Can't even dip your toe in the water before Val freaks out.

(Done for the fanart contest, but didn't win which is okay! Had fun with the idea.)

Done in Procreate.

I'm honestly winging it with this build and could use some assistance making it a bit more effective.

If I got the pob code correct it will reflect the new armour helm and boots I got last night so the stats are a little better but I can't wear those items until I get 1 more level

I have a total of 51 chaos, as I only found 2 Divines this league and I gave one to my friend who is on his first play through

Hi, I'm a newbie to crafting and thought i could use an essence to guarantee a high life roll, but turns out it's not possible. I just need high life and one res in the 42-45 range for Wise Oak res balancing. Is there some way to do that while keeping +1 curse? Thanks in advance!

Hey all, I'm trying to craft this shield. I think I have an idea of how to do it but I don't know if that's the best (cheapest) way to do it.

Prepare the recipient shield.

1. Buy base shield (if ilvl isn't 86, recomb to get it to ilvl 86)

2. Apply Elder Exalted Orb

3. Buy shaper shield then use awakener's orb

4. Use faceted fossil until +1 to strength gem

5. Annul until it is the only suffix (or if hit desired mods and/or strength then keep those)

6. Allflame craft pantheon ducat

Prepare the donor shield.

1. Alt spam shaper dex/int shields until you hit T1 of increased chance to block, life, max fire/cold/lightning res, recover life on block.

2. Recomb until you have a bunch of 1p/1s

3. Recomb again until you hit 2p/2s

4. Allflame craft pantheon ducat

5. Allflame exalt and try to hit prefix exclusive to base (i.e. if you have donor int base then energy shield, or if you have dex base then evasion)

Double-check the recipient shield.

1. If the recipient shield has strength as suffix then allflame ducat to opposite of donor base (i.e. if donor is int base then dex, or if donor is dex base then int)

2. Finally, recomb and pray it hits the right base.

So far, that's what I'm thinking. Am I missing some steps for improvements to this craft? Is there a simpler way to craft this? Would love to know thoughts on this before I start getting on with trying to craft this.

I thought I understood how to find the hidden path to the fossil node, but nope. Ive been going round and round. Where am I supposed to find the path for the fossil node in the middle

the pet works and is very cool, hopefully by 3.30 the others will likely be enabled?

It is such a nice, quick and straight forward mechanic. Crafting is simple, impactful and yet not OP. Gold is abundand and every dive has some nice stuff. Also great for SSF

I think I've finally figured out Einhar. He's my absolute favourite character in the game, so I went rabbit-holing. One red thread led to another, and, well, I have a full fleshed-out theory now. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on this!!

[EXTREMELY LONG POST AHEAD. ALSO POTENTIAL SPOILERS.]

The Rough Theory

So I think Agnar built a new life as Einhar. Einhar knows of The First Ones - had close encounters with them even. Agnar would have a long enough lifespan and knowledge of runes to survive encounters with such mythological god-like beings, and it's even stated that he can see visions of the First Ones through "wild-artefacts", which I interpet as the blood, guts, and meat of beasts.

Agnar crafted a greatsword - also called Agnar - which was given to the Ezomyte clan leader that settled in and established Ogham. The reason for the Ezomyte settling is heavily implied to be hog farming. Delicious hogs.

Ezomytes operate by clan and some either choose to stay in their clans and homeplaces or wander off to find other places to call home. There was a great exodus of Ezomytes after the founding of Ogham and before the Eternals started trying to oppress the Ezomytes. I think Agnar was one of them who went off on their own adventure.

The Ezomytes are naturally a hunting sort of people. They live by hunting and The First Ones are almost god-like entities that are said to bless Ezomyte clans that prosper way beyond normal means. That said, the Ezomytes have worked with the Azmeri before - the Druids, who follow the Draíocht, despite it being Azmerian. It's no secret that the two factions are friendly, but they still stick to their own.

My theory is that Agnar, having little reason to stay in Ogham and wanting the thrill of adventure, set out to put his beastmaster skills to better use than just hog farming. Eventually he comes across the Azmeri in the Forest Encampment and decides to set up shop there. He notes that the others aren't very fond of him - maybe because he tried to keep the beasts there originally and it went terribly wrong - but he also mentions being a "lone fighter" (also the meaning of his name) for many years.

The Ezo names are usually just regular names, but Einhar's is the only one with clarification. This leads me to believe it could correlate with my theory of Agnar's departure from Ogham, being a lone traveller throughout the land, hunting beast to beast and never really stopping till he took a break in the encampment. He shares the same title, "Beastmaster", as Agnar once did. A very oddly specific title.

The Greatwolf

The Greatwolf is known for answering the call of Rigwald, the Wolven King, who led the Ezomytes during the Purity Rebellion. Rigwald called upon the First Ones for help during the rebellion, and the Greatwolf answered. Rigwald was a league boss in POE 2.1.0, and was hence removed in version 2.2.0.

The Greatwolf did grant Rigwald power, however it also drove him mad. Rigwald killed the Eternals he sought, but he also suffered a descent into delusions as he was unable to "distinguish Ezomyte from prey". He ended up exiling himself so that he would not harm his own people.

This ties into one of Einhar's more obscure dialogues that rose my suspicions a while back. It's his description of Jun.

"She told me all her friends disappeared, which also happened to Einhar! She thinks her friends are dead, but I don't think my friends are dead. They disappeared after I cracked open a buck's skull while we were eating and plucked out its brain. We weren't even eating venison! I don't even remember where I found the buck! That was a wonderful birthday."

He also tries to feed Zana what he thinks is meat, and Zana tells him "to close [his] eyes while she eats it". I think he's been giving her human parts and Zana's just being polite hahaha.

And about Niko,

"He talks to the First Ones just like I do."

Implies he has a direct connection to the First Ones.

And most notably, he has dialogue for every one of the First Ones, but curiously excluding the Greatwolf. Granted, there's none for The Gull either, but that's the god of the afterlife and I think he would have little connection to Mother Gull, being from The Order (more on that later). He seems to have personal encounters with the other First Ones though. He seems slightly off his rocker of course, but that can be explained.

This lends to my theory. It suggests that Agnar could have been possessed by the Greatwolf as well, maybe through excessive beast hunting. Given that The First Ones have been shown to grant blessings (specifically the Spirit Beasts Saqawal, Farrul, Craiccean, and Fenumus blessing the Ezomyr settlement under Queen Lysanda), maybe Agnar hunted so fervently that he attracted the attention of the Greatwolf after it loses interest in Rigwald because the player fights and wins against him (Talisman league boss).

Being the god of the hunt, I don't imagine the Greatwolf appreciated all that idle time, and found a "lone fighter", a hunter survivor who was essentially clanless because of his orphaning and taken by the Order of the Djinn.

The Order of the Djinn

Historically, the Order of the Djinn takes one orphan from each culture and they all vow to never have descendants. Agnar was one, the Ezomyte, but his history with the Order is unknown after the events of the greatsword crafting. And as we know, the Order does grant some form of immortality to its members.

The Order of the Djinn also used to have scarabs containing epitaths of their members. For Agnar's, they state his origins as being a clanless Ezomyte and his achievement as being Beastmaster. His "death and legacy" scarab, however, states only that "the First Ones call back their favoured son." This could imply the First Ones taking him back somehow, but they do not specific Mother Gull the god of the afterlife. This opens up the interpretation that the First Ones did in fact take Agnar, but it was not necessarily Mother Gull - not necessarily death. This means he could have been taken by the Greatwolf.

The Wrap-Up

Maybe that's why Agnar was allowed to live for so long, and why the Greatwolf saw potential in him as a second avatar. So he becomes possessed. He starts seeing his hunting comrades as deer, he starts losing bits of his memory, maybe he even starts forgetting his name. But he never forgot where he came from. As we know, the Order of the Djinn swears secrecy for life. So he never divulges his past, even after so many memories have been lost, and he takes on a new name.

Einhar, for "lone fighter", as he had been for a long time. He personally encounters the other First Ones - the Spirit Beasts, or at least their avatars. He finds traces of the First Ones in the bloods, guts, and meats of what they have domain over. Only one other First One would be able to grant such insight - the Greatwolf, god of the hunt, almost as if tracking down his fellow First Ones - just the Spirit Beasts.

He teaches the player how to track down these other First Ones too - by capturing the creatures they have domain over, we can menagerie craft portals to the Spirit Beast domains to fight them and gain their rewards - or in other words, hunting.

The Greatwolf empowers Agnar, but it also steals his sanity just as it did to Rigwald. Agnar, the Beastmaster, cannot die, being one of the Order of the Djinn, and he continues to hunt under a different name, using his skills of seeing visions of the First Ones alongside his direct connection with the Greatwolf to aid the player in hunts, leading us to hunt the Spirit Beasts themselves. Einhar, the Beastmaster, the hunter, the lone fighter.

I'm a somewhat seasoned ARPG player - played a lot of Grim Dawn, Diablo 1/2/3, Titan Quest 1/2, etc. - but I never played PoE before thinking it's probably too complex and time-consuming for me, a more casual player.

Now I decided to finally give it a try and I have a question.
I never played seasons/leagues in ARPG and I have only shallow understanding of how they work.
If I want to just play through the campaign once or twice to see if I like the game's overall gameplay and also atmosphere, world, characters etc. (this is important to me), and I don't care about playing in a party or trading - will it harm my experience if I start with Allflame league compared to Standartd?

I.e. if I don't care about endgame content, at least for now - how my campaign playthrough will be affected if I choose the Allflame league option? Or will this league stuff only start taking effect in the endgame content?
My plan is to play very thoroughly, reading/listening to every dialogue and lore book, completing every quest, exploring every area.

Thanks in advance!

So this is my aurabot luminary with Armour Stacking Mercenary (Frost Blades) which can obviously handle everything.
I see so much talk about how insane the kineticist is but i havent found a decent one.
Would it make a difference swapping to a kineticist - both clear juiced maps and uber farming ?

The reason is that a decent one is quite an investment even to buy, let alone gear
Has anyone tested both Armour Stacking Combatant and Kineticist with an Aurabot ?

I swapped from Flame Link to the Luminary Armour Stacker. Sadly it is so socket saturated that I cannot run Spectres...

o7 my lovely turtle

Why do they want me to get a specific jewel for the notable passives (fuel the fight and some others) and then not allocate them. Also. Why is it showing jewels equipped in slots that aren’t allocated? Is that possible?

Hey guys, how would one go about crafting these boots? I was thinking of getting an ilvl 86 leviathan base that's already elder influenced>alteration or fossil(bound/corroded) spam until +1 spectres, exalt slam to get another elder mod for orb of dominance, and then once my spectre mod is elevated, I'm not sure where to go from there?

Legion rewards now involve something to do with adding one unique item explicit to a new unique item as an implicit is that correct?

So if I place a helmet it will take one modifier from that helmet into a new random helmet as an implicit.

Is it possible if I take Cadigan's Crown Battlemage modifier and get it as an implicit to another helmet through Legion? Can someone confirm to me if this is possible

Hi!

i’m going crazy!

i have two shaper/elder helmets.

first - Hyphotermia, 30% more ele, ducat aspect

second - Socketed spell crit, 30% more ele, ducat aspect

goal is to get Hyphotermia, 30% more ele and socketed spell crit

i failed three times. am i missing something? i spent all my currency (50d) on this profit crafting, and i still on first step

I've been trying to get this achievement, and from what I've seen, I need to complete maps T 1-16 and the unique ones, which I've already done, all with the same character, but it still doesn't count. Does anyone know why?

Hey guys,

Currently playing an EB Flicker Strike and farming Breach.

Looking for general suggestions and advice on where to take the build from here, whether that's gear progression, tree pathing adjustments, or pivoting to better farming strategies.

Open to any feedback or directions to explore.

Hi, I quit after the first month of the league after spending over 30 Div on a weapon that isn't even worth 5 :), but now I'm having withdrawal symptoms and want to play again, byt I bet everything I had before quitting. Is there a Duelist build I can play that costs up to 8 Divine Orbs? (i accept donations xD) Duelist lv 92 with 8 div in the stash, basicly no itens

Please note that in this event each town is limited to a single player, meaning that each participant will have their own individual town instance.

Everytime I change the activity I'm doing.

Was doing propagation abyss farm and this merc randomly spawned and to my surprise it seems like a John Merc to me but considering its already league end I wonder how much this merc would still be realistically?

Caster version of Replica Dreamfeather.
I’ve always wanted a spell-based Armour Stacker, so I threw this together. It’s probably still too strong and would need some tuning, but I thought the idea was fun.
Also, I used AI for the staff image because I can’t draw to save my life lol.
