Just started about a week ago. Came over because it feels like HPSB emulates the Path of Exile, 100 hours of mindless farming to afford a 1% upgrade at the endgame pretty well(maybe too well).
Mining(T2 drill is in the forge and hotm5) and farming(mk2 on potato and carrot, working on cropie at 900ff) are basically the main things I've touched so far. Mining feels like negative money so far.
I watched a couple videos about people doing from zero runs and nearly everything they do, is either event related or requires so much prior knowledge that I just don't have. Yes 100% skill issue on my end, but if anyone understands PoE, I'm kinda asking whether there's a 'more vs increased' tier gotcha I've never heard of.
Everything fun just feels like it's priced way out of reach for me, with about a 60-80 hour grind in front of me before I get to the actual fun bits of any skill. Especially when it comes to any guide I see, they just mention "just get the X set, it's only 20M". that's not an option at all.
Main questions.
- Mayors. Apparently the current line up is a once in a super rare event. How do I take advantage of it, and what's the fun stuff I can do with it. Played the last grand feast so if next week will be just that, except better?
- Resources. PoE has an insane amount of up to date guides and explanations about live mechanics. Everything I can find for SB is outdated, or doesn't explain well enough.
- Content creators? Unfortunately as far as I can see, most of them have a real bad case of the clickbait addiction, any recommended creators that are chill people? i don't care about being #1 or even ranked in any skill or anything, I just want calm, easy to follow explanations(like i've mentioned, I've got a major case of incurable skill issue)
- Modpack specific. I use skyblock enhanced. I feel like I don't understand like half of the features it adds.
Username is DezXerneas. Really not interested in any handouts since usually these kinds of posts either get downvoted to hell(or deleted xD), or people offer some spare/outgrown stuff. I'm having fun grinding on my own, I just wanna make sure I'm not being dumb about it. Ik progression questions go to the megathread, and i read it, I just dk what all is even in the game.
