[gray compass]

140 div...

more than mageblood rn

despair

[snow pewter]

Just drop 2 mirrors

[gray compass]

good idea

(more like RMT 2 mirrors lmao)

[snow pewter]

Look if you drop that mirror on the ground after in a map

You still technically dropped it

[gray compass]

gigabrain

[snow pewter]

Or just buy one house of mirror card and lifeforce gamble it

Infinite mirrors

Or you go broke

[humble zinc]

anyone know the chance of geting a mirror shard is from a 17mil shipment?

is it common or still rare af?

[orchid onyx]

Anyone want to make a new character with me? I'll fund your build.

[prime tree]

https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1lw6j1j/shipments_megathread/ could tally up people's results in this thread to get an idea. personally, i'd go 50m or just do 10k blue zanth to kalguur if you won't ever get to 50m.

[humble zinc]

Are u selling t0 uniques to get ur dust?

Or is there a better method now?

[prime tree]

not sure what other people are doing, I just stuff the disenchanter with the uniques i find (running like 100% inc rarity). At current mirror shard prices, buying uniques to dust should be worth it on avg. tho

https://poe-ratio-app-production.up.railway.app/

[violet nymph]

Same I just throw what i find after a couple of hours of farming. Got half a quad waiting to be dust

[little gust]

anyone know any annoints to put on my merc to extend the range of kingmakers aura?

i was thinking beacon of hope but it isn't an "aura skill" unfortunately

[rose dragon]

Afaik nearby radius cannot be scaled

[little gust]

nooooo

that sucks

[rose dragon]

And kingmaker nearby is very very small, Just 3m

[little gust]

yeah, i'm aware. luckily this bozo is always leap slamming on my head

[rose dragon]

So line marked 30 on this image

[little gust]

honestly not quite as small as i imagined it

[merry relic]

What is are those labels

Decimeters?

[rose dragon]

"Prior to version 3.22.1, distance was measured in unnamed units, where 1 unit was equivalent to 0.1 metres."

images are from that time

[merry relic]

I see

[rose dragon]

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Distance

[merry relic]

Doryani 6m is a lot larger than I thought

[rose dragon]

ye doryani has comfy range

sad that gravebind is just 4m

[merry relic]

Someone once said it's about the size of kaom's arena and I thought that was BS but it's closer to true than I thought

[agile verge]

So I got a late start on league a few days ago. Just did that questline with memory of reverence or whatever and got that gold flask thats worth like 155div. Thinking of getting a whole new build. Running PConc right now. Anyone got good sugesstions to fit 155div budget?

[gray compass]

EB COC Inquis works very well on a 150~ div budget

[proper pendant]

Guys , what build is this ?

empyrian is playing it .

[golden egret]

int stacking kinetic blast most likely

[proper pendant]

Thank you .

[latent nymph]

yo guys is there a way to get or farm a mirror in a week?

[golden egret]

commit a lot of hours to a good farming strat

[latent nymph]

do u know a "good strat"

[gray compass]

play 24/7

any strat

just play 24/7 and never take breaks and farm extremely efficiently

[limpid basin]

if you make 20d/h that's 8h a day

[latent nymph]

for all this time in the league there is no farming strat that is more effecient

[golden egret]

the more efficient the strat, the less hours you have to commit

[limpid basin]

if you make 30d/h 5.3h/d

[devout osprey]

can always pray for that mirror drop

[limpid basin]

more efficient than what

[latent nymph]

like ofc there is a strat that is overall better

[golden egret]

it's truly not about the strat, it's about committing the time and saving really. So whatever you find fun enough to play a LOAD of will be best for you

[limpid basin]

easy, have a bunch of mirror items up for service and watch the divs roll in

minor barrier of entry

[latent nymph]

sry but what is that mean

[limpid basin]

you're asking how to get a mirror in a week and dont know what mirror service is?

[latent nymph]

yeb

[limpid basin]

why do you even need to get a mirror in a week

[latent nymph]

what is mirror service mean

[limpid basin]

you craft a really good item, ppl come and ask to mirror your item

you let them mirror it but for an extra fee they pay you on top of supplying the mirror to mirror it

[latent nymph]

i should be trusted in tft

right

[limpid basin]

idk the specifics

if you have a mirror item on hand you probably shouldnt have to ask me

[latent nymph]

do you know if i have a mirror item what is the profit i get for this mirror service

[golden egret]

you get to set the fee yourself

[limpid basin]

1+ divines

[latent nymph]

crazy

[golden egret]

the cheaper the fee, the more likely someone will want to use your service

[latent nymph]

i see

[limpid basin]

i can't see the future, it depends how much you spent, what item you crafted, how much it would cost on average to craft, how much your fee is, how many ppl ar eplaying, whether they play a build that wants the item, how much competition is for other mir items, how much you are online, whether you go through tft etc.

there's a million variables and you ask me if i just "know" how much you will get

[latent nymph]

ye that was stupid question my bad

ty tho for answering

[winter edge]

how do I view other peoples mercenaries?

[limpid basin]

you dont, they have to show it to you via screenshot/video etc.

[worthy crane]

Can a helical be magic with two mods?

Can it be magic with two suffixes?

Nvm just found this on wiki

[agile verge]

Thanks I'll look into it

[limpid basin]

no

(#price-check📉 )

[summer jackal]

gott it thanx u

[spice stone]

What gear can I toss on a Doryani merc to do some lightning stuff less a chance of him dying

[nova glacier]

whats better for farming maps and doing ubers minions or specters

[glad zephyr]

spectres are minions

[nova glacier]

ok didnt word that how i ment

[spiral sigil]

ahhhh the whisper sound is so nice brought back memories lol

[stray ether]

anyone know when the current league ends? Im planning to try the league but dk if im too late and should wait for the next one, or just join in rn

[grizzled moon]

should be 2 months left or more

[full frost]

is this a good one ?

[sonic spade]

Who could be behind Ben's sudden death?

[daring carbon]

Jung paid him off

Ez W

[cosmic hill]

what killed him?

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1mi2wmg/ben_gauntlet_rip_on_uber_exarch/

found it

[gusty vessel]

anyone knows a fast and tanky build for duelist or ranger? my budget is a mageblood and 170 divine

idk which build to play lol

[feral harbor]

Just dropped this beuty in ssf

[ornate plinth]

You had a mageblood drop? Really...

[rose dragon]

Gz, now to roll them flasks 😄

[feral harbor]

yea

[prisma gale]

What the heck happened to the price of divine orbs (vs chaos)? The value just tanked...

[snow pewter]

MB tanked in value it's pretty cheap now

[jolly onyx]

it's the end of the league, everything is cheaper now, heck MB is 110 div now

[fossil rapids]

@gray compass did you ever put a weapon on your AG for your eblade character? or is it just a shield for scorch on block

[gray compass]

Yeah i have replica paradoxica for explode on kill
I don't think i ever put all items i had on my AG into my PoB/ had them exact as they are on the AG

[fossil rapids]

shoot, i should do that, i just slapped a kingmaker on to make myself tanky

[gray compass]

iirc boots where legacy on fury for more explode on kill

kingmaker is fine fsure

paradoxica/legacy of fury really dont improve clear much at all but it was more just for..

fun

having some explosions and whatnot

[fossil rapids]

sounds solid

[gray compass]

cuz no heralds or other explosions from anything else

[fossil rapids]

another question, how do you solve attack speed?

and is salvo for mapping or for bossing?

[gray compass]

bossing

salvo is good if you have a es on hit watcher's for running no leech maps though

(mapping wise)

[fossil rapids]

ohh

[gray compass]

ice spear imo is better mapping overall

[fossil rapids]

yea it feels great, its just my movespeed and attack speed slow af if i dont have a kineticist

[gray compass]

yeaaah fsure

i havent played mine in awhile

i been palying MSOZ EBlade trickster

that and fortify stacking wild strike champion

the inquis build feels so amazing when u get a haste shrine though my goodness

[fossil rapids]

still feels strong af with just a zealotry doryani merc, i have not seen a wrath zealotry merc in so fucking long man, im losing hope

[gray compass]

when u dont though its definitely alot slower but its very efficient in terms of DPS/Tankinness
great harvest/strongbox farmer realistically

[gray compass]

lmao it took me i think

like 13 hours of farming

to get one

it was agony

[fossil rapids]

dawg ive seen like 5, but i accidently skipped 1 during my templar twink mapping and i was like FUCK

[gray compass]

bruh lmao

[fossil rapids]

this other instance fked me, i saw one while leveling

i should have switched characters

to kill and recruit

i was dumb af and the merc bitchslapped me

losing it

13 hours aint so bad..i still got a month 🥲

[gray compass]

to be fair you dont even NEED a wrath/zeal merc you can run a kineticist or something else especially with more investment into your own characters gear

[fossil rapids]

whats your merc setup btw? do you use voll's vision? rare belt?

[fossil rapids]

i know but its so fkn good tho

[gray compass]

scaling aura effect and doryanis then capping res/getting regen, perquils for lucky, and % life regen rate/regen in general/recoup

[fossil rapids]

aura corrupt on perquils?

[gray compass]

I also used sin eater on him for ailment immunity for me

yeah i had aura corrupt on my perquils but

i never ended up even using it lmao

[fossil rapids]

lmfao

[gray compass]

tainted oil was expensive and never got around to it its not really needed

i was just lazy and forgetful lmao

just kept the base peq i had on him iirc

maybe i did switch it at some point but i dont remember rn

[fossil rapids]

base perquils what i have, whats your source of regen/recoup for merc?

[gray compass]

rare gloves/helm/boots
base regen suffix
base life suffix
(make sure res is capped as well)
and then % life regen mods on anything is good as well
then using 2 -% lightnig res rings with at least 20+% recoup on each
or using one high % (maybe -80 to -90+) with 25% + recoup and then kalandra touch (kalandra touch cheap asf)

recoup + at least 1.5k regen and res cap and hes borderline immortal outside of really rippy maps or simulacrum
for really rippy maps or simu just use defiance of destiny

[fossil rapids]

ok, i can get recoup/regen on anything other than my rings, cause they're not the best

[gray compass]

recoup isnt posible on anytihng but helmet implicits and even then its for one damage type lol

[gray compass]

certainly the ring of all time

[fossil rapids]

running this and a kalandras touch

just fkn cause

i have no money to even get one with recoup

[gray compass]

why not just sell it and get a -80 to -100 ring with recoup lmao

that ring is prob expensive asf

at least 100+ divs

[fossil rapids]

i hope it can sell honestly

[gray compass]

the -% to multi really kills it other wise it would be multi 100 divs but

should still sell

[fossil rapids]

hm, ok, ill do that

in the mean time i think i have a mirrored ring somewhere

can use that in the meantime with an immortal flesh or something

[gray compass]

or just use defiance in meantime

[fossil rapids]

defiance of destiny amulet?

[gray compass]

yuh

[fossil rapids]

ohh

1.5k regen is a goal then

lemme see what i can do about the rare stuff

thanks again Pyro

[gray compass]

even just 1.2k+ regen is more than enough if u have recoup rings and ESP if u have defiance on em

getting rare gear is very cheap for the merc

shouldnt run you more than like

100c~ per piece 1 div at very most

most of mine i think i got for like 40-60c

[fossil rapids]

can prob craft those yea

[gray compass]

no real need unleses SSF lmao since its so cheap

you dont need expensive mods

and dont need high flat defense or any flat defense at all

only flat life, flat regen, % regen, % regen rate, % res
and lest 2 life mods and however much res u need

some other mods can be useful depending on influence ofc tho if u really wanna go for em

like helmets can have nearby enemies take 6% more elemental damage

[fossil rapids]

rly? no flat stats needed?

[gray compass]

u dont need armour/es/ev/ward or anything

they are just a bonus

no str/int/dex needed either

just make sure ur buying armor bases that fit them

[fossil rapids]

what shield you using?

[gray compass]

this was my merc's gear

no shield on the merc but u can use one if u want

[fossil rapids]

nice belt

[ancient ferry]

If my merc has a curse on hit, and I have a curse on hit, and it's the same curse, is there a way to reliably apply my curse instead of the mercs?

Nvm, I'll just change the curse types, then I just need to increase curse limit

[humble zinc]

so if im rerolling with bench to get this

does it have to be level 74+ or 64+

like this

[pure gazelle]

cool ts merc test

[jolly veldt]

I read a few days ago there are a couple of good locations to farm mercenaries during campaign. Act 4 I think was one but can’t remember. Anyone know where (I’m in Act 4 of gauntlet)?

[west drift]

probabaly imperial garden or tower

[rose dragon]

"The base item's item level does not limit the type of unique items that can be obtained"

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Orb_of_Chance

reroll the rarity should work the same afaik

[west drift]

how to get a regal orb in act 4

XDDD

[worthy crane]

I didnt think I could miss this 50/50 until it happened

[gray compass]

I can give you some if you still need

[west drift]

in gauntlet even

XD

[gray compass]

No

[vernal veldt]

Anyone here who is able to carry through Hall of Grandmaster? 🤣 One of my last achievements but none of my Chars can make it (at least they removed it from the Atlas completion 😁)

[surreal helm]

guys, how's this for an idea. merc equips bino's and gravebind so your poisons prolif and you can wear a good weapon

[gray compass]

gravebind radius is extremely low

[surreal helm]

oh, it's already on the poe wiki merc strats page

so... I need to be able to wear the merc like a backpack

[glass cipher]

is that an galaxy headhunter?

[ornate plinth]

How do you get the galaxy look on your gear?

[keen verge]

double influence it

with Ichors and Embers

[glass cipher]

Galaxy comes from Shaper afaik

then theres also Tentacles which comes from Elder iirc

[gray compass]

nah it comes from reliquary keys

@ornate plinth

[spiral sigil]

If am searching for a guild where can I find them ?

[grim rover]

damn man, this has been a kinda good ssf league for me in that i want to make too many characters. still need to make dual-strike of ambidexterity glad and now found the impale bow gloves and want to make a dumb impale tornado shot champ. crit ground slam of earthshaking has been good to me with that crazy merc affix (flat crit per exert)

[spiral sigil]

BAMA or Fissure snake ?

[edgy lion]

What's a good single target dmg merc? Need some help against some mobs that don't attack for my Flamewood

[sonic spade]

what are non-influenced jungle valley maps good for?

div altar farming?

strongboxes too I guess

harvest mmh

[rose dragon]

harbs are a vibe in JV

boxes and harvest both like t17 mods, so t16.5 or t17

[sonic spade]

I'll do harbs then

I need an upgrade and I don't know what yet

like I know what but it's incredibly expensive

oh nice harbies use the same atlas bone as abyss

[patent orbit]

if it makes you feel any better i lost a 3/4

but i saved the base with 2 recombs

always gamba

[coarse lark]

How much divines should you have to be considered rich?

[loud rock]

Prob 600? At this current time of the league

2 mirrors is usually the standard for richness I think

[coarse lark]

is there a way to calculate the cost of a build in divines in pob??

[tropic quartz]

Is Aura bot for cluster merc nerfed? I have all the gear and right mercs spells but i tickle ubers

[worthy crane]

No because the market fluctuates

[worthy crane]

I just sold this one for a slight loss because it still hit int which some people use I guess

[patent orbit]

yeah fair

[narrow lichen]

Anyone using Toxicologist merc? I wanna use him for my bleed gladiator but not sure whats the optimal equipment for it. Thanks

[kind citrus]

would a merc with Envy be a good fit with a Pconc build?

[jolly veldt]

My toxicologist has added chaos damage and accuracy wherever I can get it. Equipped the Obscurantis unique helm that gives 1% added damage per 200 accuracy. She seems pretty decent without having invested much else. I’ve been thinking about switching to widowhail with a really good quiver but haven’t looked into that much. I’m sure there’s some sort of widowhail build worth considering for gearing this merc.

[cosmic hill]

yes

[kind citrus]

Ok cool. I wasn't sure if the flat chaos applied to the flasks hitting the target or the chaos applied by the flasks

[fallow merlin]

Hi is there a channel here to help with merc setups or builds for mercs?

[rocky nebula]

server maintenance 😿

hopefully this fixes the performance nightmare we've had so far

[rocky nebula]

maybe #1┃endgame-help or #1019646743299764255

[drowsy patio]

is there any good annoint recipe for my elementalist witch build

[rocky nebula]

this is a very unspecific and vague question

what's your build? and are you talking about amulet oil anointments?

[ornate plinth]

POE has grown so much that HH is going for 4.5 divines. I remember the days where it was 60 exalts minimum...

[glass cipher]

Thats still like 6-7d

[ornate plinth]

Exalts were the base currency back then

[sonic spade]

I have Jungle valley as my only favourite map.

[glad zephyr]

are they from a strongbox?

[sonic spade]

no, a mob

[glad zephyr]

[icy scroll]

whats global gv minion spectre? is there any?

[dry hare]

hi, i have the passive calamitous and sadist from 2 clusters, i don't see that i'm not igniting, i'm a EE smite trickster, i put general cry with infernal blow and controled blazed to proc it, but its not working, any advice ?

[sterile atlas]

Ignite has no icon on the enemy, just a visual effect.

Sadist only checks your character for ignites, not your general's cry mirages (or totems/traps/etc.). Your Smite would need some ignite chance and fire damage too.

[dry hare]

i see

[dry hare]

and if i put combust to tempest shield will it work?

[jade sentinel]

https://imgur.com/CpT5KtE

Can someone please tell me how to remove those trades so that more can be executed?

They have all been completed, but they never go away for me

[rocky nebula]

you don't have a cross x button to remove them?

[sterile atlas]

Yes, though it would also need at least a little fire damage

[jade sentinel]

There are no crosses

[unkempt island]

cant you just drag the chaos or shift+click em? they look like residuals from trade

[patent orbit]

you gotta take the chaos out

[dry hare]

i've solved by giving my boot 4% phys as fire for smite, and with calamitous , i should've be able to ignite everything right?

[sterile atlas]

Yep, you should be igniting like that. (Assuming you're not doing something strange.)

[jade sentinel]

@patent orbit that was exactly it, thank you so much!

[solid oak]

How cooked is the economy rn? Might just try hcssf for once if its bad lol

[gray compass]

divs are around 120-135 chaos rn so shouldnt be too ahrd to farm some divs by doing simple strats like harvest

[tawny pasture]

hc economy is dead on leaguestrt already

[solid oak]

ah okay nice thx, poe2 economy is insane so as long as its not that bad lol

[gray compass]

poe2's eco has been diabolical for the majority of the league

[next finch]

i am trying to complete the 'signature specialisations' challenge. i defeated a mercenarie and got his weapon which has the "of infamy" modifier. but it did not complete the weapon part of the challenge. any idea why?

did you already complete that?

can u show weapon?

no, it is not completed

oh

[next finch]

last suffix is of infamy

[devout osprey]

u got fooled by the poe affixes. "of infamy" is the default t2 attack speed roll

ngl i had a hunch this would happend

[next finch]

so this does not count?

[devout osprey]

no, its not a merc mod

[next finch]

oh

how do i know if it is a merc mod?

[devout osprey]

they are different from normal ones + only gained from infamous mercs. not the normal version

[next finch]

how do i know if it is an infamous merc and not a normal one?

[devout osprey]

they have a different name border, more fancy

[next finch]

alright, ty

[sonic spade]

this would have been the perfect moment for a mirror shard to drop from harbs but it didn't

we still won something though

Is faustus hte best way to get a 6L in ssf?

any delve expert know where is boss entrance can't find it?

i just need one more for the challange and can't be bother to find new one

[hexed vapor]

well damn

[ornate plinth]

Saviour was going for like 80+ divine a couple weeks ago. I've seen them as low as 13 divine lately.

Headhunter is as low as 4.5 divines

[brittle bobcat]

As a guideline, 2-edge nodes generally don't exist. If you see a 2-edge node, there's probably a fractured wall on it.
You also need at least one cell between the start and end of the path, so none of the immediately adjacent ones can be it.

Exits also need to branch off nodes, there can't be anything mid-edge. The only three valid candidates are northwest, north-north, and northeast, with the NE one screaming as it's a 2-ary.

[solid oak]

Ah okay nice, I tried playing poe2 again a couple weeks ago and divs are crazy expensive its impossible to start a new character really lol

[elfin sleet]

how do doryani ppl make their merc insanely tanky

[dapper mulch]

any cheapo build out there that can do most content? tryna get back into poe. got a sabo trapper but its squishy af and constantly underperforms in red maps. any input is greatly appreciated.

[agile hemlock]

VFoS is kind of painful for risk farming, but it is one of the best cheap builds around.

[thorn hound]

does anyone have a good atlas tree link for the city square exile strat?

[dapper mulch]

hmm whats so risky about it? squishy?

[agile hemlock]

risk farming means using risk scarabs, and there are quite a few mods which risk scarabs can add that VFoS kind of struggles with

[dapper mulch]

I see

thank you

hello guys i play molten strike lightning i want to run t17 maps can anyone help me for what mods i must avoid ?

guys i want good builds for trickster low`mid budget

[agile hemlock]

Concoctions, reap/exsang mines, chaos dot if you cope a bit

[thorn hound]

appreciate you

[warm vector]

Hi will the Doryani merc tech work with the Voltaxic Rift bow that converts 100% lightning to chaos?

[agile hemlock]

no

[bronze mantle]

cool

[limpid basin]

you deal chaos damage, so lightning res doesnt matter

[warm vector]

Oh. So the conversion takes precendence. Thanks

[limpid basin]

the most accurate way to describe it is that when you hit the enemy, it's all chaos. resistances are factored when you actually hit the enemy.

[bronze mantle]

that's not the way to put it tbh, it's not 'precedence' - one and the other are waaaay further apart in terms of what happens when

[limpid basin]

you don't apply resistances before convert, because convert applies in your damage calcs before monster-side stats like resistance become a factor.

[warm vector]

Ah. Great thanks. I understand now

[bronze mantle]

your damage (with all its modifiers and conversions) happens first, that chapter is done, everything that has to do with enemy (their resists, armour, increases) happen after that book is long closed

[warm vector]

Thank you.

[robust shadow]

i'm restating what everyone else before me said but with a different selection of words

damage good

[spiral sigil]

hey guys i just got back to the game the new atlas tree is confusing any tips or vieds i should watch

[cosmic hill]

welcome back

For just getting back into the game the atlas tree is a bit more straightforward than it looks. Just figure out what league mechanics you want to do take a few map nodes and you're good

Shaping the mountain

You also Power It Up by getting them void stones but that's mostly just things you only cancer if you do higher and higher level Maps to get to the boss fights

Besides that you just clearing one map for one point and just let it ride

if its easy drop I go Guardian, otherwise I go Necro

[glad zephyr]

it's t4, and you can chance and gamble for it

[fringe raft]

any fun to play fast screen clearing build? :3

[violet nymph]

Play enough blight snd you'll find a bunch

Ive found like 10 ancient skulls. No successful corruption though

[inner elk]

Flicker

[silent citrus]

clueless

[steady halo]

is this a decent merc

[steady halo]

i assume merc attributes contribute to stat increases?

[main scaffold]

I guess Alva is profitable

[twilit wyvern]

Can I do anything with this dude? Support him in any way or just keep farming for a keneticist?

[gray compass]

keep lookin imo

[bleak tulip]

For shipments what are the thresholds to aim for?

Obviously 50mil is the best but what others

[coarse grove]

Sanctum immediately started going better once I swapped out my eruptor merc. Suddenly, I can see.

[clear night]

anyone else unable to join the stockholm server?

coping that discord compression wont make it unwatchable

[desert kindle]

is there some sort of trick to dealing with t17 bosses?

they are so ridiculous

[clear night]

do damage

[proven dagger]

T17 bosses is a dps check really xD

[gray compass]

t17 bosses moves can be dodged too
or flat out tanked so

its really just a build check
or a skill check

[desert kindle]

everything one shots me

i cant live long enough to dps them

[gray compass]

Be tankier then
either switch builds or pour more currency into your build to become more defensive however that looks for whatever build u are

[desert kindle]

im on vortex of projection, do i ever reach facetank or do i have to learn their skills?

[gray compass]

i never used vortex of projection so i looked up it and this is the first result: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICbYRUZ6rRk

[desert kindle]

yeah no this video is uhh not good

[gray compass]

Why is that
It's what you asked for

[desert kindle]

it's just that this variant is ridiclously expensive

but fair enough i guess facetanking shouldnt be easy to reach

[gray compass]

Well >

[limpid basin]

outgear it or outskill it

or dont run the hard ones, if you do fortress only shouldnt be that hard

[cerulean sundial]

they have have 2.1b dps

and some how this guy lvl 81

[glad zephyr]

just exploiting a bug in pob to get infinite dps

[loud pawn]

theyre done with the char and are using it to troll the leaderboards

that build does like 100dps and kills you in one second

wait this guy actually looks like hes playing a real howlcrack build

but it just shows up as 2.1bil dps due to the poe bug

[humble zinc]

so it doesnt actually do anything?

just a pob glitch

[grim plume]

You can get crazy high damage with Hollow Palm, but not that high. It's just a bug to troll-- which seems to be working lol

[humble zinc]

ye prob y they capped the dps at 2.1bil

[loud pawn]

well this guys build is a real build, it just isnt 2.1bil dps

a lot of people are using howlcrack for the sole purpose of having 2.1bil dps on poe.ninja and have entirely non functional builds

[brittle bobcat]

VERSION[2.56.0][2025/08/11]
[...]

• Fix Howlcrack causing inf DPS with Generals Cry (Paliak)

[loud pawn]

guess they didnt fix it hard enough

[brittle bobcat]

This being PoB itself, ninja is another beast altogether.

Might not be on current version, might require re-evaluation, etc.

[loud pawn]

nah pob shows inf too

oh wait my pob is out of date lmao

i guess its just poe.ninja that hasnt updated

[versed bolt]

hey guys, i havnt really bothered with the wh9ole hiring mercs bit untill now and im not sure on what i should be building for them, im doing an elemental flicker strike build and this is my current set up. Any advice on what merc and gear i should be using for my build. Thank you.

[rigid moss]

If you want corpse explode you should probably pick a lane

You want gravebind for impulsa and Legacy

Otherwise just roll with asenath's and run garb and wake of destruction or something

[versed bolt]

ill take a loo, cheers

look*

[rigid moss]

https://poedb.tw/us/Anathema

This is just straight up better than doedres

[versed bolt]

ill pick that up as well

cheers for the help.

just didnt know what kind of thing i should be building for him

[rigid moss]

I think with what you're doing gravebind is the best option since you're also using vicario's

[light heath]

The "meta" is giving your merc doryani's and -light res rings and stack lots of lightning dmg on yourself

[versed bolt]

ill pick up the gloves and ring then and go from there

[light heath]

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Kaom's_Binding
Is also pretty good survival wise.. For you.

[versed bolt]

sweet, ill chuck that on the buy list as well haha

just been having aweful luck with drops this league so im broke as fuck. been a very slow crawl building up this time

[copper roost]

Anyone knows how to search for the #% reduced fire damage taken mod on trade site?

Cant seem to find it

[devout osprey]

try searching for increased, then put in negative number

[copper roost]

! thats clever haha tanks

[onyx zephyr]

does anyone have a link to this league's music?

[tough pine]

is this any good? i'm out of fross meta, inf cruel mistress

[broken grail]

any good?

[red wharf]

has anyone leveled scion aurabot in fresh ssf run? I'm wondering how to progress through mercbot mode

[desert kindle]

how important is chaos res this league? would like 30% be acceptable?

[manic kernel]

hi

[velvet yarrow]

equally important as every league

[desert kindle]

i havent played since heist

it wasnt that important then

aside from al hazmin

[manic kernel]

for Ritual, you might need to get 60 chaos but if you have arkali shakari pantheons fully done it can also help with poison along with ur 30

[velvet yarrow]

theres no reason to not get 75% chaos res

and its not difficult either

[manic kernel]

AMethyst flask for the situation where its needed, since we can pause now

does anyone know how i can simulate doing Lucky damage in PoB, eg my merc has perquil toe, and i want pob to know that i do lucky hits

[merry relic]

Config "your damage with hits is lucky"

[manic kernel]

ok thanks

Your Damage with Hits is Lucky (is the one that works) , no idea, think letter case matters

[daring carbon]

As far as mercs go, unless they have specific auras good for your build they should at least have a 5 link

84 is preferable but 83 is fine

[pure gazelle]

tf

[short lodge]

I think I finally have enough cast and proj speed for spark to feel good xD

[waxen juniper]

pob your merc and add it in party tab

[limpid basin]

or "your damage with hits is lucky"

[rigid moss]

Man that's about as good as you can get

The supports are a lil whack you'd want gilded hopelessness/gmp/etc on soul rend and cdr on void but that's sick

[latent walrus]

is a firelink merc the best one for molten strike build?

[wispy surge]

Does blight enjoyers go vulkan or dx12?

[acoustic light]

is COC fr of sf build better than manual cast build?

[summer jackal]

stacked decks ))

[soft atlas]

sure

[latent walrus]

is this a good kinetic blast merc?

[vast fractal]

yes

though the support gem could have been better

[latent walrus]

what link gem is preferable?

[vast fractal]

that but level 3

all

[latent walrus]

i see thx

[latent walrus]

know of a guide on how to gear the merc?

looks like there is like 2 variant of this kind of merc

lightning and fire

[vast fractal]

nah i use a pure str merc

there should be some gearing guild on youtube

[summer jackal]

corrupt ))

[daring carbon]

Imagine self casting spark ;p

[violet nymph]

With amd 6800m I go dx 12

Anything else is just cap

[violet nymph]

Don't spend it all on some fancy record player

[summer jackal]

i save it )

[violet nymph]

is you done with the leeg

[summer jackal]

no no i had 3 mirr dropped this league

im still farming etc

[violet nymph]

Oh no wonder you save it.

I got like 1100 divs this league but no mirror

[summer jackal]

gott like 4 stashes 1k each

[violet nymph]

This is madness

Why no currency tab

[summer jackal]

i have one i just preferr profit divs to not touch

[violet nymph]

Oh this makes sense. Tracking dropped divines vs divs you got selling stuff

what strat u do if you dont mind me asking

[summer jackal]

yeh see so thats my expenses

i treat currency stash like expense stash

spendings

etc

nothing special

and here they full of shiny ones

there is maybe +- 4/5 mirors in divs

theese are my pure profit since i started the league

like pure profit , whatever whates in currency stash thats expenses

[summer jackal]

well i do statick decks now, they just works out better for me, but i do main 3 ones - stateck decks, 8mods, and harbs

and whatever invite to bossing drops i do them too

[violet nymph]

Im gonna get on this stacked deck stuff soon haha

60 to a div is so free

I only get about 15 a blight ravaged map

[summer jackal]

40 per map 5maps run per 30 min

2deck per chaos

Make math

[violet nymph]

And still make like 5o a week while farming oils

Big munny

[summer jackal]

On a good day if your in the mood u can run 15 maps pee hour

If your build is decent

So 15 +40

Then total to x2

Then convert in divs

Plus all side juice

Like t17 drop maps , extra divs etc

[violet nymph]

Thats 10 div an hour and pretty chill too

[summer jackal]

Invitations, scaravs

Scarabs

Min 13divs

But take a look on max roll there isna decent deck strat guide

[violet nymph]

poe is the greatest for econ minded folks

I will try again

Ronarray

[summer jackal]

I follow the one from maxroll

[violet nymph]

Didn't work

[summer jackal]

To me, works brilliant on 8mods maps like Dunes and Jungles, mesa

But u can do on any open area maps

Thb u need at least 126points on atlas and all void stones

[spiral sigil]

Guys what are top builds for killing uber boss atm am a bama build

[daring carbon]

Bama can do pretty much all Ubers

Searing and eater are tougher

But the others are pretty chill

It’s hard to get a better bosser than lightning bama anyway

You can send me your pob if you want me to look over it

I did my Ubers for the first time on my first try other than exarch and eater, and they did not take long on bama

[violet nymph]

I need to try bama

[main scaffold]

wow

[merry relic]

If you're talking about only bossing, and I mean a build that literally only bosses, try ice trap

Skips phases by killing on exact frames

If you're talking about a build that's a generalist but still deletes bosses, if budget is not an issue try msoz

With enough budget you can one tap Ubers by preparing the zenith hit before fighting

100-0 in less than half a second

Don't do jugg zenith, do trickster

Doryani

[spiral sigil]

Ca. Y some me the build what class

[merry relic]

Trickster msoz

Expensive very expensive

I can send the planet eater level pob one sec

[spiral sigil]

How much div

[merry relic]

https://pobb.in/LnjpBkooTsGd

More like mirrors

Especially since the FF jewels shot up

[spiral sigil]

Is no something diving was

[rose dragon]

for ice trap its pretty copy-paste setup: https://poe.ninja/builds/mercenaries?skills=Ice+Trap&class=Assassin&items=Ralakesh's+Impatience%2CThe+Annihilating+Light%2CHeatshiver%2CDialla's+Malefaction%2CMilitant+Faith%2CArchitect's+Hand%2CBadge+of+the+Brotherhood%2CBottled+Faith&sort=dps

[merry relic]

They were price fixed for a while but they're probably just that expensive now

Ice trap for pure bossing is best

If you wanna just do a thousand Uber mavens for instance

[spiral sigil]

Can we get on a call

[merry relic]

Not right now and I don't know much about ice trap, only enough to know that it's probably the best pure bosser right now

I know for instance that ice trap skips maven phases

Beyond that not much

[spiral sigil]

Like I want a build in kills fade

And bosse

[loud pawn]

oh the aura effect on shapers seed is unscalable lmao

lame

[proud gyro]

is there like a channel to ask for help clearing a certain map..

[latent walrus]

My experience trying out the originator boss fight for the first time

Bought 20 boss map for 100 div.
Done the first few. Wow this boss is so boring. Gonna listen to podcast.
After the first half. Damn all I got is junk or unraveling orb if I am lucky.
Done 15. Welp. Looks like I am gonna be 50 div down.
On the 16th attempt. Heard a tink. Okey. Let go get my unraveling orb to break even.
Went to it. It's a flask.
I Repeat it's a fucking flask.
Originator pretty decent.

Hey guys I want a good builder I wanna chat with him a bit dm me

[scarlet sun]

what happened to magebloods? month ago they were 200+ now they are 80d

[violet nymph]

League problems, div is like 135c.

[rocky nebula]

people printing magebloods with harvest card duplications maybe?

xd

also T16.5 maps being as profitable as T17s without the hassle of layouts

Quite simple really, it's lupus

GGG really trying to give me carpel tunnel

[warm vector]

Bro! This is actually beautiful!

[warm vector]

T 16.5s are so laggy for me. T17s smooth as butter. As soon as I pop a 16.5 in lag

[rocky nebula]

It might be the new memory particle effects

this league has been really bad in terms of game performance for me too

[strange thicket]

what is T16.5 map guys ? pls

[rocky nebula]

T16 originator memory maps

[strange thicket]

ha ok ty

[rocky nebula]

they can roll mods similar to t17s

[strange thicket]

ok ok

[rocky nebula]

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/List_of_mercenary_classes

@twilit sage

You asked for a merc list 😄

you can look through that list to see what can work best with your build

[stuck sapphire]

where is my invitation?

does it have a drop chance?

my bad

it doesn't drop anymore

[hollow juniper]

[rocky nebula]

Go to Kirac. He opens your maven invitations.

[stuck sapphire]

yeah i had to google xD

[rocky nebula]

Lol

[rocky nebula]

[sonic stirrup]

well, it's a list where you can easily see which ones have access to flame link?

let's see, it's 1

so it's even sorted correctly

oh you wanted to use flame link yourself?

[daring carbon]

Try cruel mistress or sanguinemancer

[gentle radish]

What the??

[merry relic]

If you are interested, preflight has the mirror sword. Can contact him from the manacord. Some other people building it have up to 13b, and ofc you can energy blade for even more if you want.

The pob I linked is preflight's

[plucky jewel]

Is it possible to run abyss edifice strat on t7 city square maps? Or do you have to run it on 16.5 maps?

[rocky nebula]

yes but it's more profitable in high tier maps

[plucky jewel]

I’m doing it in ssf specifically to target farm uniques. So really I need to generate a bunch of t7 city squares fast and then just blast through them with rogue exiles, titanic, etc. No ritual bs or anything.

[rocky nebula]

set your favourite map and use Cartography Scarab of the Multitude, Corruption and Escalation to sustain maps

[plucky jewel]

I see so don’t do the abyss strat at all? I was doing it to generate memories in a t6 so I could get some 8mod maps for the uniques strat.

If I just farm t7 city squares using the scarabs you mentioned do I manually 8mod and corrupt them?

[rocky nebula]

You can use whatever strat you want as long as it adds lots of pack size or extra mobs. You can start with an 8 mod corrupted map craft yourself

[spiral sigil]

any tornedo shot veteran here

[drifting thicket]

Don't ask to ask! Post your question here so that people actually know if they can help. It's also better to discuss your question publicly so more people can chime in or learn! That's why these channels are here!

anyone know how rare replicca farrul fur is?

[spiral sigil]

Okay if I want a coach no vet is interested or this is not allowed

[hushed fern]

50/50

You get it or you don't

[cosmic hill]

wtf lol

They should let you put support gems in the recombinator

You can use it to get a support gem that does half of one and half of the other

would ruin game balance though lol

[lilac granite]

someone know why im geting such low tribute with ritual wisp scarab?

i geting more without it

its not real to get only 11k from city square with wisps xD

[gentle radish]

So apparantly that support adds redirects to vaal LA but the gem in game literally has no description LOL

[daring carbon]

It’s an annoying ass scarab that only works if you stand in it while something dies

Better off just using a pack scarab imo

Ritual though is like that, ideally the best tribute is from uniques

[lilac granite]

so mobs needs also be in circle?

[daring carbon]

Bottled unique vessels

[lilac granite]

its kinda scam

[daring carbon]

No you need to be in it

And it moves around

[lilac granite]

i was all time inside i have afk build

[daring carbon]

So it moves as something dies you don’t get the bonus

[lilac granite]

its didnt have any difference with it and without

[daring carbon]

You kept moving into the circle yeah ?

[lilac granite]

all time yellow aura

[daring carbon]

Yeah it’s just random like that

Best bet it to use vessels w uniques

[lilac granite]

withous scarabn

and that last map was on bosses

now i had to drag so no moobs packs

[daring carbon]

I genuinely see so little value in wisp scarabs too

I ran ritual for ages with and without

I preferred pack scarabs like div or carto

But ritual tribute can’t really be compared map to map

You’d need two identical bottles and two identical pack size maps and run with wisp and without

And you still might get different tributes 👎🏻

[silk burrow]

there's no way

[solid oak]

dayummm

[violet nymph]

I has to spend 5 house to get hour of mirrors from ritual

Fun but stressful

The wild swings are real but as long as youre bottling up a boss on city square youre fine

[flat oracle]

hi, i use spark to trigger poison DOT, which is better mod for me? increased damage OR increased chaos damage?

[woven steppe]

Hey is there a regex for red or yellow beasts only?

[violet nymph]

Due to 100 character limitations no

But on Travic's video the pinned comment has 2 different regex for filtering the red beasts so that all you have left in the end are the yellows 🙂

[deep quest]

what is the bare minimum to get an aura bot for a merc to carry me to work?

[light heath]

250? or it it different for beastiary?

oh nvm. it is different. that's lame

[violet nymph]

Ya i tried doing a long ass one didn't work

[violet pasture]

hey guys im about to start playing duo after playing solo and im wondering whats the meta rn for a duo setup? budget is like a mirror

[violet nymph]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Vq03TE66BeU&lc=UgyvP6miQMy3Uhs9uiJ4AaABAg&si=d2X82E2Deg4kJpVB

[light heath]

I don't like to capture beast, but when I did for a while I used https://poe.re/#/beast

Saved all the ones worth selling, yeeted the rest, lol

[violet nymph]

That vid has the regex.
First do 3xpensive
Then the bottom two separately

[violet nymph]

Ahh this is just for bottling yellows hehe

I assumed thats why the other guy asked. You could just filter for 200c and then release the rest lol

[light heath]

Makes sense 😄 I just never do beast. I hate the mechanic through and through xD

[violet nymph]

Hehe its why its still profitable

If people liked it, most prices would be in the dirt like essences. Maybe lower since its easier to get 15 beasts in a map as opposed to 15 essences monsters

[light heath]

Yeah I am happy there are people willing to do the unfun mechanics for profit! ❤️

[daring carbon]

I find beasts r chill now

Just ignore all them but the good ones

Great way to clear out shit maps

Insane profit

[runic zephyr]

can harvest white color hit sockets that are already white? im going for a 6 red dex/int base and not sure what would be cheapest

shit... one try costs about 4div and i need to hit 2 sockets so thatd be like 36div... still cheaper than trying for tailoring red socket, but might actually be cheaper to benchcraft jeweler the 6th socket to offcolor..

on a necrotic armor with exactly 1 socket itd take 6 chromas to hit red according to vorici calculator so that sounds super cheap actually...

[drifting thicket]

Socket colour crafting calculator: http://siveran.github.io/calc.html

[runic zephyr]

too bad i wasted like 3000 chromas and the blanching because i didnt look up how it works but thats just Lehrgeld i guess

also too bad that buying 2000 jewelers on faustus costs 50k gold, damn i dont remember it being that costly...

[sonic stirrup]

4 * 6 is not 36

Oh wait nmd

It's 6 tries for the last socket yes

If you need like all white

[runic zephyr]

got the 6R with benchcraft in only about 3000 jewelers so thats a winner

[lilac granite]

where we can buy 5way carry now?

[tawny pasture]

same as always since years

[violet nymph]

No way

[frigid whale]

guys, my bro realllly like blight. He's trying to get a build for it. he's been doing a minion build and it isn't what he thought! Does anyone here know what could be considered the "best" build for doing blights that is tanky too so he can upgrade towers?
my bro said he doesn't want to bother about map mods either... i said minions are the way then but he wont listen to that lol

[tawny pasture]

Almost all build can run blight when you know how to craft tower and have the right annoint

But minions is good at it

[ornate plinth]

If your minions cant do blight then you have a problem...

[odd gate]

what type of blight? blight ravaged or t16.5 blight

[violet nymph]

Rusel's build is the only one with video guides this league(for afk).I suspect spectres can work but I haven't verified it.

Point him to that and tell him he needs to grind out 200 divines to get to a good spot(around 100m dps). 🙂 no mb needed

I started in t14 red blight maps, graduated to t16s. Then ravaged a month ago

[drowsy patio]

which tier map that to you guys starting to appear more div and chaos to farm

l have been farming 8-9 left and right but only got some div

[thorn topaz]

16

[drowsy patio]

is this good also what is "crushed" effect mean

[merry relic]

Crush lowers pdr by 15%

[sonic stirrup]

I think you can hold alt to find out

im playing kb various build for alva, what kind of merc and build i should use for it ? its triple ele dmg

[steady halo]

Anyone wanna party

[willow flare]

I just party with homo sorry.

[plucky jewel]

im leveling up a 2nd character in ssf in maps. if im running yellow or low tier red maps, what kind of atlas should i be running?

[next finch]

how do i complete the peddlers produce 2 'item with an influence' challenge?

[devout osprey]

i did influence boots + movement speed recipie

or some wand + dmg recipie

[next finch]

ty

[next finch]

so influence boots + orb of augmentation + quicksilver flask? cause that aint working for me

[devout osprey]

does it preview?

[next finch]

wdym preview?

[devout osprey]

instead of orbs top left trading screen it should show boots

[next finch]

nope

but the boots have 35% movement speed already

that a problem?

[devout osprey]

thats why

its an upgrade recipie

[next finch]

aha, that worked

thx

[tawny pasture]

any atlas that help you getting upgrade

[gritty blade]

ya'll ever see a blueprint wing with five dudes in it before?

[merry relic]

An atlas that includes league mechanics for easy gearing. Expedition, harvest, syndicate, essences, etc.

Also kirac missions if you haven't completed your atlas yet

Don't try to fit every mechanic, choose one or two you will use for upgrades

[sonic stirrup]

It's a bug

You can even activate it consistently, but I'm pretty sure the extra rogues don't properly use their abilities so it isn't worth it

[near shard]

im looking for a Fallen Reverend merc. I already have a Fallen Reverend hired and don't seem to get any more of the same type. DO I need to unhire the one I have or am I just being unlucky?

[waxen juniper]

no, thats not a thing, the only way to not get one type of merc is exiling it

just make sure to not exile str/int ones

[near shard]

yea I think im just getting unlucky! Thanks for the clarification

[random star]

anyone use the shock ambusher merc is it any good?

[warm vector]

Hi. Can someone explain how slower projectiles = more dps in MSoZ?

[rose dragon]

More of them hit the target

[green remnant]

There will be a longer delay before the projectiles hit the target, but almost always a good trade off. You attack just as fast, but projectiles comes out slower. So you spawn more projectiles that hit the enemies once you get it going

[glad shore]

was thinking of Herald of Thunder autobomber. is that good to start off with no currency first character of the season?

[robust shadow]

lol no

[drowsy patio]

does the merc comment on equipment l give them matter?

[devout osprey]

no

[warm vector]

Thank you.

[latent walrus]

What's your PoB?

[wispy surge]

does doryani merc uses this with blue sockets on its gear to buff you?

[lone kraken]

you could do blue sockets on all doryani mercs if you wanted for extra flat added lightning

[wispy surge]

interesting, thank you for the information

[wispy surge]

alright, i just tested and it doesnt work for other piece of gear, all of them are blue sockets

[lone kraken]

i assumed it worked since you can fill merc with red sockets and king of the mists unique amulet for life stacking

oh nvm i get whats going on @wispy surge

its probably only local to the helmet

[wispy surge]

yeah, only the helm, which is 1 socket

[warm vector]

Why are lvl 6 awakened gems preferred to lvl 5? A 1% difference does not make sense to me

So basically a flex

[gray compass]

min maxxing

[tawdry nova]

anyone want to make a new character?

[daring carbon]

One blue is enough on ag or merc with a minion or lightning build to be worth it

That flat will get multipled a lot and for a minion build flat is king

Consider that your minion damage modifier is likely 300-400% at least, enemy is -180 res and you have lucky damage

And that 1 slot is adding 1k damage or more flat

That one blue slot is worth like 3-4 ghastly eye flats

[golden oracle]

Hey,
which kineticist is better?

[tawny pasture]

the one with only one KB

[mystic grove]

Is there a place for merc build guides? Trying to figure out best way to build out my determination/vitatily ripper

[analog crag]

#what mechanic you had most success with this league?

[mortal stump]

Betrayal and abyss

[warm vector]

Why is that one better? And what is a good weapon to give it? I use my Kineticist to apply curses

[warm vector]

Betrayal gave me a lot of stress setting up the board early on

[mortal stump]

Took a lot of maps to set it up for me that's for sure

[warm vector]

How to I find the nameless seer? I have been full clearning maps and he has not showed up once this league for me

[light heath]

Are you doing t16/17?

[warm vector]

I tried all

[light heath]

That is not what I asked. I asked for 16/17 as those are the only tiers it will show in.

and only non-unique

[warm vector]

T16 mostly

[strong nebula]

What is a good campaign build for shadow-trickster (i have mageblood)

[light heath]

To rush campaign? Hollow palm VFS or Power Siphon Mines

[rose dragon]

Better holow palm imho, PS mines is for leaguestart conditions without twink gear

Smite and VFoS Both work

[strong nebula]

Ty

[strong nebula]

Ty

[light heath]

Idk. PS mines is great with twink gear. You literally never get hit ever

Storm prison with double flat damage corruption

[strong nebula]

Do you have a pob by chance

[light heath]

I took inspiration from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbKLQB2VU_o
I don't remember the changes I did though. It's been quite a while. lol

[split dune]

Been playing around 5 leagues. This league was my most successful one. Got mageblood and ran t17s.

I thought that would be the final feat until a mirror dropped.

[rocky nebula]

very nice, congrats

[mystic grove]

What build

I'm playing reap rn and I like it but there's not a lot of survivability

[split dune]

Vfos then smite trickster

Vfos is easy to gear. Has a lot of damage. You only need to worry about surviving. This can help you farm currency

[modest flume]

Hello all, ok so reaching the end league i have exactly 1 mirror + mb + HH and a Nimis im wondering if u guys could recommend a good alva farmer build for 1mirror with some of the t0 i already have!

[waxen juniper]

lightning arrow elementalist/slayer, ek elementalist, kb deadeye

[potent tartan]

finally got my near-perfect mercenray (perfect would be infamous), cruel mistress with Despair + Zealotry + Envy - envy alone boosts my Forbidden Rite Of Soul Sacrifice damage by 37% 😮

[rose dragon]

Infamous aint better when hired, so you kinda struck Gold already

[split dune]

t17 boss has like a shrine buff super regeneration. 😵‍💫

[robust shadow]

[next finch]

where can i price check for a watchers eye?

[prime tree]

all the mods are on the trade site, so i'd start there.

[jolly veldt]

Found a manyshot merc with GMP, forking, and return as part of the 6-link. Icicle rain is 5L. Blink arrow too with hatred and Vaal grace. I don’t know enough about the best way to equip. Any recommendations for manyshot ice shot merc?

[next finch]

Idk if it is correct, i have 3 rolls on it and there is only 1 other jewel out there like that, that is priced 2 mirror

[rocky nebula]

Loooonger is Bettttter!

[noble spoke]

Hello, does anyone know if the league is being extended, if it makes sense, should I make the second character?

[stark frost]

!leagues

[drifting thicket]

In Path of Exile 1, temporary leagues typically last 4 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 1'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

The current league started:
PC - <t:1749844800:R> on <t:1749844800:F>
Console - <t:1749844800:R> on <t:1749844800:F> (bugs delayed this start time)

This information was last updated on 14th June 2025. The above should show in your local time if you have the right timezone set with your discord account.

[prime tree]

no word from ggg about it, expectation is that it will be a 4 month league as they said.

[plush robin]

spicy sushi is the best vtuber handsdown

[hasty lark]

wdym extended?

didnt ggg declare 4 months rotations?

[tawny pasture]

Ggg said lot of thing

Didnt always went like they said

[prime tree]

you might be pinging/replying to the wrong person

[hasty lark]

yep ,sry, my bad

[kindred ether]

chat I'm at a loss cannot for the life of me find this fissure went around several times

[prime tree]

most likely

[kindred ether]

thank you I've been running circles not finding the damn wall that was it

[little gust]

I’ve still, to this day, never found a single destroyable wall in delve. I just don’t understand it hahahaha

I’ve spent hours before looking. Kudos to y’all that have mastered this mechanic. Seems fun once you do.

[sonic stirrup]

Remember that if you see a 2 path node, it's probably the way

[sonic stirrup]

It's not all that complicated. You just remember that the wall occupies a seemingly empty square on the grid
And that it has to be directly adjacent to a node
And that delve doesn't like making 2 path nodes, so if you see one it's probably a three path node where one path is hidden

[kindred ether]

chat I need help understanding the sanctified scarabs challenge in regards to the item quantity, does the map item itself has to be 80%+ to count for it or not, and where can I see in-game what the actual % is

[languid bloom]

Does anyone have a level 69 character in Mercenaries softcore trade league? I’m looking to hand in a div card set to receive a ilvl 69 item. Will pay whoever can help me.

[blissful patrol]

Do anyone know if it's possible to targetfarm a fallen reverend merc? i must've done like 150 maps and i can't get one with Wrath/Zealotry

[waxen juniper]

block anything but str/int and run maps faster

[latent walrus]

You target farm by exiling the attributes other than str/int

It will take awhile. So not getting it in 150 map is normal.

Especially with fallen reverend is more rarer from my experience

I did manage to get wrath + zealotary but it took like 2 full tab of map

[proven stag]

If we’re quitting the league do we need to take all the gear off our mercs before they get wiped for 3.27

[silent citrus]

Here's hoping they go core

Stage 4 copium

[grim raft]

how many mirrors you got in merc gear

[grim raft]

31/36 challenges, 5 more, pain

[little gust]

Trust me, i’ve watched guides and still can’t find them hahaha. I’ve just accepted that we can’t be good (or apparently even capable) at everything 😂

[little gust]

No mirrors but i’d sure be bummed to lose my yoke of suffering with whispers anoint and extra curse corrupt hahaha

[urban ravine]

poe2 discord is a serious regime wow

[limpid basin]

[prime tree]

probably the safe thing to do, tho i'd assume they'll just move the gear into remove-only tabs like they do for heist rogues for example.

[unique spoke]

hit 2 RT ephemeral edge today in 6 tries, then poof a HoM

the gamble giveth, the gamble taketh

[proven stag]

About how long should it take with the Alva gull strat to farm enough currency to mirror an item

[lilac granite]

we can reroll two influenced items into another influ in harvest?

or its limited to one?

[sonic stirrup]

It will randomly change both influences

[lapis totem]

Can anyone provide insights on if this manyshot is good? I amrunning flamelink aurabot

[stone trail]

Is there any validity as to blocking as many league mechanics as possible and only running white maps to get memory tears?

[prime tree]

🤷 not aware of anything beyond anecdotal stuff. chance seems to be ~6% (or ~8.4% with the increased chance nodes at the top)

whether or not too many mechanics or having as few mechanics as possible has any impact on that, haven't seen any data for that.

[grim raft]

what build to do with 800 div

[wintry lily]

When is the current league (Secrets of the Atlas) ending?

[rocky nebula]

maybe mid to late september

[grim raft]

4 months schedule, so probably october even

more time to do the challenges all chill

[wintry lily]

I played up until act 5 and stopped

I need to get back at it

To see if at least once in my life I'll be able to finish the campaign and actually do any endgame content

[rocky nebula]

I would suggest asking for help in #1┃looking-for-group

[odd gate]

1.5-2 months away

[random star]

there a good way to try fish a good merc? im playing ssf trying aura bot best i could do was one with added cold and return

[rocky nebula]

Exile the ones that are completely irrelevant to the type you want

[unkempt quartz]

Pls, I'm finding some one carry me to finish 36 challenge.

[summer jackal]

Guis one question if I purchased the key pack for poe2 on ps5 but it's from poe1 they offered 300coins included in the package. Was that mean to be spend in poe1 or poe2?

[prime tree]

don't think there are poe1 exclusive or poe2 exclusive mtx currencies. They should work in either store since most of the features are shared between the two anyway. eg. if you buy a stash tab in poe1 you'll have it in poe2 as well and vice versa.

[summer jackal]

Thanx u my man yeh I was only thinking to spend them 300 coins gifted from the key package on stashes for now

Just for the main essentials

[potent sonnet]

finding a merc with good aura's is so legit

[boreal pilot]

any betrayal enjoyers can tell if I'm unlucky or doing something wrong? I want both gravicius and rin to spawn during the transportation encounter in order to make rin and grav rivals. But I'm spamming maps for transport encounters and only rin spawns :/

[scarlet sun]

I was just randomly checking poe ninja could someone tell me how this guy from day 4 to 5 got mageblood, simplex, original sin, resolute + attackspeed on sword insane rare items and sherapnel specialist forbidden jewels

[tawny pasture]

group play and market farming

[scarlet sun]

okey but 4mirrors of gear on day 5 of league is just not possible

he also got all that in one day

[tawny pasture]

that not 4 mirror worth on day 5

[odd gate]

his group was probably buying gear since league start for the swap too

not just all of it on day 5

[agile hemlock]

Isn't that a sanctum runner on day 4?

[waxen juniper]

it is very possible even if u're not a party player

[spice owl]

Any fun late league builds anyone wants to recommend?

[pliant pewter]

hey if I use the menagerie recipe for 23% quality on a vaal gem, does that lock me out of the level 21 recipe for the same gem?

[sonic stirrup]

Create

Not Modify

[pliant pewter]

Oh ok thanks

[bronze topaz]

When will this league end? Only asking because I want a timeline.

[tawny pasture]

In about 2 month according to the goal they aiming

[bronze topaz]

makes me wonder if I got time to run a witch

[waxen juniper]

100%, many farms are super inflated so progression isnt hard at all

[bronze topaz]

great

[green remnant]

Its still 2 months more?

[green remnant]

Yeah i was like, wasnt it 2 months at the start of the month??

[mortal stump]

It's end of August but in 2026

[warm vector]

You need to make each member in the groups of five rivals with the members in the two groups. In other words "All fives, rivals all twos" I suggest you do one group of 5 at a time.

So you could start by making It that fled, Janus, Guff, Aisling and Tora rivals with Gravisius and Rin then Haku and Vorici. Then move onto the next group of 5.

The key to making rivals is them friends to increase the chance of betrayals. Simplyvisniz has a great Betrayal guide.

I pair it with Boss Rush and Alva which you can do with scoured maps

[warm vector]

The leader rarely spawns. You might have to spec into "Chance for leaders to reinforce node at the top". But that board isn't complete.

[boreal pilot]

My plan is to make rin rivals with grav then move her to intervention, once I do that I'll move vorici to transportation

Im doing the rivalry between transport leader and intervention member as well as rivalry between intervention leader and transport member strategy since I want to farm only transportation and intervention safehouses

In order to force the leaders back into their positions after i do the safehouses

[prime tree]

their goal is a league every 4 months for poe1 and poe2 with a 2 month offset inbetween them. So, with poe2 0.4 releasing now, 2 months after poe1 3.26, 3.27 should release 2 months after poe2 0.4.

[next finch]

how do i complete the challenge 'recollections realised' fast? how do i easily get memory influence maps or the memory maps chain on the atlas? and how do i easily get the 'courtyard of wasting' and the 2 other maps? i dont want to play too long just to get 36/40 challenges done.

[silent citrus]

settlers ptsd

[prime tree]

you can buy completion from other people for the courtyard of wasting, theatre of lies and whatever of impurity part.

[queen bronze]

alright so how much of what crop should i be sending where for a 50 mil shipment

[prime tree]

people just do 50m worth of wheat+corn (you can replace up to half of that 50m with dust if you want)

[queen bronze]

so do the other crops not matter at all

[prime tree]

for the 50m one not really. you could also send a mix of all 5 crops if you want. only thing you shouldn't do is only send one type of crop.

[queen bronze]

okay cool

and it goes to one of the two closer locations right

for less risk

[prime tree]

ye, ngakanu because tattoos currently i guess,

[next finch]

where can i buy these?

[prime tree]

tft would be one place. they have a challenge completion service channel

[hollow olive]

My build doesn’t do as before anymore slower fire rate and such? Is It beceause of the changes?

[sonic stirrup]

there has been no such changes in the #1┃mirage-league

[hollow olive]

But my galvanic shards shoot half the speed now i dirnt change anything

I cant see whats wrong

[sonic stirrup]

there is no such skill in #1┃mirage-league

[lean sparrow]

You guys remember if this pack for 300 works in POE2?
https://www.pathofexile.com/shop/item/MercenariesVaultPass

the set

[gray compass]

Yeah

[lean sparrow]

but to get that skin, i gotta complete the track after buying that 300 coin thing? how long does that take

[sonic stirrup]

It takes quite a while. Especially if you're new to the game. I would say at least like 30 hours, but that's a lowball estimate. Significantly more for a noob, especially if playing casually.

[lean sparrow]

is there a way to pay and complete it

[green remnant]

No

[devout torrent]

Why are mods muting me from the poe mod mail for sending a single mod mail that they dont even answer?

[warm vector]

Ok. But once the board is set up they automatically go back to the leadership position so you won't have to worry. Check out simplyvizniz's video. It is really helpful.

[sonic stirrup]

Personal assumption would be that your question broke the server rules or was stupid

Your question is both offtopic and severely lacking in meaningful detail

[warm vector]

I did have much luck with Gravicius but Rin give me a boatload of chisels that I made really good currency from

[valid veldt]

hi guys! noob question in game my rf says 1.7 million but in pob it says 1.1 (i have ticked the flasks) what am i doing wrong?

[tawny pasture]

What wrong is that you look at ingame number

[sonic stirrup]

Probably telling pob that the effective enemy res is higher than 0, which might not be wrong
