like 10 divs per run. Can I improve somehow ?

[rustic musk]

this my char : https://pobb.in/1baXBuvSq-9Z
this is the guide i m following https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/woolie-wolfman?weaponSet=set1&ws-ngf5-f7d82102-7e77-4a44-ad24-33b67e8ae7bf=activeVariantId%2C2
And idk what should i upgrade or get

[floral haven]

reinstalled the game 20 minutes ago, ran 3 rituals

[pseudo barn]

What's your question?

[floral haven]

are you doing good?

[pseudo barn]

So no question then, in that case you are in the wrong channel.

[floral haven]

so youre not

[pseudo barn]

I won't engage in your trolling, just stick to the channels topic, it's simple.

[floral haven]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1185460940624375848/1300923019585388644/caption.gif

[pseudo barn]

From first glance, amulet and weapon. Can also ask in #1449148820238766252

[fringe basin]

If I add 3 precursor tablets to a waystone (giving Irradiated 3 times) are monsters in the map +3 levels? The area level doesn't change so I don't know how to tell. But the map device won't stop me from using 3 of the same tablet type.

[idle hazel]

No, Irradiated is a specific effect and does not stack. You can put multiple of the same tablet to benefit from the modifiers on a Magic/Rare one, however.

[analog gulch]

So I was to stack three precursor tablets with item rarity on them, it would stack?

[idle hazel]

Sure, though generally it'd be best to use three different types of tablets.

[rustic musk]

im so bad at shopping for a weapon

[ivory beacon]

can you inrease the rarity of a corrupted item? Or does that count as modifiying it?

[bitter jewel]

Changing rarity of an items implies you are adjusting the modifiers on it, which you cannot do with a corrupted item. So long way of saying, no. 🙂

[bold plover]

Whats Lootfilter should i use for early mapping? Neversinks Strict?

[feral sentinel]

Yeah that's fine

[ivory beacon]

Are the resistance penalties live in the character sheet? Like It says I have 75% resis, but i want to know if that is including the penalites from the campaign

[distant tulip]

Yes that includes penalties

If you get cursed it will also update with that resistance reduction

[soft nymph]

If my main source of damage is an ignite dot. Would fire penetration be useful?

[sweet wyvern]

no

pen only affects the hit portion of damage

[young dove]

Isn’t ignite calculated off the hit damage?

Since it’s calculated based on the final damage of the hit, isn’t penetration good?

[sweet wyvern]

oh right, poe2

works differently

[mystic valve]

So I’ve got a varashta level 94, and I just started a witch class. I’m wondering which class will get me the most bang for my buck as far as damage goes?
I’m wanting to build my temple out and eventually be able to run t3 pinnacle bosses.
Wha do yall think? Should I stay on the varashta? Or keep leveling the witch to get to blood mage?

[hardy token]

any idea on what a good move would be? Id normally put an armory here but that second barracks make it loop. should i just not place anything i guess and just run it?

im trying to do the the thing where you put the spymaster back to back with baracks by locking spymaster.

really wish i had reroll medalians

[idle hazel]

No, it's based on the damage of the Hit before mitigation. The tooltip for Ignite explicitly says that effects like Penetration do not apply.

[young dove]

How does that even make sense though? It specifically says that it is calculated based on the final damage dealt by the hit. That is impacted by resistance isn’t it?

[idle hazel]

Not actually dealt by the hit. It reads specifically as:
"This is calculated using the final damage dealt by the Hit, but not any modifiers on the target that affect how much damage they will take from the Hit."

Otherwise, lowering Resistances with Curses or Exposure would effectively double-dip, where both the initial Ignite application and the actual damage dealt would both be scaled.

[young dove]

Isn’t the correct word for that ”premitigation damage”?

[idle hazel]

Yes, but Ignite doesn't use that for some reason

Every other damaging Ailment does, I guess they missed Ignite when adding that keyword.

[untold bluff]

You could, but it’s risky, better to wait

[carmine ravine]

Any advice for the upper corner? I cannot seems to have all the right rooms at the same time to finish the corner

[carmine ravine]

Thank you, I just saw it in the comment too that the guide I am following has multiple mistakes in it, the corner being the first one. I will try that way hopefully it wont take too much time

[untold bluff]

There is another mistake or two in smithy golem chain - so beware

You also wanna start to get rid of rooms in the middle because you want to have more controlled destabs

Right now there is no guarantee that it will remove certain rooms, which might cost You extra lock

[carmine ravine]

I added the rooms in the middle because I barely get any locks. Should I still get rid of them?

I get a lock maybe every 3 run

[untold bluff]

You will soon be in the corner, and You would like temple to remove extra rooms from tech, but in current state it will take 3 random rooms without guarantee of removing necessary ones

So it’s up to You, but 2 locks per turn will be mandatory

[carmine ravine]

I had 4 locks trying do the corner the first time I will take your advice and stop adding random rooms and hope the game blesses me with locks the next couple of runs

[untold bluff]

I know the pain, I’m building third temple now 😄

[carmine ravine]

Daaamnnn good luck! May the rooms be ever in your favor

[untold bluff]

Thanks and likewise !

[carmine ravine]

Thanks!

[floral haven]

if i get % increased armour on my amulet, does it increases the armour i get from fourth teaching, if i have no armour on any gears ?

[carmine ravine]

Can I put this one later on if I only have 2 garrison? Like letting this spot open and continue the chain and once I have a guarrison fill it up?

[untold bluff]

Never tried, so can’t tell for sure

[carmine ravine]

Oki ty! I wont risk it for now then

[floral haven]

which catalyst would upgrade this mod ?

[median escarp]

screenshot the entire item

because there isnt any catalysts that can affect that mod

[floral haven]

its sanctified anyway and i forgot you cant modify sanctified items

[young oar]

Anyone help with some temple building advice? I have a few difference questions about it.

[untold bluff]

What’s up?

[young oar]

Here is where I'm at:

1. How do I make this corner transition? Is it as simple as golem>smithy?
2. I didn't want to try and move arch from it's default position (a headache) so any template or finished temple layout you could provide to aim as a goal?

[young oar]

I dm'd u if easier

[untold bluff]

That’s where Yoi at now ?

[young oar]

Yep

[untold bluff]

I send You dm with explanation

[chilly path]

guys what would be the fastest way to remove that road in the middle? I always have to place something before entering the temple and when I close the temple it always only removes the one thing I placed, I'm at a stalemate

[idle hazel]

You can Ctrl+Click to not place a room.

[chilly path]

oh dang fr? Didn't know that, tysm

[untold bluff]

The fastest way to clear it would be killing architect, otherwise gonna take a lot of crystals

[chilly path]

well the thing is I want to remove the road so that I can move around the architect, I just got the 6th medaillion slot and am now trying to get him in the right spot for my build. and the road is in the way

[untold bluff]

In the middle ?

[chilly path]

yeah right here

[untold bluff]

Make sure You build around, to force his spawn

[chilly path]

yea that's what I'm trynna do which is why I need to remove the road first

[daring geyser]

does vaal orb always reroll before increasing an items value?

[junior hornet]

if it hits that outcome

[neon crystal]

The temple leech runners want tanky people capped resists. I have cold light and fire capped but only 50 percent chaos resist

Is that good enough?

[untold bluff]

It’s good

[chilly path]

guys if I place the path next to the architect will I have to fight him in the next temple I run or can I just enter the temple and leave?

[untold bluff]

Can enter and leave

[chilly path]

even when I don't complete all "objectives"?

[untold bluff]

Doesnt matter bro, can enter and leave and close or make few rooms if You searching for medallions - totally up to You

[chilly path]

alright tyvm

[vivid coral]

how does fall of the axe interact with reverse chill?

[real plaza]

How much does a 4th ascendancy carry cost?

[pseudo barn]

Currently around 20 divs, with a bit of luck and patience u can also find them for free tho.

For example in the trial carry channel on the forbidden trove discord or in #2┃looking-for-group

[rustic musk]

if u have acces to the forbidden trove u might find it free

altough xbox player i dont know 🙂

[pseudo barn]

Game has crossplay so platform doesn't matter.

[rustic musk]

really? that kinda big

[carmine ravine]

how can i see the dps of a weapon outside the trade website?

[pseudo barn]

Use path of building

Maybe some price check tools like exile exchange also show it.

But there is no native ingame way to check it.

[rustic musk]

u mean like this?

[carmine ravine]

yes! Thanks I dont know why i didnt thought about using exiled echange

[chilly path]

guys, how exactly do I get the architect right into the middle now? Last time I was in this position and I went to kill him, he simply destroyed the roads and didn't go in the middle? Do i have to do something else before killing him now?

[untold bluff]

Ideally You don’t loop this and lock both ends and then kill him, other than that You can add rooms around the pathways but he most likely will destab the shit out of Your trap

[neon crystal]

Hey where's a good spot to farm low level uncut gems they sell for a lot

[feral sentinel]

uhh no sure, prob early in the campaign but I assure you there are better things to farm for profit

[hardy token]

Does the waystone level of a corrupted nexus affect what the surrounding cleansed area will be at all? Been trying to find a fury dude by spaming level one waystones but havent had any luck

[feral sentinel]

I dont know but I have cleansed way over 20 zones and barely had like 5 Furrys

[nimble frigate]

How does spellslinger work? I don't need spirit for it to do it's job right

[idle hazel]

You don't, as it is inherent to your weapon. As it is an Invocation, it will need to be actively used to Cast the socketed Spells, however.

[patent shell]

do i lock both smithy and the golm at the right here, or do i just lock both golms ?

[blissful citrus]

i am doing something wrong, i cant really seem to be completing maps of my own level . The only way stones i get is from defeating the map boss which is ussually the same level of the tier of the waystone. I level 80 and only doing maps of level 74.

[feral sentinel]

time to upgrade your gear and make sure your skill tree is optimized

post your build link if u have one

[idle hazel]

You get a higher tier Waystone by killing a Powerful Map Boss, though you can also use the Reforging Bench with 3 of a tier to upgrade to the next.

[blissful citrus]

This is the only way i am doing it right now, i buy 3 waystones from the the NPC and then reforge them. But its not really sustainable

its not the diffculty i easily defeat these maps i just cant seem to get the waystones its a constant of tier 10 map defeat boss, then receive 1 tier 10 map again as loot.

[feral sentinel]

How is your Atlas map tree?

[distant tulip]

You can also buy waystones from Doryani and 3:1 those. Waystone drop rates are kinda low this league. Especially early on. Adding more modifiers to the waystone also helps.

[blissful citrus]

barely touched only like the outside trees or somewhat touched like abysses and the others ,the middle one where i can upgrade like 6% or whatever waystones found isnt touched but is 6% or whatever really going to help?

[idle hazel]

Again, you can get Waystones a level higher by doing a map with a Powerful Map Boss. That's specifically maps with the icon or ones where you apply an Overseer Precursor Tablet.

[blissful citrus]

alright ill be attempting those

[feral sentinel]

Follow Fairshadow's advice but I would also work on the atlas map points cause nodes like this add up and help.

also when you need T14 or T15 maps I have several to give away

[untold bluff]

2x smithy

If got 3 locks, can do golem in the middle just in case

Corner one doesn’t matter, you can place it later

[daring karma]

Heyho

So I got a unique tablet for delirium wich states, that the whole map is in delirium fog wich will not go away

I done the whole map now and want my liquid emotions from the delirium mirror

How can I end it? (I'm on xbox)

[distant tulip]

At least in PoE 1 if delirium is on the whole map rewards drop as you complete them

[daring karma]

I did complete the whole map (all rares, all bosses, all abysses and all normal adds)

[distant tulip]

I mean that as the delirium bar in the bottom corner fills up and increases the number

[daring karma]

I don't see any bar (poe2) besides the reward bar on the right side of the screen

[distant tulip]

yeah that's what I'm talking about

The rewards should have been dropping throughout the map each time the bar fills up

[daring karma]

I did some quick googling (should've done it earlier ^^")

With this tablet, it can't be closed but the normal mobs drop the emotion thingies

[hardy token]

What should i do with my expedition artifacts? Ive got a lot piling up. Not sure if they are useful for anything

[feral sentinel]

not very useful unless you wanna scour the stuff the expedition NPC sale for them for stuff to craft on but I dont think its worth the trouble

they barely worth anything but to get them out of my inventory I sell them all for exalts

it got to the point where I removed the cheapest ones from my loot filter

[carmine ravine]

The temple portal isnt showing after opening. Anything i can do to make it show?

All i seems to be able to do is to close the temple in the console

[distant tulip]

The most useful thing is recombinator to force two good mods. Sometimes recombinator is cheaper than buying bases or alt annuling. Selling them is a fine strategy since they are so cheap and take up a lot of stash space.

[distant tulip]

Restart your game?

[carmine ravine]

Didnt worked but i found an old message from someone which did the trick

I had to go back in the temple from the original map who opened that temple

I did Map > Temple > Base > Temple. This is bugged

Map > Temple > Base > Map (same map as the first one) > Temple this worked

[halcyon topaz]

anyone here is willing to get my my 4'ts ascendancy plz? (name LEKATE°

[ornate dove]

hi, why cant i place the spy master in there?

[junior hornet]

you have to do this

[ornate dove]

thx

[radiant crest]

why am i getting more damage on my wand from 22% of damage as physical damage then 108% physical spell damage

[sweet wyvern]

are your skills dealing any phys damage without those mods?

[radiant crest]

yes

[junior hornet]

that is possible if you have a tons of % increased damage already and no other source of gain as

[radiant crest]

you can only get gain as on the weapon right]

i have more gain as but not for physical

[junior hornet]

no, altho gain is mostly on weapon but it can be found anywhere

[radiant crest]

if i got extra phyiscal instead on lightning would i do more damage

[junior hornet]

yes, because you have % increased phys

[radiant crest]

ok

[sullen ledge]

Wait a minute, for you guys Atziri farmers ? Did I just get trolled or did they patch the royal access chamber permanent access tech ?

[viral stratus]

What you mean? You still need to connect with the special room

[kindred reef]

guys, how come i cant see any corrupted nexus in atlas map ?

[pseudo barn]

You probably just didn't find one yet

[patent shell]

did anyone try this tech recently ? i wanna know if its possible instead of doing roman road

[untold bluff]

It is possible, just lock expensive

2 locks per turn until it looks like on picture, then it’s 3 locks

[toxic thunder]

so is it possible to save my temple from this state or should I just start on a new chara

[ornate dove]

i had a similar one and yes it is salvgable, be patient tho

focus on the right side snake lane and it will sort itself out

[toxic thunder]

how long do you think it will take

also how should I go about salvaging it..

[ornate dove]

fastest way is to defeat atziri and the archtict, if not just try to build ur rooms with the tech u wanna follow

it takes time to get the crystals and the desired rooms to place and the locks and meanwhile focusing on the snake on the right side after each run the temple destebalize and will delete some rooms, hopefully the ones in the middle that u dont want

[toxic thunder]

will the paths destablize with trial and error or only with the architect and atziri

[ornate dove]

both, as far as i know atziri and architichet just delet more rooms per kill

[toxic thunder]

Ok will the architect room be a problem where its placed

[rustic musk]

how can i get the uber version of the arbiter fargments?

[distant tulip]

You must complete the citadels with all 10 boss atlas points allocated

[rustic musk]

oh gotcha

[vivid linden]

Why do all these people have Guiding Palm in the offhand?
https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal?items=Guiding+Palm+of+the+Heart&sort=dps

[hushed nymph]

hey guys i need exactly 5 more spirit to be able to use archmage, is there anything that can give me 5 spirit easily without a different gear piece

[rustic musk]

u can put a soul core on ur weapon for +15spirit but it cost 350ex

[toxic thunder]

think it would be safe to go ahead and start building my snake?

[carmine ravine]

Is there a way to make the temple half decent without going all in like I did with the start? I'm so f tired of building it. My last braincells already left 40 hours ago in building it

[toxic thunder]

Damn your 40hrs in? That makes me scared

[carmine ravine]

Most likely more... i had this week off. So i thought it would be perfect to build my temple. I only did this this week 😅 feels like a lost week to be honest. I think i was also exceptionally unlucky with the rooms. For example i have farmed the whole day and i still havent done any progress

[limber violet]

can someone help me buy a good wand for a dps upgrade?

[carmine ravine]

The stats the wand will have will depend on your build

[limber violet]

im going for spark coc comet so i have enough money in the future to buy myself stuff without having to worry about risking my financial situation

[carmine ravine]

I bought a wand for my coc coment oracle a couple of days ago. I will login quickly to see the stats

[limber violet]

if you want i can send my bloodmage pob link

[carmine ravine]

If comet is your main damage dealing you will want +5 cold skills. Depending if you need crit or not you will want critical chance (I use an oracle with 100% crit so i don't need it, I think you will need it but I never made a bloodmage). Cast speed is usually a good 3rd affix if you don't need the increased mana regeneration

For the prefix in general you will want "increased spell damage" or/and "increased cold damage". Though this will make the wand very expensive. If you are heavily mana dependant "+ to maximum mana" else take any of the 3 "gain % of any element as extra damage".

I didnt went with increased spell damage or cold on my wand since i didn't wanted to spend too much before being it sure it works my build... I completely forgot to change the wand after since the coc build deals already so much damage

[carmine ravine]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Fate of the Vaal/opb3L67Ocl

[limber violet]

that's my wand rn

[carmine ravine]

mmmm if commet is your main skill a +2 level extra too it will be a decent jump

[limber violet]

https://pobb.in/AjUKucE2ouSv

that's my bloodmage rn i think comet is my main dmg as i use it in spellslinger and in coc

i see some ppl just click spark 1 time and 100 comets rain down

that's not the case for me even tho i got 94% crit on spark i think

[carmine ravine]

You need allot of monster to get your COC going. Each crit adds to your COC bucket, once it overflow it triggers your comets rain which usually triggers more. I find the more monsters the better it works.

I never played bloodmage soo double check but I think you can and should get 100% crit chance

It's most likely better that you wait a reply of someone playing bloodmage. I can only be certain about the oracle one

[feral sentinel]

"You need allot of monster to get your COC going."

Poe2 is so funny

[limber violet]

and you rly think i should just go for lvl of cold skills and not for all skills bc i think my spark misses out on dmg if i do so

[carmine ravine]

I can't speak for the bloodmage. I can only speak for my coc oracle. All the damage comes from me from my double comets. I use the spark or elemental weakness just to trigger the comets which clear the screen and give me an additionally free flashbang in my face

[distant tulip]

The other increase to CoC trigger rate is cast speed since energy consumption is based on cast time.

[quartz cradle]

This is not totally true! It's base cast time, meaning cast speed plays no role 🙂

[quartz cradle]

While more monsters does = more procs assuming you can hit them all with the same effort as a small pack, the only thing generating energy should be your spells OUTSIDE of CoC or CoA or spellslinger

If elemental weakness + doedres is generating energy from within a meta gem, it's most certainly a bug

I'm noticing the same thing with support gem "Static Shocks"

If my choir shocks something and applies static shocks, those static shocks can then crit and apply choir. Need to test if this is actually happening or I'm seeing things but I'm in HC so i need a thick boss that doesn't fight back lol

[toxic thunder]

oh damn thats unfortunate

im just now trying to build my first temple this league

wish me luck

[distant tulip]

What is the following line from the energy tooltip referring too:

modifiers to Total use time are treated as though they were double the value.

More cast speed should mean more frequent crits at least.

[toxic thunder]

are vaal ruins guranteed in every map?

[icy shell]

How am I suposed to reach this Mansion?

I guess my only chance would be to use a grand project on a nearby tower?

[quartz cradle]

it means exactly what it says... comet has 1.00 cast time and +1.00 TOTAL cast time, meaning its energy cost is 300 (100 + 200)

nowhere does it say that cast speed determines energy cost

[distant tulip]

So only things that say “+# seconds to total cast/use time” would be relevant?

[quartz cradle]

there arent many spells with total cast time, not really something you need to pay attention to outside of comet

point is, wearing a ring with 20% cast speed does not influence your meta gems in any way, feel free to drop it as needed

[distant tulip]

Ok. I think I understand now. My thinking was that cast speed modifies the total time it takes to cast something but the text says “modifiers to total use time” and so is only referring to modifiers that directly say total use time.

How do you get 3 sockets on a sceptre ? double corrupting ?

[icy shell]

Exceptional base (2 sockets by default) + corruption

[limber violet]

how do i get a +4 to lvl of all spell skills on wands?

[icy shell]

Part of the base pool for ilvl 78+, but it has a really low chance or rolling

[limber violet]

thx

[tawny arch]

I started the league late and wanted to start building a temple. I watched a couple videos and they explain the order and how to avoid a reset but how do I actually get the rooms I need ?
Is there a maximum amount of rooms I can hold at a time as well and do I just spam the rooms I dont need meanwhile in the middle to increase drops while building or do I save them if I need them later on in the chain

[sharp jackal]

you must clear the maps around this mansion, where you can see flow winds in his direction

[icy shell]

There was actually a hidden path leading to the Mansion in one of the zones around it. Usually when the wisps gather around the boss itself it means that the zone is unlocked, but not that time. Not sure if it's a visual glitch or on purpose

[toxic thunder]

ok so when I did the first russian tech, I did another instantly after and locked the top spymaster, but the previous spymaster got deleted should I just keep locking the top spymaster until I find another one to replace the previous or

did I do the tech wrong, was I supposed to wait until the armoury deleted before moving on to the next spymaster

[toxic thunder]

ok I got the spy masters room back, how should I got about locking the rooms so I can get rid of the two armourys and garrison on the side

[toxic thunder]

I have the top spymaster locked with 2 extra locks should I risk it and pray or lock something else to guarantee

[toxic thunder]

mb for the spam btw

[lilac jay]

if i do russian tech on the top there and it connects w/ the architect, will it mess things up if I lock the spymasters?

[faint pilot]

Is my temple dead?

can't move the key room

[untold bluff]

That’s good

[untold bluff]

Nope You good

[untold bluff]

You would have to connect to the reward rooms first to make space

[patent shell]

do i have to use sacrifice in this situation or i can skip it by using 3 locks ?

[untold bluff]

Remove garrison lock corruption- can’t use 3 locks since it’s looped

[faint pilot]

So just connect the reward room, kill the architect and hope it gets moved out?

[untold bluff]

Rewards room will destab once You complete it, so only way to get rid of them is to path there and complete ‘em, need to get rid of all of them if You wanna build, most of them can remove while building snake just little set back

Not sure, but maybe sac chamber can be handy here

[thorny arrow]

is there any (quick) way to tell what am I missing to get that 2 points, also I feel like I already had 10/10 but it dropped idk maybe im trippin

[random wedge]

Vaal Temple question:

1. Defeating Architect at level 75 is not your own character level right? Because I beat him while I was on lvl 75, and the quest is still on.
2. Does Vaal Temple only drop trash tier Lineage Gems through those Reward rooms? Can it drop drop the more desired ones, is it just RNG?

[strange canopy]

1. Zone level must be 75 not your char level

[distant tulip]

There is currently no way to check what you are missing unless it is the obvious pinnacle of flame quest.

[hearty basalt]

how do i allocate the top node in the atlas tree "way forward" i already have all boss nodes

[toxic thunder]

how should I deal with the architect because my next tech is gonna connect to him

[distant tulip]

If all boss points are allocated then it is automatically allocated

[lilac jay]

Does anyone know of a way to properly lookup damage affixes on the market? Like, how do I set a minimum value for both the first number and the last number?

[bitter jewel]

The in game search tool (or the trade website) both support this.

Select the mod as a filter

Then you'll get an option to additionally add a minmum or maximum filtered roll

Leaving those fields blank defaults to "any"

So you're looking for Adds X to X Cold Damage to Attacks mod.

[lilac jay]

right, im just trying to figure out how, cause the min/max are usually for 1 number in an affix, but the damage affixes have 2 numbers

[sweet wyvern]

you'd input the average

[lilac jay]

ohh so add the low number to the high number and divide by 2?

[sweet wyvern]

ye

[lilac jay]

okay that makes sense, tyty. I wish they'd just let us set tier 1/2/3 or whatever

[untold bluff]

You can do the tech, and just kill him so he moves away

[toxic thunder]

ok thanks

should I kill him b4 placing a spymaster

or it doesn't matter

[untold bluff]

Doesn’t matter as long as You lock the right room

[lilac jay]

is there no more Arbiter skill tree?

[quartz cradle]

nothing but ash now, yeah its gone

[toxic thunder]

ok question with crystal farming, once you get a vaal ruins in a map once its gone forever right?

like

you can't leave without killing the boss and come back to it later with one there?

[deep hornet]

Are there any advantage/disadvantage to killing the architecht in the temple?

Do more rooms get destroyed upon killing him?

[pseudo barn]

Exactly

[deep hornet]

Oh okay

So unless i needa to relocate him, i should avoid killing him

[golden thicket]

Need some advices on how to survive abysses...
Res cap(including chaos)
1.8k hp + 3.3k mana(MoM)
500 passive mana regen
80% phys incoming damage to ele conversion (55% for DoT)

And i'm still dying EVERY abyss overrun map.
Most often it's a green beam that melts whole mana+hp in 1-2 seconds.

Any advices?

[sharp jackal]

there are 2 main dangers: 1. meteors raise to the sky and then fall down after around 2 seconds. normally quite obvious, because of sound and grafic. 2. mines; they are green and hard to see until all enemies are dead and the color changes from this abyss-green to normal color. so don´t jump on loot too quick. the mines remain around 4-6 seconds.

the range is quite small, so if you keep moving, normally they are no problem

[sharp jackal]

i´ve watched several videos how to build temple, but i still don´t get it. can anybody recommend a video, where it´s easy to understand how to do it?

i simply don´t get how to start a temple-snake. mostly, because it doesn´t seem possible to put the recommended chambers together

[prime ginkgo]

what do you have to do to go from 70 to 100 spirit?

[distant tulip]

Some abyss mobs disable regen so defensively I’d focus on increasing the size of your hit pool. IMO though you should probably aim to just kill them faster and from farther away. They can’t kill you in 2 seconds if they die in 0.5 seconds. DPS is often the best defense

[distant tulip]

Did you miss a campaign quest?

[prime ginkgo]

well im asking what quest gives it

[prime ginkgo]

and i suppose so

[prime ginkgo]

there is no act 6 tho, that was for when the cruel acts were in the game?

[golden thicket]

Further dps upgrades without sacrifice to survivability on my build(minions) costs hundreds or thousands of divines, so, not an option 🙁
I found out that tablet mod with "increased difficulty per closed pit" seems to be the bigest offender.

[distant tulip]

But you have done that one for sure because you have 70 not 60. So it should be one of the other two

[prime ginkgo]

no ive done the other two i think i get 10 spirit from some trinket

[distant tulip]

Got it

[prime ginkgo]

its something in act 4 or the interludes that i havent done

[distant tulip]

Kriar Village from Lythara the wayward spear

Interlude

[prime ginkgo]

ok sweet ill try that

[distant tulip]

Yeah that mod makes abysses REALLY hard. You could try asking for advice on build upgrades in #2┃build-planning or #1308715058716610580

[toxic thunder]

Have you watched fubgun's video on it? The start of the snake is the hardest to get done after you get some momentum going its not bad

[prime ginkgo]

also thanks for the help, much appreciated

[limber violet]

so how does the number of players in a map/party influence the rarity of the loot dropped?
anyone got like a exact number how much it increases each time?

[quartz cradle]

No rarity change, only quantity

[limber violet]

so i still get better stuff bc just more drops right?

[quartz cradle]

Technically sure

[analog gulch]

This dropped as a very dark red drop and I have the uberstrict neversink filter. It is 1 exalted on trade site. Is there any reason why it dropped as if it was an amazing drop?

[sweet wyvern]

it has an extra socket

[analog gulch]

I am about to put a spymaster in the centre. I did this last time, it got deleted after I closed temple but my level 2 spymaster at the end of my snake did not get upgraded to level 3. Am I doing something wrong?

Do I need to place the spymaster somewhere else to upgrade the one at the end of the snake?

[sharp jackal]

does "Gain 49% of Damage as Extra Fire Damage" also apply to comet, when used in coc?

[distant tulip]

That should apply to every skill

[tidal meadow]

Is there no longer 30 points from Corrupted Nexus maps? I got 2 books then none on my third map

[quartz cradle]

enable quest tracking, ensure you actually completed one with a high enough waystone

30 points from doing 6 corrupted nexuses, than 10 points from unique maps

[tidal meadow]

Ah ok, so the level of waystone you need progresses

[foggy skiff]

Do drops get better for higher tier maps?

[golden thicket]

After i dropped this mod i had 0 deaths 🙂

[distant tulip]

Short answer is yes.

[random wedge]

Is Zanptipi's Medallion worth using in the Vaal Temple?? or does it add too much RNG??? and should be discarded

[random wedge]

Why do some armours have implicit modifiers but not all in same tier or type??? (higher level ones - non-corrupted)

[tidal meadow]

I'm hitting a bit of a wall at T6 waystones on my Frost Wolf druid. SSF. Whats the best way to progress? Gamble for gear, a specific map type to farm equipment? Gear is pretty good overall but definitely needs to get pushed higher

I'm thinking farm Delirium to maybe get a instilled amulet would be a good push but i only have 1 delirium tablet

[distant tulip]

Zantipi’s medallions are good but if a map mod gonna stop you from being able to complete the temple don’t use it.

[distant tulip]

Some base types have implicits usually to balance differences in base stats. For example, Assassin Garb has a 5% movement speed implicit but has less base evasion and slightly more energy shield than a Torment Jacket. Is that what you mean?

You can see all the base types on poe2db

[random wedge]

Thank you for clarifying it. I thought such implicits were random on some armours. I just went and looked and all Ornate Plate (lvl 70) has the same Implicit stat of regeneration, whereas my level 75 Death mail doesn't have any implicit on it

how good/important/useful is the 'Armour Also applies to Elemental Damage' stat? this stat seems to be a global one as it gets benefit from total armour stat, not just on the armour piece it is on...

[distant tulip]

It is very good but works best if you have a lot of armor and a lot of that stat because elemental hits are generally bigger than physical ones and amour works best when it is much larger than the hit.

[random wedge]

I am trying to be tanky by building multiple layers, 50%+ armour and Evasion, 75% elemental (except Chaos)... and the ''Armour Also applies to Elemental Damage' is showing 50% under Armour stat...

still, my HP pool is not great... around 1700 with 250 energy shield (i am lvl 78)

[distant tulip]

Armour and evasion don't have much synergy. Energy shield is usually not that useful without investment into recharge delay, recharge rate, or energy shield leech. The more you split your focus the harder it is to excel. Your stats are fine for now but I'd consider pivoting.

[radiant crest]

how do you get a lvl 82 and 83 map

[random wedge]

It gets harder and harder to push one stat... and armour is just so meh...i tried armour only gear, and its so much investment to get armour above a certain percentage... and it's still not tanky on its own... not like someone with 10K energy shield stat

[tidal meadow]

Is there a way to farm expedition tablets?

For ssf

[deep hornet]

When allocating skill points, i should finish allocating the points from levelling up first before moving on to allocating the weapon set points, is that correct?

[chrome patio]

what does sharing charges mean? can i still use my charges? will they be taking charges from me or will they just receive the charges?

[distant tulip]

League mechanic tablets only drop from their respective league mechanic mobs. So the way to get expedition tablets is to do expedition and juice the mobs in expedition as much as possible.

[distant tulip]

Weapon set passives are almost double the value since you allocate them twice. If you aren’t weapon swapping though then they’re the same as regular passives. So it depends on how impactful the nodes are and how often you are weapon swapping.

[random wedge]

Is 50% range of the Oblitirator/Artillery Bow a big issue/disadvantage???

Does it impact Forking and Chaining range?

[sly swallow]

+1 from t16, +1 from the boss, +1 from the atlas map mod that's level 82

[sly swallow]

without the recoup and soul tether recovery to me 10k ES feels maybe like 3k life with 100k armour applied to ele damage

so you can be tanky with just armour and life, it's just harder to do

[random wedge]

100K armour applied to elem dmg? Well I am not playing in the same league here...

[sly swallow]

you can get probably to like 300k armour applied to ele damage, so 100k is very reasonable for like a 3k divines build

but ehm armour is just much harder to stack than ES, that's all

[tidal meadow]

Do tablets also drop in logbook runs?

[patent shell]

is it possible to still move the arc to the mid in this case, i want him 1step to the right, i killed him twice he didnt move at all

[limber violet]

can a spymaster who gets killed while in temple still be locked afterwards to upgrade another spymaster but still keep the killled spymaster alive?

[untold bluff]

Yea it is, just have to remove commander and corruption and kill him

[untold bluff]

Yea, if You got plenty of locks You can level up all Your spymasters this way

[limber violet]

crazy thx man

[untold bluff]

Just make sure You don’t lock him before opening temple,
Has to be after You enter > leave > lock> enter again

[limber violet]

ye that was the phenomenon i noticed bc he got killed while i was in temple and then i wondered did i just fuck my spymaster up

[patent shell]

ty, make sense why he wasnt moving at all

[untold bluff]

There is a small chance he won’t move after killing, but the setup is good and eventually he will

[patent shell]

@untold bluff is my rooms gonna be safe if i link the armory to garrison into the arc ?

like this i mean

[untold bluff]

Yes, as long as You lock the end of both chains

Looks good. He should move 🙂

[marble owl]

Can you use a Quipolatls Medallion(+1 to room) on a sacrificial chamber and get a sacrifice room in the same turn?
The sacrificial chamber is in middle of the chain

[patent shell]

i hope so xD

[marble owl]

Lock the Garrison as well.
I just moved my architect

[patent shell]

i did lock both chains

[marble owl]

If you don’t lock the Garrison, there is a good chance the architect will not move at all

[untold bluff]

He says that if You spend 1 more lock on connecting garrison with architect it’s 100% he will move, now it’s 80% 😄

[patent shell]

oh

i mean sure why not

smash

[marble owl]

Architect first destroys the rooms and then decides if it needs to move or not.
By locking the Garrison, you are forcing him to move

Can you use a Quipolatls Medallion(+1 to room) on a sacrificial chamber and get a sacrifice room in the same turn?
The sacrificial chamber is in middle of the chain

[patent shell]

didnt get any this run

ty guys

i can die in peace now

[tranquil lily]

My friend and I tried to play together the other day. I was on pc and he was on ps5. We were in the same room and experienced lag so bad it was unplayable. We tried different gateways(and choosing the same one). Nothing fixed it. Internet connection was fine. Anyone else hear of this or known how to fix it?

Wired connection btw

Also it didn't lag in town.

[random wedge]

Well, those numbers are science fiction to me currently. I am a poor (read noob) guy with a few hundred Divs to my name, and my lvl 80 Ranger has maybe 20 Div worth of equipment (big portion of it went towards the Inginuity Belt) on right now... lol... I appreciate your response, and maybe one day it will make more sense to me when I have the resources and experience...

[sly swallow]

you are welcome. start by learning some farming strats, chaos temple is the simplest, great divine per hour if you can make 4 runs per hour

temple leeching takes some time to learn, but it's a must because you also farm gold and experience

but you can do almost anything you want this league and make good money

[random wedge]

I tried Temple leeching once... and my strictest filter couldn't keep up with the loot... it was just a nightmare and very overwhelming...I will be looking for a dedicated temple leech filter before trying that again...

But it gets a bit much at times. I am still learning (this is my first league - and only second Character to endgame), and while I am trying to farm whatever I can (like a normal player playing his own game)... when i see what was dropping in that temple farm run... I felt like that is just another game/level...

[untold bluff]

Nothing stops You from building one, it’s fairly easy just time consuming

Highly rewarding

[random wedge]

yeah, i am doing it, but as you said, it takes time... my temple snake is more like a earth worm... I have only recently manged to get all 6 medallions unlocked, and capacity to 60... and I am on lvl 11 maps in endgame... so can't even do 2 temple points in one run yet... just really behind

[untold bluff]

I sent You dm

[limber violet]

anyone got a good crafting recipe for a endgame wand for bloodmage spark coc comet?

[sly swallow]

https://www.filterblade.xyz/?profile=Creo11%233078&saveState=AGIT8KJ414PWZI&isPreset=false&game=Poe2

this is my filter, you just had to customize your filter, this filter works in temples

just learn temple leeching, it's not rocket science. you have to recognize a good temple and a good temple host, search for both until you find them

[carmine ravine]

Following the guide from FubgunI have to lock the rooms in Green for the blue rooms to destabilise. However I did it already 3 times and the Gollemwork room marked in red keeps destabilising instead. What am I doing wrong?

[pale fable]

Hey all. Is there a way to target farm Lineage Support Gems? I'm looking for Tecrod's Revenge specifically. I play ssf so no trading 🙂

I know I should kill as many deadly bosses as possible, but aside from that, is there a way to narrow the drop pool down?

[bitter jewel]

Not always, some but Lineage supports drop from specific mobs and this is one of them! For this you want to farm Abyssal Depths. It drops from the chests at the end.

Oh, also from Kulemak per the wiki. But that's probably harder to farm on SSF.

[pale fable]

Really? Wow thats nice, I actually have a Kulemak key. Never killed him tho.

[bitter jewel]

It's a fairly easy fight for a "pinnacle" boss honestly.

But you definitely want decent gear and good dps

[pale fable]

I play sc so it won't be the end of it if I die. Will try, thank you

[pale fable]

@bitter jewel I love you 😄

[bitter jewel]

Haha niceee! Congrats.

[timber ginkgo]

If I have unwavering stance, does it mean shadow dancing won't see stuns period?

Or can it still proc

Unwavering -cannot be light stunned
Shadow dancing - 60% faster start of energy shield recharge if I've been stunned recently

[bitter jewel]

you can still be heavy stunned, but I don't think I've ever seen someone try to build around getting heavy stunned.

[untold bluff]

Need to use 3 locks, on red + 2 adjacent green ones, corner golems you can place later when tech is gone

Or 2 green but don’t place corner golems

[raw grotto]

hey guys. for some reason, I cannot place the smithy from my medallion on top of that armoury before the corner. any idea why?

if I click the smithy, this gets highlighted instead

[untold bluff]

Have to remove smithy

[raw grotto]

ah ok! thanks a lot mate

[cosmic kindle]

question, anyone know how I can farm for ventors?

[quartz cradle]

Can't, simply highlight gold rings on your filter to chance orb or just wait, you'll see one eventually

Probably a good number of ventors in the twilight reliquary vault

Oh, you can also set up your rogue exiles to wear jewelry... Have fun with that, you'll see it as a natural drop before any exile imo

[cosmic kindle]

damn alright, so just basically chance orb rng then. what are the odds of rolling ventors?

[quartz cradle]

What's the goal here, ventors on trade too expensive so you want a gg one through other methods? Or just get your first one in order to spam divs on?

Might be cheaper to buy crap ventors and 3:1 them with reforging, but usually spamming divs on them is the play

[cosmic kindle]

my plan is to get a 6/-30 ventors

well 2 of them

to my knowledge that can only be obtained by vaaling

[vivid coral]

when running abyss strats with the unique tablet do you care more about the number of added abysses or the extra rares on the tablet itself?

[mighty mountain]

my understanding was that weighted sum (v1) would REQUIRE all stats listed. but when I do this search, i'm getting rings popping up that are missing cast speed?

[distant tulip]

I don’t think weighted sum imposes requirements like that. Only an And filter would require all mods

[mighty mountain]

it sorta does, i've done a lot of googling in the last 10 mins

its very confusing, v1 and v2 are very similar, slightly different, and a lot of online info is wrong 😄

basically v1 imposes requirements on anything that ends up on the item, but if fewer than all of the affixes can sum to meet your "total needed sum", then it can ignore the rest

so like, in the above example, if life+mana alone can meet my "weighted sum minimum" (which I don't have set, but imagine its 100), then it can be missing cast speed, ele res, and attributes

but if it HAS cast speed, it'd have to be 2% or more, since the min on that is 10

whereas with v2, it could have cast speed at 1%, as long as the total sum works

[timber ginkgo]

There a way on blood mage to use 2 copies of doedre undoing?

On 2 diff skills ofc

[quartz cradle]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Solus_Ipse

[timber ginkgo]

Sadly I can't use a diff headgear but ty for tht

[toxic thunder]

how do I go about locking the corners when doing the tech

[uneven kayak]

Hi Guys, how to get Spectre: Vaal Guard?

[distant tulip]

go to Utzaal in Act 3 and kill one then use a raise spectre gem on the corpse.

[quartz cradle]

did you get your answer?

with that setup, you would have to lock the cornermost garrison, as well as the spymaster and finally the end of your chain. so 3 locks total... otherwise eeach one is susceptable to being removed, you should be able to double check using the temple tool, i can do that now just to make sure im not missing anything

[sly swallow]

use and groups together with weighted groups, dont set minimum values in the weighted groups

[untold bluff]

Spymaster + corner garrison

[untold bluff]

You can add garrison so 2 locks is enough

[limber violet]

what was that bug about where you couldnt activate the alchemy lab?

[random wedge]

So while building my Temple chain/snake, I put a Commander early on... I read that Spymaster can't be placed in that snake chain now... Ever... Is that correct? Do I have to try and get it all destabilized and start again?

[untold bluff]

That is true, start on the other side, the rest will destab over time

[random wedge]

Is there any other such room that is a complete no no for the chain?

[untold bluff]

Not rly, commander is the only issue, that’s why second chain is usually garrison> commander

[night mantle]

I’m lvl 93 and I haven’t seen any citadels yet?

[distant tulip]

You have to get REALLY far from the starting point. Then the spawn like crazy

[random wedge]

Why does the Reliquary vault have 4 slots... i can only put one key at a time.... right??!!

[bitter jewel]

Yes, most of the mapping system has 4 slots. We can predict some use cases from prior PoE 1 leagues, but currently in PoE 2 there's no use for the additional slots.

Actually, that's not true, the map insertions only have one slot now, so I guess the vault is a bit unique in that design atm.

[random wedge]

Is there anything special/different about these Foil Uniques??? and is the multi-coloured effect just in the inventory???

[sweet wyvern]

foil uniques just look fancy

[random wedge]

In Inventory only right?? there is no cosmetic effect on Character when worn

[amber helm]

yep

[torpid wind]

sorry im still new to temple setup and got advise to try enclose the square at the good archi spawn, i put in the spymaster to hopefully get locks next run when i fianlly enclose the square. if i dont get a lock next run how do i get a higher chance of keeping the spymaster and garrison at the start? also idk if the advise a person gave me to get the archi to spawn at the good spot frst before setting up my temple is good

[young hazel]

Is it worth starting now or league dead

[untold bluff]

Personally I don’t recommend first moving him, as You loose time, I personally prefer to move him once I have most of temple done, this way most of squares are blocked off so he has not many choices. If You got no locks You can try placing commander/ armory after garrison and hope it will destab only that one room

[torpid wind]

thanks for the details.

[untold bluff]

My archi still in bad spot, but I don’t care as I progress his options will be limited 🙂

[torpid wind]

I spent a day trying to enclose the square yesterday. Glad I asked that its better to proceed and build the temple first. Thanks guys!

[untold bluff]

Both ways work, I believe doing 2 things at the same time is just better for a long run

[bleak apex]

Hello, someone could tell me what kind of maps should I priorize besides nexus and towers?

[coarse kestrel]

Are you talking about the mechanics or the layouts ?

[bleak apex]

Mechanics

[coarse kestrel]

Abyss is king, with farming for abyssal echoses and omens of light. It pairs well with essences, you need a tree example or it's fine ?

[coarse kestrel]

Can give you the tablet mods as well if needed

[bleak apex]

I'd need a tree example, I don't need any tablets, I prefer get those tablets by myself 🙂

[coarse kestrel]

Was talking about the modifiers on the tablets, not the tablets themselves. Gimme 15 min i'll give you that

[coarse kestrel]

The abyss tree is fixed it's the best one

The overall atlas can be improved

[bleak apex]

Ok, thanks!

[coarse kestrel]

If you want a more classic abyss farm, without essences https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/fubgun/builds/fubgun-s-atlas-strats?ws-ngf5-f7d82102-7e77-4a44-ad24-33b67e8ae7bf=activeVariantId%2C4 look at the abyss juicing tab but take Amanamu

for the tablet mods, you want rare monsters, abyssal modifiers and desecrated currencies

(careful with Headhunter and Shroud Walker as that TP you into the void and you get the omen of liege, which is bad)

[quick dove]

anyone know if this guy has good or bait builds?

[coarse kestrel]

Looks AI to me

[quick dove]

yeah its an ai voice so instantly makes me think theyre trash

[strange canopy]

when would you transfer your warbringer to a titan (shieldwall) lvl wise

[quartz cradle]

It's not trash like kaidgames that's for sure, he actually puts a relatively decent amount of effort into his videos. But I would use them for inspiration more than truly following one if that makes sense.

It's been a while since I've seen his stuff, but back in d4 he would get crack some solid jokes. Definitely isn't just telling AI to make him a script, he seems to write the scripts for this particular AI voice

[quartz cradle]

Shouldn't need to min-max this ascendancy swap. Shield wall is plenty strong, you can stay unascended if need be and still delete campaign without dyin

If you still want a specific time to swap, I'd say maybe interludes when you get your lvl 60 djinn barya. Tbh as soon as 2nd ascension in act 3 I'd go titan, juicing small nodes is fun and makes leveling more enjoyable (each level you grab a new small node, which is already being buffed by 50%). Third ascend would be 15% life, last would be the armour node

[analog gulch]

I am building the temple right now and have got the snake up to aziri. It has taken like 2 weeks (I am a newb to the game). I get the occasional divine orb. If I run trial of chaos it takes 17 minutes to get a deadly fate which is 24 divine orb. At how many rooms will the temple drop that many divines. Chaos is mega boring

[quick dove]

yeah i did notice the script definitely isnt ai which makes it more believable

ill keep them in mind

[quartz cradle]

I have a 60 room temple in HC, about 700 rarity, 200-300 effectiveness, and 300 exp

I get about 4-8 divs/annuls per solo run

My effectiveness could be much higher, I need some commander rooms

[strange canopy]

okay thank you!

[analog gulch]

Seriously. That’s sounds pretty low ngl

Why are people making these temples if the drops are that low

[toxic thunder]

it starts scaling like crazyyy towards the end

[quartz cradle]

Yeah I have a SINGLE russian tech

HC groupfound so slow AF, not gonna risk death by adding waystone modifiers to my temple

Temple is nuts, but you gotta balance fun and currency. If chaos isn't fun but prints, and temple could be fun and prints, work towards that

Or go target abyss currency, ritual omens, or citadel fragments

[toxic thunder]

yeah

me personally I find building the temple fun asf, but you def need a money making method on the side

if your build is strong enough

you could farm uber arbiter for money

[untold bluff]

Once finished it drops like crazy 😄

[toxic thunder]

thats what I do and if you drop 2 diamonds out of 10 arbiters then you profit

[quartz cradle]

60 half upgraded, non perfect room temple vs 100 room temple with ideal rooms AND upgraded said rooms AND can bring leeches in that only care about XP + things worth less than a divine

AND waystone modifiers

Suddenly 4-8 raw divs becomes 40 per run

[analog gulch]

Everyone here is saying this. Is there like a webiste that can tell you optimum pathing strategies? I fear mine is already rubbish - I am upto aziri. Doing armoury garison spymaster in rotation. Have I messed it up?

[quartz cradle]

no you are doing simple non tech temple, kinda what i did for my first version before i realized commanders = no more spymasters in that chain haha

[analog gulch]

I don’t care about getting it perfect because I am just trying to learn as much as I can this season.

[quartz cradle]

i killed atziri 5 times on this character before deciding to knuckle down and work on an actual chain, thats how the spymaster chain began

destroyed most of it last weekend and have been building this this week

[analog gulch]

I know about commander haha. I have avoided that. I have done a few russian tech pieces with garrison then spymaster rotating apart from corners which are too confusing for me right mow and they need two locks to make work

[quartz cradle]

you gotta accept the fact you wont just start printing, and you wont gaurantee see the rooms you need to add

its a time investment

for trade, i felt much more burnout that i do right now. i got two characters to 95 but didnt really develop temple at all before coming to this PL

[analog gulch]

Tbh even though it is a time investment it is still a lot of fun. Mapping is too easy. Chaos too easy. I am not sure what the endgame is in poe2

It’s probably good my temple is not doing well. I keep seeing posts by established players saying next season people are going to be shocked with low currency drop rates compared to this season

[quartz cradle]

meh

imo

the big thing

is crafting = lots of rng and slamming over and over

[torpid wind]

noob question, do i have way too much feeder rooms?

[analog gulch]

Crafting is so complex lol.

[quartz cradle]

point is i dont derive fun from the currency itself. i want to work on items as i progress my character. if they remove half my current stash of currency but add a new mechanic like ritual or essence or abyss in order to craft stuff and stay engaged, good.

[untold bluff]

This will only affect You when You reach corner and want more of a controlled destab instead of rng

[torpid wind]

is this number good enough? and also layout for feeders?

[untold bluff]

I mean, on the corner you need as little as possible, during building if You can’t sustain locks You use feeder rooms, looks alright to me

[torpid wind]

oh alright i get it now thanks!

[untold bluff]

Once U finish, Your temple will provide about 30-40 div per run (15-20min), I had same one no tech

[analog gulch]

This is really reassuring to know. Thank you!

[random wedge]

On the Atlas map, how rare are hideout maps?? I had one close to the start, and now I have opened up the map using the Grand project tablets on a few towers and still haven't spotted another Hideout. Are they pure RNG, or is there a minimum distance between one Hideout map before another can spawn

[unborn forum]

guys do ineed to use vaal on t17 ? im trying to get the 6th slots if you can help ?

[amber helm]

this is a poe1 question and also no

[finite prairie]

guys do i Have 50/50 for the architect to land in the middle?

Guaranteed to land in one of the green X's righttt?

well actually it could remain where he is maybe

yeah sad, he stayed put

[random wedge]

For items in the Trade window (in game) showing 'Negotiable Price' as opposed to 'Exact Price'... how do you actually go about negotiating a price for an item in game...

[sweet wyvern]

you'd message them and discuss it

[random wedge]

So it would become an in person trade??

And all the listed items as 'Exact Price' are all in person trades??? requiring the vendor to be online? because I can't seem to find a way to buy or go to their hideout

[sweet wyvern]

at the top right of the trade site/window, you can change buyout type

[torpid wind]

Hi, if i only get one lock after my run, which one should i lock?

[toxic thunder]

for these types of tech you only need one lock

lock your garrison

and then your spymaster is safe

[torpid wind]

Thank you!

[toxic thunder]

np

[sweet wyvern]

@slim tree maul is a skill granted by talismans. on the talisman, you can select which forms basic attack you want to use

[runic wolf]

Sorry. I am still confuse on empower attacks.. Maybe my question does arctic howl increase my shred attack when it procs?

[tidal meadow]

Why is Simulacrum so much more difficulty than the ritual tree splinters

Just instant killed after wave 10

[idle hazel]

It has random map mods on it, whereas the other Pinnacle encounters do not.

[tidal meadow]

I guess it's basically meant to be game over if you die even though they let you revive

I revived probably 200+ times while getting insta gibbed but landing a hit or two made to wave 14 then my game crashed

[carmine ravine]

Why can't I put a golem works on the red spot?

[distant tulip]

Yeah it was designed around 6 revives but players complained about it for map progression so it was changed to infinite

[carmine ravine]

ah wait I got it I was looking at this picture

So I have to place the smity, then the golem work then delete that middle smithy, place the 2nd golem etc?

[nimble frigate]

is there a regex to see if i have 8 modded maps?

[ornate lark]

first time building temple but why cant i place the spymaster on the bottom right corner?

[junior hornet]

you can't chain 2 rooms back to back except for a few exceptions

for the spy - garrison chain you need a trick

[ornate lark]

i saw onyoutube rn wtf

[untold bluff]

Yes

And lock golems, if got spare locks can also lock armory attached to architect as You will need it for corner

[limber violet]

what skill am i missing?

it worked fine like this for like 4 weeks and now it suddenly says missing socketed skill

idk what to do

[vivid linden]

I've done Lightless Void boss quite a lot. Never seen the Tecrod's Gaze abyssal jewel.
Is there a condition I'm missing?
https://poe2db.tw/Tecrods_Gaze#TecrodsGazeTecrodsGaze

[coarse kestrel]

Lvl 82 area have a better chance, but you'll have to take the inner circle abyss atlas nodes for map mods to apply

[carmine ravine]

Thank you

[distant tulip]

Try removing cast on crit and resocketing each gem one by one. Try relogging. Do you have enough int for comet?

[limber violet]

did all of that

[junior hornet]

my bet is the weapon sets check boxes

[limber violet]

i had to go into COC tooltip then go to comet in COC tooltip and uncheck and recheck the weapon set markers for weapon set 1 and 2

it didnt work when i only unchecked comet alone it had to be in the COC tooltip

it was so weird

[median escarp]

do you have any runes with a limit of 1 in both your weapon sets?

[limber violet]

no

[vivid linden]

Ah this one. That makes sense, thanks

[vivid linden]

Would you explicitly hunt for lvl 82 maps? Or not really worth bothering / just play with that passive?
AFAIK it's only available on rare +1 corrupted map nodes (with t16 + irradiated tablet). So odds of having Lightless Void spawn on those rare nodes seem super low.

[coarse kestrel]

I mean lvl 82 abyssal depths, lightless void etc

Idk how to have them, i think T16 should ben fine

[vivid linden]

AFAIK you can only have lvl 82 area with above

[coarse kestrel]

I have 81 Abyssal depths area with t15, so i guess that T16 should bring you to 82 ?

[vivid linden]

I'll run some maps to confirm 👍

[coarse kestrel]

Not much of a help here, sorry xd

I tried to farm depths earlier in the league but... Well

[dawn stag]

Are there increased energy breakpoints for meta skill gems? Someone is using a very expensive megalomeniac with it and I am not sure if I need to make up the difference somewhere else or the build will be a lot worse. basically I am wondering if getting 25% increased energy will mean I will suddenly proc cast on crit on every crit

[carmine ravine]

I often have monster that dont move and are untargetable in my temple like this. Since i cant kill them the room stays locked. Is there a fix?

[tidal meadow]

Can't find much info on Mansion of the mists node other than i have to find a pillar in maps around it. Anyone know if there's a tooltip on the map showing it the map contains the pillar when you enter, alongside the other events

[distant tulip]

There should be "wisps" around the map icon on the atlas before you enter. They look like swirly blue? pixels

[tidal meadow]

Ah thanks, I'll look for that

[vivid linden]

t15 + irradiated. So need to run t16+irradiated.

[coarse kestrel]

Thanks a lot !

[tidal meadow]

So this looks to still be bugged. Pretty sure i cleared all the wisps nodes nearby, i did 4 or 5.
Nope i found another node

[idle hazel]

Each type of 'locked' map on the atlas has different ways to access it. Hovering over or selecting the map should give you a tooltip that explains this. For the Mansion, you just need to complete the map with wisps around it until it grants you access.

[tidal meadow]

Thanks. I read a lot of reports of it being bugged but i think the wisp nodes are just easily overlooked. The wisps on the map only show up for a second when it first scroll into the screen

I know what happens. Only one wisp node appears, and then when you beat that map with wisps, another node will appear afterwards. So you think you are finishing the last node but more keep appearing

[idle hazel]

Yes, they don't all show up at once.

[tidal meadow]

I hope this node gives atlas points, I've done 10+ maps for it so far

[idle hazel]

You get regular Atlas Points from completing Corrupted Nexuses and Unique Maps, which these 'anomaly' maps aren't, as far as I know. However, completing them under the right conditions can give you Boss Atlas Points - you can check the exact conditions on the Atlas tree, I believe it's completing the map at a high enough level with a 6-mod Waystone, but I may be wrong.

[tidal meadow]

Oh i see, needs a T14 map I'm not quite there yet. I'll save the node thanks

[untold bluff]

Remove headhunter

[torpid wind]

Hi it seems this doesnt work anymore? https://youtu.be/H_r1w4lKCxg?t=159

Tried simulating it and it doesnt allow me to add a spymaster at the corner

[junior hornet]

read the description

[torpid wind]

yeah missed that one, thanks

[carmine ravine]

Thank you!

[vivid linden]

Welp got it from a lvl 80 lightless void!

[carmine ravine]

In the video it says only 2 locks (green circle) are required here. But doesn't it need 3 locks (green + red)?

If you do 2 locks won't the red smithy be removed?

[coarse kestrel]

Higher lvl only gives more chance to drop it, but gg !!

[torpid wind]

If i end up with only just one lock after this run which one is safest to lock?

[carmine ravine]

I lost my corner gollem. Looks like i can put him back at any time so that's good

[limber violet]

is it smarter selling mirrors and hinekora lockets for divs or keep them?

bc the value seems to be always dropping

[coarse kestrel]

Not a lot of people playing, so i'll guess hoard everything for a nice end of league screenshot

[limber violet]

yk i still dont have everything i want so im unsure if i get more value out of the mirrors if i hold them longer

[untold bluff]

U don’t need red smithy yet

At all time you gonna lock corner golem, and You better palace it asap

[untold bluff]

Spymaster I would say

[carmine ravine]

This is the setup I already had.
But I messed up and lost the golem in the corner. I though I could it add later but the moment I put the next golem in line it removed me the ability to put the corner one back. So I will remove the next golem in line, but the corner one back. After I am not sure how to put the next one as I will need 3 locks followed by 4 most likely and be lucky with the rooms at the same time

[untold bluff]

Not sure but I think the problem is bigger, because now, the smithy to the right from corner golem will most likely block corner golem …

I hope You can put corner golem back, but unfortunately I think You might need to do the corner tech again …

[carmine ravine]

It showed me the option to put it down in the corner or where the last one is standing. so I have high hope. I just removed that last gollem. Im waitng to get a new one to make sure.

[untold bluff]

Fingers crossed

[carmine ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/it's-hot-dogs-phew-gif-16877409997294026306

[untold bluff]

Lucky You !

Lock corner golems + alchemy lab

[carmine ravine]

will the last smigthy not get removed?

[limber violet]

is that some kind of bug bc nothing happend to my skill gem when i corrupted it even tho i used the omen

[untold bluff]

U don’t care about it, you will place is later while backtracking

[carmine ravine]

aaaah I though this was the difficult smithy from the corner

I was so scared to lose him. I though I would have to do the whole corner tech again. I kept locking that smithy with my life

[untold bluff]

Don’t worry, once Your sandwich extension is ready, You will put smithy > golem > then the last smithy - and then 3-4 locks

[carmine ravine]

Thanks! So I just lock the corner gollem and the armoury now

[untold bluff]

Looks good! Lock corner golem + armory and let’s hope smithy goes away

[carmine ravine]

Thanks!

Does it have to go away?

[untold bluff]

Yes, bc it will connect to armory risking removing of corner golem

So u would have to use 3 locks per turn

This way, when smithy is out, You need only 2 locks per turn until it’s ready

[untold bluff]

Don’t use omen, on average I score 1/6 makin +1/23%, then just architect orb for whatever missing

[carmine ravine]

Okey ty!

[untold bluff]

U can also use lower lv skill gems,just quality + socket - level up can be done after corruption

[limber violet]

still weird nothing can happen when i even use an omen which says that there def must change smth

what kinda bug is that again xd

[untold bluff]

Happened to me as well, and then I decided not to waste extra few div for omen

[torpid wind]

Not sure what Im doing wrong 7 runs no locks and from the sulozor image, i added up to 8 feeder rooms now because of the bad rng and still losing rooms from the snake, whats left now is the screenshot of the actual temple layout

Is the RNG just that bad or how else can i lessen the chances of losing rooms in the snake since locks arent dropping

[quartz cradle]

It's not a bug it's changing something to the same value lmao

Quality

[untold bluff]

Rng can be bad, I sometimes get no locks in full temple

[torpid wind]

Yeah, I have accepted it now lol

It just came to a point that i thought i was doing something wrong

[analog gulch]

New to the game so this temple thing is a bit confusing. Because I started a certain way this is how I can potentially build. Before I crack on with it, are there any stupid flaws in this?

[tepid anchor]

can anyone run me thru a t3 ascension rq i screwed up my class

[untold bluff]

It looks like crazy hard layout for a new player 😄

[swift sail]

When the belt already has the essence of insanity mod on it, do i still use an omen of corruption or the double enchant is guaranteed either way?

[versed sequoia]

How does crit work for spells that have secondary damaging effects due to infusions. Stuff like frost darts and fireball? Does a crit on the initial cast make everything else crit or is it rolled separately for each instance of damage

[brazen plover]

if someone is around that knows some stuff about presence in 0.4.0 wouuld apreciate the help in poe 2 help 2

[analog gulch]

Haha. It’s okay. I am upto the marked spymaster. I may be new but there is a lot of guides and youtube videos that have been very useful. I can do it. Just want to know if this is an okay layout.

[untold bluff]

I would say, 5 wasted spots ain’t good layout

But maybe this is the best out there :D, You probably wanna compare values in sulotools and see by Yourself

[toxic thunder]

would yall say the temple gets easier to progress after the spymaster chain?

[quartz cradle]

RNG tossup at the end of the day, I have only 6 spymasters and sometimes I get 1 lock, sometimes 3 or 4

My last three runs have yielded 3 pathing tiles each refresh, super annoying to see 3 paths and 3 crap rooms you don't need

[toxic thunder]

I feel you

I got 7 spymasters rn and have got 0 locks in two runs

[distant tulip]

I believe criticals are rolled on an individual basis like per projectile. Not 100% on that though. See specifics on the wiki: https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Critical_hit

[random wedge]

Can you actually improve quality of a meta skill like Mirage Deadeye?? It shows that the duration can be improved with Quality, but when I try to use a gemcutter's prism, it is greyed out...

[quartz cradle]

granted skills like this unfortunately cannot be qualitied, unless they come from a weapon or something that can be qualitied instead.

there is gem quality on the tree and you can use the soul core too technically, but both of those are probably not worth it unless they benefit your other skills in meaningful ways

[idle hazel]

There's also a Lineage Support that adds Quality to the socketed skill.

[quartz cradle]

Lol crazy I forgot the only ultra rare lineage gem that I've dropped myself 😅
