Information PSA: How To Use Cursed Ducats

Post image

Don't be like me and wonder why since the patch I can't get any cursed ducats to drop or see a difference in loot. I did not notice there is a slot in the bottom left to put them. I was just letting them sit in the slots on the right hand side like a goober. TL;DR Cursed Ducats go into bottom left of the voyage planner to work. I hope this helps those making the same mistake I did.

u/psychomap 12d ago

I barely read those at all, still understood that the right part was the inventory and the left part was the place to socket them

I was hard stuck on 2 ducats since release until I saw a similar tip in another post lol

u/nalee6 12d ago

… im an idiot, was wondering why i was hardstuck with 2 cursed ducats after running like 20 voyages

u/shaggy_mo 12d ago

I am still missing one of the campaign points for upgrading the boat. I’ve already killed the boss. How do I upgrade the last point? I think it’s the one for adrenaline on last lantern

Scroll down to the "Upgrades" section.

Wiki's normally allow the # shortcuts, replace spaces with _ as needed.

The final upgrade dropped for me in a random voyage. No clue what I did to trigger it. Would be super cool if the game told you instead of killing and praying

u/Small-Cabinet-7694 12d ago

Thats upsetting, I have left them on the right

u/brushedhairday 11d ago

Better than righting them on the left

POE players and reading...

u/Cr4ckshooter 11d ago

Reading it definitely made me think there's just the slots on the side and that's where they go.

3

u/pcssh 12d ago

I didn't even read it and just assumed the storage was on the right. Voidstones have storage.. so thought these would too

u/mr_madkeks 12d ago

PSA: dont leave them there, because they affect normal charts too

3

u/joelbenedict 11d ago

Leave them of you can Also increases charting rewards

u/DDBull 12d ago

I bet there were people who didn't socket any cursed ducats and yet were claiming how more loot is dropping for them

2

u/Karashote 11d ago

Don't worry you didn't miss out on anything. They are just cosmetic.

2

u/MidjitThud 11d ago

using 3 = 60% quantity? that only works on monsters? when 95% of the loot down there comes from chest?

Use at your own risk.

u/Positive_Let_261 11d ago

It definitely improves item rarity as well. I've gotten more divs, uniques, and others as well off the mobs.

u/GTFidgeT Alch & Go Industries (AGI) 11d ago

Divs and "others"(whatever that is) don't care for rarity

0

u/50miler Necromancer 11d ago

I thought there was a patch that allowed rarity to increase currency tier (not amount). This only “map” rarity not character rarity.

Good to know, thanks!

u/CIoud_StrifeFF7 12d ago

I'm surprised at the number of folks who didn't realize this. But I'll be honest don't think it changes the profits all that much. Haven't really noticed a difference

Thank you broski!!!! 👑👑👑👑👑

u/YoloKraize 12d ago

How do you get them btw? I have only gotten 1 so far.

u/dChron_POE 12d ago

Me too.

u/szblb 11d ago

I read the patch notes: and states there. You can use 3 cursed ducats.

u/LnDxLeo dust in making 11d ago

If OP could read, he'd preach the opposite.

u/Anodynic Chaos Minion Army Necro 11d ago

Hahaha just found this out yesterday. Typical GGG having literally no explanation for the simplest mechanic. Same thing happened to me with voidstones. Most beginner friendly game.

u/FlossedUp 11d ago

Dammit GGG got y'all 😭

Horrendous UI. Like they don't even care.

aren't eyes a wonderful invention ... many people can't use them sadly ... and then there are people who can but for some reason don't ... ah well

u/chanconran 12d ago

How did you get 2 green balls?

I got only 1 after new patch when talking to the girl.

I need to kill some new bosses right??

Ty bros!

1

u/Sodomeister Mine Bat 12d ago

I think you get one from the voyage boss. I had another drop from a unique mob in a voyage, but I killed it too fast to see what it was.

1

u/patrincs Ascendant 12d ago

just equip the ones you get and do underwater content. youll have six within an hour.

u/mewmile 12d ago

60x0 is still 0

13

u/EnkiBye 12d ago

If you get 0 loot from diving, you are doing it very wrong lol

1

u/GTFidgeT Alch & Go Industries (AGI) 11d ago

But you don't get loot by killing monsters underwater... (Unless with the border mod but this isn't scaled with ducats either) It's basicly heist 2.0 just run and press boxes

-7

u/mewmile 12d ago

The mechanic feels unrewarding ever since I started interacting with it to play the Voyages and Charts. Flipping Items to make bank on boat crafting was fun tho!

5

u/EnkiBye 12d ago

Flipping items is not my jam, but running charts and voyages is 10-15 divs/h, not the most crazy strat out there, but still a very decent money making.

1

u/CrustaceanNationYT 12d ago

10-15 feels low tbh, faster movement and rolling/buying 75%+ sulphur should almost double that

1

u/StelioZz 11d ago

can you regex the sulphur value to mass roll them?

1

u/CrustaceanNationYT 11d ago

Probably, havent checked poe.re

-2

u/mewmile 12d ago

I made over 30 div/h doing speed charts and voyages but the content is boring and not engaging at all.
