much simpler this way and xfarmer has proven that you can make mirrors without crafting and services

[glossy wigeon]

Nice. I just pick every rare item i find and then i sell it for gold, and for currency i just wait for it to drop. Is that the correct way to play? What should i do with stuff like abyss bones? Use the currency exchange?

[sly swallow]

I mean...I am just going to ignire 0.4 then since it's soo late in the league, so in 0.5 you pick up rares in the campaign for gold yes, then in maps you try to pick up so much that you only have to return to the town once

and you would only pick up t4 and t5 rares maybe, you should only pick up valuable currency, then exchange it

white bases can be very valuable, blue items can be valuable, uniques too

[glossy wigeon]

So it's just a normal playthrough but using currency to trade rather than crafting? Nothing specific needs to be done?

[sly swallow]

what do you mean specific? there is a lot to the game and you can be very efficient with your time without crafting

[glossy wigeon]

Like following some type of strategy that only people who avoids crafting follows

[sly swallow]

no, there are tons of farming strategies, nobody knows which ones will be good

sekhemas is usually reliable on league start

[glossy wigeon]

Got it, ty

[pulsar hollow]

so with the new changes to tablets, do you think it will be optimal to always only focus on one mechanic (e.g. ONLY doing expedition, or ONLY doing breach), or will doing 2-3 different mechanics on any given map still be ideal?
i absolutely want to do the new expedition stuff, but the new breach stuff looks cool too...

[vague dove]

do i need to finish all atlas nodes?

like on poe1

[sly swallow]

the non league mechanic atlas passives yes

[strange vortex]

Does fire damage remove chill ailment?

[vague dove]

how did he activate all his spirit skill https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal/character/UrgedCartoon692-0680/SparkButterPlug?i=6&search=class%3DDeadeye%26skills%3DLightning%2BArrow%26sort%3Ddps

he has 162 spirit i have 170

oh he doesnt have mirage archer ._.

[austere sandal]

he doesn't

he just left the gems in the sockets

[vague dove]

ohh ._. damn this guides are really hard

[austere sandal]

he probably doesnt have wind dancer and ghost dance on

maybe he uses mirage archer only for bosses

[sweet wyvern]

there's an infinite amount of them. if you're asking for 0.5, the nodes in the fortress will give atlas points. the nodes around the quest areas for the side mechanics also give points for those mechanics.

[austere sandal]

huh?

[vague dove]

is doing full eva not good?

[austere sandal]

are they actually infinite?

[austere sandal]

it's meh, EV/ES is better

[sweet wyvern]

the atlas is infinite

[austere sandal]

cause on stuff like this

[radiant sequoia]

im curious because i never made it to maps, whats the endgame farming strats actually like? Is it just like poe1 where you pick one mechanic and spec into it entirely, or is it more complex? (and whats actually worth doing?)

[austere sandal]

that atlass skill tree I mean

[austere sandal]

it's a lot less complex

[vague dove]

where can i get that spectral ward?

aw its only body armour

[austere sandal]

check the skill tree, of the guy you linked

he has that

[sweet wyvern]

atlas skill tree will have 300 nodes that you can fully allocate

[vague dove]

i need to change build im pure eva and its hard

[austere sandal]

you probably have shit damage if it's hard

there is this too

[vague dove]

i think your right ._.

[austere sandal]

the league will reset soon anyway

[austere sandal]

ah it's fully allocate? that's kinda lame

was hoping it would be similar to poe 1

[vague dove]

._. im just want to know what to do in poe 2

[sweet wyvern]

there's a lot of choice nodes that you can change when you want

[austere sandal]

that's great

[austere sandal]

well probably get a better bow

[vague dove]

wait ill share my poe

[austere sandal]

sure , i gtg in 5 mins tho

can u share pob?

[vague dove]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal/character/UrgedCartoon692-0680/SparkButterPlug?i=6&search=class%3DDeadeye%26skills%3DLightning%2BArrow%26sort%3Ddps

wtf im only doing 46k lignitn arrow xD

[austere sandal]

that's not your pob right?

that's the guys build

[vague dove]

oh wait

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/miere16-5714/vaal/character/miereness

here

it didnt overwrite the copy

[austere sandal]

your body armour is bad , rings have no damage bow has no + to proj skills

[vague dove]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/miere16-5714/vaal/character/miereness

[austere sandal]

quiver is very bad too

[vague dove]

this is the updated

but still the same i think

[austere sandal]

quiver is basically useless

[vague dove]

i think the bow and only ring change in the new link

oh also got the quiver that has proj skill

[austere sandal]

that's good

u need proj on bow too

and rings with flat damage on them

body armor has low EV

you can get +3 proj level on amulet too

[vague dove]

ill try but im low on currency

i watch many div farm here but its pretty weird

[austere sandal]

stuff should be very cheap right now but im not sure

[vague dove]

they say so much but nothing about divs

[austere sandal]

i play ssf so I dont keep up with the economy, but stuff should be very cheap at the end of the league

[vague dove]

so

i prioritize damage than def

[austere sandal]

well that's up to you but

usually with a bow build yes

rangers are pretty squishy anyway so

you want to kill stuff before they kill you

not tank the damage

[vague dove]

yea i play chieftain and necromancer on poe i just focus on resist and hp

i just wanna try an archer with full eva build ._. but its hard

[austere sandal]

it seems u are missing

these from the campaign too

but anyway I gtg

good luck

[vague dove]

ty ty

[lone wave]

which one is better for ice shot / snipe archer? im lvl 77

is there a clear winner?

[silk tusk]

Any tips for Azmadi? I get one shot by his..well..everything.

this is my tree as wolf. it clears everything else really well, just not him.

I've been playing with a lot of armour

[versed comet]

what is the tier of Constricting Command?

[cedar umbra]

If your minions kill a monster, does your item rarity apply or do you need gravebind for that?

[strange vortex]

Just to confirm, the 40% more from projectile acceleration 3 does not give me more damage. Only the already existing other sources of increased projspeed (because only "increases" count, not "your projspeed is also projdamage")?

[marsh nacelle]

what is it that is getting people insanely rich during a season? I've been at the point for a while where I can easily do t15-16 maps fully juiced, I stack effectiveness on tablets, but the loot is really underwhelming. Just exalts/other crafting materials of similar value and every once in a while a div. I've tried crafting following guides but the most i've gotten out of an item is 1 div, and that item took about a div to craft anyways.

im using price checkers so I don't think i'm missing out on some hidden 50 div items in my inventory either

I know this season there are broken temple strategies but I mean normally, besides just this season specifically

[strange vortex]

this season, snaking strat in the temple has made all "global world drop currencies" extremely inflated because the temple adds an insane amount of juice. You cannot compete by juicing maps for generic drops.
Usually, if we look at 0.3, the differences arent as large. You could juice abyss for that as the largest source, but you could also get by with regular "cleansed" maps.

Other strategies includes farming special items, like trial of chaos loot (soulcores, but more importantly boss keys => boss drops (adorned)), sekhemas (jewels and unique jewels from chests, and divines from chests, but more importantly relics that drop ATD and Temporalis (and completing runs with them), breach (catalysts, but more importantly for 0.5, wombgifts for the crafters, and boss keys for boss drops (choir, nightfall and lineage supports), delerium (emotions, but more importantly for 0.5, boss keys for boss drops (voices, and other uniques tbd), expedition (olroth drops, 0.5 new hard to get runes?), abyss (omen of light, omen of echoes, ancient bones), temple (cultivation orbs, double corrupt orbs, quality infusers, atziri drops), ritual (crafting omens, 0.5 chase uniques like mageblood and headhunter), special maps (citadel fragments for arbiter fights for prism of belief, lineage support gems from anomaly bosses)

[marsh nacelle]

ill take some time to look those up, but basically it is possible to make good profit by just selling special items from various sources without having to craft normally? It's just that the economy this season is not great for people not doing temple strats?

[rustic canyon]

are people still collecting remnants or it's dead now?

[strange vortex]

The temple strats just ruined generic alch and go profitability, and juicing for generic currency drop strats. Relatively, the other strats stayed the same because the demand is roughly the same.

Youre always going to have the highest profitability from hideout warrioring because thats the most knowledge-gated "farm" that the least people can do optimally.

[spring nymph]

Ok so i just wanted to swap out some stuff to try a quick frostbolt build for fun on .4 before new league, but i'm not sure if i understand the interaction that is hapenning. How come frostbolt still has mana cost but elemental weakness doesnt ??

Like it's all supposed to be % mana cost converted to life cost

Cursed gem with Atzirisss

[full delta]

What's the best league starter for monk this league?

[sweet wyvern]

for last league or the upcoming league?

[full delta]

Upcoming

[strange vortex]

Several are close enough that that is subjective

[full delta]

I wanna use flicker strike again endgame I think. But last leagues league starter with hollow palm sucked ass

[sweet wyvern]

and martial artist hasn't been tested yet

[strange vortex]

Twisters, iceshot snipe, clacial cascade, whirling assault.

[full delta]

Ahh OK

[strange vortex]

Martial artist is effectively just a statsttick ascendacy with some bait skills, if you ask me. The stats are very strong, best ascendancy if witch didnt exist if you ask me. For that reason you can play most things on it

[fervent escarp]

When does the league merge is it merging now ?

[strange vortex]

You can definitely make use of the skills, but the stats look much stronger

[strange vortex]

Rn ye

[random wedge]

At league end, do merchant tabs also move to remove only tabs in Standard league (like other tabs)?

[strange vortex]

Does spellslinger preserve its energy/stacks if you weaponswap to a different weapon and back?

Answer: yes

[paper flame]

Why is reddit getting their panties in a twist about crafted modifiers? It seems obvious to me its only gonna be exclusive to mods named like "of the essence" which are not numerous

Am I crazy to assume greater essences that give like low tier attack speed with the same name as the non essence attack speed would not be considered crafted?

[turbid kernel]

Right now using a sequence of essences is the most common method to craft some things, particularly weapons for attack builds. If a weapon can only have one essence mod that prevents the current most popular and effective weapon crafting methoda from working and makes good weapons much harder to craft

And people are interpreting it as meaning that any essence mod will prevent you from adding more essence mods, not just essence-only ones

[paper flame]

But basing yourself on poe1 and recombinator the kind of mods that are usually exclusive or prevents each other etc are same named ones and not just any

No?

[turbid kernel]

The way they describe it almost sounds like it works more like crafting bench

It sounds like what matters is how you get the mod, not what mod it is

[paper flame]

Well I feel like thats the more realistic way things would work otherwise its like may as well delete lower tier essences and rhars not logical

[limber flint]

When do the Expedition vendors restock? What triggers it?

[flint void]

Does someone know what to do if the boss that i killed bugged and dosent open the door to the next area?

https://medal.tv/games/path-of-exile-2/clips/mMlLYjU8tid7MX8M9?invite=cr-MSx2MWgsNDI2OTI4NTI

[strange vortex]

Exotic coinage. But also; deleted from game in 3 days

[strange vortex]

Reset zone

[flint void]

Dose not work

[strange vortex]

Not respawn at checkpoint, full new zone, doesnt work?

[flint void]

Nothing that happend yesterday

[strange vortex]

Id try go to tavakai island and see jf the quest proceeded or something. Did you do the skip of the boss before? No clue if zone reset doesnt work

clearly the whirlwind slash sent him flying

[flint void]

Its not that important, it was a "test" character but what if it happens in someoney new League

[sweet herald]

I wanna ask about the new update

"Modifiers that applies to Allies in your Presence, such as those on Sceptres and the Grip of Kulemak Unique Ring, no longer stack in a party if multiple party members have Modifiers of the same type. This change does not affect the "Allies in your Presence deal 50% increased Damage" Modifier from the Leer Cast Unique Helmet."

Does it count the "Watch How I Do It" from Tactician?

[strange vortex]

99.9% no

[sweet herald]

Why u said so?

Is it only count on "item modifiers"

Not on tree?

[copper raft]

Yea, most likely. So there is no reason tobparty play as multiple tacticians.

[sweet herald]

Yeah, Snap (from Empyrian team) was planning to play 3 Tactician this league
This update just destroy the idea of stacking 2 or 3 Tactician together

[narrow marsh]

does charges persist across different weapons set?

[past horizon]

Yes

[fossil forge]

Yep, the charges are on you, not your weapons.

[torn shadow]

If I have the node for armor break increasing fire damage on a weapon set, does the break still increase fire damage if i swap off?

[marble helm]

anyone have a good resource on how to get some early mapping gear going? craft? gamble? certain type of content?
just finished maps, but my resists are in the toilet and i need to get some new gear

[sly swallow]

if you have to ask then probably not craft. focus on one type of content and learn trading

[honest nest]

You should be able to pretty easily buy gear that covers your resists but it is standard so the economy’s probably in the toilet

Although right now might be your best chance since everybody’s in it until Friday

[frozen sigil]

Does anyone know if trials is still the best way to farm jewels? I remember having to do it at launch for ssf and got really burnt out, and this will determine wether i go ssf next league or not

[quartz cradle]

the number of jewels you get in sekhemas pretty much tripled going from 0.1 to 0.2 but otherwise yeah its your main source

[frozen sigil]

Thank you. So does that mean i'll have to spend a considerable amount of time doing trials just to get jewels?

[quiet ocean]

are you SSF?

[frozen sigil]

yeah

[quiet ocean]

Then i'd say depends how bad you need jewels. Its not like jewels dont drop from other sources.

i could be playing SSF and have zero usable jewels and I'd still never farm sekhemas for them because i hate that shit

[frozen sigil]

Yea, during launch my worst gear was my jewels and had to farm 20+ hours of sekhemas ans got super burnt out lol

So if it's still the primary way of getting them, I don't know if i want to ssf next league

[quartz cradle]

one sekhemas run in todays game and you will come out with an entire inventory of jewels

[quiet ocean]

theres no way this was ever worth it even in SSF

[frozen sigil]

But there was no other reliable way of getting jewels back then

even really good poe players like Alk spamed sekhemas for hours just for jewels

[quiet ocean]

you get jewels just from farming

listen if you want to farm sekhemas for 20 hours praying for the perfect 4 mod jewel, i aint gonna stop you...but that imo, is an entire waste of time. I'm sure you found plenty usable 3 mod jewels, and couldve upgraded way more gear just farming naturally

[frozen sigil]

ok you guys do say it's a lot better now, so i think i'll go ssf again

[safe lynx]

SSF Based

[strange vortex]

Also you can craft on jewels now. Like add max energyshield with perfect essence like currencies

so getting good jewels is easier

just get a 2suffix jewel and you can risk free make it 3mod /other way around with other currencies for it

[quiet ocean]

where did they say you can essence jewels?
