hmmm thats wierd

@main epoch rejoin the harbor through coins till you get back into the instance with your grand heist portal. can take several tries

frosty aurora
#

how the hell does damage items work on heist dudes

#

like if i give magic dmg stones on karst

#

do i get spell dmg in the heist

#

or wut

#

or i should just chase zealotry and anger n crap like that

#

haste perhaps

wary smelt
#

welp lost my grand heist

#

nice league btw

valid isle
#

wew

#

targets 2x as many

still mural
#

the combat stuff only affects the rogue you equip it on, except for some mods which explicitly say they also affect you & the auras which obviously affect you @frosty aurora

#

looks like Karst, Nenet, and Isla use projectiles; Niles and Gianna use magic; Huck, Tibbs, Vinderi, and Tullina use melee

#

they can equip ones that don't actually give them any benefit from the intrinsic

frosty aurora
#

i see

#

aight ty

#

i never see them do any dmg

#

seems kinda redundant to w/e im wearing on em

still mural
#

depending on your build, they may not get the chance 😄

#

basically the combat slot is just another slot to roll mods on, IMO. there's some useful ones there, though I'm forgetting which ones exactly.

#

the rogue equipment is best used to get +lockdown time, IMO

acoustic scarab
#

i need withering step

#

The area gets so clogged up

wary smelt
#

the combat items are used to give ur character auras

#

each of the 3 has different auras

stuck horizon
#

from what i see without any equipment Vinderi,Huck and Tibb deal pretty decent damage and can one-shot any common enemy O_O

still mural
#

phasing is super helpful, yeah

weak meteor
#

1- on a heist, can I go out to the harbor to my stash, and come back?
2- in a grand heist, can I go to the harbor leave my loot, and finish the other areas ?

still mural
#

In a contract heist? No.

#

In a grand heist, theoretically yes, but right now it may put you into a different harbor instance which doesn't have your portal back in.

#

if you're in hc ssf or a private league, it's fairly safe (fewer players = fewer instances = less likely to wind up in the wrong instance & less tries needed to get back to the right one), but I wouldn't recommend it for softcore or trade leagues

ruby berry
#

@weak meteor I tried that in grand heist and I lose the portal .. so you cant, so far ( I dont know if GGG will make it possible later )

#

guys .. job exp affected by what? just area level or there is something else?

weak meteor
#

@ruby berry didn't GGG fix that ? Is something that happens only on grand heist?

frosty aurora
#

havin 3 purity of element could be nice

extra fat wont hurt

HMMMMMMMM xP

#

when do i finally get a dang heist trinket?

violet nymph
#

from a grand heist

abstract cave
#

so never? lol

violet nymph
#

xP

#

they arent assssss buggy anymore

abstract cave
#

sure they arnt...

violet nymph
#

im not saying they arent at all buggy

#

but they arent as bad as a few days ago

still mural
#

specifically a grand heist with the trinket/currency reward type

#

belated but @weak meteor they fixed it, but then folks couldn't leave their grand heists if their harbor instance was full, so they reverted the fix, so it's still un-fixed right now while they work out those issues

ruby berry
#

@weak meteor IDK about ggg, but I did that mistake before 30min from now.

still mural
#

@ruby berry afaik it's only affected by heist level, yeah

shy girder
#

how high of a level do you think you can get to with only doing heist to lvl?

lucid stone
#

Does anybody know what Forgotten Corpses do?

weak meteor
#

@still mural thanks I just read about it, lost 1/3 of my grand heist bc of that.

still mural
#

someone said it's corpses of mons from past league mechanics? @lucid stone

lucid stone
#

huh...

#

So it's a way to get synthesis spectres?

next epoch
#

where are you seeing "forgotten corpses" in game?

in heist its better to run or just to fight ?

quaint echo
#

u get very few xp. gods know why

#

bad decision after bad decision

vague glen
#

Is there a secret to avoid the sentry towers in a heist?

still mural
#

run fast

#

and learn to recognize the layout of the rooms that have them; it's pretty easy to spot. also they only show up in perception heists, if you didn't know.

vague glen
#

That I didn't know. Fails a wing in a grand heist because of those choads

#

Not to mad it just had a trinket room

runic rune
#

is grand heists crashes should i run them?

inland linden
#

does quant and rarity on heists affect chest loot? I guess not cuz it would be op, on the other hand with the low mob count there it seems fairly useless

jovial olive
#

Hello folks, so what grand heist can I run and what should i skip? Are specific reward rooms/followers bugged?

still mural
#

afaik the specific layout bugs have been fixed; the main remaining issues are some folks are still crashing & you can't reliably leave and return because it sends you to another harbor instance (unless you're in a small league, like hc ssf or private leagues)

stable saffron
#

did GGG fix repository door ?

still mural
#

yes

neat rover
#

was there patchless fix

#

for all the shit that was buggy in grand heist?

#

is it safe to do it now?

pliant stream
#

not yet. but i guess it depends on your luck. i did a few since leauge start and never crashed. but leaving the portal to stash stuff is still unsafe. and crashing seems to be a thing still too. if you read a few comments here, you see ppl still experiencing this

#

and as for buggy dors, i dont know. never happend to me, nor do i know if ppl still have the issue

neat rover
#

i had twice buggy doors that you couldnt open

#

in like 100 heists

#

regular ones

#

so that is not that bad

short canopy
#

what's the most efficient way to farm heist now

pliant stream
#

i guess, pick a reward type you like to gamble and then scale rouge equip in more time before lockdown and run the hell outta this chests:D

still mural
#

buggy doors was fixed with patchnotes, not without them 🤷

patent flame
#

Granted im still in yellow maps but I havent actually encountered any bugs besides sometimes lasers still being active after opening a door, but even that was only visual

#

I've run several grand heists as well and never encountered a bug that ruined it, I just haven't stepped out to stash my stuff in fear of losing the portal thats it

rigid stream
#

Thats what Happens to a Lot of people. Just a selected few have Major issues related to their drivers or setups

abstract pelican
#

anyone knows if revealed reward rooms in grand heist drop better stuff than the same rooms in regular heist?

still mural
#

I doubt it, but I can't say for certain

rigid stream
#

Yesish. They usually have 2x chests

native sonnet
#

it says on the bp what items u get from GH

#

alt q gems, replica etc

#

as for is it better or not, depends which ones u got/value more

abstract pelican
#

@native sonnet those are from end room only, not reward chests, no?

native sonnet
#

oh, u meant those

#

feels the same

abstract pelican
#

ok

terse sinew
#

Considering that my rogues still get stuck on attacking enemies I dont really think drivers or setups are the culprit

#

I have crashed to desktop seven times today and only once aside from that in past month

still mural
#

idk why crashes would be related to rogues not doing their jobs, though?

rigid stream
#

I must be doing something really wrong or right?, i very rarely crash. Maybe... 10 Times in the Last 5 leagues combined?

void wing
#

Nah just hardware differences.

still mural
#

I do think the crashes are likely setup/hardware related. like stuff they changed for league launch interacting weirdly with some setups.

#

it's a constant battle for poe

rigid stream
#

Yea but i dont have an amazing Setup. At this Point i think people have very scuffed configurations, or are lying about their Setup and have extreme potatoes

still mural
#

🤷 it doesn't mean that folks who are crashing have bad setups

#

just not ones that ggg were able to test on

rigid stream
#

An i7 6700 and a 1060, which are fairly medium

void wing
#

It's not just about which hardware, but the combination and their specific pieces etc.

wet plaza
#

doesnt mean shit tbh its purely random who is affected from people i know

still mural
#

i mean it isn't gonna be purely random; there's something causing it

rigid stream
#

Usually, in many cases, people have a bad Driver Setups

wet plaza
#

its someone else every league, its not consistently low rigs

#

or something

rigid stream
#

And have some janky Hardware Booster active, or are running the latest drivers (please dont do that ever^^)

wet plaza
#

sorry but that is purely speculation

rigid stream
#

So far, from what i remember, many crashes across all leagues were related to GPU drivers changing some calls or the structure and Poe wasnt Accounting for that and crashed

void wing
#

Heist stability has been a massive disappointment considering it's a medium core mechanic.

rigid stream
#

And often GGG Had to contact the people who wrote the drivers

#

Cause they randomly deleted Features they needed without documenting them

wet plaza
#

didnt crash last league, crashed tons this league

#

didnt change anything

still mural
#

idk why heist being mediumcore would affect stability either

void wing
#

It doesn't?

rigid stream
#

Did you try Vulcan/DX11 or Vice versa?

void wing
#

It's that a medium core mechanic becomes much worse with bad stability.

rigid stream
#

Faust

still mural
#

ahh, gotcha

rigid stream
#

I have Had poeple in Here that Crashed with DX11 Like mad and switched to Vulcan and all crashes disappeared. While they couldnt run Vulcan at all Last league

patent flame
#

I had very bad crashing issues in delirium, but in harvest and this league almost 0 issues. No change in hardware either

#

Just depends on the league it seems

void wing
#

And the jarring changes in loot balance haven't been nice either.

#

It's good the core mechanic is interesting.

jagged surge
#

I have lost several ex worth of loot due to random crashes in heist, performance is all time high tho.

sonic plinth
#

is it just me or are the totems in heist not taking dot damage?

still mural
#

sometimes the observer totem thingies don't take damage/aren't targetable, yeah

#

not sure if it's a bug

rigid stream
#

No

#

Your rogue has to Run Up to them First

#

And has to "activate" them

#

Usually Works fine but sometimes they chill around in a Corner fighting some dudes

still mural
#

ah, so that's it; good to know

rigid stream
#

They all have their own quirks, Like agility not having Doors on the way Out, or brute force stunning people behind Doors.

#

a lot of crashes on my end but not anymore

#

and only heists

GRAND HEIST BUGGED?

#

i revealed 3 wings

#

still didnt get achievement

all 3 wings

#

i spent 20k coins on this shit

restive geode
#

I just did some Heist now after having way too many contracts, rewards are pretty busted, right?

past badger
#

I haven't crashed once in heists, yet. Guess im just very lucky

#

Though haven't done any grand heists, savin that for when i KNOW it's working

still mural
#

what do you mean by busted? like, busted good or busted bad? 😄 @restive geode

#

I would recommend doing one grand heist with the trinkets/currency reward to unlock & get one trinket @past badger

restive geode
#

busted bad

still mural
#

kit your rogues with +%lockdown timer gear, and loot as many chests as you can from triggering the timer to getting the target item

its sad, this league... u cant go fast -> doors/u cant go slow -> soldiers/u cant go tanky, soldiers are fucking mini bosses/u cant go squishy build, u will be oneshotted

#

bugged league, all builds unfriendly, now not rewarding/too high risk, also empty maps

shut quarry
#

dunno my build works great, only i can't run above lvl 70 heists without crash, so no idea if that could work

mild nacelle
#

anyone else gotten stuck in vault doors? i just had to relog because my character got stuck, couldnt move or use spells, so i couldnt dash out of it. Only thing i thought to try that actually worked was relogging

violet nymph
#

do orbs of alchemy/transmutation affect chest drops in heists

restive geode
#

you mean making them rare? they get quantity in them with some mods so technically yes but not sure it's super worth it

still mural
#

that's a bug I thought they said they fixed... may be worth posting in the bug forums so they know it isn't @mild nacelle

#

it might only affect monster drops & not chests, like blighted maps, but I'm not sure that we know for certain. makes them a lot more dangerous, though, so I wouldn't make em rare. @violet nymph

violet nymph
#

yea ive been keeping em magic

#

but i wanted know just in case

zealous gale
#

Is Huck good at anything skill-wise, or is he just in the game for his buffs?

#

he seems to have a maximum of 3 in everything

noble junco
#

can we exist grand heist safely now

#

or is it still bug

still mural
#

yeah, he maxes out at 3 in each skill, so he's really just for the combat buffs @zealous gale

#

@noble junco still bugged

rapid shell
#

Where to Mansion contracts / blueprints drop? Did over 200 contracts, tons of maps and never seen one of these so far

noble junco
#

welp

#

tbh i dont know why should i do grand heist

still mural
#

I'm pretty sure it's random and mansion just has a low droprate

noble junco
#

always get shit curios

eager terrace
#

mansion is definitely bugged

#

they'll basically stop dropping once you get out of story acts

rapid shell
#

Really?!

spice cipher
#

not for me

rapid shell
#

Reddit and friends said it's the only / most profitable grand heist to run

eager terrace
#

I dunno about the grand heist version

#

but the regular contracts for mansion are not dropping normally

rigid stream
#

Why would mansion be the only profitable

noble junco
#

true, i dont have any mansion heist >70

#

consider im llike level 91

rapid shell
#

im 93

eager terrace
#

there's nothing special about them

#

something is just wrong with their drop rate

#

higher level ones do exist so I'm not sure exactly what the issue is

#

like if you search area level 69 and up

#

you'll get over 10k results on laboratory

#

and ~760 for mansion in trade league

rigid stream
#

Maybe its Just treated as low lvl base

Is there a cheat sheet for best items for allies? I can't even tell which of these people are melee or not

#

when you do a grand heist do you get to do all three rooms?

leaden river
#

So where do you get the trinkets?

compact elm
#

can I leaVE a Grand Heist to put in stash now, or that instance bug still eating portals?

distant osprey
#

can you still not safely leave grand heists without l osing your portal?

#

or is that fixed now?

little crow
#

you lose it

#

i took an early escape and lost my other two paths, what a quality league

#

not that the other two paths would have given me anything worth a damn it seems

compact elm
#

hmm, wonder how those massive teams of people were farming grand heists then....

#

maybe they were swapping items to stack on teammates? the currencies

little crow
#

heist seems like a massive waste of time

#

i havent gotten a reward worth anything so far

zealous gale
#

this is a demoralizing league

#

;-;

velvet palm
#

it do be like that

pliant sapphire
#

Heists are OK for currency

#

But still probably better off just mapping

jaunty mica
#

can someone tell me how I can get points to reveal wings in a blueprint?

fierce plank
#

when this game will be fixed these "an unexpected errors" are getting on many nerves lately

#

is there a way to play league mechanic and not hiit by disconnect ? what should I do ? is there something like - pre quest or ?

cursive widget
#

heists are GREAT for currency lol

#

especially grand heists

#

id argue heist is probably the most rewarding league yet

#

except maybe delirium of course

spice stone
#

It can be quite the moneymaker. I think I’m around 10 or 12 raw ex so far from it

#

There’s a lot of garbage in there too though, takes a bit to get into it.

cunning blade
#

@jaunty mica you do contracts with the members like gianna

#

each contract done with them gives u one blueprint reveal i think

violet nymph
#

real quick question cuz im sure its been asked a million times
doom gives 1% curse effect up to a base cap of 30 stacks, yeah?
does blasphemy count as self casting
does bane count as self casting

midnight phoenix
#

no and no

sterile fulcrum
#

I have yet to see any difference from heists and grand heists except the end item

#

And that you normally can’t get all reward chests from grand heists

midnight phoenix
#

na u can

sterile fulcrum
#

and that they cost like 8k coins.

midnight phoenix
#

the thing to understand in grand heists is that u get to stack 3 rogues instead of 1

#

with all the rogue items and bonuses

#

so u either stack alert reduction down to some super low number

sterile fulcrum
#

yeah sometimes they don’t line up like you need em to

midnight phoenix
#

or stack time before alert up to some super high number

#

theres pretty much always some combination of rogues and items that lets u get all the big chests and most of the little ones

sterile fulcrum
#

Do you change your items often ?

midnight phoenix
#

yes

sterile fulcrum
#

o

midnight phoenix
#

well not OFTEN often

#

but i do check before every grand heist whether each wing comp makes sense

sterile fulcrum
#

ah okay thanks for that tip

midnight phoenix
#

good items really help as well

#

with reduced alert level or flat +seconds before lockdown

nimble fiber
#

is there a reason why when I went to my grand ehist my alert just randomly increased by 40% while running

cursive widget
#

found my first astrolabe amulet

rocky nebula
#

Nice

#

Now make something stupid

#

lmao its gonna take so much currency to make something good with that

rocky nebula
#

Nah just use gem fossils

gem fossils?

violet nymph

#

and crashed another heist...if they dont fix the crashes then they need to mechanically change it so we atleast keep the heist/loot...

bold basalt
#

holy shit i actually got mansion contract

#

never seen that

midnight phoenix
#

@nimble fiber perception grand heists have little totems that activate when ur team gets close and spam a alert increasing skill

#

either kill them or zoom past them, theyre always in one particular kind of room

twin fjord
#

It's so stupid they didn't give you a way to search for the skill in this UI

midnight phoenix
#

if u hang around in that kind of room opening chests and whatever u get a shitton of alert

tight bolt
#

I have a question, for heists with stuff like blight and delirium and what not, can you get the league specific uniques from chests as well as the other odds and ends?

nimble fiber
#

ah okay thanks

cobalt falcon
#

Is there any tricks to know what the reward grand heist?

#

Searching for replica reward, not alt or bases

violet nymph
#

it will specifically say replica uniques at the top

Who was the last one you got if you don't know

thick tiger
#

nenet

#

nenet, isla, then the 3 down the left side

#

that’s it

#

i’m missing over half of the npcs

somber wigeon
#

Try taking Huck on a lab contract. Idk why, but it's a somewhat common problem

thick tiger
#

kinda hard to take Huck when i donthave him

somber wigeon
#

Oh, I think I got Huck when I was on a Tibbs contract.

thick tiger
#

i got Isla on Karst, Tullina on TIbbs, Nenet on Tullinas

somber wigeon
#

I'm fairly sure I started with Isla.

#

This says Karst unlocks Huck

thick tiger
#

okay, ill run differnt karst missions till i get huck then

somber wigeon
#

Yeah, I just unlocked two characters in a row. It looks like you just keep running the last one you got to unlock all of them.

thick tiger
#

turns out i didnt run karst on perception yet, and thats how i got huck

#

@twin fjord theres a search function.....

still mural
#

initially it didn't work super well; it only searched the current tab you were showing. but now it works like searching a maps tab, where it'll highlight tabs that contain results

#

but yeah, you can totally search by skill

split nexus
#

Greetings folks, i'm a little late and haven't really played in a few seasons. have any of the typical starter builds from the likes of Ziz or .... anyone else still making media actually viable now that the season has been out for a while?

I would prefer to pick a build that can go all the way to end game. historically there have been starters for new skills that fell flat. Just wondering what the correct state is.

still mural
#

I believe one of the steel skills (lancing? not sure) is decent to good, flame wall is good, and the rest of the new skills are mediocre, as far as league starters go (hexblast ignite can be good once you invest into it, but it's not all that friendly a starter)

#

you can check out #build-guides for some suggestions from league start

split nexus
#

will do

still mural
#

for the heist mechanic in particular, you want a way to boost your movement speed or a good movement skill to speed up running around, especially a movement skill that doesn't deal damage, and you want a way to deal with mobs crowded in a doorway you have to get through - something like (for example) Caustic Arrow that you can fire through and let it thin the crowd while you duck to the side, or a source of phasing or longer/multi-charge travel skill (most that can go through enemies work for this) to just run past them, or void sphere to pull mobs through to kill them on this side of the door, or decoy totem... there's a lot of options, but you need something along those lines

#

melee builds have struggled with the league mechanic, I believe, unless they're especially tanky

split nexus
#

i always end up quitting a season once i feel like i need a different character. the prospect of going through 10 acts again is painful

kindred dragon
#

you should have levelling gears tho, so it'll make it a lot more enjoyable

#

I am a 1 build per league type of person as well, but I picked a pretty bad build this league!

still mural
#

personally I've been playing TR/CA trickster and it's been solid, as usual

split nexus
#

i think i also pick a bad build. so that's why im trying to get an idea of what has been relatively proven so far.

kindred dragon
#

which build did you pick, and what's your play style?

split nexus
#

i think the most fun i have had in this game ever was when i played spectral throw a while ago. then the poets pen build was awesome

#

i have not started the season yet.

#

looking for recommendations that are not conceptual like most of the pre season streamer builds

valid mist
#

I'm doing a Red Trail Slayer Flicker build w/ Kitava's Thirst at the moment, feels pretty good. Only doing t10s but it's very fast and pretty safe. Should scale up decently too.

#

Respecced from Champion Terminus Est at uber lab completion.

split nexus
#

i dont think i have done flicker in a couple of years. could be fun

kindred dragon
#

I am doing a trickster divine ire + discharge build. I didn't read the description of swift killer properly.

valid mist
#

Biggest investment was the Kitava's Thirst as a 5l6s for 45c. Rest of gear is like 1c rares.

split nexus
#

anything new this season thats performing really well?

kindred dragon
#

IMO, the best saving grace for me was playing in SSF. I am forced to make use of what's available, so the build has been quite a nice learning curve.

valid mist
#

TE Champ clears fine but bosses are a bit iffy, at least the version I had. Running pure phys w/ impale scale.

#

It actually does more theoretical DPS but the frenzy charges are unreliable.

split nexus
#

thats exactly what i do every season. i pick a toon thats fast. i like fast. but then i get ot a point where i cant kill end game bosses. i can typically get to shaper and then i think to make a toon for boss killing. then half way through leveling it. i loose interest and quit playing

#

so i need a build. it doesnt need to be "starter" i can make it work

valid mist
#

This may be shaper capable. Is 2mil DPS still the standard benchmark?

split nexus
#

ive only killed shaper a couple of times so i dont know.

#

last time i got to elder and killed him.

still mural
#

oh, if you haven't played in a while, you might not know: the atlas has changed again

split nexus
#

uhh... when did that new boss from the orbs from the atlas come out? That guy stomped me

still mural
#

you'll want to look up a guide for how to progress it now

#

ah, yeah, Sirus

valid mist
#

Yeah I came back from not playing since Synth

#

I dislike the new Atlas story wise

still mural
#

then you've done the new atlas; ignore me 😄

valid mist
#

Shaper and Elder were soooooo much more interesting

#

I don't mind the orbs even if they're kinda janky.

marsh monolith
#

I like the new system better. More predictable

valid mist
#

But I really dislike the narrative change. It's also way, way too fucking meta.

#

And again, just a lot less interesting to me.

split nexus
#

im happy to be able to maintain late tier maps with the new system

valid mist
#

I miss the Shaper's badass voice t-t

marsh monolith

He's still out there.

just less often

kindred dragon
#

before, the shaper/elder gears were everywhere. Nowaday, it so scarce

split nexus
#

ok. so PE Champ has been recommended. something about steel was mentioned.

valid mist
#

New conquerer stuff has some ridiculous mods

somber wigeon
#

What triggers the barber to reset his inventory?

valid mist
#

Shaper/Elder did too I guess

marsh monolith
#

I haven't tried them but people were dumping all over the new steel skills on reddit.

I missed the conquerer of the atlas, metamorph, blight and the smokey league. So lots to catch up on when going back lol...

I missed errything after Blight

Sorry, Synthesos

So have a whole lot of mew mechanics to play ar I around with

And jesus christ the powercreep lol

unique orbit
#

Did I miss another heist change? Some reason in my last grand heist the alert bar went up past half without even opening a chest

marsh monolith
#

There are totems that will spot you and raise it, if you missed killing it fast.

valid mist
#

Actually not possible to avoid them

#

Not spotted till you're in their range

unique orbit

#

Ah ok. So perception heists kinda suck then lol

valid mist
#

So basically perception contracts are shit I guess, lol

still mural
#

perception heists (including grand heists) will have alert totems (different names depending on tileset)

#

perception contracts are the only ones that give prophecies, though, which are awesome

#

there's a distinctive look to the map/minimap layout for the bits with the totems; once you learn that you can spot them ahead of time

#

unfortunately there's not much counterplay to them rn; you can't harm them until your npc goes and does a thing to make them targetable, and even then they take forever to die, so IMO best option is just to run past as quick as you can and try not to backtrack through that area

unique orbit

im playing as braindead of a build as i can this league so ill probably just avoid perception maps for now lol

it's just something to remember when you do go into perception heists

yeah, it still works

gentle kayak
#

ok cool t y

#

also, running my first grand heist, im assuming it has same mechanics as the heist contracts? (i.e. raise alert level by opening stuff. hit the final target and find extraction point)?

#

question 2: can I dump my inventory at "extraction point"?

still mural
#

Yes, each wing is like its own heist, but the target item instead of being just for markers, is the reward the blueprint specifies

#

there's not a stash at the extraction point, if that's what you mean

gentle kayak
#

won't my inventory become swollen?

still mural
#

yep 🙃

gentle kayak
#

so i cant dump it anywhere?

#

or "save" it

still mural
#

we're supposed to be able to leave, access the stash, and re-enter, but currently it's buggy and sends you to another harbor instance, and it's difficult to get back to the instance with your portal

gentle kayak
#

wtf ggg...

still mural
#

they're working on it

gentle kayak
#

ok

#

thx. so ur advice to me as a noob? just play through the whole thing and not touch any portals/stashes?

still mural
#

personally, I'm saving them for when they fix that + some other issues

#

I would definitely run one with the trinket/currency type to get a trinket, though

#

since that boosts your contract heists

#

but if you run them, yeah, I wouldn't try to leave & come back; run them like a couple normal heists in a row that you don't get to stash between. can pick stuff up from one wing and decide what to keep and what to drop before starting the next wing. I'm not sure how reliably you get to go back to the extraction point "lobby" so I wouldn't count on being able to pick stuff you drop there back up later.

#

don't feel like you have to reveal all the reward rooms; just get the good ones. and don't bother revealing additional exits if they aren't significantly closer to the target room than the default one.

gentle kayak
#

Cool. Great info, great advice. Thanks.

still mural
#

Yep! that'll have a statue to unlock your trinket slot, and two or three trinkets to choose from, in the final room

#

of each wing, if you reveal the other wings

still mural
#

for the record, I scienced a bit: ran two contracts with Nenet (while she was level 3 in perception): both contracts the same zone level, one required perception lvl 1, other required perception lvl 3. both white, no mods. both gave her the same XP. so job xp is not based at all on the required job lvl; just on zone level. (and potentially mods; didn't check that.)

#

Are grand heists safe to run yet or are the round reward doors still bugged?

cursive widget
#

ive been running them, but after each heist within the grand heist, I take all my loot out and put it on the ground and go into the next one, then if there is too much loot, I just pick the most valuable loot out of the total and then exit because you cant get back in afterwards

Thats Not entirely true

ive tried twice to go back to the harbor to stash my loot and twice I havent been able to get back in, so im not risking it

You will be missplaced into a different instance if you Play on a large Gateway, you can find it Back by leaving and reentering the harbor

yeah but who knows how many instances are running in a gateway

also if you are in the heist for over 15 minutes, your instance is gone

is there a list what items are best for which rogue?

which chests does vinderi double, the small ones, or the big ones?

I still seem to get fairly frequent crsahes when I exit a heist (regular contract) - maybe 1 time in 10 or so? Is that the general experience?

rigid stream
#

no

#

only for some poeple

still mural
#

hm, his perk just says "heist chests," so it may be all of them. "reward chests" is specifically the big ones.

#

there's no effect to indicate when it's been doubled, though. and idk if it's that it then drops 2 of everything, or if it rolls another set of drops.

#

@strong mesa not really. in general, +%lockdown time and +flat lockdown time are the best mods. for their brooch, you ideally want them to duplicate one or more of the reward chests they can actually open, so you'd look at the list of which jobs have which rewards. for the combat items, Karst/Nenet/Isla use projectiles, Niles/Gianna use magic, and Huck/Tibbs/Vinderi/Tullina use melee, but also keep in mind that the different combat types can roll different auras, so you may want to ignore the intrinsic and focus on which auras you want.

strong mesa
#

Thanks 🙂

still mural
#

Vinderi also benefits from reduced alert level, since he inherently increases alert level

#

and I guess Tullina would benefit a bit more than the others from the +target item marker value mod

Grand heists reward special bases, replica uniques, or alternate quality skill gems. Honestly this could be one of the best leagues with some of the most interesting stuff if it wasn't so fucking buggy.

Since you're saying you're new I'm guessing your build is also probably a tad lacking

#

Direct levels aren't the biggest indicator of power.

twin fjord

Yes to rip is to die, RIP. If you're new do you have maximum resistances (76%+) and are you following a guide or making your own build? There are also several ground mechanics that can be dodged.

valid mist

And Heist mobs are some of the strongest in the game at the moment

You can also easily get killed by mobs 20 lvls below you, thats not uncommon^^

they will stand in formation and shoot 20 attacks at you

Try using Withering Step.

#

It's really good for your situation, because it grants you attack/spell dodge, phasing, and makes enemies take additional chaos damage

Yes, withering step is amazing. If you use it, casting any ability will cancel it so keep that in mind. It took me a bit to get used to at first because I kept canceling it early.

Siphoning Trap and Vitality to help with survivability
Essense Drain + Contagion + Void Manipulation Support to help heal
everything else is just meh stuff, most of my armor buffs max health and max mana

rigid stream
#

dont use infernal legion on Hoag, thats a waste. Also you are mixing two playstyles. I would reccomend to use either ED/contgaion or Hoag/Cobralash

#

because while they are both chaos dots, they scale sort of differently

mild nacelle

I dont have too many other options, its just what fit in the slots i had, i only just hit act 3

As poisons scale with weapons and edcontagion with spell dmgs

Not all poisons scale with weapons… (Poison BV gang checking in.)

so i should focus on gems that deal direct poison instead of chaos?

there is no such thing as poison dmg

poison is the ailment that deals chaos dmg over time.

just like sarscov2 and covid19

mild nacelle

so chaos is a damage, while poison is the ailment that causes chaos damage?

#

yes

barren crescent
#

yes. There are 3(4) main categories of dmg types.
Physical
Elemental(fire/Cold/Lightning)
Chaos
(Reflect, we ignoring this)

#

all of your things will end up dealing at least 1 of those categories of dmg

#

Poison ailment, will always be dealing chaos dmg.

mild nacelle
#

@rigid stream why not use Infernal Legion on Hoag? it doesnt drain its health, so i thought "free fire damage"

rigid stream
#

yes thats correct

#

however, it increases reservation quite a bit

#

and you cannot scale infernal legion that well

mild nacelle
#

reservation?

rigid stream
#

so its not very optimal to use that support

Hoag blocks a part of your mana

thats called reservation

#

@sharp iron observer totems spawn in specific rooms in perception heists (you can identify them on the map overlay from the layout if you're paying attention). the totems can't be targeted until your rogue does an animation to make them targetable. they raise alert if you stand near them. the ways to deal with them currently are either to try to kill them from a distance, or very quickly, which is difficult because your rogue may not reveal them & they're quite tanky; or to just run past them as fast as you can, which is far easier and kinda lame.

yeah, but if I'm crafting for right now, I wouldn't be slamming a brooch that didn't already have that mod

altspam to get that mod + another semi-decent one (or just any other one if I'm lazy/short on currency), then regal, then potentially slam

#

but since they're changing it (and I really appreciate the heads up they gave us on that), not worth spending the slam

verbal crest
#

but you cant even find tier 1 duplicate currency and tier 1 quality on the same brooch. Tier 1 quant is less than .9% weighting and tier 1 duplicate currency is .8%

#

so hitting lockdown increase or quant would just make it a god tier brooch

#

my goal is to have a full set of gear maximizing currency gains and reduced alert from opening chests because I have a regal -> exalt trinket so I just want to spam as much currency as I can

#

impossible to find good rolls of reduced alert on chest opening and chance to not raise alert on chest opening on the same item

#

thats another big chase combo

#

and them upgrading my trinket to 4% to exalt will be....pricy

eager terrace
#

my current trinket is 2% regal to exalt, 4% transmute to chaos

#

I am not convinced the exalt one applies to chests

verbal crest
#

I mean

#

its impossible for me to tell for sure

#

but I have dropped multiple exalts from chests in heist

#

so it could be me being lucky

#

or it could be proof it works

eager terrace
#

I have 1 exalt from ~100 contracts since getting mine

verbal crest
#

impossible to tell for sure

eager terrace
#

which produced something like 250 regals

verbal crest
#

I mean, if it didnt work with chests what would be the point of it?

eager terrace
#

dunno if it’s meant to and just doesn’t

#

but given the amount of regals it’s kinda unlikely I went 1/5th or so the average and also got 0 natural exalt drops in that span

#

the alternative is that having both on the same trinket is bugged

#

like if one happens the other can’t

#

but it’s harder for me to guess the rate of natural chaos

verbal crest
#

well I will say this

#

mine has "chance for things to drop identified"

versed roost
#

Can I still open chests and get the final item in a heist if I max out the alert level?

verbal crest
#

and I KNOW for sure things are getting dropped identified from chests

void wing
#

What's the % on that?

verbal crest
#

so I think that shows that it SHOULD work on things dropped from chests

eager terrace
#

yeah I agree

verbal crest
#

@versed roost yes there is a timer after you trigger the alarm and each chest you open after the alarm sounds will decrease the timer by 1 second

eager terrace
#

I wonder if two affixes can proc on the same event

versed roost
#

alright ty

verbal crest
#

@void wing 7%

void wing
eager terrace
#

because if not it would explain this trinkets returns

void wing
#

Really GGG?

#

7% for identified?

verbal crest
#

yes

#

also

#

WTF

#

this one contract dropped all 3 of these

violet nymph
#

So is it true that contracts and blueprints steal the roll of a normal map drop, and why I can't oversustain white maps on a 154/154 , A7 Atlas with my target map 3x favourited?

uneven mason
#

No idea, but I'm definitely having troubles sustaining my map pool with my usual atlas strategy

copper kernel
#

unless you have some proof that contracts eat your map drops

#

they dont

verbal crest
#

I have pictorial proof

rigid stream
#

I also have Proof that wisdom Scrolls eat my exalt Drops

#

I have 500 wisdom scroll.drops per map but 0 exalts

violet nymph
#

@copper kernel It's speculation, but very very believable. What else can explain me doing 20x 110+ quant T3 Cemeteries juiced up and getting back 4 Cemeteries and 4 Academies, but 35 or so contracts? On a 154/154 atlas with A7, and Cemetery being 3x favourited. lol

#

Like it has to be a joke

#

They are forcing you to run those heists! Stay away from maps!

Starting to hate Heist than Harvest

No enchanted armors?

Enchanted armor and wand but the mod are bad like wand with add damage (not to spell) and res
Armor with no blue enchanted

Not a single replicas

Grand heist tells you what the potential rewards are shrugR

You can also Swap the enchants with the tailoring orbs

#

necroscientists are doing a huge amount of damage to me, even when they are on low level hiests

violet nymph
#

any of the heist reward room/chest can drop Divine Vessel? got 3 char to 85, 1 to 92 and only one divine vessel drop btw them

still mural
#

I've definitely gotten one, but it was as one of the, like, misc rewards that drop alongside the chest type rewards? I forget what type it was; I remember thinking it definitely didn't fit with the chest type.

#

if it were included in a normal chest reward category, I'd assume fragments or maps

violet nymph
#

yea, I assumed that It was one or the other of those two since it was a fragment ,so I been spamming lockpick and engineering. But it hasn't drop at all

still mural
#

still gonna be rare, sadly

sour mountain
#

i wonder if enchant orbs imply that they will add enchant orbs to replace labchants

eager terrace
#

the necroscientists have a very OP attack

#

probably the most dangerous mob in heist atm

coral garden
#

What do they do

#

Green zapps?

runic thistle
#

do you guys kill everything on the way out of the heist?

still mural
#

kinda hard when it continues spawning infinitely

copper kernel
#

usually enough to keep my flasks up

still mural
#

how much I kill depends how I'm feeling, tbh; as long as it's not too dangerous, I do try to take down any uniques, since their drops are pretty decent

pseudo hull
#

how do we get the unique contracts?

copper kernel
#

i found one in those smuggler stashes

pseudo hull
#

so rng?

copper kernel
#

ye

pseudo hull
#

are there infinite green contracts?

still mural
#

there are 15

copper kernel
#

no

#

should be a few more now

#

when the patch goes live

still mural
#

well, there's 15 in the quest contract challenge, at least

hardy sail
#

can I leave grand heist and re-enter?

#

too much loot

velvet palm
#

not yet lul

hardy sail
#

seriously? how are we supposed to carry everything

#

i can barely carry all currency alone

velvet palm
#

yes

hardy sail
#

wtf is this league

still mural
#

You can, but you likely will be sent to a different harbor instance than the one your portal is in

#

if you're in a small league, like a private league or ssf hc, you can pretty safely exit and return; might need to try a few different harbor instances if you're unlucky, but shouldn't take much

#

otherwise, I wouldn't recommend leaving.

void wing
#

wtf is this league
A buggy mess.

hardy sail
#

wow

#

what a waste

#

you can't even ctrl click rogue harbor portal?

copper kernel
#

i hope youre restacking the currency you get

#

cause they dont by default

spice cipher
#

pls god ggg fix that shit ^

still mural
#

no, because you don't have a waypoint or the like in; you have a portal. can't right-click choose instance for portals; they take you to a specific instance. so you just have to leave to your hideout, use another coin to spawn a new portal to go through, and see if it's your instance. @hardy sail

hardy sail
#

@copper kernel yea did that, but I get a lot of jewels I can't carry, had to throw away 6s etc, had too many scarabs so threw away fragments (cheaper stuff but still dumb)

#

such a waste of currency, I spent so many coins to unlock the wings too, I guess you aren't supposed to unlock wings until they fix it?

spice cipher
#

between wings you can ID shit

#

so anything needing ID'ed do so between wings

#

dont pick up smol currencies like transmutes and shit, waste of space

hardy sail
#

I didn't know so I didnt bring scrolls

#

I used as many as I found but didnt get enough

#

😦

#

why dont they put a stash in the in between wings area

#

wouldnt that solve the issue ggg please

spice cipher
#

nah just need to be able to dump between wings

#

they wont add a stash there

hardy sail
#

I don't get why not if they can't fix the rogue harbor instance issue

#

seems like a nice work around

still mural
#

eh, they're working on it.

spice cipher
#

cause they just dont do that

#

didnt they just add a chest somewhere?

hardy sail
#

I mean I get it, just frustrating its over a week out and they haven't fixed basic issues. at least most of the crashes are fixed I guess

still mural
#

well, to be fair, they did fix the instance issue. but it caused another worse issue (folks couldn't leave their grand heist if their harbor instance was full), so they reverted it while they work on it more.

quasi fulcrum
#

Is there any information on the Necroscientists? I know their projectiles are lethal, I dont know if they are spells or attacks though

#

scrap the necroscientist, crashing is #1 dangerous enemy of heist

quaint shadow
#

which heist type has the "Head Enforcer" enemy type?

still mural
#

necroscientists deal chaos damage, senior necroscientists deal phys & chaos, according to their poedb entries @quasi fulcrum ( can link you to those entries if you like)

#

@quaint shadow Templar/military layouts, so Bunker & Records Office, and I forget if Mansion is as well?

quasi fulcrum
#

Do you have the link @still mural ? Makes sense too as my chaos res is bad, so I should work on that. I'm just curious if they are spells or attacks

covert maple
#

seems like an easy bandaid to just add a stash to the entrance

still mural
#

pretty sure they're spells

quasi fulcrum
#

also explains why I never evade them 😄

thanks!

I think these guys are responsible for most of my 1 shots

violet nymph

Wind dancer + fortify + 40% spell dodge, never got hurt by those guys really

#

I also just kind of dash past everything lol

#

My build has a ton of movespeed as well so i don't really die ever

#

Even with 4k life lul

still mural
#

generally my deaths happen when I'm trying to decide what to drop to pick up another item when my inventory is full, or getting involved with chat 😅

violet nymph
#

Oh yeah and stone stance is also some less damage

#

Lol

#

I think the character has like 7 deaths total, that are all from acts

eternal eagle
#

I'm done with heists

twin fjord
#

wtf what that

still mural
#

well, they are traps

eternal eagle
#

they magically rearmed after i opened chest

#

that shouldn't happen

still mural
#

they didn't rearm. they armed. they weren't armed before.

rigid stream
#

no they arm when the alarm triggers

#

thats your own fault

#

traps, once disarmed, wont rearm

still mural
#

you'll have some hallways that are armed when you come in, and you detonate those with Isla before moving through them. and then there are some hallways that are not armed during entry, and arm when you trigger the alarm.

eternal eagle
#

they were disarmed

rigid stream
#

no

#

they were not

#

with a 999% chance

still mural
#

this is true for traps, counter-thaumaturgy, and agility

rigid stream
#

some trap corridors are armed and some are dormant

eternal eagle
#

i had the map open

rigid stream
#

and the dormant ones will arm when the alarm triggers

still mural
#

you can safely avoid this if you avoid those heist types

eternal eagle
#

u see them symbol for disarm reappear after alarm goes off....

rigid stream
#

they were not dissarmed

#

they blow up and disappear if you disarm them

eternal eagle
#

yes they were i walked over them before alarm

still mural
#

read what I said above

rigid stream
#

disarmed=/= not active

still mural
#

they were not disarmed. they were not yet active.

rigid stream
#

its like in Indiana jones when he pulls the idol

#

the trap will go off if you trigger the thing

#

your own greed killed you

eternal eagle
#

i disarmed them to go past that room its just not in the video

rigid stream
#

no you didnt

#

you disarmed other traps

still mural
#

when those trap hallways are disarmed, they don't just disarm; they detonate. they were clearly not detonated, as you can see when you enter the hallway; they're intact, just not active.

rigid stream
#

there are are a lot of bugs, but this is not one of them

still mural
#

like we've said, some hallways are active when you enter, and some don't activate until you trigger the alarm. this was the latter. so yes, the rogue job icon pops up, because it activated when you triggered the alarm. but this specific hallway was not one you had detonated earlier

eternal eagle
#

regardless i wont be doing any more heists f this shit

twin fjord
#

So are regular heists worth rolling? I've been alching mine, but it hardly seems worth it given the added dangers.

still mural
#

again, you can easily avoid it by not doing the traps type of heists.

rigid stream
#

or

#

by not standing on top of traps while triggering the alarm

still mural
#

no, IMO @twin fjord

#

I sometimes make em blue, but I don't make em yellow

rigid stream
#

yes its worth it. up to 35%? less alert gained and increased lockdown timer

#

so you can acess more loot

still mural
#

I get enough to open everything easily enough with just rogue gear, and the added mods can make them significantly more dangerous

rigid stream
#

depends on how long it is and who you take

#

whith vinderi you want as much reduction as you can get

still mural
#

I don't have trouble with anything other than perception, and even then only sometimes, depending where & how many totems are there. even with vinderi gear is plenty; might miss a handful of small chests, but I'm happy to do that in exchange for more safety

#

if you do put mods on, mind, make sure you don't get the "lockdown is instant" mod!

twin fjord
#

Yes that one is the only one I have been rolling off of... Well after I ripped to a +350 crit one I may roll off those as well 😉

formal delta
#

I alch all mine for the quant/rarity, havnt had a rip during the escape since the damage nerf. Only time I rip is not paying attention during grand heists and running up to a trap disarm chest. Quartz flask for phasing + stacking a bit of movespeed + even a moderate amount of defensive layers trivializes the lockdown phase

hardy sail
#

quant+rarity doesn't affect chests

#

assume it is same for heist?

#

similar to blight

formal delta
#

Welp

hardy sail
#

would affect mob drops

twin fjord
#

I have been trying to rely on Withering Step, but I may have to swap a flask out for another phasing one as I keep canceling withering because I'm a spaz.

hardy sail
#

blight it affects the pump drops

#

that's why most run blight with lucky chests and white

formal delta
#

Yeh, very little point alching blights but at a certain point i do it anyway because why not

#

Ive had a doctor drop from a burial chambers pump splosion back in deli league

#

Guess its the same for heist, very little point in doing it but I can so I do 💁

hardy sail
#

yea fair enough - i just chance em

still mural
#

I also run blighted maps magic, personally

formal delta
#

I honestly just assumed quant/rarity affected heist chests since its on half the rogue gear, but yeah every other chest in the game isnt affected so I guess heist chests probably arent

hardy sail
#

I haven't done an analysis, just assuming

signal swan
#

Heists rolls alert reduction with mods though, that's what you want

hardy sail
#

I always get all chests

#

so never saw a point

#

maybe im wrong

formal delta
#

Tru, i cba to roll my rogue gear for lockdown timer and hate backtracking so the alert reduction helps a bit for me

signal swan
#

Still avoid rippy mods like -max res, it hits too damn hard otherwise

hardy sail
#

heist is weird mechanic tho - I've found more ex through shards than raw drops lmao

signal swan
#

Somehow I got even more raw currency through heist than most other league starts, and I only hit maps after the small chest nerf

#

The delirium orbs and stuff adds up.

modest yoke
#

Only issue I have with heist, althought they change it on daily basis lol 🙂 .
They bring ingame "900 new gems" and I didnt saw a single one till now. With prices 4ex+ , so much for starter builds ..

signal swan
#

I wouldn't ever choose a starter build with items of unknown drop rates to begin with

#

Most of them are kinda cheap sidegrades anyway

hardy sail
#

some of them are quite different

#

been playing with different builds

signal swan
#

Yeah

modest yoke
#

I personally think this is most 'wrong' thing on whole league, at least i thought this will be most fun part to play with builds.

signal swan
#

The expensive ones are few and far between, and define a whole build, not a sidegrade

hardy sail
#

which are expensive?

#

if more than an ex just make one

modest yoke
#

archer skeletons , and vaal version didnt even saw on market

hardy sail
#

summon skelly?

signal swan
#

Plaguebearer, for divine flesh chaos damage reduction

modest yoke
#

cold void sphere

signal swan
#

I saw a few others, but not sure what they did

hardy sail
#

plague bearer only ~40c

#

for divergent

#

less for anomalous

modest yoke
#

thats just tip of iceberg, I mean its 900 of them, its like you did not have npc to sell cassual gems

#

you cant just try 20 of them to see ooh this one is good

signal swan
#

Actually uh
Since I can't check what the quality actually does on poe.ninja, I'm not sure why they're expensive

hardy sail
#

expensive because ppl aren't running heists cuz they suck

signal swan
#

Toxic rain, blade vortex, determination, not sure why

hardy sail
#

you can buy, try and resell always

signal swan
#

It'll likely drop when people start doing more grand heists

#

They're nowhere as rare as woke gems

modest yoke
#

I went like 35x heist it took a lot of time, and was ok at start to get 3c per heist, good for start, but other than that mm, but this is highli subjective maybe later it get much better.

signal swan
#

Heists don't seem very consistent in returns

#

Actually more grand heists

#

Sometimes it's crap, sometimes you get a trinket with all good T1 mods

#

_> though I didn't really experience most of the crashes and bugs people reported, so I ran them more often

modest yoke
#

I dont even mention that went 35 heists and another 20 which just crashed

signal swan
#

Found that as long as you find a way to bring Karst along, you can open all reward chests.

#

I had one crash at the start of the league, and had no more heist crashes.
It was mostly town crashes.

modest yoke
#

I mostly crashed in party inside

twin fjord
#

What is the BV alternate one people like, the leech?

#

45c for extra blade, 1 ex for more dmg with <5 blades, 20 ex for leech.

#

Hardly worth it for poison BV I'd think

queen carbon
#

how do you unlock the new people?? i dont understand 😦

#

i just got Nanett

copper kernel
#

run more contracts with the ones you have

signal swan
#

There's that chart somewhere
Every new one unlocks the next, and there are three chains. Nenet is the last of one of the chain.

#

Maybe use the heisters you haven't used yet?

queen carbon
#

ahh i wasnt aware she was end of the chain

#

thanks

warped dagger
#

they should fix that damn gianna, she always stays behind and i need to backtrack to get the bitch back

get off her back, you think its easy changing outfits 4-5 times a heist?
