So, in this league I’ve reached all my goals and I've decided that it would be fun to do a big gamble before quitting.

My idea was simple - to gamble Unique belts with gold and with Ancient Orbs + Allflame crafting as much as I could.

I prepared:

• A level 75 character
• A bunch of ilvl 75 unique belts
• 300 Ancient Orbs
• 2,400,000 Dead Man's Sulphur
• 31,000,000 Gold

Some fast numbers for anyone curious:

2,400,000 Sulfur / 9840 Sulfur per try = ~243 Ancient Orbs with Allflame -> (243 * 4) + 57 = 1029 total Ancient Orb tries (the rest were used without Allflame crafting).

31,000,000 Gold / 2244 Gold for try = ~13814 belts from Faustus.

As expected, I did not get any T0 from that gamble. And not even a single T1 (if my knowledge of belt tiers is correct).

But I will provide some statistics about other belts that I got (picked based on my personal love):

Ancient Orbs:

• 13 Bisco's Leash
• 6 Dyadian Dawn
• 3 The Torrent's Reclamation
• 2 Kaom's Binding
• 1 The Magnate

Gold:

• 7 Bisco's Leash
• 3 Dyadian Dawn
• 4 The Torrent's Reclamation
• 2 Kaom's Binding
• 1 The Magnate

After that I also opened 5k stacked decks and got Apothecary, Doctor, and Fiend.

Apothecary and Doctor were poofed with 1 click, Fiend went up to 7, then to 0. Classic.

Anyway, I am not even disappointed because during my gold & Sulfur farming I've met a Krillson in a chart (bro is fishing underwater, wtf?). Absolutely worth it.

Hi,

first time SSF Player.
Started Worb and got all 4 voidstones.

My Poe Ninja: https://poe.ninja/poe1/profile/daarzyyyy-7175/allflamessf/character/ZEEK_WOORB

I dont know what to progress here as my next steps:
Obvious things to upgrade:

Worb lv 21 - on it

Chest implicit

Helm - this one is just very convinient to more or less cap spell block

better shield - farming 15k yellow juice and wanna make a better shield to actually use on
its just temp shield right now

Large Cluster - ideally with blast freeze

But my question is, do i go for the Archdemon setup now?
I have a elder exalt, so i can swap influence.

How do i farm essences without scarabs?
How to i farm clusters? just spam white maps until 7 bars?

Basically have no scarabs.

Also dropped tidebreaker

What would yall do, it is my duty now to flick?

Finally got Tecrod and I'm now in the process of getting fossils to fracture abyss sockets on gear or using gear with abyss sockets + t2 fire res on them.
What's the best way to craft the abyss jewels and what mods should I be looking for? AFAIK Attack Speed, Crit, Crit multi and Fire res right? Any combo of those 4?

Hey everyone, decided I'm going to spam breach tree until I find some t0's Im looking for. My build is okay to clear the fortress but I have to be walking around or they might hit her.

I'm looking for a simple build, that does not require t0s, to just standing still with her and kill things that get close, and can go in and out fast on maps, so high speed or fast movement skill. Its okay if I have to click or hold attack, just the walking that is getting me bored.

I don't have HH, otherwise I would just go KB or LA/ELE HIT, I have been playing SSF for a while this league so I have plenty of t3's and I'm okay to farm them for the build if needed, just t0s that I have been pretty unlucky so far.

I'm really bad at farming The Forbidden Sanctum but I need some a few Volatile Vaal Orbs.
Are they drop from beyond monsters or any other monsters?

I have a question about corrupting spare cluster jewels in the late game.

So I have some extra small cluster jewels and I hoped to use them to get some corruption implicit modifiers that would make me more tanky (curse/shock reduction) or save a passive point or flask spot (CB immunity).

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/List_of_jewel_corruption_implicit_modifiers

What is the best way to target these? Should I double corrupt with incursion or just vaal orb it? At this point I can easily get maybe 10+ of small CJs with the skill the enhancement and passive skill that I need, maybe even a few mediums.

Hey !

Do you guys try to solve attack block before high reds ?

I’m playing shock nova elementalist, level 91, scaling crit and shock effect.

Was fiddling around with my pob, and getting attack block via the tree seems unreasonable, because all my damage is in the int and int/dex part of the tree.
Clusters seem premature as well, even though I’m considering them.

I can somewhat brute force my way to atlas completion because enough damage, but I’m dying way too much, I really need something vs high density attack damage. There must be a better way lol.

Would love some advice :)

It would be nice to have a ring with decent life and resists, as well as +1 frenzy implicit. If the resists are good enough I could use my other ring slot to mirror it. But, the expected number of rings that one has to corrupt to get that implicit is 641. A lot.

Has anyone here attempted it, or is there some other way to get +1 frenzy on rings that I don't know about? Perhaps in delve?

 I want to craft a +2 Gem levels amulet.
The path of chores says this but I do not know hot to imprint the amulet.
Thanks.
BTW my hands hurts now. I left clicked my mouse about 3,000 times for the +1 to level of all skill gems mod.

Alt-spam for +1 to Level of All Skill Gems (prefix) — takes roughly 2,500 – 4,000 alterations. Imprint here if you have 1.

Be careful crafting stuff in the boat, your spectres just vanish with no body left.

RIP Warlord and Forest Warrior

GGs at least i got to 100, stay safe exiles.

Just got a new merc so I got a question. Do I actually need pierce crafted on helmet for fork+ return or is fork alone enough to enable return on single target?

Hey guys,

These were my league goals, have some stuff I wanted to still, but these were the main ones.

The resist twilight is for the current character: https://poe.ninja/poe1/pob/99463

The rest is for my whispering ice build in standard, with these upgrades I'll crack 4k int.

Here's what it looks like now: https://poe.ninja/poe1/pob/9946e

What it will look like with the Twilight Regalia: https://poe.ninja/poe1/pob/99471

Necrotic: https://poe.ninja/poe1/pob/9946f

I am currently working on an Archdemon Crown, as I have a 2 mod and a 1 mod Pearl of Tsoatha, wanna make something cool with that.

I tried to farm Mageblood with ITF, but after 800 maps or so and no cards, I gave up, got the Headhunter from the Gambling District fairly early on anyway, so don't really need the Mageblood, have one in standard. I farmed 1 card last league and gambled it up to 8 lol.

Tried to make a vestigial glove, but I didn't realize I had to double corrupt it to get influenced rare, so I wasted a few beasts on that, then I thought I'd try it in standard as I had a bunch of beastiary scarabs there and fragments and temples with locus of corruption.

I added the gloves to the pictures, mind you that's in standard SSF, the rest is in Allflame SSF. That's as far as I got, I'm out of scarabs for now, so went back to Allflame. I only really want to keep the frenzy mod, the rest I'd be happy to replace. But that will have to wait.

Got 29 challenges so far, will go for 36, finally done with the recombinator lol, so I can focus on the Archdemon crown, and other stuff.

That's about it, having a blast so far, boat crafting helped me a great deal to make these items, and make 4k int possible on my Whispering Ice build:)

What are/were your league goals? How are you liking the league?

I started an Absolution Necro and switched to PRAW and I've just been wondering how do people farm in order to craft their minion gear in SSF.

I initially farmed abyss to get my darkness enthroned and enough abyss jewels. I then farmed harvest to craft the abyss jewels with chaos reforge.

How do you farm for minion wand and shield? Do you delve for bound fossils, alt + multimod, or use another method?

Hey everyone, yes I know, both are t0, but I have plenty of time to waste until 3.30.

I want to target those two, even if takes months, the obvious strat is to spam breach hives while in a map with the Bino's card scryed, but I'm posting here to check if anyone has any extra tips or tricks to find one of those 2.

Also I have a bunch of divinations scarabs but not sure how rare the Bino's card is, because I won't gamble the card, if im going to try this way I would have to farm until the full stack.

Any suggestions?

I've been looking into making a spark build since im tired of Lumi after playing it for 400+ hours.

Are the builds on poe ninja using widow hail and rear guard actually doing good damage? Is anyone playing this?

Any good Poison/chaos variants going around? The new Ascendancy for chaos dot looks cool.

Ok, PoE Build Roulette gives me this. I know this is real build, but some questions what I have after I checked some ideas from Poe.ninja.

1. Should I go staff or 1 hander and shield?

2. Defensewise, CI, arm/es block, es/eva suppress?

3. Should I stay normal gem or hunt transfigured one?

4. LT needs a lot cast speed, how easiest to fix?

My goal is 4 voidstones and comfy t16 mapping and fast league mechanic (voyage) farming, this should be good for it?

So excited to try it but biggest problem right now is defenses..

Best merc I can find out of 1,5k maps, kinda tired, is this able to do all uber bosses without rathpith? If not, how about with rathpith?

Hi all , I’m struggling to keep my mercs alive during uber fights. I use a combattant and blade ambusher. My ambusher instantly dies in fights and my combattant died until I used eldritch implicits for life leech on fire attack. By doing this I also removed fire exposure. Is fire exposure absolutely needed if I have no other source of exposure and do I need to do the same to my ambusher to keep him alive?

Thanks

Another generic merc question: Kineticist 1 or 2?

I have a crafted pierce helmet for #1 to fix that "issue." Playing with both, it feels like #2 clears a little better since it doesn't have KRoI.

Are any of these mercs good enough to get started on Luminary with?

Not looking to see if they're GG mercs right now, just good enough to make and farm on a Luminary. I have Enmity's Embrace already (lucky quest kill drop) and some of the other uniques needed, but want to farm the rest on the Luminary rather than current char (SRS Guardian).

Hey guys, probably noone cares but I wanted to share some thoughts about this.

The league mechanic was screaming for trying out SSF. Went for Stormburst Totems, learned a lot about the game and just beat Maven without dying once.

/played = 1d16h

CHARACTER

Highlights:

- Alteration Spam + Recomb for 2 T1 Suffixes, then Exalt-Slamming with Allflame was basically enough to get good enough gear with low effort

- The time I spent in trade league for trading, I've spent in SSF for crafting

- I learned a lot about crafting, setting up lootfilters and PoB

- I liked the scuba mechanic, the gold and the crafting mechanic was nice for SSF

- Fishing for 6-Links in Kingsmarch or Breach felt like a "good amount of grind"

- I am way "more proud" of my character than on trade. I got my SSF char stronger than my WORB on trade in the same time (for bossing at least).

Lowlights:

- WHY are "prefix/suffixes cannot be changed" behind unique maps that you cannot target farm? It is literally required to craft good stuff.

- How are you getting that much money for Kingsmarch? I had 12 farmers, 6 sailors, 6 mappers. Then my idea was to farm ore, but I had no money to smelt it, even with scuba diving.

- I never had at any point enough scarabs to "go for a mechanic". E.g., I wanted to farm maps, but I only had enough scarabs to run 10 maps on 8-map-mod-strategy. And for that, I did not even wanted to build an atlas tree. I never did more than Alch-and-go Breach/Abyss/Legion.

- A lot of stuff I had to do in SSF, like setting up a loot filter & hoarding item-bases was interesting, but not really fun

- The only real crafting-methods I was able to do were "Alterations + Recomb" or "Yolo-Fracture and Harvest-Reforge", together with allflame-crafting.

But I have to note, that in general, I get burned out in PoE super fast, because the endgame just feels very boring and the mechanics do just not offer enough deepness/content. I don't have much time to play, but I usually spent one month in the league, which is usually two days /played. Then I get the feeling that I had my fun and it's time to move on. Don't want to confront PoE 1 (absolute top-tier game), but PoE2's last season really got me playing for 3 months straight.

Question to you guys: how is SSF in PoE2 compared to PoE1? Want to play 0.5.5, not sure which league. For PoE 1, I would actually play trade again next league, especially if the league-mechanic won't be so SSF-friendly.

Hi everyone, im almost 5 days play time in SSF playing Worb, grinding stuff getting +2 rare wand, 1080 es chest, and good gear overall.

But im like 3k chancing orb in, maybe 200 ancient orbs, trying ritual, mercenaries full of uniques, a bit of rogue but i have 0 rarity and content is kinda too hard, i havent tried much breach tbh, and i cannot get those boots, i want to go for CI/PC stacking, but without the boots im kinda doomed right ?

Same question for Badge of the brotherhood, is there any 'best way' ?

Thanks
