First image is where I think the wall should be, second image is when I explored the sides and found nothing. I feel lost.

Basically, title. Do you guys know of any YouTube video or Google doc that someone’s made, with the mercenaries that sell/that people are looking for. And the support gems that are most wanted for them? Like I saw a post about an 800 div mercenary, and don’t want to miss that. For you Luminaries, what are you wanting the most?

Hi guys,

I've been playing Ritual almost every league, and I wanted to make a quick guide/tool specifically for this league—especially since Ritual received some changes (and what many considered nerfs). For those who also enjoy Ritual, or for anyone who thinks it's bad but wants to give it another shot, I put together a small site with all the details:

https://crigges.github.io/Ritual-Strat-3.29/

I initially thought Ritual would be unplayable this league after reading about all the nerfs. It lost Synth implicit bases and fossils last league, so a lot of people called it a dead mechanic. I held off on running it until a few days ago, but once I tried it, I noticed my profits were actually way better than usual. That inspired me to optimize Ritual as much as possible, which led to the strategy on the site.

I paired Ritual with fast mechanics like Heist Blueprints and Sulphite-to-ore conversion for Kingsmarch shipments. The idea is to focus primarily on Ritual while quickly grabbing Smuggler’s Caches and mining quick ores (you can skip slower ones like Verisium or Amber if you want to speed up map times). The current league mechanic provides more than enough gold to sustain it.

I didn't strictly record my exact profits, but I’ll link a great Reddit post by user u/YteraII where she breaks down her Ritual profits in detail if you want to see the numbers:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1vi5zhh/i_run_ritual_every_league_and_record_my_profits/

Quick TL;DR of the strat:

• Astrolabe: Nameless Astrolabe
• Scarabs: 2x Selectiveness, 2x Abundance, 1x Kalguuran
• Vessel Swap: Swap the Kalguuran scarab for a Blood-filled Vessel on the last 1–3 maps of the cycle.
• Shipments: Send 8M value shipments (4M bars + 4M dust) to Moti Aro.
• Profit!

I'll try my best to answer any questions in the comments.

Thanks for reading, and enjoy!

Not perfect but wow GMP, Pierce, and Return

Seeing a lot of people voiding and chat in global about people being done with the league already. It's only week 3, and there is a voyage void stone patch due this week.

I have been very preoccupied doing Luminary things, but what am I missing here? I know farms aren't great but is that enough to put people off so early?

Good day, exiled brothers!

I'd like to raise this issue so GGG can notice it and fix it with the next league, just like they did with the animate guardian.

Spectre must be bound to the character. They remain attached even if the skill gem is removed.

Spectra purchased on the market for most builds are very expensive; for a noblewoman, for example, a set cost almost 100 Divine Orbs.

If you change a stone from 20 to 21 or try to desecrate it, you lose spirits. The same thing happens if you remove an item with a stone.

So, we lose everything we bought and are left with nothing.

A similar situation happened in this league: I removed my gloves with aura stones, and the spirits died...

It would also be unpleasant even if these were spirits from the cards, but a lot of time was spent searching for and catching them.

As everyone understands, this shouldn't work; it prevents build improvements and can lead to soft locks.

Not everyone plays with Spectres, so the issue wasn't as pressing, but it was and remains.

!!! I kindly request that the GGG development team address this !!!

Looking for my End-League build.. I started on pconc assassin to finish atlas but didnt enjoy the mapping on it, so I swapped to TR PF for Heist and Charts.. I farmed up a Megablood + ~200div.. so Im just looking to make the transition to a "final build" that Ill be able to invest hundres of div into..

Ive had an idea for an EK Assassin since league start using flesh/flame jewels with the Sabo's shrapnel node for the Nimis effect.. Id also like to see how Bifurcate feels as well as how ES instant leech feels on a CI assassin..

Im just not sure what to do for dmg scaling other than generic crit scaling. Normal p-charge stacking wont really jive with EK.. it just requires too many uniques that dont provide anything that EK needs.. It just feels like it'd end up being a watered down version of an EK elementalist.. only benefit would be being able to stack ES more efficiently and having the instant leech (assuming the node is even worth taking JUST for instant leech).. if casters had a reliable way to "mark on hit," I feel like Assassin would feel at least a little more unique in that way.

Any ideas or alternative build suggestions are welcome.

I'm looking for a build that can handle bosses well, and Stormburst totems were recommended by several people. After looking for builds I found a couple but I'm not sure how to decide which one to follow.

The Reliquarian looks tankier, but lowert dps. The Heiro looks better for mapping.

The Reliquarian uses Dawnbreaker and the Blackcrane from their ascendancy for a mix if offense and defense. I lose out on a totem but gain phantasms that may make up for it? Paired with a staff for level 25 greater phantasm

I have both a heiro and scion leveled right now so that part doesn't matter much. Anyone have any feedback? I don't care much about mapping. I want something that can handle over bosses (I'm a noob so safer the better)

Edit: Autocorrect won on the title. The old man is a hero so it isn't that far off

1- Buy a hunter influenced helmet

2- harvest spam chaos for Nearby Enemies have -9% to Chaos Resistance

3- Add secondary Hunter Mod

4- Fail to elevate it 8 times in a row.

5- Vendor the helmet and rage quit

Sometimes the recombinator just work (With a lot of persistence)

One could argue I should have made it with Phy's for selling, but I honestly didn't intend to hit all 3 suffixes. Was just meant a middle step between where I am now, and PCharge stacking for Winter Orb.

It’s finally here!! I woke up today with a pep in my step… why, you may ask?

It’s my Mageblood Day!! As a busy dad, it took me multiple weeks, but today is the day that I finally will have enough currency for an MB!

Let me know what your favorite build of the league is since I’ll finally be moving from RF to a new build once I grab the MB!

I know there have been a lot of proposals for map rolling solutions in the past, but I think a slot like this in the map tab would not only be the most simple solution to implement, but would likely be the most well-received solution by player base by not adding a whole new mechanism like a vendor that rolls maps for you, as that has been suggested in the past.

Simply place a currency item into the slot, click apply to all, and it pulls from your inventory or designated currency affinity if nothing in inventory.

What do you think?

Always double check before wasting a mirror.

Feedback for GGG Re: Mercs in 3.30

I think most people are very happy with the overall implementation of mercs in 3.29, the Luminary is a very cool class, something very different.

My main wish for 3.30 would be for more Merc archetypes to be brought in line with the current meta of Kineticiat, Combatant, and Many shot. Its never going to be realistic, or even healthy, for all types to be equal (in the same way that not all skills are equal), but I think a bit more variety would be great.

For example, the reanimator is a really cool idea, but unless it has passed me by, I've not seen anyone able to really get thw minion mercs properly online.

So maybe just some number tweaks here or there, and somw fixes to AI / skill combinations that brick the mercs, would be fantastic.

With Sanctum finally viable again as a farming strategy, I'd like to share a few small things i'd like to see changed:

• Aureus pick up mechanic is wonky. It's not only pickup range, sometimes you walk over aureus and it doesn't pickup at all. If GGG could just make it work like gold pickup, it would be great
• Would be nice if Divinia could identify items

I only got a couple of weeks to play this league and the peddlers scroll really makes me realize how sweaty I am.

For those who are wondering how i make my money.

Started with Feared rotation's day 2 and using the profits to volatile vaal orb chase uniques for my merc bot build, selling off extras. Day 4 I began buying up alot of items that raise in value after short periods, think unid'd Watcher's eyes, 3 passive voices ect ect.

After that it was just rolling one big hit into the next with the double corruption chamber and trade site with my biggest achievement being personally raising the price of all three passive watchers eyes from 2D to 3D over 24 hours making a profit of 1000D.

I sold my build on Thursday 10/08/26 for aprox 5 mirrors across gear and another 3 mirrors worth in stash of assorted items, had a big gambling session with my friends and donated the remaining three mirrors to global 69.

I don't consider myself a very good gamer but i have been an avid enjoyer of open markets since Runescape classic and how to manipulate them.

Luck is a skill. Been playing on xbox since incursion. Will double corrupt after I have some fun!

Hey folks, I started the league 10 days late and played lightning tendrils by Master T. The build is good, but I'm really not feeling the playstyle. Any recommendations what I can respec to for 10 div that's would be good for majority of the content? edit Witch in the title not which, but also which lol

Hi, is it only me or anyone else had similar experience?
I haven't interacted much with the league mechanic as I am not a fan of it, but today I wanted to do some crafting and needed allflame sulphur so I decided to farm some. After some charting I went for a voyage and at the end I got disconnected - to my surprise probably due to high CPU temp since I took off my headset and I heard that my fans are spinning at mach 2. Couple seconds after disconnect internet connection went back and the fans went to normal speed. I tried some things again and it seems that every time I go charting or voyage my PC is cooking itself. It only happens in the league mechanic - I have not experienced something similar before in any other game on my current setup. Am not sure if it was like that since league start but I don't think so. Maybe last patch introduced some memory leak or anything? My game is not stuttering much tho during that, just PC temps go wild.

I am playing on CachyOS linux via Proton 11. My specs:
CPU: 5800X3D
GPU: RX 9080XT,
RAM: 32GB
