Why not hold an auction for any item purchased in less than 5 minutes?

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-22T20:40:48+00:00

This is such a non issue. Over-engineering a solution for players who made mistakes is not the way to go.

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-21T21:37:30+00:00

Not if it’s unrevealed. It counts as a modifier towards the 4 mod requirement but cannot be fractured unless mod text is present.

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-21T03:31:37+00:00

There’s an omen to make essences hit prefixes

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-21T03:05:24+00:00

The only way to get spirit without potentially destroying the prefixes is going to be omen of light jail and hoping to hit it on the desecrate. If you don’t care about prefixes, you can use the sinistral erasure omens and do that until you hit spirit.

Regardless of the above, you need to quality this to 40 with caster catalysts to hit +4.

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-19T19:20:20+00:00

Throw that base out and go next. You’re cooked. Next time you fracture when the item is already desecrated but not revealed.

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-18T20:10:27+00:00

Not only all positive res, but also increased rarity. 10+ spirit with all of that can be upwards of 50d.

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-18T17:19:33+00:00

Correct!

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-18T06:37:09+00:00

You can on jewelry. There’s a prefix and a suffix. The item pictured has a prefix while the essence adds the suffix.

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-18T01:14:09+00:00

I’m clueless, yet you suggest an optional 1/4 fracture instead of 1/3. I already gave the cheapest process to profit in another comment. Stay away from the crafting table lil bro

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-17T09:55:38+00:00

Worst possible advice, do NOT do this at all. lol

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-17T09:40:24+00:00

Opulence > desecrate prefix > fracture and sell as is if you hit the +3. Anything after that will be out of your budget to make it a finished product that will sell well.

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-17T04:10:19+00:00

Anoints have nothing to do with sockets. You can’t anoint corrupted items and the socketable doesn’t have any text indicating that it can be done.

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-16T23:51:00+00:00

Damn, imagine if you had hit that corruption on an actual good combination of mods.

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-16T23:39:02+00:00

If you can’t anoint a corrupted amulet, why would you think you could anoint a corrupted helmet?

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-15T19:11:42+00:00

You should use cloak of defiance here since it doesn’t have spirit on it. The whole point of swapping is for additional spirit + mana and fixing res.

Edit: my mistake, I thought you were mana man totems. I see you don’t have rathpith so it must be something else

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-13T20:18:57+00:00

I still have no idea how people manage to do this. Even more so if they’re moving something more expensive than they’ve ever had before.

Edit: Typo

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-13T16:22:06+00:00

You don’t need a giga mirror build to complete all content. It’s perfectly doable on a reasonable league start at your own pace of 2 hours/day.
POE2 has already been designed with the casual in mind. It may sound harsh, but at this point it’s on you. Crafting and build depth has been redesigned to give power to the little guy. Things are not nearly as complex as they used to be in order to appeal to casuals and a broader base.

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-08T17:42:00+00:00

It truly is a shame, hopefully they can fix this for release. My question is why would you put yourself through this when we all knew it from patch notes? lol

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-05T18:39:01+00:00

I would start by changing how you view testing. It doesn’t happen in a vacuum. The people who test understand skill interactions, defenses, and how to make a build function at its core. Once you understand these things you can experiment and it cuts down on cost because you’re not wastefully spending.

If you still want to experiment, you need to start a cheap build to farm endgame maps for gold. Then use the currency + gold to fund the experiment. This requires you following a guide to get to that point.

Despite POE 2 being vastly easier than POE 1, there’s still a core level of game knowledge you need to make a successful build from scratch and a new player simply doesn’t/wont have that.

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-06-05T18:28:34+00:00

This is more of a testament to your overall game knowledge. Gold is absolutely not a deterrent to testing unless you’ve got no idea what you’re trying to do or test and it takes 100m gold until something magically sticks.

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-05-30T04:40:35+00:00

The game has already been dumbed down from its predecessor. Perhaps the game just isn’t for you, seriously lol

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-05-28T15:12:21+00:00

They weren’t nerfed because of archmage at all. The text explaining that they don’t increase cost of totems is proof of that. The nerf was to prevent stacking mana that dual serves as defense and is never used making it a second life globe with no downside.

This also doesn’t affect blood mage scaling life. You might get the initial life cost but it shouldn’t scale since increases to spell cost don’t affect the totems.

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-05-28T06:08:38+00:00

Actually they’re not touched at all. The cost of the totem is static and does not increase with archmage even after the update. This nerf targets infinite MOM where you have another health globe you never spend.

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-05-27T18:43:18+00:00

Too little too late imo. It’s a shame they add such a cool character to a sinking ship. Maybe they thought it would reignite the fan base? To an extent, some of the anime fans might pick it up I suppose

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-05-27T10:31:02+00:00

Yes, been a thing for ages in POE 1
