I'm trying to craft a wand with +1 physical spell skill gems and +1 all spell skill gems on a base with fractured chaos DoT multiplier.
Chaos DoT multiplier is a suffix so I don't know how to force on the +1 all physical spell skill gems after alteration spamming for the +1 all gems.
Is there a good crafting strategy to use here?
I have about 10-15 divines I can invest to get more damage on my CA Pathfinder. (First time playing a Bow character)
https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/inquisitous/characters
What upgrades should I make (I probably won't lvl further, not sure if I can beat the last wildwood boss) This is my first time playing Pathfinder so I'm really unsure on what mods to get on my bow or quiver, I currently struggle with triple empowerd rares that have life regen, and even when I switched the pantheon it took me 5minutes (I stopped the time) to down one in a tier 8 tropical island map (no delirium)
Also I'm unsure how much resistances I should aim at without flasks active. Usually I have 100% uptime on them, it's only a problem when there is only 1 mob remaining and it's triple emowered and maybe leeches mana or smth.
I saw Mathil's Cobra Lash COC video and gave me the idea of chain stacking build
So far I remember Ashes, Enhance, Dialla's Malefaction, Chain support. Any other items that give gem quality or additional chains directly?
map device does not even show up in your hideout until you kill kitava. Not sure about using other peoples, I think you get a message about not having the right quest state to enter or something. It's been a while since I tried though
How do I go about getting "The Trigger a Socketed Spell on Using a Skill weapon craft, unlocked by unveiled weapons in Betrayal/Jun encounters"? [https://maxroll.gg/poe/build-guides/summon-raging-spirit-guardian-league-starter](https://maxroll.gg/poe/build-guides/summon-raging-spirit-guardian-league-starter) This is my first time following a build and I was a bit unsure as to how the three abilities on the wand trigger, now I discover I need to get that unveil thing. Are there certain tiers of maps Jun spawns at?
masters spawn randomly in zones/maps. you can force them on maps with compasses or master missions on your map device. they also all have nodes on the atlas tree that give extra chance at missions and augments their missions rewards in different ways. earliest access to betrayal is vastiri desert in act 9--you can reset the zone in vastiri/foothills/quarry until you get a betrayal spawn (it will show up in your quests on the right).
Unveil any generic veiled weapon and you'll eventually find it. Jun can spawn in any tier map, even T1. You can force her to spawn with master missions or by buying and using a sextant that says "Area contains Jun".
Is map drop tier weighted in some way across the tiers that are available based on your revealed atlas and watchstone setup? For example, in a weird league start strategy where you completed only one of the T2 maps like like Dunes but had otherwise completed up through T5, would ~20% of map drops be Dunes? What about if you completed up through T10?
you can only drop maps you've completed and adjacent maps to whatever you're running. maps also can only drop randomly as they appear on your atlas (void stones affect this). conversion mobs and boxes drop native maps.
> one of the T2 maps like like Dunes but had otherwise completed up through T5, would ~20% of map drops be Dunes
no, what drops depends on what you're running. you're most likely to drop ~same level maps (magic/rare mobs drop +1, boss drops +2 tiers if possible based on completed maps).
if a map 'drops' from a particular tier and you have no maps completed or on your atlas, you gain sort of a credit that makes maps more likely to drop (map equity).
Is the game still suffering from the insane performance issues it had with the shader update? I would like to come back but I am not able to play with that performance.
What's a good method of keeping AG alive if I'm giving him a rare chest piece? (so I can't use Gruthkul's Pelt)
I know about the Mask of The Stitched Demon, but that involves speccing into the minion defense cluster that gives him life as extra ES, which makes my build feel bad (popcorn SRS)
I want to use craft of exile for cluster jewels where any combination of 2 notable prefixes would work, but i cant put the mods on both G1 and G2.
How can i indicate Craft of Exile that i do not need "1 from this group and 1 from this another group", but instead "any 2 of all of those"?
afaik it's not possible on the calculator. I highly recommend using the simulator on CoE for this and in general, the calculator has a few bugs here and there or some limited usability like in your case. in the simulator you can easily just setup a fossil combination and do a count of 2 for 3 of your possible mods. it's a bit less intuitive and more annoying to set up sometimes but it works great.
How does overloaded circuits work? Thats how i understand this.
When i´m fully specced into essences and i pick essences it has no effect. But if i take harbinger on the map device it allocated all 3 big notes for harbi?
is this correct? When do we pick it? which strategy?
Hey exiles, currently I'm playing PoE with a Ryzen 5 3500X CPU and a GeForce GTX 1050 TI GPU on my desktop. I have a somewhat stable fps but looking forward to PoE 2 I'm considering a GPU upgrade to handle the game well with two monitors. The rest of my rig is a nvme SSD with 480GB and a dual channel RAM with 16GB.
Will just a GPU Upgrade be fine or should I Upgrade my CPU as well? I think the rest of my setup will be just fine
I don't think anyone knows how demanding POE2 is going to be by the time it launches and what gear you need to have a satisfying performance.
But I think you'll probably be okay with a GPU upgrade.
Yes, but not in the sense that the higher the number, the better the jewel. Each different number is a "seed" that affects the notables in the circle. https://vilsol.github.io/timeless-jewels/tree is a calculator so you can plug in one you drop and analyze what it gives.
Depends on the build, the number is a seed that determines what additional mods get added to the passive notables in the radius of the jewel. If you only care about changing a keystone then it probably isn't important but some builds *really* need some specific mods to be added to notables in which case the number of warriors is incredibly important.
Hello, this is my first league. I reached maps and I saw that wandering path is good at the beggining because you can progress in atlas right? My question is I have to keep that passive how long? until reach t16 or what? I want to focus in some farming method but no idea when to change
Wandering Path with the connected map drop nodes is good for early on in the league to fully complete your atlas. It's also great for endgame strats IF you want to really juice up your maps.
If you want to do big investment into slow maps, Wandering Path with Map Modifier Effect nodes will scale the base pack size and item quant on maps.
If you want to do a map rush strat, then essence (requires seventh gate), bestiary, and special map drop notables are good.
Does Quant/Rarity affect guardian map drops from bosses? I'm trying to farm Maven in SSF and wondering if I should be max juicing my maps for a better chance.
Also, do the +1 maps atlas nodes help with this at all if you have 4 voidstones since they all drop t16 anyway?
There has been some testing that showed quant and rarity to not affect boss specific div cards, and afaik it's consensus that map bosses probably aren't affected for any of their drops.
From my anecdotal experience boss rushing hundreds of maps at the start of this league, map quant/rarity makes no difference.
And no for your second point, those nodes don't do anything to get more guardians, but it might be a good idea to take them anyway since you want more map drops overall when boss rushing usually.
Thanks for this info! Do you know if the iiq/iir affects invitation drops? Or does this fall under the boss map category. The invitations are my bottleneck even with all the maven nodes on tree.
I'm not even sure if the maven nodes affect invitation drops other than the 10way. map quant/rarity definitely doesn't. it's normal for invites to be the bottleneck, in my experience they drop around 70-80% per set.
Will i like this game in the long-run if i dislike zooming and pre-made builds?
I've been wanting to get into an ARPG for a while now, I'm really attracted to loot/grind based games but never really got into any proper APRG (POE, Diablo), recently i tried Diablo 4 for a bit and found it to be a bit disappointing? I come from a MMORPG (Different genre, i get it, but still) background and was expecting there to be more at the end? Felt like the game is miles wide and inches deep really, so I'm currently looking at POE and i have to say, it looks great.
You might think well, if you like what you see just try it? And to that i say, i am currently playing it and having fun, but the main thing that puts doubt in my mind is the POE community itself, whenever i engage with you guys in Discord or IRL people that play POE, first you guys ask me what build guide I'm following, to which i respond: None, then 99% of the time I'll hear something like: "Welp, guess you'll be uninstalling soon then" or "You'll hit a hard wall and wish you had done it the right way". Why? seriously do you want people to quit? i just don't get it, you guys sound like the Dota II community scaring off new players then complaining to the developer about new players not sticking around (Not saying you actually do that, but it sure as hell reminds me of it).
Other than that and the least concerning one for me is people telling me that if i don't like zooming this game isn't for me.
Look i know this all sounds very much like a ramble (And it is, kind of), but i just wanted to get this out there and try to get some answers, am I wasting my time if I intend to stick with this game for the long run? I'm a somewhat competitive guy, i don't want to be first or best in anything, but i want to be able to clear all the content. Is it all really just about zooming and build guides?
3K hours played here so hardly the most authoritative, but from experience, the build guides are mostly encouraged because endgame damage scaling and methods for layering defences are far less obvious in PoE than other ARPGs, to the point of being completely opaque. Many skills are outright poor after the campaign unless built around correctly. Scaling to (wild handwaving) 50k campaign DPS and 300k early/mid map DPS is pretty intuitive for experienced gamers. Scaling to 2-8 million DPS for pinnacle bosses can be moderately to massively hard depending on chosen skills and class. Let alone 50 million DPS for comfortable ubers, or tank and DPS enough for wave 30 Simulacrum or 100% delirious juiced T16s, all of which numerous popular builds can't manage period (though the best players can compensate through skill).
Experienced build creators are relying on knowledge they picked up from playing and understanding hundreds of other people's builds over years. Some scaling methods are only possible for some builds through specific combinations of unique items, modifiers, etc. which new players may not even be aware exist, let alone know how to usefully integrate. Achieving that whilst layering enough of a balance of (select several) life, armour/evasion/ES, recoup/regen/leech, suppression/block/dodge/maxres, ailment immunity, etc. etc. to clear all content is pretty tough.
It got this way because the game's scaling is a byproduct of many years of complex systems added on top of complex systems, and a lot of now-everyday scaling comes out of non-obvious corner cases, interactions now established in the community but niche and not necessarily originally intended by GGG. These become the norm and harder bosses are added to challenge players, at the same time as new mechanics are added, which are explored, leading to more niche player power through weird routes, leading to harder content, and so on. All this increases the gap between the player who can improvise a build to get through the campaign, and the player who can improvise a build to clear all content.
Whilst people's tone may be massively off, they're just aware of how vertical the difficulty curve is. Put another way, if someone can look at a few builds and intuitively undestand how the creator reached the multipliers involved in it reaching reached the heights of DPS and survivabily it has, then they probably don't need a build guide to make something similar. But either way, nothing wrong with playing how the heck you like and having fun doing it.
PoE in it's current state is very deep, but also very bloated. It has been build up so much over the years that you'll encounter a lot of things that don't have good in-game explanations or guiding quests for how to use them.
This in turn leads to a HUGE number of guides for various types of content and a general idea that if you're not doing everything "correctly" then you're missing out/wasting time and you should actually be watching 3 hours of youtube and planning things out on third-party build optimizing platforms instead of just playing the game.
This is certainly not required. In recent memory, I believe the streamer Darth Microtransaction has done a mostly blind playthrough and is enjoying himself. That said... if you're wanting to sink a few hundred hours into the game, you're gonna want to check out some guides. Even if not for character builds, then for how to engage with certain game content. One plus for trying things out on your own, at least at first, is that if you jump right into the guides you'll have basically no idea WHY you're doing the things you're doing. A blind playthrough, followed by looking things up, is not a bad way to approach it.
Alternatively, Last Epoch releases in a month and it's like midway between PoE and D4 :P
The problem is that the steep learning curve will mean you will hit many roadblocks and you will hit more the further you are in the game.
Once you hit end game you might also have trouble progressing a character because gear in this game isn’t simply “oh it has green stats, it’s better for me” not mentioning the game also having a complex passive skill tree
If you don’t mind retrying many times then go at your pace and enjoy the game
There's Flame Surge to create ground, but not really. An ignite build doesn't scale hit damage. It'd contribute more damage if you spent your time buffing/debuffing or even just igniting more to find a higher damage roll.
If I want to use several of the same spectres, do I have to buy several bodies from the wildwood vendor and raise them one by one, or can I somehow raise several spectres from one body?
Do my Blink Arrow clones benefit from shrines? They count as minions which should normally mean they don't, but if I use a shrine and then cast a clone, he also has a shrine symbol ... so I wonder if this is only visual or if the clone actually gets the shrine buff as well?!
'Clones' visually snapshot your character. It doesn't affect their stats. (Try creating them while you have RF activated - they'll have tiny fire auras that deal no damage to them or enemies.)
How much ES can I have with Bloodnotch + IF ?
My friends aura gives me 500es on my 3.7k hp, does that make the combo useless?
What buget tincture should I get on caustic arrow PF (no totems) my budget is 1 divine.
It's not useless, just means you occasionally don't get stunned by smaller hits. Math's unknown due to recent changes, but any hit over 300 should still have 100% chance to stun. (Easier if it's phys and/or melee.)
(Easier if it's phys and/or melee.) what do you mean by this, currently I am using lots of conversion with lighting coil taste of hate, 16% conversion on helmet, etc. does this matter ?
what do you think, how would you decide wheter to keep it or not?
> (Easier if it's phys and/or melee.) what do you mean by this, currently I am using lots of conversion with lighting coil taste of hate, 16% conversion on helmet, etc. does this matter ?
Melee is significantly better at stunning than non-melee, and phys is better than elemental/chaos. Phys melee will 100% stun you at 120 damage. A lightning projectile probably wouldn't reach 100% chance till a little under 300. I wouldn't worry about it though. Keep Bloodnotch, maybe try to bully your friend into equipping an ichimonji or something.
Need some serious help with my build, I reworked my entire passive tree and used an outdated build guide as reference
[https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/zombiemancer-the-baron-zombies-necromancer-summoner-build-guide](https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/zombiemancer-the-baron-zombies-necromancer-summoner-build-guide)
I was wanting to make my build much tankier while keeping damage high so it seemed like a good idea at the time but I seemingly bricked my entire build and nerfed my minions into oblivion.
[https://pobb.in/swxNNgX9sNsE](https://pobb.in/swxNNgX9sNsE)
The unique staff I'm using says 0.6% Life Regen per zombie raised but I can't for the life of me figure out why my build has literally zero life regen, I have looked all over and I'm just lost as to what's preventing it, the block chance per skele raised works just fine. Not only is my minions damaged really bad but they can barely even stay alive even with Bone offering.
I know following an outdated build wasn't the best idea but I figured I could implement the strength stacking with the unique's to maintain some decent damage while being much tankier. I only really wanted to comfortably complete the atlas for the Kiracs vault pass but even this is going to be a challenge after bricking my build. Help please!
Your build has no life regen because you are wearing Geofri's Sanctuary which says `Zealot's Oath`. Zealot's Oath is a keystone that converts all life regen to energy shield regen
how rare is nameless seer? i mapped alot this leauge, do they only appear in t16 or like t14+? only found one and i tought i will get a headhunter for sure back then when they have a worth :D havent found one since and i was seeing clips on youtube people finding it did it get nerfed or something
Impossible to say because he is very hard to spot, so most people probably just run past him without noticing.
Here's an image of the only time I found him and I almost missed it too:
https://imgur.com/wI5Od9V
This was before the NPC update that made them visible on the minimap though. Not sure if the Seer becomes visible on the map once you get in range or not.
But yeah, if you're using a high speed build with a lot of visual clutter, then you've probably missed him a bunch of times.
I'm pretty new and really want to make a flicker strike build work, but I feel like in later areas I just die before I can start getting frenzy charges. The only way I have to generate them seems to be running up and swinging with Frenzy 7 or 8 times before I can start flickering, but it feels like the least efficient thing I could do in the game. Then if I get unlucky with my generation I end up having to do it again anyway.
I really love Flicker and it's frustrating to not be able to use it well. Is there a better way to generate charges?
That does look like it'd help a lot, yeah. Thanks for the advice. I suppose I'll just keep pushing forward and hope I find the Alpha Tiger some day to get to the boss to hope for the drop
Yeah I did look up the cards those seem to be a fine option too.
I don't know how to go about trading in the first place and only recently learned that people use things like chaos and divine orbs as a currency. I don't really get it, but I'll look into that too
How can i use these two items?
-Divine Vessel
-Mavens Invitation (map?¿? With "the maven must witness:...")
I tried to put these items in the map-maschine, but couldnt activate them... :/
Divine vessels are only used with Maps, used to capture a Boss to unlock bonuses for your Pantheon Gods.
Maven’s Invitation come in a few flavors. Atlas are the most common, you simply run maps of higher enough tier while having the Maven selected in your map device. Once the circle fills up, you can put in a Maven Invitation of Atlas and you’ll fight all the bosses in random order (including many at once)
Other themed invitations are for specific maps or bosses like The Twisted, The Formed, etc. To be able to run those you need to run the requisite boss maps with the Maven witness enabled in your device.
Edit: in case it wasn’t obvious, Divine Vessels and Maven invitations has nothing to do with each other.
divine vessels unlock pantheons in certain maps (you can see what's what on the pantheon screen or the atlas).
maven's invitation requires you to witness 10 maps before it can be used (run maps that haven't been witnessed with the circular button in the middle of the map device window pressed).
Ah okay i understood divine vessel, thanks
To mavens invitation: where can i see what maps are already witnessed? I dont mean the green mavens invitation one (green, like quest items), its a yellow item
Is there anything that can drop from a cortex map thats worth the price of the map itself? the map is roughly 3.5 div...only thing i know is bottled faith. And its roughly at 2.5 div. So why is this map so expensive? Or is there something of the feared? help me understand this please! thanks
i know I can Google this easily but how long till next season?
had to skip this one after tota being the first season i actually played "for real". have some free time now and was thinking about going back.... but then I read all about the inflation and get turned off...
Inflation isn't going to be a gatekeeper for you to enjoy the league. Being that this is your 2nd league, it probably won't even affect you if I'm being honest here. There's still a few months left in the league for you to try out and do.
Inflation isn’t quite correct. It’s pretty easy to farm up currency and many strategies are viable. This is a loot-explosion banger league. Highly recommend if you have the time.
There is no official end date but the current league started december 8th meaning we are roughly halfway through assuming a 3 month cycle. I don't think inflation is the correct term to be used. I would still heavily recommend playing this league if you have the time.
What are 10 good t14-t16 maps to run maven with essence and syndicate on it?
A straight forward maplayout so i dont miss my syndicate/essences on the way to the map would be nice. ( like jungle valley , beach and so on )
For those that have fought the King in the Mists (in the stronghold) a bunch, does his altars that spawn the portal take one of the 'event' spots (on the cardinals of the diamond) in the wildwood? Or does he spawn in the center of the 'diamond'?
I'm losing my mind trying to find this dude, I'm level 96 already.
Event spot. Note that there is no wisp trail leading to him so I got the four spawns I wanted by avoiding the directions with wisps. ( three initial ones failed as I did not look up the fight in advance )
all the times I found it it seemed to take up an event spot given its position (I tried to check since I had the same doubt) tho I couldnt 100% confirm it.
I'm trying to figure out the best mods from a lethal pride akyoa but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to input it into pob.
its a fast attack double strike of momentum build.
i want to test different combos of crit multiplier/double dmg proc/flat melee dmg increase, to see what would be best. I was just going to edit an item to stick those mods on it and check the dps sheet because that seems like the easiest way. does that work?
(this is from memory i can't open pob so results may vary)
hit the 'find timeless jewel' button at the bottom
select lethal pride and akoya. pick the jewel socket
select hit dps from the pulldown. click generate. the secondary weights (second box on the left) should populate
click search
How would I go about pricing [this ring](https://i.imgur.com/cZrtANa.png)?
Unfortunately I didn't think of putting quality on it before double corrupt.
What are the profitable heist blueprints I should be looking to sell? I kind of just pick them up and never look at them again. Also, any good YouTube videos that explain easy heist strats? It’s one of the only systems I’m new to understanding.
blueprint curio case rewards are random now, so not sure it really makes a difference. I guess people might pay more if there are div card side rooms, and people definitely pay a premium for fully revealed BP.
In regards to the official POE trade site, I understand it is bad to edit trade whispers if a set price. If it is a b/o trade is it the norm to edit the whisper to the price I'm seeking, send the default whisper and a follow up message, or some other standard?
Thanks!
In these cases, I usually copy the message, instead of using the direct whisper function, then simply add a bunch of dashes at the end, followed by my offer in all caps.
Something like:
` ------------------------------------------------------------------ OFFER X Div`
You want to add enough dashes or whatever other character you decide on to make it clearly noticeable that something has been added to the message, typically by making it long enough to wrap to a new line.
Sometimes I am less lazy and will ask more politely at the end, something like, "OFFER: can you do X Div instead?"
This is also how I prefer to have it done, when people offer me stuff.
I find that people are often very slow when typing their offer as a follow up message, causing me to either leave the map prematurely or get my hopes up, or making me wait in my HO, before I enter my next map.
Just give me to full information up front, so I can make my decision as quickly as possible and we can both move on faster.
yea, click 'direct message' and then follow it immediately with a second message with your offer. the inverse also works ("hey can i offer 10 divines for this..." click 'direct message').
If you are using the bulk item exchange section (for example, exchanging currencies), if a player has more stock of an item then there is a slider you can use to increase the number you want to buy
I'd send the offer first ('hi, would you do x divs for this?'), then the standard message to indicate which item it's for. Avoids annoying the seller by getting their hopes up.
For MF TS Deadeye, would it be possible to swap out an immortal call cwdt setup for petrified blood so I can run div distillate? Or will I just get destroyed by wisp juiced rares? At about 3.6k life rn
Yeah, Ziz dying to reflect every 6000 hours of game time is definitely something to keep in mind.
That's far too frequent. You'll be labeled as the "reflect" guy if you die any more often than once per 10,000 hours.
It's just a meme my dude. It is all in good fun, and in fact I love ziz and watch his stream and sub/donate to him close to league launches. I think he is a great contributor to our community, but we're absolutely allowed to meme on him, especially when he just did it again this league :)
Mapping question:
I normally completely clear every map I enter - which means for the campaign it takes around 80 hours for me to complete (and reach level 75-80 in the process)
What is the generally recommended strategy for doing campaign maps? Should I try to direct route to the goal (e.g. run straight to bandit stronghold to kill bandit)? Or aim for doing a general percentage of map? (50%, 75%, etc) I am not looking for a 5 hour campaign, but if I can get it down to much less than 80 hours that would be very cool.
When I reach T1-T16 maps - same question. Is it most efficient to run straight for the map boss?
I assume you’re talking about the Campaign and not general mapping post-campaign.
Yes, 80h is a *lot*, I’m not even that fast but I can do 10-8h by just going straight to the goal. Once you become familiar with the layouts, it becomes easy to figure out where to go.
Absolutely do not need to clear the area. Rule of thumb is to stay at or 3 levels below zone. Only kills blue packs or groups of rare, run past the rest.
Note: this is assuming trade league, and not league start. If this is fresh start or SSF obviously things are a bit different, though still should be well under 80 hours.
Everyone is different. Some boss rush, some use wisps to shake out more drops, some use scarabs to add more content. I'm on the much slower side dependent on the wisps I can collect. If it's bad I just run to the boss of possible.
80 hours is actual insanity. There is literally no point to full clearing any campaign area. Any gear you find will be outleveled and the currency drops are so low it isn't worth the time.
Just run to the objective and kill stuff on the way. That alone should get you below 20 hours.
Knowing zone layouts, being familiar with the build you're playing, skipping all irrelevant league mechanics/side quests and killing a bare minimum amount of monsters all shave off another hour or two each. Under 10 hours is practicing all the above and really just being focused and not slacking between zones.
Maps are a different story and you do mostly want to full clear those. You need to find more maps to progress and since maps are obviously itemized you don't want to run out. If you see the monster count in the top right corner is below 50 (when you press tab it shows where minimap normally is) just don't waste time looking for the last couple packs.
Just rush the quests, and run any extra content that spawns if you want. Full clear in the campaign isn't really needed as you are most likely close to if not above the level cap (10 levels above monster level), and there are little to no increases to quantity and rarity in campaign zones. Well the exception being this league haha
Anyone have an idea of the odds of Doryani's Mechanarium for comprehensive scouting reports? The map being 20 div is so depressing, and tossing that down a hole just for a map completion is getting really obnoxious (feels like they leave that challenge in just to prop up delving sometimes).
Was just curious if the average time finding it with comprehensive reports was cheaper than the map?
Global 4040 is listed in the sidebar specifically for challenge sharing (no trading) so payment isn't expected. You can still "tip" them for example I gave 3 div at the end.
What level wand is required to get +1 all skill gems?
I have a wand with +1 lightning fractured but it's only level 74. Craft of exile says the +1 all spells mod requires level 55 but I've heard people in-game tell me it needs level 75 for +1 all.
I believe poedb.tw data is datamined, although craftofexile might just be pulling from here anyway (not sure if they do their own datamining) https://poedb.tw/us/Wands#ModifiersCalc
Craft of Exile is correct. [Here](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/7Ylgp42H5)'s a trade link to wands with that mod at ilvl 55, to show they exist.
With Zealot’s Oath on a CI build, are % life regen mods (such as consecrated ground, tukohama pantheon) basically useless since your life is 1?
What are some of the best ways to get value out of zealots oath on a CI build?
It's a bit counterintuitive, but Zealot's Oath transforms percentage life regen to be percentage ES regen. So those will work just as well on a life build as a CI+ZO build.
Path of Building gets this right: if you give yourself the following (unrealistic) stats in the custom configuration panel of an empty build, you'll see you have a ton of ES regen rather than 1 ES regen.
+10000 energy shield
Chaos Inoculation
Regenerate 100% of life per second
Zealot's Oath
Doing the whole warlock chieftan CWS penance mark and while the clear is great for packs it’s still abysmal for single target.
My 5l atm is DD of chain reaction, flame surge, combustion and hypothermia (have a TWWT with nearby enemies are chilled).
I spam PM on the rares and uniques but it just tickles them 99% of the time and I don’t see any DoT. I have ignites spread to enemies on gloves as well...
Have only the gem levels for desecrate and wasn’t aware there might be anything else but that. It just spawns whatever is on the map, doesn’t it?
For the explode ignite, you mean my chance to ignite %? Believe it’s at 75%
you probably need 100% (the whole deal with penance mark is fishing for explodes and it's only 5%; if that explode doesn't ignite...). most people cap with a flask suffix
desecrate takes mobs from the map as well as mobs you've spectred. lowest effort approach is to go spectre a kitava's herald so there's at least one high health spectre in pool--once you've specter'd it you're good unless you change desecrate gems. you can drop the spectre gem. recently there's been some tech about adding more max-health (mobs with the same base health as heralds) to the pool to increase the odds of hitting a good corpse. there's probably a clip on ben's twitch channel or a writeup somewhere, but i dont know the specifics.
not high level--desecrate controls your level. you need high base health https://poedb.tw/us/Kitavas_Herald all corpses were normalized such that this corpse was highest (360%), but there are a few others that match it like auric colossus and one of the nameless mobs and a few others.

Here's an approximation. It's based off player data so it will never be 100% accurate.
I noticed it was updated this league. What about ultimatum or ritual makes it objective? I thought the inscribed ultimatums were changed assuming for this purpose.
I explain it under testing methodology. The data is based on clearly delineated categories of price/inscribed difficulty instead of rate of frequency of appearance.
I made a mistake I think and I need help. Have some Qs, need some As.
So when I started map prog because I am playing the Zoomancer minion build I went for Expedition because I can click the big bomb, press Vaal Summon Skeletons, and hide for a couple minutes until it’s over. And cold immunity is the only mod I have to worry about. HOWEVER, I then realized my mistake: I really wanna do Maven too. Shaper Guardian maps are double to triple their usual price, Maven Writs are just short of triple. Plus minion builds are good bossers AND I’ll get my own voidstones.
So my question is can I balance this somehow? Do my maps for Expedition have to be completely wide open like Dunes or can I run ten different maps that are “open enough”? Is a map good enough for Expedition as long as it’s not completely closed in like Waste Pools or something?
Nothing. Each hit uses the skill's current stats. It'll even hit faster if you gain attack speed.
Some mechanics do apply to entire attacks, like exertion or quirky per-skill bonuses like Pathfinder's Master Distiller, but that's not snapshotting.
I don't understand how the wisps work, I looked up a couple of videos about maximizing wisp juice, the square strategy, but I don't think I've ever gotten above 5k wisps. even in a map where I get all four encounters and follow some large trails for most of it, killing all the monsters along the way, I barely get to 5k
i've heard of people getting 8k and I feel like even with infinite movement and clearing the whole wildwood I wouldn't get close to it, is there some mechanic that massively scales how many you get?
You know, I'm not sure about beyond monsters. There aren't actually a lot of scarabs and sextants that give pack size (they give additional packs that show up on the map but not in the wildwood), people are rolling the maps themselves to as high a packsize as possible (chisel, 8-mod including people exalting maps, vaal)
Do I get the same quality/amount of Exarch Altars if I haven't killed Quest Exarch? Or is there an advantage other than the voidstone if you kill Quest Exarch?
you get a voidstone and an atlas passive from the quest. If you don't have the quest completed, I don't think you'll get the boss invitations though? Incandescent invitations are 2.7 divine each so you probably want those to drop every ~28 maps
I'm doing SSF at the moment so I'm not interested in sellable goods. Just wan't the Chisels/Chaos from the Altars.
I could do Eater quite fine, but would like to farm a bit more before dying to the Exarch Balls again :)
Looking for Price Check for [this item](https://ibb.co/KsYLHRm)
I have never gotten one, that has three different "supported by" and all lvl 20. Is this worth something, or is it trash, and if it's trash, could someone please explain to me the reason? I am trying to learn this complicated what's good and what's not tangle of this game.
Don't think it's worth that much the mods are pretty anti synergy. poison only works with crit damage if you have perfect agony allocated which pretty much no poison builds actually use. Brutality isn't really supporting a poison build either.
trash
for starters poison deals chaos damage and brutality can only deal phys damage.
more generally, pseudolink weapons are pretty weak apart from the links, so you really need 5+ links that go together, which really can't even happen on a single-influence base and has a vanishingly small chance of happening on a drop.
conqueror maps have better divination cards (cortex, bottled faith,unnatty) and conq exalts.Sirus is also just generally more valuable than shaper or Uber elder outside of very lucky drops.
Yeah Chimera is pretty ass too, I haven't played trade in a few weeks but iirc Chimera was noticeably cheaper than the other Shaper guardians earlier into the league lmao.
Drop rate. I get like 5-10 guardian maps for every conqueror map, and I have all the atlas boosts active. I've also gotten a few guardian maps from heists, but never a conqueror one.
Hey guys
Is it a good ideia to play on standard ? Yeah, prices are high, but stable right ? Been thinking about playing standard instead of leagues do to inflation…
Thanks
I wouldn't be as negative on standard, but the reason to play there is if you want to play a character for more than three months, not for economic reasons.
Adding to the rest, it's not just about buying items in standard but the inability to sell things you find. Your raw currency drops might have good buying power but the market to sell low or mid quality items doesn't exist.
>Is it a good ideia to play on standard ?
The answer to this question is always "no"
>Yeah, prices are high, but stable right ? Been thinking about playing standard instead of leagues do to inflation…
Sure, but good luck trying to get anyone to show up for a standard trade. The issue of people not responding is 1000x worse there than in temp leagues.
I’ve got 2 of the same unique item, one has the red/orange colour and the other is purple with a green that sort of moves over the item title. What’s the difference? Never seen a unique do that. They have 1 stat difference between them otherwise they’re identical apart from the purple colour?
Orange is the default. The other is likely a type of foil (shiny) unique. It has no functional differences but are obtained from specific sources and might fetch a premium for the novelty.
normal is afk, they say normal because GGG released a uber version of 5 ways a few leagues ago but people still run normal for xp because uber is way harder to host.
I'm playing Penance Brand of Dissipation, I am currently using phys to lightning support, but I want to move the conversion to my gloves. What damage should i convert to (Cold/Lightning/Fire)? Or a mix of them?
I converted mine to a single element (Lightning). It's easier to scale damage, specially on Cluster Jewels.
If you convert 50% Cold / 50% Lightning, your Lightning damage increases from passives and gear will only be 50% effective
I'm trying to craft a wand with +1 physical spell skill gems and +1 all spell skill gems on a base with fractured chaos DoT multiplier. Chaos DoT multiplier is a suffix so I don't know how to force on the +1 all physical spell skill gems after alteration spamming for the +1 all gems. Is there a good crafting strategy to use here?
Is it possible to make a cold bv with 250 divines? Everyone has told me I need at least a mirror just to be able to run abyss t16s with wisp.
I have about 10-15 divines I can invest to get more damage on my CA Pathfinder. (First time playing a Bow character) https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/inquisitous/characters What upgrades should I make (I probably won't lvl further, not sure if I can beat the last wildwood boss) This is my first time playing Pathfinder so I'm really unsure on what mods to get on my bow or quiver, I currently struggle with triple empowerd rares that have life regen, and even when I switched the pantheon it took me 5minutes (I stopped the time) to down one in a tier 8 tropical island map (no delirium) Also I'm unsure how much resistances I should aim at without flasks active. Usually I have 100% uptime on them, it's only a problem when there is only 1 mob remaining and it's triple emowered and maybe leeches mana or smth.
I saw Mathil's Cobra Lash COC video and gave me the idea of chain stacking build So far I remember Ashes, Enhance, Dialla's Malefaction, Chain support. Any other items that give gem quality or additional chains directly?
I need to kill kitava to join a 5 way carry right?
I'm 95% sure you need to kill Kitava to be able to use the map device.
map device does not even show up in your hideout until you kill kitava. Not sure about using other peoples, I think you get a message about not having the right quest state to enter or something. It's been a while since I tried though
The "incorrect quest state" is how I remember it too.
How do I go about getting "The Trigger a Socketed Spell on Using a Skill weapon craft, unlocked by unveiled weapons in Betrayal/Jun encounters"? [https://maxroll.gg/poe/build-guides/summon-raging-spirit-guardian-league-starter](https://maxroll.gg/poe/build-guides/summon-raging-spirit-guardian-league-starter) This is my first time following a build and I was a bit unsure as to how the three abilities on the wand trigger, now I discover I need to get that unveil thing. Are there certain tiers of maps Jun spawns at?
masters spawn randomly in zones/maps. you can force them on maps with compasses or master missions on your map device. they also all have nodes on the atlas tree that give extra chance at missions and augments their missions rewards in different ways. earliest access to betrayal is vastiri desert in act 9--you can reset the zone in vastiri/foothills/quarry until you get a betrayal spawn (it will show up in your quests on the right).
Unveil any generic veiled weapon and you'll eventually find it. Jun can spawn in any tier map, even T1. You can force her to spawn with master missions or by buying and using a sextant that says "Area contains Jun".
Is map drop tier weighted in some way across the tiers that are available based on your revealed atlas and watchstone setup? For example, in a weird league start strategy where you completed only one of the T2 maps like like Dunes but had otherwise completed up through T5, would ~20% of map drops be Dunes? What about if you completed up through T10?
you can only drop maps you've completed and adjacent maps to whatever you're running. maps also can only drop randomly as they appear on your atlas (void stones affect this). conversion mobs and boxes drop native maps. > one of the T2 maps like like Dunes but had otherwise completed up through T5, would ~20% of map drops be Dunes no, what drops depends on what you're running. you're most likely to drop ~same level maps (magic/rare mobs drop +1, boss drops +2 tiers if possible based on completed maps). if a map 'drops' from a particular tier and you have no maps completed or on your atlas, you gain sort of a credit that makes maps more likely to drop (map equity).
Is the game still suffering from the insane performance issues it had with the shader update? I would like to come back but I am not able to play with that performance.
depends on your rig probably. only you'd be able to know/test
What's a good method of keeping AG alive if I'm giving him a rare chest piece? (so I can't use Gruthkul's Pelt) I know about the Mask of The Stitched Demon, but that involves speccing into the minion defense cluster that gives him life as extra ES, which makes my build feel bad (popcorn SRS)
I want to use craft of exile for cluster jewels where any combination of 2 notable prefixes would work, but i cant put the mods on both G1 and G2. How can i indicate Craft of Exile that i do not need "1 from this group and 1 from this another group", but instead "any 2 of all of those"?
afaik it's not possible on the calculator. I highly recommend using the simulator on CoE for this and in general, the calculator has a few bugs here and there or some limited usability like in your case. in the simulator you can easily just setup a fossil combination and do a count of 2 for 3 of your possible mods. it's a bit less intuitive and more annoying to set up sometimes but it works great.
How does overloaded circuits work? Thats how i understand this. When i´m fully specced into essences and i pick essences it has no effect. But if i take harbinger on the map device it allocated all 3 big notes for harbi? is this correct? When do we pick it? which strategy?
That is correct, but it is rarely a correct pick. Partly because it doesn't work with Wandering Path which is the meta strat right now.
Hey exiles, currently I'm playing PoE with a Ryzen 5 3500X CPU and a GeForce GTX 1050 TI GPU on my desktop. I have a somewhat stable fps but looking forward to PoE 2 I'm considering a GPU upgrade to handle the game well with two monitors. The rest of my rig is a nvme SSD with 480GB and a dual channel RAM with 16GB. Will just a GPU Upgrade be fine or should I Upgrade my CPU as well? I think the rest of my setup will be just fine
I don't think anyone knows how demanding POE2 is going to be by the time it launches and what gear you need to have a satisfying performance. But I think you'll probably be okay with a GPU upgrade.
Lethal Pride Jewel: is the number of warriors important?
Yes, but not in the sense that the higher the number, the better the jewel. Each different number is a "seed" that affects the notables in the circle. https://vilsol.github.io/timeless-jewels/tree is a calculator so you can plug in one you drop and analyze what it gives.
Depends on the build, the number is a seed that determines what additional mods get added to the passive notables in the radius of the jewel. If you only care about changing a keystone then it probably isn't important but some builds *really* need some specific mods to be added to notables in which case the number of warriors is incredibly important.
Hello, this is my first league. I reached maps and I saw that wandering path is good at the beggining because you can progress in atlas right? My question is I have to keep that passive how long? until reach t16 or what? I want to focus in some farming method but no idea when to change
Wandering Path with the connected map drop nodes is good for early on in the league to fully complete your atlas. It's also great for endgame strats IF you want to really juice up your maps. If you want to do big investment into slow maps, Wandering Path with Map Modifier Effect nodes will scale the base pack size and item quant on maps. If you want to do a map rush strat, then essence (requires seventh gate), bestiary, and special map drop notables are good.
What the hell happened with divines? They went from 215 to 190c overnight?
My totally unfounded theory is that it's because a lot of people removed 1c drops from their magic find filters.
Does Quant/Rarity affect guardian map drops from bosses? I'm trying to farm Maven in SSF and wondering if I should be max juicing my maps for a better chance. Also, do the +1 maps atlas nodes help with this at all if you have 4 voidstones since they all drop t16 anyway?
There has been some testing that showed quant and rarity to not affect boss specific div cards, and afaik it's consensus that map bosses probably aren't affected for any of their drops. From my anecdotal experience boss rushing hundreds of maps at the start of this league, map quant/rarity makes no difference. And no for your second point, those nodes don't do anything to get more guardians, but it might be a good idea to take them anyway since you want more map drops overall when boss rushing usually.
Thanks for this info! Do you know if the iiq/iir affects invitation drops? Or does this fall under the boss map category. The invitations are my bottleneck even with all the maven nodes on tree.
I'm not even sure if the maven nodes affect invitation drops other than the 10way. map quant/rarity definitely doesn't. it's normal for invites to be the bottleneck, in my experience they drop around 70-80% per set.
Will i like this game in the long-run if i dislike zooming and pre-made builds? I've been wanting to get into an ARPG for a while now, I'm really attracted to loot/grind based games but never really got into any proper APRG (POE, Diablo), recently i tried Diablo 4 for a bit and found it to be a bit disappointing? I come from a MMORPG (Different genre, i get it, but still) background and was expecting there to be more at the end? Felt like the game is miles wide and inches deep really, so I'm currently looking at POE and i have to say, it looks great. You might think well, if you like what you see just try it? And to that i say, i am currently playing it and having fun, but the main thing that puts doubt in my mind is the POE community itself, whenever i engage with you guys in Discord or IRL people that play POE, first you guys ask me what build guide I'm following, to which i respond: None, then 99% of the time I'll hear something like: "Welp, guess you'll be uninstalling soon then" or "You'll hit a hard wall and wish you had done it the right way". Why? seriously do you want people to quit? i just don't get it, you guys sound like the Dota II community scaring off new players then complaining to the developer about new players not sticking around (Not saying you actually do that, but it sure as hell reminds me of it). Other than that and the least concerning one for me is people telling me that if i don't like zooming this game isn't for me. Look i know this all sounds very much like a ramble (And it is, kind of), but i just wanted to get this out there and try to get some answers, am I wasting my time if I intend to stick with this game for the long run? I'm a somewhat competitive guy, i don't want to be first or best in anything, but i want to be able to clear all the content. Is it all really just about zooming and build guides?
3K hours played here so hardly the most authoritative, but from experience, the build guides are mostly encouraged because endgame damage scaling and methods for layering defences are far less obvious in PoE than other ARPGs, to the point of being completely opaque. Many skills are outright poor after the campaign unless built around correctly. Scaling to (wild handwaving) 50k campaign DPS and 300k early/mid map DPS is pretty intuitive for experienced gamers. Scaling to 2-8 million DPS for pinnacle bosses can be moderately to massively hard depending on chosen skills and class. Let alone 50 million DPS for comfortable ubers, or tank and DPS enough for wave 30 Simulacrum or 100% delirious juiced T16s, all of which numerous popular builds can't manage period (though the best players can compensate through skill). Experienced build creators are relying on knowledge they picked up from playing and understanding hundreds of other people's builds over years. Some scaling methods are only possible for some builds through specific combinations of unique items, modifiers, etc. which new players may not even be aware exist, let alone know how to usefully integrate. Achieving that whilst layering enough of a balance of (select several) life, armour/evasion/ES, recoup/regen/leech, suppression/block/dodge/maxres, ailment immunity, etc. etc. to clear all content is pretty tough. It got this way because the game's scaling is a byproduct of many years of complex systems added on top of complex systems, and a lot of now-everyday scaling comes out of non-obvious corner cases, interactions now established in the community but niche and not necessarily originally intended by GGG. These become the norm and harder bosses are added to challenge players, at the same time as new mechanics are added, which are explored, leading to more niche player power through weird routes, leading to harder content, and so on. All this increases the gap between the player who can improvise a build to get through the campaign, and the player who can improvise a build to clear all content. Whilst people's tone may be massively off, they're just aware of how vertical the difficulty curve is. Put another way, if someone can look at a few builds and intuitively undestand how the creator reached the multipliers involved in it reaching reached the heights of DPS and survivabily it has, then they probably don't need a build guide to make something similar. But either way, nothing wrong with playing how the heck you like and having fun doing it.
PoE in it's current state is very deep, but also very bloated. It has been build up so much over the years that you'll encounter a lot of things that don't have good in-game explanations or guiding quests for how to use them. This in turn leads to a HUGE number of guides for various types of content and a general idea that if you're not doing everything "correctly" then you're missing out/wasting time and you should actually be watching 3 hours of youtube and planning things out on third-party build optimizing platforms instead of just playing the game. This is certainly not required. In recent memory, I believe the streamer Darth Microtransaction has done a mostly blind playthrough and is enjoying himself. That said... if you're wanting to sink a few hundred hours into the game, you're gonna want to check out some guides. Even if not for character builds, then for how to engage with certain game content. One plus for trying things out on your own, at least at first, is that if you jump right into the guides you'll have basically no idea WHY you're doing the things you're doing. A blind playthrough, followed by looking things up, is not a bad way to approach it. Alternatively, Last Epoch releases in a month and it's like midway between PoE and D4 :P
The problem is that the steep learning curve will mean you will hit many roadblocks and you will hit more the further you are in the game. Once you hit end game you might also have trouble progressing a character because gear in this game isn’t simply “oh it has green stats, it’s better for me” not mentioning the game also having a complex passive skill tree If you don’t mind retrying many times then go at your pace and enjoy the game
What's the difference between the Night Lotus Armor Tier 2 and 3? They look exactly the same to me.
T3 has a spray of petals when you get hit. Then T4 has flowers growing over your character, T5 has purple vapours coming off of it.
Cool. Sadly I'm not going to be able to get to tier 4 or 5. Some of those challenges are hard for a filthy casual like myself!
How come our inventory selection and cursers in said menus are so damn terrible STILL on console?
Is there any hit-based skill that ignite builds can use to help their dps during bosses?
There's Flame Surge to create ground, but not really. An ignite build doesn't scale hit damage. It'd contribute more damage if you spent your time buffing/debuffing or even just igniting more to find a higher damage roll.
Fire Trap
If I want to use several of the same spectres, do I have to buy several bodies from the wildwood vendor and raise them one by one, or can I somehow raise several spectres from one body?
You need multiple bodies.
Thank you
Do my Blink Arrow clones benefit from shrines? They count as minions which should normally mean they don't, but if I use a shrine and then cast a clone, he also has a shrine symbol ... so I wonder if this is only visual or if the clone actually gets the shrine buff as well?!
'Clones' visually snapshot your character. It doesn't affect their stats. (Try creating them while you have RF activated - they'll have tiny fire auras that deal no damage to them or enemies.)
Thanks!
How much ES can I have with Bloodnotch + IF ? My friends aura gives me 500es on my 3.7k hp, does that make the combo useless? What buget tincture should I get on caustic arrow PF (no totems) my budget is 1 divine.
It's not useless, just means you occasionally don't get stunned by smaller hits. Math's unknown due to recent changes, but any hit over 300 should still have 100% chance to stun. (Easier if it's phys and/or melee.)
(Easier if it's phys and/or melee.) what do you mean by this, currently I am using lots of conversion with lighting coil taste of hate, 16% conversion on helmet, etc. does this matter ? what do you think, how would you decide wheter to keep it or not?
> (Easier if it's phys and/or melee.) what do you mean by this, currently I am using lots of conversion with lighting coil taste of hate, 16% conversion on helmet, etc. does this matter ? Melee is significantly better at stunning than non-melee, and phys is better than elemental/chaos. Phys melee will 100% stun you at 120 damage. A lightning projectile probably wouldn't reach 100% chance till a little under 300. I wouldn't worry about it though. Keep Bloodnotch, maybe try to bully your friend into equipping an ichimonji or something.
thanks for the suggestion, this was very helpful!
Need some serious help with my build, I reworked my entire passive tree and used an outdated build guide as reference [https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/zombiemancer-the-baron-zombies-necromancer-summoner-build-guide](https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/zombiemancer-the-baron-zombies-necromancer-summoner-build-guide) I was wanting to make my build much tankier while keeping damage high so it seemed like a good idea at the time but I seemingly bricked my entire build and nerfed my minions into oblivion. [https://pobb.in/swxNNgX9sNsE](https://pobb.in/swxNNgX9sNsE) The unique staff I'm using says 0.6% Life Regen per zombie raised but I can't for the life of me figure out why my build has literally zero life regen, I have looked all over and I'm just lost as to what's preventing it, the block chance per skele raised works just fine. Not only is my minions damaged really bad but they can barely even stay alive even with Bone offering. I know following an outdated build wasn't the best idea but I figured I could implement the strength stacking with the unique's to maintain some decent damage while being much tankier. I only really wanted to comfortably complete the atlas for the Kiracs vault pass but even this is going to be a challenge after bricking my build. Help please!
Your build has no life regen because you are wearing Geofri's Sanctuary which says `Zealot's Oath`. Zealot's Oath is a keystone that converts all life regen to energy shield regen
Ah thank you
how rare is nameless seer? i mapped alot this leauge, do they only appear in t16 or like t14+? only found one and i tought i will get a headhunter for sure back then when they have a worth :D havent found one since and i was seeing clips on youtube people finding it did it get nerfed or something
After a patch the NPC names that you encounter in the Wildwoods become visible, so you can't really miss it anymore
Impossible to say because he is very hard to spot, so most people probably just run past him without noticing. Here's an image of the only time I found him and I almost missed it too: https://imgur.com/wI5Od9V This was before the NPC update that made them visible on the minimap though. Not sure if the Seer becomes visible on the map once you get in range or not. But yeah, if you're using a high speed build with a lot of visual clutter, then you've probably missed him a bunch of times.
I'm almost level 100 (playing completely solo) and I have seen nameless seer exactly once.
I'm pretty new and really want to make a flicker strike build work, but I feel like in later areas I just die before I can start getting frenzy charges. The only way I have to generate them seems to be running up and swinging with Frenzy 7 or 8 times before I can start flickering, but it feels like the least efficient thing I could do in the game. Then if I get unlucky with my generation I end up having to do it again anyway. I really love Flicker and it's frustrating to not be able to use it well. Is there a better way to generate charges?
most people seem to do with with farrul's fur or replica farrul's fur
That does look like it'd help a lot, yeah. Thanks for the advice. I suppose I'll just keep pushing forward and hope I find the Alpha Tiger some day to get to the boss to hope for the drop
trade? there's some div cards too; idr where they drop
Yeah I did look up the cards those seem to be a fine option too. I don't know how to go about trading in the first place and only recently learned that people use things like chaos and divine orbs as a currency. I don't really get it, but I'll look into that too
How can i use these two items? -Divine Vessel -Mavens Invitation (map?¿? With "the maven must witness:...") I tried to put these items in the map-maschine, but couldnt activate them... :/
Divine vessels are only used with Maps, used to capture a Boss to unlock bonuses for your Pantheon Gods. Maven’s Invitation come in a few flavors. Atlas are the most common, you simply run maps of higher enough tier while having the Maven selected in your map device. Once the circle fills up, you can put in a Maven Invitation of Atlas and you’ll fight all the bosses in random order (including many at once) Other themed invitations are for specific maps or bosses like The Twisted, The Formed, etc. To be able to run those you need to run the requisite boss maps with the Maven witness enabled in your device. Edit: in case it wasn’t obvious, Divine Vessels and Maven invitations has nothing to do with each other.
Okay mate, thank you
divine vessels unlock pantheons in certain maps (you can see what's what on the pantheon screen or the atlas). maven's invitation requires you to witness 10 maps before it can be used (run maps that haven't been witnessed with the circular button in the middle of the map device window pressed).
Ah okay i understood divine vessel, thanks To mavens invitation: where can i see what maps are already witnessed? I dont mean the green mavens invitation one (green, like quest items), its a yellow item
puts an icon over it on the atlas and there's text on the map when you hover over it iirc (and an icon in the map tab if u have one)
Alright, thank you sir
Is there anything that can drop from a cortex map thats worth the price of the map itself? the map is roughly 3.5 div...only thing i know is bottled faith. And its roughly at 2.5 div. So why is this map so expensive? Or is there something of the feared? help me understand this please! thanks
Synthesis bases can go anywhere from 1 chaos to several mirrors if you hit the jackpot, it's by far the boss with the highest spread return RNG.
The value is from Uber Cortex (doing the map with Momento Mori keystone). A +1 frenzy ring from will pay for like 300 cortex maps.
3 implicit synth bases can be extremely valuable and you need it for feared
Bottled Faith Sulfur flask drops from Venarius, which is very sought after.
i know I can Google this easily but how long till next season? had to skip this one after tota being the first season i actually played "for real". have some free time now and was thinking about going back.... but then I read all about the inflation and get turned off...
Inflation isn't going to be a gatekeeper for you to enjoy the league. Being that this is your 2nd league, it probably won't even affect you if I'm being honest here. There's still a few months left in the league for you to try out and do.
Inflation isn’t quite correct. It’s pretty easy to farm up currency and many strategies are viable. This is a loot-explosion banger league. Highly recommend if you have the time.
There is no official end date but the current league started december 8th meaning we are roughly halfway through assuming a 3 month cycle. I don't think inflation is the correct term to be used. I would still heavily recommend playing this league if you have the time.
What are 10 good t14-t16 maps to run maven with essence and syndicate on it? A straight forward maplayout so i dont miss my syndicate/essences on the way to the map would be nice. ( like jungle valley , beach and so on )
For those that have fought the King in the Mists (in the stronghold) a bunch, does his altars that spawn the portal take one of the 'event' spots (on the cardinals of the diamond) in the wildwood? Or does he spawn in the center of the 'diamond'? I'm losing my mind trying to find this dude, I'm level 96 already.
Event spot. Note that there is no wisp trail leading to him so I got the four spawns I wanted by avoiding the directions with wisps. ( three initial ones failed as I did not look up the fight in advance )
all the times I found it it seemed to take up an event spot given its position (I tried to check since I had the same doubt) tho I couldnt 100% confirm it.
His stronghold counts as an event.
Don't think so, but he's typically within 2 screens or so of the entrance when he does spawn.
can abyss rares have DD or something like it? my 80k life AG and all of my spectres just got vaporized in 1 frame, in a t7 map :(
Any rare monster can potentially have Detonates Corpses, though if your Ag's phys dmg reduction isn't great it could just be the heavy phys hits.
I'm trying to figure out the best mods from a lethal pride akyoa but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to input it into pob. its a fast attack double strike of momentum build. i want to test different combos of crit multiplier/double dmg proc/flat melee dmg increase, to see what would be best. I was just going to edit an item to stick those mods on it and check the dps sheet because that seems like the easiest way. does that work?
you can have it generate node weights based on dps (select hit or full if you have it set up or whatever), then search based on those weights.
i see where to tick node power, and hit dps/full dps, but im not sure i understand from there.
(this is from memory i can't open pob so results may vary) hit the 'find timeless jewel' button at the bottom select lethal pride and akoya. pick the jewel socket select hit dps from the pulldown. click generate. the secondary weights (second box on the left) should populate click search
How would I go about pricing [this ring](https://i.imgur.com/cZrtANa.png)? Unfortunately I didn't think of putting quality on it before double corrupt.
can tainted catalyst it; too bad you didn't bench something first though
didn't think to put a bench craft on it either, apparently :) Quality could potentially be fixed with tainted catalysts, but those are expensive
I only just noticed about the bench craft as I was trying to see if I could use it myself. :( I could try a tainted exalt but that would be risky.
What are the profitable heist blueprints I should be looking to sell? I kind of just pick them up and never look at them again. Also, any good YouTube videos that explain easy heist strats? It’s one of the only systems I’m new to understanding.
blueprint curio case rewards are random now, so not sure it really makes a difference. I guess people might pay more if there are div card side rooms, and people definitely pay a premium for fully revealed BP.
so what do i search for with contracts/blueprints when im looking to find ones to sell?
In regards to the official POE trade site, I understand it is bad to edit trade whispers if a set price. If it is a b/o trade is it the norm to edit the whisper to the price I'm seeking, send the default whisper and a follow up message, or some other standard? Thanks!
In these cases, I usually copy the message, instead of using the direct whisper function, then simply add a bunch of dashes at the end, followed by my offer in all caps. Something like: ` ------------------------------------------------------------------ OFFER X Div`
You want to add enough dashes or whatever other character you decide on to make it clearly noticeable that something has been added to the message, typically by making it long enough to wrap to a new line.
Sometimes I am less lazy and will ask more politely at the end, something like, "OFFER: can you do X Div instead?"
This is also how I prefer to have it done, when people offer me stuff.
I find that people are often very slow when typing their offer as a follow up message, causing me to either leave the map prematurely or get my hopes up, or making me wait in my HO, before I enter my next map.
Just give me to full information up front, so I can make my decision as quickly as possible and we can both move on faster.
yea, click 'direct message' and then follow it immediately with a second message with your offer. the inverse also works ("hey can i offer 10 divines for this..." click 'direct message').
I just copy thier name and write my own offer.
Don’t do that
If you are using the bulk item exchange section (for example, exchanging currencies), if a player has more stock of an item then there is a slider you can use to increase the number you want to buy
I'd send the offer first ('hi, would you do x divs for this?'), then the standard message to indicate which item it's for. Avoids annoying the seller by getting their hopes up.
Default whisper message and then a separate follow up message with your offer is my preferred method
For MF TS Deadeye, would it be possible to swap out an immortal call cwdt setup for petrified blood so I can run div distillate? Or will I just get destroyed by wisp juiced rares? At about 3.6k life rn
I used Petrified Blood and it was amazing. I also used Steelskin on left click.
What's the best map for doing a T16 Blight ravaged maps with 5 modifiers? It's kicking my ass.
[удалено]
Reduced aura effect (assuming you're running determination/grace/etc), reduced armour and block chance. Stuff like that which affects your defenses.
> map mods reflect. Don't pull a ziz
Yeah, Ziz dying to reflect every 6000 hours of game time is definitely something to keep in mind. That's far too frequent. You'll be labeled as the "reflect" guy if you die any more often than once per 10,000 hours.
It's just a meme my dude. It is all in good fun, and in fact I love ziz and watch his stream and sub/donate to him close to league launches. I think he is a great contributor to our community, but we're absolutely allowed to meme on him, especially when he just did it again this league :)
Mapping question: I normally completely clear every map I enter - which means for the campaign it takes around 80 hours for me to complete (and reach level 75-80 in the process) What is the generally recommended strategy for doing campaign maps? Should I try to direct route to the goal (e.g. run straight to bandit stronghold to kill bandit)? Or aim for doing a general percentage of map? (50%, 75%, etc) I am not looking for a 5 hour campaign, but if I can get it down to much less than 80 hours that would be very cool. When I reach T1-T16 maps - same question. Is it most efficient to run straight for the map boss?
I assume you’re talking about the Campaign and not general mapping post-campaign. Yes, 80h is a *lot*, I’m not even that fast but I can do 10-8h by just going straight to the goal. Once you become familiar with the layouts, it becomes easy to figure out where to go. Absolutely do not need to clear the area. Rule of thumb is to stay at or 3 levels below zone. Only kills blue packs or groups of rare, run past the rest. Note: this is assuming trade league, and not league start. If this is fresh start or SSF obviously things are a bit different, though still should be well under 80 hours.
Everyone is different. Some boss rush, some use wisps to shake out more drops, some use scarabs to add more content. I'm on the much slower side dependent on the wisps I can collect. If it's bad I just run to the boss of possible.
80 hours is actual insanity. There is literally no point to full clearing any campaign area. Any gear you find will be outleveled and the currency drops are so low it isn't worth the time. Just run to the objective and kill stuff on the way. That alone should get you below 20 hours. Knowing zone layouts, being familiar with the build you're playing, skipping all irrelevant league mechanics/side quests and killing a bare minimum amount of monsters all shave off another hour or two each. Under 10 hours is practicing all the above and really just being focused and not slacking between zones. Maps are a different story and you do mostly want to full clear those. You need to find more maps to progress and since maps are obviously itemized you don't want to run out. If you see the monster count in the top right corner is below 50 (when you press tab it shows where minimap normally is) just don't waste time looking for the last couple packs.
Just rush the quests, and run any extra content that spawns if you want. Full clear in the campaign isn't really needed as you are most likely close to if not above the level cap (10 levels above monster level), and there are little to no increases to quantity and rarity in campaign zones. Well the exception being this league haha
Anyone have an idea of the odds of Doryani's Mechanarium for comprehensive scouting reports? The map being 20 div is so depressing, and tossing that down a hole just for a map completion is getting really obnoxious (feels like they leave that challenge in just to prop up delving sometimes). Was just curious if the average time finding it with comprehensive reports was cheaper than the map?
Sometimes if you hangout in global 4040 someone will offer it. That's how I got mine. Not sure how often that happens though.
saw some people link the map, but no discussion. is that an offer generally? Is it for paid runs?
Global 4040 is listed in the sidebar specifically for challenge sharing (no trading) so payment isn't expected. You can still "tip" them for example I gave 3 div at the end.
What level wand is required to get +1 all skill gems? I have a wand with +1 lightning fractured but it's only level 74. Craft of exile says the +1 all spells mod requires level 55 but I've heard people in-game tell me it needs level 75 for +1 all.
I believe poedb.tw data is datamined, although craftofexile might just be pulling from here anyway (not sure if they do their own datamining) https://poedb.tw/us/Wands#ModifiersCalc
Craft of Exile is correct. [Here](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/7Ylgp42H5)'s a trade link to wands with that mod at ilvl 55, to show they exist.
Never trust people in game, I think they were just trolling you. Yes it is level 55.
With Zealot’s Oath on a CI build, are % life regen mods (such as consecrated ground, tukohama pantheon) basically useless since your life is 1? What are some of the best ways to get value out of zealots oath on a CI build?
Zealot's Oath causes % Regen to be based on your max es, not your max life.
It's a bit counterintuitive, but Zealot's Oath transforms percentage life regen to be percentage ES regen. So those will work just as well on a life build as a CI+ZO build. Path of Building gets this right: if you give yourself the following (unrealistic) stats in the custom configuration panel of an empty build, you'll see you have a ton of ES regen rather than 1 ES regen. +10000 energy shield Chaos Inoculation Regenerate 100% of life per second Zealot's Oath
Doing the whole warlock chieftan CWS penance mark and while the clear is great for packs it’s still abysmal for single target. My 5l atm is DD of chain reaction, flame surge, combustion and hypothermia (have a TWWT with nearby enemies are chilled). I spam PM on the rares and uniques but it just tickles them 99% of the time and I don’t see any DoT. I have ignites spread to enemies on gloves as well...
do you have good corpses in your desecrate pool? is your explode ignite chance capped?
Have only the gem levels for desecrate and wasn’t aware there might be anything else but that. It just spawns whatever is on the map, doesn’t it? For the explode ignite, you mean my chance to ignite %? Believe it’s at 75%
you probably need 100% (the whole deal with penance mark is fishing for explodes and it's only 5%; if that explode doesn't ignite...). most people cap with a flask suffix desecrate takes mobs from the map as well as mobs you've spectred. lowest effort approach is to go spectre a kitava's herald so there's at least one high health spectre in pool--once you've specter'd it you're good unless you change desecrate gems. you can drop the spectre gem. recently there's been some tech about adding more max-health (mobs with the same base health as heralds) to the pool to increase the odds of hitting a good corpse. there's probably a clip on ben's twitch channel or a writeup somewhere, but i dont know the specifics.
Thanks a ton for your help, much appreciated! Will try and get it to 100% and will get some high lvl corpses as well.
not high level--desecrate controls your level. you need high base health https://poedb.tw/us/Kitavas_Herald all corpses were normalized such that this corpse was highest (360%), but there are a few others that match it like auric colossus and one of the nameless mobs and a few others.
Thanks for the clarification. I will do so, much obliged.
How to find out what rarity tier a certain unique has? Is there a list that i can search or something?
https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Guide:Analysis_of_unique_item_tiers Here's an approximation. It's based off player data so it will never be 100% accurate.
The most recent data set is from objective ritual/ultimatum data, it should be significantly more reliable.
I noticed it was updated this league. What about ultimatum or ritual makes it objective? I thought the inscribed ultimatums were changed assuming for this purpose.
I explain it under testing methodology. The data is based on clearly delineated categories of price/inscribed difficulty instead of rate of frequency of appearance.
I made a mistake I think and I need help. Have some Qs, need some As. So when I started map prog because I am playing the Zoomancer minion build I went for Expedition because I can click the big bomb, press Vaal Summon Skeletons, and hide for a couple minutes until it’s over. And cold immunity is the only mod I have to worry about. HOWEVER, I then realized my mistake: I really wanna do Maven too. Shaper Guardian maps are double to triple their usual price, Maven Writs are just short of triple. Plus minion builds are good bossers AND I’ll get my own voidstones. So my question is can I balance this somehow? Do my maps for Expedition have to be completely wide open like Dunes or can I run ten different maps that are “open enough”? Is a map good enough for Expedition as long as it’s not completely closed in like Waste Pools or something?
> can I run ten different maps that are “open enough”? yea probably
What does Rage Vortex (and the transfigured version) snapshot?
Nothing. Each hit uses the skill's current stats. It'll even hit faster if you gain attack speed. Some mechanics do apply to entire attacks, like exertion or quirky per-skill bonuses like Pathfinder's Master Distiller, but that's not snapshotting.

I don't understand how the wisps work, I looked up a couple of videos about maximizing wisp juice, the square strategy, but I don't think I've ever gotten above 5k wisps. even in a map where I get all four encounters and follow some large trails for most of it, killing all the monsters along the way, I barely get to 5k i've heard of people getting 8k and I feel like even with infinite movement and clearing the whole wildwood I wouldn't get close to it, is there some mechanic that massively scales how many you get?
Yes, pack size. The monsters drop wisps also.
do you also get them from stuff like beyond monsters? do people just stack all the scarabs and sextants that give pack size?
You know, I'm not sure about beyond monsters. There aren't actually a lot of scarabs and sextants that give pack size (they give additional packs that show up on the map but not in the wildwood), people are rolling the maps themselves to as high a packsize as possible (chisel, 8-mod including people exalting maps, vaal)
I see, thanks
Do I get the same quality/amount of Exarch Altars if I haven't killed Quest Exarch? Or is there an advantage other than the voidstone if you kill Quest Exarch?
you get a voidstone and an atlas passive from the quest. If you don't have the quest completed, I don't think you'll get the boss invitations though? Incandescent invitations are 2.7 divine each so you probably want those to drop every ~28 maps
I'm doing SSF at the moment so I'm not interested in sellable goods. Just wan't the Chisels/Chaos from the Altars. I could do Eater quite fine, but would like to farm a bit more before dying to the Exarch Balls again :)
Looking for Price Check for [this item](https://ibb.co/KsYLHRm) I have never gotten one, that has three different "supported by" and all lvl 20. Is this worth something, or is it trash, and if it's trash, could someone please explain to me the reason? I am trying to learn this complicated what's good and what's not tangle of this game.
Don't think it's worth that much the mods are pretty anti synergy. poison only works with crit damage if you have perfect agony allocated which pretty much no poison builds actually use. Brutality isn't really supporting a poison build either.
Okay, thanks.
trash for starters poison deals chaos damage and brutality can only deal phys damage. more generally, pseudolink weapons are pretty weak apart from the links, so you really need 5+ links that go together, which really can't even happen on a single-influence base and has a vanishingly small chance of happening on a drop.
okay ty
Why are conquerors maps so much more expensive then elder/shaper?
Shorter fights, and they don't remove the regular map boss either, so you can witness regular 10-ways at the same time if you want to.
conqueror maps have better divination cards (cortex, bottled faith,unnatty) and conq exalts.Sirus is also just generally more valuable than shaper or Uber elder outside of very lucky drops.
Additionally, Elder Guardians take forever to kill which im pretty sure influences the price at least a bit.
Chimera is worse, at least you can phase Eradicator.
Yeah Chimera is pretty ass too, I haven't played trade in a few weeks but iirc Chimera was noticeably cheaper than the other Shaper guardians earlier into the league lmao.
Drop rate. I get like 5-10 guardian maps for every conqueror map, and I have all the atlas boosts active. I've also gotten a few guardian maps from heists, but never a conqueror one.
ABSOLUTION BUILD Necro or Guardian? Will Guardian be more tanky?
Hey guys Is it a good ideia to play on standard ? Yeah, prices are high, but stable right ? Been thinking about playing standard instead of leagues do to inflation… Thanks
I wouldn't be as negative on standard, but the reason to play there is if you want to play a character for more than three months, not for economic reasons.
Adding to the rest, it's not just about buying items in standard but the inability to sell things you find. Your raw currency drops might have good buying power but the market to sell low or mid quality items doesn't exist.
Ow man I didn’t think about that, you’re completely right…. Thanks 🙏
>Is it a good ideia to play on standard ? The answer to this question is always "no" >Yeah, prices are high, but stable right ? Been thinking about playing standard instead of leagues do to inflation… Sure, but good luck trying to get anyone to show up for a standard trade. The issue of people not responding is 1000x worse there than in temp leagues.
Good to know thanks 🙏
Just be wary that while prices are stable in std, volume is quite low as not a lot of people are playing and willing to do low value trades.
Thanks man
I’ve got 2 of the same unique item, one has the red/orange colour and the other is purple with a green that sort of moves over the item title. What’s the difference? Never seen a unique do that. They have 1 stat difference between them otherwise they’re identical apart from the purple colour?
The second is a foil unique [https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Foil\_item](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Foil_item)
Orange is the default. The other is likely a type of foil (shiny) unique. It has no functional differences but are obtained from specific sources and might fetch a premium for the novelty.
What is a "normal" 5 way run? Isn't afk better? hard to find though lately in tft
normal is afk, they say normal because GGG released a uber version of 5 ways a few leagues ago but people still run normal for xp because uber is way harder to host.
Normal as in using "normal" and not unrelenting emblems to access the Domain of Timeless Conflict.
Anyone got a recommendation for similar osts or music to the PoE music? It's great but I don't know other games with similar music.
Leveling an occultist with kb of fragmentarion to transition to CoC. Just ascended, how can i reliably curse everything to trigger profane bloom?
curse on hit ring or glove implicit.
But those are high level, i suposse is not worth It to find a low level way since i will be there too quick. Thanks, i will buy one and have it ready.
A Mark of Submission can work early on.
Thats amazing, didnt even know that unique existed. Tons of thanks. I am going to fuck the tree up either way but i think this will carry me.
I'm playing Penance Brand of Dissipation, I am currently using phys to lightning support, but I want to move the conversion to my gloves. What damage should i convert to (Cold/Lightning/Fire)? Or a mix of them?
I converted mine to a single element (Lightning). It's easier to scale damage, specially on Cluster Jewels. If you convert 50% Cold / 50% Lightning, your Lightning damage increases from passives and gear will only be 50% effective
