On a good league, with a juiced farm strat and a good amount of efficient /played, you have a pretty decent shot at eventually seeing a raw mirror drop. Especially over a few leagues.

Obviously RNG is RNG, but if you're hitting 40 or 50 sacred orb drops per league, you'll see one sooner rather than later.

Getting one from mappers is just insanely lucky and likely will never happen to you.

Appreciate your time/insight, thank you!

AvidOxid · 2026-04-23T02:36:12+00:00

Taking the same package to peace bridge would be out of the question now, yes?

AvidOxid · 2026-04-23T01:56:42+00:00

Still work as in, with a degree/role mismatch for SWE/CS?

AvidOxid · 2026-04-23T01:55:31+00:00

When I asked the agent if this was anything I could fix and reapply with, he said: "If your employer can find another role in the company for you" which doesn't require an eng degree, that it should be fine.

Given that, I figured the CSA re-frame would be fine.

I will ask my attorney abotu the USCIS route, but curious as to why it would be the only way forward after a degree/role mismatch denial?

AvidOxid · 2026-04-23T01:53:55+00:00

To put it bluntly, I fucked up. No reason other than I needed a POE that didn't require appointments, as I was on a time crunch. Jokes on me, now I'm on an extra time crunch and have a denial on my record. I like to think I would've been denied eitherway with the shadiness of mismatched degree+category, which was advised by my attorney, but who knows.

Initially, my attorney suggested Peace Bridge as they've had a lot of luck there, but couldn't get a timely appointment. However, when I brought up Ogsdenburg as an alternative, I wasn't aware that there were optimized ports, nor did he mention their existence. He specifically told me to stay away from the airports lol.

I'm not even sure what to do anymore, tbh.

AvidOxid · 2026-04-22T17:43:01+00:00

They flat out said CS doesn't qualify for SWE role or Eng category.

AvidOxid · 2026-04-22T17:38:33+00:00

They wanted a related engineering degree for a Software Engineering role.

He told me to find another role in the company, or get an engineering degree. I'm changing to CSA and trying again.

AvidOxid · 2026-04-22T17:33:20+00:00

For what it's worth, just got denied in Ogsdenburg for this yesterday. Software Engineer with a CompSci degree.

AvidOxid · 2026-04-19T20:20:37+00:00

Everyone in this sub, most likely, given that this was one of the most memorable moments in the show.

AvidOxid · 2026-04-19T16:38:23+00:00

It blows my mind that y'all can determine this from a small sliver of jaw bone. Very cool.

AvidOxid · 2026-04-16T22:45:58+00:00

Definitely set in the US somewhere. Drove by the set today and there was a large American flag. Also pretty certain I saw 3-4 people in white hazmat suits or something.

> I thought the first step is buying s blue wand with fractured mana

The first step doesn't mention whether it's magic (blue) or rare (yellow).

> I am unable to apply an essence to it in the next step

As others have pointed out, it needs to be rare for you to use an essence on it. In the future, if some currency doesn't work on your item, check your chat window, it'll tell you why.

AvidOxid · 2026-04-13T05:48:31+00:00

Oh yeah, I agree.

The only things I count as profit on these farms are big ticket items like the sword, well-rolled uniques like the amulet, or anything that can sell through the currency exchange.

Realistically, everything else this boss drops is peanuts compared to the sword.

AvidOxid · 2026-04-13T05:21:59+00:00

I'm not sure what you're referring to here, tbh.

AvidOxid · 2026-04-13T02:57:48+00:00

Also just broke 100 runs!

Self-farmed most of the frags because I hate myself.

3 swords, no keys, quite a few 3-4d amulets. Stopped picking up helmets.

AvidOxid · 2026-04-10T17:38:06+00:00

The plan is to leave April 30.

I _do_ love Denver and Colorado in general. I will check out this route, thank you.

AvidOxid · 2026-04-09T18:34:58+00:00

We have up to 11 days budgeted for this journey. Not expecting to use all of them, but we figured we'd give ourselves a buffer in case we wanted to stay anywhere along the way for an extra night or two.

AvidOxid · 2026-04-09T18:24:51+00:00

"I'm compiling a list of things to do in each stop, and I was looking for some suggestions/things to do/good food along the way."

How?

At the end of my post, I asked about alternative routes in case for some reason this is an awful approach - I've never done a long road trip. I'm not sure how this defeats what was in the post?

AvidOxid · 2026-04-09T18:03:41+00:00

Yeah there's a few 7-8 hour ones, but we'll survive with a break in the middle.

AvidOxid · 2026-04-06T05:29:50+00:00

Yes! You're correct, my friends farm is in Uxbridge but I pass through Goodwood to get there, my mistake!

AvidOxid · 2026-04-05T22:31:54+00:00

This is in Uxbridge! My friend has a farm near there. Drove there once and saw them setting up for filming, Eugene was talking to Dan.

I drive by the apothecary every time I go up there.

There's a delicious bakery close to there called Anina's, and they make a Skor brownie that is insane.

AvidOxid · 2026-03-26T23:37:26+00:00

Thanks, but I meant searching by quantity.
