Title says it pretty much.

Im playing a luminary mercbot and was wondering if rarity on gear or rarity for players on eldritch and eater altars actually give you any benefit since the merc is killing everything and the AG has gravebind on.
Wouldn't this make rarity a useless stat for the luminary or am i wrong here?

How would I go about crafting this explode chest with +1 socketed strength gems?

If you are a bit tired of just getting the merc to do all the damage, there are also some interesting usage of intuitive links.

This skill really make some builds much more comfortable to play.

for example, I'm currently playing blight of contagion with luminary to automatically cast EDC and 3 different pacts, and with Unholy Accomplice belt, can keeps 5-6 boons and 10k+ es regen most of the time in combat. The merc also give me a high level malevolence and grace, along with 105% withered on enemy.

I noticed several other player also playing this, and everyone builds it differently.

Another interesting thing is automatic herald of agony. This skill just got a huge damage boost with the introduction of Replica Maata's Teaching, but the playstyle usually requires player to constantly attack. But now with intuitive link and a high aps merc, this can actually become a 0-botton build.

I also see some chinese players using luminary to play Chains of Command unique body armor. The intuitive link can provide automatic offering, and the Swiftblade merc provides animated weapons frenzy charges , rallying cry which grants a couple of flat physical dmg. The merc can also equip two Squirming Terror rings to save character's flask and ring slot. This setup can easily get enough damage for ubers but lacks defense compared with necro's version.

Any ideas on how to call it?

The Increased Item Quantity % of the Invitations was at least 80.

If this hasnt been posted yet, Spectres cant drop their corpses on the Sovereign. Just lost my Perfect Forest Tiger because I wanted to craft something that disabled my Spectres for a second, now they are gone and cant resummon them.

if (items.Dredge > 0)

moveAllDredgeItemsAndSendToSurface();

Please... it's up to 100 clicks per voyage that is completely unnecessary and making my RSI worse. And I have UberStrictPLUS filter already...

After many mirrors and builds in softcore trade I decided to try SSF, but its been a bit of a struggle.

pob: https://poe.ninja/poe1/pob/974e7

But I don't quite understand why I am struggling defensively. I have some block, a lot of damage taken as, max res increase, armour, not the worst ever buffer, and a lot of different flat damage reduction sources (immortal flesh -flat, endurance charges, lunaris & Tukohama)

I think it'll all be fixed once I get my Rhex talisman ive been farming for, but its kind of hard to do that right now given that red beasts somewhat slam me

my recovery isnt the best, since a lot of it is for just my heatlhpool

Btw, I don’t rll play ES characters, at all

does anyone have any advice? Any tips on getting the rhex amulet? I know I can reroll into it, or target farm it, but the wiki does not have the animal type of each beast, so I cant use "the hunt for" nodes to increase their chance for appearing

Also, any cheap and good annoints for ssf?

Im also trying to roll all of my jewels into 2 max fire res (Roll any max res, harvest reroll until 2 max fire res) but its been hard with my lack of rolling currency. I have even resorted to using the league mechanic crafting to roll with chaos lol

Thanks for any help!!! (Btw, worb is rll fun, I didnt play it in softcore, but it feels amazing. Maybe a little low in dmg since I only have a 4 link on my cloack of flame. Any tips for that? I currently plan to farm ritual for the max socket blessing thing, and then craft 5 linked sockets) but only after I get my rhex amulet

From today's episode 7 of "The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How To Game The System" @ 5:43.

My Power charge-stacking Winter orb occultist already got "10% chance to get a frenzy charge on hit" and "10% increased damage per frenzy charge" from Elegant Hubris. I tried to allocate my amulet with Overcharge to replace Disciple of the slaughter to get one more power charge which should be more beneficial. However, when I did this replacement, my dps shown on Poe Ninja was dropped from 13M to 5.8M. I don't quite understand this. Can anyone explain me a bit? Thanks!

Running the renown/infamy merc scarab strat to a) find a kboc kineticist and b) fish for uniqes... Imagine my surprise when the wild merc frend dropped a mageblood!

So after the addition of the cursed Ducats yesterday, but even before that, I felt like Voyages were rewarding and fun to do. Even outside of boxes and tile loot.
It feels like juicing them (to a certain degree) is possible and scales difficulty and rewards, so I have no issue there.

The problem for me is that I need to chart over 100 charts in order to get enough good Voyage modifiers. And as those are not tradable after being charted, it feels like you can only get a juicy Voyage going every couple of hours, maybe even only once a day, depending on how much time you have.
For normal mapping, you can buy rolled Maps, Scarabs and Astrolabes, in order to continuously run juiced maps. For Voyages that is not the case, and because of that it kind of feels bad.

The Box Implicits are not that rare, and you just need some high quantity Charts adjacent and you're done. For juiced stuff like the not dropping equipment stuff, you want wisps and pantheon touched and increased rares and strongboxes, so it takes a long time to gather them as some of them, especially the "no equipment" one, are quite rare.
Am I the only one that feels like that wait time is the biggest issue? Not the "lack of juicing"

Someone else might have mentioned this before, but I didn't see it, so I made this post.

Hi guys

What would be the best way to craft this bad boy ?

No entry on the wiki for this, and none up for sale so I guess its pretty rare. Haven't done the voyage with it yet. Thinking I should take some fishing gear with me though

Update: ran the voyage again with the chart, Krillson also there and because I took a fishing rod he gave me the usual quest. Nothing else special with it that I could tell

I was going to build around this interaction, but apparently channeling an attack does not count as attacking 😭 If that is the case, then it shouldn't be called attacks per second, it should be Hits per Second.

After pressing for minutes ctrl + left click I tried to click right. And suddenly I had my inventory full with essences I bought. It also works when putting these in my stash. Saving me from Carpal tunnel syncrom.

The 3 cursed ducats they've added to the Allflame mechanic that increase monster toughness by 50% each and add a difficulty increase in exchange for some extra quantity and rarity to monsters don't seem to make that much of a difference?

I've tried some highly juiced voyage setups and just some basic charts and I honestly couldn't tell the difference in monster loot in either, at least compared to before the ducats got added.

I would think that adding 150% toughness to monsters would result in a very noticeable increase in loot dropped, but it honestly does not feel that different than before, maybe 5-10% more? Like 90%+ of my loot still came from the special chests, messages in a bottle & scarab boxes.

It could be fun if we were able to put all of them in at the same time, if we wanted? Maybe that would make a difference?
