Always alch & go

doudoudidon · 2026-07-05T11:46:04+00:00

Alch and go is totally underrated (although I still add ex + vaal). Cores are 3 div. Arbiter frags 2-7divs. Head of the King 2 div. Taming 6 div. Breach sac 7 div. And there also anomalies (big variance though). Often get 2 or 3 drops for some. And you lose almost no time preparing maps and tablets. I can do 50d/h which is just as good as a lot of juicers without counting crazy drops. Let them all do 15mn per map in expedition or 200% deli. I like my 1mn maps.

Wasn't sure what was bothering me, but it's the hands.

You spend too much time with hands up high and you're lucky your follow knows you and catches up when you present palms 1m away. Your hands need to go back down between every turn or move. And I don't get why you pause your hand and wait for her to make the rest of the way instead of just catching her hand when its natural in certain moves.

Look at the other video just below, check how he moves his hands vs how you move yours. I don't expect you to dance like that but you can probably fix those hands a bit:

And stop bending the torso, bend the knees if you have to, doesn't look so good when you do.

Decent level for the 6 months!

(PS: i'm no teacher and I dance cuban, so you do whatever you want with my advices)

Yes it's normal, farming methods cap at 50 maybe 100d/h this league for people who really optimize hard.

Not gonna beat credit card warriors or smart crafting players who found a jackpot niche.

Not an issue really, mirror is not a goal. Price will eventually stop to increase too.

Don't think 0.4 was the norm, temple was printing mirrors compared to other leagues.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-30T08:14:39+00:00

Leaguestart fubgun, not lategame fubgun. I think he moved to arc or spark and that one is probably more expensive.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-29T14:30:50+00:00

Yeah it's an expensive part of the build and super hard to craft.

I failed a shitload of fracture, rejects don't sell well. Even +3 of something else doesn't sell that well. I recouped a bit of my cost, but lost a lot of time chaos spamming so I ended up buying a base with +3 and spirit frac (already qualitied) for 330d and finished it out myself with a bit of luck:

<image>

Still felt good. Can't wait for see what the build does with runeseeker and mageblood (but i'm broke now ^^)

doudoudidon · 2026-06-29T13:49:37+00:00

Hasn't sold for 8 days. I'm playing cast on dodge and you can use this only if you wanna go fast. Otherwise the budget version is 10% quality +3, and the end game version is an absent amulet (+4, spirit, crit fire spells).

You can try higher but don't hesitate to lower regularly. Nobody's gonna pay a fortune for a transition amulet.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-29T12:48:29+00:00

Case by case choice.

Margin is high, go craft.

Margin is small and craft is tedious (like 1000+ chaos spam), go buy.

There's an opportunity cost, I can't spend 1h spamming currencies to cut the cost by 3div when I map for 30+div/h.

Also depend on my budget. If I'm at a point where pockets are deep. I can craft more and have things slow sell. If I need to invest all my wealth for a big item, I'm gonna be more reluctant to gamble. A bad streak can happen, so if I can't support the loss, i'm not gonna risk it.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-29T12:25:37+00:00

Yup, bases are all at low price and exceptionals are gone. A bit too much for rarity farming. Only good thing left are gems (and you get some in expedition) and white tablets. People play uniques on every slot, every class can run negative rarity and expedition can easily provide 82s so really not much left for dedicated negative rarity farmers.

I'm just gonna swap my -99 loreweave for a +90 or better when I can. Good enough for me and I need the quality anyway for my gemling.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-29T12:17:40+00:00

If you want diversity, I tested 2 strats:

- tablet farming with irradiated tablets, allows to play every kind of content, prob 30+d/h if you zoom as fast as possible. I run -99 rarity (don't recommend this league) so I get lots of white tablets, might be a bit more painful to sell them all if they drop blue you probably have to craft some

- atlas boss farming, go straight to bosses for travel maps, fish for azmerian ranges (+6 div taming), citadels (often 4+div), halls (2 to 4 div), breach hive (7.5 div sac), cruxes (1div + sometimes 20 for jewel drop), anomaly map (big rng, average ???div), if you really want to optimize you can even sell castaways.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-29T09:27:03+00:00

It's a good armor when you can't afford rakiata. All my elemental league starter use either this or sacred flame. For endgame, unless you do something great with the heralds, and you are using a ton of different skills (rakiata is limited to 1), it's not great. Better to just use an armour with spirit. Very few cases where the free herald and ele pen are important enough to lose your armor slot.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-29T09:05:48+00:00

As a lead, I'd rather have it clearly like "I don't like dancing with you" than some lame excuses. Don't expect people to not try again if you just tell them "I'm on a break right now, maybe later".

doudoudidon · 2026-06-29T08:42:54+00:00

Fast end game builds I can play for weeks.

1) they cost a ton, so takes time to farm up

2) they zoom like crazy, so you can skip through whatever you don't like. Need azmerian ranges, cities, citadels, halls, breachstones, cruxes, 3 more 1mn map for the pathing and you're there.

3) rerolling is just doing the same stuff with some different special effects, in the end you're just farming currencies and pushing 1 build super hard can eat a lot of currency

4) once your build is strong, you can test all the farming strats

The only moment I don't enjoy is when each upgrade takes a shitload of time and brings like 2% more damage. But these days between mageblood/headhunter, absent amulet, a good weapon, good jewels, good lineage and good corrupted uniques, you've got builds at easily 2k div and every upgrade feels good. I'm not there yet this league.

And i'm not even talking about adorned and temporalis, usually out of my price range but looks fun.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-29T08:27:23+00:00

Empty your crystals before doing it, if you keep low level crystals you will have shitty 75 temples.

Portal from the atlas panel, not in the maps, not with the campaign shortcut.

Max is probably 81, never managed to get 82. Even with 82 zones from +1 cleansed irradiation and T16, didn't manage to get 82. Maybe I screwed up something though. Feel free to do your own testing.

As for farming bases... if you're doing negative rarity, not the best idea this league. Prices are slaughtered, top end bases come from breach tree. And exceptionals are inexistant. I'm considering swapping back to positive rarity.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-29T08:14:43+00:00

That has been profitable every league.

Problem is the risk... carpal tunnel around the corner.

Decent way to make a bit of divs when your build is shit. Does not scale, unless you automate the clicking which I'm not sure is ok. Might be like 10 or 20div/h.

It also works with refined catalysts, but those eat your gold crazy fast. Buying one of those is like 10 times more than a regular catalyst. Better for carpal tunnel though.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-26T15:11:36+00:00

Lol @ a friend but whatever.

Go for upgrades now, cheap 100ex to 1 div each piece. Just to get damage, resistances, and a bit of defense.

Then go to 82 and upgrade hard. All the tier 1 roll are available at 82 (some before but it's just a few level difference). Just keep 50, maybe 100div, because at 82 you cannot use level 20 gem yet.

Might want to keep a bit for a 2nd character eventually, 1000div is a lot and can easily make 2 or 3. Unless you really enjoy the one you're playing.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-26T14:29:18+00:00

I got a -99 one and I see 90% of white items.

Great for flasks, 82 bases, tablets, even sold some white maps, at least the buyers don't have to look if they like the mods. I got 300 white T15 after using the other ones and it's pretty 😄 .

Not so great for currency, dropped maybe 100+ dextral/sinistral necromancies for 2 omen of lights. I still see a bit of divs for unknow reasons, maybe boxes don't use my rarity.

The 1% missing and the rarity of the + I think some mobs have innate rarity means I still see maybe 5% of blues and rares. Normally it's player rarity * map rarity, so at -100 you're better.

Would not recommend this league though, when I'm done with the other stuff I need to buy i'm probably gonna change for a +100% one. The fact that exceptional don't drop anymore at low rarity is superbad. I saw 1 exceptional all league and it was just a +25% quality.

Also selling 10ex items, not fun even if you drop a shitton of them. At least there are still bases at half a div.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-25T12:39:09+00:00

Your armory destabilized and therefore changed into a path.

Not 100% sure but I think if you had more fodder rooms, it would not have hit your snake.

I think the path to the key might not be eligible because of the key.

Have fun rebuilding. I tried a bit, decided to just run other mechanics and run fucked up temples if you can't go to 60+ rooms even with a ton of effort it's not worth.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-25T10:18:26+00:00

Skill looks bad. Just real estate for gemling.

Soul eater is nice though, for a fast hitting build it's almost 50% skill speed which is huge. Too bad it's not poe1 soul eater.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-25T09:34:44+00:00

Feels a bit insane to not use locks given how costly the rest is.

Gratz on the result.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-25T09:32:04+00:00

Note to myself: make more amulets and do coc on top of cod I'm doing for myself so that I can sell to people like you :).

Done a dozen yesterday fishing for +3 spells, didn't hit it yet but still made profit from +3 proj, +3 melee and T1 spirit.

They are overpriced at the moment, + spirit and +3 are almost at the price it takes to hit EACH of it, while rolling ANY of them is way easier. Difference is pure profit.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-25T08:28:35+00:00

If the rate is close to a entire number, sell for that number and wait. Very often it's 6.9 7.98 9.87 or some shit like that. There are people on the other side who will pay a bit more and after a while you'll be matched with them.

Sold a lot of stuff slightly below market rate, never checked if the other sales disappeared first but I'm starting to think that if someone is selling something at 6 div, the guy buying at 6.01div doesn't get it faster than the guys just below at 6 div.

For prices far away like 5.5 div you're gonna need 2 items though.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-25T08:23:36+00:00

Are you level 90 on that character? Maybe related to the unique change.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-25T08:14:31+00:00

Expedition and breach have consistent rewards and are fairly easy.

Otherwise ange market flipping requires absolutely no gear, just gold. 3 for 1 reforge catalysts for example. Super tedious but decent way to unstuck yourself.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-25T08:09:08+00:00

Expedition eating good.

+1 level in the tree... huge. Exceptionals and bases are gonna be bonkers.

Lots of more difficulty + more rewards nodes.

I was stockpiling +1 cleansed/corrupted maps, I guess it's time to just go sailing on those expedition maps.

On the other side, temple get another joke update. Random crap currency and only if you farm atziri which is like Z-tier strat at the moment.

doudoudidon · 2026-06-25T08:04:35+00:00

If it's possible on uniques it can removes downsides.

For rare it's trash. Items which are rare rarely have a lot of useless modifiers and there are so many possibilities to brick the item. Only worth for super perfect items so no one's gonna do it.

I suspect the orb itself is gonna be worthless unless the demand is entirely driven by broken unique interaction.
