Been trying to remove the garrison and armoury from the tech. it always hit feeders even if i just had 2 of them, i guess since i have 1 lock for the head of he snake its ok not placing anymore feeders for now?

[untold bluff]

Don’t place more as corner is on the horizon so You want it to destab extra rooms asap

Also if it’s 2 extra rooms don’t bother as they don’t threat Your snake

can anyone give me some tips for CoC double comet oracle?

[sharp jackal]

is there a legit way to display ready cooldowns more obvious? i have problems to keep track of cooldowns in the middle of a hectic fight

[random wedge]

Do T16 maps (potentially) drop from powerful bosses (when running T15 maps), or do you have to combine 3 T15 maps for one T16 map. And other than one extra level, is there anything else unique/better/important about running T16 maps?

[untold bluff]

Exalt to the max, then Vaal - that’s the only way I know to make t16 wAystone

[random wedge]

Thanks. Is there a specific need/use for these T16 maps??

[limber violet]

but that's exaclty why i used the omen for the vaal orbs so that smth must happen

someone told me that the support gem slot got enhanced but bc it was already on 5 it didnt do anything

[quartz cradle]

I agree that when you use the omen and nothing happens it feels wrong, and I hope it gets addressed at some point. Nothing to be done about it now, it's been known for a while

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3717603

This was created over a year ago, and has comments from 0.3 as well. Could go bump it

[untold bluff]

I think more xp, loot - personally I use them for citadels/special maps

[random wedge]

Just to confirm - Corrupted items/equipment can have sockets and runes added/replaced, but there is no way to increase the item quality of an already corrupted item

[toxic thunder]

they can't have rune sockets added from artificers orbs anymore

but you can change the runes in the sockets

and yeah once an item is corrupted you can't change its quality anymore

[random wedge]

did you mean you can't add augmentable sockets if not added before corruption?? right?? so before attempting to corrupt an item the sequence is to take it to 20% quality and add 2 sockets to it... is that right?

[toxic thunder]

yes correct

[random wedge]

Thank you

[toxic thunder]

[distant tulip]

Also get higher item level bases. In Ritual you need area level 80 to get some of the rarest omens. You can get there with a T16 map, or a T15 that is irradiated or with a powerful boss and the atlas passive for +1 area level.

[faint kestrel]

there a way to remove these "remove only" stash

[sharp jackal]

theT15 waystones don´t have to be exalted to max in order to get a T16 map. but i can´t tell you, if it´s more likely to get a T16 map if you exalt a T15 map to max before

[amber ore]

Um... what do I need to do here?

[cosmic kindle]

question, why do some of my charms not have 0/0 showing

[distant tulip]

Ingenuity with "% increased Charm Charges used"?

or Zerphi's genesis

[cosmic kindle]

yeah, I am running ingenuity

[distant tulip]

If the charm costs more charges to use than it has at maximum charges then you can never use it.

[cosmic kindle]

huh, alright. is there anything I can do about that?

[distant tulip]

Divine the ingenuity so it’s negative? Might be something else but idk

[cosmic kindle]

damn, alright. thanks for the help

[delicate fiber]

I need help with a cheap endgame sorc build so far used spark for campaign

I don't have lot's of divines for a build

[untold bluff]

Start building 😄

[amber ore]

but there's no build option. Shouldn't I have some stuff on the left there?

you're seeing my entire screen there

[untold bluff]

You can build left or right, doesn’t matter, but what you need is a layout to follow

[amber ore]

what?

you're not understanding. There's no button to build

previously when I was building, there were some buttons on the left. That's what I meant "on the left"

[untold bluff]

Because You have to close the temple first, then it will pop some rooms on the left side which U will place

[amber ore]

ok well, please explain that to me. Why do I have to close the temple?

[untold bluff]

So the new sets of rooms appear to be placed

[amber ore]

what I mean is, what are the rules? When do you have to close the temple? And when not?

I didn't have to close the temple before. Why do I have to now?

[untold bluff]

When You complete the temple, you close it.

[amber ore]

so I completed the temple? hmm, I don't remember doing that 🙂

what does it mean to "complete the temple"

[untold bluff]

Now, press the “close button”

[amber ore]

just by the fact that I did a run on it means I completed it?

[untold bluff]

Entering and leaving gives the option to close it

[untold bluff]

Ye well, if there are no more monsters I would say it’s completed

[amber ore]

hmm, ok, thanks I guess. I still don't get the mechanic but I'll see

[untold bluff]

At this point I can only suggest watching a temple building guide, it will definitely help

[delicate fiber]

How to sustain maps? I seem to run out when doing t2 maps

[quartz cradle]

Waystone drop chance

This is found on the atlas tree and tablets that you use each map

Once you defeat the arbiter and/or can run 6-mod maps, waystones will come much more fluidly

For now, focus on full clearing each map UNLESS you find a waystone, then I'd say its fine to kill the boss and move on to the next map. Usually one waystone drops from the last rare or the boss itself

(the reason arbiter helps is because you can alchemy/regal orb your tablets, if you want to skip progression a bit then you can simply buy rare tablets on trade for hopefully dirt cheap)

[random wedge]

So after i get my 8 ascendency points, is there any reason to do the Barya or Chaos trials (except to change Ascendency class)...

And is there anything special about the ultimatum or barya that drops after you defeat the last ascendency boss... (I only did Chaos boss yet and he dropped an ultimatum with some additional mods on it)

[distant tulip]

Trial of the sekhemas is the only source of time-lost jewels and several powerful uniques. Trials of chaos final boss has one really valuable unique called the adorned. There are a few other things too.

[random wedge]

Thank you. It's good to know.

Do you need to run a high rarity build for those drops from the trials or are they a fixed chance/RNG

[junior hornet]

rarity would be a waste

[distant tulip]

You just need to be fast because drop rates are low so you have to run a lot to average rng. With sekhemas you kinda want to know how to price jewels.

[torpid wind]

Soooo last night I learned not to build a temple when you are a bit tipsy and sleep deprived.... I honestly thought I clicked the spymaster from the room cards but accidentally clicked and placed that generator right next to sac chamber. I guess just full reset the temple

[sly swallow]

you can farm well in both trials

[untold bluff]

Damn that hurts :/

[random wedge]

It's so hard to figure out what (most) jewels are really worth. There are so many on the market, and they vary a lot... and you can use only a few per build... Any jewel I have tried to sell hasn't sold (despite nominal prices).

Is there any point in trying to Corrupt a Quiver. The 3 times I have tried, it has done nothing (no change). I know on equipment there is a 25% chance of 'nothing changes', but is it just RNG for me (25% no change strikes 3 times in a row), or Quivers are like jewelry and there is no point trying to corrupt them.

[untold bluff]

Try using omen of corruption together with Vaal orb next time, can get like mana on kill, crit dmg, increased dmg on quiver and some other I don’t remember

[distant tulip]

It’s tough but it’s late in the league and this league is also quite strange with the temple completely warping the economy. I’m definitely not good at pricing jewels.

[distant tulip]

IIRC It’s 50% chance to do nothing since 25 for nothing and 25 for add a socket which it can’t. The omen will only remove the 25% for nothing but could still roll 25 for the socket

[random wedge]

That would make sense.... 50% chance is pretty high and 3 out of 3 nothing rolls is likely there....

Looking for +8 Ascendancy Carry

[high marsh]

Anyone doing 8 point trial runs?

[distant tulip]

Not generally a carry service discord. You can ask in #2┃looking-for-group . This channel is more for questions and advice. People here could give advice on how to complete the ascendancy trials if you want.

[random wedge]

Can you use tablets on Unique maps??? I tried a few different ones I have, and it simply says that this map doesn't support thos type of tablet

[distant tulip]

No tablets on unique maps.

[random wedge]

So I completed two unique maps. One dropped a Atlas Map special item that gave me 2 points. The other didn't drop anything. It says map completed (all rare monsters defeated), and I can't find any drops anywhere on that map

For reference, both maps were the same biome I think... (untained paradise)... does it matter??

[idle hazel]

You can only get points from a Unique map once, so if both were Untainted Paradise, only the first would give you the book.

To get more, do other Unique maps and Corrupted Nexuses.

https://poe2db.tw/Unforeseen_Consequences

[random wedge]

I had a similar (bad start - didn't know much better)... and you have to basically reset it and start over... defeat the Architect a few times, and don't put extra rooms than necessary to reach the architect.... waste of crystals and time I know... but this Temple mastery requires a PHD on it's own to get it right...

[unborn forum]

bro havent seen that architect boss yet

[idle hazel]

You have to have seen it, because you've placed the Royal Access Chamber.

Doing so requires killing the Architect and using the bench in his room.

[unborn forum]

ohh maybe i did then before i left the game i was playing 1 bro

[idle hazel]

It's this room, if I'm not mistaken

[unborn forum]

but how can i get the exact room i need to build it ? now i get layout from someone but i dont know how to get these exact rooms to put

[unborn forum]

now its looks like this cuz i need the key to fight atziri

[untold bluff]

Easy to connect, garrison next to commander and armory/golems next to smithy close to architect

[random wedge]

What are Wisp maps.,.. Anything to know before running one?? like a special drop or something?? some special tablet to use...

[sharp jackal]

as far as i know, you have to clear them in order to unlock nearby other special-boss-maps. the wisp will move to another map every time you clear a map with it until you can access the special-boss-map

[sweet wyvern]

there'll be 'wisps' over the map node

[random wedge]

That was happening, till such time those Wisps got together on one map which showed min requirement of tier 6 Waystones. It didn't seem to be the kind of map feeding a special map...

Or is it like the special maps which can drop special lineage gems? And you should use Vision tablet for two tries for the special drop chance

[golden comet]

Any idea why I can’t access this map?

[distant tulip]

There are some visual bugs with the atlas. Try doing the map just north of the topmost completed map.

[golden comet]

Gotcha

[distant tulip]

Sometimes paths are not shown. Sometimes paths look like they go to a specific node but are actually going through that node. The visible path isn't going through the center of the castaway so it's probably just between the two opposite nodes.

[limber violet]

when will trading be up again?

[limber violet]

what do i do if i want to pick up items which are behind a medallion and i dont want to pick that medallion up bc otherwise a better medallion will be lost?

[random wedge]

existing medallions are not replaced automatically. If your slots are full, it won't pick up, until you use or discard a medallion. Also, you can use (on controller) the right stick to move/select the pick up item.

[golden comet]

I tried the one north of it, should I literally just do every node nearby? Some of these def seem like they’re too far lol

[distant tulip]

It's probably not worth the headache

[golden comet]

At this point I don’t think so ngl

[rocky schooner]

so cast on crit aint a invocated spell whats a invocated spell?

[sly swallow]

spellslinger and elemental invocation

[idle hazel]

Things that have the Invocation tag are Invocations. Spells cast through them are Invoked.

[limber violet]

so if you crash in your temple and have to log back in it just wont let you join your temple again or what?

[untold bluff]

It depends, how did You enter, sometimes when you enter temple through map portal, and then you leave it may look like temple is closed, but You have to go back to instance the same way - through the map - not always but sometimes it works

[limber violet]

well me and a friend joined the temple he crashed while loading in (i was party leader) i then died in temple but there was no ressurection or spectate button so i tried to log out and back in and then the temple was closed when i loaded back in

[elder spindle]

can ilvl 50 unique body armour roll 6links?

[bitter jewel]

It's just a visual bug on the map that doesn't show you completed them. But you can find the wisps in the map.

[idle hazel]

And more importantly, it's in an Interlude, which will be removed once Act 5 drops, so it's likely rather low on the list of priorities for bug fixes.

[sly swallow]

[ancient seal]

got to map how do you use the map device?

[random wedge]

You need to select a map node on Atlas, then put a Waystone and activate... If you have no Waystones (they start dropping in the last Chapter of the Campaign - Tier 1 mostly) - you can buy from Doryani for gold.

[idle hazel]

You should be given one by Doryani as well

[random wedge]

How is it soft locked?? you just need to make more runs where you connect the Architect, the Key chamber and Atziri in one run... kill Atziri and have most of the temple reset. You can also just link to your reward rooms and clear them out (and don't place more). Basically, you just need to waste a lot of time before you can start building your temple snake... just like me...

[verbal cobalt]

i mean softlocked because i couldn't progress further because i need 6 or 8 rooms cleared to enter the key area, had to abandon that run to connect the rooms later in the next attempt

Does anyone know what is the Instance expiry of maps opened in Atlas (end game). Standard Campaign maps have 8-15 min instance expiry, but the Atlas maps appear to just persists for a long time (after completion). Many times I have to pause a game to take care of some chores, so it would be nice to know what sort of instance expiry emergency am I dealing with.

[sweet wyvern]

at least in poe1, it's tied to your hideout time

which is like 30 minutes iirc

[random wedge]

What do you mean by Hideout time?? I am sorry I don't understand that reference

[sweet wyvern]

your hideout is also an instance with an expiry time

[random wedge]

hmm... so you mean if i stay still in my hideout for 30 mins, I would be pushed to the log in screen

[sweet wyvern]

instances only expire when you're not in them

[random wedge]

hmmm... so if I am out of my hideout for 30 mins... like logged out of game, or in some other map/hub... my hideout and any opened instance in that hideout will expire?

interlude 3, beat Lythara but it took a pretty long time. My weapon was pretty bad so I opted to try and craft one

I think I should be fine, I just need to spend some time leveling and see if that helps

[bitter jewel]

Yeah, that's good awareness. I'd say about 7/10 instances of people complaining about poor damage in campaign on attack builds is because the weapon is really falling behind.

In PoE 2, the gear provides more of your damage base vs. the passive tree. At least right now.

[idle hazel]

Pretty sure it will remain that way, since they're happy with that.

What’s should should I do so I level up my spymasters?

[torpid wind]

just in case you havent found an answer, just place a spymaster from the roomc cards to a room slot that is directly connected to path rooms, do not place a garrison next to it. should only be level 1. after closing the temple the spymasters that are connected to a garrison will "snipe" that spymaster and it will level up. A trick if you have a lot of locks and more than 1 spymaster to level is to lock that feeder spymaster so in your next run it will be available again for the spymasters in your chain to snipe.

what items can be put in the bottom slots of the delirium stash tab? same question about the essence stash tab, I know you can put items in the big one but nothing seems to go in the 4 slots below it?

also is it intended that abyss items have an affinity for the ritual stash tab? its kind of annoying when sorting items

oh and is there anyway to change the colors on folders?

[bitter jewel]

For Ritual, it's a legacy holdover from prior to 0.4. You used to put waystones there and instill them with delirium emotions. But that functionality is gone now.

So the overall answer is, "GGG needs to update the stash tab designs" and hopefully we get that in 0.5.

The abyss omens having affinity for ritual tab is a bit weird too. I'd prefer an overall Omen tab but historically each special tab associates with a league mechanic. Another WIP stash thing.

[velvet stag]

ah, I rage quit that league. is the essence tab thje same thing?

[bitter jewel]

Yes but the big slot in the Essence tab is for an item

The idea is you can drop the item in there for easy use when applying the essence.

yeah I figured that out, thanks for your help

I just tested this and can confirm it works, yes.

Ah, I thought you were asking about the Mystical Rage notable. That says "Every Rage grants 2% increased Spell Damage." This node will work with Crown of Eyes.

Druidic Champion will NOT apply here, as it gives more spell damage. More and Increased are independent.

[torpid wind]

Has anyone run solo full tech fubgun temple runs with 150% rarity? Does it somehow significantly increase div drops etc.? Was thinking of investing on stacking rarity for solo temple runs but might not be worth the investment.

[keen roost]

in temple, is smithy effect the atziri drops?

[random wedge]

Thanks. So just to clarify, i want to try this on a specific map for easy Crystal farming. Basically, go in using T15 Waystone, do Vaal Circle for Crystals, and leave map unfinished. Then go to second map, do the same, exit without killing boss after crystal farm. Would this work without bricking (failing) the maps? I'll just need to spend T15 Waystones to reopen the previously unfinished map.

[untold bluff]

You can do that, and after if for any reason you want to have that particular node completed, you can run it again but without any tablets. But you probably shouldn’t worry about bricking any nodes

[random wedge]

Thanks. The bricking part is only relevent because I want to run the same specific map type I have marked over and over (Confluence). That map type is really easy and quick to consistently get to the Vaal Circle and exiting.

[untold bluff]

My bad, should have said once entered and not completed won’t be able to use any mechanics on second run, so there won’t be another Vaal device after first attempt

And even if you killed the boss then can’t run same map again anyway

[random wedge]

Ohhh... Man... That defeats this idea then... Lol

[untold bluff]

That’s why you use tower strategy to cover as much so you can just jump without worry

Yeah, I use the Grand Project tablets to open up maps... But thought this might be a viable farming strat for some specific type of easy map layouts... Some maps are tedius to run through than others...

T16s can only be obtained by corrupting a T15, they're not natural drops so you can't reforge up to one.

isnt there a node that makes ur life flask regen es instead

u could take that and it'd be useful again

I believe you're thinking of this

but I don't believe this would apply. Life Regen is a form of recovery but not all recovery is regen.

o damn i thought there was a node on the skill tree wtf

i swear there was one

it made it so your life would recharge like an energy shield

and your energy shield would act like life

The Arbiter of Ash is a boss with scripted gimmicks at certain stages of his health pool. You can watch some YT video and learn the specific gimmick/triggers and just do that. I personally hate such gimmicks, which is why I don't like it during the Act 2 final boss fight. This is not good boss design, but this isn't Dark Souls.

In Endgame (Atlas) - What's the point of the 4 Kalgurans (Rog and company) selling trash for a different currency. None of the items they sell are exceptional, or even decent bases for crafting. Seems totally pointless. Am I missing something?? or are they really for SSF players who can't trade.

I just reached endgame and am completetly lost. Not sure what I should be focusing on doing and what to look for my build.

[quartz cradle]

Double check your max life/ES now that you are level 65 you have access to many types of item bases (still some to unlock as you head to lvl 80 but lots are unlocked at this point)

Double check your resistances (75% elemental, 0-30% chaos you can get more later)

Start running some maps 🙂

Talk to doryani/Alva and learn about corruption/corrupted nexuses

The atlas is infinite, there is nothing to "mess up" early on besides not reading and ignoring quests

[meager pond]

Can you look at my build?

So far nothings stumped me

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/ChosenOne-2615/character/TheDestinedMonk

[quartz cradle]

You could clean up a few points near the very start of your tree otherwise looks fine. If nothing's stumping you then honestly I'd go as far as I can go without getting "help"

[meager pond]

Ok thanks

[quartz cradle]

The father into endgame the more your defense choice matters

In campaign you can easily get by with 1k life and a little overhanging energy shield, but that stops once you start adding modifiers to your maps

Monsters gaining damage as extra fire/cold/lightning/chaos, monster damage, monster crit chance and damage, some of these are the more friendly mods compared to "lower player maximum resistance" or "monsters fire 2 additional projectiles"

[meager pond]

Should I be saving the shrine uses for a boss in each map?

[quartz cradle]

TLDR for invoker you will likely want a juicy es/ev body armour

If that's where you need them most, sure

Using shrines to deal with tough maps is more of a poe1 thing, but makes perfect sense in both games

[meager pond]

Ok thanks

[quartz cradle]

One time-saving tip I can give

Path around the atlas using basic waystones (as in the waystones only have 1-3 modifiers on them at most) and get yourself prepared to run "corrupted nexuses"

In order to unlock 5 atlas points at a time you'll end up doing these nexuses with increasingly higher tier waystones

[meager pond]

Yea so far thats what I've been doing. Just using waystones with few mods

[delicate fiber]

I need advice on which content is good to focus on building currency for gear I'm looking for a gear piece upgrade which is 160 divines

Rn I can do till t11 rare maps

T15 is too hard

[sly swallow]

first level up to around level 70, should be high enough to get experience in the temple, then leech a few temples until you are around level 95, then continue leeching temples forever or farm chaos trials, very easy options

160 div shouldnt take more than 2 hours

[quartz cradle]

Sekhemas should be paying well, whether you sell carries on tft/trade chat or farm against the darkness/BiS sapphires for all the crit builds out there

I've heard buying and running logbooks is solid profit in the splinters alone, likewise breach splinters and catalysts should pay well which means you could farm maps or xesht

Ritual and abyss still have their place when it comes to crafting, the good omens are $$$. Both have their strategies involving tablet mods and in-map play style

Or, you know, you could leech ppl 😴 😴 😴

[vague dove]

do i still need to do these

i finish all my ascendancy

[delicate fiber]

how do you leech?

[pseudo barn]

This is a poe2 channel

[pseudo barn]

You simply join someone in their temple and then follow them around, usually the carry wants you to stay at the entrance of whatever room they are doing.

You can find people to leech from in the ingame global chat, #2┃looking-for-group or in the temple host channels on the forbidden trove discord.

[delicate fiber]

do we need to pay?

[pseudo barn]

Not if the carry doesn't asks for it.

Most don't do so.

[sly swallow]

hi man 🙂

[sly swallow]

you search for your own game server like europe in TFT map hosting

if you can't find it feel free to do other servers, it worked for me

then you have to run into the room with the host to loot as soon as possible, you need a filter that mostly just has annuls, chaos, greater chaos, perfect augmentation I think and abyss tablet

so you are testing 2 things: whether the host will allow you to loot right underneath him and whether there is enough loot, basically whether the temple is built right or not

if one of these conditions is not met you start searching for another host. and try to befriend the host, loot and drop divines in front of him in case he doesn't loot one of those so he knows you can be trusted

[rain geyser]

my sacrifice room never showed up, well ggs for this league..

wasted for 2weeks+ building this temple lol

[vast anvil]

good, vaal temple is the worst thing that happened to poe (both combined)

[frigid hearth]

You have to place the architect before building, because moving him destabilize the temple.

Now you either have to restart or continue with a less optimized temple.

[ornate dove]

i'd go with lees optimized option. what rooms to place to bypass the architect in this case? tyvm

and if i use a lock on this armory room in the end of my chain before killing the architict will killing him delete some of my snake even the end of it is locked?

[frigid hearth]

I don't think it would delete your snake, but I never tried. It might be possible you can fix it if you can sustain locks

[tidal meadow]

This game is trolling, every time i go to a copper citadel it turns into blue flag stone

[quartz cradle]

If your chain is properly locked you have zero concern running architect to relocate him. The ONLY issue is running out of lock medallions and you can't keep everything safe.

If you literally have one chain and lock the end of it, no rule will ever break that

I'd have to spend more time looking at these ~8 rooms between your chain and the architect, but if you lock the golemworks I highlighted you will only lose rooms between it (the golemworks) and the architectp

[ornate dove]

tyvm

appreciate the answer

[carmine ravine]

Anyone knows why the skeletal sniper has the chaos tag?

Looks like it's the gas from the command skill, it deals chaos damage

[ornate dove]

ty for the advice, i kept tyring to move him using lock medallions to save my chain and finally got him moved to the optimal place

[lilac grotto]

Does the 3rd trial have to be trial of the sekhemas? Gotten inscribed ultimatums and baryas at lvl 67 but only the baryas seem to be trials that will give the points

It can be either, I think Trial of Chaos just has a higher minimum level for that.

And in general, you can do any of the Trials for any set of points, if you want.

[hoary basalt]

I need some help figuring out the new currency market. Got a lucky Temple and got a Cultivation Orb and some stuff. Now if I go to Ange it says she'll list it for 530 Exalts, or other people are listing it for 550 Exalts. But https://poe.ninja/poe2/economy/vaal/currency?name=cul&value=exalted says it's going for 875 Exalts. Is the latter the "real price" or is it inflated?

Coming from PoE1, I'd tend to trust ninja, but no experience with the PoE2 market.

As a related question, would y'all recommend Sidekick (the overlay)?

[keen roost]

how can I open all slots in relic window?

[idle hazel]

The ones you can open up have a lock on them, those are just there.

[quartz cradle]

Ninja is only trying to read the market, you never go based off what it shows.

There are buy orders and sell offers. If you can instantly sell the orb for 530 and instead list it for 550, it might take a second but it will likely go through.

Or it sits there forever and you have to manually change it to 540 or 530, etc

Taking advantage of this difference in buy/sell price is the core concept behind arbitrage

Or taking advantage of it could be getting your full moneys worth out of an item, you don't have to sit there trading

[sly swallow]

no, I didnt like it, exiled exchange seems better

[hoary basalt]

New question: Is there a way to make a buy offer? There's an item I like that's been listed for pretty long now, at a fair bit higher than I think I can justify paying for it, the owner is online but I'm not able to whisper them (private?).

I guess all I can do is stare at their shop and leave?

[pseudo barn]

You can't

[ornate dove]

u can travel to his hideout and maybe if he is online and standing there, u can haggle him 😁

[hoary basalt]

I did in fact try, but alas, no joy

[keen roost]

is there a way to convert remnants into charges (power, frenzy, etc)?

[hoary basalt]

If using Blood of the Warrior with CI, the Life Recoup is utterly irrelevant, right? It's just for the ongoing Rage effect?

Are there any other life flask options for CI than that one and the super-pricey Olroth's? I'm going with "no".

[novel crow]

you can use the belt that allows you to put a mana flask in the life slot

though 99.9% of us are running headhunter instead

[hoary basalt]

I'm just getting into mid-tier maps so that's a bit of a push for me

[ornate dove]

if u need a headhunter i have a spare one u can have

[bitter jewel]

did you mean to ask this in #1┃after-acts-help? PoE 2 does have breach, but I don't believe fub did any guides for it in 0.4 since temple is all the rage.

[forest tree]

lol yep, thanks!

[idle hazel]

And you can probably earn a lot more than 5 divs in an hour given PoE2's economy

[severe shadow]

When farming abyss, do I need to pull the rare mobs out of the smoke to get a better chance at a good drop?

[quartz cradle]

When an Amamanus Void monster leaves its own void circle and dies, it drops the rare omens more often 👍

Bonus points if you clear your map of regular rare monsters in order for azmeri wisps to hunt abyss packs

Once the abyss monsters emerge, they should all retain the spirit-touched modifier and drop some extra candy hopefully.

Up to you if it's worth setting that up or just blasting a new map 🙂

[severe shadow]

I think this might be annoying enough for me to spend 50 hours building my temple instead of running abyss

[quartz cradle]

It's build dependent for sure but there's still a learning curve, like i usually have an annoying time running with Brutus brain wolves from the pounce skill until I realized I can use the same command skill as I do for minions 😅

Lot easier to get them where you need to once you've dealt with it a while, and there's still plenty of frustration building a temple haha. Up to you

[cobalt dust]

This has to do with multi- thread checked in the client going back login and login back into character refreshes the client

My assumption: I have ran into this too. It locks the core that is needed to run the game

But i get optimum fps with it so it's a trade off

[hoary basalt]

I did legitimately not realise is just a couple of Divines this league, that's insane. Guess I get on that hype then.

I can afford one, no worries.

[dark aspen]

Scrolled up and read some and saw your reply. Omgosh, do they have locks? Imma have to take a second mortgage out on my house to get my hands on one of those locks. lol.

[idle hazel]

Wrong kind of lock

[severe shadow]

Is there any comparison of loot for a tech vs no tech fully completed temple? I just finished the entire outer edge of my first chain using no tech and am considering restarting after watching a guide

[quartz cradle]

🤷‍♂️ Building is RNG and dedication, if you decide to rebuild and the game says nah no more spymasters or x room, you've just removed an activity for yourself in the hopes of getting more tinks from said activity.

If you aren't regularly getting people to leech your temple then you probably don't need to worry about minmaxing your tinks. Party play with leeches >>> solo tech temple, at least from what I've seen and heard

Just for reference I made a ~50-60 room temple with only a few techs in a hc private league, one day I let one of my three chains destabilize since it wasnt "efficient" or "planned" and guess what, I struggled to rebuild my rarity/effectiveness back up and the last 4-5 days before poe1 Leaguestart were less enjoyable because of it

If you're gonna play for at least another week or two and want perfection, send it

If you want to simply bounce from mappin to temple, just stick with it and blast

[severe shadow]

i think i've got a week or two left in me. lets see how this goes

[random wedge]

1. Does anyone know when Doryani replenishes his stock of Waystones??? If my Character is already 99/100 and is not really going to level up anymore, will his inventory of Waystones remain empty forever?
2. It seems Doryani Waystones level up for all League characters, and my newly leveled Character in endgame can't access lower level Waystones from Doryani. Is there a way to buy lower level Waystones once you have already reached T15 Waystones with another Character in the League?
3. Once I reached T15 maps, if I run a lower tier waystone (e.g., Tier 8), the map boss (or other monsters) no longer drops any Waystone of any tier. Is this intended??

[austere violet]

If I stack "#% of armour also applies to elemental damage" beyond 100% will it be wasted?

[ornate dove]

my thoughts exactly 😄 and ty for the compliment

also i have another question, when trying to place a golem work room in that empty corner it wont let me, should i build an armory in room 2 then a smithy in 3 and then put the golem work room in the corner?

[quartz cradle]

too advanced for me, i would use reddit + Sulo poe tool + ctlrF here on discord sometimes works

[random wedge]

I am currently using the Felled Hideout, and it's setup the way I like it. I recently found the Limestone Hideout, but I want to know if I switch to Limestone Hideout, but later want to return to the Felled Hideout, will the game remember by old Hideout layout, or will I have to redo everything from scratch.

[bitter jewel]

It does! Each hideout layout is saved independently. And the layout is saved across leagues.

[random wedge]

That's great news. Thank you.

[idle hazel]

The only time that isn't the case is if you're using a limited decoration - usually an MTX - and remove it from one hideout to place it in another. However, you can save the design of a hideout to a file and load it in later, so you can do that if you're worried.

[idle hazel]

You may want to check which game's channel you're typing in

[harsh herald]

Woopsie

[open furnace]

anyone know what i should do to move my architect back to the middle?

[random wedge]

With this setup, would the Architect be forced to move to the middle/red spot if killed...

[quartz cradle]

Your architect currently has two tiles he can move to, which are next to his current position

You would need to enclose your temple a bit so that there is a 3x3 space for architect to relocate into, which means removing that little chain ending in a smithy as well as the longer chain of golem/smithy. If no 3x3 space? RNG

[quartz cradle]

Your architect currently has no open spaces to move to, he will move at random and break his rule of 2 tile distance

Need to let those middle paths destabilize so that a 3x3 space can be created. No 3x3 space = no guarantee

[random wedge]

Thanks. Isn't the red marked square an 'open space' for the Architect to move to??

Would this be a better setup??

or this? would this make a 3x3 space, which still guarantees the move to the middle spot??

[quartz cradle]

To my knowledge you are correct, this red dot is an open 3x3 AFTER architect moves, it counts in the same turn iirc.

Your first picture is not the same, you removed the two pathways that were blockin

[quartz cradle]

Too much removal, check that left corner

I see a 3x3 open

[random wedge]

Sorry, so just to confirm, you approve of this image right?

[quartz cradle]

Yeet

[random wedge]

awesome... thank you....

[quartz cradle]

Good luck

[random wedge]

And I would only need to lock that barracks to the left side right (when I kill the architect)

[quartz cradle]

Right, it's all one chain

Well

Maybe you lock the second armour across the street

If it gets destabilized same time as architect

I think it opens a new 3x3. Unsure of the order of operations but should prob double check that

If you really want architect dead center I think you lock both armouries

[random wedge]

hmmm.... okay.... that makes sense... it would rule out same time destab causing the Architect to move elsewhere

[hoary basalt]

I noticed Ange will sometimes sell my stuff (both Currency and Shop) even while I'm offline, but when I search in trade, I will sometimes see that people are "Offline" rather than having "Travel to Hideout" available. Why is that?

Like, does offline trade work or not?

[novel crow]

offline means not in ange's shop

when you are offline but your stuff is in ange's shop it is always up for trade

offline in the trade search means "in person but offline"

[hoary basalt]

Ah, ok. So I don't need to keep the game open constantly so I can sell stuff, that helps

Related: Is there a way to get more currency sell slots? I foolishly bought the 6-sell-tabs pack and belatedly realised it's doing nothing to increase the very low currency sell count.

[novel crow]

no

you have to cancel and try again if all your slots aren't selling

and the league is dead so you can't lowball by very much and expect stuff to sell

[hoary basalt]

Yup, got it

[novel crow]

best way is to set up your sales before going to bed

then not worry about currency exchange being slow

[keen roost]

is rarity of items boost the number of fragments from a citadel boss?

[sly swallow]

no, because this is treated like a waystone, not like currency

for citadels you get tablets and a map with maximum increasd chance of waystones

wow, ok, thanks! so it better also to switch the tree for it as well

and what about the map adding +1 to boss modifier? no need?

you can devour or Pounce + Culmination II + Ailith's Chimes

devour and pounce good for mapping. for bosses you can use Lingering Illusion

idm it cuz it becomes purple when i have charged staff on but just

looks a bit goofy

[cinder niche]

How do temple locks work?. Does it prevent the rooms deletion just one time or is it permanent?

[restive grail]

one time im p sure

[cinder niche]

Okay

[hoary basalt]

Dumb question from Ninja. There's a fellow running Herald of Ash + Swift Affliction III. Since the Herald ignite is 3s, doesn't that mean Swift Affliction achieves nothing except lower the Ignite duration (unless they have other sources of reducing the Ignite duration)?

(It's also only non-Ailment damage over time that gets increased...)

I also see a lot of people running Acrimony, which again, uh, that's also only non-Ailment DoTs that trigger it?... am I missing something?

[bitter jewel]

So it's possible whoever made the build didn't know how it worked, but Herald of Ash is weird. It "ignites" but it's not a normal ignite it's more like...just fire damage over time.

I've never tested this interaction, but it might catch the damage increase as well.

Same deal with Acrimony, the idea is that it applies damage like it's not an ailment even though the spirit gem text says it is.

[hoary basalt]

That's big funk... and very hard to test.

[hoary basalt]

The "Limited to 1" on runes like Saqawal's Rune of the Sky... is that

• Global: Can only have one on your entire equipment set?
• Shared with other "Limited to 1" runes, or you can have 1 of each (I'm guessing latter because I see builds using multiple "limited runes" on ninja but want to confirm)?

[bitter jewel]

The limitation is exclusive to the rune in question.

So only one Saqawal's per character

[fallow flower]

that line on armour don't actually give movement speed ?

[restive relic]

any way to speed up sirus fight or its just a bunch of waiting around uintil he lands

[hoary basalt]

Probably speeds up a fair bit if you ask in the right Discord channel

But yeah no just deal with him being a floaty diva.

[restive relic]

whats the right channel/

oh this is poe 2

my b lol

[ornate dove]

a late bloomer just finally finished his temple xD

[ashen nexus]

Hi i need some advice with this one..... im stuck with these choices and can only place golem works! any idea where to place locks? or is my temple done for? lol haha

[ornate dove]

best one to place in that starting point empty slot is a generator

and the locks u need to use them on the last room of ur snake chain so for the big snake that would be the theomaterg and the second snake the corruption chamer

if u dont have a generator just run it without it

[sullen moon]

anyone doing ascednancy carry?

[viral notch]

allso looking for trial carry here 😂 50 divs for u if u can 🙂

[idle hazel]

No paid carries here, but you can try asking for a free one in https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1308714168576249887

[hoary basalt]

Dumb question, but... does going back to hideout "use up" on of your tries in a map? I want to say no because I feel like I tried that before, but found myself in a 0-retries map with 64% cold resist by accident.

[idle hazel]

No, in PoE2 you can enter and exit a map as many times as you want, only dying depletes a try.

[hoary basalt]

The irony: When I went back to my hideout and went "Where's my Glacial Runes?", they were in my inventory

[warm summit]

I just finished the campain for the first time and have 2 questions:

1. Are there any good mapping guides you guys would recommend?
2. Do i need to go for chaos Resist right away or is that for true lategame?

[hoary basalt]

So why can't I go here?...

Connection to my left is open, I just finished the me-currently-on-this-map-map, nothing special.

(Bonus: A Mansion in the Mist blocked by the fact that the wisps are on the stupid mansion. But unrelated.)

Aaand yeah I can go south, even though there's no connection. But not west.

I am confuse. 1st of April from the map?...

[long barn]

Stuff like that is fairly common, where things just don't seem to connect properly. I dunno if we should be bug reporting it or not.

As someone who mostly doesn't do my own crafting, are the various Expedition currencies of any use to me at all? I don't see any way to use them to get something that's worth regular currency without doing a bunch of crafting.

[hoary basalt]

What resist overcap philosophy is there in PoE2? I'm occasionally dodging Elemental Weakness curses in maps (but the way it's implemented is pretty fair and modestly dodgeable), what else can temporarily nerf your resists?

[quartz cradle]

Some monsters apply exposure with their skills, typically -10%

Vaal guards are one

[hoary basalt]

Interesting. Is this some big telegraph or just with their standard pewpew/swingswings?

It's essentially a non-factor except for rares... but that's worth thinking about.

[restive grail]

how the hell does this have 3 sockets without being corrupted

[idle hazel]

Exceptional items can drop with quality above 20%, or with an extra socket.

They will always be either normal, as in your image, or Unique.

[hoary basalt]

Spoiler-free answers, please (first league):

I finished the Tier 15 Corrupted Monolith, ran a few maps, see that I don't have any Doryani quests anymore.

I do see two suspicious-looking maps (The Burning Monolith and The Stone Citadel). Am I supposed to just hit them now, or do I want to wait until I'm given a quest to go there (so I don't waste the clear and have to find them again later)?

Pretty confident I can chonk through whatever is in there 🔵

[idle hazel]

You can enter the Burning Monolith as many times as you want, and you don't need a quest for either, though I think going to the Monolith for the first time gives you a quest to go to the Citadels.

[hoary basalt]

Sweet, cheers!

(Can confirm, that's how it works.)

[sly swallow]

ideally you want 100% ele res, overcapped, but not necessary

it's not that important at all

[hoary basalt]

Onto something else: The pattern for corrupting gems is get to 20/20, Vaal always, if you're happy and rich use the double gem krangle orb additionally?

[sly swallow]

whenever you want a skill gem you check the market prices, you only craft it if it's way cheaper than the market

but also for example if you are farming lots of divines it is expensive to spend your time on crafting a level 21 skill gem

[hoary basalt]

Yeah, I'm just fact checking myself so a) I know what's available in PoE2 and b) for future SSF purposes.

Basically, all you can get with a gem double corrupt is +1 level and +3% quality, correct? No special outcomes to keep in mind?

[hoary basalt]

Trade league question: Which Unique Maps make any sense doing? I've had a lot of luck with Ezomyte Runestones, dropping some of the real expensive runes, but I'm not sure any of the others are remotely worth doing once you're starting to be comfortable farming t16 maps at modest investment.

[alpine kite]

soa re the only options for Spell Leech the blood mage node or that Covenant robe?

[sly swallow]

the atziri staff can have the mod with the spell leech too

[hoary basalt]

I see in PoE2, Corrupted Blood is "unrelated" to bleeding. How prevalent is it?

Got myself a jewel with Immune to Corrupted Blood and that would be pretty much a yes in PoE1. I'm CI but I guess that's irrelevant...

[opal mauve]

yo peeps

im in the vault tryna fight the blood priests

but thye just kinda bugged out and not wanting to fight me

an1 how ot fix this

[alpine kite]

oh nice, will keep a lookout for that then, gives an option besides the robe at least. Thanks!

[hoary basalt]

Does Charge Regulation actually affect attacks that consume your charges? E.g. when Falling Thunder consumes your power charges, will it actually get the More Crit Chance that PoB claims you get?

[vagrant summit]

can anyone think of a good way to proc srs while in bear form? trying to trigger heartbound loop and minion revive timer is slow

[alpine kite]

what's the math like for excess HP regen applied to ES? Is the regen percentage applied to total HP, and the resulting value is added to ES, or is the regen percentage applied to total ES?

[vagrant summit]

the former

[alpine kite]

thanks!

[vagrant summit]

it also works with sources of flat regen, which is pretty good bc life % ends up being a pretty small number most of the time lol

[alpine kite]

yeah, base regen % does seem rarer on this tree

[hoary basalt]

Are the servers dying for anyone else? I keep getting kicked but my own internet seems stable.

[alpine kite]

yes the hamsters are dying

[hoary basalt]

Probably unrelated but huh? I use the same weapon in both sets (Quarterstaff). Confirmed the Blasphemy aura is not visible when switching to Set I.

So why would Blasphemy not be valid in Set I? There's also no Spirit difference...

Oh I am dumb, it's a stat requirement thing. That could have been signalled better...

[alpine kite]

Can The Covenant and Soul Tether belt not be combined to have spell life leech refill ES?

[bitter jewel]

It should work

All Covenant does is give a global 10% of spell leech, it doesn't directly interact with Soul Tether's unique effect that allows overleech to go to ES.

[alpine kite]

hmm... doesn't appear to be but maybe I am missing something. I have a lot going on here and it's likely I'm misunderstanding a mechanic.

[alpine kite]

Meaning what...? Are those two statements not contradictory?

[bitter jewel]

So a very common misconception with Soul Tether is that it applies any leech effect that would exceed 100% of maximum life to ES.

[alpine kite]

ah... yeah that's the misconception I apparently have lol

[bitter jewel]

But that's not what it says. It says, "Excess Life Recovery from Leech" is applied to ES. By default, leech effects stop when life hits 100%

So you need a way to make leech effects apply beyond 100%

The general way to do this is to allocate Fast Metabolism

https://poe2db.tw/us/Fast_Metabolism

[alpine kite]

that feel like the kinda of legalese gotcha you'd expect from a slimy lawyer who's in trouble with the Bar

[bitter jewel]

It is a bit tricky for sure. It's a very specific mechanical interaction that doesn't have a lot of options in how you put it together (today, I assume more will come)

Also, you're not dumb to have missed this. It's a rare case where the in game description is actually missing critical information. It doesn't imply this at all, you essentially need to see Fast Metabolism to infer it.

[alpine kite]

Well, thank you for the clarification! Where do I make suggestions for the game because that interaction is so convoluted, misrepresented, and non-intuitive it's asinine, lol

[bitter jewel]

imo, the issue is more with Soul Tether's design than the mechanical interation. The PoE 1 version of the belt carries the needed mod to enable overleeching innately. This is not present on the PoE 2 version.

honestly it feels like a case where an item designer who was extremely familar with PoE 1 rebalanced the belt for PoE 2 without really considering how a new player would read it.

[alpine kite]

yeah I agree, but it's kind of silly. Belt doesn't actually do what it says unless you have some other mechanic unlocked. And the belt neither mentions this other mechanic nor explain it won;t actually do anything on its own -_-

oh well. Not the most expensive mistake I've made today

[bitter jewel]

To be pedantic, the issue is that the belt does exactly what it says. It applies leech in excess of full health to ES. But you need to know that leech doesn't occur above full health by default in order to enable it.

And the belt doesn't communicate this, nor does the Leech tooltip.

[alpine kite]

yeah. Well, thank you for the help, at least now I know what's going on!

[alpine kite]

Yeah that was it. Making this idea into a reality has cost more than I though with all the missteps, but think it's finally mostly working. Had to reallocate some points and redo the free Delirium notable skill on amulet to Fast Metabolism and it finally all clicked

[bitter jewel]

Nice! And the learning pays dividends going forward as well

[alpine kite]

certainly hope so, lol

[native cedar]

hi i have a question since this is not working. im using bloodhound mark and this is not culling on mark

[long barn]

I feel like I'm missing something with T15 map sustain. I've seen more than one T15 drop from a single map, uh, once I think? Right now I've got me Atlas points set to "try to roll a cartographer's box", but I can't get that to happen either. Is there any trick to making more than one T15 drop from a given map besides just "increase waystone drop chance however you can"?

[idle hazel]

You only need one to drop to sustain them, generally

[long barn]

Sure, but I'd like to have a few because I die sometimes. 🙂

It was generally pretty easy at earlier tiers to get 2 or 3 to drop.

[sly swallow]

if you are not looting multiple maps per map then your map is not set up the right way

unless you are farming crystals or rituals

you need all of the atlas tree passives, they should buff your map mods, quantity, rarity, rares

you need the league mechanic passives, 6 mods on the map, high rarity/rare monsters, ideally rares have 1 more mod, the tablets should have high rolls of effectiveness, rares, rarity, unique abyss tablet, delirium maybe etc

[fallow flower]

hey all does elemental weakness work on physical skills with convert to cold ? ? also does it work on permafrost bolt or better to just use oil granade for the 20% exposure ? thanks ahead

[sweet wyvern]

yes and they should stack

[fallow flower]

but it dosent show on boss or mobs right ?

cant even tell the diffrance thats why i ask q-q

[south hazel]

What would be the best build for "Summon 60 minions" steam achievement?

[hoary basalt]

What do you mean "It doesn't show"? It certainly ought to. Are you running more than one curse (limit 1 curse on enemies by default)?

[fallow flower]

Skill level was too low for it to work on lvl 80 boss

[hoary basalt]

Does Tablet ilvl matter in any way? I don't see that there are any ilvl-locked tablet modifiers, but higher-ilvl tablets (white) are considerably more expensive than lower-ilvl ones on trade.

[hoary basalt]

And related question: Is it correct that adding multiples of the same Tablet doesn't stack? (Tried triple Abyss and just got 4 fissures, which seems normal for one Tablet.)

[bitter jewel]

The explicit affixes on the two tablets will both apply, but you won't get double the abyss in the map if that's what you're asking.

[hoary basalt]

Hm. I guess that's why going triple of the same can still make sense, to juice the "normal" mechanic appearance as much as possible.

[bitter jewel]

yep, exactly

[hoary basalt]

And ilvl is, indeed, not a factor?

I mean, of the Tablets themselves

[alpine kite]

Blackflame Covenant wouldn't convert Infernal Hound's damage to chaos since the hound isn't a spell, am I reading that right?

[tacit eagle]

Correct.

[alpine kite]

ok, thank you

[hoary basalt]

Does anyone have any experience with https://github.com/micahriggan/poe2stash or a similar stash tab analyzer for PoE2? Things like this were a life saver in PoE1.

[junior hornet]

it's not possible yet

[hoary basalt]

Not possible? So like, the above tool doesn't work?...

[junior hornet]

nope, things like wealthy exile can't exist yet because we can't access player's stashes yet, that tool is only a bulk price check tool, like exiled exchange but does it automatically for multiple items, which will be rate limited

like if you spam the search button in the trade site 10 times you will be locked for a minute

[hoary basalt]

Very cool. Cheers for the info!

Then probably the league will just end without me knowing whatever the heck I shuffled into my stash

Probably nothing valuable, anyway

[flint anchor]

I'm trying to maximize my bleed damage with Rake, and I want to confirm my understanding of how various debuffs interact with bleed and bleed magnitude. Does parried debuff increase the magnitude of bleeding applied? And same question for Open Weakness. Does it affect bleeding magnitude as well?

From my understanding, they wouldn't, because they affect damage taken by the enemy (like armor or resist does), and so they'll affect the bleed damage post application, but not the bleed magnitude itself. Is that correct? (Extra unsure about things because parried debuff says 'attack damage' and I don't know if that excludes ailments applied by attacks or not, because it's an ailment and not technically an attack)

[bitter jewel]

Re: Parried debuff, correct. The debuff is applied to the enemy, so its impact is downstream of the pre-mitigation damage calculation from which bleed magnitude is derived.

Open Weakness will apply toward magnitude, because while reveal weakness is a thing that shows up on the enemy's health bar, the 50% more damage mod is granted to your damage based on a state of their health.

[flint anchor]

Ah, good to know. Thank you!

One clarification ask then: So because parried debuff says 'attack damage', it wont affect bleed damage at all? (Even if applied by an attack?)

[bitter jewel]

Correct, DoTs are neither spell nor attack damage themselves. There are some exceptions where they can scale based on attack/spell damage, but in PoE2 this is quite limited so far. See for example, contagion:

BUT the key reason why the parried debuff doesn't apply here is because it's a debuff that impacts the amount of attack damage the enemy takes. Generic %inc attack damage nodes do impact your Rake bleed magnitude, because those will scale the pre-mitigation hit that bleed is calculated off of.

Does that make sense?

[flint anchor]

Totally. Yeah. %increased/more applied to enemies is a different bucket, but it counts as a mitigation type, therefore does not affect magnitude.

Wasn't sure if parried's 'more attack damage taken' counted for ailments applied by attacks. Thank you for clarifying that it does not.

Also thanks for clarifying that open weakness is a buff to me (and thus affects ailment magnitude) rather than a debuff to the enemy.

[bitter jewel]

For sure, you're welcome.

Revealing Weakness is a bit opaque as to whether it's technically a debuff or not. The tooltip isn't clear one way or another.

[flint anchor]

Yeah, more vague than usual.

Typically PoE is like, pretty dang clear and specific.

[bitter jewel]

But the reason I'm confident in saying you'll benefit from it here is that the damage increase doesn't come from the debuff/status itself, but as a conditional more damage buff to your player based on the state of the enemy's health bar.

[flint anchor]

Cool beans. So I gotta time my bleeds with their weakness windows.

[bitter jewel]

Yeah also, that just feels in line with the design philosophy of how reveal weakness works, considering it's the thematic ascendency for Rake builds.

[flint anchor]

Both better and worse. Potentially much higher damage than a 22.5% damage bonus if it worked the other way. But also more work, lol

I'm trying to hit as close as possible to 100% crit with tangletongue for bleed fun. I know it used to be meta, with like twice the crit chance it currently has.

I'm pretty budget/poor. Just making it into maps and with only a few div (in hardcore). Any tips for ez crit?

I have the typical crit clusters, and annointed a super cheap 'near sighted' on my ammy. I assume my only other real 'easy' sources are crit on ammy and gloves, if I'm using a unique spear?

[bitter jewel]

I'm away from home and without PoB today, but if you're not familar with ninja yet, poe.ninja is a great resource for this kind of question.

https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal?allskills=Rake&class=Amazon

It shows 115 Amazons using Rake in some form, most of which seem to be going crit.

Broadly, with Amazon you'll be accuracy stacking for the crit chance scaling on the Critical Strike ascendency node.

At max overcap, that node gives you 6.25% base crit, which is additive with whatever base is on the spear itself.

[flint anchor]

Yeah. I've been doing some accuracy stacking, though it seems to get some pretty steep diminishing returns in regards to increasing the bonus past 4.5% or so.

Just a really bad ass spear would be better than tangletongue's double crits I assume. Though getting one of those I think is out of my grasp at the moment. (Also double crit is just a fun idea I enjoy)

At this point though I suppose my questions would be better suited to the 'build-planning' channel. Thanks again for the help!

[pliant swift]

Hello! I would appreciate any help I can get. I'm trying to unlock all my atlas points but I'm struggling to understand which objectives I haven't completed. As an example, trying for all map bosses; I know for certain I've done the Pinnacle of Flame as it's completed, and I've been running T15 maps for quite some time. I'm not sure if it's a Citadel or Anomaly boss. Any suggestions on how to go about completing this?

[flint anchor]

Here's another mechanics question: Do I still have only a 95% chance to hit, even with amazon's overcap of accuracy (from the Critical Strike node?)

[idle hazel]

You can (and generally should) have 100% chance to hit

[flint anchor]

Oh lol. For some reason I thought the default cap was 95%. Whoops

[idle hazel]

It was in PoE1, at one point, but it was changed quite a long time ago.

[flint anchor]

Ah okay. Thank you!

[alpine kite]

is there a way to slow down the loss Infernal Flame? I know it's 50% a second, but it's so fast balancing at high Flame is basically impossible

short of getting out a metronome and starting a cast every 2.15 seconds on the dot!

[odd imp]

Does PoB not work with the heroic tragedy jewel yet?

[sly swallow]

idk how to slow it down, never heard of builds with permanent high infernal flame

[alpine kite]

ok, so probably not one then. Thanks!

[past horizon]

Hello,

Does anyone know how it works if two AoE attacks hit a mob at the same time? How is it decided which of the two applies its damage first?

[bitter jewel]

Can you give an example of the situation that sparks this question?

Easier to answer in a real world context

[past horizon]

An example would be: Shield Wall, which triggers an AoE when destroyed, and the use of Resonating Shield (which is also an AoE) to destroy the wall

The Resonating Shield's AoE spreads beyond the wall, potentially hitting a mob located behind it "simultaneously" with the Shield Wall's AoE

More generally, I'd like to know how this is determined. Perhaps the AoE that deals the most damage takes priority, or the one that was created first?

[bitter jewel]

Resonating Shield damage would apply first

The damage from that hit destroys the wall and damages the mob simultaneously

The wall being destroyed triggers the wall AoE

I know it feels visually like it's simultaneous but it's actually not from an order of damage and server standpoint.

[past horizon]

Okay, I think I understand, that makes sense in this case.

You think there are cases where the server has to decide which damage should be applied first, meaning different sources of damage that are applied during the same request to the server? (Sorry, I'm probably not phrasing this correctly, but I think you'll still understand the question.) If so, could you explain how they are prioritized? (I couldn't find anything about it on the wiki.)

Thanks for taking the time to answer anyway!

[bitter jewel]

It might be a lack of creativity on my part, but I can't really think of a circumstance where the server would need to arbitrarily pick an instance of damage over another. PoE is pretty specific on where damage sources come from.

There are lots of ways to trigger damage from some other damage in this game, but those are all sequential.

That's why I asked for the shield wall context, because typically damage that can appear to be simultaneous is traceable to a source before it.

[past horizon]

Thank you so much for all this clarification.

What about Heralds, specifically if we use The Coming Calamity, for example? 😂

Oh no, they're clever, their effects don't overlap, I got carried away

Well, that's all very well thought out :p

[bitter jewel]

well herald of ash and ice could trigger off the same kill and apply to the same adjacent mob

but there's no reliable way to know which applies first

[past horizon]

Ah yes, that's right --', once again I got carried away...

[bitter jewel]

Nah no sweat, it's all great questions

[gilded cipher]

I'm getting pissed I haven't found a citadel. Is this normal distance from Ziggy to not find one?

[past horizon]

A little tip: make sure you've unlocked access to the monolith (plus a quick visit to advance the quest).

[gilded cipher]

oh, haven't done this. Wow, you can traverse to it to start the quest....

[quartz cradle]

You don't need to traverse to it

Just kinda hover the bottom and your cursor should change

It lets you enter without pathing to it

Also despite doing this on new characters as well, I feel like it's superstition 😅. From your video I'd say you are on the verge of being unlucky but not quite there yet. Get another screen or two away and they should start popping up, if they don't, send another vid lol

[gilded cipher]

Well, I got the quest now so that's progress.

[quartz cradle]

My friend found citadels before me and never once touched the monolith, yet I still go start the quest when I hit maps lol

[past horizon]

Yes, it's almost entirely superstition; some say it's a bug for certain players, but anyway... It's more likely that you were just unlucky.

For your information, the location of the citadels is indicated by a beam of light when they are at the edge of the fog.

[gilded cipher]

Oh, found one. I have to backtrack significantly.

[astral escarp]

hey guys, want to start again with the game, was there when the game was released. What is the best tools i need for PoE2? i only know exiled exchange, but im sure there are now many better tools out there?

Could someone please explain why I can't place a synthflesh Lab in the real temple when I can do so in the Sulo temple tool (as can be seen in image 2 and 3).

[past horizon]

No, unfortunately, if you disconnect and reconnect in town, the map will be lost.

Perhaps logging out and logging back in normally might fix the situation? (although I imagine you've already tried that)

[past horizon]

Perhaps because the "Free" option is activated?

[random wedge]

No, it's in-game only. I can share a link to Sulo for my temple and you can play around and see that it allows for synthflesh lab placement...

https://sulozor.github.io/#/atziri-temple?t=AjIiSSIyOmE6MmoiMSJJIjI6InFJUBoqEiphSWoiAACYABI6IjIyAAAAcSoyMTk6AABxahJqIjJhAHFqOjJySSI6Mmo6YXqBIkkiMmkIAHFqMvWr7Q8mdtJ6Xc0B

[drifting dirge]

just re-logged and got TP-ed in town, and map appeared as failed, RIP Lineage gem... I hate these kind of bugs, it makes you quit the game

[past horizon]

You were unlucky, it's never happened to me even though I've done it a lot :/

[past horizon]

Sorry, I tried to understand what might be wrong, but I don't know enough about temple construction to really help you. It should connect normally, it's strange.

Perhaps someone else can help you.🤞

[past horizon]

Perhaps try reproducing the problem on another temple planner, if that's possible on those as well; you'll at least be able to pinpoint the source of the problem more precisely. To be sure it's not a bug in the game, in which case we'll have to hope the next Synthflesh lab can be placed or that you can do otherwise

[flint anchor]

So I'm new to maps. I'm in hardcore, but feel pretty survivable at the moment. Lvl 74, not taking much damage with 60% evade, 52% deflect, 22% block, 2150 life and 629 ES (+ ghost shrouds) as a rake bleed build. Bosses aren't instant delete, but they're not slow fights. Like 30 sec to a minute.

I'm at tier 5 maps right now. Should I just keep pushing higher map tier (with less dangerous blue maps) to get levels faster? Or should I be hunting specific types of content and upgrading my atlas board, or what?

[quartz cradle]

You run white maps or just 1 to 3 mod maps, avoiding dangerous mods in favor of easier ones. Try transmuting a map and then augmenting it... Now you have the choice to alch which rerolls those first two mods, or regal orb which would keep the mods. This is how you make mapping easier in hc without sacrificing loot or the ability to complete quest progression

Once sufficiently leveled and geared (up to you and your build, we can't tell you that) you then attempt corrupted nexuses for your atlas points, along with unique maps such as megaliths/essence/kalandra

Or, if you're Ben you just blast map progression while on the way up to level 80, 90, etc.

I'd say going into level 75+ zones there's a spike in difficulty compared to early mappin

For now enjoy being out of campaign, if you are new to maps best to take it one step at a time, this probably means continuing to level up until 84.

Skill gems can be huge for your build and it can take a while for your first mapping character to stack them up

With lvl 18 and 19 skill gems and you'll have automatic scaling

[flint anchor]

Gotcha, good to know! The lvl 75+ spike. Yeah I feel pretty tanky at the moment. But I'm afraid of getting to the point where I find out I'm not tanky in a 'go back to beach' kind of way.

And yeah, I'm dying for higher skill gems. I'm only dropping 15s right now when I want like lvl 17 ones x_x

[quartz cradle]

Yeah 2k won't cut it lol

Max hit I'm referring to

The good thing is that for a lot of defensive pieces you already have the minimum level

Picking up magic bases to greater essence, or picking up normal bases to use greater transmute/augment

[flint anchor]

Oh yeah I hate how I only have 2k hp, and I have +health on a LOT of pieces of gear, too.

[quartz cradle]

Sounds like you're an Amazon? Can be very tanky in HC when set up properly but reaching a comfortable setup can be challenging

Whether you stack es on top of life or just juice life + evasion (former is better imo)

Lot easier if you're hc trade not hcssf

[flint anchor]

I'm waiting for a few more levels to upgrade my gear again. I feel like if I can get a good chest I'll be sitting pretty

yeah I'm hc trade, just poor

Weapons are expensiveee. Can't find anything even remotely in my price range that'll beat tangletongue.

[placid cape]

how to disable this pop ups?

i click on words and this notes pop ups

[bitter jewel]

You can close them with the little "x" in the upper right corner

[placid cape]

yeah

but is there a way to prevent it

so i dont have to press x

[bitter jewel]

Well those are the helper text pop up when you click on keyword text

So if you don't click on the text they won't pin to your UI

[sly swallow]

when playing solo I guess work on your atlas tree and try crafting better items first

I personally wouldn't touch evasion in hardcore if I had less than 90% evasion and 90% deflect, otherwise too much gambling for me

even then, if I had access to such good items I would still go just for ES

[ebon sandal]

Hi, Are tamed beasts better than bind spectre ones when it comes to clearing maps? I'm a new player, PoE2 level 78 Disciple of Varashta. Only ever had spectres with me.

[young hazel]

Is there a date for new league

[quartz cradle]

No, they are borderline useless offensively.

You can use infernal legion for some companions but p sure spectres still win out

[gilded cipher]

I cannot open this citadel despite being pathed to it. Am I missing something?

[bitter jewel]

what level of waystone are you using?

[gilded cipher]

15, but I cannot even open the UI

[random wedge]

Try running one of the other maps around the citadel map. Specially that north map. Or, log out and log in and see if that fixes the UI. It happens every now and then with some towers as well, where you should be able to open the map, but it just doesn't seem to work.

[gilded cipher]

I was able to do the map above the citadel despite it not being connected.

[random wedge]

Just run morr maps around the citadel, and eventually you should be able to run the Citadel map

[gilded cipher]

I'm so excited for my first Arbiter kill. After being locked into the arena and coldn't TP out to get an ignite Charm. I bested him and got this very rewarding loot.

[dawn flame]

is there a way to buy these maps trading? i can't seem to find them through the trading searcher

[frigid hearth]

wrong channel, but you can do this

[dawn flame]

oh, sorry and thank you!

[vivid linden]

Can you orb of chance unique charms like The Fall of the Axe? Or are they drop only?

[undone pagoda]

you should be able to. do you need fall of the axe?

[fickle chasm]

Does the numbers on lethal pride timeless jewel matter ?

Like how many leadership commanded over ?

Or just the warrior under matter

Ok I figured out

[cursive willow]

is there a guide, you guys would recommend on how to get started with playing the endgame?
I just finished the story and ran my first map. (I also picked out a build guid for a CoC Arc/Spark Sorc, that I intend to follow)
Preferably id do more farming than trading (although I dont intend to play strictly SSF)

[hoary basalt]

What's more important when looking for Cleansed maps to juice, -Quant+Rarity or +1 Level?

(Powerful Map Boss in either case.)

Planning on slapping Unforeseen Consequences + my best two Abyss juicing tablets and pray.

[flint anchor]

It looks really hard to path for ES while also doing a Rake/bleed build. My plant oracle is like, doing super awesome with like 5k ES CI, and 1k mana + mind over matter. But yeah, hitting the bleed nodes while also going ES seems difficult.

[sly swallow]

fair

[signal socket]

does having 6 mods on a waystone matter for deadly map bosses? like beyond just the stats of the modifiers

after getting the set of atlas points

[gentle bay]

for a passive tree node like this is it better to go a hybrid AR/ES helm or go for a full AR base?

[cursive willow]

quick question:
where can I see my actual crit chance for a spell, after all bonuses to crit chance apply?

because this only tells me the base 9%

[gentle bay]

open the information tab for the individual skill

[cursive willow]

wait where do i find that?

AHHHH

there it is!

thanks!

[gentle bay]

no problem

[cursive willow]

very quick follow-up question:

if my spark has 41.76% crit chance, is that high enough to where a CoC setup should start to work?

[gentle bay]

realistically you'd just want as close to 100% as possible for CoC

~40%-50% isn't bad to start to be fair

[cursive willow]

hmm
i was trying to follow a CoC Arc/Spark Stormweaver build guide
I just finished the campaign and have practically 0 gear, i just jumbled together the gems as far as I could and it was complete garbage

but then i did something else wrong

i now tinkered around with the infusion component of the build and that made it a lot more playable
i still trigger CoC Arc maybe once every 20 seconds or so but at least spark kills stuff on its own now 😂

[gentle bay]

could always try tossing in a pinpoint critical supp into the mix

[cursive willow]

already have that

[gentle bay]

inexorable critical II as well

[cursive willow]

im not sure if i have that one tho 🤔

ill check when I get back home

[hoary basalt]

Ambush also exists, though it's kind of dead against bosses.

Also, are you factoring Power Charges? Those won't show up on your crit chance in town, but should be pretty much constant in battle.

Throw in Charge Regulation for that big 24% more crit chance.

[cursive willow]

I dont have/make any power charges

But I just learned that CoC scales off the pure damage a crit does so I think my overall damage is just too low

[indigo yarrow]

new league when?

[atomic creek]

This game still alive?

[cursive willow]

how can I refresh the items that regular vendors offer?
id like to shop for a particular base without having to rely on gambling

[bitter jewel]

Vendor inventory partially refreshes on every level up

Though be aware, in campaign each town vendor has a level cap they can roll items up to, corresponding to their act zone levels.

[cursive willow]

good to know, thanks!

[cobalt dust]

if it was not the servers would not exist

[cobalt dust]

guessing with or after .5 release

end of april

[cobalt dust]

Did you know Spark is a boss killer

[indigo yarrow]

i heard it will be June but i am not sure

[cobalt dust]

Either way expect a long wait

[indigo yarrow]

sadge

[cobalt dust]

June seems too long

May seems realistic

Imagine them busting out a new character plus 0.5 plus a new league...

[cursive willow]

I did not!

Though with how I am using it right now it clears low tier maps just fine

[cobalt dust]

Yeah adding + 123 level of global modifiers is crazy good

[hoary basalt]

Yowza, that mana cost.

[violet edge]

can the cooldown of mirage archer be reduced somehow?

[slow lynx]

I use resonating shield and I’m pretty slow with clearing. I’ve gotten the reduced movement penalty from active blocking nodes in the tree and movement speed on my boots, what else?

[past horizon]

If you can afford it : https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Mobility

[slow lynx]

It’s hard clearing up a socket for that although I can see how it works. Right now I have
Deadly resolve (main build component)
Physical mastery (very nice gem)
Brutality 3 (damage)
Heavy swing (damage)
Stoicism 2 (damage)

[cobalt dust]

Finishing the acts was pretty difficult this league not gonna lie - brain teaser bosses mechanics

[vivid parrot]

Is there any reliable way to drop inscribed ultimatums? I'm plaing SSF and need 3rd ascendancy. Too bad at the game to waste time on 3 floors of sekhemas

[hoary basalt]

You can do Local Knowledge + Desert maps

Dunno if that's "reliable" per se but it's a big up

[random wedge]

After finishing my temple recently, I have noticed that the 'Juatalotli's Medallion' (prevents the next Destabilisation of a Room) drops have really dried up. It used to be that I would get many more than I even needed (2 per turn), and had many in reserve. Now, I can barely get 1-2, and have slowly dropped to zero in reserve for my current run. If I don't drop 2 this turn, my temple will start destabilizing. I always start a New Instance for each temple run, but that has also not been much help. It can't just be bad RNG over last 7 runs, where basically the Level 3 Spymasters have stopped dropping the Juatalotli's Medallion (1 drop in 4 runs is crazy) - and the few drops I had were from my various level 3 Alchemy Labs which came in clutch a few times. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve the drop rates for Juatalotli's Medallion back to how they were when I was building the temple. Also the Tier 3 Legion barracks used to drop some every now and then, and now for the last 6 runs at least, I have not had a single drop from those either. Thank you.

[hoary basalt]

The solution is to embrace RNG and stop believing superstition like resetting instances. Clear your temple and praise GGG for whatever drops you get or don't get. You're not the only one who has experienced dry spells, and conversely there will be people who drop medallions in every room three runs in a row 🎲

[random wedge]

Yeah, when all else fails, sacrifices to RNGesus are the only option...

[vivid parrot]

Playing SSF, now level 77 and doing T9 maps. Not a single greater jewellers orb dropped so far. All my skills have up to three supports. Is this expected? I'm tired boss :(((

[hoary basalt]

Local Knowledge?

[vivid parrot]

will spec into it, it's just demoralizing not seeing one for so long

[hoary basalt]

It's 40% increased for the thing you want and you were electing not to take it

Afaik otherwise there's no secret sauce except juice more.

Rarity.

[vivid parrot]

you make it sound like I did this on purpose. I just learned about it. Chill mate. Thanks for the suggestion

[hoary basalt]

Ok, thought it was deliberate from your reply. Enjoy

Some people unspec it "because it hurts my currency drops"

Which, to be fair, it does afaik, but it's basically The Target Farming Passive, as far as we have one

Could be better but it's what we got

[vivid parrot]

yeah, in SSF it's probably the best node on the tree 🙂

[random wedge]

What does 'things you want' means?? like how does the game know what things I want??? (sorry I have seen this node and it made no sense to me, so never bothered taking it)

[hoary basalt]

qdlt wanted Jeweller's Orbs. Local Knowledge specifically provides +% Increased drop chance for socket currency for one of its biomes.

It's not "It makes whatever you currently want more likely to drop"

Please also note that as far as anyone knows, Local Knowledge doesn't give you more drops, it weights your drops towards whatever its current biome bonus is.

Which means you will get less of everything else.

So it's a trade-off for target farming.

[random wedge]

I am sorry, i didn't understand 'socket currency for one of its Biomes'.

[hoary basalt]

Take this, go to Grass Biome Maps, loot has 40% increased chance to be Jeweller's/whatever else counts as Socket Currency

[past horizon]

Hello !

On PoB, for example with 100% movement speed (the base value), while chilled to 30% and using a skill with a 50% movement penalty, I end up with -50% Skill Movement Speed

As if the movement penalty when using a skill does not take into account increases and reductions of action speed or slow (Chilled, Temporal Chains) but only increases and reductions in movement speed (and movement penalties related to armor/shields)?

That's really weird, isn't it? Or am I missing something? I was expecting a -65% for skill movement speed.

I imagine it doesn't work as I describe it, because otherwise, since the slowing effects are multiplicative, it would be possible to move faster by using a skill that has a movement penalty, which is not possible, I imagine.

I should clarify that whether directly increasing movement speed (boots, Onslaught) or reducing it via configuration (for example with the "35% reduced movement speed" line), the "Skill Movement Speed" value is indeed affected.

Since the movement speed on the character sheet doesn't change when affected by a debuff, it's not easy to test this.

[past horizon]

Okay, there's clearly something I haven't understood. I'm probably talking nonsense. I'll try to review it all tomorrow.

[violet edge]

would anyone know why my bhatair's vengeance doesn't proc when i'm doing maps or temple, but when i'm killing lower map enemies, like tier 1-2, it does proc?

am i not doing enough cold damage to freeze them? do i need more cold resist penetration?

[past horizon]

Yes, most likely. Since Penetration does not reduce resistances below -0% and most enemies have no cold resistance, it is better to increase your cold damage or find a way to apply Explosure to an enemy (unlike Penetration, Explosure can make the enemy's resistance negative).

[violet edge]

i am using explosive shot, doing cold damage through extra cold damage, i got like 30% extra

i just tried the fire penetration gem that ignores all resistances and now it procs

so i guess i just needed more damage

[past horizon]

That's strange, I see why Fire Penetration helps you with the Bhatair's Vengeance proc, but if it works, all the better.

Another thing that might be useful to you: you can find out an enemies resistances using the icons under their health bar. : https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Category:Monster_resistance_icons

Red = -30% res, White = 30% res, Yellow = 75% res

[violet edge]

most enemies have some fire resistance right?

i guess since i'm doing more fire damage since it ignores all resistances means more extra cold damage, so more freeze buildup

it's all kinda confusing tbh lol, i should be using rakiata's flow, but it's way beyond my budget

[past horizon]

No, most don't have fire resistance. And to trigger Bhatair's Vengeance, you need to freeze the enemies; this is only possible with cold damage, unless you have a unique item or other element that modifies its function, but even then, I doubt Fire Penetration would be useful for doing that.

[violet edge]

weird, because as soon as i remove the fire penetration gem, it stops working

[past horizon]

Okay, in that case I'm missing something.

Fire Penetration II ignore only fire res not all res

[violet edge]

yes, only fire

i mean, if i'm doing more fire damage, i'm also doing more cold damage, right?

since it's extra cold damage

[past horizon]

Ah, I just understood what you meant. So yes, but no, it doesn't work like that xD

[violet edge]

then i am very confused

well, it works for now, for some weird reason

[past horizon]

If you really want to know and if you have the motivation : https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Receiving_damage

[violet edge]

ill give it a read

[past horizon]

But basically, the base fire damage remains unchanged; it's on this damage that the extra damage will be calculated. The Fire Penetration Support gem will reduce the amount of fire damage absorbed by the enemy's defensive layer (only if the enemy had fire resistance), but the extra cold damage is already calculated before the enemy's defensive layer is taken into account.

[violet edge]

hmm yeah, I can see that

I'm so confused then

because for example I remove the fire penetration gem and replace it with something like more elemental damage and it stops proccing

and I can't freeze enemies anymore

with the fire pen gem, packs of enemies die in the shatter explosion of the freeze, but without it, no freeze ever happens

I can see the freeze % going up on rares, but it's slow

[past horizon]

That's rather strange indeed, you must have a particular effect somewhere, perhaps a unique or a specific support gem?

Can you share your build in some way?

I don't think this will help you much, but feel free to take a look at this page too.

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

[violet edge]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/tzavok-2984/vaal/character/TzaVaal

[past horizon]

We agree that without Fire Penetration you never get that buff icon at the top of your screen, and with it you do. : https://poe2db.tw/us/Bhatairs_Vengeance#support_shatter_fang_buffbuff

[violet edge]

if i'm not using fire pen, i only get it against really low level enemies

like t1-t2 maps

if i do, it starts proccing against higher enemies

like in the temple, against lvl 80+ enemies, it never happens without it

well, whatever the reason may be, it works, i'll have to replace it with rakiata eventually anyway

[past horizon]

Ok so, the last hypothesis is that the support ability allows you to ignite enemies you couldn't ignite before, which increases the effect of "Harness the Elements" (in the skill tree).

We'd have to remove the passive to check, but honestly, I really don't believe that's it.

Yes, you're right, as long as it works!

[spring nymph]

Which one would yall take ? Arent they basically the same ?

[quartz cradle]

PoB angle, plug both into your setup and compare

30 crit vs 30 spell damage, in my own build the spell damage would likely end up being higher dps

[cobalt dust]

The second one

[sand reef]

Open question to any PoE2 enjoyers:
How do you go about making currency in mapping during early end game, eg. just starting out consistently running t13-15 maps?
I find myself seemingly always stuck at this stage every patch, with 2-3 divines and 100-200 exalts just stagnating, never getting
enough currency to buy or craft upgrades and just treading water. I've honestly made more currency from flipping blacksmith whetstones
than mapping every league. I'm clearly doing something wrong.

[abstract marsh]

Will change drastically in .5 but usually find a league mechanic like abyss or ritual or trial runs and farm said mechanic is a good way to start. It drops the specific currency dedicated to the activity. Very basic start to earning steady income.

The hideout is lava is a good phrase as well

Getting a good loot filter to highlight targeted bases / items etc helps alot.

Get a price checker like overwolf to quickly check items to see if they're valuable.

If its a norm/magic/rare item Dont forget to select the base when checking price as implicits make a big difference

[sand reef]

Ok, I usually feel like even if I do league mechanics they don't give much 🤔

I suppose it might just be a pace issue and I don't do enough of them

[abstract marsh]

Time and rng are definitely a factor but in my opinion, they will always earn you income, some maps more than others

Weird to recommend but watching streamers helps alot but very easy to pickup on things they're doing

[sand reef]

Hm, ok. Should I use my tablets more aggresively? Like always adding ritual to my map if I have any available?

[abstract marsh]

Yes as they drastically boost the activity

[sand reef]

Problem if I ever watch streamers it's all giga juiced stuff and I never reach that point

[abstract marsh]

Fair enough, the concept still applies though

Just depends on how much juice you want to give it

Increase difficulty usually always results in more reward but for ritual. You get tablets that grant more favor/rerolls etc so you have greater chances for rewards in the windows etc

[sand reef]

I'm gonna keep lobbing questions at you if you don't mind. If I were to prioritize clear speed/moving around the map faster or survivability, what should be priority?

[abstract marsh]

Well depends if your a divine per hour kind of person.

I personally go for a balanced approach, I hate dying and dont need to be as fast as you can get.

So I make sure my defenses are in order before I make adjustments to movement speed.

Aoe is always nice so

But speed an aoe will in the end be best if you dont die lol

[sand reef]

Ye I always find dying infuriating. Seem to never be able to strike a good balance between clear and survivability tho

And I am a divine/h type of person, which is why I find PoE2 so infuriating a lot of the time compared to PoE1 a lot of the time

[abstract marsh]

What build you playing?

[sand reef]

Currently none but I've played lightning crossbow in 0.1-0.3 and in 0.4 I did lightning arrow into falling thunder

failed that transition and crashed out of the league

Looking to get some pointers to keep in mind for 0.5 🙂

even if we're getting an end game rework

[abstract marsh]

Well its core to poe 1 to just farm a league mechanic, some will be better than others but it all depends on your character.

I assume .5 will allow for better target farming and streamline of mechanic

So 100% just find a mechanic you like and go all out on that.

As for build, id highly recommend something that isnt as popular so the upgrades aren't expensive.

Poeguy has an amazing totem grenade build that is super tanky and fairly cheap

It clears all content

[sand reef]

I'll take a look at the guide as 0.5 approaches, hopefully it doesn't get nerfed, also had ED contagion in mind

[abstract marsh]

Yea nonone knows what will remain going forward lol

I just know hes in the same realm as us, he hates dyin so he makes them tanky and easy to play.

Best tip is focus on hc viable builds lol

[sand reef]

Yeah watching some gameplay of his very low budget setup he did to showcase in guide that very much looks like something I’d enjoy playing

[abstract marsh]

Yea I tested it out myself and was very happy with it

[sand reef]

Goes on the potential 0.5 starter list

[abstract marsh]

Starter is a little slow but ramps up quickly

Playing as many classes as you can to learn whats bis for said class is just beneficial overall

[sand reef]

I'm always slow in campaign and maps so it'll just be another day that ends with Y for me

[abstract marsh]

Lol not a issue, just randomly putting in maps with no goal and no structure like no tablets etc is probably where you start to struggle with income.

You can juice low tier maps which isnt going to cost much, if they're too hard just lower the tier

[sand reef]

That was a question on my mind, how much am I losing out by doing lower tier maps

Also feels bad for my mental if I can't run highest tier of maps available to me but that's just my ego speaking

[abstract marsh]

Everyone's got to start somewhere

It may be slower than others but the process remains the same

Jump tiers until you start dying

If you die, lower tier and add difficulty to that tier via more map juice which increases in rewards are shown on waystone. Add tablets and go

[sand reef]

boom

Really appreciate you taking the time to help out 🙂

Also doubling my pool of potential league starters was nice

[abstract marsh]

I wish I had more,

id say craft and learn recomb and etc but that will come with time,

as a starter recommendation id just say sell the currency to earn currency and buy upgrades.

Neversink loot filter is good for starting out. Has multiple tiers as time goes on.

The price checker is huge as well, wish it wss just in game as its own feature so we didnt have to rely on third party stuff.

But yea couldnt recommend that build more, its solid for starting and getting into the game.

He makes adjustments for every league depending on patch notes.

[sand reef]

[abstract marsh]

He also has great videos on how to make money, might not be divine per hour best in slot but will learn from it

[sand reef]

I’ll check that out as well then, I’ve never been a gigajuicer in any PoE iteration so it’ll be more useful to me anyway

[abstract marsh]

Will definitely lead you in the right direction

[sand reef]

[sand reef]

also realized I've been a sucky boy when it comes to ritual and I haven't been fishing for jackpots enough

[silent pivot]

anyone have a good build rn? back to the game after a while

no clue what should i play tho

[abstract marsh]

Good reference haha, hopefully it helps!

[abstract marsh]

If you dont mind totem gameplay, I highly recommend poeguy

As a starter friendly build, since its not as popular, cheaper to upgrade as well

But that being said. With grenades taking a huge spotlight in these races,

its highly plausible they nerf them to some extent,

hopefully they just adjust early level power and leave the mapping onward alone

[violet edge]

can you divine uniques?
