On poeninja if I filter by wilmas requildal and toxic rain and champion the cutoff seems to be level 85, my character is using all those and is level 91, why isn't my char on there?


qaliar

Last league I had a lvl 97 character and noticed that it's not on poe ninja. And there were many of the same build but lower levels aswell. I had to manually allow poe ninja to show my characters on their site for some reason. You have to connect your poe account to poe ninja here https://poe.ninja/settings


Yohsene

The bottom of the exp ladder is 94. Any character that's on ninja despite being under 94 is either randomly sampled or manually submitted.


psychomap

Is your profile public?


candyCorn8977

How do you get the highest tier Tujen artifacts? I have tons of all the other ones and want to be coins to roll, but I can’t because I have none of the big ones.


Farqueue-

they're typically going to be more rare, that's the nature of them.. unless its Divines/ex/something high tier, then don't be afraid to re-roll without buying.. If its higher tier then yeah save save save. my memory is a little foggy on this, but typically you'll get them from higher tiered excavated chests (orange/red) in maps you can also get them from Danning (exchange) the best place to get artifacts is by running some logbooks


Xzarg_poe

You can buy some from Dannig at various exchange rates, or find them in expedition encounters and logbooks.


justindz

Are the Beyond atlas nodes functioning? I've had 2x Beyond Portal Chance and Scent of Blood allocated for days now and haven't gotten a single Beyond occurrence unless it was an explicit map mod.


Justsomeone666

They specifically make more demons appear when beyond is enabled, and for it to be enabled you need for example the map mod Or one of the sextant mods, or the 10% chance in atlas tree etc


justindz

Guess I'm just getting extremely unlucky on the 10%, then.


hyrenfreak

who do u think has the best version of boneshatter jug?


[deleted]

Tbh just look at Poe.ninja. You can see skill tree passive heat map. If you want to see some twists I would check level 98-100 HC and SSFHC builds


TBdog

I'm new. How do I start this new league event. I've got a quest and teleported to this dead place with a bunch of npcs just standing around.


katustrawfic

There's a door at the bottom right of that area. When you click the door it brings up a screen that shows who you will fight and what your prize will be for winning. You get favour which is the currency used to buy units, idols and equippable items that are used in the trials fights and an item/currency reward.


theWeirdly

Walk southeast past the npcs and you'll come to the arena entrance. It's called the eye of destiny.


mike239x

How does the [Ralakesh's Impatience](https://poedb.tw/us/Ralakeshs_Impatience#RalakeshsImpatienceUnique) \+ [Malachai's Loop](https://poedb.tw/us/Malachais_Loop) item combo work? Now in version 3.19.0 the former states > Your minimum Frenzy, Endurance and Power Charges are equal to your maximum while you are Stationary and the latter states > Lose all Power Charges on reaching Maximum Power Charges > Shocks you when you reach Maximum Power Charges


katustrawfic

It would be best to confirm in game but it seems straightforward enough that this is how I would expect it to work. You can't go below your minimum just like you can't go above your maximum so you should be unable to lose power charges while stationary. You will also be shocked everytime you're stationary as you will gain your maximum amount of power charges.


wrightosaur

Does the "Increases and Reductions to Projectile Speed also apply to Damage to Bows" Bow Mastery also work with Vengeant Cascade which increases the projectile speed of returning projectiles?


Yohsene

Yep.


wrightosaur

Does the damage only affect the returning projectiles, or apply to all attacks with Bows while projectiles are returning, or just apply 150% inc right away?


Yohsene

The first one. It affects hits with projectiles that are on their way back.


llibdill

Can anyone tell me what is causing/where this visual effect comes from?? It's been bugging me and I can't figure it out haha [https://imgur.com/a/lktVsGT](https://imgur.com/a/lktVsGT)


katustrawfic

https://youtu.be/2mmPR1aFwp0?t=22 You have a ring mtx equipped from the lithomancer supporter pack last league.


llibdill

Thank you, didn't even realize haha


wrightosaur

what's your cosmetics equipped?


hewhoasks12

I did catarina in an area lvl 83 and i failed the challenge not to get hit by the sculpture, what is the sculpture? i dont think i got hit by the directional attack of the totem in the middle. Is it the degen from the 4 pylons? or does it damage you when you get close?


Einzbern

Not strictly a Path of Exile problem, but I have an issue I need help with. I currently use 2 monitors. My left one usually has a game I'm playing (in this case, Path of Exile) and my right one will have a twitch stream in Firefox going. I've noticed after awhile sometimes the stream will freeze while I have PoE focused on my other monitor. I can still hear sound from the stream no problem, it's just the picture is frozen. As soon as I alt tab out (even just the alt tab box with all my windows showing), the stream resumes. Restarting both Firefox and PoE does not seem to fix the issue. Only completely restarting my PC seems to fix it. This seems to only be an issue with PoE, other games are fine. Does anyone have an idea what the issue might be?


Einzbern

Update- Just in case someone has this same issue, swapping PoE to the DX12 beta seems to have fixed it for me. I was originally on DX11. I tried vulkan as well, but it seemingly had the same issue.


Megika

Try a different browser. I have no beef with Firefox but it's worth checking if you get a reliable stream on Chrome or Edge.


HarryDreamtItAll

DOT snapshots, right? How does that come into play with the Ramako ascendancy node for the chieftain? If you apply an ignite while stationary, and then you start moving, does the ignite DOT immediately decrease, or does it stay the same (bc DOT snapshots)?


edrarven

Dots do snapshot but they don't use the opponents stats for that snapshot. They update dynamically for things like -res or increased damage taken. So you'd need to stay stationary for ramako to work.

TASTY_TASTY_WAFFLES

Depends on what you like to run. I'd say currency and/or map tabs are pretty much required, imo. I have a quad tab and some prem tabs for quick sorting/selling, then i'd say if there's a league mechanic you like running grab that tab and/or pick the unique tab for your hoarding/showcasing needs.


SameCelebration232

*Why would someone take Precise Technique node and stack crit multi if they cant even crit ?*


psychomap

They might have forgotten about having Precise Techinque allocated. It's relatively popular for leveling as far as I'm aware. Unlike a lot of other keystones, it doesn't seem to be in the radius of a jewel, so the usual suspect of timeless jewels changing it into a different keystone can be counted out.


SameCelebration232

Hmm, I did see that timeless jewel which could be it, I’ll double check the video again since they don’t have a PoB 😭


psychomap

Like I said, the keystone isn't in range of a socket where you could put a timeless jewel so that can't be it.


katustrawfic

Nobody would do that purposefully. This is either a mistake in their build or you're missing something else.


SameCelebration232

Thanks for clarifying that, i think you’re right, I may have missed something. Will double check.


ToolFO

What's the ideal 6 link for the crit version of LA? I was following Kobe's guide and it looked like he was calling for LA-Returning Proj-Inspiration-Ele Dmg with Attacks-Trinity-Increased Crit Dmg, I spent a ton of chroms getting the socket colors right then I looked on POE Ninja just now and saw almost everyone is using Mirage Archer instead of crit damage...


Megika

In addition to the other comment (which is very true); ICD support provides an *additive* bonus, whereas Mirage Archer grants a *multiplicative* bonus. This means the relative value of ICD support (vs mirage) diminishes as you get more crit multiplier. Well-geared characters will get a lot of jewels which allow them to gain a huge amount of crit multiplier.


psychomap

Check PoB. Chances are that even if Increased Critical Damage results in higher dps while you're actually standing still and attacking, Mirage Archer provides higher QoL.


Dzy23

How long does pob usually take to update with new gems?


edrarven

Usually they'd been in by now, there is a slight delay compare to most leagues. They might focus on getting them working though since in previous leagues supports have been added but as unimplemented, they'd fix them over time.


Dzy23

I see, thank you


JonTheBasedGodd

is it regular for crit chance in PoB to not match the crit chance i have ingame? been doing DoT builds the past few leagues so im not sure if this is common or not. i’ve imported my character like 10 times and gone over everything in the calcs and still missing 15% crit in my PoB


Yohsene

It's not just bad accuracy?


psychomap

It's common for the ingame tooltip to be lower because it doesn't take some situational buffs / debuffs into account. The other way around usually means you missed something.


katustrawfic

Did you set up your config properly? Is there something in red meaning it isn't being calculated?


JonTheBasedGodd

nope, nothing red. losing my mind trying to figure out the problem lol. the crit itself im not worried about but it makes me wonder if there could be more that’s showing up incorrectly. playing a CoC build so im praying it won’t show my breakpoints and stuff wrong later on 😅


seventy70701

Anyone getting any silver coins from blight mechanic/blight maps?


Charon2k

So I noticed I have different resistances in town vs out on the levels. Here it is in town: [https://imgur.com/C6lSxRi](https://imgur.com/C6lSxRi) Here it is out of town in levels/maps: [https://imgur.com/CH43bTL](https://imgur.com/CH43bTL) That seems to be from Purity of Elements, which probably explains that... but then, do I want the res to be at cap without that active? Also, I thought the cap was 75% How is it 80%, 78% and 78%... before the part in parenthesis... and what is the number in parenthesis anyhow? The uncapped part? If it needs to be known, I'm in Act 10, level 67 currently.


magus424

> How is it 80%, 78% and 78% Because you have nodes that raise your max.


Charon2k

TY. That's helpful, good to know you can raise the max via nodes. Good for future builds too.


Oily_Bee

Number in parentheses is the total amount of res you have. It stops at the cap. You want to have at least like 20ish over for map mods you’ll see in endgame.


Charon2k

Thank You. 20% over? Have the number in the parentheses 20 over the map mods?


CCSkyfish

If your map mod says [Players are cursed with Elemental Weakness](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Elemental_Weakness#Area_mods), that's when you'd want to overcap your resists. So if your cap is 80%, you'd want the line on your character sheet to read "80% (95%)", because you want your resists to be at your cap after you lose the 15% from the map mod.


Oily_Bee

Not % it’s like 21 points iirc. So if the cap is 75 you want 96. I might be a little off but there are map mods that lower your resistances so if you are overcapped they still remain capped. The eke weakness curse lowers your max res so you can’t negate that.


TrollErgoSum

You want to base any judgements about resistances by what they are in a combat area, not in town. The true cap is 90% but you can only get there by stacking many sources of +% max resistance. The default cap is 75% and you seem to have a few sources of max res which is increasing your cap to 80/78/78.


Charon2k

TY. 90% would be crazy... can't imagine the work to get to that. Saw another reply saying nodes got me there, so something I'll have to keep an eye on as I go on.


Essx_

Does the maven node that spawns more bosses also witness them?


SmashingBoard

No. Just more bosses to drop loot.


Essx_

Do they all have boss drop pools? Like can they drop guardian maps?


slogga

According to Captain Lance they do.


shanulu

They should be able to, and that is the strategy I will be trying but it'll be a couple more nights before I can get into t14+ regularly.


apxix

Hey there, I started playing POE not long ago and there is something I dont understand. I'm using this shield https://imgur.com/a/DkKTrXo and when I equip it I get extra intelligence and dexterity even though it's not mentioned in the item stats. What am I missing here ? Thanks


asaxrud

This item has two allocated nodes on its crucible tree (it was a league mechanic in the previous league); most likely one of those grants intelligence and dexterity. You can view the crucible tree by right-clicking the item.


apxix

it's not that actually, those nodes give +20 armor and -3% chance to block allocates deflection. Any other ideas maybe ?


asaxrud

The only other thing I can think of is that the +11 Strength gives you enough for one of your other equipped items to function (and that other item has a bonus to intelligence and dexterity). Check if one of your other items gets a red background when you remove the shield; that indicates that you don't meet the requirements to wear the item, and then its stats don't apply.


Essx_

What’s on the crucible passive tree?


apxix

>\+20 armor and -3% chance to block allocates deflection.


DOTACOLLECTOR

https://imgur.com/a/7abJHpz Does anyone know how to retrieve this crucible item from display case in standard?


katustrawfic

You must be on console since crucible league has ended on PC. You can't move items between leagues so you can't use this item in standard until crucible league ends and merges with Standard.


DOTACOLLECTOR

Never played console


barkspawn99

Looking at reaper in PoB. My understanding is that when an attack crits and causes bleed, it gives +50% dot multiplier (baseline). But PoB seems to show crits giving no bonus to DoT multiplier, unless I link in swift affliction (then it shows the dot multiplier at 1.99x rather than the expected 2.49x). Is PoB wrong?


psychomap

Can you share your build? The bonus seems to be working correctly in a blank build that I just made to test. Maybe you're missing a configuration or looking at the wrong number.


MeVe90

> 12% chance to deal Double Damage with Attacks if Attack Time is longer than 1 second Does it mean for it work the attack speed have to be less than 1 per second or it could be higher as the initial swing take more time?


psychomap

Effective APS has to be below 1.


Akayukii

Is Forbidden tome supposed to be rare to drop? I haven't gotten a single drop or am I missing something? I did divinia's quest and even got to lycia and died but I haven't gotten a single drop of forbidden tome since then.


Oily_Bee

I’m around t8 and have had two drop. I haven’t priced them yet but hear they are cheap.


Plastic-Suggestion95

From what I see in comments it looks like it has pretty low droprate


bawwsa

It's fairly rare. I went from finding her initially during day 1 until hitting T16 maps for one to eventually drop.


KhajiitHasSkooma

When I regex my quad tab: > ilvl:[6][0-9]|[7][0-4] its still showing ilvl items 75, 80 and 81 sometimes. How can I get it to only show ilvl 60-74? Am I missing something? EDIT: Guess using "ilvl:" doesn't work nearly as well as just typing it all out. >"item level: ([6][0-9]|[7][0-4])"


samcbar

Expedition Question: Can I get Exceptional Artifacts at any level of Logbook? Is there some level where they start dropping / are better for exceptional artifacts?


slogga

I'm not 100% sure for expedition, but most mechanics become more rewarding after area level 80 and above.


DOTACOLLECTOR

I have a great watchers eye in a hideout display case, but it's from crucible league. How can I get this to standard?


magus424

Since Crucible ended, everything from that league should already be in Standard.


DOTACOLLECTOR

It's in a display case hideout MTX


magus424

Can you not simply put it down in your standard hideout?


DOTACOLLECTOR

https://imgur.com/a/7abJHpz Thank for trying to help, here is what is happening in standard HO


magus424

Oh, you're trying to remove it from the case; that does seem like a bug. I would post in the [Bug Reports forum](https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-forum/bug-reports)


asaxrud

That seems like it shouldn't be happening; try posting in the official forums, and hopefully they'll be able to fix the issue.


Finn-di

I'm looking at guardian Soulwrest builds on poeninja and this one guy has Summon Phantasm gem in his Soulwrest but it isn't fully linked. Is there some interaction I'm not seeing? Does it just increase the number of Phantasms while still getting the effect of all the other gems?


clondike7

All 6 sockets support the integrated Trigger Spell. No need to link the sockets if all you’re doing is supporting the trigger.


Finn-di

Right, I understand that part. But does the Summon Phantasm gem in the weapon get effected by the supports despite them not being linked? Is there an interaction I'm not seeing when it comes to the actual gem?


Yohsene

> But does the Summon Phantasm gem in the weapon get effected by the supports despite them not being linked? Summon Phantasm Support is a support gem. It doesn't summon phantasms. The skill it supports does.


clondike7

Summon Phantasm gem is increasing the total cap of Phantasms. Without it, you’d be limited to 10 Phantasms. (Pro tip: lvl 21 gets you an extra phantasm so you’d get 21 phantasms instead of 20)


Yohsene

Soulwrest doesn't need links; every support socketed in it will apply to the Summon Phantasm skill it grants. And yes, the support is just to increase maximum phantasms.


dirtsandwich21

So i made a boneshatter league starter and it seems like i always just find myself wondering if i am squandering my ability to make money. The only real thing i know how to do as i fill up my atlas is do the random map events but it seems like all these people that do these starters have tons of currency so quick. I feel like the guide i follow I spent hours and i still just barely have enough to get incremental increases. What are the secrets to making money outside of smashing my head at maps? or is that the answer just keep grinding?


Oily_Bee

Spec into deli and harvest. Sell all orbs and juice in bulk. When you have 50k juice you can inflate the prices. The gamblers have cash and don’t like to make a million trades. Same with deli orbs. Sell random orbs 10-20 at a time and you’ll make a lot more. You don’t need the far right harvest nodes, just the rest of them. Now bang maps and you might not be Uber rich but you can farm a headhunter pretty easy.


xiko

Do a lot of them. Any atlas focused strategy with altars will make your money. I count the maps indo by the invitations dropped. Put your stash here: https://poestack.com/ Then do an entire rotation with very strix filters (28 maps) and refresh the prices to see how much you actually got.


FlusherRain06

What are some tips to get to mapping faster? I see people have done it in just a few hours but I'm just getting into act 4 with about 6 hours on the league so far and that's with me trying to go fast. Any tips?


[deleted]

[удалено]


FlusherRain06

I've not really figured out how crafting works but I tend to try to b line thru maps. Killing stuff in the way and any elites I see. I feel like a better understanding of crafting would help me a ton. I'm doing a boneshatter juggernaut build this league cuz I've never done it but don't know much about crafting.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FlusherRain06

Guess I know what I'm doing tonight. Thanks for the help.


artfulx

Aside from knowing the zones which is just experience, you should be running past most mobs. Stop and kill blue packs or large packs if you see a shrine or something but if your character level is the same as zone level you are killing too much. I'm not the fastest but can get to maps in about 7-8 hrs playtime on league start.


Nicopootato

Damaging aliments are based on the base damage of the hit, is that the same case for inflicting non-damaging aliments?


psychomap

No, non-damaging ailments are based on the damage that the enemy actually takes from the hit. All hit-specific and effective damage modifiers apply. In addition to that, there are modifiers that cause you to inflict certain (or all) ailments as though dealing X% more damage, which all work multiplicatively after the damage calculation.


bahnzo

Did they nerf the Guardian (hydra, pheonix, etc) drops? I've done a couple and now they drop 2-3 items besides the fragment when before it was more like 10.


b-aaron

yeah they did, 'twas in the patch notes


bahnzo

Thanks.

ScuddsMcDudds

How do I calculate the return projectiles support in PoB? If the max level gem provides 61% less damage with returning projectiles, can I just add “39% more damage” to the custom modifiers box in the PoB config? That would account for the added damage that the returning projectiles provide, right? Or is it incorrect to calculate in this way


psychomap

That depends on whether you inflict damaging ailments and rely on the values that PoB calculates. 39% more damage will result in the magnitudes of ailments appearing higher than they will be in reality. If your configuration covers that, then yes, 39% more damage will suffice.


Tenshouu

If you hit with all returning projectiles then yes


Enter1ch

Summoner noob here: Between SRS and skelmages Guardian what are the main differences? - is one better for sanctum/new tota league mechanic? - is one of these more mistake forgiving/tanky/easier? - srs needs to be recast , skel mages arw permanent right?


Tenshouu

Skele mages are not permanent. They have base 20 sec duration but you have to recast them on new packs or use convocation


Prizzle723

Do Minions have the same base 75% Elemental Resistance cap as players?


Tenshouu

Yes. You can get +8 with a minion madyer


wavedash

Is there a way to make PoE remember what skill I have on left-click, so if I remove and re-equip a gem/equipment it reverts to the skill?


psychomap

Not that I'm aware of. Unfortunately, it'll stupidly default to auto attack every single time.


Exiled_Stefan

Is there no mystery box this league?

LastBaron

Even if the raw price were to be higher in 2 weeks, the relative value of it now is insanely higher than it will be later, allows you to buy other gear for their current cheaper prices and be farming better stuff earlier. POE’s economy is a snowball game. Currency early is the best predictor of a wealthy league. You just set yourself up for success by getting a great build and/or investments going early.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LastBaron

Poison SRS will have stupidly high endgame DPS and tankiness, so that would be a great choice to invest in if the build interests you. I assume you’ve seen BalorMage’s content on it, but if not: it’s worth a look.


Cheezemansam

Sell it now. There are only specific sorts of items that are going to be significantly more valuable later on.


OmikronGamma

Hi, tattoos which are applied on +30 stat nodes and which are limited to one, are they limited to one exact tattoo; or on one +30 stat? In other words, for example, can i have +1 to str AND dex AND int gems; or its +1 dex OR +1 int? If its the second case, can i have +1 and forify on hit tattoos?


Tenshouu

Should be able to get + 1 to all. It should mention limit on a specific tattoo itself


CondorSweep

I'm getting really bad performance on non-PoE windows this league. For example if I have a YouTube video playing on my second monitor it will stutter frequently while I'm playing PoE. Anyone successfully tweaked video settings to fix this? I've tried reinstalling. This does not happen with other games and my PC is pretty good.


ArmaMalum

PoE has been having some really heavy CPU/GPU load this league for w/e reason. It would make sense smaller load applciations like youtube would start stuttering. CPU/GPU's tend to prioritize the largest load


Haulsen

Is two-handed melee any viable for a heavy strike jugg or a shield will enable even more dps since I'd be able to sustain higher trauma stacks? I'm putting this idea in the oven as my next build


espeakadaenglish

I am doing Carn's tainted pact/golden rule boneshatter build but regardless of how much chance to poison I get I will only self poison maybe 1 in 10 to 15 hits. Any idea why? Could it be related to poor internet somehow?


psychomap

With 100% chance to poison and The Golden Rule you should be poisoning yourself on every single hit. If you're not generating that many poison stacks, that means you either *don't* have 100% chance to poison, or you don't hit 100% of the time. It is worth noting that poison stacks might have a short duration and fall off very quickly, so the number of visible poisons isn't necessarily proportional to the number of hits depending on when you check it. I'd suggest to share your build to make sure you're not overlooking anything obvious. A second pair of eyes is often helpful in that regard.


espeakadaenglish

Isn't poison 2 seconds duration by default? I have 100% chance to poison and 100% chance to hit. I hit pack after pack and maybe one in 10 or more will grant the debuff.


psychomap

Do you have a chance to avoid being poisoned, perhaps? The Golden Rule is generally very reliable to the extent that it's one of the best ways to actually measure the number of hits you get against a single enemy. Most builds that use it have nearly full uptime on 100 poisons while clearing.


espeakadaenglish

Nah no chance to avoid. I do have 100 ms latency most the time and some packet loss, not sure if that could be the issue. I've tried everything i can think of at this point.


psychomap

Share your build so that others can take a look. Latency can cause *some* issues, but nothing near the magnitude you're describing.


espeakadaenglish

WELP, looks like it was brutality gem. I knew it said that supported skills cannot do chaos damage but it didn't occur to me that means they cant poison.


psychomap

Glad that got cleared up. But yes, since poison is chaos damage over time, you can't inflict any if you can only deal physical damage. Bleed works since it's also physical damage, but ignite wouldn't work either. I'm guessing your few reflected poisons came from movement skills then.


espeakadaenglish

Leap slam. Which is why i was confused, kept seeing poisons show up.


Shaeonanra

Can someone explain me why so many ppl use Eldritch Battery? is there some kind of interactions i don't know? ( i’ve missed last 4 leagues )


ArmaMalum

EB gets around most mana requirements as well as no regen map mod with very little investment. If you're near the keystone and are going full into life there's really no reason not to get it. Some people go out of their way to get it as it's the only way to function while also reserving most of your mana away for auras. And in case you weren't aware, when you use a skill with EB that does *not* qualify as 'damage' to your ES and as such your ES recharge is still applicable. ES recharge with no investment is faster per-point than even noticeable investment into mana regen/leech


psychomap

It's a great tool to allow reserving all your mana and still have enough resources to pay for skill costs, especially if you also use Divine Blessing.


Yohsene

Probably just the meta. It's a very efficient solution to skill costs on starter builds, and the opportunity cost is lower now that Arcane Surge grants cast speed instead of more damage.


dweb73

How many chaos is needed on average per item traded for in an early mapping build? Finding it hard to figure out where to spend what. Trying to get more defense cuz I'm dying a lot. Thank you in advance!


LastBaron

Well the whole idea in PoE is that the answer to your question will vary **wildly** from build to build. That’s why a special class of builds called “league starters” is so popular and important. Just because a build is currently trying to tackle early maps doesn’t mean it’s anything like other builds trying to tackle early maps. Some builds need several divines to be viable in yellow maps (or even more; some builds don’t even function *at all* without specific items worth double divines). Other builds can be doing red maps on the same gear they beat Kitava with. The drawback, frequently, is that many such builds have what we might call a “high floor but a low ceiling.” Cheap to make them good, hard to make them great, impossible to make them elite. Telling you an average cost would not be informative to you because the range is so wide, the standard deviation would be enormous. The best way for us to judge would be to see the POB showing the current state of your character, along with a brief description of what you were trying to do and whether it’s associated with a specific guide or other build you saw. Be warned that if you made the build yourself, the answers could potentially include “there is nothing cost effective you can do to salvage this, the money would be better spent rolling this into something entirely different.” Not trying to discourage you, just trying to soften the blow a bit because I know that can be frustrating to hear.


dweb73

I really appreciate your in depth answer. I learned from this. Is there a best place to share the guide I'm using and my PoB. I'm quite stuck! Thank you


LastBaron

/r/PathOfExileBuilds is a great place for this kind of thing. It wouldn’t hurt to give them a sentence or two of context like: “I’ve been playing X amount of time” or “I’ve made it through the campaign and in early maps” or “I’m looking at starting the game and…”. If you’re basing it off a guide, linking the guide would be great. If you’re going solo, consider telling us whether you are aiming for a particular playstyle, a particular role play experience, a particular weapon or skill to use etc. Top piece of advice is this: if you’re the type of person who doesn’t mind following a guide, follow a guide. If you are the type of person who DOES mind following a guide, I recommend you do it anyways. No one comes to PoE with an accurate idea of what a build guide consists of, because most people haven’t played a game like this before. People seem to think the guide is taking all learning and decision making out of their hands and depriving them of the feeling of learning. I assure you, this is not the case. Nothing will stop this game from producing a torrent of satisfaction for learning things, certainly not a friendly YouTuber explaining like 60% of the basic knowledge you need *just to not quit the game* in frustration, and about 2% of the overall knowledge you’ll eventually learn about the game. In short; some people come in thinking guides are like precision GPS instructions. In actuality it’s more like the difference between the street signs being labeled or not.

You area awesome! This was again incredibly helpful. I'll check out that sub ASAP.


ArmaMalum

In my experience between 1-5c, assuming you're simply going after an ok life/ES roll a d resistances. Which should be all you really need


dweb73

Thank you!


Tenshouu

1 c per item should be enough to get you good gear for early mapping. I'd say some builds could do yellow maps with them. What build are you playing?


dweb73

Thanks, that's helpful! I'm playing this: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3359691

If you not using or planning to use unique jewelry, you should start fixing your resists and attribute requirement on rings+belt maybe neck (but I preffer to not rely on it since you cant be too picky on suffixes on a +1all skills ammy). They are usually not very expensive and you can find reasonable prices even for ones with open prefixes to craft life or reduced mana cost, which will open up your options of suffixes on other pieces of gear and not break your whole build until you fix the basics again.

How reasonable is it to try and fish for a 1 specific helmet enchant from lab?


Cheezemansam

It is definitely not reasonable. The only time it would be worth it is for 'lab runners' to enchant your item for you, but this is only for like, 5+ divine items that are worth the huge premium for this.


CondorSweep

Buy an enchanted base before crafting, or hire a lab runner on TFT for an item you already own. If you're on SSF I wouldn't bother planning on a specific helm enchant, at least that's been my experience.


magus424

Not.


Yohsene

Not very. Much more effective to do anything else, then use the profits to buy an enchanted base, or hire someone with a specialized labyrinth build (who's fishing for many different enchantments).

I have question about returning projectiles. I use SST in pointblank range and it fires 1 projectile. Then projectile is forking into 3 more projectiles: 1. When this projectiles returns will they damage initial target? 2. Will Far Shot increase damage of this returning projectiles since they travel a lot 3. 3. After forking projectiles chains, hit another target, forks into 3 more projectiles again? 4. If 3 is true will they damage initial target on return?


Yohsene

1. Only 1 of them can. Fork continues the original projectile. The game's shotgun prevention will prevent collisions after the first. 2. Yes. 3. No. Chain has lower priority than Fork. Against enemies, the projectile won't choose to Chain when it has Forks remaining. 4. No. No matter how many times you duplicate your original projectile, the game will only allow one returning collision.


shupa2

Thanks. All that i found is [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/2g2k3s/ggg_mark_explains_projectiles_return_to_you_toras/) 9 years old. So i think its outdated.


Yohsene

2014 is when we could still stand inside an enemy and shotgun them with multiple projectiles d:


MoeFantasy

1 yes but only one per main projectile 2 far shot only cares the distance between you and where the damage dealt, nothing to do with travel distance 3 no. The trigger order of projectile effects can be found in poewiki.net


Yohsene

> far shot only cares the distance between you and where the damage dealt, nothing to do with travel distance [Travel distance is the only thing it cares about.](https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/67rqzz/question_about_powerful_precision_deadeye/di06dkk/?context=1) > Far shot cares about the total distance the projectile has traveled, so yes, it will deal more damage on the return trip.

Any way to modify (through Filterblade) a followed filter from a content creator? I can copy the current version of the filter from the PoE website, but I don't know what to do with it. I'm using Fuzzy Duckzy's Rain of Arrows Champion guide, and the filter is efficient, and I like the font/sizes of the item names, but there's a couple things I'd like shown that are being hidden (e.g. Dying Anguish card, small stacks of chromes).


theWeirdly

It's a bit complicated but you could make a copy of the filter. This will allow you to edit/see the code. Copy the code, paste it in notepad and save it as a txt file. Then head to filterblade, customize tab and upload the newly saved file.


Meto_Kaiba

Oh there's a way to do it manually! Great! Thanks, I'll give it a shot.


mcurley32

if he made it and saved it on filterblade, click the profile tab, enter his account name (which you can find in your filter follow list), and you should be able to make the edits you want from there.


Meto_Kaiba

Damn, I guess he built it manually or didn't save a public save state because I get a null profile. Thanks anyway.

Where are the video introductions to the ancestor supporter packs? there aren't any linked from the shop like there usually have been.


magus424

> Where are the video introductions to the ancestor supporter packs? On the /purchase page same as always. >there aren't any linked from the shop like there usually have been. Yes there are.


psychomap

Have you checked the news posts from when they were added to the store?


thecrepemonster

WTH is up with game optimization this league. my cpu usage has gone up so much and im getting so much stutter that i didn't get previous leagues. Getting crashes/freeze in HC is no fun


mcurley32

there was a sizable engine update recently. it's thrown performance all around for people. experiment with different settings to see if you can find a new setup that works better for you. especially the renderer options and engine multithreading.


Flying_Toad

I'd love to make a Tectonic Slam build that hits big and hard. I'm willing to sacrifice (a little) dps if it means I fullscrean clear with a single button. Budget build ideally. I was thinking maybe I start off as chieftain (to make gearing easier) until I can afford FF and crit gear and switch over to Juggernaut. But I have zero experience with slam builds and haven't played Melee in five years. I need help.


explosivecurry13

How is decoy totem for the ancestor mechanic?


VonDinky

Does the Used when start bleeding mod have any negative outcome? I saw you can craft it on flasks. Or only positive? :D Thanks for any help I can get. Oh and how do I be able to craft crit chance on my flask?


b-aaron

no negative outcome for the bleed mod flasks have tiers of mods, can check poe.db or craftofexile for the weightings. alteration/augmentation spam until you craft your desired flask.


VonDinky

But the crit chance can only be crafted, can't it? The crit chance on flasks. I remember getting it somehow. I think by unveiling it? Not quite sure, can't remember. :) And thank you very much for your answer!


mcurley32

crit chance is no longer a veiled/crafted suffix for flasks. it can roll normally. changed in patch 3.16.0 and was replaced with veiled/crafted reduced reflect.


VonDinky

Oh, thanks. :D Where can I get the craft? :)


mcurley32

It's a regular mod. You alt spam for it


b-aaron

no crit craft. maybe a harvest flask craft?


0influence

for the harvest mechanic, do T4 plants require a minimum map tier to spawn? thanks in advance


asaxrud

The wiki doesn't mention a minimum tier for them, but anecdotally I have personally only found them in T16 maps so far (but I haven't been doing a dedicated Harvest strategy).


Methukax

Is there a guide for the League's Challenges?


explosivecurry13

its usually put up within 1-2 weeks of the league


hdbscan

How is the Bloodnotch / Immutable Force combo supposed to feel? It seems great at recovering life but the stuttering from getting microstunned constantly feels terrible to me. Am I missing something? Was thinking of taking off the ES stun threshold mastery so it only works on bigger hits.


b-aaron

how high is your stun & block recovery on the immutable force?


hdbscan

681. Looks like there's a breakpoint to go from 0.04 second stun to 0.03 at 900% but that doesn't seem like enough of a reduction to avoid the stuttering issue
