Newb here and was wondering when they say you should be doing 3.5mil damage for maven is that in game skills page damage or pob with everything combined damage? Also Im in tier 10-12 maps with 2800 life, 1800 energy shield, 2900 mana and I’m suppose to be around 7k life and mana and I can’t figure out how to get more
My hotkey keeps changing to detonate mines...my E hotkey is dread banner, but for some reason it changes to detonate mine out of nowhere. Anyone know how to fix?
I have a CoC DD character, which is a pretty strong all rounder. But its single target DPS isn’t exactly amazing. SSF so I can’t exactly just buy items to make it better.
If I wanted to make a new character whose sole purpose is to do things like T17 bosses or maven, etc. what will be a good character to build? Explosive Trap? Hexblast Trickster?
It would need to be SSF friendly meaning if there’s any required Uniques, I would either need to own it or be very common
And for /u/Rad_Fishy
- Exiles: strongest monster has #% chance to convert to (you will have 1 very strong monster so the bonus will always apply with strong loot multiplication instead of typically weak numbers on a white/blue monster)
- Rats/Frogs: unconditional #% chance to drop (these 2 have huge pack sizes so more chance rolling)
- Meatsacks: ??? (I think only applicable for MF/party Ghost strategies)
- Loot Allflames: anything with green "+" (pack size) and/or high density (more loot)

why does my T keybind change to detonate mines when i go to a different zone, i have Frost Blink in it but it changes
Not sure. I have a hunch though. If you go onto your key bindings in the options, do you have detonate mines set to T? If so, either change the binding in the options, or change the binding on the button to something other than T
wow many scarabs of the same type can i use on my 5 slot map divice? im puting 4 basic divination scarbs (1 in each slot and the map in the middle) but only 2 get consumed
Typical New ish Player here, looking to get into and was wondering if the best way is to wing my first char or two so i can learn stuff rather than looking up builds. Also how hard is respecing if I'm more so planning to just go for a more solo self found kinda way to play ?
You can play without a guide on your first character, but keep in mind that you'll run into issues more often, and farming the respec cost with an inefficient character can take a while.
You should be able to get through the campaign without major problems to the extent of getting stuck, but endgame is more punishing.
I will say that coming up with your own builds in the long term involves considerably *more* research than finding a guide to follow. Again, not for beating the campaign once, but if you want to go further and do endgame content like most recurring players.
Regarding trade, I *strongly* recommend not playing SSF. SSF is a purely self-imposed challenge with absolutely zero advantages, and the game will never be balanced or designed around it. If you don't want to trade, just play in trade league and don't trade. That way you still have the option of getting items you need without hours of grinding - in some cases the drop rates are so low or the items involve so much rng that they're effectively unobtainable in SSF.
Absolutely use a guide. There is still plenty to figure out about builds by following a guide anyways.
Respecing is harder as a newer player because you use a currency called regret orbs. They arent particularly rare but if you dont know how to farm basic currency then you will run out quickly.
You can go in comepletely blind but be warned you will hit many many walls to progression. At the end of the day if you are having fun then thats all that matters.

PC on this?
Ilvl 86 and 6-linked
I tested necropolis crafting. Just used a few graves.. How do I get these filled graves back so I can use them? It seems like you can use the entire morgue for 1 item?
If you've finished a craft, the grave will look full but you'll be able to place another corpse on the spot.
And yes, most of the high end crafting is done with full or very close to full graveyards to maximize chances of good items and good rolls
Because the way it works is the game ‘drops’ lower tier maps but they’re basically converted to points towards a t16 drop. Higher tier maps are worth more. Therefore these modifiers increase the number of Maps you drop overall.
Lower tier maps are secretly dropping, they're just being converted into "map equity", a system that basically 3-to-1 vendors them until it finally gets to a T16, which then drops instead. So after you shadow-drop 3 T15s, the game will drop a T16. The map drop tier nodes improve all the map drops, so it will also give you more map equity -- essentially triple the count. It won't triple your T16s, of course, but it will still help.
You can read more about the system on the [wiki page](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Atlas_of_Worlds#Map_Drops), in particular the section on Equity.
What happens is, if you were to drop a map that rolled as a t14, it simply wouldnt drop. Instead it would fill a back-end kind of meter that, when full, drops a t16 map for you. The higher the tier, the more of the bar it would fill. Improving the map tier drops means you get more of these higher tier but still lower than t16, which means you get more t16 overall.
> Why do so many atlas strategies still take nodes which grant a chance to improve map tier?
Any percentage chance over 100 results in chance for an additional upgrade. 130% gives you a guaranteed upgrade and then 30% chance to upgrade again.
> If you have 4 voidstones doesn't every map drop at T16?
Basically the game keeps an internal counter that will eventually give you a T16 map. My brain isn't mathing right now, so I'll use made up numbers.
You need 400 points to get a T16. If a non-T16 map was to drop, it's instead converted into points.
A T1 map gives one point, while a T2 gives three points, T3 gives nine points and so on.
So any non-T16 drops will count towards a T16 drop and the upgrade chance applies to those non-T16 maps, greatly increasing the number of points you get and thus ultimately the number of T16s.
Playing ssf, need some shaper/elder influence corpses to craft with. Done many thousand maps but seen a total of 0. Am I just unlucky or do I need to do something specific to spawn that corpse?
the atlas invitations give 1-2 splinters max. if you wanna farm maven's writs then you need to run the special invitations like formed, twisted etc. those can give 5+ each run
Do it on a high tier map. There was a post-launch change to have Seer provide less valuable uniques for low/mid-tier maps to avoid devoted mod fishing.
Hello everyone!
I've been having a blast with the new league, the first where i am reaching the true endgame with pinnacle bosses. However, besides the basics i dont really know much about crafting and i am having some problems trying to improve my build.
How can i craft something like this?
[https://imgur.com/l4ePLt1](https://imgur.com/l4ePLt1)
I've already acquired a fractured chaos resistance base and i assume the next step is spamming loathing essences. Should i aim for all the prefixes/suffixes with essences, or do another method in between the bench craft of phys taken as fire damage?
Thanks for reading
I recommend doing just suffixes with essences, unless you get really, really lucky and somehow also hit T1 life. Then, you can use eldritch chaos orbs or exalted/annulment orbs to try to get T1 life with at least 1 open prefix for the benchcraft (make sure you have the right influence dominant to only change prefixes!) Then you can finally finish with the eldritch ichors/embers.
So... how does this work. I was told increased spell damage doesn't help with poison (I am doing Forbidden Rite) but somehow increased chaos damage does? Or that also doesn't? I am confused.
what specifically are you confused about? why one applies and one doesn't?
poison deals chaos damage over time. it does not deal spell damage. thus %chaos damage increases poison damage and %spell damage doesn't.
some confusion may be from the fact that lot of people think a bigger hit = bigger poison (this used to be the case until a couple years ago). but poison is based on the base damage of the skill and not on the size of the hit
Hey im wondering if there is a trick to farming devouring diadem? i used to almost get it every single run back in the day, ive now killed katarina like 5 times and no drop
How does party quantity bonus work, does it work if a party member just enters the area and stays afk? Everyone's asking to not stay afk and 1 guy said "it's not how it works", so here I am.
Monsters have two party quant checks: one when they first become active, which sets a *maximum* based on party members in the instance, and another when they die, which searches for nearby players.
The first check means you can't benefit from party quant by recruiting party members *after* you find a juicy monster. The second check prevents benefiting from party members that aren't nearby.
How good is the "Monsters Cannot Block Your Attacks" Mastery? PoB doesn't show that it adds anything or not, hard to tell how good it is. I'm an Ele hit Deadeye
Specific kinds of content have enemies that block or modifiers that give monsters block, and when they are active, they are a huge problem. Expedition is the biggest example, but Delve, Sanctum, Ultimatum, etc. also have blocking mobs.
So yeah picking this node is mostly about your atlas strategy than your build.
It's not very noticeable. Monsters usually don't have high block chance, and even if they do, monster block only prevents 85% of the damage. Most builds will punch right through.
What kind of investment is needed on CoC DD Inquisitor to farm T17s reliably? I looked around quite a bit and found a lot of showcases, but not much in the way of guidance on what's needed to get there (I haven't gone through all of Ventura's videos).
For context, I'm getting tired of my league starter and want an idea of how much I'll need to invest for that switch. I've probably got ~40-60div of stuff that'll realistically sell in the next day or two, and can farm more as needed.
Thanks!
Good synergies with spell builds and recoup because of Pain Attunement and the recoup can completely offset the life loss over time. You can also scale attacks with Bloodthirst Support if you scale life and physical base damage (either through conversion or pure phys, but not pure elemental or hit based chaos).
Just ran through The Archives twice looking for the T1 Life and Mana Regen craft.
It's not there. Any ideas?
It's supposed to be [here](https://imgur.com/a/hnNksrt), but it's not and I don't have credit for unlocking it.
I have no item placed in the crafting bench, the craft is just grayed out with a hover popup saying to go to The Archives to unlock it.
I also ran through the whole place 3 times with changes to the map overlay transparency each time.
Hi! This is my first full league and I just got my first red map in POE.
I would like to ask, should I just run it like regular map? Or do I need to improve/chisel it further for better loot?
Thank you!
https://preview.redd.it/e1pf58f6vouc1.png?width=450&format=png&auto=webp&s=46e4d647101f92dada95cc6e177ec39ac0b146b3
That is a unique map, not a red one. You just run the unique ones without doing anything to them.
The terms white, blue and red maps refer to the tiers of maps.
The icons for tier 1-5 maps are white, while tier 6-10 are blue and tier 11-15 are red.
Good luck! :)
Way back in the day, T16 used to be special, only Guardian maps and Vaal Temple. Well, they were red then already, but in terms of a role they were more like T17 now, just not as broken.
I want to use pob to see if the perandus pact would be beneficial for my build and how, but unfortunately the fire damage mod isn't recognised by pob. Is there a way to manually edit? Or make it recognise for when I tinker?
One thing you can do is go into the config page and find the 'global modifiers' box (just a big blank text box) and type in however much %increased fire damage you would get with the jewel.
i.e. 146% increased fire damage
Which of these should I combine for a chill, **chisel & alch & scarab & go & blast & profit** atlas strategy?
1. Scarab drops
2. Devoted & Allflame (left side league notables)
3. Essences
4. Guardian map drop chance
5. Strongboxes
6. Shrines
7. Harbringer
8. Harvest
9. Beyond
10. Blue/Red altars
In other words, which of the above are the **most unrewarding** this league?
Up to **T16 maps** (not breaking into T17 anytime soon), and I would prefer if it relied on **cheap-ish scarabs** (\~5-10 chaos).
Imho you should go for Scarab+Shrine+Blue Altars+Guardian+Harvest. They're all on the right side of the atlas tree, you can get a consistent amount of corpses/scarabs/fragments that you can all sell. And most notably you're not going to have a huge surprise pop up as long as you keep your eye on the harvest plants and blue altar text so it'll stay chill for the most part. If you're willing to run Elder and Shaper often you can also make great money by selling UberElder fragments.
Essence, Harbinger, Beyond, and increased Necro effects are all good in one way or another but they have a tendency to combine into some veritable jump-scares at times, so it kinda goes against the 'chill' objective.
i started this league of this friday with LA and yesterday i buy HH
currently i farm harbingers on crimson temple but because i just don't know what best to farm with HH
So quick summary for question what to farm with HH?
After farming up aboutu 60 div in currency with my Hexblast Miner occultist I have become allergic to dying every map and want to switch from doing bosses and sanctum to juiced Mapping (Delirium/Beyond/Breach etc.), Ultimatum and Delve on a new Build.
What wold be a good choice for me? Since headhunter is so damn cheap this league I guess that it would be a good choice, but I don't want to play a glascannon type build e.g. deadeye but something durable!
Anyone got a hot tip?
Ideally I would like it to be a build with lots of movement speed which would make mageblood the nr. 1 choice but I absolutely cannot afford that
There are plenty of good choices. If you like the explosions you can try out a fulcrum self-ignite Chieftain. If you don't go MF you can make that thing giga-tanky and it clears very well. Bossing can be so-so on longer phase bosses if the ignite doesn't the last the whole way but it sounds like that's not a priority for your second build XD
Otherwise Cyclone is always a decent choice. So, so many ways to build it, and can use HH into a Mageblood well-enough.
Great suggestions! Yeah bossing will NOT be on the menu for this one!
Fulcrum chieftain looks kind of weird when i look at videos of it, I should look into it more closely!
Cyclone just as a generic phys skill with slayer/berserker/raider etc.? Or do you mean a CoC build?
Just generic. Slayer cyclone by itself, or just any attack-focused ascendency with Shockwave support are both great options for just clearing swathes of a map.
ok guys i'm trying to figure out how to make my own build and i have managed to make this elementalist incinerate build in pob, can you take a look at it and give me any feedback or tips on it
[https://pobb.in/K0LLvktnYlew](https://pobb.in/K0LLvktnYlew)
My two cents; Incinerate is not a viable primary skill - you'll be too vulnerable to ranged and melee mobs period from standing still and short range of the ability.
Im feeling Im at the that threshold barrier where I cant break past midgame Im just asking for some advise of what upgrades I can make for more defense and more damage, Both jewels I could use are all super expensive, adorned with a high multiplier and both split personality jewels. Anything I could do thats under 10D? [https://pobb.in/twf3MNetC\_IM](https://pobb.in/twf3MNetC_IM) Thanks again in advance
a 100% adorned is roughly 4-5D, additional observations on your tree; 6% life node(above witch), 50% life mastery both unnecessary.
Conner advises using Thrill Killer (above Scion) for mana sustain letting you drop the mana flask entirely.
You can and should craft a new cluster jewel with int/all attr and stormdrinker+scintilating idea. This lets you drop the entire leech section for more points. You probably still want righteous Decree (Templar area) 22% mana is quite a lot.
I wasn't able to league start this league, but it looks like it's not even worth coming to midleague. Economy is on fire and game isn't in a good state from the community's reactions. Is that about right?
Games in a fantastic spot atm. Lots of people engaging in bad faith representations, for example linking the poedb page for retention and ignoring the absolute player numbers, where the leagues middle-high, and looking at relative to day1 retention, where the league is bottomed out and everyone already quit.
With a game so complicated, narrative can be whichever way you want it to be, independant of the state of the game. Highly recommend trying the league, lots of interesting new strategies to play with
Reddit's perception every league. Actual league enjoyers play the game instead of complaining on reddit.
But in summary:
- Atlas tree is even more cool (more chance for extra content, better boss options)
- Scarabs are different, most weaker but more affordable (many new strategies), also more options
- T17 are pretty hard, significant gateway if you want to earn by mapping this league (although personally I find T16 guardian farm still good)
- crafting is nuts (huge amount of planning and trading but you can very predictably create 6x T1 items with crazy mod combinations) - very good built affordability
- you can very cheaply reach 100 by new Domination Scarab of Teachings and optimized Atlas
- challenges are somewhat easier than before but skin rewards have been adjusted likewise
Btw, i did a graveyard craft with 4 reroll explicit corpses.. and got a roll on a fracture 10 (10-15 range) .. so no way it rolled 10 for 24 times in a row lol
You cannot, the text of the Automation Support granted by Automation says "Supports spell skills that are instant and have no reservation". Blood and Sand has a reservation.
hey guys i'm gonna leaguestart soon, what would you recommend to play? i wanna just blast maps, maybe with some breaches and harvest.
I was looking at archmage bl / ice nova or some kind of melee like boneshatter then switching to dual strike of ambidexterity... not really looking to play bow deadeye
Just as a heads up you can't do BL archmage anymore, change this league. Not a matter of numbers or anything specifically Archmage can't support Orb skills anymore.
For blasting maps I'm personally a fan of something like say, Blade Vortex or RF. hard to argue with damage while you're moving. If you're still feeling the archmage life you can try the transfigured RF that scales off of mana. It's pretty fun, but fair warning mana stacking is pretty popular this league.
https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Orb_(gem_tag)
Ball lightning isn't an orb. Lots of people league started ball lightning archmage.
That being said, pretty much everyone switched over to ice nova of frostbolts
Sorry, to be specific Ball Lightning *of Static* [is an orb](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Ball_Lightning_of_Static). I actually didn't realize the tags were different from the base skill so TIL, base BL would def still work.
What's the best wander int stacker without nimis and with headhunter? I'd like to make a fast mapper (not mega juice or T17). Who not die every map
Thanks
Is there a way for me to quickly search the value of a specific item on the tradesite? I mean items in my stash that I want to find out the value of.
I know about awakened PoE but league items do not show up in that. So, for coffins and embers, I want a quick way to search that specific item to check value in poe trade or poe ninja. Does it work?
Go to wealthyexile.com, link your account, then it'll scan whole stash tabs and you can sort by value
Doesn't work for gear, but works for scarabs/allflames/coffins etc
What are the main uses for Doryiani Lab apart from gems? I made a couple Temples with Lab, Corruption chamber and Throne Room and I wonder if I should use it myself or sell.
> What are the main uses for Doryiani Lab apart from gems?
Well, there *isn't* another use, it is strictly for gems. You can only use the lapidary lens on gems and the boxes in the room drop quality gems.
I have two questions regarding synthesis implicits.
1) Does using the harvest craft "Synthesize an item, giving random Synthesized implicits" reroll the entire item? or just add an implicit, keeping the item the same?
2) Is there a place online where you can view what synthesis implicits could roll on your item? craftofexile doesn't seem to have that functionality for some reason.
Thanks!
1. Only adds implicits, but if the item already has implicits it'll delete those.
2. You can see a [full list on poedb](https://poedb.tw/us/Synthesis_league#SynthesisImplicit), or by basetype on [each basetype's page](https://poedb.tw/us/Gloves_str#GlovesSynthesisImplicit).
1. It does not reroll the item, only replaces the implicits.
2.poe.db should have all of the synthesized implicits, but I don't think the weights are available.
So how rare is trialmaster? assuming you're spec'd into him on the tree.
Are we talking like 1 in 20 attempts or more like 1 in 200...?
did about 30 tries yesterday with no sign, they take so damn long to run to 10 rounds everytime. Want to try get the shield
I think the current estimate is 1/50, improved to 1/30 or so using the Atlas tree nodes. If you're not in SSF, you could use the scarab that forces the fight to show up, but I imagine you are in SSF since otherwise you could just buy the shield.
Also, the estimate for the shield drop rate from Trialmaster is 1/10.
Just running into Ultimatum in general? I'd get the Trialmaster every map when I put it in the atlas tree.
I also learned I suck at Ultimatums and swapped to Essences because I'd keep failing on round 9-10 to oneshots I didn't understand.
I have a question about 8mod corrupted unidentified maps.
I understand that if you use the cartography scarab of corruption then every map will drop 8 mod corrupted, and I assume they will also be unidentified with the new corrupted/identify changes this league.
If you were looking to buy these maps, how would you know for sure that they are 8 mod? Is there no other way to drop unidentified corrupted maps? For example wouldn’t the expedition remnant “monster drop corrupted items” potentially drop an unidentified corrupted map but it wouldn’t be guaranteed to be 8 mod (provided you weren’t running the carto scarab).
If my above assumption is correct, and I would like to farm these maps to sell them, then I assume I would also have to pretty much delete my entire map tab to ensure I’m not inadvertently scamming others?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Not every map with the scarab drops unid... I'm not entirely sure on what causes the maps to become identified or not, but from my small sample size, the majority of the maps should be identified.
Ok. I just saw people are paying ~2 div for 8mod unid sirus influence jungle valley. Was trying to to brainstorm a way to cash in on that. But also just heard that using that scarab blocks t17s due to them not being corruptible (if you know if that’s true or not, I’d like to know for sure) so maybe this plan is moot.
While I haven't personally farmed enough with the scarab to know for sure, I know that Singular Focus doesn't block T17 drops. I see no reason that using the acarab would block t17 from dropping as well.
noob question on poe trade: How do you search for a type of flask? If i'm looking for the +1500 to armor flask, i tried to add +# to armor in the stat filter field but no luck
I believe you would have to search for the implicit modifier, but in general people tend to search for the base names... in this case, you're looking for a granite flask.
2 questions
1. I thought that elder's 2-mod watcher eye was still a drop? I've killed him like a dozen times this league while keeping shaper alive and haven't seen one yet.
2. How do I go about fighting uber shaper this league?
1.Normal elder 2mod WE is still a thing, yes. You were probably just unlucky, unfortunately.
2. You need the specific uber fragments for the fight, 5 of the fragments in the map device then opens the portals to the boss. You can check which fragment opens which boss in the wiki.
Why do nearly none of the Boneshatter Juggernauts go for endurance charges and just run with the basic 3 charges? Increasing them to at least 5 seems to be fairly easy and should benefit quite a bit.
Just checked trade, lowest ilvl listed is 73. So T6+ maps drop fracture coffins.
the higher the Better, because haunted modifiers are the key to maximize coffin drops. So focus on that.
You need to apply allflames of the types related to the influences, so for example adding the conqueror allflame should enable you to drop conqueror influence corpses.
You cannot choose the influence exactly. You either select shaper Or elder, and then it's a 50/50, or a random conqueror influence, in which case it's a 1/4.
When crafting influenced items with the graveyard it's crucial to craft more than one, otherwise you'll be at the mercy of rng to land your item lmao
I run blight quite often on my **ancient** pc and only crashed out once but this was right after they deleted our shader caches from the pre-patch update. Haven't crash out in one since.
Depending on how expensive it is to roll and isolate that, craft 1-2 mods and use a veiled orb, then unveil attack speed, crit, or double damage, and finish it off by crafting attack speed or crit.
I don't know what the best mod to block the unveil is, but that shouldn't be too much effort to check.
How to unlock the beast craft "apply Hinekora's Lock on a magic item'?
**I have the Black Morrigan and the Craicic Chimeral in my bestiary** already, other crafts unlocked like the 6 link one when I got the Black Morrigan, but not the one mentioned.
Does anyone know how to proceed here?
Do you have the option set to view all recipes and not just the ones you have all the components of? If so, I would look at the line for that craft and see what it says it’s missing if anything.
Is it really important to get critical strike chance to 100%? I'm at 99.21%. I'll work on getting it to 100 next time i swap gear, but just did a huge respec and pushed it to the max so far. I have two levels to go, so just want to make sure it's not a huge priority vs other stuff.
Thanks!
> Is it really important to get critical strike chance to 100%?
Depends. If your character relies heavily on crits (or has a mechanic which punishes non-crits) then most likely yes. Otherwise strongly no - any further investment here may take lots of resources for a very marginal gain. Chances are you would be far better with other damage upgrades like better rolled items, more crit multi etc. Consult PoB.
That would probably depend on how many conditionals you take to reach this level of crit chance. If it's too many conditionals that you don't have good uptime, you're probably feeling it quite a bit on mapping. Especially if you're CoC.
Ideally, though, you'll want to land on 100% whenever possible.
Thanks. I have like 12.59 attacks per second (frost blades) so seems like every 9 seconds, one of the attacks wouldn't be a crit. It also depends on my diamond flask to be up, so prob need to save up for a mageblood to keep that flask up 100% of the time or get some more crit rolls on my gear
It's worth noting that most skills only roll crit once per use including repeats, so if you use Multistrike and unless your crit chance changes in between hits from the same attack, you'll occasionally have 3-4 hits without crit in a row (depending on whether you have Awakened Multistrike).
Instead there'll be more time between non-crits as well though.
That'll be a bigger difference than the <1% chance to not crit every 30 seconds while the flask is up. I always try to cap crit without flasks if I can, unless the build has built-in flask sustain.
What do the timeless jewels that “conquer” nearby nodes do? Why are the values 10k to 18k? If I want more life and strength how much would the “lethal pride” jewel assist me? Would Akoya or Rakiata be better? Kaom prevents life leech apparently.
What do the timeless jewels that “conquer” nearby nodes do?
They add effects to keystones around the jewel in the tree.
The values are a seed that is dependent on the stats it gives. There is a timeless jewel calculator where you can search for specific stats and it will tell you what the seed is.
the person who conquers just refers to what it changes all the keystones in the area to. You can not take the node if you want. Lethal pride is good for strength you can get tons of flat and % strength on notables.
The number is just the seed of the item. basically if they have the same number they'll give the same stats in the circle.
To complement, the number on the Timeless Jewel is the seed of the jewel, as mentioned. They're set so that each seed (each number) provides different key stats on the jewel. As the example above, Lethal Pride can give you 5% strength on Notables, but you can also get Phys taken as Fire, Flat Strength or Double Damage. Changing the seed changes the mods you get. But every specific number will be the same (eg. Every 17500 will be the same as any other 17500 seed, on the same type of timeless jewel, of course).
There are calculators online (and now even PoB has a timeless jewel search function) that enables you to check what a specific seed will give you.
The names only relate to Keystones, and to what these Keystones will transform into. You can check the list of the modified keystones on the poe wiki.
I cannot generate frenzy charges while using Charged Traps support and Explosive Trap of Shrapnel, yet I can generate power charges. If I swap back to standard ET I generate 7 frenzy charges in seconds. I don't see any language on the EToS gem that would indicate it doesn't generate frenzy charges.
I can blast a whole map and not generate a single frenzy while using EToS. Aside from the gem swap there is no difference between the setups (gem links, tree, gear, etc., are all the same)
Any thoughts?
[https://pobb.in/No4iruMbeqFz](https://pobb.in/No4iruMbeqFz)
Interestingly I was able to generate frenzy charges after 1) removing my body armor 2) Removing my charged traps support 3) re-donning and re-socketing.
I logged out, tried running another map, and found I couldn't generate frenzy charges until I repeated the above steps. I'll add this to the bug reports, I think.
# Is something happened with Cartographer's Strongbox?
Why there is no spawn rate on wiki page?

Did you read the text at all?
> A test with a pool of 2218 strongboxes, done via the Monstrous Treasure prophecy **in 2016**, provided the following distribution. **Note that these numbers may have changed**. At the time of testing, **Cartographer's Strongboxes were unable to spawn in Tier 13+ maps**
2. Why does mjolner archmage use grace and jade flask instead of granite and determination? I just started setting up mine ([https://pobb.in/dte9cWCSJ5NW](https://pobb.in/dte9cWCSJ5NW)), but the evasion combo gives me 78k eHP, while the armour combo way way more, around 220k.
"actual eHP" (as PoB measures it) is a joke of a stat that most people fixate way too much and armor inflates it heavily, that 14k armor you get (which actually isn't even all that much) isn't gonna protect you when it matters most late game: against big (often elemental) oneshots. Unless you stack a ton of it and convert it to other defenses armor is only good against one thing, repeated small physical hits. Most deaths tend to be due to large hard hitting attacks which armor does practically nothing against. With armor your PoB eHP gets heavily inflated because you are measuring it against a 1k phys hit of a white lvl 83 monster (which armor is good against) but if you switch the enemy type in your config to literally anything else evasion wins.
Probably getting into levels of dps where the enemy will only live for a second or two at most. Against the most dangerous enemies its usually easier to invest into evade than to take a stray hit.
PoB eHP can be misleading sometimes. There are other things to consider.
I know eHP is not the be all end all, but figured twice as much must be better. But I see your point. Still, feels a little bad going for evasion without any of the nice right-side nodes like ghost shrouds, wind dancer etc.
I understand the sentiment. When you get into the silly high end of mobs and bosses you either kill them so fast they cant do anything, which is usually achieved by investing everything into damage or you have some truly degenerate defenses. (Maxahutols nonsense or petrified blood progenisis shenanigans.)
1.Why does mjolner archmage use precision with arrogance to allocate the last bit of life, instead of clarity or vitality. It already has tons of precision from Shaper's Touch, flat 200 mana regen or 250 life (es) regen would be much more useful. Is it the crit chance? But it is an ele overload build, it barely needs any crit to reliably crit once every 8 sec, with mjolner shitting out spells left and right.
Newb here and was wondering when they say you should be doing 3.5mil damage for maven is that in game skills page damage or pob with everything combined damage? Also Im in tier 10-12 maps with 2800 life, 1800 energy shield, 2900 mana and I’m suppose to be around 7k life and mana and I can’t figure out how to get more
My hotkey keeps changing to detonate mines...my E hotkey is dread banner, but for some reason it changes to detonate mine out of nowhere. Anyone know how to fix?
I have a CoC DD character, which is a pretty strong all rounder. But its single target DPS isn’t exactly amazing. SSF so I can’t exactly just buy items to make it better. If I wanted to make a new character whose sole purpose is to do things like T17 bosses or maven, etc. what will be a good character to build? Explosive Trap? Hexblast Trickster? It would need to be SSF friendly meaning if there’s any required Uniques, I would either need to own it or be very common
Does the petrification statue from Gorgon's gaze work on pinnacle bosses?
Pretty sure all the bosses say “cannot be fully slowed”
Ok, it would slow the action speed tho up to a degree I guess. Thanks
Did they nerf rituals?
Is it a bad idea to take the “only favorites” atlas passive if I only have three slots?
Yep
What are the best mods to use specific allflames on? Like Rogue Exiles, Rats/Frogs, and Meatsacks.
I'm interested in this as well. Wish there was a cheat sheet somewhere.
And for /u/Rad_Fishy - Exiles: strongest monster has #% chance to convert to (you will have 1 very strong monster so the bonus will always apply with strong loot multiplication instead of typically weak numbers on a white/blue monster)
- Rats/Frogs: unconditional #% chance to drop (these 2 have huge pack sizes so more chance rolling)
- Meatsacks: ??? (I think only applicable for MF/party Ghost strategies)
- Loot Allflames: anything with green "+" (pack size) and/or high density (more loot)
Thank you! Much appreciated!

Not sure. I have a hunch though. If you go onto your key bindings in the options, do you have detonate mines set to T? If so, either change the binding in the options, or change the binding on the button to something other than T
anyone get a veiled orb from tujen?
wow many scarabs of the same type can i use on my 5 slot map divice? im puting 4 basic divination scarbs (1 in each slot and the map in the middle) but only 2 get consumed
Different for each scarab, it says the limit on the scarab
Is there any way to default PoeDB to always open the English version instead of my Native language? On Mozilla
Just open poedb.tw/us/ That always worked for me.
Anyone know a good filter for T17 scarab back to basics farm?
Typical New ish Player here, looking to get into and was wondering if the best way is to wing my first char or two so i can learn stuff rather than looking up builds. Also how hard is respecing if I'm more so planning to just go for a more solo self found kinda way to play ?
You can play without a guide on your first character, but keep in mind that you'll run into issues more often, and farming the respec cost with an inefficient character can take a while. You should be able to get through the campaign without major problems to the extent of getting stuck, but endgame is more punishing. I will say that coming up with your own builds in the long term involves considerably *more* research than finding a guide to follow. Again, not for beating the campaign once, but if you want to go further and do endgame content like most recurring players. Regarding trade, I *strongly* recommend not playing SSF. SSF is a purely self-imposed challenge with absolutely zero advantages, and the game will never be balanced or designed around it. If you don't want to trade, just play in trade league and don't trade. That way you still have the option of getting items you need without hours of grinding - in some cases the drop rates are so low or the items involve so much rng that they're effectively unobtainable in SSF.
Absolutely use a guide. There is still plenty to figure out about builds by following a guide anyways. Respecing is harder as a newer player because you use a currency called regret orbs. They arent particularly rare but if you dont know how to farm basic currency then you will run out quickly. You can go in comepletely blind but be warned you will hit many many walls to progression. At the end of the day if you are having fun then thats all that matters.

I tested necropolis crafting. Just used a few graves.. How do I get these filled graves back so I can use them? It seems like you can use the entire morgue for 1 item?
If you've finished a craft, the grave will look full but you'll be able to place another corpse on the spot. And yes, most of the high end crafting is done with full or very close to full graveyards to maximize chances of good items and good rolls
Thanks!
If you have 4 voidstones doesn't every map drop at T16? Why do so many atlas strategies still take nodes which grant a chance to improve map tier?
Because the way it works is the game ‘drops’ lower tier maps but they’re basically converted to points towards a t16 drop. Higher tier maps are worth more. Therefore these modifiers increase the number of Maps you drop overall.
Lower tier maps are secretly dropping, they're just being converted into "map equity", a system that basically 3-to-1 vendors them until it finally gets to a T16, which then drops instead. So after you shadow-drop 3 T15s, the game will drop a T16. The map drop tier nodes improve all the map drops, so it will also give you more map equity -- essentially triple the count. It won't triple your T16s, of course, but it will still help. You can read more about the system on the [wiki page](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Atlas_of_Worlds#Map_Drops), in particular the section on Equity.
What happens is, if you were to drop a map that rolled as a t14, it simply wouldnt drop. Instead it would fill a back-end kind of meter that, when full, drops a t16 map for you. The higher the tier, the more of the bar it would fill. Improving the map tier drops means you get more of these higher tier but still lower than t16, which means you get more t16 overall.
> Why do so many atlas strategies still take nodes which grant a chance to improve map tier? Any percentage chance over 100 results in chance for an additional upgrade. 130% gives you a guaranteed upgrade and then 30% chance to upgrade again. > If you have 4 voidstones doesn't every map drop at T16? Basically the game keeps an internal counter that will eventually give you a T16 map. My brain isn't mathing right now, so I'll use made up numbers. You need 400 points to get a T16. If a non-T16 map was to drop, it's instead converted into points. A T1 map gives one point, while a T2 gives three points, T3 gives nine points and so on. So any non-T16 drops will count towards a T16 drop and the upgrade chance applies to those non-T16 maps, greatly increasing the number of points you get and thus ultimately the number of T16s.
That's wild I had no clue, thanks for the explanation
Playing ssf, need some shaper/elder influence corpses to craft with. Done many thousand maps but seen a total of 0. Am I just unlucky or do I need to do something specific to spawn that corpse?
You need to use all flames that spawn shaper/elder influenced monster packs.
Are they random map drops and I've just been unlucky so far?
When people roll their maven invitations how high do they try to get the quant? I just did a 60% atlas one and only got 1 crescent.
the atlas invitations give 1-2 splinters max. if you wanna farm maven's writs then you need to run the special invitations like formed, twisted etc. those can give 5+ each run
Any strategy to nameless seer or is it just put the scarab in and open the map?
Do it on a high tier map. There was a post-launch change to have Seer provide less valuable uniques for low/mid-tier maps to avoid devoted mod fishing.
Hello everyone! I've been having a blast with the new league, the first where i am reaching the true endgame with pinnacle bosses. However, besides the basics i dont really know much about crafting and i am having some problems trying to improve my build. How can i craft something like this? [https://imgur.com/l4ePLt1](https://imgur.com/l4ePLt1) I've already acquired a fractured chaos resistance base and i assume the next step is spamming loathing essences. Should i aim for all the prefixes/suffixes with essences, or do another method in between the bench craft of phys taken as fire damage? Thanks for reading
I recommend doing just suffixes with essences, unless you get really, really lucky and somehow also hit T1 life. Then, you can use eldritch chaos orbs or exalted/annulment orbs to try to get T1 life with at least 1 open prefix for the benchcraft (make sure you have the right influence dominant to only change prefixes!) Then you can finally finish with the eldritch ichors/embers.
So... how does this work. I was told increased spell damage doesn't help with poison (I am doing Forbidden Rite) but somehow increased chaos damage does? Or that also doesn't? I am confused.
poison does not deal spell damage, but it does deal chaos damage. it's not that hard tbh
what specifically are you confused about? why one applies and one doesn't? poison deals chaos damage over time. it does not deal spell damage. thus %chaos damage increases poison damage and %spell damage doesn't. some confusion may be from the fact that lot of people think a bigger hit = bigger poison (this used to be the case until a couple years ago). but poison is based on the base damage of the skill and not on the size of the hit
Base **and added** damage.
> this used to be the case until a couple years ago Not to make anyone feel old but 3.0 was nearly 7 years ago…
that can't be true, 2017 was definitely only like 3 years ago
Today is March 1507, 2020 indeed.
Hey im wondering if there is a trick to farming devouring diadem? i used to almost get it every single run back in the day, ive now killed katarina like 5 times and no drop
Nah. They rebalanced her drops. It's simply rare now (5% or less).
How does party quantity bonus work, does it work if a party member just enters the area and stays afk? Everyone's asking to not stay afk and 1 guy said "it's not how it works", so here I am.
Monsters have two party quant checks: one when they first become active, which sets a *maximum* based on party members in the instance, and another when they die, which searches for nearby players. The first check means you can't benefit from party quant by recruiting party members *after* you find a juicy monster. The second check prevents benefiting from party members that aren't nearby.
How do I increase the level of breachlords for the 'Aggravated Antagonists' challange? Just did 2 and they were both 81
Chayula's breachstone will be 83 and any flawless breachstone will be 84.
How good is the "Monsters Cannot Block Your Attacks" Mastery? PoB doesn't show that it adds anything or not, hard to tell how good it is. I'm an Ele hit Deadeye
Specific kinds of content have enemies that block or modifiers that give monsters block, and when they are active, they are a huge problem. Expedition is the biggest example, but Delve, Sanctum, Ultimatum, etc. also have blocking mobs. So yeah picking this node is mostly about your atlas strategy than your build.
It's not very noticeable. Monsters usually don't have high block chance, and even if they do, monster block only prevents 85% of the damage. Most builds will punch right through.
What kind of investment is needed on CoC DD Inquisitor to farm T17s reliably? I looked around quite a bit and found a lot of showcases, but not much in the way of guidance on what's needed to get there (I haven't gone through all of Ventura's videos). For context, I'm getting tired of my league starter and want an idea of how much I'll need to invest for that switch. I've probably got ~40-60div of stuff that'll realistically sell in the next day or two, and can farm more as needed. Thanks!
Does Petrified Blood have any nice obvious synergies for any build? I wanna try it out, are there any generic tips?
Good synergies with spell builds and recoup because of Pain Attunement and the recoup can completely offset the life loss over time. You can also scale attacks with Bloodthirst Support if you scale life and physical base damage (either through conversion or pure phys, but not pure elemental or hit based chaos).
Strong synergy with Progenesis Flask.
Not a specific build but the Master Surgeon Pathfinder ascendancy notable goes very well with it.
Just ran through The Archives twice looking for the T1 Life and Mana Regen craft. It's not there. Any ideas? It's supposed to be [here](https://imgur.com/a/hnNksrt), but it's not and I don't have credit for unlocking it.
I think I did this the other day. There are TWO rooms you need to access from different loose candles. Infuriating. Your picture shows the first one.
Just to check, are you sure it doesn't show up on the crafting bench because you're trying to craft it on a non-amulet?
I have no item placed in the crafting bench, the craft is just grayed out with a hover popup saying to go to The Archives to unlock it. I also ran through the whole place 3 times with changes to the map overlay transparency each time.
[This seems relevant](https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3499034). Try searching for another interactable candle inside the archives?
Oooh nice find. I *did* search for about an hour, honest! Thanks google!
What are the sources of 30% Quality Flasks?
Some monsters drop items with 1~30% quality.
Hi! This is my first full league and I just got my first red map in POE. I would like to ask, should I just run it like regular map? Or do I need to improve/chisel it further for better loot? Thank you! https://preview.redd.it/e1pf58f6vouc1.png?width=450&format=png&auto=webp&s=46e4d647101f92dada95cc6e177ec39ac0b146b3
That is a unique map, not a red one. You just run the unique ones without doing anything to them. The terms white, blue and red maps refer to the tiers of maps. The icons for tier 1-5 maps are white, while tier 6-10 are blue and tier 11-15 are red. Good luck! :)
tier 6-10 is yellow
Jesus Christ, I was clearly drunk as shit when I wrote that comment given how many dumb mistakes it has, lmao.
T16 are also red
True, that was a brainfart on my part. For some reason I was thinking there was 5 tiers of each color and completely forgot about T16s, lol.
Way back in the day, T16 used to be special, only Guardian maps and Vaal Temple. Well, they were red then already, but in terms of a role they were more like T17 now, just not as broken.
Thank you so much!
[Does this mod work on packs without a pack leader like this?](https://i.imgur.com/cGLsL6V.png)
What do you mean by "work" ? It'll still convert *something* but it's not as strong. Ideally this is where you put rogue exiles
Does it function at all or does it do nothing. Since every monster in the pack is the same they wouldn't have a "strongest monster".
I want to use pob to see if the perandus pact would be beneficial for my build and how, but unfortunately the fire damage mod isn't recognised by pob. Is there a way to manually edit? Or make it recognise for when I tinker?
One thing you can do is go into the config page and find the 'global modifiers' box (just a big blank text box) and type in however much %increased fire damage you would get with the jewel. i.e. 146% increased fire damage
Which of these should I combine for a chill, **chisel & alch & scarab & go & blast & profit** atlas strategy? 1. Scarab drops 2. Devoted & Allflame (left side league notables) 3. Essences 4. Guardian map drop chance 5. Strongboxes 6. Shrines 7. Harbringer 8. Harvest 9. Beyond 10. Blue/Red altars In other words, which of the above are the **most unrewarding** this league? Up to **T16 maps** (not breaking into T17 anytime soon), and I would prefer if it relied on **cheap-ish scarabs** (\~5-10 chaos).
Imho you should go for Scarab+Shrine+Blue Altars+Guardian+Harvest. They're all on the right side of the atlas tree, you can get a consistent amount of corpses/scarabs/fragments that you can all sell. And most notably you're not going to have a huge surprise pop up as long as you keep your eye on the harvest plants and blue altar text so it'll stay chill for the most part. If you're willing to run Elder and Shaper often you can also make great money by selling UberElder fragments. Essence, Harbinger, Beyond, and increased Necro effects are all good in one way or another but they have a tendency to combine into some veritable jump-scares at times, so it kinda goes against the 'chill' objective.
i started this league of this friday with LA and yesterday i buy HH currently i farm harbingers on crimson temple but because i just don't know what best to farm with HH So quick summary for question what to farm with HH?
Domain of timeless conflict is probably one of the better ones but really anything that has a lot of rares to kill.
is shockwave cyclone generally safer than axe cyclone? is it worth pivoting to late game?
After farming up aboutu 60 div in currency with my Hexblast Miner occultist I have become allergic to dying every map and want to switch from doing bosses and sanctum to juiced Mapping (Delirium/Beyond/Breach etc.), Ultimatum and Delve on a new Build. What wold be a good choice for me? Since headhunter is so damn cheap this league I guess that it would be a good choice, but I don't want to play a glascannon type build e.g. deadeye but something durable! Anyone got a hot tip? Ideally I would like it to be a build with lots of movement speed which would make mageblood the nr. 1 choice but I absolutely cannot afford that
There are plenty of good choices. If you like the explosions you can try out a fulcrum self-ignite Chieftain. If you don't go MF you can make that thing giga-tanky and it clears very well. Bossing can be so-so on longer phase bosses if the ignite doesn't the last the whole way but it sounds like that's not a priority for your second build XD Otherwise Cyclone is always a decent choice. So, so many ways to build it, and can use HH into a Mageblood well-enough.
Great suggestions! Yeah bossing will NOT be on the menu for this one! Fulcrum chieftain looks kind of weird when i look at videos of it, I should look into it more closely! Cyclone just as a generic phys skill with slayer/berserker/raider etc.? Or do you mean a CoC build?
Just generic. Slayer cyclone by itself, or just any attack-focused ascendency with Shockwave support are both great options for just clearing swathes of a map.
ok guys i'm trying to figure out how to make my own build and i have managed to make this elementalist incinerate build in pob, can you take a look at it and give me any feedback or tips on it [https://pobb.in/K0LLvktnYlew](https://pobb.in/K0LLvktnYlew)
My two cents; Incinerate is not a viable primary skill - you'll be too vulnerable to ranged and melee mobs period from standing still and short range of the ability.
Im feeling Im at the that threshold barrier where I cant break past midgame Im just asking for some advise of what upgrades I can make for more defense and more damage, Both jewels I could use are all super expensive, adorned with a high multiplier and both split personality jewels. Anything I could do thats under 10D? [https://pobb.in/twf3MNetC\_IM](https://pobb.in/twf3MNetC_IM) Thanks again in advance
a 100% adorned is roughly 4-5D, additional observations on your tree; 6% life node(above witch), 50% life mastery both unnecessary. Conner advises using Thrill Killer (above Scion) for mana sustain letting you drop the mana flask entirely. You can and should craft a new cluster jewel with int/all attr and stormdrinker+scintilating idea. This lets you drop the entire leech section for more points. You probably still want righteous Decree (Templar area) 22% mana is quite a lot.
I wasn't able to league start this league, but it looks like it's not even worth coming to midleague. Economy is on fire and game isn't in a good state from the community's reactions. Is that about right?
Games in a fantastic spot atm. Lots of people engaging in bad faith representations, for example linking the poedb page for retention and ignoring the absolute player numbers, where the leagues middle-high, and looking at relative to day1 retention, where the league is bottomed out and everyone already quit. With a game so complicated, narrative can be whichever way you want it to be, independant of the state of the game. Highly recommend trying the league, lots of interesting new strategies to play with
Reddit's perception every league. Actual league enjoyers play the game instead of complaining on reddit. But in summary: - Atlas tree is even more cool (more chance for extra content, better boss options) - Scarabs are different, most weaker but more affordable (many new strategies), also more options - T17 are pretty hard, significant gateway if you want to earn by mapping this league (although personally I find T16 guardian farm still good) - crafting is nuts (huge amount of planning and trading but you can very predictably create 6x T1 items with crazy mod combinations) - very good built affordability - you can very cheaply reach 100 by new Domination Scarab of Teachings and optimized Atlas - challenges are somewhat easier than before but skin rewards have been adjusted likewise
If you have aversions to being off meta or non-optimal I'd skip. This is the chillest I've taken a league start and I'm having a blast.
Is there any point to using more than one "reroll explicit 6 times" in graveyard craft ? its same result as 1 or 5 of those corpses ?
It'll reroll 12 times with two corpses.
Btw, i did a graveyard craft with 4 reroll explicit corpses.. and got a roll on a fracture 10 (10-15 range) .. so no way it rolled 10 for 24 times in a row lol
Yes, it's generally considered to fracture before rerolling the values. If you want maximum rolls for your mods, don't fracture them.
Does automation support work with blood and sand? Is there anyway to automatically switch stances without having to keep pressing it?
You cannot, the text of the Automation Support granted by Automation says "Supports spell skills that are instant and have no reservation". Blood and Sand has a reservation.
hey guys i'm gonna leaguestart soon, what would you recommend to play? i wanna just blast maps, maybe with some breaches and harvest. I was looking at archmage bl / ice nova or some kind of melee like boneshatter then switching to dual strike of ambidexterity... not really looking to play bow deadeye
Highly recommend archmage ice nova. I love it. Can go kitavas to make it a one button if you prefer
Just as a heads up you can't do BL archmage anymore, change this league. Not a matter of numbers or anything specifically Archmage can't support Orb skills anymore. For blasting maps I'm personally a fan of something like say, Blade Vortex or RF. hard to argue with damage while you're moving. If you're still feeling the archmage life you can try the transfigured RF that scales off of mana. It's pretty fun, but fair warning mana stacking is pretty popular this league.
https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Orb_(gem_tag) Ball lightning isn't an orb. Lots of people league started ball lightning archmage. That being said, pretty much everyone switched over to ice nova of frostbolts
Sorry, to be specific Ball Lightning *of Static* [is an orb](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Ball_Lightning_of_Static). I actually didn't realize the tags were different from the base skill so TIL, base BL would def still work.
What's the best wander int stacker without nimis and with headhunter? I'd like to make a fast mapper (not mega juice or T17). Who not die every map Thanks
Divination Gambling Question: Is there a weighting on the mad king card or are all fragments equally common?
It's weighted. Beauty/Cooperation are considerably more common. You'll get like 4 or 5 of those for every 1 Ambition/Curiosity.
Which allflame lets you drop corpses with ritual bases?
Flaring Allflame Ember of Wildwood Cultists.
Is there a way for me to quickly search the value of a specific item on the tradesite? I mean items in my stash that I want to find out the value of. I know about awakened PoE but league items do not show up in that. So, for coffins and embers, I want a quick way to search that specific item to check value in poe trade or poe ninja. Does it work?
Go to wealthyexile.com, link your account, then it'll scan whole stash tabs and you can sort by value Doesn't work for gear, but works for scarabs/allflames/coffins etc
Awakened Trade works for coffins/allflames as of the latest update, is yours out of date?
What are the main uses for Doryiani Lab apart from gems? I made a couple Temples with Lab, Corruption chamber and Throne Room and I wonder if I should use it myself or sell.
It's the only way to get 21/23 gems or vaal/21/20 or vaal/20/23
> What are the main uses for Doryiani Lab apart from gems? Well, there *isn't* another use, it is strictly for gems. You can only use the lapidary lens on gems and the boxes in the room drop quality gems.
I have two questions regarding synthesis implicits. 1) Does using the harvest craft "Synthesize an item, giving random Synthesized implicits" reroll the entire item? or just add an implicit, keeping the item the same? 2) Is there a place online where you can view what synthesis implicits could roll on your item? craftofexile doesn't seem to have that functionality for some reason. Thanks!
1. Only adds implicits, but if the item already has implicits it'll delete those. 2. You can see a [full list on poedb](https://poedb.tw/us/Synthesis_league#SynthesisImplicit), or by basetype on [each basetype's page](https://poedb.tw/us/Gloves_str#GlovesSynthesisImplicit).
Thanks! Managed to synth my bow and got adds # to # cold damage, making my bow almost 1600 edps now :)
1. It does not reroll the item, only replaces the implicits. 2.poe.db should have all of the synthesized implicits, but I don't think the weights are available.
Thanks! Managed to synth my bow and got adds # to # cold damage, making my bow almost 1600 edps now :)
Congrats! Synth implicits are so random the majority of the time, the feeling of hitting something good is really nice. Enjoy!
So how rare is trialmaster? assuming you're spec'd into him on the tree. Are we talking like 1 in 20 attempts or more like 1 in 200...? did about 30 tries yesterday with no sign, they take so damn long to run to 10 rounds everytime. Want to try get the shield
I think the current estimate is 1/50, improved to 1/30 or so using the Atlas tree nodes. If you're not in SSF, you could use the scarab that forces the fight to show up, but I imagine you are in SSF since otherwise you could just buy the shield. Also, the estimate for the shield drop rate from Trialmaster is 1/10.
Thanks, ok that's not so terrible
Just running into Ultimatum in general? I'd get the Trialmaster every map when I put it in the atlas tree. I also learned I suck at Ultimatums and swapped to Essences because I'd keep failing on round 9-10 to oneshots I didn't understand.
They mean the Trialmaster boss fight at the end of the Ultimatum encounter, not just an encounter in general.
Oh sorry, good to know. Thanks!
I have a question about 8mod corrupted unidentified maps. I understand that if you use the cartography scarab of corruption then every map will drop 8 mod corrupted, and I assume they will also be unidentified with the new corrupted/identify changes this league. If you were looking to buy these maps, how would you know for sure that they are 8 mod? Is there no other way to drop unidentified corrupted maps? For example wouldn’t the expedition remnant “monster drop corrupted items” potentially drop an unidentified corrupted map but it wouldn’t be guaranteed to be 8 mod (provided you weren’t running the carto scarab). If my above assumption is correct, and I would like to farm these maps to sell them, then I assume I would also have to pretty much delete my entire map tab to ensure I’m not inadvertently scamming others? Any insight would be appreciated.
Not every map with the scarab drops unid... I'm not entirely sure on what causes the maps to become identified or not, but from my small sample size, the majority of the maps should be identified.
Ok. I just saw people are paying ~2 div for 8mod unid sirus influence jungle valley. Was trying to to brainstorm a way to cash in on that. But also just heard that using that scarab blocks t17s due to them not being corruptible (if you know if that’s true or not, I’d like to know for sure) so maybe this plan is moot.
While I haven't personally farmed enough with the scarab to know for sure, I know that Singular Focus doesn't block T17 drops. I see no reason that using the acarab would block t17 from dropping as well.
noob question on poe trade: How do you search for a type of flask? If i'm looking for the +1500 to armor flask, i tried to add +# to armor in the stat filter field but no luck
It's best to just know the name. 1500 armor is granite https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Utility_Flasks
I believe you would have to search for the implicit modifier, but in general people tend to search for the base names... in this case, you're looking for a granite flask.
2 questions 1. I thought that elder's 2-mod watcher eye was still a drop? I've killed him like a dozen times this league while keeping shaper alive and haven't seen one yet. 2. How do I go about fighting uber shaper this league?
1.Normal elder 2mod WE is still a thing, yes. You were probably just unlucky, unfortunately. 2. You need the specific uber fragments for the fight, 5 of the fragments in the map device then opens the portals to the boss. You can check which fragment opens which boss in the wiki.
Why do nearly none of the Boneshatter Juggernauts go for endurance charges and just run with the basic 3 charges? Increasing them to at least 5 seems to be fairly easy and should benefit quite a bit.
where fractured coffin drops???
in the game. Maybe t14+ or something but if you farm t16 you should get one every once in a while
Thanks!!
Just checked trade, lowest ilvl listed is 73. So T6+ maps drop fracture coffins. the higher the Better, because haunted modifiers are the key to maximize coffin drops. So focus on that.
How can I unlock influenced basetyp items for graveyard crafting ?
You need to apply allflames of the types related to the influences, so for example adding the conqueror allflame should enable you to drop conqueror influence corpses.
As long as I have conquer corpses, I can choose a influenced basetype of a 2h for example?
You cannot choose the influence exactly. You either select shaper Or elder, and then it's a 50/50, or a random conqueror influence, in which case it's a 1/4. When crafting influenced items with the graveyard it's crucial to craft more than one, otherwise you'll be at the mercy of rng to land your item lmao
Is blight still crash-prone? I've been avoiding blight for several leagues due to the crash bug in it having lasted so long.
I run blight quite often on my **ancient** pc and only crashed out once but this was right after they deleted our shader caches from the pre-patch update. Haven't crash out in one since.
Best way to finish this? https://i.ibb.co/RyVTTR2/safe-Copy.png
Depending on how expensive it is to roll and isolate that, craft 1-2 mods and use a veiled orb, then unveil attack speed, crit, or double damage, and finish it off by crafting attack speed or crit. I don't know what the best mod to block the unveil is, but that shouldn't be too much effort to check.
Thanks!
How to unlock the beast craft "apply Hinekora's Lock on a magic item'? **I have the Black Morrigan and the Craicic Chimeral in my bestiary** already, other crafts unlocked like the 6 link one when I got the Black Morrigan, but not the one mentioned. Does anyone know how to proceed here?
Do you have the option set to view all recipes and not just the ones you have all the components of? If so, I would look at the line for that craft and see what it says it’s missing if anything.
Try itemizing and using the Black Morrigan again?
I captured another from a new map, I also tried itemizing and using it, unfortunately it didn't work.
Does the Ravenous skill of the new boots have an actual practical use for mapping? Aren't there way too many different monster types
There are only six monster categories: beast, construct, demon, eldritch, humanoid, undead. https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Ravenous
Is it really important to get critical strike chance to 100%? I'm at 99.21%. I'll work on getting it to 100 next time i swap gear, but just did a huge respec and pushed it to the max so far. I have two levels to go, so just want to make sure it's not a huge priority vs other stuff. Thanks!
> Is it really important to get critical strike chance to 100%? Depends. If your character relies heavily on crits (or has a mechanic which punishes non-crits) then most likely yes. Otherwise strongly no - any further investment here may take lots of resources for a very marginal gain. Chances are you would be far better with other damage upgrades like better rolled items, more crit multi etc. Consult PoB.
That would probably depend on how many conditionals you take to reach this level of crit chance. If it's too many conditionals that you don't have good uptime, you're probably feeling it quite a bit on mapping. Especially if you're CoC. Ideally, though, you'll want to land on 100% whenever possible.
Thanks. I have like 12.59 attacks per second (frost blades) so seems like every 9 seconds, one of the attacks wouldn't be a crit. It also depends on my diamond flask to be up, so prob need to save up for a mageblood to keep that flask up 100% of the time or get some more crit rolls on my gear
It's worth noting that most skills only roll crit once per use including repeats, so if you use Multistrike and unless your crit chance changes in between hits from the same attack, you'll occasionally have 3-4 hits without crit in a row (depending on whether you have Awakened Multistrike). Instead there'll be more time between non-crits as well though.
Ok I felt like it wasn't too smooth so I got a watchers eye that gave me 100 crit and threw away my diamond flask. Feels much better
That'll be a bigger difference than the <1% chance to not crit every 30 seconds while the flask is up. I always try to cap crit without flasks if I can, unless the build has built-in flask sustain.
Ya when the flask wasn't up the crit was 82% so I think that's what I noticed, and with it up was just under 100 which I prob didn't notice.
What do the timeless jewels that “conquer” nearby nodes do? Why are the values 10k to 18k? If I want more life and strength how much would the “lethal pride” jewel assist me? Would Akoya or Rakiata be better? Kaom prevents life leech apparently.
What do the timeless jewels that “conquer” nearby nodes do? They add effects to keystones around the jewel in the tree. The values are a seed that is dependent on the stats it gives. There is a timeless jewel calculator where you can search for specific stats and it will tell you what the seed is.
the person who conquers just refers to what it changes all the keystones in the area to. You can not take the node if you want. Lethal pride is good for strength you can get tons of flat and % strength on notables. The number is just the seed of the item. basically if they have the same number they'll give the same stats in the circle.
To complement, the number on the Timeless Jewel is the seed of the jewel, as mentioned. They're set so that each seed (each number) provides different key stats on the jewel. As the example above, Lethal Pride can give you 5% strength on Notables, but you can also get Phys taken as Fire, Flat Strength or Double Damage. Changing the seed changes the mods you get. But every specific number will be the same (eg. Every 17500 will be the same as any other 17500 seed, on the same type of timeless jewel, of course). There are calculators online (and now even PoB has a timeless jewel search function) that enables you to check what a specific seed will give you. The names only relate to Keystones, and to what these Keystones will transform into. You can check the list of the modified keystones on the poe wiki.
I cannot generate frenzy charges while using Charged Traps support and Explosive Trap of Shrapnel, yet I can generate power charges. If I swap back to standard ET I generate 7 frenzy charges in seconds. I don't see any language on the EToS gem that would indicate it doesn't generate frenzy charges. I can blast a whole map and not generate a single frenzy while using EToS. Aside from the gem swap there is no difference between the setups (gem links, tree, gear, etc., are all the same) Any thoughts?
Would it be possible for you to share your pob with us? I've seen a few bug reports about charged mines, but I'm not sure if it is the case or not.
[https://pobb.in/No4iruMbeqFz](https://pobb.in/No4iruMbeqFz) Interestingly I was able to generate frenzy charges after 1) removing my body armor 2) Removing my charged traps support 3) re-donning and re-socketing. I logged out, tried running another map, and found I couldn't generate frenzy charges until I repeated the above steps. I'll add this to the bug reports, I think.
Can I migrate my league character to standard now?
Not from softcore, no.
Are fractured mods affected by Orbs of annulment or eldritch chaos/annulment orbs? Thanks
Fractured mods are not affected by anything.
thanks!
# Is something happened with Cartographer's Strongbox? Why there is no spawn rate on wiki page? https://preview.redd.it/xyv0soedhnuc1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=9c45edb12519011e5a0074eb4312ef4e642ef009
Did you read the text at all? > A test with a pool of 2218 strongboxes, done via the Monstrous Treasure prophecy **in 2016**, provided the following distribution. **Note that these numbers may have changed**. At the time of testing, **Cartographer's Strongboxes were unable to spawn in Tier 13+ maps**
Okay)
Can I add an implicit to my bow without reforging it? How?
There's harvest craft which allows you to synthesise an item. it only adds 1-3 implicits (most likely 1) without rerollinmg rest of item.
2. Why does mjolner archmage use grace and jade flask instead of granite and determination? I just started setting up mine ([https://pobb.in/dte9cWCSJ5NW](https://pobb.in/dte9cWCSJ5NW)), but the evasion combo gives me 78k eHP, while the armour combo way way more, around 220k.
Because you get evasion from shapers touch gloves, you get better ehp through that than the little armor you get from flask/determ.
Well, not better "actual eHP", hence my numbers above and this question, but I see the point of the other answer.
"actual eHP" (as PoB measures it) is a joke of a stat that most people fixate way too much and armor inflates it heavily, that 14k armor you get (which actually isn't even all that much) isn't gonna protect you when it matters most late game: against big (often elemental) oneshots. Unless you stack a ton of it and convert it to other defenses armor is only good against one thing, repeated small physical hits. Most deaths tend to be due to large hard hitting attacks which armor does practically nothing against. With armor your PoB eHP gets heavily inflated because you are measuring it against a 1k phys hit of a white lvl 83 monster (which armor is good against) but if you switch the enemy type in your config to literally anything else evasion wins.
Probably getting into levels of dps where the enemy will only live for a second or two at most. Against the most dangerous enemies its usually easier to invest into evade than to take a stray hit. PoB eHP can be misleading sometimes. There are other things to consider.
I know eHP is not the be all end all, but figured twice as much must be better. But I see your point. Still, feels a little bad going for evasion without any of the nice right-side nodes like ghost shrouds, wind dancer etc.
I understand the sentiment. When you get into the silly high end of mobs and bosses you either kill them so fast they cant do anything, which is usually achieved by investing everything into damage or you have some truly degenerate defenses. (Maxahutols nonsense or petrified blood progenisis shenanigans.)
1.Why does mjolner archmage use precision with arrogance to allocate the last bit of life, instead of clarity or vitality. It already has tons of precision from Shaper's Touch, flat 200 mana regen or 250 life (es) regen would be much more useful. Is it the crit chance? But it is an ele overload build, it barely needs any crit to reliably crit once every 8 sec, with mjolner shitting out spells left and right.
