yeah, the amount of doors is prob biggest factor which is why i dont run heists much atm, rather do delirium mirrors/maps atm
The funny thing is if the doors didn't exist, or were fewer, there would also be less bugs
If you do an agility contract and get 3 doors in and 3 doors out that's up to a minute of literally standing, waiting, doing fuck all.
does the 5% on not activate lockdown work yet?
What is so priceless in Golden Slave Idol?
someone at GGG thought so. 
its made out of pure gold
are there any desirable heist enchanted bases to watch out for?
basically just looking for items that actually roll well at the end of those grand heists, or 6 sockets?
oh
these are what I am talking about
3 t1-2 ele res and t2 chaos res
it was amazing
ohh
eh no not really i guess
unless they are good crafting bases already I don't think they will be that valuable as bases
can they be influenced?
no idea
like increased phys modifiers on like a jeweled foil seems like a decent base
yea
unless they are good crafting bases already I don't think they will be that valuable as bases
^
lol
i kinda wanted to take it for the memes. It was a weapon with literally 0 sockets
anything else to compensate?
cuz there was that amulet base with -1 prefix -1 suffix and looked like shit
increased mana attributes lol
How exactly does deception work?
Ok so i know that you need a total of >161 dex across 3 rings to make an onslaught ring in synthesis league, but does that mean rings have to be >ilv82 (t1 dex) to be able to drop with onslaught from heist chests?
If she's convincing people to open a door but they want to kill you the moment the door opens
hmmm
i got 1 shotted by a blue mob in i83 heist
no damage mods on map, just "extra damage" on him
Anyone ever found anything worthwhile in the Unique reward rooms?
is agility still broken or is it just tullina?
Neither
I've been running contracts endlessly for 2 days and sometimes they get stuck in corners or vinderi gets stuck in his demolition loop, but u can just chain them away and reset and theyll do it right
I also did multiple GH's with Tullina with no issues
Gotcha, thanks
How necessary is it to alch contracts?
can I just transmute and aug?
or am i losing out? trying to avoid bad mods
how it works?
if i take karst and tull i stack their passives? or its better take only karst?
i mean stack less raising alert
they do not stack
so better to take only karst?
that's per wing right @devout osprey ?
yes
Does anyone know why the currency chest icon is sometimes small?
Ohj
They changed the gold chests to more accurately describe what could be in them
i cant believe how good my weapon is, yet i still cant 6l it x.X
almost up to 700 PDPS now that i managed to get high quality on it lol
are you in ssf?
nope
I feel that somewhere out there's someone with low chaos resistance that deliberately avoids doing any heists in the laboratory, or a Divine Flesh build that does all the Laboratory Heists they can do since they can essentially walk through the traps.
There is. My Golden Rule build basically ignores those traps 🙂
Ah, right. I forgot about those and thoughts it was just Divine Flesh builds that are basically impervious to Chaos damage.
what's CI
the chaos damage in lab is too all over the place
i can do about 20 of them without watching my HP dip at all
then i will get one shotted randomly
honestly, my current build is pure that though
30k armor, 30k evade, 5.2k life, perma fortify, capped all resists.
I do 99% of everything without a scratch then just explode randomly
yep lol
its annoying :p
is it best to open all the small chests other than currency? or is it always better to open large chests?
is there a consensus on the best way to roll contracts? alch and go, or something more nuanced? I'm wondering about risk vs reward.
I'm not noticing a huge difference in chest loot from running magic vs rare.
Quantity only applies to mob drops
I guess the balance then is between more deadly mods and more "max alive reinforcements" vs. more alert level reduction
and of course the ultimate balance of dying means you lose it all right?
i alch all of my contracts, the reduced alert raising is very noticeable
and blueprints ill roll to like 28+% reduced raising of alert
blueprints definitely, makes sense to maximize those
I guess it depends on the goal. If it's to always open all chests, then I can see wanting to have as much alert reductin as possible. Right now I'm just grinding out reveals, so I want to have decent returns but more or less guarantee I never brick one.
Plus I can just stack alert reduction on merc gear to help.
can always just chaos if it bricks
Oh, I meant brick as in me dying in it
yeah, thatll be really build dependent though
Sure. I'm not that good to just ignore map mods and juice everything to the max.
but the 25% alert level reduction from a typical alch is 30% or so more chests you can open, outside of lockdown shenanigans
Is that 25% more than a magic one, or just 25%-ish from alching?
if youve got a crew fully leveled/geared you can get away with less with crew like nenet/tullina/karst, but others youll need the alch to get most to all of the chests
compared to normal, magics often have 10-11% reduction which is about as much more chests
Yeah, that matches my experience. And sometimes even with just that, if I get a smallish map I can still get to all the chests without popping the lockdown timer
I'll probably care about this more once I'm at high level contracts; I'm only running high-70s right now
Hey guys and galls, Does any one know if smugglers caches are still around? Haven't found any in about 25 maps
They are, yeah. 10% chance to spawn, so going 25 maps without is definitely not unheard of.
fwiw I only transmute contracts
only really find blueprints worth rolling rare
but I also only really run lockpicks / deceptions
got a weird quest not sure how to finish it. It wants me to steal the curio case without setting off the alarm. How do you perform this?
Just poorly worded afaik.
"without setting off the alarm" just means "don't fill the alert bar & let the timer expire before getting the target item", basically
cause once time expires the case (and all chests) are locked down and can't be opened
can someone explain to me why in the 13/13 bp that everyone fractures for streamers they can open every big chest but i'm at full alert with only half of them?
are there specific items i need to give karst/vinderi to allow for that?
There are items that allow you to reduce the alert level. But idk what all they are only one i've seen is the torn cloak.
presumably they're running with specific item mods for -alert on chests, yeah
Do we know whats the spawn rate of Rogue Stash in maps? They feel really rare
10% apparently
Can I drop crystal belt from heist? if so what profession is better? Preception? I'm on SSF
Hey,the amount of markers i get for a heist is like 1k~ .for a grand heist i need like 25k~ to reveal the wings and most important reward rooms and escape rooms.so i at least have to do 25 heist to do a gradn heist....any tips?
crystal belt is a jewellery, not an armor
@indigo wolf It was Cutedog’s from yesterday. I ran the exact same blueprint and he could open every reward chest and I was at full alert halfway through
So it’s not legacy gear but maybe I need something else
Does character level affect it maybe? Maybe I need a +4 character level cloak for Karst?
anyone here capable of killing sirus?
Anyone got a cheat sheet for best items to set up the rogues with and best way to craft grand heists for best returns?
Or a guide in general
Basically if you want to split blueprints
You need a blueprint with vinderi in a lot of wings (4 wings), preferably with karst, nenet and/or tullina and all characters with reduced alert gear.
A lot of currency chests if you have the trinket
If you just want to run blueprints you have, get ruduced alert so you can open all chests.
Just craft the blueprint with a lot of increased quant
you also want +1 primary jobs on your rogues
at least the rogues that affect alert with their perks
cutedog doesn't open every small chest though in that blueprint
it's not needed since those chests do not ever change so you can skip the ones you know don't drop good stuff
so the short version is like CLOAK: alert reduction for chests, % chance to not generate alert opening chest, lockdown time, whatever else
JOB GEAR: +1 all jobs / primary job, % chance to not generate alert on X type chest, lockdown time, whatever else
WEAPON: lockdown time, whatever you want
BROOCH: chance to duplicate currency, quant, whatever you prefer
remember that weapons can give you added flat damage which can be slightly relevant if you run reflect
I've targeted job speed on weapons
question
is the reward type of grand heists random ?
or , does it depend on the map ?
i always get the fucking gems
arrow heads can also give you haste aura
you literally see the reward type at the item (bp)
@indigo wolf thx
Does alert level affect spawn rate when you steal the artifact and trigger a lockdown? The higher the alert level, the more intense the response on lockdown?
hello everyone, im starting to do atlas - do i need to complete all tier 1 maps or is it okay to skip tiers? will i miss any completion bonus if i do skip tiers?
you can jump around
the only thing you lose out on is map drop probability and percentage boosting for higher tier maps from mobs
You can always come back to those later
i just need to remove the watchstone to get back to it right?
yeah
thanks!
finally got a good heist trinket
regals -> exalt
+quantity
+chance for metamorph
+change for legion
is it even worth it to alch heist i cant really tell a difference in drops
how do you get your dudes to rank 5+? just gotta find the green quest things?
Can anybody tell if brooch is actually working?
I have t1 rolls everywhere and havent noticed a thing
Fixed a bug where Heist Brooch modifiers which could duplicate rewards were not functioning correctly.
@gloomy carbon

Yes, I'm aware of that, I'm saying I haven't noticed a difference with 3x15% rolls. So I'm questioning if anybody has actually been up to tell if it actually works? or how?
How do you find an Astrolabe Amulet?
Is there like a "Has experimental base types" blueprint type that has those as an option?
My league goal is to get an Astrolabe Amulet with one affix of every influence type, so I'm trying to decide whether buying one or trying to find one is the better way to go.
Alright
I don't know the exact odds of getting an influenced mod instead of a normal mod, but I estimated that the chance of getting that set of affixes to be about 1/500 for each reroll. Which might sound like a lot, but it doesn't have to be from chaos. Alchemy orbs and reasonators are also able to reroll a new set of affixes.
So it should be do-able.
I actually have 30 chaos right now so I could buy the base right now, or at least soon.
It'll be nice for me to actually complete the league goal I have planned for once.
wut
So what does the +1 to job level do exactly?
does what it says it does
A rogue's intrinsic perk scales with highest job level, this is the benefit of + job level.
@void wing so what does character level do then?
@eager terrace what does job level do over character level?
increasing primary job level increases the strength of their perk
Character level is as good as a dead stat.
gotcha
character level basically just makes them do more damage
if i run grand heist and open so many boxes that bar fills all - do i have time for lockdown as on normal heists?
You should, I think its even bit longer lockdown than normal heists
There is a mod tho that lockdown is instant when alert pops
so double check for that before you go for lockdown timer strats
of course
btw is there any guide for current challenges? like a nice guide
i've seen two guides
the other link is deleted. bot removed it
does anyone know if hits with bladestorm trigger Iron Mass for skellies?
weren't there some good Heist cheatsheets?
from what I can tell they have higher rates of dual chest rooms
Lockpick has the highest frequency of currency nodes from my experience
does alchemy orb on a contract do anything?
sure, turns it rare
@next epoch I mean, it gives more exp ? more drop rate or something?
Does anyone know why two currency rooms at the same price grade cost different amounts in a grand heist?
I have one that costs 1566 and another 1701
Unless it just falls in between two random numbers
Theorycraft that it predetermines the rewards and gives a price based on what it rolled
Yeah but with duplicate things, we know its have different reward content
Are the enchanted armaments blue print worth running?
it adds mods, and each mod gives +lockdown time/less alert level/more enemies during the escape. much like map mods give iiq/iir @runic thistle
cat even stands up, heist mechanics
Only reason I'm still doing heist is for cat
does anyone know what heist items have the +1 to level
specifically for perception
tryna get a lvl 4 to lvl 5 so i can do a heist
Hey does anyone know if multiple lines of a trinket can proc? for instance, i have a 13% scour to regret, and 3% regal to exalt on my trinket. If the scour to regret procs will my regal to exalt not work?
does running with 3% regal to exalt beastsplit worth it or does it need to be 4%?
anyone have sheet for min-max heist gears?
Is Heist instance crashing still prevalent? I gave it 2 weeks off for bug fixes but am still unable to complete a simple contract.
soo idk what im doing wrong (if i do smth wrong) but i dont rly make much profit with currency heist i open all the chest and have a regal to ex trinket do i have to run insane blueprints for profit and is it worth it to run just one because i have liek 250c wich would only be enough for one so idk is that worth it?
Du....Du Heist....Du Heist Nicht
Du heist ja
man I got 35% total demolition speed on vinderi and it still seems kinda slow
I dont think affects the run back and shield animation
You mostly need it for running Back during lockdown because there is a Penalty to Speed during it
And Blueprints are a Hit or miss cause every room costs Like 7C to unlock, so you need to be picky which you unlock
Speed doesnt Clash with the good stats
So having it is only a Bonus
Uh - cost and dmg
And XP gain
Which is useless after max lvl
lol yeah the marker price hurts, I thought I made a nice profit off my first red maps blueprint, turns out after marker cost I made like 5c
and that was using gianna to unlock all the wings
Its random If you Profit or not. Often you have stuff that can be good, but isnt.
Harby can give you Just anullment shards instead of exalt shards
does doing grand heist with another person increase the rate of drop or does it not affect any drop rate
Guys can u buy gear fom heist ? All i saw i could buy is more contracts whit coins
you can buy stuff from other players, as always, but the only stuff you can buy from a vendor are Whakano's contracts (which cap out at i67)
and you don't buy those with rogue markers
is it me or demolition is bugged
despite having demo speed and other mods, it seems like it only runs at its default speed
Personally, if I were to design a fight like the Twins where you fight two bosses at once, what I would do is have the bosses do this combo where one of them charges up this super choerographed attack, and the other drops a currency or otherwise valuable item into the area where the attack hits right before it launches.
It would clearly show the enemies working together, and it would being a new dynamic into the fight. If you paying attention then obviously an item dropping mod-fight is suspicious. But it toys with your instincts and if you're not giving the game full focus, it could result in an easy death.
If the Twins pulled something like that off, that would make them feel more cunning then most PoE villains. Because they trick the player and not the player character.
job speed increases only affect the bit where the bar fills up; they don't speed up any other part of the animation. for jobs like demolition and agility, the bar filling is a fairly small part of the overall animation, so it doesn't have that much effect. @edgy pond
can you get a unique contract drop when you already have another one in your inventory?
shouldn't matter
is stacked deck counted as currency or div card (for the brooch)?
I'd guess div card; it isn't really currency
Hi, is there a way to tell how far along you are on the green contract questlines to unlock the unique contracts, I've been doing heists almost exclusively for a week or two and am not sure how far along in the twins, darnaw etc lines?
is it worth using marks for lvl50-60 blueprints (grand heists right?)?
it's probably on poedb somewhere, if you nose around @stiff rover
ah cheers I'll take a look
did they fix the heist traps or whatever people were dying to?
heard it stated in notes that it got fixed but it was a scamaz.
🤣
so i stopped touching heists(i play ssfhc).
it's easy to avoid even if they didn't fix it (though I think they did)
what was going on?
so in trap heists, there are corridors with mines that your rogue needs to disarm. some of these corridors are active when you enter, which is fine. some of them are not active when you enter and activate/arm when you trigger the lockdown.
the issue is whether they trigger when the timer starts, or when it ends
previously they activated when the timer started, so if you were trying to open chests during the lockdown, you might wind up with a hallway of traps in your way
now they're (supposed to) arm when the timer ends/when you open the target item case, so that won't be an issue
but you could still see the trap regardless right? I remember spotting those untriggered ones and preparing myself for them
but you can just keep an eye out for those narrow hallways, much like you should be keeping an eye out for perception rooms
yep
alright cool, thank you.
You couldn't disarm them from the side you would be in that case btw.
ANy signals that they are going to nerf heist XP? IMO they should - I tried the tip Zizaran publicized of just farming 3 or 4 circuits of level 83 heists and got 20% of a level at level 96 in like 3 heists yesterday. I'm pretty sure that will need to be nerfed if not now then for sure before Heist goes core next league
Is the heist cheat sheet on reddit incorrect? I did an engineering contract and got an essence reward room. Cheat sheet says I should be getting Uniques and Maps.
Thread is "Heist Cheat Sheet 1.1 - Originally Made By /u/chuanhsing"
Not sure if I'm allowed to link to the thread.
the one in #guides-archive is the most up to date
but engineering can also have the ?/generic chests
just that one bit
Anyone knows how the blueprint reveals work from normal heists? Refering to "Added information to the Contract UI screen and at the completion of a Heist to tell you if the area level of the Heist would be or was too low to grant Blueprint Reveals upon completion."
if you put a contract into adiyah's interface and it's too low level to get a reveal, a warning shows up on that ui @pseudo heart
I'm more confused about how the part where you get a reveal works @still mural I have run 100's of contracts but never once gotten some reveal a blueprint happening after completing the heist? All lvl 83
so you earn a "reveal" with Whakano. You then use that reveal to reveal a wing or a room in a blueprint, by talking to Whakano and putting the blueprint in his interface.
it also costs rogue markers
Ah okay, can see that I have 136 reveals there now
I thought it implied you had a chance to get a free reveal for no marker cost
Ah! nope
never really noticed that the reveleas were limited since they are so damn expensive compared to the amount you get..
You also earn reveals when you run contracts with Niles, who gives a 10% marker discount, and Gianna, who gives a higher discount based on her deception level
generally the marker cost is more significant than the reveal count, so Gianna's reveals are especially important since they can give like a 50% discount if you boost her level
That makes sense, thanks
you access those the same way, just press the arrow next to whakano's portrait (or you can talk to niles/gianna and put the blueprint in their interface the same way, but it's more walking without much reason)
Ah never knew you could change it to reveal with Gianna and Niles, that will save me heaps of marks thanks
I try to only reveal wings with Gianna, as those are the most expensive, and the rest it depends how much it costs and whether I feel like waiting to run heists for more discounted reveals
like, if I'm revealing a wing I'm using Gianna to do it; not that I never use Gianna reveals on rooms
You only really reveal with Niles if you have been doing counter thaumaturgy 5 contracts
And don't have any gianna reveals
i find i hardly ever have gianna reveals
can fractured fossils drop in heists from fossil chests?
is there any way to search for blueprints with currency rooms on pathofexile.com/trade?
Not really, people sometimes write in notes what the Print has
am i understanding it right - if i loot every chest and dont get this one quest item in the end, i lose ALL the loot i got?!?!!?!
i got every chest, didnt get the final item before lockdown, and my inventory was empty after leaving.
nevermind, it wasnt all items, it was just the last few. well no biggie
You keep what you have when you leave, as long as you don't crash or die after setting off the alarm
if you don't get the target item then your rogue gets no XP and you don't get markers or reveals, but it doesn't affect your inventory
Every time longer and longer 😄
does completing unique contracts not give reveals
Is Heist instance crashing still prevalent or did the latest patch fix some of these issues?
It varies; I know there's some folks who are still crashing so much they basically can't play, and others ( 🙋 ) who aren't crashing at all
Is there actually a guide in guides to try common things out that might cause crashes?
stuff like chrome beeing shit, drivers, the game defaulting to x32 launcher after an update, Windows10 update that causes memory compression, some GPU special game launcher etc
Not that I know of; you're probably best served by nosing through the technical support forums?
Thats a hassle though for the people that ask here. Probably 5 times a day i talk to people that have wierd issues they shouldnt have and that at times can be fixed by going through a list of things
That would indeed be nice to have access to
I am in the group of 'basically can't play' people
All my friends that were crashing after latest patch were using Vulcan and have reduced their crashes (and FPS is some cases) going to direct X. It’s small sample size like 10 people but worth a shot.
Anyone know if the follower brooches are working yet? Don't seem to be so far. Figured they'd have this done already
How do you get Giana?
@quartz trellis The currency duplication brooch is definitely working. You'd need to be more specific for what isn't working to be certain.
Div card stuff @willow marten
@sharp iron Use the last rogue you unlocked and a new rogue will accompany them into the heist, repeat until you have all 9
Yeah I don't know how you'd test that since the brooch only adds additional
vs. the obvious duplication mechanic
I guess you could do 100 div card caches without a div brooch then 100 with and see if there is a difference in outcome
Unless it's just not doubling stacked decks
@indigo wolf do you think it'll double the cards if we have the currency brooch on your heist mates? lol
The stacked decks
don't care much about the regular cards that come from the chests since it's superrrr rare that they're worth much, if anything
yea, this whole system is messed up tbh considering that stacked DECKS are considered 'currency' apparently.
YEP
lmfao it works @indigo wolf . Just had my first div-chest double the stacked decks
FFS this game sometimes lol
So to get double stacked decks, use a currency brooch
Is there a way to check which heist quests I've done and which ones I haven't done?
Look under challenges/achievements then 'complete heist quests'
Also new patch and using DirectX- still crashes heists, so depressing
Anyone know if the follower brooches are working yet? Don't seem to be so far. Figured they'd have this done already
@quartz trellis I thought so too, but I was running karst and my currency brooch procced
however it seems really low I ran about 30+ lockpicking contracts and it only worked once and I have a 15% duplicate currency
All currency or each drop roll
@cobalt falcon like vinderi. i heard the chest go off twice and I got double off the whole chest
what does character level from whisper woven cloak do? I got a +2 on Gianna but it doesn't lower the cost reveal blueprint
just checked reddit, it does literally nothing...
it raises their combat stats a bit, but yeah, it's one of the worst mods
which contracts give back the most rogue markers?
the ones with the "priceless" marker value
awesome thanks
priceless > precious > high value > moderate value
never even noticed those lol
does running heists as rare do anything to the reward? also is there any point corrupting hesists
mods give you increased lockdown time, reduced alert from chests, and more enemies during the escape; it doesn't affect the marker rewards
and no, no reason to corrupt anything related to heists
Are there are set amount of green contracts or do they keep dropping forever
@swift fable a set amount. You can't drop one you've completed
The unique contracts drop infinitely though
If decks are currency then why the fuck are they not in my currency tab?
idk that they're considered currency, but not everything goes into its respective tab anyway (delirium splinters don't go in the fragments tab, breachlord blessings don't go in a tab...)
and stacked decks can go in the catch-all slots at the bottom of the currency tab
which already get eaten up by other miscellaneous buillshit that should be in one of the main tabs but gets its own league-specific one for money grubbing reasons (blight)
personally I put stuff like metamorph, delirium, blight, fossils into their own normal tab, or together with some others in a quad tab; I keep the catch-all slots of the currency tab for stuff I use or fiddle with more often (like stacked decks)
also I don't think there's room to put stuff like blight oils into one of the existing tabs 
like currency or fragments would make the most sense, but they're both quite full
Upgraded breachstones don't go into the fragment tab 
yeah, upgraded breachstones annoy me to no end
i run them just because i have no where to put them lol
They fit into any normal Tab 
yeah, but im OCD af lol
the fragment tab should include a space for those if you ask me
a lot of the tabs could use some upgrades
How's this setup?
I dont know for Sure, but i dont think passives Stack with Themselves. So doubling vinderi wont Double has passive. I cant even confirmed if Equipment from the Same follower stacks with itself
Because taking Double vinderi didnt reflect in the tooltip, which it probably should If it works
But maybe the people that run Split prints more often know more
you can’t double within a wing no
or rather you shouldn’t, it does nothing
I think it did for like the first week
Thats why you should aim for Vinderi/Karst/Nenet-Tullina
Do you reveal everything on a grand heist or just some rooms?
and always reveal all the wings?
Depends on how much time they save
If its directly next to the curio, sure Reveal it. But If its like 1 room from the normal escape, no
is GGG gonna fix the rogues from bugging out from not opening doors when u tell them too
prismatic and fertile are 2c each and a room costs only 2c-3c to reveal.
Is there any list of experimental base types anywhere?
PoEDB provides new things come out each league, as well as unreleased skills or MTX, as all of the information is directly datamined from the game itself.
Oh thanks
@hybrid tapir minions seem to hard stop them 👎
If I was able to make experimental base type items, I'd make three, being Armour, Evasion, and Energy Shield helmets that give about half as much defense as the highest tier bases of those do, and all have the effect "Item can be modified by Catalysts"
hey guys, what else do i need to to to run this?
Adiyah will not take it.. :S
go to the planning room, behind Kurai, and assign your rogues to each wing
once you do that you can then open & run it with Adiyah (be sure to choose grand heist, not normal heist)
Isnt it already Approved? Thats why it has the stamp?
that may have been it
does 5 for 1 corrupted rare for uncorrupted rare work on trinkets?
no
are regal -> exalt or chaos -> exalt better trinketwise?
chaos are also worth more than regals
so you don't want to convert them if you can help it
Which is weird because the chaso to exalt one is shit.
It's stupidly rare for seemingly no practical reason.
what area is the GR8B0-Y?
@slender temple wat does minions have to do with rogues not opening the doors
no map ever dropped for me. can you tell why? i have no clue
they quite rare
i think it requires a certain ilvl, i got maps just few hours ago
what do you think would be enough. 72?
i'm noob
o
68 should be enough, but idk
don't worry
does it drop on heists too or just grands
Yeah regular heists
those small chests
yes i open as many chests i can
without icons like chaos orb or harbinger
yes i do
I'm finding that I have way more grand heists than I have markers to reveal them...do I just run them with one wing?
i think i am done with this league lol
im amazed i took like 15 characters to 90~95 and didnt find the unique contract for the ultimate boss
outside of that though, it was fun
think i figured out my league starter too, for next league
Yea the twins contract only dropped from lvl 83 smuggler caches after you completed it's questline.
Now they've made it easier.
But that was just dumb.
t16 only, 10% spawn chance, if you have the quest line completed still RNG to drop it.
Classic GGG endgame boss accessibility.
And they drop a corrupted ammy 
i think the ammy is pretty cool
its actually REALLY strong for like... a crit lightning build
makes it super easy to hit 100% crit chance, along with reducing their resists and damage dealt
(that said, i have only been doing t16s and nothing lol)
i think if i do any other builds if i get bored
ill do something with that ammy
just not sure how to go about doing stat balance lol
0 regal orb ty ggg gl good nerf
i thought you can go back in when you die? or is everything lost?
Anyone know what mechanic triggers the twins to swap places in the fight? Didn't see an explanation in any guide vids, and there's not a clear ability in POEDB that explains it.
Kill ranged (crossbow guy) first
❤️
They swap when melee guy is below 75% hp or so
Do we get any markers for unique contracts?
Guys, wtf is this? I just did the pussycat quest and 5 of my rogues disappeared and I can't hire them anymore...
Has anyone else had this?
Great stuff
Is job speed still broken
Wonderful
No @surreal helm
which rogue gets lvl 5 traps?
vinderi
Nani
Is there anything special to getting a unique contract? I’m lvl 95 and all rogues maxed. Atlas complete, heist challenges complete but 0 unique contracts
Nope they increased the chances tho and I immediately got one
You get them from smuggler's caches in maps. Each unique contract has a questline leading up to it, so you need to do the green quest contracts (and it's not the ones for the quest contract challenge) before the unique for that line can drop. The green contracts & the uniques both have a minimum ilvl to drop, which you can probably check on poedb.
ya completed all of them and doing t16s only
like when I say atlas complete I mean
complete
all objectives and awakening objectives
lol
why are some contracts normal/magic/rare rarity and some are green?
those are the quest line contracts
Guys maybe you know if i have duplicate currency brooch on vinderi and im using him with karst also with duplicate currency which is openning chests the bonus is stacking ?
How do I check if I've completed the required quests for the unique contracts (not the 15 challenge quests)?
would it be at all possible that an alt would drop as an exalt if two of the mods procced simultaneously? (or if it is at all possible for 2 of the mods to proc simultaneously?)
big doubt
yall ever just heist w kduvw
Always
hey everyone..what are the best spectres for heist? I'm kinda struggling atm using Ashblessed Wardens (fire)
Does anyone know if there are any particular maps or areas that contain smugglers catches? I've been trying to find more to gain more contracts but so far haven't had much luck.
I'm a witch and part of the heist league.
Just rng, every 10 maps on average
@light adder Okay, so just keep going through maps? Sounds good! I'll just keep looking. Thanks! :)
Normal contracts drop pretty often from enemies.
@void wing. Okay, I'll just continue going through maps and be on the look out. Thanks :)
Should be able to twins now.
jesus heist is still rippy
just open every small chest you find
that's what i do
check which contract spawns map boxes
engineering
ok i picked up
can i just go out or need to make this heist
i will just do it
dont want it to bug
I JUST GOT IT AND NOTHING
does anybody have the updated graph with all master levels and rewards?
can someone tell me is it really profitable to run splitted blueprints with 18 currency rewards with 2% regal to ex trinket? Split beast is 5.5-6ex right now, so you need to make 7ex for it to be worth it
probably is
does anybody have the updated graph with all master levels and rewards?
@violet nymph #guides-archive has it
is it worth it to buy a trinket with regal -> ex? I'm gonna grind it a lot I think, right now I have alt -> alch/chaos I dropped before
if you’re going to grind bps definitely buy the trinket
@severe hamlet if u got like some really good rogue gear probably
how do i do this? any orb would tick that?
any orb, even scroll of wisdom if its magic rare or unique
yes, the map "oba's cursed trove" or someting got unique arcanist strongbox in the end
got it
just need monolith now
is there any help for getting amulet and ring for challenge just to wear it for a sec?
guys this here is referring to the blueprint level right?
well it is referring to the item level
but BPs drop equal or higher item level trinkets
anywhere from +0 to +2
What's the minimum number of currency nodes a blueprint needs to be worth revealing/running? I got a few bps with 7-9 currency but the marker reveals are so goddamn expensive
depends on your trinket
I'd run 7-9 currencies with a 4% if I wasn't spamming fractures
gianna reveal wings and don't open too many junk rooms
oof, I dont even have an ex trinket, can afford a 2% or maybe 3% tho
gianna reveals are like 1-1.5c per room and 5c per wing
I think it's worth investing if you're doing even a moderate amount of contracts/BPs
even a 2% is 1 exalt per 50 regals avg
and regals are hella common
removed them from my filter common
vinderi duplicate doesn't stack with trinkets does it? Like you cant get triple or quadruple rewards from a chest?
I've not seen it
to me they seem like one roll
like you get either one
they behave slightly differently though
ok thanks
for the heist quests
do they only drop from the chests in maps?
or can i find them elsewhere
got just one last one for the challenge and i cant seem to get it
the green quest contracts only drop from smuggler's caches in maps; the orange unique contracts can drop from the caches or from the final rooms of heists (and maybe grand heists? I forget) once you've done the green quests that unlock them (which are not the ones in the quest challenge, btw).
@sinful oxide
there are minimum ilvls/zone levels for the green contracts & the unique boss contracts; you can check the required level for the one you're missing on poedb
thanks
Is there a good way to buy grand heists? Like I dont think I can sort on the main website for like minimum 7 currency or stuff like that
I guess I could sort by job reqs but that doesnt seem that great
Twin contract really random?
2 sirius cycle
Still not found it
I already done that sad contract
Smuggler only give rare contract
Is there any more prequisite
Don´t think so, seems just to be rare
you know what is this ?
idk what to say, its the font of thunder
ye but can't find it on poe ninja?
i could
Unique armours
ok ty
Safe replica nebulis build?
Do you have to find that one item on each character to use a trinket? or is there an easy way to unlock the trinket slot on each character?
Any trinket grand heist will unlock the slot
ok thanks
hey guys. with the underbelly and smuggler's den (trinkets & currency) grand heists. do display cases contain exalted orbs or exalted shards? never ran one before trying to figure out if it's worth it buying blueprints fro trade market
hmms. i see some BP's going for like 1ex so i was curious what the returns are
i invest 10-20c for other blueprints and i get 1ex-3x per BP return
probably has multiple currency rooms in it
max stack for the currency display for chaos orbs is 10. so it's not really worth it. i has to contain exalted orbs otherwise people wouldn't sell the BP's for 1ex
i just cherry pick any BP's that has lots of currency and harbgringer rooms
i guess there's only one way to find out but to give it a shot XD
or whisper the dude and ask what makes the price
display cases can contain exalted orbs but not shards
never seen more than 1 exalted in a display case
though for what it's worth I've seen less exalted orbs than regal->exalt trinkets
so not very common
what are the best rooms to reveal?
Noob question time but what's the 2 best grand heists to run for currency or trinkets? Just read up a bit and underbelly and smugglers?
anyway to know how's my progress regarding quest contracts?
press "H" there is a challenge for them
Anyone else having a hell of a time getting the NPC missions to drop.
I feel like once you get to maps they barely drop. 90% of the ones I found were in the acts.
smugglers caches show up less often in maps than in acts, and quest contracts only drop from smuggler's caches (one in ten in maps)
but they each have a minimum ilvl to drop, so you can't just farm them all in acts
I knew they came from caches, I find it sort of dumb that their is a league mechanic that doesn’t show up in every map.
Same thing in the past, like blight reward node not every blight have it , i guess it will be after going core
Atleast it isn't 83 area level only drop 😔
Hello, can you help me understanding how farm heist better.
Im now have Karst, Venderi, Gianna leveled, all have trinket 10%+ currency, all have +1 all jobs tool, cloak for - alarm
Im also have 2% ex converting trinket
Question:
- that blueprints to buy\make for good profit?
- how sustain markers
- that next to do with rogues\equip?
ANyone know if the experimental base types have uniform drop probabilities? I've been trying to find a Stabilizing Sceptre, but so far no luck - had the ring bases and rod bases I dont know how many times, but never either of the experimental sceptres yet...
Any updates on fixing divergent faster projectile support? https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2937947/page/1#p23581932 the return aspect does not work at all
Ugh, attacks, not spells 😦
Did a little test Works with lightning strike, ethereal knives, kinetic blast and bolt, power siphon, molten strike, shattering and splitting steel, lancing steel, creeping frost, essence drain. Didn't try the claw ones or spectral shield, since I think it would work. So it looks like attack types tend to work, spell types do not. I am sure all the bow ones would work.
It does work with spark, although it is hard to tell: just look for sparks shooting straight
right, so the final part of the grand heist challenge, finish a grand heist with at least 6 different rogues recruited
is this bugged? Ive done it 3 times in a row, first time with 6, then with 8 then with 7
all 3 times have failed to earn me the part of the challenge
you have to have a grand heist with at least two wings, with a total of six or more rogues assigned across them (so two wings each with three different rogues, for example), and you have to get an item from the target room and successfully escape for each wing
ive covered those requirements over all 3 attempts
first 2 had 4 wings maxed out, 3rd had 3 wings
gathered an item from the final cabinet in each wing of every grand heist and escaped from every wing safely
and it's six different rogues, right, not counting the same ones assigned again to multiple wings?
correct, my last grand heist that had the 7 i even took a screen shot to make sure
idk, then. post a bug report in the forums?
lol you can imbue contracts with orbs....
everyone dc'd?
@violet nymph do you mean tempering? Lmao
hello, can you recommend me profitable way to farm in heist not running fractured blue prints? im only have 2% trinkets, so looks like fractured blue prints is not so profitable for me. Doubt is better farm in heist or just go for simulacrums
Run lockpick heists
if i'm fracturing blueprints, what other fossils do i want? i'm carrion golem build, so phy reflect and no regen are no-gos
hi guys, question here: does the quantity roll on contract affects the reward quantity from chests?
Is contract running profitable compare to others way for farming? Im just dont have good trinket for blueprints and overall understanding how make more from heist
Contracts have basically no input cost so it depends on what you mean by profitable.
Lock picking drops a fair bit of liquid currency.
If ya ain't a streamer working the game full time, ya ain't gonna make a lot of money off heist. Half joke. I had 3 ex drop off a single grand, but just luck. Have to play a lot to get the RNG to drop you the goods eventually
Is there an up to date guide on reward types by contract?
the last one in #guides-archive is still accurate
do note that engineering also has generic/? chests
if I use the same rogue twice in a wing do I get their bonuses twice?
in grand heists
no
so no benefit then over using a different rogue?
correct
ok, ty
oh yeah, you do save on the hiring fee
Does anyone know if the heist weapon enchants affect implicit modifiers?
I like we got +1month of gameplay 😛
any tips for new hiest starters ?
@vocal sun there's lots of weird stuff, but one easy tip is you can run back and forth 3 times after completing tunnels/repository contracts for tons of XP. Easiest/cheapest way to power level
what is the 2nd best trinket after the exalt one for farming lockpick heists?
mobs infinitely spawn, yeah, but there is an item drop & xp cap that you hit eventually. hence the "run out three times & then exit" strat. @vocal sun
ok gotcha sor
tips I'll add:
- get a trinket ASAP so you can get benefit from it when you run contract heists. doesn't need to be an amazing one, just something that upgrades currency a bit, like chromes to fusings or sommat.
- learn the way the map looks where perception totems are; it's very noticeable once you learn it. being able to plan for that helps a lot, instead of getting surprised by it
For the big slam type attacks in heist, what type of damage are they. Cueing on visuals the slow lightning ball of death, the overhead swing, but what is the lab robot laser that is charged?
best bet is to look up the mob on poedb
what does character level do for rogues?
gotcha, ty
I want to farm synthesised bases in heists, does anyone know if the "additional weapons" mod on trinkets can possibly drop those, or are they only going to come from weapon chests?
hey guys, how do i unlock rogue with deception trait?
@ Hailgoats you need to make sure to run contracts with all your rogues in their different roles. I don't remember the specific one that unlocks, but that's how you get the rest
thanks
Hey, is there a way to target farm grand heists?
Like specific reward? Those go by the 9 different bases
Yeah
For some reason I have almost none of the two bases that give alternate gems
And tons of the trinket ones
afaik no, completely random 1/9 chance
Damn :(
How do you get the 40% quality gem challenge?
you can use replica voideye
huh
For the items you equip on your rogues that say "XX% increased spell damage" Does that apply to you or to the rogue?
@surreal helm You can use https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Enhance_Support
how do you get heist npc equips over tier 2? i am doing lvl 68 maps now, and the npc equips has not changed since i was lvl 20. im still getting torn cloak. is there something i should be doing? i can't seem to google any means of getting the item, aside from buying it from other players
@indigo wolf That got fixed pretty early on. The high-tier/low-level rogue gear was basically useless because almost nobody had rogues that could equip any of it, at that point in the league
what happens if you fill the alert meter prior to opening the curio
it'll go into pre-lockdown with a short timer
if you don't get the curio in that timer it seals up
also any chests you try to open in that state remove 3 seconds from the timer
As you get higher level contracts, you'll start seeing higher tier bases. @winged meteor @indigo wolf
it's mostly t2 stuff until you get into maps, though, yeah
Is there any way to influence the rolls of a Tempering Orb?
not that I know of
i have not done a heist yet
ahh ic, thanks!
i am only lvl 22 is that bad
no, you go for heists whenever you feel like it.
then go heist, lol
bro , heist brooch > drop duplicate division is = dup steak deck ?
what effects the job experience gain of rouges most ? the contract level or required job level r how juicy the contract ??
how do i get contracts > lvl 70?
i feel like my contracts have been stuck at lvl 67 for quite awhile
altho my character lvl is 76
play maps with lv70+

u aren't gonna be able to buy contracts higher than 67 from whakano
Can anyone give the the latest rewards sheet for heists? I didn't play in a while and unsubscribed from reddit to know about the recent one.
Which reward rooms in grand heist are worth unlocking?
i have now done 3x gradn heists with 16 currency rooms. i have a 2% regal to exa trinket, and the crew have the reccomended t2 more time, less alert level etc. and ive lost somewhere around 4 exa from them. used fractured fossils. what am i doing wrong? i focus on opening all currency chests and everything else i can before lockdown
by doing something literally everyone else is doing with the lowest rarity trinket and expecting to make a profit is what you're doing wrong
fracture fossil prices are probably high enough to match 3% trinket profit margins probably at this point in league
@olive phoenix there's the one in #guides-archive if that's what you mean? (just note that engineering also has generic/? chests)
@icy forge in trade league? currency for sure, maybe fragments, breach, delirium, harbinger.
Oh! Thanks a lot. I wasn't sure how this discord works, so I didn't realize it was there, but that's what I am looking for.
What kind of damage type does the Heist Tunnels/Repository "big circular blast" do?
It's a slow moving blast that does a butt ton of damage
best bet is to look up the mob that uses it on poedb
I hate how it takes like 15 contracts to unlock 1 wing
And then I lose 3 wings to game crash 
is the heist league good? or standard?
anything is better than standard
Anyone know how to get ilvl 86 items in heist? Can they naturally drop this level or is there a way to up the level of drops?
is this where people are getting the obsidian stones ilvl 86? only from final showcases?
guessing no way to use like a watch stone type deal here?
its a thing
its a big big deal right now
just not sure how to get them to drop at ilvl 86
So ilvl 86 stones going for a lot now?
yea that's what it is, still trying to understand what makes them do no threat
hmm he did skip some chests
im watching it now trying to see
I watched some of it live
not sure if it's legit BS, or if people are trying to hide it's real so they can make bank
there’s literally clips of him forgetting to turn off the image when lockdown starts
this is just the new version of vaults of atziri
so if I do drop i86 stone sell it for the lolz
I don't even think rogue gear can drop at 86
probably why he doesn't mind going hard on this meme
With the stones, or other items like that, there are mods to increased damage, is that only for the heist members or do these apply to you as well?
if it just says "increased damage" it's for the rogue only
it'll say "players and minions gain X" if it applies to you
is that what people roll these for?
depends on what you're doing really
I mostly rolled mine for flat damage to spells and mana regen
broach - duplicate money, cloaks reduced threat, specific gear chance for no alert
but the last item been dwelling on what to do
speed may be the best thing here
cloaks can also roll generic chance for no alert
I'd still prioritize global reduced alert but it is best second mod
weapon is more build specific imo
like I was running a lot of fractured BPs so I mostly wanted flat dmg for myself and mana regen to counter "less mana per 25% alert" without needing other adjustments
is there a benefit gearing heist members to get one of their abilities past lvl 5?
yeah the strength of their perk is tied to the level of their primary job
so like karst for example goes from 40% -> 45% reduced alert of reward chests if he has level 6 lockpick
Yeah, most of them get a solid benefit from boosting their primary job past 5
Tibbs being the main exception
ah, got it thanks
but tibbs has that double bubble
He can open 2 chests at level 5, yeah. He doesn't get any benefit from going from 5 to 6, though
re: which mods to prioritize, I've been aiming for
combat items: %lockdown time prefix, some useful aura suffix (ilvl 81 ideal)
job tools: +job level or all job lvl prefix, ideally %job chest no alert suffix but the prefix is rare enough that it's hard to be picky with the suffix (ilvl 83+ ideal)
cloaks: %lockdown time prefix, -chest alert or %chest no alert suffix (ilvl 82+)
brooches: +quant prefix, dupe currency suffix (ilvl 84 for highest quant tier, otherwise 81+)
and of course everything can roll marker discount suffixes, which are nice if you regal into them
and for Gianna's brooch +target marker value prefix since I only use her in contract heists
good call with gianna
Bruh its going to take 18k marks to reveal the last wing of this heist. Thats going to take so long to get. I like the loot of this league but I'd like to run other stuff too not just trying spending all day on contracts
you can focus on contracts with high value/precious/priceless targets, fwiw
Even the top end only gives 2-3k. I'd have to run 10 of those if not more to reveal last wing and have enough to pay the cost of starting it
And thats if I don't die to lag
I swear if I lag out or crash during this grand heist I'm not doing any more heist content.
All that grind for the best reward to be 6 chaos and then have the game crash. Or die to lag since they decide to spawn too many enemies in a small area knowing that causes performance issues.
Can someone explain to me what a facture service is? I see people offering services like this but not sure how it works and what you get out of it
also what is a Split service?
which operatives do spell dmg to give them spell dmg equipment?
does anyone face the bug in Death to Darnaw unique heist?
i cant fking open the 1st door lmao no matter i tried
is the 2% regal to exalt worth 4 exalted rn for someone looking to do more heists?
will it pay itself rather quickly or ill stay with the regal to divine orb(which seem to be not half bad i think)
mods on blueprints dont affect chest drops right?
Nope
is there an updated loot table for heist?
Any thoughts on fixing the non-working alt gems?
@lime siren they dont, they use a spell that prepares the weapons they throw
@exotic grove #guides-archive has it; only thing to note is that engineering contracts can also have generic/? chests
@lime siren if you're talking about the rogues, Gianna, Niles, and Isla do spell damage; Nenet & Karst use phys projectiles; the rest use melee
Ty
some scienced info: the "2 items with same name = 1 chance orb" recipe overrides the 5:1 recipe. so be careful when 5:1ing vinderi duped cluster jewels.
can i buy contracts any higher than lvl 67? or do i have to grind them from maps?
can't buy them from whakano, but you can buy from other players if you're in trade
or yeah, get them from maps or other content
for the grind to 100 using contracts, how do you juice them ? Any mod significantly improving the exp / danger ?
-max res per alert is something to avoid
anyone knows how ee and ignite interact? does ignite affect ee?
ee requires a hit
so if you use stormfire and don't hit with any fire damage, your ignite will benefit
i see thanks. sounds complicated guess it wont rly work for rf
EE itself works super well for RF
yeahs but i got a mod on my med cluster jewel that spreads ignite. thought of making use of it but meh
yeah, if you're inflicting ignite with a fire hit, the enemy you hit will be +25 fire
but the enemys it prolifs to won't be
wait nvm it has an extremely small radius of 15
dont wanna lose my verm for it
this is the jewel
belated, but @stone prairie +reward room monsters is especially good. -max resists is bad (but plain -resists is not so bad if you're overcapped). phys as extra element can be rough. if you care much about the loot along the way, alert increases every 10s and lockdown is instant are bad. also watch for mods that mess with your build's defenses: I avoid chance to dodge is unlucky, for example, but I'm quite happy to run -chance to block since I don't use block.
deception, agility, and I think lockpicking? don't have doors on the way out, so they're a fair bit faster than the others.
Hey can someone tell me what "Chance to find addtional heist targets from secret reward rooms" does?
is that like only in blueprints?
are these the rooms you reveal?
ahhhhhhhh
ok thank you!
just tested and can confirm
secret rooms are any rooms you have to open up
yeah, idk why they added the word "secret" there; it's just the big reward chests
Is the alert lvl controlling the amount of mobs on lockdown?
Yes; higher alert level before getting the target item = more mobs during the escape
so thats why i get clapped each time
Nah, you mean, that is why you get decent exp gains
oh yeah i cant farm em since im always stuck near the safe cause they just never stop coming
can*
hey guys
I keep taking heavy damage or dying in heists
and it always comes after this "poof" sound
what the hell is it
poof sound isn't uh
very telling of whats hitting u

only dangerous things ik in heist all basically come from the robots
lasers, on deaths, death balls
Phasing flasks with minions making contracts so chill
what does "+# character level" means on a rogue item?
I love how 15k marks on xbox costs 1ex but its unlikely to earn profit off of that investment
I need 18k stupid marks to reveal last wing of this grand heist full knowing its hardly worth the effort.
thanks
Is there a vendor recipe for contract so I don't have to keep wasting my time just to get 500 marks from almost every contract I do?
does anyone have a list of optimized heist gear for each rogue?
been looking at this, but does job speed really not matter?
641 votes and 165 comments so far on Reddit
and also what is the priority for gearing
actually i;d guess with enough +1 to job level not all rogues need to be geared
if doing a grand heist that has 3 wings, and you come out of a wing and there's only a portal back to the harbour, do you lose the other 2 wings if you go back to the harbour?
no
Thank you ❤️
+1 to job level doesn't let you break caps.
So you still need each of the non-Huck rogues maxed in their specialty to run all level 5 requirement contracts, etc.
does job speed effect the animation of the rogues opening doors or only the bar?
It is supposed to only affect the animation. But that's had lots of bugs; dunno if it's fixed for all job types yet.
i see ty
+1 job level does let you exceed the normal caps @oblique tundra
+1 to their primary job also scales their perk, for most rogues (not Tibbs or Niles)
Does scaling to 6 like that also improve it past 5?
so my Gianna gives a 45% discount (on the reveal screen, for some reason not shown right on that screenshot)
yeah
Very cool
so it's very useful for Gianna for a bigger discount (and +1 all jobs lets you take her on a few more contracts, too), Karst for more -alert, etc.
Sure. Vinderi should be really good too
+1 all jobs is ilvl 82+ job gear, +1 specific job is 83; very low weights & both prefixes so it's quite difficult to get both on the same piece of gear, but if you do, it's awesome
yep
just have to counteract the +alert, but that's manageable
@oblique tundra it's not that they changed it, it's just that it literally did nothing early into the league, like most shit
Ah, I see
hmm, so i just assume no one has a problem with the reddit post I posted
wrt to tools
they said in patchnotes that they fixed job speeds
yeah, job speed is not all that important, since by the time you're looking at minmaxing gear you have their job levels maxed for the inherent speed that gives, and +jobspd only affects the filling of the bar afaik which is only a small portion of the actual time it takes to do the thing
so while they fixed the weird bug that was happening, it's still not that important
wrt the reddit post, I would say don't overlook useful auras on the weapon suffix, and definitely get +all jobs on as many rogues as you can on the job tools
if you can get that on Niles, he gets deception 5 and you don't need to take Gianna on any blueprints anymore (where her perk is useless), so you can go for something like +target marker value on her brooch (since you'll run more contracts with her than any other single rogue, probably)
probably worth doing even without +deception on niles, since there still won't be that many blueprints which require deception 5
while leveling your rogues, +job xp is also a very useful prefix on all gear, ofc
so my list looks more like:
Combat: %lockdown time prefix, useful aura/discount suffix; ilvl 81 is best
Brooch: +quant>%lockdown time prefix, currency dupe > other dupe/discount suffix; ilvl 84+ is best, otherwise 81; avoid 82 & 83
Cloak: %lockdown time prefix, -chest alert/%chest no alert suffix; ilvl 82 is best
Tool: +all job level > +specific job level > +flat lockdown time > %lockdown time prefix, %job chest no alert > discount suffix; ilvl 82+ is best, 83+ for chance at both +job level prefixes
For as much as I like the rewards and new items introduced in this league I hate the content.
Going through the content there isn't much of a challenge and you have multiple attempts but on the way out it spawns so many enemies in such a small space it affects performance and having to wait for doors to open and fighting against game bugs just to die and lose everything really sucks.
Unique contracts are very rare and I have yet to get anything worth while from them . And grand heists take so long to fully reveal that I get 10 if not more of them while trying to unlock 1. I can imagine its faster for someone who plays 12h a day who only grinds heists but the gh I'm currently trying to do I need 18k marks for the last wing and considering I only get 500-1.5k marks per contract its going to take between 10 and 30 contracts just to reveal it. And I'll be lucky to even get that investment back. As far as I can tell contracts and blueprints are worth more to sell then run myself and defeats the entire point of playing the league.
I'm kinda the opposite. I love how Heists are purely speed anymore, and you can be a little bit more calculated with them. I think the Doom system with curses worked very well with this league since you can curse an enemy, wait for the curse to get stronger, and then initiate the fight. But when it comes to loot, I don't like how Prophecies are now essentially all about getting them in their sealed forms and you basically don't use Navali to roll a new prophecy anymore. It also makes you realize just how bad unique rewards are compared to currency.
Wut?@prime rapids u make it sound like doing normal heists is an investment
@coral garden
On xbox 15k marks is 1ex. For a 4 wing heist that could take 2-4 ex worth of marks and I have yet to get anything close to that from contracts or grand heists.
Its more profitable to sell contracts and marks and blueprints then to run them. And I don't exactly like to run them either. I hate having to fight 100 respawnable enemies in tiny cramped spaces
@sharp iron
I hate how marks only apply to 1 enemie and can't be ran as auras because I have 4 max power charges but the only way to generate them is through assasins mark and since they changed it even that isn't reliable so I end up usually only having 1 or 2 at a time.
unfortunately, console economies are always weird
If its an investment theres no way ssf peeps could have played it
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the mark change either.
There are already ways in the same you can prepare yourself to fight a singular strong enemy. And I feel marks got ruined because of that change.
In particular, the Gluttony unique belt got gutted. But now they're also not a reliable form of charge gain either.
@coral garden
What i meant was that if I invest 1ex worth of marks into a grand heist that will end up only giving me like 20c in loot its not worth it. The best I have gotten from contracts and blueprints so far is 1ex drop and a replica loreweave that someone bought for 1ex even though I had it listed as 40c. Other then that alot of the stuff I get just sits and doesn't sell or is vendor food.
And I don't have 20+ ex to invest in a 4% chance exalt trinket
I don't think I have even sold a single alt gem I gotten. And that was probably a month ago.
And the best reward i have gotten from a wing in a currency grand heist is a whole 6 chaos. 90% of the time the podium reward is worth less then the rest of the loot.
U aren't meant to spam grand heist because they are more lucrative
Everyone is spamming it until the point its not profitable anymore (by buying markers) and they are forced to run normal heists
Market forces at work here
Even if 15k markers were 30c instead of 1ex i would probably still profit more by selling them then using them.
Its just easier overall and more consistent to just run maps and sell heist drops.
Unique contracts are usually 1ex each even though the drops from them are trash. And I can farm 1ex worth of contracts/marks faster then I can make 1ex by running them.
How do tailoring orbs actually drop? I've never seen one in the wild
Are they a rare reward in blue prints or just a currency drop?
It's a heist (blueprint) reward found alongside enchanted equipment, iirc
So, i opened a currency chest, but my exalted orb wasn't doubled, while everything else was. I'm trying to figure out if it's vinderi that doubles before the regal-exalt is rolled, or the heist amulets
heist bosses are "1 chance" only right? as in, you can't go back into the map if you die?
at least some of them you can re-enter if you die during the boss
@quartz wraith you can go back in as much as you like. be aware you have to run through the entire thing again
just to be double clear, even if the boss kills you right?
yeah, the ones I've done
cool, i can probably hit 31 challenges with the heist bosses
Yess, we can die many times now
Unique contract value is tied to challenge
People dont do it for profit
@coral garden
Well thats a waste of content don't you think?
heist is a waste in general
anyone got a heist room profitability ranking?
like i feel unique rooms are worthless
My personal tier list, any comments? Partly taken from that reddit thread from today. Credits also to that infographic from the #guides-archive channel for the nice pictures 🙂
very nice thanks, what's the number in brackets?
Minimum level before they can appear
bump breach down to like c
breach rooms are S tier according to that thread, maybe A
because you can find lots of breachstones in there imho
a guildmate who has some photoshop skills made a nicer looking pic, ill upload it later
why rank blight so high?
don't you like getting sepia oils?
I do, but I wouldn't expect folks more profit/efficiency focused to
and even I would probably only rank it B
I'm SSF 😛
okay?
so I value stuff differently; sepia oils have a use
they have borderline less use in ssf
i hate heists i just wanna get out but enemies spawn endlessly and once im in a room i already cleared and im slowly clearing next one they come back from behind and i die
is there a limit to how many enemies spawn?
yes
do u know what it is?
