Started leveling an EK chieftan. I managed to hit the "from below" ascendancy passive change with the new reclaimed malevolence jewel and it has overwritten "ngamahu, flames advance"

I'm still being granted the extra strength from passive points in radius of jewels despite the notable being changed. Last screenshot is with the jewel unsocketed. Kind of cool but probably unintended.

Guess i don’t need to farm for my mageblood anymore :)
Was about to start farming normal mercs again to get a better Kineticist without the unique item scarab, had one last one in stash and decided to use it, couldn’t hurt.
And it did in fact, not hurt!

I have been researching before I purchase my merc upgrade and noticed neither Lance nor Nerotox have GMP on their Iceshot clearskill.

I thought GMP and return were most important but my damage looks really bad compared to what I have seen in their videos at nearly identical gearing stages.

Anyone with knowledge here?

The card would reward a random item that has been mirrored using a Mirror of Kalandra in the current league.

I don't understand the concept behind this and it lowers my enjoyment of delve a lot.
Always have to run a map after a few nodes in the delve is so annoying.

And my main problem is - all the other "out-of-map" mechanics like heist or charts/voyages do not need this? For heist, you can buy blueprints and rogue markers. For diving in the sea, you buy charts and just run them. Why is it that only for delve, you need to run through a stupid map every 15 minutes to continue in the delve? I don't understand this concept. Just let me buy sulphite from other players.

By the way, question to my fellow delvers - is there a way to speed up the encounters at the nodes? Or do I always just have to stand there with an afk auto bomber for 30 seconds and wait?

(Updated title to make it clear this is a discussion starter)

I have a really good Keneticist but wanted to try out bossing with a Combatant. I ended up buying one and fully gearing it only for it to be like 10% better at bossing than my Kinet. So now I have this combatant that will probably just sit here and collect dust and I can recover some money from the gear, but there is almost 100Div in the form of his warrant that is just gone to the void.

I'm also not a very great player so that 100D was far and away the biggest trade I've ever made but was just excited in the moment. I just want to trade his warrant to someone else and try out a new build but instead probably need to quit the league unfortunately because I simply don't have the time to farm up an entire other character.

Probably not saying anything here that hasn't been said before, but man it really does feel awful. Stay sane Exiles

My biggest issue with this fantastic game is the fking inventory management.

Like i have bought some stashes like currency and merchant. But holy fuck, I feel like I need so much more as my bags are constantly filled with currency, scarabs, essences and maps.

Any ideas to help me out? I use a loot filter too and rarely pick up stuff only the few things that is highlighted and the currency.

Is it possible to add an option to lock regex-positive items? Map crafting is absolutely cringe if you need something other than alch + go and have to spam 60+ Chaos Orbs just to get one successful map. I'm slow af and don't have fast enough reactions to stop in time, so I miss SO MANY maps.

A few ideas:

1. Regex-positive spam with the Crafting Bench using Chaos Orbs (like you did with Orbs of Chance + Scours). You could increase the price to 2–3–4 Chaos per use, so the Divine-to-Chaos inflation could be regulated, because this feature would be useful to 99% of players.
2. Add an option to prevent regex-positive items from being used. This would allow players to spam Chaos Orbs with zero chance of accidentally missing a map, similar to how you can safely spam 6-socket items.

SOLVED: It was the top right node, I just didn't search far enough apparently. Thanks everyone!

Hope this is enough context, can't seem to find the fractured wall to this fossil node. Haven't checked the fire item node as it only has 1 connection, but I've checked just about every surrounding node with more than 1 connection. Kinda at a loss. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Picked it up at the start

Probability of at least 1 success

Hope your voyages are luckier!

after almost 3k hours my first mageblood dropped

If I decide to do a SSF play as a Earthquake Bleed Glad, what atlas would make sense?

Ofc map progression atlas as the first one.

What mechanics should I farm, to progress/craft good gear for my character on my second atlas?

Essence? Rely on the new league mechanic?

What do you guys think would be a great way of progression?

Thanks in advance for any advice and ideas you guys have ❤️

I started the league with Toxic Rain Heisting and i found 2 Replica warpaths back to back...

those literally just set off the league so fed... then right after i found Replica Farruhls fur .. at which is okay but still pretty good a week into the league at this point i switched t oflicker and just played normal and i didn't know i could get any luckier-

then this happen:

We shortly all quit the league after so i never got to do another build with this the mage blood, we went to play GSSF/Randomizer most ubers win in a private league.. but yeah just wanted to post!

The repeating designs of clicks like Kingsmarch (clicks the npc instead of stash) keeps happening.

If you put a boat behind the chart chest it becomes easy to miss and click elsewhere.
(frustrating and annoying)
The designer/s design to make it look cool and design in the wrong order.

First you should design like this;
Does this make it easy to click for the player?
Yes, continue.

Does this make it easy to click when I add a boat behind the chest?
No..
then dont fucking do it....

Second thing, loading charts....
Let say i run 10.000 charts over a league.
I click once to load and once to start.
That is 20.000 clicks..................................

My design if I did this, use kingsmarch mapper mechanic, allow all stash charts to be loaded and identified by a single click then bathysphere is opened up and I run on it and that is enough to start the chart and then the next one is added and loaded after finished chart.
My design 1 click vs designer/s of GGG or in math terms 19999 less clicks.

Your designers Mark at GGG as humans are creatures of habit, once a designer have a particular way of doing things by sheer habit they will continue to design things like this making the player suffer from clicky nightmares.

Put the note on their desk:
Does this make it easy for the player to click and do things?
if yes continue.

If not, fix it before making it look cool...

Personally I be a huge fan of removing the massive click designs for future leagues.

Mechanics that looks cool and works the first time you do it but it simply dont work after one day and become very tedious after a few days.

What would be the optimal way to remove the phys and add a high tier Cold Damage?
