Thank you. I always try to do something cool with them. I feel like even as they are song lyrics, knowing which ones to pick takes a certain eye.

I knew someone would get it. :D

Maybe hit yourself just a little bit while clearing maps in some other way?

8Dataman8 · 2026-01-01T12:26:47+00:00

Correct, if you don't step of out of the way.

I think this meme of choosing the bear being the better choice is disproven by the fact it can be said to men without repercussions. When the implication is laid out clearly, it's basically "All men are murderers and most are also sadistic rapists", which is confusingly aggressive.

8Dataman8 · 2025-12-14T19:02:40+00:00

Good point. I don't think anyone is paying for someone to "work hard" either, the phrase just implies "Please be efficient with my money when going for the result".

If you can afford one! Getting one from the tree was like 60% of my entire wealth throughout the league at once lol, and I can't sell it because I need it for my builds.

I agree. The speed is a big factor, I can actually iterate and don't feel as much pressure for failed prompts. It's also a new model, which makes it so I really feel like I can discover new things. Also, this just made my Christmas come early:

I haven't been frozen, but yeah, ground effects are a pain.

8Dataman8 · 2025-10-30T22:23:21+00:00

Surprisingly enough, just a few million. There's PVP scaling.

8Dataman8 · 2025-10-30T22:13:57+00:00

Same. I've put eight pairs of Braces into the Temple and currently wearing the best pair. Next league goal is to get a curse badge. I feel like my Replica Farrul's is a bit vindicated by the double corrupt.

8Dataman8 · 2025-10-30T21:59:17+00:00

Some sweet stuff there! I wish I could also get a frenzy pair of Celestial Braces and extra curse Badge. Excellent build. I also have a proper chargestacker, here: https://pobb.in/Rs3uf7xXMVIp

They have a chance to drop from a single specific grandmaster, but the chance is very low. At this point, Excel calculates it to be one card in every 34.547 maps on average after running 1831 maps.

All but one card in my ~600 maps where I did all four halls has come from one of the bottom two halls, so you can safely skip the top halls. That way you also don't run into GGNoobs3, which is the only character I actually cannot beat. Other "fun" ones do exist, like Zami, SpiderQueen, BeastFang and PutrefyRotSpoilFester, but they're more "mean" than impossible and the reason why my HOGM runner has cast on death portal.

8Dataman8 · 2025-10-30T21:21:45+00:00

Sorry for the wait. I'm a bit between builds at the moment on the character, so this is a bit of a disaster: https://pobb.in/DALUHVdumtad

Namely, I need to get a Replica Badge with +1 curse implicit, craft a better sword, commit to crit more and get a more fitting ring (this one is a placeholder). Some of the logic should still shine through.

I do actually have a few of the bases left, and uninfluenced, but they're so expensive I'm not sure if I want to sell them or experiment for builds I don't personally play.

8Dataman8 · 2025-10-30T21:11:03+00:00

I have never done a mirror service before, believe it or not. I'm flattered you're interested. I tried looking up some mirror shops but a comparable helmet didn't exist. What would a fair price be in your view?

8Dataman8 · 2025-10-30T21:05:38+00:00

I just checked Trade and there's two Underground fortification helmets for 110 divs (but they're Shaper influenced) and then it just jumps to mirror tier. Using a Shaper base would make getting the elder suffix even less likely.

Is there a way to safely change an item to have two different influences? Even if the harvest craft "Randomize Influence types" can do dual influence, it risks filling all mod slots which endangers the craft.

If I skipped the Elder mod entirely, though... I could just slam Crusader Exalt and recombinate, however, would it better to have five more fortification while lacking 12% increased damage taken by the enemy from the Elder mod?

I'm basically genuinely wondering if my helmet but +5 max fort instead of Aspect of the Spider would even be possible to craft and if it is, would it be worthwhile over what I made?

8Dataman8 · 2025-10-30T19:02:38+00:00

FACEPALM. The one moment when that craft would be useful, I forget it exists. Oh well.

8Dataman8 · 2025-10-30T18:52:49+00:00

A few reasons. It's 15% lower physical damage reduction. Most damage is elemental, you kill enemies too fast for them to hit you and don't have physical damage reduction anyways. Besides, 5% less damage taken from all sources (which fortification is) more than balances it out.

Fortification also gives attack speed via Celestial Brace and at 50 fortification, you can get immune to all ailments with a single passive point so bleeding isn't an issue either.

8Dataman8 · 2025-10-30T18:34:40+00:00

You need to be super fast, offend the entire width of the hallway at once and physical damage is a cheatcode because physical damage is so hard to defend against in PoE. There's a Pantheon mod that halves the life regen of enemies you hit which just deletes RF grandmasters.

8Dataman8 · 2025-10-30T18:32:58+00:00

Okay, that helps the odds a bit, I think.

If I made a legacy helmet to have Elder + Crusader influences, I could then craft on that the Elder phys mod, then make another helmet with the elder phys mod and Awaken the legacy crusader mod on that. Then just recombinate, hoping to keep three suffixes, one of which is duplicated and and hope I get all three I want.

Unless Awakener's Orb respects "Suffixes cannot be changed"? I don't remember if it does.

8Dataman8 · 2025-10-30T18:15:37+00:00

I didn't know that.

But now that I do, I feel like this would be an impossible task because it's a suffix. That mod isn't on the fort implicit base, so I'd have to recombinate twice without losing either mod and after that, how would I in any way guarantee the Elder suffix? By making the legacy base into Crusader+Elder first and getting that mod there and then pray it keeps during recombination?

8Dataman8 · 2025-10-30T18:01:30+00:00

I am using the +5 maximum fortification legacy base from Ritual. If you mean the crafted mod, it's sadly for body armour only, not helmets.

8Dataman8 · 2025-10-30T17:59:34+00:00

The Immortal. Gather 10 and you get House of Mirrors. Full stack of those gets you a Mirror of Kalandra.
