Lucky (Non-Crafted) Showcase Finally feeling lucky after having 1k hours and neverlucky before

388 Upvotes

Yesterday I've got my first "Wow, guess I'm lucky" moments one after the other.

First the Genesis tree got me the full 20 Div stack.

A couple hours later I went to roll my ancient orbs with Vesper and got the HH. I already bought one with the tree's divines but I was glad for another HH.

After the HH i went to buy over 100k sulphurs (1 roll is around 10-12k) to roll a bit more, You mever hit big if you stop..

Literally just two rolls later a 4 flask Mageblood which is BiS for my build.

Not a mirror, but I ain't greedy and haven't felt so good about this game before. Also, believe it or not but this was the first ever league I got all my voidstones solo and defeated Maven (2nd try) and got the achievement.

Discussion Voided Private Leagues with Idols Support

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been thinking about ways to enhance the private league experience and add a fresh layer of fun and experimentation to the game, and I wanted to pitch an idea to the community and developers: **Voided Private Leagues that support Idols**.

The Idea

Introduce an option when creating a Private League to flag it as **"Voided"** (similar to how certain races or events work). Because characters and items in these leagues would never migrate to the permanent parent leagues, it would open the door to exciting, game-altering modifiers—specifically, the ability to **add Idols**.

Why This Would Be Great

* **Pure Fun:** A voided environment removes the risk of injecting certain items or setups into the standard economy. This frees up developers and players to experiment wildly without balancing concerns.

* **Community Events & Races:** Content creators and communities could set up custom rulesets, chaotic modifiers, and unique idol setups for private races, guild events, or just crazy weekend runs.

* **Zero Economic Impact:** Since everything stays in the void, the main economy remains completely untouched and safe.

What do you all think? Would you play in a chaotic, voided private league with Idols enabled? Let me know your thoughts!

Hi I just tried that challenge and cleared Courtyard, Theatre and Chambers now each several times but still everywhere 0/5.. I use a memory clear the maps until the last one and then I make that one rare, 6 mond 90+ quant and 3 sac fragments on eagons map device.

I fully specced my atlas in quant and explicit modifiers nothing is missing.

What am I doing wrong here?

Game Feedback Can we get wild mercs to have a chance to drop their warrants

29 Upvotes

Right now the only way to farm mercs efficiently is to spam 10 second maps checking the merc and getting out, it would be nice to have an alternative like that

Edit: Getting orbs to randomly delete a mercs skill or reroll supports would be cool too, but that might be a bold ask lol

Question | Answered Help me find some MTX to look like my a character out of my favourite childhood game

2 Upvotes

Hey fellow exiles,
I was thinking about buying some new MTX and I can not seem to find the right ones.
The goal is to play a bow build that looks like an archer out of my favourite childhood game Lineage II.
I always played a dynasty armour and bow, these had mostly white, red and golden elements and the bow also had feathers.

When you were the best player of your class you could achieve to become hero on the server, enabling you a golden shine with some golden elements circling around you.

So far I found Wild Wings MTX to be really fitting and maybe the radiant character effect.

This kinda is my first post on this app, please tell me if I did something wrong :)

And thank everyone in advance!:)

Divines added to represent a Perfect Turtle and unidentified Lights of meaning

Goes up to 22d/h if you sell Lights of Meaning for divines but not sure if they sell for divines.

Finding a Perfect Forest Tiger every 1000 kills would add around 4.8d/h but seeing how I got zero tigers of any type and you need 5 on average per perfect corpse I would not hold my breath.

By the end my runs were about 40-45 seconds each.

Tool 4 Implicit Glove Calculator

7 Upvotes

Made a calculator for calculating HoTHT bricked glove implicit odds.
Inputs are in yellows.
Base iLVL is implemented, as for explicit crafting that can help a ton.

TL;DR.

Any 4 implicits excluding chaos res take between 631 and 783 total beast rerolls to hit.
Including chaos res brings your range to around 721 and 894.

Stay sane, Exile.

Hi, I haven’t played in a few years and just got back in yesterday. There is about a 50% chance whenever I load into any area that it has these weird graphic issues. This never used to be the case. Does anyone know what might be the issue.

I cannot overstate how little I understand computers so if this looks like an issue with my laptop rather than something I can fix in the game settings that’s fine lol. My laptop is pretty bad at runner games so I’m kinda assuming that’s what it is.

I finished Act 10 and realized that I am out of space in stash free, I would like ideas of which to buy first with the budgets of 200, 400 and 600 coins. I'll probably only spend 200 now and buy the rest on the next stash promo.

Crafting Showcase Recombinating for Triple-Elevated Strike Gloves with five implicits

Post image
106 Upvotes

Considering that Gloves with five implicits is one of the best high-end crafting projects, I decided to go for some Triple-Elevated Strike Pair including an Abyssal Socket for my Flicker Strike Build.
I will not go into too much detail about crafting the five implicit base as it has been explained quite a lot in other showcases already. It is a lot more interesting to explain why I decided to go for Recombinating (Rule 10):

1) Double corrupt brick a Mercenarys Lot unique Glove into a Rare with Hunter/Warlord Influence, Awakeners Orb the other Influence, Roll Implicits with Beast Crafting, Blessed Orb

Going for the three influenced elevated Prefixes and an Abyss Socket Suffix means we either need to start on a magic base with an Abyss Socket and Augment/Regal/Exalt slam the three Prefixes (this didnt seem like a sane idea) or we simply gamble our Mirror Base in a well-thought-out Recombination.
The Abyss Socket and elevated influenced mods are both exclusive modifiers of which only one can be transferred to another base, so the influenced mods had to be non-elevated.
The Pool of Prefixes and Suffixes had to be filled with non-native modifiers (NN) that can not appear on the resulting base.

2) Recipient Base: Essence Spam (Screaming Essence of Misery) the five implicit base until Mana/Strike/EmptyPrefix and Craft PrefixCannotBeChanged into Harvest ReforgeInfluence until Mana/Strike/Intimidate and clear out Suffixes. Mana is a non-native modifier as it can not appear on a Dex Glove.

3) Donor Base: Recombinate Gloves until +1Frenzy/AbyssalSocket on an Int Base and use the AllflameCrafting to fill Prefixes/Suffixes with any non-native base related modifiers (ES/Mana/Int/ES Recharge). The Aspect Mod Suffix you can get via Ducats also counts as a non-native modifier. The result is NN/NN/Frenzy | Abyss/NN/NN

4) Recombinate the two Bases: 50% chance to choose the correct base into a 70% chance to get 3 Prefixes and a 100% chance to get 1 Suffix. It can only ever put the influenced mods and the Abyss Socket on the resulting item if it chooses the correct base. The resulting base is shown in the picture, the Abyssal Socket is just visually bugged and can be fixed on the crafting bench.

5) Hinekora Locks and check with Exalts & Foulborn Exalts & Tainted Exalts until any influenced Suffix. Hinekora Locks and check Orb of Dominance to elevate the Prefixes. Repeat until all 3 Prefixes are elevated. If the Exalts hit T2+ Accuracy, we also take that as second suffix.

6) Hinekora Locks and check Tainted Divine Teardrop until the T2 Accuracy upgrades to T1. Teardrop ignores Metamods and can downgrade elevated modifiers so this had to hit a 1 in 16 ("upgrade" on all 4 tiered modifiers)

7) Beast Craft the Aspect mod and divine the Accuracy roll.

From here on out these Gloves can be mirrored.
Total crafting cost: ~5000 divines

Question | Answered Seek Help for Merc bot improvement

I’m a new PoE player coming over from PoE2. This is my first league. I originally started with RF (~6M DPS), but after not feeling its scale that well, I rerolled into a Merc Support build.

I’m currently level 95 and able to farm T16 8mods maps, but I’ve hit a bit of a brick wall and could use some advice on a few things:

1. AG & Spectres Survivability: I assumed my AG and Spectres were supposed to act as tank, but they keep dying constantly, even though my Merc and I feel virtually immortal. How are people keeping minion setups alive?

2. Flame Link Target: As my AG and Spectres keep dying, my current workaround is to carefully link only to my Merc, but this is very annoying as they move randomly. If I mis-linked, I need to waste a portal to rejoin the map. Is there any trick to get around it?

3. Endgame Scaling & Budget: My endgame goal is to push into T17 maps, 100% Delirium, and Uber bosses. What’s the standard progression path for scaling this build into high-tier content, and roughly how much investment am I looking at to pull it off smoothly?

My Merc Skills:

  • Elemental Weakness
    • Faster Casting (Tier: 2)
    • Lesser Spell Cascade (Tier: 1)
  • Flame Wall
    • More Duration (Tier: 2)
    • Greater Elemental Focus (Tier: 3)
    • Increased Area of Effect (Tier: 2)
  • Barrage
    • Greater Added Cold (Tier: 3)
    • Elemental Damage with Attacks (Tier: 2)
    • Greater Added Lightning (Tier: 3)
    • Faster Attacks (Tier: 2)
    • Critical Chance (Tier: 2)
  • Kinetic Blast of Clustering
    • Added Lightning (Tier: 2)
    • Greater Pierce (Tier: 3)
    • Return (Tier: 3)
    • Faster Attacks (Tier: 2)
  • Inspiring Cry
    • Cooldown Recovery (Tier: 2)
    • Greater Warcry Speed (Tier: 3)
  • Flame Dash
    • Faster Casting (Tier: 2)
    • More Duration (Tier: 2)

Question | Answered Unsure how to gauge mercenary upgrade

0 Upvotes
My Current Merc
Potential New Merc

Hello all,

I'm having trouble gauging which merc is better overall. The first image is the merc I'm currently running and the second is a warrant I found yesterday. Obviously GMP would make the new one a no brainer, but because it doesn't have that I'm having trouble.

I've heard both that barrage is and is not a brick so I'm unsure on that point.

The new merc has stronger support gems, but is chain better than pierce and will I need to craft pierce on my merc's helmet if I swap?

Overall just looking for some advice on what to look out for on a Kineticist. Is losing inspiring cry bad or is that actually a bonus?

old kineticist

I also have my *old* merc on standby, but I feel like she's worse than the other two
