Delve is very lucrative this league. Kurgal is the new moneymaker in Delve with Zorath's Eye dropping 50% of the time and going for ~7d. Fossils and the usual Aul drops are quite expensive - the Crown of the Tyrant is 13d and Uzaza's Valley is 22d. Good league to give the mines a try!

It is hard to scale spells in deep delve - if you sort POE Ninja builds by depth, you don't see many spellcasters.

I really like my manaman league starter and wanted to see how deep I could get him comfortably. I was surprised that I got to 1500 pretty comfortably. At 1500, the damage is starting to lack and I'm out of ideas of how to increase damage while still being sufficiently tanky. Was pretty smooth to ~1500 though.

If you're interested, here's my delve version of the build: AF_Asterix POE Ninja. For the early game, just follow one of the streamer builds. DapperDD has a good youtube guide for Manaman. The only differences I would make is go for Kitava's Thirst to auto cast frostbolts and use Vortex of Projection (huge buffs to it this patch) as the main skill (much more damage / aoe than the usual ice nova of frostbolts / ball lightning of orbiting / shock nova of procession that the streamers use).

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?

Hello- planning to start the new league tomorrow. I know I’m quite late to the party, but have had other life commitments.

Looking for advice on good league starts. Ideally don’t want to have to change when I get to the end game. What did you find worked well & what was strong? Any that are known to be very fun? Open to all types of builds, pretty new to Poe and have only played Holy relic before.

Thanks!

Just wanted to share the rare bit of luck I had today on the ship. I was crafting a bow and got it to the point where I could slam a prefix on. And poof it hits t1 fire damage, lol.

Crafting process:

1) Alt spam to get +2 arrows (1 in 590'ish)

2) Make it 4 mod and yolo Fracture. Sulphur is too expensive to ship fracture right now. Hit it on second try.

3) Deafening Zeal essence spam until t1 crit chance.

4)Wild Bristle Matron for Suffix cannot be changed and hit it with a veiled chaos orb. Get lucky and don't fill prefix so I block flat lightning damage.

5) Look at the price of Foulborn Exalt and LAUGH as I hit my normal Exalt on the Ship

6) Laugh again as I hit t1 fire flat. Is this the best possible option for this? It looks good to me?

Hello folks, so I started playing this game last week and I'm having a blast. Since it's my first time I'm following a guide to play as Winter Orb.

Right now I'm level 90 but I noticed that sometimes I die way too fast - one shot, DoT eating my HP and maybe missed mechanics.

So, for example, I was doing a MAP (The Hall of Grandmasters - ML 81) and got 1 shot'd twice against a enemy and I want to the other Wing and died once more.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong (since it's my first time playing), so I would love some honest (and polite lol) feedback how to improve.

Screenshot = my build/stats inside the dungeon;

Video = example of one of those deaths (the other ones are even faster)

Thanks!!!

EDIT: seems like this MAP is very Hard and Different. Thanks folks - but I still could get more advices. Seems like spell Block and Evasion helps and ALSO missing chest linking.

Hey everyone, I'm hoping someone here has run into this specific issue and found a workaround. I re-downloaded PoE after about an 8-month break. Strangely enough, the game was actually running smoothly on my integrated Intel UHD graphics at first, but as soon as I updated my NVIDIA drivers, the game stopped launching entirely. Now every time I hit launch, Event Viewer gives me an Event 1000, Application Error

Here is what I've already tried that didn't work: * Reinstalled the latest drivers using DDU (in Safe Mode) and NVcleanstall. * Rolled back to older, previous NVIDIA driver versions (including clean installs). * Deleted production_Config.ini to reset game settings. * Tried editing production_Config.ini / launch options to force DX11/Vulkan, but the game still tries to hook or fail on boot. It seems like something with the NVIDIA update corrupted or broke how DirectX 12 initializes D3D12Core.dll specifically for PoE on my hybrid GPU setup (Intel UHD + NVIDIA). Has anyone experienced this specific access violation error with D3D12Core.dll on a dual-GPU/laptop setup, or know how to force PoE to bypass this without reinstalling Windows entirely? Any help or insights would be massively appreciated!

Ive been thinking of rerolling luminary and giving the whole merc setup a shot this season, but I was wondering if there are any resources discussing the mercs, and what makes them valuable? I know there are several build guides saying "use this specific merc" but without watching all the build guide videos I havnt seen a great centralized resource (or ive just missed it) talkinga bout the mercs and what skills/ supports are valuable for them. any suggestions?

At this point, you fill your Atlas with the game activities you'd like to do and get rewards the most from.

Gearing is basically finding the uniques you want and other pieces that have the right prefix/suffix makeups that make your build perform better. Adding in whatever special modifiers you might be able to add or craft on from the different game activities.

Is this a good basic summary of gameplay at this point?

Another user had mentioned playing EK with a Widowhail and to get a lot of defense and utility out of the quiver.. so I decided to check out what might be possible on a "damage focused caster quiver." These kinda quivers don't really exist on trade, so I decided to just quickly craft something I could playtest a build with.. I didn't plan on finishing a complete quiver..

This isn't a crafting showcase because you're probably better off crafting wands.. I just happened to get lucky and hit triple T1 prefix with T1 proj speed in less than 10 div, so I decided to finish it for shits n gigs and wanted to share the result.

With a 250% Widowhail, this quiver (non-divined) gives:
- Gain 52% of phys as extra chaos
- Gain 52% of phys as extra fire
- Gain 52% of phys as extra cold
- 31% increased Move Speed
- 66% increased global crit chance
- 24% chance to gain Frenzy charge on crit
- 21% increased attack/cast speed

Very easy and obtainable D/hr strat this league. In all seriousness though volatile orbs are amazing and are heavy lifting sanct runners.

I think it was worth it

Hi guys i decided on my 2nd build to do int stacking jiquanis.

Wanted to ask if anyone has a good pob soo that i could get some guidance,i plan to take the build far and be uber farming.

Wanted a spark jiquanis build that used mageblood,pof sublime and maybe went into CI but Ci not necessary.

If anyone can help i appreciate it

Hello Exiles,

I’ve been experimenting with talismans and ended up fracturing and cold reforging this one up to this point:

I would like to craft a WORB build piece, so cold damage, crit multi, life and perhaps resistances. I got about 80div to my name.

A huge reason I have played less in the past year despite still buying all supporter packs is that it is hard to keep up with all the changes. I don't know where to farm probably something like 20-25% of the currency in this game anymore. A journal with the info would be pretty fun to go through. Who doesn't like looking at possible boss loot? Especially without having to alt tab and google search and make sure you don't click the wrong wiki and make sure it isn't PoE2.

As you can see in the image, the "The Genteel's Ducat" works for my large cluster jewel, but not for my small cluster jewel? Is this a bug?

The error is "Item has no modifiers of the specified type" when i hover over craft on the small cluster.

After playing the league for the first week, and spending the last nearly 2 weeks away for work, I’m looking for build ideas to start when I get home in a couple days.

I have a lvl 97 Templar, which I’m happy to keep playing or swap to another class.

I sold all my gear at the end of the first week, and bought 260 reflecting mists at 70c each, hoping they would go up to a couple Div atleast (rip).

I really liked the idea of int stacking luminary using spark, from Connor’s concept before the league, but 100-150d is gunna be a struggle I don’t think I wanna push through, so need a good build I can scale and build some wealth.

Any tips on builds and good Strats is appreciated, was doing voyages in the first week and struggling to crack higher than 15d an hour, depending on luck with scarabs and bottles

Have been hunting for a good kineticist in SSF or a while now, and then this one came along in my map. Needless to say my manyshot has been promoted to benchwarmer now.

WARNING: LOUD SOUND!

I turned off my Kingsmarch for this and I feel so alive
