yeah the relics are "locked" in the ongoing run
afaik that's the only way to remove them
sanctum is just like everything else I do. get hit, die. but it's resolve die instead of die die!
This is the best league I've played in a year and a half and I feel I have to be louder about it.
Chris gets his thoughtful hit and run gameplay and it's optional without affecting every map.
I have never been more successful farming heist
The league was so fine until I entered my sanctum and saw the resolve thing down there, do I even bother with it? Ppl told me to not bother till maps but even in maps.. Dunno. Did anyone get anything worthy out of it?
i get heckled by some lady a bunch for losing my resolve. That's about it so far
Sanctum becomes completeky unbearable after you get the affliction that hides room rewards
Hope they remove it
Is this pog
...you can't exactly compare a ring slot item to a relic slot item
i believe you can get that mod for 2c on boots
but i suppose its an account bound item so we can only speculate on its rarity or usefulness or whatever
Just avoid melee builds if you wanna do the mechanic
my god I've been playing the entire week missing a skill point from act 8
Am I the only one who has college exams coming up right when league started LMAO
a good builds for sanctum with 250+ movement speed without flasks?
Down horrendous
Down system.
Got my first sanctum run completed. Final floor seems pretty 
Anyone got build recs? Havent played in a while but have played 7+ leagues
Starting late
Does evade work on sanctum attacks?
The only ways to prevent resolve loss are to get the enemies to target something else (such as a decoy totem), use stuns/freezes to prevent them from attacking, or lower their action speed so they attack less.
Basically, it has to be an effect you are applying on the monsters. Your own stats and buffs won't save your resolve.
Interesting. So you do prevent the HP damage but you still get resolve damage?
I'm just debating whether to have a secondary setup for sanctum with decoy totems and full damage auras. I've yet to die to it, but maybe neglecting my defensive auras will make them suddenly start doing damage, though thankfully they are easy enough to dodge to not get more than 1 hit in a row normally
You can still die by regular damage in the Sanctum. Learned that the hard way and dies to a floor boss. Regular enemies also deal regular damage, but it typically isn't enough to be considered threatening.
Let me put it this way. Swapping a defensive aura for an offensive aura is a smart play. Activating a blood magic aura to reserve 2/3rds of your life is not a smart play. The latter is going to lead to enemies depleting your HP before your Resolve.
Got it, thanks!!
So deadly bladedancer teleports from offscreen and insta-kills me on the first floor of sanctum.
Shit's impossible on a 16:9 monitor now?
why is my atlas 115/115 but the archivments has only 114/115? ich did recheck_achievements but doesnt work
Does dying in a sanctum end your run?
Like dying to real dmg not from having 0 resolve
Okay I wanna be quick
I lost a sanctum
With 600 aureus coins
Simply because the game dropped the "you can't see rewards" affliction
you chose that
...I literally did not
I got it from the fucking affliction that turns a boon into an affliction
you chose that
Dude that's like saying GGG's change to Exalts was fine because "we chose to play their game"
you still in anger stage?
I still have the right to criticise yet another league where they give melee builds the middle finger
yes
600 coins is not a lot
idk what this point means
some boons cost over 400 coins
i ended my last run with 1200 extra coins
Look I just want sanctum to not feel like melee hate
nothing in the game should instant-teleport-assassinate you from offscreen.
it's bad game design.
what am I supposed to do against something I can't see?
ggg are obviously dev'ing on ultrawide monitors now.
most of the enemies actually are nastier while you are not standing next to them but yeah melee could get some more help, since it kind of locks on its still more painful than range even when its techically better wich is almost never
Do you lose xp in softcore if you die in a sanctum room? Even the first floor boss is one shotting me in red map sanctums. I know I'm a squishy Deadeye but this is embarassing. 😣
Hey all, how can you tell if a boon is major or minor?
it's a death in hardcore, so yes
idk how you are even getting hit by the first floor boss just walk in circles around it
What?
hey, at the start of lychia arena (at maze with red mist), she's zapping with some arc skill that does heavy dmg, how to avoid it?
seems she's tracking it and hitting through maze walls
can't circle in red mist, right
I see
this time went fine, I'm thinking now in previous runs she hit me because she followed me around walls and probably hit from corner. Now she was standing behind wall, red arc didn't do dmg and then she went away earlier (I guess it triggers when you reach her hp threshold. I did pre-stacked traps to time her end of speaking). Thanks 🙂
I know this was a while ago, but... Didnt they say it wouldnt be a death for hc chars? During the qna with Ziz?
Or was that about the resolve bar only?
I got to last boss. 2nd phase in Beyond. She got me to 0hp, I was just lying there on ground.
Nothing happening.
I had to go to character selection.
Did I brick it, lose all rewards or.. ?
Resolve bar only
Yeah you died and the game didn't like it
That happens sometimes
not really liking sanctum mechanics : /
so are there things which will hit my resolve through my inspiration?
or will it always remove inspiration before resolve?
guys i need to know, does the -5% resolve on room completion can kill you?
this is shaping up to be a good run, im definitely pathing through the 2 radiant fountains
i have the +10% gold per room completed
and +100 inspiration per affliction
wondering if i go top for pacts for more afflictions but only one vendor
or bottom (traps are faster) for 2 vendors
Whats a build thats cheap but strong? Put 30 div into my current build and growing bored of it. Prefer something not meta
I hate to say it but i truly hate the league mechanic.
I've made 3 lvl 80 characters and a lvl 90 and have had a bad time in each of them during the runs.
HoG Toxic Rain Pathfinger
Spellslinger VD/DD
Ancesteral Totems
my lvl 90 i just stopped playing the league mech and played and got to my RF.
I truly want to run Scantum but i am mostly blind and even tho this game is known for having dirty screens and limited clarity, i am able to play builds that work around this. With Resolve, I cannt see any active reaction or notice that I have been "hit" and lost resolve other than leaning in and looking at the number only but then i dont see the "telegraphed" attack, and i cant learn how to avoid them while seeing if I have avoided the resolve damage.
I am disappointed that I can go to all the hard work of building a character that can run huiced t16 but gets blipped to a "hit"
I know no one will care but im sad to see that its more and more to a dig of the disabled player
any different in loot at sanctum between lvl 32+ and early maps 68+? if build overpower at 32-55 lvls
holy shit whats going on with the vaal orb market
i cant get one unless i spend 30 fucking chaos?
Does this mean it will duplicate some of the rewards you have already queued up?
noone wants to waste time on a single digint volume trade
yep
Done everything
Can't reach tourched courts act 10
instance before was cleared many times
everytime I try to enter same error
you need to open a new instance when you get to tourched court (hold ctrl before clicking the entrance)
I'm having a lot of fun with Sanctum, but I am really not impressed with the supposed "telegraphing" of some of these skills
i've been playing since LAUNCH and only just found out gems level up in alternate weapon slot
why on earth is that an undocumented feature
It's, uh, been like that since launch.
probably, but it isn't listed ingame
what are the requirements to spawn final boss in sanctum?
monster level or my level and which one?
i just finished a run on new char by act 4 and the boss refused to do the last phase
t14 map
or higher
Hey guys, how viable is sanctum content with melee builds? Is it as unplayable as everyone makes it out to be?
Am i putting myself at a great disadvantage by playing lets say righteous fire compared to spark or something similar?
if you stun or freeze it’s a cakewalk for any build
yes
rf don’t have great singletarget
and takyness doesn’t translate well to sanctum
Welp, maybe another skip league even though i wanted to play it quite a bit..
it’s more of an issue of building defence having no returns in sanctum, moreso than melee
I’ve been waiting to see some changes to that in the patches or announcements but doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen.
the run i finished on new char had 1000 (cap?) resolve and 600 inspiration on floor 4 boss, of course i have good relics to achieve that, but it seems possible and i feel like it allows any build to have a chance
yep after a few good runs baseline sanctum is piss easy
but some people still complain you need to do 4-5 contracts to level heist members
it's kinda sad
i made a mistake and opened twitter comments under new unique relic announcemenet
so much entitlement
ggg explicitly says that it's not designed for you to finish it every time, and people complain they cant finish it every time
you just can't fix them
meanwhile i enjoy the fact that final boss is deterministic and not trialmaster 0.0001% chance to spawn failure
i feel like this league mechanic addressed to many concerns from the past and i avoid reddit whole league because i enjoy it and i dont want to read the amount of whining from there
you mean the boss or the mechanic
boss
coz i never got one boss fight xD
i see
to get some currency while he is whacking you
))
also rare mobs when archnem became core
those were straight up stronger than bosses due to more erratic behaviour and higher numbers
i mean its certainly a good distraction
lol imagine a npc with iq of 1000 to drop a fake mirror on the map and immidiatelly slam that spot
or was it trialmaster actually
task manager best boss
it says guillible on the ceiling
-the trial master probably
on the topic of sanctum, whats your best (normal) relic so far?
inspiration on affliction
got 2
1 mod ones but damn if that mod singlehandedly trivializes the ru
n
I actually have all the good ones
resolve on boss kill
resolve on room clear
i have those and i can get some absurd amount of resolve with it
t1 t1 t2 respectively
I’m hoping to stack up merchant ones
cause it seems like the play for unique relic runs
first one
that rewards keystone powder
prevents resolve and inspiration recovery
so you’d really want good boons
wonder if "inspiration added at the start of the sanctum" would still work
as an one time opportunity to start with more res/inv
probably
but yeah disabling traps is a must for this relic
i suspect 3rd relic is a consumable one that just giga buffs you in the run
or like double/triple the currency you can find but no relics even from final boss
aye
some kind of tradeoff to farm currency
tbh
I wonder about not taking end of sanctum rewards
unless they’re div
to make use of the reward doubling boon
saw it in pacts
and from merchants
randomly duplicates end of run rewards
so stacking trash would be bad
For killing the last boss of sanctum in the "beyond" what rewards do you get?
probably the sanctified relic
i have yet to kill one, only had one attempt
but for some reason i decided to run heists
so i didnt have more
idk i had zdps and i got her to 40%, but her lightning attack one shot me from 6k
sanctified relic + unique
also will drop unique relics after patch
Ah.
yeah she’s only one doing real damage in sanctum
but in that fight resolve is not required
she does not deplete resolve
in her last form
hot damn its such an easy win from there
too bad it’s bugged
i mean max resolve works but it removed 200 next room
didnt matter coz i got 2 pacts with 50% removed max resolve
and now i have extra minor boon and 67 max resolve per fountain
got knockback at 1st lvl - some random minigun stunlock push me to fog on last boss 
maybe the floor was slippery 
what's the strat with the secret phase of lycia when she does storm, just keep dodging till she stops?
C-Can someone d-dwop Fire Twap for me >_< 
so i had +200 max resolve boon, then had it removed in a fact, didnt lose the max resolv from losing the boon, and then got that boon again and gained additional +200 max resolve
seems not intentional
Anyone available to look at my build
got a neat one, limited by ssf gear but still
hey ppl.can anyone explain to me how works the storage rooms in sanctum please ? i see ppl in videos do alot in a row and i only manage to do 2 in a row
When you find it in a map go inside and click the map plan. Bottom left has a "store" option, you can store up to 8
What kind of damage is that dumbass red circle that phase 2 of Lycia summons?
and does anyone have any tips for it? I can take basically 1.5 hits and I'm dead to it, seem to get the worst positioning of it
I get screwed on the holes, this time I sat on the outer ring just slowly pacing myself
the holes are horribly shown
I got hit once and it chunked me down and delayed me from getting to the far side on a bad position and that was it
really stupid mechanic
also had the 60% movement speed buff which is actually bad because it makes it harder to control
where can i read the poe relic modifiers?
man, I know I'm going blind but this league is really hitting me over the head
Pog
what floor
Beginning of last sadly
still god
Had such a good run but last floor has no divine
oh
best it has is exalted
at least you can guarantee a win
yep also still very good from defenses
What builds are good for running sanctum? SRS seemed okayish
i feel like the game is telling me stop playing EA and go play cold DOT
As usual, current league benchmark, same performance of past league DX12 it's a thing bruh
Lower settings, render dx12 + 1080p
Driver Nvidia 527.56
GTX 1050ti
i5 6500
16gb ddr4 2113mhz
map strand t16: delirium orb 2x + breach + abyss + legion

Wait is "Herald of the Scourge" the Sanctum's final boss?
how much would yall say this is worth?
Only like 2c. 5c at most.
Hatred isn't used too much anymore, and 57% increased Discipline effect is only like 70 ES.
Does anyone know what happens if you exit during the last boss fight in Sanctum?
Lycia didn't run after me in the gauntlet and now she isn't showing up at the end.
Man
Sanctum is terrible
It's like chris played Risk of Rain 2 and said "Man I wish this had no items or healing"
happned to me last night, just log to character select
bug that return to town doesn't appear, but yea it happens when you die from HP loss but not resolve loss
sucks, i lost 2 divines from it
it sounds like you lost 2 divines from losing your health, not because of the bug
Have they said when trials will be fixed? There are 0 offerings on trade.
how much pack size
+25%, shitty random map i was literally running to drop other maps to build my map pool
i didn't know this eldritch altar modifier existed
anyone have an idea how much this thing is worth?
As a ror2 nerd, healing doesn't matter as much anyways in the end game
But, no there are indeed ways to heal even via boons
No price check on this discord , try #price-check📉
guys what are you farming when you play flicker ? kinda wanna sell my arakaali gear
Finished my first sanctum today, no good rewards but I feel like I got the hang of it
If you take a -100 max resolve when you have 50 max resolve does that put you at one or end your run?
I know if you take "lose 100 resolve" it would, but not sure about max
f
what is the best way to get good maps im new?
relics only affect you while inside sanctum right?
yes
only sanctified relics affect you globally
you can only have one sanctified relic
there is a special slot for it
thanks
Is ggg EVER gonna rework the terrible way resolve works?
I just died because one of those dumb blue clouds spawned on top of me
I genuinely have seen only 1 relic so far
Dude...
I play melee
I don't like to play ranged
And this league was genuinely made to shit on players like me
Anyone know a good CA/toxic rain build to follow?
Also disregarding my opinion and simply stating "I'm not good" does nothing to support your side
it does if he’s right
My request is simple
Either rework or remove resolve
The game becomes good
And everyone is happy
the world needs to change to accommodate you
game isn't balanced for melee at all /thread
wtf are u supposed to do in the very last room? entire floor is red lava and I lost all resolve in 5 seconds
Is there a sanctum boom tierlist somewhere?
Dont stand in it
thats fog, it dissapates slowly as you move, just don't stand in it and dps the boss
There's a boon "50% increase resolve recovered". Is that applied when you have other boons and relics that give resolve? Not for anything else?
move
the zone without red fog continously moves
just don’t sit at the edge
anything recovering resolve
tbh the only rlly annoying thing in sanctum are a bad stack of multiple affliction and the teleporting cleave guards
😭
Hi, i'm playing RF and i can complete t16, maven, eater, and other non uiber boss easily, but i can't complete a f sanctum, am i just bad ? is there something i need to know ?
Okay how do you beat Lycia with 60 resolve left. First time doing it.
Any good tips/video explaining? I have 8div waiting...
Edit: can I invite someone to 1 shot her?!
Oh wow
final form lycia so op
i died to her
she wont even let me resurect
i a stuck here dead forever
do sanctified relics also count for this?
I can kill her for you if you want
altough 60 resolve is very iffy xd
basically just stay behind her and dont step in the goo
Close range skills are bad for sanctum
so play a build that lets you fire and forget
30 lab trials and no buringn rage can anyone help if you find one pls?
I've done all maps and kirac missons and didn't find it
Is the expanding red wave from Lycia lightning damage?
why do you need it?
all you need is offering to do uber lab
you no longer need to complete any trials
do you have offering in your inventory
oh come on...
would be nice if the indicators were removed so like new players or me wouldn't think after doing it 3 times that you need them for completion...
I mean it says you need to complete or previous labs, not trials
yeh but for the first 3 trials you need to collect them and in maps when you complete each trial it shows you that there are 6 of them to collect, and doesn't mention you do not need to do them all
some one here want to run lab with me ?
is rf good for blight?
I am having an issue with the game crashing as soon as i start an expedition... anyone had this issue?
am i the only one who thinks it is super unneeded for fountains offers etc. to cost 5 gold? makes losing coins so much worse than it should be
Hey guys, any tips for a good HC started build?
Man this feels so essential... It should be part of the base Sanctum mechanics tbh
what do you mean? just get rid of afflictions?
Yes
maybe they should just give us all the boons at the start of the game while we are at it
Nah that's not the point
Afflictions are a very flawed system in roguelike terms as the reward rooms of the sanctum hardly interact with them in an engaging way
Roguelikes are about risk / reward
But Sanctum doesn't punish mistakes nor being greedy, it punishes you for daring to play it
Look at any roguelike
They have some downside upside options, but none of them are making players stack up afflictions like boons
Instead the game gets more difficult
That’s a downside upside
That's very different because the player accepts a challenge for a reward
In Sanctum tho?
And also only a few a run
You lose the ability to heal because you got an affliction that hides the rooms past the next one
And the room you picked only had one way to go
Not to mention the fact resolve as a whole dropkicks the player for playing melee
i agree that melee is screwed here, but i dont get the idea that boon/afflictions are bad, i finished 3 or 4 full [t16] runs today (except the final boss because i cant get past that lightning invul phase) and i mostly got what I wanted
i play a lot of roguelites and i appreciate the challenge it serves and i don't want it to be same-ish to the way i understand rouge likes (especially since it's in the context of arpg), because that would be boring
speaking of this stupid invul lightning phase, does anyone know how to get past it?
The boon / afflictions per se aren't the problem
It's how they embedded them into the game
Getting afflictions has no default payoff in the gameplay loop of the sanctum
They are just there to replace difficulty scaling
HOWEVER, the nature of the afflictions they added also destroys how the game behaves
Like, some affliction can say monsters are faster, or deal more damage
Then you have another that gives you no control or knowledge whatsoever of what room you walk into
Or lose your minimap and light radius
Which doesn't make the game harder even, just annoying
Other than that, merchants feel far too scarce
In any decent roguelike, there is always a consistent rate of how often you can spend your cash
Emphasis on CAN
The player must be tempted to spend their coins in order to make the currency worth something
Now you just see a merchant, and buy all you can
Because you know there is hardly a chance for you to see one again in the run
My personal advice is to separate the merchant and pact rooms, that sanctum's flow heavily depends on, from the pool
And place them on their special "extra floor"
It is, it's called not going to the stuff that gives you afflictions
meanwhile i go full blast on accursed pacts, taking almost everything if it makes sense
never complaining about it (except that lightning maze phase is bullsh*t, gonna have to get purity of lightning or sth :/)
Yeah just blast shit
sold for a divine, had 2 buyers
You folks have any good strats on dealing with Infernum rooms?
The final boss of the Sanctum is "Herald of the Scourge". Is this referring to the same "Scourge" that gives Tainted currency?
Lore question.
Depends on floor and your relics
chrystal chailce screams to get into that pact room
possibility for free boons
benevolent fountain is also cool if you have some "gain maximum resolve per foutain" relics
that's ok
Idk if I have enough coins to justify going for merchant
Accursed pact might be the best choice for the sake of possibly more resolve and boons
for me it's either fountain (if you will have 150 coins)->major treasure->minor treasure or currency->pact->currency
I had to trade 50% resolve for the really spicy boons
What
There are only normal and afflicted fountains
No benevolent
what the top one reads?
It's a normal fountain
oh i misread the icon
Okay, I'll just hop on to the pact
yeah most obvious one here with Crystal Chalice
Lol
Going for pact gives me benevolent fountain
That's an easy one
FUCK
@silver caveOKAY LISTEN
SOMETHING 100% BULLSHIT HAPPEND
You know that room with the 2 fucking lasers?
Well I played on that shit
As melee
You can imagine what happened
I lost my revive
I LOST THE BOON THAT PREVENTS MINOR AFFLICTIONS
This is just
Why
Okay
That's it
This league is seriously the single worst, most unfun mechanic GGG dared to put out
I know now that GGG never, ever, playtests anything as melee
@silver cave Do you have... any argument in defense of that?
They do
They have many play testers
The problem is they don’t listen
I seriously want to know who the fuck thought adding those 2 lasers was a good idea
The player literally cannot attack at all if they are melee
I literally agreed that melee is screwed in sanctum, what more do you want me to agree on
and i say it as gigachad strike skills enjoyer
I mean I'm just pissed
that's why i quickly pivoted to ancestral totems, suddenly everything became easy 
I lost a run only because I played melee and tried to play
and i can still claim i play melee technically, it's a win for me
i mean ggg probably saw how the god gamer was tanking maven memory game and more and probably thought 'naah we cant have that
so i guess quin is responsible for this
GGG when the player who specifically built defenses to tank big hits tanks big hits: 
big payout
what is happening to prices right now? Divine is down to 20c from 200? Mirror for 3k chaos??
someone discovered a Div recipe?
or just poe ninja is broken 🙂
did I win a good one?
Is there any good boss killer? I'd need help with a lvl 85 eater of world ^^'
if GGG introduce something like this, can they for fuck sake increase the cap of room stored?
What do you guys think the Original Sin will be?
My first theory is that it would be the Untainted version of Divine Teardrop, but the grammar doesn't quite add up. Saying "the" instead of "an" implies a singularity which fits uniques and not currency items.
Wait, I just got a theory that I believe matches with PoE lore. I believe it will be a unique jewel which can be socketed into any gem socket (like an abyss jewel, but it can go into regular sockets too).
A lot of problems in the lore of Wraeclast are caused by virtue gems. That's how both the Vaal and how the Eternal Empire fell, by dabbling into thaumaturgy. Therefore, the logical Original Sin in PoE lore would be the first ever virtue gem to ever be used.
The Templar also tried to eradicate Thaumaturgy before, while Lycus also explicitly calls the Templar "Hypocrites", though didn't seem to go a specific example as to why she thinks that.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense for the Original Sin to be the first Virtue Gem.
This game must hate me, 2 leagues ago i barely got 1ex floor drop a league, if i was lucky. this league so far ive gotten 6...
Atleast i got 2 divine aswell, 1 from tujen and 1 from ritual.
If I take the second one, can I then take the first one to just gain +200 inspiration without losing any resolve since it'll be 1? I won't 'die' right?
yes
Did they change something in sanctums? All of a sudden I am capable to do sanctum runs as flicker strike.
you got relics and or skill or just good boons
No relics. Amd I just found a good boon that I think gives me 250 inspiration everyfloor
Or damage, I am melee as well and the moment my damage spiked, and could kill stuff very easily within 2-3 hits, sanctum became easy.
So whilest I first could hardly do floor 1, I now clear everytime (even the ||final boss after Lycia||)
Is there a cheapish elementalist bossing build, I want to go EK eventually but not rich enough yet
How the hecc are you supposed to get higher tiered maps naturally?
I've been stuck at like t8ish for ever and they're laughably easy by this point.
But I just get nothing higher
Pretty much feel done by now.
does map mods affect sanctum?
apparently you can lower merchant costs to 0%
unlike most things it isnt multiplicative but additive
shame ive burned through so much max resolve or the heals would be nice on top too
no they turn off, its pretty noticeable as soon as you leave the pre-room where its active if you have righteous fire or similar on
you need tier 7 maps or higher for sanctified relic drops, other than that no
technically you could run white maps at start of run to make it easier then swap to tier 8+ later on
so you have more relics for sanctified at boss/merchant drop boost chance etc
i went glass cannon got nice relics ignored league for a bit then went regular defences to level and now im back, well, i set it up so i can just swap auras given high reserve between glass cannon and defensive
given defense barely matters at all in sanctum
ill miss sanctified relics after this league part of the fun of SSF is rolling with what you get to me, i don't really hunt down much in terms of gear so it was nice to have another factor
you need to grab ALL the tier up and map adjacent drop nodes
especially if you're SSF
then eldritch altar boosts
kirac on clear for map vendor rerolling too
basic sustain being so dependant on atlas tree is hyper dumb to me but it is what it is
I see. welp. I think I'm more or less done with PoE for now then. I've cleared nearly all the white and yellow tier maps. And the remaining challenges are just not realistic imo. Not without an insane time investment at minimumm.
i mean you can respec to it but yeah the challenges are way worse this league
at least i like the tier 1 armor more than the tier 2-4
glowy/gaudy is not my thing
I already have the nodes to make higher tier maps drop
They dont do diddly it seems.
they're nowhere near as effective as people make them out to be but they do work
just you need like... 80% of your points in them
its so dumb
Like I just went through the last T10 maps I had access to, and it just drops T6 and 7 maps.
it doesnt make it drop t11 maps, it just increases the tier of maps that drop by 1
Yea, so it just goes from useless, to useless +1
Which is still useless.
Its like multiplying a 0
its still doable but its for sure a pain atm
most of the time league mechanics drop a decent amount of maps
I don't even get XP from them anymore since I'm past 90
not even sure maps can drop in sanctum at all
ever since they removed the ''historic loot buff'' etc etc its been a mess
you can bandaid over the stuff but i dont like it
I think maps can drop in there like any other item, but its no better than anywhere else, and there being so few mobs, sanctum might as well not
this was meant to be the make-up league in terms of loot given how bad kalandra went but
if it wasnt for sanctified relics i dont think most people would stick with it for very long
pretty sure they're just extending stuff so that people stay around longer and buy more microtransactions, but ppl are just getting put off more and more
SSF gets hit triply worse by some of the changes too
I think the way i usually get my higher tier maps started is simply by kirac missions, and buying maps from him
i have to do that at first to get mapping+item quantity increasing nodes e.g. delirium to go with the map drop boost ones
Im running full expedition and lockboxes
literally headbutting bosses with gain kirac mission etc
and then the 2 node sets for the +1 and free crafting options
i think eldritch altars are atrocious design still
Though the league hates me, have dropped 6 raw exalt so far, no raw divine
did get a divine from both tujen and ritual tho
Ah, was gonna say how is that an issue xD
and im usually pretty cluster jewel heavy
but i dont play ssf
feels so bad, i never manage to get exalts in a decent amount, and the one time i do its the league after it switched (for me atleast, never even got to mapping last league)
at least this league the mechanic stuff actually drops
didnt see a single special mist last league and neither did most ppl
gonna take a long break after this league i think, maybe up to a year if ggg dont fix things
Well, i dont really play the league mechanic, keep losingn too much resolve before getting anywhere
but thats what i get for playing RF and having to be somewhat close to enemies
you have to go full glass cannon non melee
ofc you could go minions/totems etc but thats insanely dull so im avoiding it
Im wondering if a Wintertide brand cold dot would work
My build is decent, but not great
also its not my main source of damage just something i went huh i could throw this on with my amount of regen atm
Damn yeah, Do you have RF or Fire Traps in there? (assuming you also use fire trap)
got this via vaal vessel but was using obliteration and some other stuff prior
oh damn.., casual +6 to fire spell skill gems
i want to, but i cant get the tainted linking orbs to drop and not all of it was linked
so its on anger, flammability, elemental weakness etc
seriously ive had beyond node active this entire time not a single tainted linking orb
I have 2 i think
pretty sure like most of the atlas atm its bugged
i got the dual slot ring that gives you giant life/mana on hit so i was anger+fireball spam for a while but
ive been all over the place
had a flame golem scorch helmet i was using for a bit even
atm now my aoe etc is high im trying to get enough currency to respec into occultist so i can just explode most of the map given ive killed most t15-16 bosses then i can slowly gather enough stuff to try pinnacles etc
damn, looking at trade, if only that had 4links/decent sockets xD
for flame trap
casual 6 levels on 1 item
obviously some skills you can throw empower on there too
which will get boosted by the +2 level also
so +4 on top etc
10 levels, then something like my staff and you have +12 right?
idk quick maths im half asleep
lots of ways to get +2 flame on weapons
well, +13 with weapons
then you throw fire trap on all alternate weapon slots to double corrupt it eventually
it gives a casual 10k base fire damage per sec compared to a 21
where a simple 21 only has 3k...
speaking of can you double corrupt empower? i presume not but ive never tried it given ssf you get like 1-3 the entire league
No idea, never even got to double corrupting, im very much a casual xD
closest i ever get to numbers like these is theory crafting
No time to play enough to get anywhere near
i only found out the other day you can use the alternate weapon slots to level gems
Currently also at work, just waiting for a build to finish so have some time to waste
and ive been playing since the first founder packs
Oh wow
I've known that for about 2 leagues now
i started during either ritual or ultimatum, i always forget which one was first
it not being documented in game is insanely dumb
Ye, i have a 23% item rarity support in my offhand, and 2 20% RF's and a 20% fire trap
well ive not been playing constantly ive taken year long breaks etc a lot
should probably fill my other 2 slots
i remember when you didnt used to get offscreen one shot in HC
used to only play HC til they ruined it
treated it as a roguelike where you kept a few spare items each ''run''
Just leveling the item rarity to sell it, goes for 10c at lvl1 and 40 at lvl20, so may aswell
swapped class each time i died too
like id make sure to loop around the whole cast with different builds
Hoping to get a 21/20 RF out of one of those 2, since i really dont wanna spent half of my currency on one xD
super fun but wouldnt ever attempt it nowadays stuff is too rippy
I really dont play enough to enjoy HC anyway
I'd probably burn out after losing 1, maybe 2 characters that i spent time on
its dumb access to boss fights is so gated
should be like when atlas first came up and there were multiple difficulty levels of the fight
you also had way easier access to map modifiers, no atlas skill tree then though
Yeah, i also like the new atlas tree, but really dislike the fact that you need to do the big bosses now to level your maps
I've never fought them before, and probably wont for a while/ever, so im just stuck at running either the same small set of t14/15/16's, or running lower
Hmm, looks like my full dps is around 735k with wave of convic and firetrap
tbf though im glad races are more rewarding now
back in the day you had like a 90%+ chance of just getting useless one use fireworks out of the lockboxes from them
and i like that microtransactions are tiered now so you can turn down the stupidly glowy effects etc but
most of the changes since about half way past launch i really think have put the game in the wrong direction
D4 coming out so they'll have actual competition for player retention too, the charts falling this much with 0 competition is super bad
yet they keep tripling down on bad ideas
forgot to post this
i might dip into trade for the first time in years for ruthless
but... not this league, them starting it with 0 challenges just put me fully off
next, maybe, if im around and its a nice league
oh and also if it wasnt obvious you can sell 5 relics to get 1 relic
Havent gotten a single relic yet xD (except the starting one)
have to be of the same kind
Works with sanctified relics too
Im not sure what to do, im either gonna improve my build with the 2divine i have, or i might start a wintertide brand
well tier 8 maps + is where you start getting sanctified til then i wouldnt worry
i missed out on a real nice one by not having 600 coins at the right time though
although im not sure if wintertide is good for sanctum
chaos leech and poison or something
cold dots are insanely strong in sanctum
as are minions and totems
but imo thats a boring way to play
i went full glass cannon ranged
Yeah, assumed so, wintertide seems nide for the brand detachment, since its just cast, and then dodge
also remember temporal chains got buffed so a lot of people are using that
im not but its worth mentioning
I've played a few cold dots, kinda enjoy them, and atleast ill have my flask setup ready xD, amethyst, quicksilver, phasing, and armor flask, all with cast on full, and everything but the amethyst one with gain 3 charges when hit
you might decide to swap what you're doing based off of first few sanctifieds
oh great i see adding max resolve is still massively bugged
i should really only start leagues mid way when theyve actually fixed a few things
just wiped a run due to that
What happened if you get disconnected while in a room? You can start it again? Your run isn't lost?
I really hope we can get some sanctum improvements before christmas
is the opulent completion broken? people in chat where saying it was broken
but i dont trust chat
question for fellow melee players, how are you guys getting through your sanctums? Seems like no matter how hard I try floor 1 just isn't possible to finish
yes
fix is apparently in this week's patch
according to bex tweet
I use 5x quicksilvers for sanctum since they don't deal much actual damage, then get real close to the guards to deal damage since most of their attacks are midrange aside from the blue vortex that spawns from the blue archer
Melee is hard mode for sanctum
Any experienced Forbidden Rite player around?^^
trade ded
Not a bad Final sanctum run
Original Sin honestly seems rather meh to actually use. I feel like elemental builds are already fighting enemies with 0 resistance because of all the curses, debuffs, and resistance penetration they have. In fact they might actually lose damage when equipping this because they could've previously had enough ele resist penetration to gives enemies below 0% resistance, and this increases them to 0% resist.
I suppose you could use it to swap your curses out for defensive ones and respec other aspects of your passive skill tree to swap your resistance penetration for other stats. But for a ring with no defenses, no life, and no resistances, it still feels like it's not worth the effort to obtain.
Oh wow
where is diana the text in my hideout says i need to meet her in fellshrine ruins but when i go there the text disapears
you get to use wither i suppose
its not inside the ruins its near the entrance of the zone
Can you swap out sanctified relics mid sanctum run?
How hard is the second phase of Lycia? Not sure if I should attempt it or claim my rewards.
not sure how people play this game for more than 20 min at a time its feels like a chore
Don’t play the game then
I hate the wilson vision
That is how flask nerfs felt in expedition
I'm not sure Fiendish Wings works correctly because I have no problem freezing monsters while I have it.
someone knows: If Hardcore Steam Achievements cann also be completed in ruthless mode?
how about 0 
Any good RF players mind getting in a call with me & helping me up my RF damage in early mapping? I'm struggling with DPS Q_Q
if i have 50 resolves and i take the afflication that will reduce my resolve by 200, will i fail the run right away?
what class are most people using for this league? I haven't played in years so I don't remember much
who is the best expedition leader for profit?
mostly rf, seismic trap, EA ballista, and Venom Gyre this league
If you're good Rog, Dannig and Tujen
If you're not then Dannig and Tujen
i basically bum rushed to Lilly so i could unlock skill gems
righteous fire jugg, and Explosive arrow ballista elementalist
i take it Gyre is on some shadow class?
nope mainly deadeye
huh, okay
im just starting sanctum its not to late right
it just started eh?
im just now doing my research on whats what
Never too late and yeah it started 2 Fridays ago
o snap 14 days already
!leagues
Temporary leagues typically last 3 months, contain a unique new mechanic and do not allow players access to their existing characters and items. Most players play the temporary leagues.
Standard is the permanent league and has been running since Path of Exile's launch. There are many more items in the economy, deflating their value. The population is lower than the temporary leagues. If you can only play a small amount of time per week and want to go very far in the game, this can be a good game mode.
If you are a new player, it is strongly recommended to play in the current temporary league.
For details on what happens when a temporary league ends, see https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2091028

This information was last updated on December 4th. The above should show in your local time if you have the right timezone set with your discord account.
10 days
thanks, im not a pusher or that good a player anyway i hope to be one day but im still at around 15-16 hours to maps. not 5 lolz
Just comes with practice, knowing where to go and minimizing time spent in town
woird, i updated my path of exile, updated my filters loaded my semi to the website so it refresheses have my choas enhancer till mid tier, have awakened i think i just need a starter now.
if im missing anything let me know
Nope just pick a starter and get goin
meant path of building
word i enjoy bows are they any good this league ill do my reasearch just curious
Bows got buffed a bit ago, they're a bit stronger without investment now but are still probably needing decent gear to map properly. Im playing Tornado shot but started poison concoction
word , thanks for the input, ima go do some research and then start playing. ggs
awakened poe, i can trust the update from the last league or i should download fresh, it says its updated but just wondering
v 3.2010002
so awakended, choas enhancer, path of building, i think im ready to pick a starter .
for the "cosmically challenging crucible" challenge does anyone know if the nodes Maven Invitation Item Quality count?
Did they ever patch / hotfix Trials not appearing?
p sure they did
I didn't know what this was until I dropped and looked it up. 
Which tier of map i need to run to get True-form fight at 4-th floor?
is t5-6 enough?
14+
I just got spammed for a Fleshcrafter chest. Something caused the price to spike dramatically. Anyone know what happened?
people found the recipe for dead reckoning jewels, so skele mages are a thing again
yeah got same
does anyone have issues capturing the map boss in ritual? i definitely saw the boss appear in my rituals, but when i used the vessel, the vessel doesnt show the boss
damn, I was really hoping for some quality of life for sanctum, stopping to store a room or running it, really breaks my mapping momentum..
How much do you bet that the close range resolve loss reduction is gonna be minimal
I don't think it will really fix the issue ppl are having. The league mechanic fucks over any build that can't dump the dmg out in short windows, regardless of distance of it being applied or dot or not.
Only skills like spark/SRS truly ignore the range limitation that the league mechanic imposes
summon raging spirits
Wheres our SRS emote gone
Like I was playing poison venom gyre, it was not the build for the league mechanic, despite fully ranged dot dmg.
It just didn't do enough dmg quickly enough / CC enemies
especially rampage stacks 😦
yeah ;/ it's probably not even hard to code in to get 1 sanctum room stored if you kill a map boss
@barren crescent it feels like they imitated Hades and ignored p much why things were like that in the first place
Also having 2 health bars to worry about in a roguelike is a really weird mechanic, no way around it
@barren crescent I mean Life + Resolve / Inspiration
Is the healing from 'increase max resolve by xxx" still broken? I just got +200 max resolve, and it did heal me the moment I got it but in the next sanctum run, my resolve was down to the previous level
does this kill me if i have less than 200 resolve?
So, had a bad time the past 2 leagues, quit them early on, but saw a lot of reddit posts praising this league, I've missed alot and have no idea what changes were made, is it a fun league in your opinion?
What is the best way to make money with RF jugg like expedition
Anyone gearing Huck for the heist atlas passive? I've never run heist so idk how good you can make him
It should. But it seems to not appear.
So you're gonna have to relog
Oh, you probably already have lol
Lots of generally good changes adding up. Most of the bad changes they learned from and eventually fixed. And the league mechanic is very interesting.
poe is always good
no bad leagues 
Anyone has MB build idea?
quick guys i need to know, if i go into the beyond boss do i lose my sanctum rewards if i die?
or can i snag the rewards then go back to the portal
You lose your rewards
Either grab the rewards by skipping the second phase, beat the second phase without dying, or die and lose out on rewards
do there exist sanctum bosskiller services?
"We hope to release it by the end of the week"
**7 hours later
Anyone else unable to interact with sanctum maps?
When I click it it says this in chat
seeing it across multiple maps
Anyone got the new ring yet?
is the party sanctum storing not working for anyone else?
Not done much of the sanctum but rather happy with the relics I have found so far
Inspiration on affliction is 
ye thats decent
I have a coin to xp one and bought 50% coin boost boon 😋
now just stacking time
Hi, do someone have some good league starter templar build? i found one, but it was outdated 😦 (i did not have time to play earlier)
Man, Huck should give the XP buff too while hes out with you on maps
what map lv should you do sanctums in, or does it not matter
this blight mob cannot be killed
had to let it pass, last mob, would not take damage
map mods tier 2
immortal mobs sometimes just happen, had them in a logbook recently, someone else joined and killed it just fine and it was only a single blue mob out of its entire pack
i checked mods too
no immunity or regen
for the 2nd phase of the last boss, when she does the succ attack at the beginning where she charges up a line in front her, does she do any damage at all during the wind up? i waste so much dps time because i try to dodge it 
do i lose it when i got hit that takes inspiration?
no just resovle afaik
does that 5% loss occur on every room afterwards? if so that's terrible to get right?
Well, it's 5% of current, so if you have 20 resolve, you lose 1
If you have 200, you lose 10.
If you have 180, you lose 9.
when at 1, you lose the run?
Sadly, after the patch, challenge socket 4 voidstone still broken and /recheck doesnt work

Did /recheck fix the ritual challenge or will I have to play more ritual shit
the price went up 25% in a few days, that's crazy
is it even worth to go the merchant on floor 1
even with the amount of coins i have?
Go merchant, but i swear that +speed also affects the spinning fire laser speed
Opulent ritual doesnt need /recheck
It works now
Hey guys quick question, does evasion work for evading resolve?
like if I have 75% evasion cap, does that mean that I will only lose resolve 1/4 times?
Or does that mean that evasion doesn't work in sanctum?
evasion does not work in sanctums
gotcha. So how defensive mechanics work, the only thing that will prevent you from hits are basically if the monster is dead right
or slowed by chill or temp chains
It still works but won't help resolve, no?
yeah, thats a better way of describing it. There are 2 kinds of hits in sanctum:
hits that damage your resolve
hits that damage your life
The ones that damage your resolve can't be mitigated through any normal means. The ones that damage your life can be mitigated via evasion/armor and whatever else
I thought all hits did both resolve and regular damage
But that's just an assumption
Hey there, could anyone tell me how i can unluck sanctified relics? I did the normal relic quest and the pact quest
does anyone know what the Binding Chains affliction actually does in sanctums?
they do
he is wrong
but even if you evade the resolve damage is still applied
Can sanctified relics drop only from the final boss of the final floor, or can you get it randomly
can get them from merchants or drops, but 4th floor seems to have higher chances
can be dropped b4 that, you'll mainly get it from final boss tho
Ah cool ok
Anybody able to help me kill a boss?
if I want to get awakened gem beast reroll again, I need to find einhar memory, or can it be normal map with einhar?
The memory
thanks
300 inspiration only which im going to lose half on traps itself and no good boons lol
ok easy 😄
lost only 100inspiration by traps 0 by boss
damn herald of the scourge is insanely easier now lol
I got pretty lucky lol. First map running harbs
Can anyone help me kill maven in Sanctum ig: rfsanctumjug
LF a lab runner or some who can put me in touch with one either in game or via discord
Harbs are juicy, I’ve also gotten a full Frab Orb drop and ~30 Shards just doing Legion/Harb in Dunes
elo guys, any reccomendations for a sanctum runner? Was thinking going srs but people were talking that its very popular so prices inflated af. Some totem or other minion build perhaps?
Ayo guys, whatcha think is a good occu build for sanctum? I'm looking for something with around 5 div initial budget
Hey, does anyone know if relics work in Sanctum boss last phase? If I stack "Bosses take x% more damage" for example, will it work on her?
what's this
guards are twinned
I think it means that the good thing
is that you get more coins
bad thing
it's two of them instead f one
ty
how do you get an opulent ritual?
anyone know what dmg type lycias red aoe thing is?
Lightning, I think
and double the drop chances since they can drop relics lol
Okay, this may be the most stupid question ever, but
How in the fuck do I access whatever I put my relics into?
I have now finished a sanctum and I still don't know how I can actually use my relics
did you do the quest in act 2?
does anyone else have connect problem after patch?
does rusted chains boon work with crystal chalice??
gain 100 inspiratiion when u gain an affliction from rusted chimes
crystal chimes you no longer receive any minor afflictions
Upon re-checking, I went there but did not click the Altar apparently
Hence it didn't unlock xd
For this league mechanic is inspiration explained anywhere? I kept seeing it mentioned in boons and afflictions but had to Google what it was
my best run ever
"I didnt even know you had to do the act 2 and act 7 thing until maps"
wait whats the act 7 thing ????
it is not, unfortunately
the tl;dr is, it's a secondary resource that takes hits before resolve, which starts at zero and has a much higher cap (which isn't displayed, I think someone said it caps at 1000)
div at 290c 😮
Searing exarch really dropping chaos value huh
is it time to bring back the gcp STANDARD?
Inspiration is indeed capped at 1000
do yall ever have one of those moments where you really fucking curse out rngesus?
This fucking shield showed up as a red star on my loot filter, and due to it's base i thought I had dropped a squire (and thus had a nice payday)...
BUT NO, ITS A FUCKING OPPRESSOR, AND IT SHOWED AS A RED STAR BECAUSE OF THE WHITE SOCKETS
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
why tf are divs costing nearly 300c
sanctum is bassically printing chaos to anyone who can complete it (most people), and also altar change
so chaos is super inflated
also, shit, thats fucked but hilarious.
honestly the thing that makes it funnier is i just got a very large scarab explosion earlier in that map, and on the map before that, got four expedtion logbooks at once.
So i was in a good mood, heard the noise, saw the base and red star, finished the nearby mobs super excited.... walked over to hover over it.... and it all came crashing down
was playing srs last league so my kills were mostly offscreen, so i feel you on that sound cue and minimap icon
Guys, are saved up sanctums character bound? I want to make a new char to zoom trough maps but when I got sucked into a sanctum while leveling it was a completely new sanctum.
Thx, there goes my plan of saving sanctums on one char and running them on the other
yo. how do you find this guy ?
i know he is on 4th floor, mausoleum but i can't see him
or her
KEK
I once got everything free but also got hit by merchant 1 offer :V
How does Venom Gyre do in the sanctum? I am getting off of a bad build and want to really get into the mechanic
It has a lot of visual clutter plus having to whirl can screw you but it works
But I wouldnt say its the best build for it
What do you think the best build is? I am mainly considering Venom Gyre since I got lucky and had The Interrogation drop
That makes sense. Seems the best builds are minion ones so you aren't at any risk
good god 295c a divine now
I just attempted the first phase of Lycia in the Sanctum. brought her down to like 50% hp, made my way to the platform at the end. but she just doesn't spawn there. I cant backtrack either cause the red smoke is there and wont disappear. what the hell am I supposed to do now?
why doesnt she spawn there?
You have to dmg her low enough, you rushed ahead
lmfao wtf
what the heck is up with divine prices, was 240c yesterday then right now its at 300c.
Probably a combination of divines scarcity, panic, overambundance of chaos, no real chaos sinks from mechanics and a bit of price fixing
Soon we will have to convert to exalts to buy divines, crazy
Hello everyone, i would like to try out the league now what would be a nice build to start with?
The sanctum resolve mechanic is or was quite problematic for melee build. Especially if you have to stand still a lot to attack. Not sure how it is after update but I reckon it's similar
Poison seismic is meta but otherwise pick your favorite and it should deal with the sanctum quite well.
Don't expect massive rewards from the sanctum at first. Collect some relics to make your future runs easy and consistent and then you can go for "end of sanctum" rewards that by the time will be substantial. [Mild spoiler] if you go for the final final boss you and die you won't be able to get the rewards at the end so be careful and maybe even choose to cash in the rewards instead (you can't cash in and then do the final boss), especially if you picked up divines (learned this the hard way)
what maps/zone do i need to enable second fight at final room?
I think it’s 80+ or 81+
Thanks
ithink summon builds are strong 2.20 😄 can anyone confirm?
anyone have any recommendations on smooth mapping characters for someone just starting out the legue
why is the tower of idels only 1 div this league, it was 6 div last league, did hateforge get removed?
Strong build for ranger or shadow? That can kill bosses and sanctum, not BV or venom gyre, was hoping for CoC ice nova? Or forbidden rite as assassin?
There are many smooth mappers it all depends what you like.
2% to Map modifiers or % quant nodes if I'm juicing my maps?
No challenge
Had op boons so
