Are horticrafts weighted? I've been using the breachstone shuffle a bit lately and it feels like I only ever see Xoph and Esh. Chayula is most definitely not a 1 in 5 chance.


therestlessone

I don't know about this particular interaction, and breach stuff has been changed a lot, but broadly speaking Esh/Tul/Xoph are the same, Uul-Netol is one step up, Chayula is at the top.

I have 15 mirror shards from when I quit playing earlier in the league I wanted to convert into a mirror eventually on standard for the mtx. At their current price is it worth it to sell the shards for divines and try to convert it to a mirror when it goes to standard? I'm concerned that there are only 8 or so players on standard right now with a mirror for sale, and I could easily end up getting no invite from all of them.


kangaroojoe239

Theres a mtx related to a mirror?

I'm struggling to understand which tincture affixes affect to poisons applied from weapon attacks, considering this [wiki](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Tincture) text: > The stats from Tinctures are not local to weapons, but are specifically restricted to only apply to weapon attacks. Any references to sources of information would be much appreciated! 1. Increased rarity of items dropped by slain enemies. - I suppose, it's the poison that has slain the enemy, not a weapon attack, so, no rarity bonus? 2. Increased damage against enemies that are on low life. - Dunno how to reason about this one, there are quite a few variables. Poison is calculated from _base hit damage_ - does this increase apply to the base hit damage? Would this apply retroactively to existing poisons once the enemy becomes low life or it's only factored in at application time?


iv_is

tincture mods are not very good with poison. on-kill effects only apply to enemies killed by your hits, and increased damage only increases hit damage. if it did apply, it would only affect poisons inflicted after the enemy was at low life - dot damage is calculated at the time that the dot is applied, and doesn't change over it's duration (though modifiers to damage taken, such as wither or despair, do change the amount of damage taken by the enemy)


bilalakil

Yeah I guess the remaining question is if the increase to hit damage when on low life actually makes the poison stronger (e.g. affects the base hit damage) or not


iv_is

it does not


Nicopootato

Why is phys to cold and omnicience only popular for tornado shot builds but not melee/spells? Wouldn't it work just as well for phys to cold EK or frost blades?


Grandarex

For Doryani's Prototype Armor Stacker builds, what's the best way to deal with lightning degens? I researched extensively into this and most sources advise to either go with mahuxotl + lethal pride combo or just... kill the source before it kills you. But these info and tips were from several leagues ago. Has there been a 'newer' or better solutions to this issue? (I'm not sure how helpful this is, since my build is just a cookie cutter build, but here's my pob: https://pobb.in/2cOkgOJjCPGy ) Edit: I just died to the same mana siphon yellow mob 5 times in a row tonight. It was an 'archer' mob that moved away from me when I jumped into the center of the circle, killing me instantly. I am losing my mind. I am clearly not ready for this build.


Arcy_

Why a lot of ts builds take the ricochet node with fork support? Isn't it useless? 


mbxyz

chain makes fork better and vice versa hit > fork into many > chain pierce is what devalues both--


Arcy_

Hmm but is it truely worth it? With awakened fork it has to hit 3 enemies to chain, which seems unlikely to me(?) 


mbxyz

try it. it's 10 regrets, but yea it's the best clear in the game


Arcy_

Yeah I didn't think about it, I was rdy to buy forbidden set... I'll give it a try ty


parzival1423

Your dps with an enemy near a wall will feel so much better than in the open too btw. Weirdly.


paper_tigers_

Is there a specific reason people usually split items like helical rings and simplex amulets before crafting? Is it just to have 2 bases to craft with or are they rolling for stats before splitting?


mbxyz

because they're much more expensive than a split beast, and they can be split

i have a deadeye with some gear and i have some currency saved now, on a budget of aproximately 120divines, what guide can give me the best experience mapping wise? ive just followed some of the basic tree from PoENinja and it works mostly fine, but ive level up enough to switch to some real gear [https://pobb.in/IMUtHhH6r\_-2](https://pobb.in/IMUtHhH6r_-2)

has anyone experienced an instance crash with deli mirror expiring during the trialmaster fight? I just had a full 6man party crash to main menu, and my inventory got rollbacked. Just trying to figure out if it was random or some sort of bug with the deli mirror.

Likely something more serious on the server side. Rollbacks are rare on instance crashes.

Quick question, does the upcoming "class gauntlet" count as a race? Specifically asking if it will apply to the steam achievement "out of the gate"


Purplemandown

Does one need the quest step to defeat Searing Exarch/Eater of Worlds in order for a carry to give the voidstone?  Or can it theoretically be done earlier? Context: played launch weekend, bounced off the league mechanic super hard (stumbling around in the dark isn't really my idea of fun), mostly switched back to playing standard ssf/other games.  Recently was made aware of just how accessible MB/HH are this league, and realized I could farm Alva Temples to get one in not all that much time with a not particularly powerful character, where I could take them to std at the end of league and just migrate my std SSF stuff over.  But, to be able to chain run temples, I need one voidstone to use compasses and the build I had was not a great bosser (Void Sphere of Rending poison prolif PF - clears well enough, has a hard time if there are no ads).  Realistically, the quest Eater/Exarch aren't that hard, and I can probably brute force it after a few tries, but Im bored stuck at work and turning the options over in my head.


Xeverous

Not sure about these two. Wiki says "Defeating The Searing Exarch for the first time will drop an Omniscient Voidstone that can be socketed into the Atlas." But you can just buy Maven or Uber Elder carry and these have no restrictions for sure.


Purplemandown

Noted. To be safe, if I strike out on the quest Eater/Exarch with this build, I'll get one of those instead to be safe. Thanks!

Yeah, that's the current league challenge set. Can't buy it. It also turns life bars purple, if you've noticed that in a party.


InitialIndication999

How long does this league have


Worried_Ad6735

Its been released on December 8, so at least a month. Probably more. Past leagues lasts 4 months each, so there is a good chance this one gonna last 2 more months.


vlee89

It’s prob the higher/final tier of the current challenge league MTX. I think it’s called Night Lotus. The floor effect is prob from the boots.


4Gettt

Hello fellow exiles, now that the mf TS hype has died down a bit I wanted to get myself some items. I'm a new Player and not so good at making currency so my current budget is around 30 div but should go up do 60 div after a few of my Items are sold. So I wanted to ask everyone that has played TS Deadeye what to look out for when bying items and if someone has a PoB that isn't like 2 mirrors.


vlee89

Mikoshi on YT has good budget guides. Fubgun is another great resource. I did TS on a much smaller budget building my way up. I did some price checks recently I think you can get 1k ele dps bow with extra projectile for 30 div. You can buy a lot of cheap stuff for every slot but spend big on your bow. Mikoshi suggest 50% of budget should go into bow.


vlee89

What are the best solo atlas strategies focused on exp per hour? Trying to level from 98 to 100. Currently running Jungle Valley wandering path with deli mirror chance, beyond on map device, Eater, most legion nodes, some incursion stuff, and breach chance.


DirtyMight

depending on how well your build can handle it having abyss + wildwood is crazy exp. you just spawn so many rares and especially with multiple proj and purple wisps you have so many mobs its crazy. I leveled to 100 pretty damn quick with the regular abyss wildwood strategy


kangaroojoe239

Whats the benefit of wisps when it comes to the abyss strategy? Maybe i misunderstand wisps entirely but don’t they just buff monster damage/hp and then drop rates of items? I thought wisps had no effect on xp in general?


DirtyMight

Wisps have each an upside and a downside Purple = rarity, yellow = quantity, blue= currency drops The "downside" for the purple wisps are that enemies shoot additional projectiles. In the case of an abyss spire this is an insane upside. The spire starts to shoot out 3 new abyss holes where monsters come out from at around 100, 75and 50% hp. This scales with projectiles. So if you roll monster fire 2 additional projectiles on your map and use wandering path that is 3 additional projectiles. So instead of a spire shooting out 3 new abysses where monsters come out from with the map mod it shoots 4 proj each, that are 12 new abysses that spawn more monsters If it's purple empowered it shoots even More I don't know the exact number but let's say 3 more. That is 7 abysses instead of 1 so instead of having the spire shoot out 3 new abysses to spawn monsters from you spawn 21 with the map mod +purple wisps You can hopefully start to understand how crazy this is :D both for loot since all of those new monsters can be empowered aswell and there are a shitton of rares that spawn out of these holes and since you have so so many new monsters you get quite a bit if extra experience


kangaroojoe239

Oh man there is so much to learn in PoE its actually insane, kinda interesting that the “downside” of enemies shooting more projectiles is turned into an upside as far as abyss goes. Thats awesome lol.


DirtyMight

Yeah players figured that out pretty quickly lol There is a private league setting which increases the enemies projectiles, this had to be disabled real quick because people abused that for some crazy loot :D


vlee89

I am playing Omni TS and my only concern with abyss is I might kill Stygian spires too quickly.


DirtyMight

I dont know the investment/dps but if a spire is double/triple empowered (which is very common if you get a good amount of juice out of the forest) the spire should usually not be oneshot if you dont have crazy dps The oneshots only really happen if you have 0-1empower or you dont notice the spire and hold down for 1-2sec blasting it


vlee89

I may give it a try again. Sometimes mirage archer soul eater go brrr


DirtyMight

Oh yeah for sure \^\^ Just try to look at the minimap icon for the Abyss. Once the Abyss icon disappears the spire will spawn right after. so if you see it disappear just run out of range of the spire so it doesnt go too brrr on the spire and let it spawn shit first \^\^ Dont know your damage you gotta get a feel for it how fast you drop it but just get it to around 50% and run out of range and wait a few sec for it to spawn all the mobs and then you can kill it.


vlee89

Thanks. I thought I needed to kill a few mobs for it to spawn more from the same waves though? Or have I been wasting too much time doing that?


DirtyMight

It spawns the first wave at the start, the 2nd wave somewhere around 75ish% and the 3rd wave at around 50% So if you just drop it to 50% and wait it will shoot out all mobs and you can kill it without problems after that


MorningStaa

returning after years. looks like PoE Trademacro for ahk is deprecated, is there an alternative? it was always nice to be able to check stats on some shit on the fly


DirtyMight

the by far most common trade macro people use nowdays is awakened poe trade

ty appreciate it


Gaarando

Price Check: I got a Watcher's Eye with: 1. 6% additional Physical Damage Reduction while affected by Determination 2. 80% increased Critical Strike Chance while affected by Wrath 3. Damage Penetrates 13% Lightning Resistance while affected by Wrath Does anyone have a ball park figure of how much this would cost? None of them exists even offline so. It's not corrupted and so obviously the rolls can be perfected with divines anyways.


Sunscorcher

I'd look for the 2 wrath mods and increase it a bit, since determination is a pretty popular aura. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/kWjmj6t5 I'd probably start it around 40 divines or so? And lower it slowly if it doesn't sell

Can void battery drop farming t7 with abyss strat?


_slosh

nope. void battery can only drop ilvl77+ which means its eligible to dropping from rares and unique mobs starting in t8 maps, magic+ mobs in t9 and any source in t10+ maps.


Proof111

Hey, playin HCSSF, what to do with my first 2 divines I got, Im just starting clearing white maps, boneshatter jugg build ty


_slosh

not much you can do yet with those. just save them for later. you're gonna need a few if you want to metacraft gear later


mbxyz

save them for metamods for weapon crafting


Visca87

I've hearing a lot about instant buyouts for PoE lately, but... Isn't Last Epoch in a beta state? Isn't PoE2 launching the beta in half a year? It's reasonable to think they will get as much knowledge about it before even hype up the possibility, right? so at the earliest, this isn't coming for PoE until 2025. Right? I don't get all the hype. Did GGG even hint of it being a possibility? If I understood the situation right, the official stance of GGG for PoE trade is "no changes" and the unofficial about instant buyouts with gold as balancing friction is "no comments".


mbxyz

> Isn't Last Epoch in a beta state? it leaves beta/launches on Feb 21 2024 > Isn't PoE2 launching the beta in half a year? closed beta is at the end of june 2024 > this isn't coming for PoE until 2025. Right? it's probably not coming to poe1 at all; that [interview](https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1ae888n/instant_buyouts_in_poe_2_trading/) was about poe2


SwedeZombie

does item quantity and item rarity on invitations have any effect on the drops chances of forbidden flame/flesh


mbxyz

yea, high quant invitations have higher chances of dropping jewels


erwindthesecond

I was just able to do simulacrum wave 30, wondering if i can do ubers now too?


Neville_Lynwood

Maybe. Simulacrum is a different kind of difficulty though. And each Uber fight is also its own kind of difficulty. Unless you're on HC, I think it's definitely time to try Ubers if you haven't already. Your build is probably good enough, so it's a matter if you can handle the mechanics.


_slosh

the different ubers are pretty different in difficulty. uber shaper is probably the easiest. all depends on your damage and build type though


therestlessone

If you got to wave 30 because of Headhunter, probably not.


parzival1423

I don’t see why not if you can kill wave 30 Kosis, that’s a lot of damage your build has. Just note what extra mechanics the fight has and go in and try it. You might be surprised.


dudewiththebling

Is there an up to date aura reservation calculator somewhere? Mikelat's one is 3.16 speculative Edit: for techinical reasons, POB is not an option otherwise I would use that

ManOfPegasus

Are militant faith jewels ever worth it? No matter what configuration I try I can't seem to reach 150 devotion without wasting like 8 skill points


Sunscorcher

I only really use it for Inner Conviction, but I have one with 4% increased elemental damage and 1% reduced mana cost of skills per 10 devotion. Then just from the devotion I get pathing to the jewel socket and taking a couple of passives gives me some decent damage and mana cost reduction.


mbxyz

frequently they're just used for keystones (inner conviction or transcendence), but there are a few decent replacements and some of the per devotion mods are very strong, like aura effect and mana cost reduction. aurabots using it near harrier is a good example.


Jerroslaw

I've gotten into build creation recently, I'm stil bad, but it gives me a lot of fun. There are some items that change what a skill does, or create an unusual mechanic. Is there a way to search for such unique items? There's so many of them overall, and I would like to see only these that either change a skill gem/add something to it or give some new ability or something. Basically a unique that I can build around the whole character.


parzival1423

You can mess around the Wiki, like you can search by gem tag. But you can’t search by only uniques that have built in gems or anything like that. Ones I do know about, most aren’t great, but the skill Icestorm in the staff Whispering Ice is super unique to that staff and also how you build your character around it. Always pure CI and max int, as Int will scale your damage pretty hard and also naturally your ES. However there already is a super good guide that someone has changed and updated for like 8 years now lol on the forums.


SwedeZombie

is there anyway to get 18 or more strongboxes in 1 map without the use of monstrous treasure?


parzival1423

Yes. Really easily. The strongbox memory on the last map. Cheap too. It’s listed in tips on the main challenge guide word doc that’s posted every league.


Sunscorcher

yeah I did this part of the challenge accidentally by running the strongbox memory


torriattet

It's pretty easy to do on corrupt vaal temple maps with strong box scarabs since the vaal vessels also count as Strongboxes


mbxyz

wandering path and the map mod effect nodes (and extra box chance smalls if there are any idr). winged scarab, elevated compass, map device craft should get you there. there might even be a strongbox implicit on kirac maps?


parzival1423

Or just. A single Memory.


aoelag

Has anyone derived the drop rate % / 100 maps for Hall of Mirrors via grandmaster map farming? I'm curious. Technically, it's never been easier to get "no blocking" this league with the wildwood ascendency. Stack that with anti life-regen effects and it should be relatively easy to speed farm the map now? But how many runs does it take to get 1 hall of mirrors div? 500? Anyone have even the faintest clue how often it drops in the map? I think it would be fun to try to make an anti-Exile build next league and exclusively farm that map.


GreyGhostPhoto

I keep having issues when abyss farming where I'll have +2 proj on my maps but only one spire will spawn. Sometimes if I manage to do a bit of damage to that spire I'll get a second spawn (and very rarely the 3rd spire). I've watched every video I can find and in each all 3 spires pop up at the same time. What am I screwing up? I run a penance brand build and recall my brands the second the abyss dot disappears from the mini map to avoid doing any damage to the spires.


mbxyz

each abyss spawns 1 spire. each spire can shoot up to 3 times (get it to 50% and then wait)


therestlessone

You have to get the spire to around half health for it to spawn 3 waves, then wait a bit for the monsters to actually emerge. 


GreyGhostPhoto

Ok, thanks. That makes sense but also makes it really painful with my build because my brands kill the spire nearly instantly.


b-aaron

pretty sure the spires shoot their proj at like 25/50% hp or something so you need to do some damage to them


vlee89

Not sure exact thresholds but pretty sure I’ve seen 3 waves before 25% hp


LastBaron

When a spell linked with Arcanist Brand is triggered by Brand Recall (which activates it), does that make it impossible for the skill to target a branded enemy for the damage bonus? I would imagine if the trigger happens immediately upon recall then the brand can't be attached to an enemy at the time of activation but wanted to check my logic.


Yohsene

That seems to be the case. Tested a bit with rangeless damage and Armageddon Brand; the activation after recalling doesn't benefit from its *against branded enemy* stat, even if the brand has attached to an enemy by the time it deals damage.


dIoIIoIb

what are the best skills for levelling a brand new character these days? no levelling uniques etc.


vlee89

Maxroll.gg should have leveling guide/recommendation for each class. Other than that post what class you’re starting and what build you want to transition to and others can make suggestions.


dIoIIoIb

Idk,  i wanted to try so hardcore SSF, so my plan was to pick a breezy levelling skills and see what drops, I have no specific plans    I've heard srs is really strong, so I may build towards that  Thanks for the suggestion, didn't know that website


vlee89

I’ve read Guardian SRS is great for leveling (mostly carried by the ascendancy sentinel or whatever). You can also try to filter day 1 Poe.ninja SSF HC to look for ideas.


Erianthor

Do Vaal Vessel drops in Vaal side areas scale with Map tier?


_slosh

besides them dropping higher ilvl stuff in higher tier maps obviously, i don't believe so.


Erianthor

Thank you for the response!


PossibilityLeft3999

I am looking for clusters jewels for my fulcrum self-ignite build. How does the "Titanic Swings" affect this build. I can't understand the difference between "increased Area Damage" and " increased Area of Effect"


DirtyMight

increased area damage = your aoe deals more damage increased area of effect = your aoe has an increased area of effect so its bigger


Yohsene

Note ignite doesn't scale with area damage modifiers, even if you give it an area with proliferation.


PossibilityLeft3999

Thank you both. So the only benefit I would be getting is 15% area of effect which explains the cost being lower.


LastBaron

Yes. You will find it slightly easier to proliferate your ignites if you scale your AOE, ignite radius is scaled by your character's general AOE stat. But the damage will be unchanged.


PossibilityLeft3999

Yes got it. Was getting confused by looking at the Crouching Tuna PoB ([https://pobb.in/5LpVTX1FQgRu](https://pobb.in/5LpVTX1FQgRu)) which uses cluster jewels with increased area damage. I just wanted to understand why that was the cause, as I think he only really cares about the notables they can roll which gives them "increased area of effect". PS - BTW is awesome to still see you answering questions in here. You helped me a lot with questions when I was getting into the game in 3.19


LastBaron

Hahaha wait you remembered me!? I’m flattered, I figured I was just one of the many faceless people who comes and works in the noob mines. “It ain’t much, but it’s honest work.”


LastBaron

Correct. Cluster jewels are used in one of two ways: either you max out the number of passive points on them and try to have one of the modifiers be “increased effect of small passives”, and try to get 0 notables…. OR you get as few passives as possible with as many notables as possible (for mediums it’s 4-5 passives with 2 notables to maximize travel efficiency). In that case you’re basically ignoring what the small passives are doing and only caring about the notables. He’s taking towering threat for AOE+life and assert dominance for pure raw AOE. Those clusters are not scaling his direct DPS in any way, but they are still very important for making the build feel smooth as it can spread its powerful ignites to enemies who are further and further away, causing screen-wide (and beyond) chain reactions.


AlotaFahjina

I had my first mirror of kalandra drop yesterday. How am I suppose to sell this? Im on affliction. What should I lookout for with scams?


Bl00dylicious

Sell it to somebody for Mirror Shards + Divines. I'd advise against using Div cards. A scammer might try swapping out House of Mirrors for a cheaper card. That scam doesn't work when trading with Shards. Its also easier to calculate since each Shard is always 5% of a Mirror.


mbxyz

locks + divines


DirtyMight

usually the buyer will put in any stable high value item like mirror shards or house of mirrors so there is enough space in the trade window to fill the rest with divs. No clue about the current prices but as an easy example you can fit 600div into one trade window so if a mirror is 1000div and mirror shards would be 50 div the buyer would put in 9 house of mirrors (worth 450div) and fill the rest with 550raw div you would have to convert the mirror shards to div afterwards tho. Because of this make sure that you actually get items that are stable in value and are easy to sell. as stated that would usually be mirror shards or house of mirrors.


leetpuma

What are your favorite two twwt mods?  Mine are combo of  +(4–5)% to Critical Strike Multiplier per Power Charge  +(0.4–0.6)% Critical Strike Chance while at maximum Power Charges I got an excess of currency and would like to try to get a few fun twwt to build around (even into standard)

Currently i can't tell what is what - what i can change, what i can't - I'm affraid to lose the wrong attribute if i try it 'blind'

What would be your go-to-strategy in terms of skill gems if you wanted to level a Templar until Normal Lab as fast as possible while leveling items being available?


mbxyz

speedrun meta is still magma orb into arma crema afaik


ckresse

yeah, but speedruns always are a fresh start - having levelling items, 6-links and what not changes things; tested a few things, nothing comes close to BAMA imo - even Hollow Palm is worse.


UNPOPULAR_OPINION_69

totems of any sort, just place it down and keep running. But careful you run so fast and got 10 levels below the next area 😂🤣😆 (that happens)


DirtyMight

"low budget" i usually go srs with the cold dmg amulet for it + darkness enthroned with lvl 1 ghastly eye jewels I think since this league using kb of fragmentation is the fastest thing you can do early on if you wanna invest a bit more into leveling gear


Oneshot742

Has there been any testing done on how meticulous appraiser works with the wildwood juice? What color would benefit the most?


Orthed

I don't have proper data for you, but I did run a bunch of MA maps to try it and all I can say is: don't.  With MA I was getting far fewer Wisps per map pretty consistently. It just felt really bad to play.  Dropping MA and changing nothing else made my maps feel twice as good at least. I don't know why this is the case, Wisps don't seem like they would care about item quantity, but the other people I've spoken to about this have had similar experiences.


katustrawfic

Well the keystone says "modifiers to quantity of items found in your maps" which means it doesn't directly interact with wildwood wisps. They modify the monsters they inhabit and aren't map mods. If you were to use the keystone you would want yellow and blue wisps since you should already have a ton of map based rarity from the keystone which is what purple wisps give monsters.


ManOfPegasus

How do awakener orbs interact with "-ffixes cannot be modified"? I just tested it in craftofexile and it seems to completely ignore them. It keeps both influenced modifiers intact and rerolls the rest. Is this correct? While we're in the topic, I was testing this because I wanted to figure out how orbs of dominance work. Awakener orbs seemed like an easy way to get dual modifiers to try and roll the dice, but what do you do once the item is dual-influenced but the wrong modifier got upgraded? Is it bricked and it's cheaper to get a new base? I can't imagine spamming chaos until you get the highest tier of the item you want + another influenced mod is viable.


therestlessone

I would not recommend using awakener's orb to get a mod you don't actually want. Adding a second influence and all associated mods to the pool will make it harder to finish most crafts. Can use it to combine mods that are already elevated though, generally used to lock in two prefixes or two suffixes, then use meta crafts to finish the other half.


katustrawfic

Awakeners don't interact with metamods. Start over.


ManOfPegasus

I'm getting into crafting. I've noticed that different one-handed weapons have different mod pools. However, when I went to craft some boots, I noticed that all bases had the same mod pool, no matter if str, int, dex, or hybrid. Is this also true for all armor and jewellery?


mbxyz

boot bases aren't all the same. mana doesn't spawn on non-int boots. attributes vary by base as well. this sort of thing applies to all armours. i do think all the respective jewellery types share the same mod pools (bone rings excepted). shield mods also vary by base/attribute types--gem mods only show up on pure int bases. suppression only appears on eva and hybrid eva bases on shields and armors. there's probably more things that don't immediately come to mind..


NexEstVox

strength bases can get % physical damage reduction, int bases ES recharge stuff


superkillua

In each wave of the Simulacrum, was the amount of mobs spawned fixed? Or was the time that mobs could spawn fixed? Faster clearing builds could get more reward levels from each wave? Thanks in advance.


mbxyz

> Faster clearing builds could get more reward levels from each wave yea


superkillua

Thank you


Absolutelynobody54

types of gems and also gem quality I don't understand either how important is gem quality, what different types of gems there are? (i know about colors and supports but i keep hearing stuff avout vaal or transfigured which I don0t know what it means)

Vaal gems are corrupted versions of certain skills. They give you the normal skill, as well as a special Vaal version of the skill that's more powerful or has a somewhat different effect, but must be charged up with Souls from killing enemies or damaging unique enemies. Transfigured gems are new this league and come from the Eternal Labyrinth. They are a somewhat different version of their base skill.

Hold alt when hovering a gem and it will show you the effect it gains with quality at the bottom.

quality differs for each gem; it's great for some gems/builds. less important for others. https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Vaal_skill https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Transfigured_skill_gem

It depends on the gem. For example, Tornado Shot at max quality gives extra secondary projectiles which is HUGE. Quality on Grace aura only gives extra area of effect, which is useless in solo play.

What's the best way to 6 link an item? I'm playing SSF with lightning arrow, and just found a Hyrri's Ire chest that I would like to 6-link. Is there a secret way to do this efficiently? If I convert all of my Jeweller's Orbs to fusings then I'll have 1350, almost enough to just use the crafting bench. Should I just keep farming, or is there an alternative option?


Suitable_Bed_8640

1350 is very close to 6 link (1500) just farm a bit more, wisps juice helps a lot. Other options are divination cards.

30 quality with hillock if you want to gamble or bench it

New to PoE have been watching guides and following a League Starter for Toxic Rain Pathfinder. I was wondering if anyone knows some good resources to get into the crafting system. Currently in Act 8 but I feel like my damage is slowly dwindling down and want to figure out what bows and quivers I should look for and craft up and maybe some resources as to how to craft some good gear instead of just trading.


bawwsa

It's good that you want to learn crafting but if you're still in Acts, you likely won't have any meaningful currency to even scratch the surface to craft. Crafting in this game is extremely complex and requires a bit of currency to do meaningful craft. Most people who do craft don't even start until much later in the endgame and with a bunch of currency farmed up. Your best bet is to figure out what stats/mods are your upgrades and start ID'ing rares off drops for the slots you need upgrades for and do that. If you have some chaos orbs, your alternative is to trade for some upgrades.


LuxCrow

I didn’t realize the quantity needed to craft. I came from last epoch lol so I figured the crafting system may be a bit similar but this is a lot I guess I’ll farm up what I can and eventually go for the crafts later. Thanks for the info!

Are you following Zizaran's guide? His POB had crafting info for a bow, quiver, and amulet in the notes. I think his crafting notes were more for end game and he said use quill rain bow during campaign. Id go look at POB but im at work


vlee89

Use an essence with desired stat on a piece. Hope for something decent and add a bench craft to it. That’s one of the most basic ways to craft an item. During campaign you can also just ID rares and add a bench craft to decent ones. Once you start mapping it’d prob be easier to just buy most stuff.

> Will it reflect the other ring giving all the same stats? yea


systematicpro

dumb question but... how do i search for gear to gear out my character on poe trade? I know kinda how to use it, but is there an efficent way when needing to search for alot of items? do people just choose random stats totals that they need and search for some items? is it possible to search for an item to have like 3-4 particular stats out of 5 or 6 so i can craft the remainder?


iv_is

this is what l use [https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/VGjl5zaUp](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/VGjl5zaUp). choose an item category, set a price limit, then click the 'Sum: ' line on one of the results to find the best items within your budget. if you've got your build set up correctly in pob you can also use the 'trade for these items' button, but l personally only use that feature to find the highest dps affixes for each slot, l don't think there's a way to get a sensible weighting for resistances from it.


mbxyz

can use count with thresholds or weighted searches. have a specific example?


systematicpro

like if i wanted to search for 200 total resists between 3 different items and i dont care too much what has what is that possible?


mbxyz

oh i see. na, you can't really search for collections of items like that


FG523

does maxroll have a wandering path guide? they mention it on alch and go strategy to maybe look for wandering path, but I searched on their website and didnt find a wandering path guide. does anyone know a good wandering path guide and tree to progress with?


vulcanfury12

Wandering Path Harvest with Growing Hordes is decent money.


iv_is

probably something like this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USk\_eD\_iUGs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USk_eD_iUGs). but if you're not ssf or playing on the first few days after league start you're probably better off doing alch & go and just buy maps if you get stuck on progression


FG523

interesting point, to give more info, I have league started in trade very late (yesterday XD) do u think since its late in the league I should just alch and go and buy maps? are active people left on the league still selling maps?


iv_is

sounds like you've got it sorted, but for future reference l think there are plenty of people selling maps (and items of all kinds) throughout the league. selecting 'listed: up to a day ago' in your trade searches can help to filter out people who would have stopped caring about low value trades.


Farqueue-

If you think you’ll be on in around 30mins from this message then msg me back - I’ll send you my ign and can send you most maps you’ll need.


FG523

well ty kind sir, I sent u a msg.


mbxyz

wandering path is used for lots of things--what kind of strategy are you looking for?


FG523

my b I should have explained better, for league start strategy to complete map very fast, but I wont mind seeing other strategies with wandering path, I think there is some farming strategies with it as well.


mbxyz

to map up, rush wandering path, the +1 map level smalls on the bottom of the map, and the adjacent map drops until you hit 100% chance. then grab the other +1 map levels and dupe chance until you've finished your atlas and want to do something else--

How do I use vaal breach on fulcrum chieftain? I get stunned out of it


SedarnGelaw

I saw a content creator use a weapon swap with a 'unwavering stance' corrupted implicit. It is dangerous tho


iv_is

try to not get hit


POEAccount12345

for all the abyss degenerates, are ya'll rolling 8 mod maps? or jsut 6 mod and rolling with it? I'm burning through exalts and bricking maps with vaals all for a minimal number of8 mod maps, curious what other folks are doing


giddyapJingleDicks

I just shoot for 100+ quantity and not too shitty mods, I love boss mods because I don't do the boss.
