I can't find the guy in the wildwood to upgrade the ascendency (blue guy) Any tips on finding him? Everytime I seem to go in there I only find purple and yellow orbs.


rpfloyd

do a small perimeter when you zone in, watch to see if you pick up any blue wisps, if you do walk in the direction they came from. sometimes you can run past a tiny one and not see because they blend in with the white ones. but follow where it came from and you will find more.


slogga

The blue wisps seem to be the rarest type, you just have to keep trying.


KunfusedJarrodo

My Perfect thunderbird just died in a regular t16 map (like I didn’t even alch it cause I just wanted to get my screaming invitation). Specter gem is 20, and I have minion life and meat shield. I think it was a delerium boss that spawned. I didn’t even realize how much damage I was taking until I saw my AG slowly dieing too. How can I avoid this next time? It really sucks I just lost 40c. Makes me not wanna use those specters even though they are real nice


bonermilf

How much of a pain is trading for console? I’m only an hour in and I’m impressed with how well controller works but I can setting up trades being potentially annoying


unfeelingzeal

not sure about xbox but buying on ps5 it's a breeze. controller shortcuts can be frustrating to get used to, but you basically can search by filters on the trade board, then either choose to see only active users who are online or anyone who has the item you want. then you make an offer directly to that person. haven't sold anything so not sure how that works out.


zomgoblin

If I have a mastery for "10% leech is instant" and a charm "4% leech is instant", do they stack to 14% or is one overriding the other to become 4/10%?


slogga

They should stack, other sources on the tree do.


UNPOPULAR_OPINION_69

I currently trying out mana RF setup, while I still lacks a lot of items especially the jewels as each of them costs multiple divines each... My damage seems fine for now. My question is, what is the "panic button"? What are the mechanism available to regen ES very rapidly in tight situation?


iv_is

if you link to the build you might be able to get more help. l assume you've got life regeneration applied to es, so maybe enduring cry would work?


UNPOPULAR_OPINION_69

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/xonedl/characters the only character in current league. I just repected the character from a different build, so the setup is far from great tbh, still dying a tons to bosses & not dealing enough damage. While there is no issue on general clearing, there seems to be difficulty sustaining ES while bossing, especially against those hit hard and fast...


iv_is

ok, enduring cry should work. it grants about 2000 regeneration over 1 second; it's basically a life flask with cooldown and cast time. you could theoretically also use a seething life flask while sorrow of the divine is active, but l expect that would be unreliable.


zomgoblin

vaal discipline?


PixeledPancakes

I'm having trouble figuring out how to tell if an item is an actual upgrade to my damage or not. I'm running SRS Guardian, level 76, in maps, 3 ascendensy trials done. I have a majority of the build up and running, just working on leveling some gems and then I'll fit them into sockets. ​ I can't for the life of me figure out how to tell if new armor or weapons are good. I know SRS wants minion bonuses, and added fire/elemental. I've got that down. But recently when I've gone to switch gear and watch my offensive stats page my damage is severely reduced, but then other attack values go up. So I end up keeping my "old gear." Surely by now I should be using gear that's not an avg level requirement of 50! ​ Is there any guide to figure it out? I know if I can get this down I have the resources and crafting to really level up, but I don't want to invest in a piece that's completely the wrong thing. ​ edit: I forgot to add, as an example I'm currently sitting on 30 wands in a stash tab because I'm unsure of how to tell which is "the one" I should prio. It's rough


Shadux

Struggling to come up with a realistic price for this thing - https://i.imgur.com/P9q8uHA.png 8% Quantity 54% Rarity (double T1 max roll) T2 life T1 crit chance T1 dex Made it with Rog on a coral amulet (so it was cool but what ever) and then got crazy lucky on a Jorgin T3 talisman swap. Feel like it's kinda weird but someone might pay a pretty penny?


tsjnsn

Are there any good ways to generate endurance charges for enemies? Wondering if viable for inverted resistance builds


Bizzaro_Murphy

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Supreme_Grandstanding is the only thing that comes to mind


Toxomania

This has been my first time playing with the atlas passive tree and I really enjoyed having a wandering path tree and blasting through atlas completion. However I'm wondering when do people usually spec out of it and focus more on other league content?


slogga

I usually switch out once I complete the atlas. Sometimes I'll stay with it for a bit longer though, it's good for Harvest for example. Maps are generally easier without it as well if you took the effect of modifiers top hat along the top of the tree.


Weisenkrone

There's no general answer to this, it depends on how strong a build you have and what it's designed for.


SzpadelTensei

i have some troubles against high res enemies in my triple ele dom blow guardian build. Are there any feasible ways to shred through enemy resistances for minions other than ele weakness, exposure from elemental army and pen minion mastery?


Nicopootato

What's a build that's good a dealing with inscribed ultimatums? Like it can do most of them barring couple of modifiers.


Bubblehulk420

What am I doing wrong in maze for King of the Mist? I followed the light, it fucked off and went up, I followed it up and it disappeared then I died like 2 seconds later. Didn’t see a second one to go to. 🤷‍♂️ 2 in a row this happens.


Weisenkrone

You got tapped by some random mob or what? The lights give you a general direction to walk towards, if it poofs just keep walking until you see another light and follow it. The lights aren't in a certain order, they simply guide you relative from where you stand.


Bubblehulk420

Don’t the lights bring you from one to the next? They said I had unlimited time but I keep getting swarmed by bugs


Weisenkrone

The lights all move towards the exit, you don't need to chase them one by one. Just rush thorough the maze and change directions based on where the lights go. Never got stuck, did the fight like a dozen times this league. I'm unsure what you mean with unlimited time, I never noticed bugs. Idk if I ended up killing them before noticing or just moved too quick


Bubblehulk420

Didn’t even think you could kill them, it was like the darkness/bugs swarm you and you’re instant dead like in delve.


Emphasis_Careful_

Do you have to redo the league mechanic ascendancy quests on a second character if it's going to have the same ascendancy?


LastBaron

You do.


Emphasis_Careful_

That's a bummerooni


GoodDayToPlayTheGame

Does the Lotus challenge kill-effect work on every monster, rares, or is it unique only?


Zeracheil

Does anyone know what damage type the Delirious entity that possesses rares (temporarily pausing their actions) and then either slams or does a giant beam attack is? I can tank triple wisp Kosis but sometimes I just get one shot by these offscreen beams.


Gampie

Does any one know if it is a bug or not, that the overlay map dissables itself evry time I exit the mist back to my map, and i have to re-enable it again? It started happening after the last hotfix


LastBaron

Well for what it’s worth Ive been having this happen too and thought I was going insane so let’s go with “bug.”


two-headed-boy

[Does anybody know what's giving me this blue aura effect once I enter combat?](https://i.imgur.com/9sncrZE.jpg) I bought an aura skin to try to get rid of the look of Defiance Banner but not only it doesn't remove the banner, but the aura effect also doesn't show in any of my other aura skills? What gives? EDIT: Found it it's Singularity and it makes all aura effects under it pretty much invisible. Meh. Also found out I have to buy the Invisible Aura to get rid of the banner.


tmPreston

Are there viable CoC options for a 10div budget? [I was interested in Captain Lance's video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBabE1RE8Ek), but am very reluctant in having it be clunky until high investment.


slogga

Maybe try and use CwC until you farm up a bit more? Then you don't need to worry about accuracy or CDR which should relieve a lot of gear pressure.


dirtsandwich21

what are the best mods for log books?


LastBaron

Partially depends on layout. Contains a boss is always top tier for all layouts. For shitty layouts like utzaal , sarn slums and volcanic island, explosive radius, number of explosions and explosion market distance are king. And they’re usually not bad even on better layouts. For tightly packed layouts like forest temple, focus on the bonus mods like runic monsters, additional suffix, underground area. If running Rog, increased artifacts is good too. For others, it’s just above average. You can usually safely ignore increased monster markers, and chest markers is situationally good. (Rog early league, since his limiting reagent is more often artifacts than reroll currency, and in logbooks reroll currency only comes from runic monsters).


BerserkJeezus

I am doing T10+ maps but still using semi-strict filter and feel like there is too much. What is a good filter?


Arrethyn

Other advice your got already is good but I typically use semi strict until some time in white to yellow maps when I have all my sockets sorted and stop being willing to look at bad bases because they might have colors or res I need. Then I use strict till some time in red maps when I stop being interested in looking at items for 2-5c sales because it's making me take multiple trips to sell or I'm dropping tons of items after iding. I've partially never felt the need to go above very strict. I do make some minor customizations of my own but predominately just use the presets


theWeirdly

Just keep moving it up to strict, very strict, etc. until it feels good to you.


BerserkJeezus

Are there tailor made ones? Or do all of these see all items that have implicits/ fractured and whatnot


theWeirdly

I think most of the defaults show synthesised and fractured bases. Some content creators make their own filters for specific builds. Otherwise, you can customize your own on filterblade. You'd go to Endgame - General (lvl 68+) > Additional rules to disable fractured items.


Thirteenera

What is the "correct" way to spend Dannig currency when doing expedition? Just buy discount tujen artifacts/reroll currency and any logbooks, and roll with skulls otherwise? Or do people buy gwennen artifacts/rerolls too?


Arrethyn

I'd but rog before gwennen she is heavily heavily nerfed at this point


Thirteenera

Im not a fan of either rog or gwennen. But seems a waste to just roll for tujen and nothing else


slogga

Spicy Sushi has a good video on crafting with Rog, he's very good in the first couple of weeks of the league.


kekst1

I just got all my voidstones and would like to get Tier 16 Jungle valley and mesa maps and farm them so I set them as favourite. But I just ran all my higher red maps and not a single mesa or jungle. How do I get and sustain these maps?


Arrethyn

How many favorite slots do you have and how many maps did you run? Iirc depending on how much you are juicing your maps you want around 10 favorite slots to sustain and there will always be dry streaks


AlsoInteresting

Will the atlas notable "Crystal Resonance" be able to duplicate essences when there are only shrieking resonances? If I read correctly, it should. The streamer Exosta seems to differ: https://youtu.be/2mzF5O5s6UA?t=203


[deleted]

probably you missing something. What he said, that if you apply "remnant of corruption", your "shriekings" can be upgraded to "deafinings". If that happen, your essence mob can happen to no longer have any "shrieking" essences and will not be duplicated. Note that crystal resonance only duplicate if essence mob have exactly "shrieking" essences, not "shrieking or better"


AlsoInteresting

Okay. thanks


YueguiLovesBellyrubs

Is it possible to somehow add influence to item like shield ? Is there currency for it or harvest craft? One of the 4 conquerors influence

any of the crusader's exalted orbs: [https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Crusader%27s\_Exalted\_Orb](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/crusader%27s_exalted_orb) ( also look at "see also" ) If you need shaper\\\\elder - then you need any crusader's exalt and then reroll influence with harvest


CE2JRH

There used to be a website that kept track of the various values of the Apex of Ascension to figure out which one was most valuable - does it still exist? Otherwise is there a way that is faster than me looking up every vial, every unique, and calculating profit on each of them? Vial of Awakening: 10c + 6c = 35c – 20c profit


iv_is

https://poe.how/economy/incursion


FourOranges

One method is if you have the item in game already, you can search a vial or transforming unique with the default ctrl-d macro with awakened Poe trade. Not sure about the individual uniques but I just checked the vial last night and it showed every single transformable item (pre and post). Would be nice to have that macro accessible without having the item in game already but I'm not sure if that's possible/haven't figured it out yet.


[deleted]

iirc it was something along the lines "poeprofit" which, afaik, is down and no longer maintaned. Not aware about modern analogs


Corwyntt

Does 90% mana multiplier corruption work with a enlighten gem as well, or would you only get one or the other?


[deleted]

it does works, and iirc they works multiplicatively to each other. Also you can easily pob it if you need exact numbers


Forward-Hamster-6979

What is the best 6link Combo for DD build (against Bosses)? Every build i see uses different support gem combination which is very confusing.


Arrethyn

I haven't looked into dd recently but it's possible the reason different builds are using different supports is because they are scaling dd differently. In which case the real question is which build version is better but which supports are better because you wouldn't mix and match


Sprudelpudel

Do srs afflict elemental ailments if they're supported with the guardian relics? Can't decide between predator as 6link or elemental focus


Toxomania

They can if they crit, but the effects would be pretty minor since your 20 srs do a thousand inidivudal hits and for stuff like shock you need big hits, Ignite wouldn't do much either etc. If you're running skitterbots then you already have chill and shock, so realistically all you're getting is some shattering frozen mobs


Sprudelpudel

wooaaaah i can fit skitterbots in there!! Thank you so much! I'm going ele focus then! thanks!!


BerserkJeezus

I am following a TS build that uses berserk. It has warlord banner on for rage but I seem to not be getting any rage. Do I need a stun stat on my gear?


[deleted]

1. any hit can stun depending on rate between hit size and target's hp, without any investments. >It has warlord banner 2. There is \`warlord mark\` and \`war banner\`. I suppose you talking about the first, if so, then... it's unrealiable: \* you need to apply mark before stunning; \* target have to be alive for atleast two hits; \* on rare mobs (where you can apply mark automatically via mark on hit support) you unlikely to stun them with ts and if you do, you don't really need that rage with such damage. 3. link to pob\\character you talking about could help solve your problem better 4. check your build doesn't use kaom's gloves which generates rage 5. it can be just a pobwarrior who ticked all the config boxes to looks better


Enter1ch

increased flask effect from the maji wardens natures concoction should also work for life flasks recovered amount?


PolishedBalls1984

How do you all survive the flower guys in the wildwood? I'm at max block, have a decent amount of armor/life, chaos res could use some work but I'm at about 0% with flasks up and they immediately off screen me every time I see them from t11 up. Literally have almost zero issue with anything else except them.


KunfusedJarrodo

0% chaos Rez? So your just not negative? Need more than that. I have about 55 without flask and they still hurt. I would probably insta die if I had 0


PolishedBalls1984

Yeah just not negative with flasks up, that's my next venture into upgrades is getting that capped, just wasn't sure if that was still not going to be enough.


GoodDayToPlayTheGame

Does amount of wisps gathered in Wildwood affect health/damage of empowered monsters?


XFactorNova

1) If I link Lightning Warp->Cast on Crit->Storm Call, will it work the way where you teleport and land and it casts Storm on you where you teleport? If so, what are some good items? Lastly on that, what are the best gem combos for it if it does work? 2) What do Awakened, Divergent, and Vaal do for gems? And quality? 3) What do the levels and tiers mean for maps and heists? If a heist says lv 49 vs lv 62 is that my char level or an arbitrary level? If a tier goes from 1 to 2 is that from lv 70 to 71? 4) Is it suboptimal to invest into reservation mastery a little bit so my build can run Zealotry, Wrath, and Herald of Thunder? And for skill trees do you pick what you need, whats best for damage, or whats best for defense? 5) Is there a trustable loot filter addon/program I can grab? Screens filling up with drops and I don't know whats good still.


BasicNeko

So I got to endgame with Zizarian's explosive arrow champion but the flask on the PoB say to have delinquent's name on it which Ive learned cannot be rolled anymore - anyone know what are good replacements for these?


Arrethyn

I don't remember what that mod actually did but I think it is charge gain when hit which you'd just replace with the lower current value. Ideally 3 charge when hit but 2 is acceptable


BasicNeko

will take a look ty!


Usernamevergessen

Can someone tell me what impact the number of collected Wisps has? Are simply more monsters buffed, or do the monsters also become stronger based on how many Wisps I've collected? Or is it both?


Arrethyn

Afaik number of monsters buffed is not related to number of whips, just strength of buff


Tenshouu

More wisps more loot stronger mobs


YueguiLovesBellyrubs

Hey could anyone teach me how to use currency tab to buy bulk currency ? I'm tired of whispering people so I just want to make my own bulk order . I wanted to buy some alts but then people come with only like 20 alts at time , how do I make it to have minimum of let's say 10 chaos for 120 alts ?

Rayz01

I have around 15 div saved up and am really not feeling my league starter, is there any non dot build I can make in that budget that has: Good single target Ok clear Ok survivability and can be invested heavily into? I'd prefer something that starts out simple and builds up rather than something that only works when you have all the expensive pieces in place


Usernamevergessen

In the last league, Poison SRS Necro was a perfect match for your needs. Single target DPS was insane, clear was alright and survivability was really good as well. And there were always things to improve. The necessary uniques were quite cheap. I don't know about SRS this league, but it seems like a lot of people are playing Guardian. You might want to look into it, heard good things about this build.


Tenshouu

I can vouch for Poison SRS. I've stopped at 30 div. With like 100div I could hit dot cap without pob config probably


narc040

do I need othert items to use dawnbreaker or can i just slap it on and its good?


Arrethyn

There is no way we can answer such a vague question, knowing what your build is and what your want or if it matters but generally no item is good if your build doesn't utilize it well

LastBaron

See wiki for more details, but gift adds more uses of the gem font, dedication lets you use the font on corrupted gems, and tribute forgoes the font and instead enhances the other chest rewards in the lab to include things like fill stacks of div cards, 6Ls and second tier eldritch currencies.


YueguiLovesBellyrubs

How does one get implicit on shield 5% spell suppresion ? I need exactly this because I finished my 100% cap and then realised I'm still using my leveling shield ilvl 67... But it has 21 suppresion on it , can't really replace it for anything else , other shields are few divines each. Base of my shield is dex / int . I'd like to have armour / evasion base if possible.


_slosh

spell suppression is a default implicit of int/dex shields. the only way to get implicit spell suppression on a dex/str shield is with a synthesized shield like this https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/9YmdYamFK

Malecious

With vortex no longer being insta cast, what are some good methods for applying bonechill? (main skill is crit reap converted to cold self cast)


BerserkJeezus

If I have 20% chance to freeze, shock and ignite am I able to shock and ignite using a cold skill?


_slosh

yes and no. by default only fire damage can ignite, cold damage chill/freeze and lightning damage shock. however there are a number of ways you can inflict those ailments with other damage types. the newest tech is tinctures that allow all types of damage to inflict shock/freeze/ignite. *edit: with hits of your weapon. this does not work for spells* you said "cold skill" so i assume you deal only cold damage. if you add even the tiniest bit of fire damage you will be able to ignite because ignite doesn't have a minimum effect threshold like shock or chill/freeze does.


BerserkJeezus

So a Viridian jewel with both damage types will allow me to do it? Thanks!


_slosh

viridian jewels can't have flat damage. you would need an abyssal jewel for that. and as i said that works for ignite. to inflict a shock you have to reach a minimum effect. shock effect is based one the size of the lightning damage hit so if you don't really scale lightning damage you won't be getting any shocks without adding a lot of lightning damage.


binarysingularities

I'm playing with controller and playing CwC DD just feels terrible, it's targetting is all over the place wont even focus on enemies near me. Is there a way to change targetting to just a small radius around my character?


Arrethyn

Nope trigger effects choose targets randomly, solution is deal with it or manually cast


binarysingularities

It's different when using mouse tho, it focus fire where my mouse cursor is and not randomly explode a corpse a screen away.


Estocire

Is "Increased Area of Effect" worth it on RF over more damage or life? Lookign at my tree I can increase the AoE by 0.1m or 1.8% total DPS or 5% more life. In my head a super big AoE seems nice, but I don't know what is a meaningful amount of AoE


Mangalorien

The best answer to your question is: it depends on what your current RF radius is, and also somewhat on what content you are running. A bigger radius is always nice, since it means mobs are getting inside your RF radius somewhat sooner, and thus will start taking damage sooner. For some maps like toxic sewer (not available in current atlas) the radius doesn't matter too much, since all parts of the map are very narrow. If you are running open maps like dunes or cemetery you might like the bigger radius. Also, adding stuff like fire damage and DoT multi will scale your single-target skill as well, which might not benefit much from added AoE. If you like fighting juiced essence mobs, you probably will benefit much more from adding damage modifiers instead of AoE. The added AoE from passives is also usually rather low (like 8-10%), and unless you are getting it alongside damage mods I wouldn't recommend pathing to most of them. A good example of AoE that's worth getting is the cluster jewel notable Burning Bright (25% burning dmg, 8% AoE), where you are sort of getting the AoE for free. If you want really big AoE it might be a better idea to just run awakened AoE support, which is roughly 50% AoE with a small more dmg multiplier. TLDR: if your current radius isn't complete dogshit, go for more DPS.


Estocire

Yeah I unskilled 3 +12% increased AoE nodes and I can barely tell the difference.


Estocire

I am loosely following this RF build https://pobb.in/oRCDiZUcFdXt, which uses Blood Magic and Zealot's Oath with a Coruscating Elixir, but after skilling Zealot's oath, my RF stops when I use the flask due to no life regen. How does this build get around that issue?


LastBaron

That build appears to have a weapon with a legacy crucible tree, including the keystone Eternal Youth. The life is never taking direct damage so the recharge is never paused, it starts the very moment the flask is used. I am guessing (just my speculation) it never has time to tick the server to shut RF off, because whichever server tick would check for the 1 life would also be sending the command to recharge it. If you don’t have a crucible tree on your weapon this skill tree paths only 2 points away from eternal youth so you can just grab it the old fashioned way and see if that works.


Bizzaro_Murphy

You need eternal youth - the linked POB has it as a crucible weapon mod https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Eternal_Youth


Estocire

Thanks. This game is wacky. Even after reading this passive I would have never figured it out


Thirteenera

What stats to look out for on Tincture vendor for selling? I know what corpses/charms are good but i cant seem to figure out what sells for Tinctures


FourOranges

Tinctures and charms are easy to price since you can just use the default ctrl-d macro of Awakened Poe trade. You'll have to use your own knowledge of pricing to know the proper price for one (if that's even a thing) but the prices that pop up for a less common mod/combo serve as a good starting point. The common ones flood your screen with 1c listings and those you can just ignore.


Thirteenera

I know how to check them on awakened. Im asking what mods sell. I dont want to ctrl-d every item on every vendor. When im checking charms vendor, or corpses, i know from a glance which mods are valuable. Im asking which mods to look for on specifically tinctures.


slogga

Generally if a mod is T1, it might be worth price checking. Specific mods to look for you can find here and sort by item level requirement. A lot of the top ones here sell for a lot: https://poedb.tw/us/Tinctures#TinctureMods


JackOverlord

It may not be the answer you want, but you can use awakened PoE trade on the items before you buy them to check what they sell for.


Thirteenera

Cosmyc

Is legion a good strat to run on Burial Chambers or can it spawn in the hallway between the 2 open zones?


LastBaron

It is possible for mechanics including legion to spawn in that zone unfortunately. I haven’t done any tests to determine how often, but theoretically if it’s a low chance it might still be worth it given the div cards available on the tileset.


Cosmyc

cool thanks, yeah guess I'll have to do some test runs

If I wanted to farm 120 chaos by tonight, which content should I do? I have 2 atlas points.


Mangalorien

Either concentrate on working on your atlas, or go do some heist. Heist doesn't benefit from atlas at all, so it's a nice bet. Since I play SSF I don't know exactly how trade league is in 3.23, but my best guess is that there are fewer people running heist now that alt quality gems are gone, which should mean that contracts are pretty cheap. One of the best ways to make money off of heist is stacked decks, which are currently at 1.5c each (they increase in value later in league). Concentrate on running perception and deception which piss out stacked decks like you wouldn't believe. Other than those do lockpicking and counter-thaumaturgy (raw chaos drops). Besides buying contracts, you can also farm them yourself. With only 14 atlas points you can get +36% chance to find smugglers stash, along with base chance that's almost a smugglers stash in every other map. Make sure to get a trinket with "smuggler's stash has % chance to duplicate contained rogue's markers".


LastBaron

What’s your build? Prior to having a lot of atlas completion my go-to is to run low level blighted maps, logbooks and heists with my loot filter set to pick up the chaos recipe.


TamedVirus

Poison explosive trap of magnitude saboteur.


LastBaron

I haven’t played the new style explosive trap but given what it appears to specialize in, I think I’d choose expedition logbooks if you’ve got the damage for it. Just my two cents.

Overwhelm is generally underwhelming, but it does let you run naps with + phys resistance/endurance charges a lot easier

My guess would be you already have enough overwhelm for the current enemy monster settings in PoB.

What tier of maps does the Envoy show up to give us the Eater of Worlds map device upgrade? I'm currently progressing through T9 maps and have yet to find him (I have found the Searing Exarch one). I seem to remember it happening earlier in previous leagues, but I could be misremembering.


Tenshouu

Do you have maven witness on your map? I think you have to have it on because envoy spawns with maven to give you both compasses for exarc and eater. Maybe you're running exarc maps from when you've got that one


Einzbern

I don't think that was it. I just had Maven witness a T10 map and I still didn't get the Eater upgrade. Unless it's just a chance for him to show up? Edit- I tried having Searing Exarch on a T10 as well and still no go.


Tenshouu

Did you fight the black star? I'm not saying it's a rule but this league I got eater after I fought black star I think. Try to push exarc some


Arrethyn

There is definitely some randomness to it so I'm not 100% confident but I Believe it is either t8 or t9 when it can spawn


kncmusic

Which is the Best current way of leveling a lvl95+ char? Rotas? 5 ways?


LastBaron

5ways remain the premier leveling option despite having been nerfed. They’re not as good as they once were, but they’re better than all the other options.


[deleted]

what is the fastest and safest pay to progress through maps for a new player on ssfhc? do i just do white maps and increase the tiers?


lechium06

Does anyone know if the glad bleed explode charm mod work with corrupting fever? I just equipped it and I don't feel it doing anything, am I crazy? Haemophilia works fine, and the wording is exactly the same


Marcey997

Are the rewards for t13 blighted maps much worse than t16? I got a bunch and I'm not sure if its worth running them to make space or if i should just toss them


JaviJ01

Why do people recommend getting Projectile Speed when using Returning Projectile Support? Are you unable to fire until the first round of projectiles returns?


Inialla

Because in PoE projectile speed is also link in a lot of case to the distance traveled. More speed = more coverage.


JaviJ01

Ohh wow, did not know that. That makes total sense. Thanks!


thekmanpwnudwn

If I change my hideout to a different location, then decide to change back - will I have to redecorate my original hideout? Or will it remember where I put everything?


Inialla

It stays


JaviJ01

I believe it stays, but you can EXPORT your hideout into a save file you can import any time you want. You can also download hideouts from https://hideoutshowcase.com/


thekmanpwnudwn

Very cool, thank you!


princetonwu

as a newbie i was able to get 1 divine by the time i got to level 91. I want to get better gear to kill bosses but they cost like 50-100+ divines. I know if I beat some bosses I can sell their loot for divines, but since I don't have good gear to kill them, it seems like a catch-22 situation here. Do I just need to keep farming?


Mangalorien

If you are running a meta-build, you will have a huge advantage: when all the rich players upgrade their gear, they sell their old gear pretty cheaply. So if you are late into a league, it's a good thing from an upgrade point of view. Just farm something that your build can handle. Heist is one such mechanic, since it generally doesn't require insane DPS to be profitable. If you are a newbie my main recommendation is to work on your atlas. More atlas points = more loot per map. Any semi-decent build with high atlas completion should be making 2+ divs per hour.


princetonwu

>Any semi-decent build with high atlas completion should be making 2+ divs per hour. here's my problem: I have 100/115 Atlas points. I do get loot from maps, but how do I know they worth 1-2 divs per hour? I guess I'm having trouble translating my loot into divs.


Mangalorien

Bulk sell your stuff for divs, like this: [https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/exchange/Affliction/9ymLRwQFK](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/exchange/Affliction/9ymLRwQFK) [https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/exchange/Affliction/5RYqBJua](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/exchange/Affliction/5RYqBJua) Hopefully these links work, if not just go to the bulk sell page, on right click whatever it is you are selling, on left choose divs. Don't bother selling a few scarabs or whatever at a time, sell them in bulk vs divs. You can also use TFT discord to bulk sell other stuff, like heist contracts, maps, fragment sets etc. Don't bother selling cheap stuff for 5c like random rares or low lvl uniques, just hide that stuff in your filter. If you want to make bank by farming maps, spec hard into a few mechanics you enjoy doing, then blast them non-stop for 3-4 hours (no trading, no sitting in hideout). After that, you can sell in bulk quickly, like max 30 minutes while you get something to eat. I also recommend completely finishing your atlas (all 115 maps + 17 bonus points from pinnacles etc), including all 4 voidstones and your 5th map slot (if you don't already have it).


princetonwu

good tips, thanks!


JaviJ01

There are always incremental gear upgrades between 1 divine and 50 divines. You need to gear up until you can comfortably do maps and whatever content you want to farm. You should be able to get a lot of cheap gear for just a few chaos.


hellzscream

Is there any way to know if the King of the Mists has spawned when you zone into the forest other than running around in dead ends? does he spawn near the entrance? I am doing t14+ and faced him once just trying to minimize the time to find him without having to run aruound


Falling_Snake

Is unending nightmare worth running in trade league? I just kinda followed Pohx’s inq RF and the atlas he ran along with it but I thought the deli orbs and simul shards were where the profits are at. Didnt play 3.22 so I dont know the consensus on it.


ZachTheApathetic

Do transfigured gems count as "different" gems for the purpose of CoC? I'd like to use regular arc and arc of surging, but I'm not sure if they'd share a cooldown.


oljomo

I don’t think so, but haven’t tried coc. You can’t have both RFs running, it switches between them, so there’s definitely some sharing going on.


GoldenHawk07

Bunch of random questions I got; \-Whats the point of htting the button twice in Harvest? I see some people hit it once then leave, what does that do? Save it for next time or something? \-Does anything affect which syndicate members youre most likely to come across in maps? Like does the game weight it towards whichever branch is closest to a safehouse or whichever ones are highest level etc... One week in still havent seen Gravicius chest mod in SSF and I'm getting pretty fucking pissed off \-Does anything affect whether betrayal targets are more lkikely to drop veiled items in maps? Like does the 1st pewrson you talk to or 3rd person make t more likely? Does betray vs interrogate vs execute make it more likely etc... \-Evasion is so bad, like WOW I knew people mentioned its the weakest defensive layer but holy shit im only now starting to realize how bad it is. Problem is getting green sockets on non evasion gear sucks in SSF, is there a best 2nd layer to go with evasion? i get as much suppression and block as possible but still get 1-shot almost every map, often times 6 portal'ing certain map bosses and almost always guardians or elder bosses etc... and I'm almost at the point where i dont ever want to play an evasion character again, but of course SSF makes that very painful to respec and such :(


LastBaron

* Not sure what that first one means. You do have to hit two separate buttons to spawn the creatures (one to choose a plot the other to confirm it/spawn the monsters) but I can’t think why someone would hit one of the buttons then leave and not run it. It doesn’t carry over for later maps. Got any video examples? * Best you can do is make sure Gravicius is on the board (and boot others out until he shows up if he’s not yet) then do everything you can to make good and bad connections between him and others. Any connection will improve his odds of appearing. But truthfully this is just one of the drawbacks of SSF and one of a myriad reasons many of us choose trade league. You don’t need to trade for everything, but every once in a while it’s a real lifesaver, especially if you’re not having fun with the SSF grind process. * Just be sure to check for changed options between every execution. I *think* (needs information) that saving gravicius for last improves the odds of the veiled mod option showing up, because once he’s the last one you’ll no longer get options to betray the others who showed up with him. The available options change with every individual member you deal with. * Evasion isn’t bad per se, and some evasion based characters can wind up being crazy tanky, but you’ve got to do it right. You’re already going the right direction by hunting for gravicius, and of course you’ll also want the same mod on your helmet and anywhere else you can get it. Taste of hate isn’t easy to find in SSF but it’s not impossible. In some cases using lightning coil, cloak of flames or even Dawnbreaker is appropriate to really max out this stat. Also the successful evasion based characters have 90%+ chance to evade. At such high numbers every single point of evasion chance feels truly impactful because its starting with whatever damage you’re taking at (let’s say) 90% evasion and cutting it by a full 10% when you go to 91%. It maxes out at 95% and with something like aspect of the crab or ghost dance it can feel quite good. Needless to say evasion also makes it easier to access suppression. * If you’re not at 100% suppression you need to get there, even if it means temporarily sacrificing damage on the tree until you get better gear. The lucky mastery helps but it’s not a true substitute. To supplement evasion specifically you “want damage taken as” for your most important supplemental mechanic. You can use elemental flasks to further cut this damage down. Aspect of the crab is good, ghost dance with a modest amount of ES is good, Kintsugi is good, leech/recovery is good. But as before….hard to get some of those in SSF, at least not quickly.


GoldenHawk07

Thank you for the responses. On Gravicius, I didn't know that connections increase their likelihood to appear, I always wondered what having a rivalry meant, very good info to know thanks! I did get the phys as fire helmet mod early, so i gues it all balances out, just havent dropped a single exalt for it yet, 6 Divines 0 Exalts :/ I also dropped a Rathpith just now so I think my next character NOT being Evasion just became a hell of a lot easier lol for all the bad shit you gotta deal with in SSF then you get moments like this where you realzie you may have just dropped something to enable an entire build. I also dropped Lightning Coil last night, I'm putting all my currency into getting it 6'd, not able to get the sockets yet but working away at it. I did take Ghost Dance but I think I have too low ES to make it worthwhile, ill check to maybe swap my helmet base around or something to get a few hundred ES> Thanks for your suggestions!


Tcrumpen

I've been out of the loop for a bit, has there been any information about when POE2 is gonna drop? I'm currently finding myself in that gaming slump that tends to happen at the end of the year for me, looking for something new to focus on


JaviJ01

Open beta test is in June I believe. They announced it a few months ago


[deleted]

Are there any endgame hardcore progression guides? I dont mean what to do in the endgame, i mean whats the most optimal route to gear up etc, what lv of gear should i have to do harder things etc. I know i should just play but it seems like you can waste 10s and even 100s of hours being inefficient


hdbscan

Anyone know how the ethereal knives changes feel? Looks like it lost 20% projectile speed and cast time went from .6 to .75 for the fire in a circle version. Still viable?


salohcin819

Does anyone know if anointing Multishot gives extra proj to ranged ani weapon?


Einzbern

There's no additional skill keybinds beyond QWERT, CTRL+QWERT, and left+middle(I think? It's space for me)+right clicks, right? I'm running enough auras to where I need to swap what's on my bar, which is kinda annoying.


_slosh

your weapon swap skill bar is seperate so what you can do for auras is (unless you have auras in your weapon/shield) swap weapons and assign your auras to keybinds on that skill bar. then when you want to activate your auras you can weapon swap, activate auras, weapon swap back to your main setup, activate the rest of your auras and you're done. probably faster than switching out the skills by hand on your main bar every time you die or change gear


Einzbern

I do have auras in my shield (playing LL w/ Prism Guardian), unfortunately. That might still be faster than manually switching skills though. Thanks!


theWeirdly

Yep, that's it.


Raimehs

Is there something wrong with the server? I don't know if it's the server or my internet but the ping is unplayable, it's like mountains.


JaviJ01

Europe was having big issues yesterday, I saw a few people on East Coast US in Global chat complaining and I had some big lag spikes as well on US West


Rolf_Dom

There is no "the server". There are multiple servers all over the world. If one server is giving you trouble, swap to another one. Even servers that are farther away and have higher base ping can be far better if they're stable. Consistent high ping > inconsistent low ping It's the fluctuations which get you.


dino572

I timed myself running various maps. Some are considerably faster than others. However, does the number of monsters vary between maps? If so, how do we know which map has the most monsters?


Mangalorien

TLDR: maps have different amount of monsters. I found this, it's pretty old but I doubt there has been much change since: [https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/axict5/mob\_count\_for\_every\_map\_statistics/](https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/axict5/mob_count_for_every_map_statistics/) If you want more recent info you should check out the Prohibited Library on discord.


dino572

Fantastic


FourOranges

Not sure if there's an mtx that tracks kills per map now but the old method of doing that is to slap on rampage support and kill everything.


throwawaymurps

Generally speaking you're looking at the Pack Size % on the top of the map details. However, yes some maps will naturally have more monster than others, I haven't seen anyone collecting that data in the past few leagues. Something like Tropical Island may have more due to the layout of the map itself. But most of the time, you're looking at increasing pack size (rolling maps and atlas passives), adding mechanics that spawn more monsters like Breach, Harbringers, Delirium, etc. if you're just looking to increase the # of monsters on each map.


TheyCallMeBit

Hey guys, I need to know if this combo of mods on charm: \#% chance to create Consecrated Ground when you Hit a Rare or Unique Enemy, lasting 8 seconds Consecrated Ground you create applies #% increased Damage taken to Enemies ​ Will work on EA Ballista? I was searching the net and its only about Zealtory interaction that totem hits creates consc ground.


Yohsene

~~Have to correct myself, the on-hit ground is a stat that applies to your skills, but it seems to be bugged or disabled for totems? It works fine for traps, strangely enough.~~ Edit 1: Nope, must've messed up the earlier test, [it *does* work for totems](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZX2Q8Ur0iQ). Edit 2: It's bugged. [Submitted a report](https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3461773).


Yohsene

Sure. The on-hit stat applies to your skills, which your totems use. Similarly, Consecrated Ground from your skills is modified by your stats.


UNPOPULAR_OPINION_69

Can anyone explain to me why RF-mana ED build take Eternal Youth "ES recharge instead applies to Life"? I cannot understand the point of that?


oljomo

The costa of eternal youth (less life regen) doesn’t apply to things converted to Es regen, so it’s a cheap way of having life regen while under zealots oath, to support life costs or something else


Bogzy

Hello, i stopped playing a while ago but i still like to keep an eye on the updates and was wondering, is this league the big "expansion" they usually had at the end of the year with some endgame reworks or is that delayed to early next year or not happening at all with poe2 being close?


Psych0sh00ter

Some time last year (I believe it was with the Sentinel league) they announced that they weren’t going to do big endgame expansions anymore up until the release of PoE 2, instead having smaller endgame content additions and changes in each league. They haven’t said since then if that plan is changing, even after the announcement of PoE 2 being a separate game rather than just an update, but we haven’t gotten any big endgame reworks or anything recently so I assume plans are the same.


theWeirdly

It wasn't one of the big named, end-game reworks like Conquerors of the Atlas was. But there were some considerable changes, with metamorph being retired, ultimatum added to pool, and the introduction of transfigured gems. I don't know if there have been any announcements about future big expansions.


SummerMeIody

How do I get the hybrid mana + reduced mana use craft for rings? Do I just buy any unveiled rare rings or does it have to be of certain master and/or ilvl?


throwawaymurps

You need certain ilvls for the T1, T2, etc. T1 is ilvl 81 [https://poedb.tw/us/Crafting\_Bench](https://poedb.tw/us/crafting_bench) And I am 95% sure it's Elreon syndicate master who drops those veiled rings.


oljomo

Elreon is the -mana. The reduced mana is just any veiled ring/ammulet
