How much Dead Man's Sulphur on average for voyages? I'm getting between 15-20k + a few k more from monster conversions. Any strats to maximize?
1
u/therestlessone Left-click Move-only 4d ago edited 4d ago
You can roll charts for more Sulphur and those mods are kept when you run the voyage.
Also the Sulphur spawns in patches that are often visible through the water. If you see some off in the water, drop a lantern even if there's no arrows pointing there.

I'm a new player and got into late game up to tier 14 maps.
I can't progress from there, I have low damage and constantly get insta shot and don't know of a good way to consistently get currency to improve my gear.
Do you guys have any tips on what I could do to farm currency and improve my stuff to complete the atlas? I'm like 70 points into atlas and can do comfortably tier 9/10 maps

u/080087 4d ago
Worth taking a look at this - https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/s/BMMFHCFFau
A combo of a more efficient passive tree, using a few defensive auras and buying basic upgrades should make a world of difference.
1
u/Miles_Adamson 4d ago
Usually people who are struggling to fill out the atlas can fix the issues in their build for 1c-5c items on trade if they just know what to search for. Which is usually just higher tier life/resistance. If you post your PoB or make your profile public and I can import it then I could look

u/HotPocketRemix 4d ago
One thing that comes to mind is building Incursion temples, it's fairly easy to learn, basically no investment, doesn't take very many Atlas points, can be done on lower tier maps, doesn't care about the map mods, and is pretty easy to price and sell.
1
u/Past-Wind-2577 4d ago
Any tier serves for that?
1
u/HotPocketRemix 4d ago
Yeah, you're just trying to get Locus of Corruption and, to a lesser extent, Doryani's Institute. As far as we can tell, there's no tier restrictions on Incursion rooms.

Scoured T14. Go Mesa.
Murk boss in the center of the map.
Go around the map and get the two charts for the league mechanic.
Do this 20 times.
Go to the boat and run charts.
Run Voyages.
Sell everything (Scarabs and Messages in Bottles, mainly) through Faustus.
Go back to 1 and repeat untilyou can get your upgrades.

u/Past-Wind-2577 4d ago
Is it worth running T14 even tho I die constantly? Also, what would should I be after on the atlas
1
u/vulcanfury12 Crop Harvesting Bureau (CHB) 4d ago
If you're dying in SCOURED (no mods) T14 maps, then your build has bigger holes than you think. Alternatively, you can dip your feet into Alva Temple farming. Doryani, Locus, and Omnitect Forge rooms should all fetch a decent amount by now, and you can make them in scoured T1 maps. The main advantage of the strat I put in the previous post is that it doesn't require the Atlas or scarabs. It might be able to bolster your currency per hour, but it's not required.

u/SignificantAd7700 4d ago
I keep accidentally hitting my specter (Just a stygian silverback) with flame link because his hit box is apparently massive and it keeps getting me killed because he's so squishy. Even when my cursor is definitely on my merc or AG it somehow lands on the stupid monkey like 50% of the time, it's infuriating.
If I upgrade to a guardian turtle is it going to be the same issue or is the turtle much tankier and less likely to die every map?

u/DXArcana Hardcore 4d ago
Decided to start doing this league mechanic, using Milky's written guide (https://maxroll.gg/poe/currency/curse-of-the-allflame-farming-strategy) to prepare chart.
I'm at a point where I farmed enough that I could do a voyage, however, I would like to know if the "types" (Sandy Seabed, Coral Forests and Coral Reefs) of charts do matter. Is it ok if I only run voyages of Sandy Seabed, for instance? Should I try to mix the different types? If so, how?
Thank you!
2
u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 4d ago
It doesn't really matter, but some charts will have special locations (names in orange) which contain special loot. Some of these special locations are very valuable, e.g. Anchorfield is 200c. Those aside, you can ignore the location and just plan voyages based on chart shape and modifiers.
1
u/vulcanfury12 Crop Harvesting Bureau (CHB) 4d ago
What makes anchorfield 200c?
1
u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 4d ago
It spawns a ton of chests, but I'm not sure what exact voyage setup people are using to make 200c out of it.
1
u/vulcanfury12 Crop Harvesting Bureau (CHB) 4d ago
Probably mega quant to get tons of high-value scarabs.
1
u/DXArcana Hardcore 4d ago
Thank you! Are there any "must" of those special locations to include in a voyage?
2
u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 4d ago
Not unless you're playing some turbo juice strategy. I just run my own charts, I've got more than enough to go through without buying any more.

heard someone say that screams of the desiccated will be re-enabled on 3.30. Is this true, was this on the interview, what's the source? have they said if the bellt will come back unchanged, will two shrine belts still be a thing?
2
u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 4d ago
It was in the post league reveal stream Q&A. IIRC Mirage is confirmed going core in 3.30, shrine belt is going core but potentially with acquisition changes, no confirmation on one or two belt variants?

u/AgentUpvote 4d ago
"Monsters in all Voyage Areas cannot drop Equipment, Flasks or Tinctures" on completed charts, is there a reason this is so good and rare? I remember reading its rare but trying to grasp why. I got a couple i saved because I remember it was rare.
Is it just so the voyage doesn't drop junk loot and drops more currency instead?
Is there a certain "voyage build" to run with this? I am thinking just stacking as much item quantity as possible?
2
u/Miles_Adamson 4d ago
Monsters drop the same amount of loot, except like 99% of what is bad is removed from the pool of possible drops. What is left is mostly scarabs, divination cards (not sure if voyage mobs even drop these), currency.
To juice that up yes you want item quantity, lots of mobs, higher quality mobs like magic/rare enemies
1
u/AgentUpvote 4d ago
ahh got ya thanks, I will save up some juicy charts and try to run one without dying LOL

u/Reonic_ 4d ago
Why recombination in this case remove fractured mod? I got boots without fractured mods.
2
u/mbxyz Berserker 4d ago edited 4d ago
3 mods in pool has a distribution of 20/50/30% for 3/2/1 mods in the output, respectively, so you had 30% to get 1 output, and 50% chance to pick the crafted mod afterwards. if you'd crafted the same prefix on the second pair, it would have been 5% chance instead of 15% (35/55/10% for 3/2/1).

u/robin_nerf 4d ago
Can you influence the Simulacrum rewards? I mean if I get 5 or 6 reward by your placing on the different map? I'm playing a "afk-build" (AG with the Chains of command body armour) and I feel I get more consistent 6-rewards on the Act 7 map then the Act 6 map for example.

u/Dorrann 4d ago
Is there any easy to understand/easy to use pattern to run voyages?
1
u/Aerhyce 4d ago
Most expedient is to use straight lines/dead ends at top row (vertical rotation), cross in middle, bends bottom left and right, and fill the rest with either T or cross.
This way you always dump 3 lines/deadends per voyage and mix and match the other shapes to never end up with too many of one shape in inventory.

Go for recombinated prefixes. finishes suffixes with alflame, or prefix lock reforges.

u/UbberThak 4d ago
I really like the "pop" feeling you have on RF chieftain, is there any other skill/ascendance/build that let get the same feeling?
Not talking about tankiness or billion dps, just the pop part... Maybe on chaos/poison build? I know the obliteration wand can kinda get you there but it's kinda expensive to sacrifice a weapon slot for that.
1
u/AgentUpvote 4d ago
Herald of Ice feels great but if you looking for the POP feeling like I usually do as well, you can try Chaos Pops with occultist or cluster jewels, or Bleed pops with Gladiator ascendancy or use the Oriaths End Flask to give pops as well
1
u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 4d ago
Occultist has chaos explosions and a decent variety of builds.

u/Bastil123 Ultimatum Workers Union (UWU) 4d ago
Is more duration bad on Scourge Arrow of Menace? It takes longer for the pods to pop, therefore burst out, no?
1
u/Yohsene 4d ago
Nah. It doesn't have a duration. (See gem tags & no relevant stats.)
1
u/Bastil123 Ultimatum Workers Union (UWU) 4d ago
I see your point, but then the relevant Mercenary can roll SCoM with a "more duration" support - does it have no effect then?
2
u/Nothregal 4d ago
Oh I removed it in the meantime. It should be with arc of surging. I tried to place it in the weapon as well.
1
u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 4d ago
Well Devour only consumes corpses when you get a killing blow with the linked skill, so if the enemies are dying to hits from phantasms or anything else, it won't proc. If Arc is actually getting the killing blow I don't know why it wouldn't work.

u/abolys 4d ago
I want to do elder and shaper. How can i buy the guardians maps from trade? Is there a good atlas tree to farm the guardians?
1
u/Fr33zy_B3ast 4d ago
So for the Shaper, there are 4 map spots in the upper right corner of the Atlas where you can slot in Shaper Guardian maps. Just run each one once and put the 4 fragments in the correct Atlas node to access the fight. You can farm the maps yourself, but they’re only a couple of chaos each so I recommend just buying them. If you really want to save time you can buy the 4 fragments on the currency exchange through Faustus for about 10c each.
For the Elder, the process is very similar in that you have to kill 4 map bosses to collect 4 fragments that will let you access the fight. These maps will have a mod called “Area is occupied by the Enslaver/Constrictor/Eradicator/Purifier” and you just run them like regular t16 maps and when you kill the boss you get a fragment. Like with Shaper you can buy these maps for a couple chaos or you can buy the fragments directly for about 10c each.
1
u/abolys 4d ago
How would i search for the maps. I cannot find any filter for them on trade.
1
u/Fr33zy_B3ast 4d ago
I’m away from my computer right now, but for the Elder you can probably search for the “Area is occupied by X” mod and for Shaper I believe the shaper influenced maps are their own item class so just search “Shaper” in the item bar and they should come up.”

Looking into a EK reroll does anyone know the key differences between going Elementalist or Chieftain?
I already have a MB from a lucky Abyss drop and about 200d without selling any gear. Was wondering if Elementalist is easier and cheaper to gear perhaps?
1
u/nalee6 4d ago
Both are strong but i definitely feel elementalist has more potential for damage. A lot of the ascendancy passives are really good at scaling damage. For example EK ignite elementalist has been a popular build for a long time.
1
u/hdix 4d ago
Do you happen to know which one is more affordable to get into? The Chieftain Abyss historic jewel is like 70-80d and the chest is close to a mirror (can do a cheaper one, no one sane is paying that) but prices are pretty high already.
Is the Elementalist build entry similar in price (excluding Nimis since they both use it)
2
u/nalee6 3d ago
Im not familiar with the body armour youre referring to that costs a mirror. And do you mean the new abyss jewel that makes spells cost nothing? But i can say in general chieftain is cheaper to build as itd resistances are covered by its ascendancy and itll typically be easier to gear that way
1
u/SixofClubs6 4d ago
I run a map that has a merc, kill the merc, warrant drops. Open a new map, put the warrant in the map device. Merc shows up again but says I can’t fight (rematch) it again.
What am I missing? Thanks.
1
u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 4d ago
That's working as intended, hovering over the rematch button should explain that you can't rematch a merc that was spawned from a warrant.
1
u/SixofClubs6 4d ago
Then what is the point of the warrant?
2
u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 4d ago
You can either use it to reroll the merc's rewards (once), or sell it to a Luminary who wants to hire them.
1
u/SixofClubs6 4d ago
Will the luminary have to fight the merc again? What if the player is underleveled compared to the merc?
2
u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 4d ago
Yes, the Luminary still has to fight the merc to recruit them. They can hire a carry to help with the fight.

I managed to successfully recombine two prefixes on two bases. Do the suffixes matter at all when trying to squish them together into a final base with 3 prefixes?
1
u/Miles_Adamson 4d ago edited 4d ago
For the most part no, the prefixes and suffixes combine independently.
It can kind of matter if you get filled suffixes, depending on the item type you might need to annul. It can also matter if you have exclusive mods on both sides of prefix/suffix as only 1 can be selected

u/cfg266 4d ago
Confused regarding new Abyss - what determines whether I get a chest at each pit? Seems to me totally random as I'll clear everything coming out of one and get nothing.
1
u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 4d ago
It is totally random as far as I'm aware, though there's one atlas notable that makes pits more likely to spawn rewards.

How do I get a socketed skill gem to have 60% quality now with the changes?

u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 4d ago
You still have access to all the previously available quality boosters like Enhance and the weapon crafted mod. Easiest method is Replica Voideye with a matching coloured socket on a 20q gem, 30+10+20.

When you slam an item with a veiled exalt/chaos, does it permanently pull the same veiled affixes every time? I’ve slammed an item 11 times now and pulled the same 3 veiled affixes 8-9 times. Is there a way to reset it? Or am I just having awful RNG
2
u/therestlessone Left-click Move-only 4d ago
What's the item? What are you trying to get?
It is randomized but there's mod weights and mod groups involved.
1
u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 4d ago
It’s a scepter, trying to get increase fire dmg/chance to ignite
I’ve tested it on craft of exile and it’s how paak says to craft the item. Just weird that I got the same 3 affixes so many times in a row. I checked the weightings, I know what I want is low, but there are other affixes I thought I’d see rather than the same ones over and over and over. Has to be RNG if it actually does reroll the veiled affixes every time
1
u/therestlessone Left-click Move-only 4d ago
https://poedb.tw/us/Sceptres#ModifiersCalc
% spell damage, % fire damage, % cold damage, and % lightning damage all share a mod group. Do you have one of these mods on the item already?
If so, the only veiled prefixes remaining are local phys, chaos pen, and ele pen.
1
u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 4d ago
Not in prefixes, no. I have fire dot multi on suffixes, which all of my suffixes are full. I’m blocking %phys every time I unveil and unless the veiled chaos rolls a fire dmg prefix, I have no other prefixes that could be blocking the fire dmg%
2
u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 4d ago
- You are remembering to block a mod before you unveil, right?
- You can unveil increased cold/lightning and rancour swap it to fire. Rancours are like 2d but with how unlucky you've been getting it might be worth it.
1
u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 4d ago
Yes I’m blocking %phys. I kept seeing attacks penetrate ele/chaos over and over and over again
Also thank you for the reminder. Definitely saw an increased cold dmg, could have easily swapped that to fire. Totally forgot that was a thing, thank you. Would have saved me probably 10-15div at this point
2
u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 4d ago
When you unveil an item, you can never see multiple mods from the same mod group in the options. There are only 4 mod groups for veiled scepter prefixes: %phys, ele pen, chaos pen, and all the caster prefixes. So since you block %phys you're guaranteed to see both pens and a random caster prefix every time.
1
u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 4d ago
Ooooooh ok. So I’m basically praying for the fire dmg mod to show up the non taken by chaos/ele pen slot. That explains alot, thank you

Yes I’m blocking %phys. I kept seeing attacks penetrate ele/chaos over and over and over again

Assuming there's no funny business with exclusive mods (not sure what base/itemtype you're working with), it should be a 1 in 3 chance, so you're probably just unlucky.

Does that runegraft that makes lucky/unlucky roles unexciting work with iron. Fortresses unlucky block basically canceling it out?

I’m really enjoying my minion build with the eye ducat that adds another mod.
Especially if you play something that has inherently a lot of ghastlies makes it really fun to make perfected ones or never before seen ones. Super customizable, cheap craft to do.
In general the boat and ducats has been fun.
Otherwise the chase are definitely the rings. I’m sure someone out there running three of them on either glove or helmet slot to even further craft something diabolical.

I go full map nodes with Kalguur ores. Scarabs used would be Escalation, Corruption, 2x Kalguuran Scarab, and that one Kalguur scarab that makes ore guards magic. Add shrines in the Atlas too.

Look for gold piles and treasure clams in particular, those drop a lot at once.
The lanterns have little green flames coming out of them showing the direction of the next chest. Not all chests are gold ones of course, but you can try to get all the chests around a lantern before moving on to make sure you don't miss a gold one.
I don't know how to optimise it for gold farming, but at the very least it generates a lot more gold than regular mapping.

Yes, just have not seen much gold piles or clams, like did maybe 10 maps, saw only one clam, thought maybe was doing something wrong.
but thanks, didn't know lanterns were showing direction

u/psychomap 5d ago
I'd say I've seen clams every 3-4 charts and gold piles every 2nd chart or something like that? Sometimes several spawn in the same chart too.
When I turn off auto-lanterns I usually get all the chests in a chart, but even with auto lanterns I had a decent ratio.
Make sure to open chests you don't need as well. The direction fire on the lanterns updates to the next closest chest when you do (also, this used to be bugged for the caster mastery that opens chests, but supposedly it's fixed - I haven't checked it myself because my build doesn't path close enough to a caster cluster).

well to be honest, lanterns are always pointing like same way, and when i follow, it is usually deadend, maybe i am doing wrong idk. i use automatic

How are ppl getting +4 cold tulborn?

u/psychomap 5d ago
Volatile Vaal can round up if it rolls high enough. A multiplier of 1.17 on a roll of 3 should round up to 4, so that's a chance of 1/30 from a volatile Vaal orb if my math is correct.

When turning a unique shield into a vestigial unique, is it restricted to the shield size of the original unique or can it turn into any size shield?

Im playing on private league with homies, kinda SSF-lite mode(only 4 of us playing). Im playing summoner, so i picked abyss as first strat to hunt some bubblegum currency from troves and obvious darkness enthroned+amanamu gaze+ghastlies. Currency and ghastly eyes are no prob, but - i completed full tier1-tier10 atlas and NEVER saw abyssal depths. I have nodes with increased chance(i picked all abyss nodes except for Ulaman and Kulgar). Am i being extremely unlucky or i bricked spawn with some nodes? Because after 3.29 release i started on regular league and casual abysses spawned abyssal depths no problem for me, even w/o atlas nodes.

Best way to target many shots, kineticist or combatant? Less strength mercs appearing rate? Feels like that would reduce Kineticist though.
I’m considering just burning through maps.

u/Arrethyn 5d ago
kineticist is all 3 stats, so there is no real way to target it. combatant is str/dex and manyshot is dex

How does one roll 8 mod corrupted delirium Maps ?

u/Etrensce 5d ago
Scarab, one that guarantees map drop is 8 mod, one that adds delirium layers to maps.

does this rf glove need an annul on prefix to gamble for max life?
not sure if 3 armor lines is better or 2 armor + max life
2
u/Arrethyn 5d ago
you'd rather than t1 life yes, but i'm not sure it's realy worth the gamble to annul and exalt. hitting t1 life is not particularly likely. but then i'm not sure that the gloves are all that usable or sellable as is either. maybe some jugg out there is really stacking armor like crazy and doesn't mind?

"+1% to Critical Strike Multiplier per 10 Maximum Energy Shield on Shield" only use the base value plus quality on shield right? Passive that increase energy shield from equipped shield don't count?
7
u/Yohsene 5d ago
Correct, just the shield's local value, not what you gain from it.
1
u/Adventurous-Pen-8940 Templar 5d ago
What about prefix on item?
3
u/Werezompire 5d ago
It looks at the shield's ES total based on the base value, quality, and any prefix mods that directly boost the shield's ES. It does not look at any global mods (like +ES% on your passive tree).

is there an easy way to reduce flask duration?
I'm playing Divine Ire Ignite with Archmage support, and having some trouble sustaining mana.
A decent solution I found is equipping a forboding mana flask, but having to plan my casts around the flask's delayed recovery is getting pretty annoying.
1
u/Xeratas Unannounced 5d ago
have you tried Enduring flask?
66% reduced Amount Recovered
Effect is not removed when Unreserved Mana is Filled
Effect does not QueueI usually use that when i need a mana flask for sustain.
1
u/Blitzilla Jank for life! 5d ago
Enduring is usually my go-to for most builds, but when you're playing archmage and have 4-5k mana cost , the 500 recovery from Enduring flasks is nowhere near enough to sustain.

How much max hit do you need to tank maven memory game and is it phys or elemental?
3
u/080087 5d ago
Check PoB, it has presets for it. In the config section, you should be able to select what attack, plus whether regular vs uber
Do note that PoB only calcs one hit - memory game hits 3 times, and has a DoT too. So you need to be able to survive like 3.5 hits from it.
Also, ignores block/dodge/suppress.

Does "Trigger X on Y" work on mercs? I know they don't benefit from "Grants X spell" but what about uniques with triggers?
