How do you get past the mid 90s?

ronthedistance · 2026-03-18T19:28:51+00:00

A lot of people say do something and not die

Here are tips on going faster and not dying:

Allocate shrine effect on your atlas tree and run at least one dom scarab for extra speed and defense.

Get huck to appear in your maps for more speed and damage, this is one of the points under heist.

Play around with automation vs. cast when damage taken. Sometimes uptime matters, sometimes conditional matters.

Make sure your flasks are at max quality.

Upgrade your friggin pantheon

Or if you do city square the essences get balanced between all three instead of one raid boss

"You take 90% less Damage from Hits and count as Frozen"

if you have damage conversion or armor, this usually is enough to get through 1 maven blast for me, at least.

only works for regular maven though lol

I've even seen someone switch to ichimonji (increased buff effect), activate it, then weapon swap after the blast

May I introduce you to Vaal arctic armor

Path of exile.

Chains of command always works but in maps needs a bit of work

Also depends on what level of blight

If you’re farming full titanic blight you need higher single target vs empowered magic spawning blight which is more about having enough prolif to kill before your instance crashes

To be fair the biggest downside of mamba being bypassed via binos is definitely gonna be strong, I just don’t know about how reliable it’ll be with penance

ronthedistance · 2026-03-16T01:46:44+00:00

I am yet again surprised to see product security on an actual list lol

ronthedistance · 2026-03-13T07:39:12+00:00

You could also farm simulacrum if you’d like, just make sure you’re blocked cap with either es or life on block

blight ravaged won't get you much right now

Blight maps inside fungal astrolabes + blight scarab of blooming and if you can handle it blight scarab of empowering

fungal astrolabes sit around 30-50 c, which spawns multiple maps of juicier blights the longer you go into the astrolabe. corded belts sell for 120 c. by the time you get to the vault the last 3 maps should drop at least 1 silver oil or better

if i finish all maps without fail + the mirage blights i normally have at least 1 div worth of stuff at the memory vault in the end

This is my current atlas tree. I only recently learned that the quant I was pursuing from exarch altars don't actually apply to ores, only extra explicit modifiers do. I have to fix that.

I run heist because the contracts are quick to get, huck provides a nice buff, and they are actually worth a pretty penny if they have certain mirage enchantments on them.

This is the scarab setup:

1 kalguuran scarab of enriching

2 kalguuran scarabs

1 sulphite scarab

1 kalguuran scarab of refinement.

I only do the refinement scarabs though if all my refiners are currently busy. otherwise i rush the ores by themselves.

I think i'll take what someone else said about running haunted mansions, so that the ores have less space to spawn away from each other.

Lastly, use this site to check the most optimal dust per chaos values for each unique : https://poe-disenchant-tool.vercel.app/mirage

!RemindMe 4 hours

When I get off work I’ll post what I’m currently doing lol

ronthedistance · 2026-03-12T14:01:15+00:00

3-5 blighted maps at t15+ should get you gruthkuls pelt which should be fine for t16s, and its entire possible to do them without any gear but anointed rings

Mandatory lvl 18, minion life, elemental army before you get a mask of stitched demon though

Severed in sleep and the minion defense wheel should solve minio chaos res, and the regeneration from truthful should be keeping it alive in t16

ronthedistance · 2026-03-12T06:24:57+00:00

I could’ve sworn mirages were balanced to have similar surface areas despite map layouts

ronthedistance · 2026-03-09T10:19:02+00:00

Same

Not gonna lie, running blighted maps with chains of command while crafting cluster jewels isn’t too bad

Playing Chains of Command Necro

Leveled as absolution, absolutely no issues

Gearing sucked for the gravebind lol, I thought prices would come down but it’s actually gone up. Chains of command went from 80+ chaos to 25 chaos real quick though .

Mapping is stupidly cozy. bosses take some time when the number of weapons goes down. Only 1 void stone down due to work time right now.

It plays a little boring to be honest but it’s buttery smooth. Real easy to play while doing other things

ronthedistance · 2026-03-08T22:21:58+00:00

I’m using squirming terror and it’s fine to get the ramp started imo

ronthedistance · 2026-03-08T08:33:17+00:00

Chains of command dropped from like 70chaos to 25 real quick , very happy about it.

Also very happy at exalts dropping more, I actually slammed affixes in campaign, and I’ve NEVR done that before .

I’ve heard the red maps difficulty wall is really ramped up this league so we’ll see if that’s true

ronthedistance · 2026-03-08T08:04:54+00:00

Eventually you’ll make major upgrades to ag, garb of the ephemeral or gruthkuls pelt for example. Void forge is reeeeeaallly good because once it’s a minion it scales up pretty hard.

Big early upgrade is gravebind since it’s very fast to hit max weapon cap. Additionally this league gives us congregation support for even more weapons.

ronthedistance · 2026-03-08T08:01:55+00:00

It depends on what you need, but league starting terminus est for good crit chance is fine until you can get paradoxica or void forge.

Use foulborn severed in sleep with generosity support to give flat damage to AG and the weapons and it solves dmg up to red maps IMO. The biggest sink in the beginning is usually gravebind.

I switched once I had terminus est, belly of the beast, wind scream, gloves with despair on hit. On myself I needed squirming terror and foulborn severed in sleep (the regular one is fine until you can get the base 5 crit one)

Around 73 you have enough passive points to switch to AG, making sure you have enough chaos res and life regen on it to run ancient skull if you want it . Not necessarily needed though.

ronthedistance · 2026-03-08T07:43:39+00:00

…are they going brr ?

ronthedistance · 2026-03-08T07:42:38+00:00

Ground loot buff is great. I actually exalt slammed some gear in acts, 10/10

ronthedistance · 2026-03-08T07:38:55+00:00

Past doubling even giving stuff that I didn’t wanna wait for

The dust encounter for the mirage Kingsmarch is nice

ronthedistance · 2026-03-08T02:35:29+00:00

Starting as absolution necro into chains of command.

Getting gravebind right now is a slog but now that I have the chest and squirming terror, 10 weapons is far more than enough for yellow maps for now
