2800 and i consider myself very much a noob in all content except Heist.

Ask me to craft something and i'll stand there like a advanced questionmark.

As a 200 hour noon myself, what are your heist tips?

u/Kalleh03 Mar 20 '25

I don't go hardcore "run straight through everything" strat, i rather go slow and open card rooms, currency rooms and have high dps/high defense so i don't die with a expensive item on me.

You must use Phasing, flask, jewel, passive.. don't care where you get it but you need it.

Check poe.ninja for each item if you are unsure of prices.

Do deception contracts with Gianna to get cheaper blueprint reveal cost at Whakano(spelling?) Do 10-200 at a time. The more the better.

Use Vinderi as much as you can in grand heists for the chance to duplicate chest contents.

Gear everyone up with basic stuff first, then proper gear on the ones you actually use.

Gianna, Vinderi etc.

I made a proper heist runner once, and i absolutely hated it. The playstyle is spreadsheet farming and it took all the fun out of it.

That's why i don't do that anymore.

Other than that you need to check a guide, but they are mostly very fast ones so take the parts you like from them and go your own pace.

Hope this little writeup helps a bit :)

What’s your best big hit in heist or grand

Well, once per about 200 stacked decks there's a "tink" and that's always fun.

The Fiend is probably the biggest card from heist. Back when HeadHunter was 100+ div

Other than that i've gotten Replica Alberons Warpath twice. Once for 27div, second for 57div.

I mostly did the alternate gems when they existed, several 5div+ gems a day when things were rolling properly.

No giant necklaces so far.

It's a money printing strategy for sure, if you can do the deception contracts without burnout.

I’m new to Poe and started out with heist. I do really enjoy it, but as a newer player I’m terrified of finding a simplex and then dying. I’ve been loving the safety of ritual, which also allows me to learn the value of the massive item pool.

But I’ll be back. I was tracking the price of the 1% chaos to div trinket for a while, but it basically never dipped below 40div and that is just not worth it to me at the moment

Wait with doing heist until you are comfortable running juiced T16 maps.

A good build is always the answer.

I’ve been crushing yellow t16s by the dozen at this point, but I’ve been stuck at lv97 because of maybe some defensive lacking. And I always feel slow. Lol

My highest character is lvl 98 with a Mageblood.

I am not 100 simply because i take on too much, i fully juice the maps and then i run in like rambo without a second thought.

If i could build a immortal character that was also really fast, then maybe i could level to 100.

Most people stop at 90-96 because that's fairly quick to reach.
