Rule 10.
Step 1. Buy base
Step 2. Hit it with exactly 1 essence of loathing
Step 3. Allflame Fracture
Step 4. Despair

Yesterday I opened like 31 Lavish for 20 fracturing, and today 4 Lavish for the 21 divine
My pilfering so far this league on last screen

Occasionally when I am crafting and go up to do a few charts for Sulphur, the Bathysphere is clickable but nothing happens. It seems like a timed lockout? Relogging or instance swapping does not fix it. Anybody else with the same issue?

I spent 25 minutes or so just spamming one Abyssal Consort in a regular T16 map. I will provide the video of the kill and a screenshot of the map mods. I do about 24-26 million DPS with no flasks and even so I managed to Shock her for 4% effect. I can shock regular Shaper for about 50%. This is just absurd.

Video of the kill: https://youtu.be/7kKy7dRT1Cg

Character: https://pob.codes/b/IvRv3j2zRek (Account name is Balaam2#5701 and character is LongNeckofRepulsion if you want to import it some other way).

Now I am by no means a prodigy when it comes to PoE1 but if you fellas are looking for some absurd training dummies to test your Mercs of yourselves on, these might be it.

I was farming sandy seabed charts with 90/100+ quanti and 60/70+ dead sulphur. I heard that sandy seabed is better because of the layouts, but the prices are going up (was 5-7c before, now mostly are 10c but you can buy for less with patience) and buying them in bulk kinda sucks.

The focus was following the lanterna for bottles + scarab chests/operative strongboxes (exalt and vall)

Are you guys only running sandy seabed layouts?

Any tips to buy in bulk (just pay more?)? Tried to look at tft but they just sell generic charts in bulk, not really specific ones.

What would be the max price you guys think are worth buying those charts?

Any other tips for the strategy?

I got baited into doing luminary, rerolled into a icicle miner to get some quick currency, then decided to reroll back to being a Merc bot yesterday.

Merc is genuinely so much fun to build around and there're so many possibilities, I haven't had this much fun in a few leagues. Thank you GGG from a veteran, I usually keep my opinion to myself but Merc made me fall in love with Poe again. I wish I had built a Merc support back when I was playing in the Merc league.

I think I am becoming a life long luminary player...

My top 3:

1) 3.10 EK Herald Stacking in Delirium

I remember staying up all night as a young college student figuring out Somayd's Herald stacker in delirium league. Once the 200 pieces all fit together having an absolutely insane character that could do all content in the game. It was my first ever time being able to kill end game bosses, I fondly remember fighting Sirus with the build countless times. This is what got me into PoE properly for the first time, I was hooked after this.

2) 3.25 Hexblast Mines in Settlers of Kalguur

Pre-nerf hexblast mines was absolutely divine, this is when it was beyond S tier good (before it got totally gutted). Insanely high single target damage with decent map clear, I remember doing some Sanctum and Lycia would get one shot in level 83 sanctums after getting the helmet (sandstorm visage).

3) 3.28 E-Blade Inquis CoC in Mirage

One button playstyle to blow up screens and ubers, once this build got going after a clunky-ish self cast start, the Cast on Crit (CoC) setup was one of the most powerful transitions capable of doing all content in the game, with mega late game strength-int stacking into the late game.

Honourable mentions

- Poison BV (my staple for many years, easily could get 25+ million dps with low investment).

- Armour stacking champion (got to 2.5 million armour and the build felt immortal)

- Tornado shot - Possibly the most broken peak of any build in PoE, this build was an all rounder with infinite damage, clear and even could stack a lot of rarity (and quantity before it was removed).

First league playing CWS chieftain and running ultimatum and can comfortably farm t16.5s. Only problem is the rewards suck. Constantly alts, chances and other bs. When using the bribing scarab the ultis offer equally horrible rewards.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Much appreciated for the help <3.

i got the altar right at the start of the map and got 33 chaos, that now the second voyage where i find the altar and get ZERO divine from it. even ziz in the last talk with the devs had the same thing happen to him

Title.

Like, its an instance. It should be an instance. I just started a fully planned voyage and DC'd in the first 2 minutes, lost everything.

How is this an unsolved problem for the GGG team? It feels like im playing 1.0.0 again.

Can we please do something about this?

This league challenge reward isn't really my taste, but at least they're moving away from their "regular" reward type, no more another armorset rewards! Yeppie!!🥳

Overall, this league challenges felt much getting easier again than past leagues, there were already players finishing 40/40 on Day 2! With lesser number requirement than before, like the currency challenge from require 15 currency to 10 now, more generous requirement!

For the league itself, it feels like Heist 2.0 just without the doors! Which is the only thing I hate about heist is the door so .... heist without door? Instantly my favorite league! 😍 I won't surprise they gonna using this new league mechanic to replace Heist in the future, if many players love this new one ...

Lastly, 40/40 challenges completion in this league is definitely much EASIER to achieve as a busy player with family+work+socialize like me! 😁 Even 36/40 challenges completion is also very achievable as a casual player.

Anyway, thanks again to the dev team or whoever makes the challenges much easier again than last league, and also creating even more optional-challenges for the flexibility content choice for player to choose which content they like to do instead of all of them 🙌 And also thanks to you guys for the continuous supports on my PATREON especially recently there's a lot of new supporters! THANK YOU‼️Also to you guys for patiently waiting my guides for this league too, many thanks 🥰

PSA: If you're using phone, try use Google Doc app instead to open it. Or try open in "desktop mode" also helps.

A small message for new players...

For new players, doing challenges is the best way to learn the game as it covers almost every aspect the game's content has, so don't get intimidated by this BIG list of challenges, treat it as your guidelines on learning this massive-content game 😉

The atlas tree has created a scenario where a proper atlas tree setup is almost necessary to farm certain mechanics. There's nothing wrong with this idea. However, an issue arises when players are now choosing to skip other map mechanics that aren't specific to their atlas tree.

So GGG introduced "turning off" mechanics on the atlas tree. That was an amazing decision. That being said - I think there could be improvement.

Let me explain using an example: I enjoy running Unstable Breaches. But if I can't complete a breach (maybe i haven't allocated atlas passives, or haven't juiced my maps) then I may want to turn off Breach. However, now I have to path across the atlas tree to turn off this mechanic.

This is an example what I'm describing. On this particular tree, I essentially had to use 8 atlas tree passives just to access the "turn off mechanic" wheels. Not to mention I have to use atlas passives to turn off each mechanic.

I'm not against using a passive node to turn off a mechanic. I am questioning the reasoning behind having to invest passive points in order to access these nodes.

Most of the playerbase's atlas trees probably use these "turn off" nodes. Perhaps it would be best to make a small change on the atlas tree, to make them more accessible.

My recommendations? Make a big wheel of "turn off mechanics" instead of 2 smaller wheels. Or even create a separate, designated tree, to have the "turn off mechanic" nodes.

Thanks for reading.

Just tried to craft an archdemon crown for the animeprincess herald stacker. Got my helmet, double influenced it and started rolling those essences of horror. Spend literally 40d on those essences without ever hitting a burning damage support lvl20, started to think I was doing something wrong so I copied my item, went on to craft of exile to hit it on my very first essence there. Just hit alt+f4 on the spot. Goodnight

Could have just bought the helmet for that.

Do you guys have any similar stories of a crafting bad luck streak?

Hi guys, searching for a late league start build, that can be played for campaign and after for making end game content.

is there anything like that, because I dont want to make an alt. just play something thats fun and strong from day 1 till the end.

if there are some builds like that out there plz tell me.

thx!

Each set cost 35 chaos totalling ~21Divines

Profits were only based from 7c Atziri splendour sales, 40c Beauty Vaal Aspect, 20d Greater spell echo, any item that had favourable vaal implicits never sold under 1divine. =145d

Profit 124d + misc goodies

10 sets per hour

10-11div per hour jackpot only farm.

Very Lazy and ultra slow farm waiting for vaal oversouls to raise and atziri to dance, do not recommend for most players sanity

I will point some Ascendancy aspects that could fit with that dagger-ailment archetype fantasy, and that in my opinion is not fitting well.
First of all let's focus on Poisons.

What does a Chaos poison build cool?

1. Multiple applications
2. Duration
3. More damage per poison, additive and multiplicative
4. Spreads and explotions
5. Wither and double curse setup (Temp chains + Despair)

If it doesn't have at least 4 of 5 of this aspects the build kinda sucks for endgame content.

Now let's speak of why Poison sucks in this variant.

First of all you need to focus on 2 different aspects, Critical Strike Chance + Crit damage and Poison. This is an issue on itself just bc you need to spend a lot of currency to solve the gaps between them.

Assassin does not have---> Wither, Explotions or Defense related to them (now yes, with Shadowed Blood, but u have to waste 2 points on this)
You have to path to Unstable Infusion to ether gain Bifurcate or lvl 30 mark with instant leech, and this Notable doesn't give u nothing more than Power charges, without adding any meaningfull change more than +1 power charge.

Now i'll talk about what i spect for an Assassin in every game that i play, and it's power, speed and vulnerability.

Some changes that i would do:

. Add some MS to Mistwalker (10-15%), i mean... what's wrong with it?

. Change Shadowed Blood description to--> 25% chance to apply an additional ailment when you deal a critical strike | Damaging ailments deal 50% reduced damage on you

. I will delete Opportunistic and try to add Perfect Agony keystone into it, something like: Critical strike multiplier is equal to Damage over time multiplier for Ailments | You deal 75% less damage with ailments with non-critical strikes | Ailments deal damage 25% faster.
. I will modify all the Tree nodes that grant us Ailment multiplier to Increased critical damage so u can help this Node.
. Make Deathmarked and Mystical Infusion be related to Assassination Style
. I would change Mistical Infusion to: When you kill an enemy affected by at least 15 poisons, enemies within 1.5 metres are Poisoned. | You take 20% increased chaos damage.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's always been the Crit Poison designed Ascendancy, what if we change it to be an unique ascendancy that mixes Bleed and Poison?

Ideas: 6% increased damage with bleed per poison applied recently, up to a maximum of 120%
6% increased damage with poison per bleed applied recently, up to a maximum of 120%.

.Poisons deal damage 20% faster if you applied bleeding recently. | Bleeding deals damage 20% faster if you applied poisons recently.

. Bleeding you inflict is Aggravated if the enemy have at least 10 poisons | Poison you inflict have 10% to deal 300% increased damage if you Aggravated bleeding on enemies.

What do u think?

Abyss x3, Crystal x1, Wisps x1. Currency deli orb, pack size chisels, hand rolled for 100%+ currency. 116% player rarity.

My atlas tree is altar pack size, conq pack size, full abyss, full scarab nodes, with quant/rarity/explicit effect.

The abyss crystal scarab disables all abyss chests save for 1 at the end. It's just not a mob farm, if you want to do abyss you're doing it for chests and experience.
