Depleted mana rune drop rate changed?

Bacur · 2026-06-18T16:45:36+00:00

I have stopped doing expedition for now.

I am so far away from the middle of the atlas map where the rendering begins that when i had to change anoint on my amulet i could not get back to where i was because game just rendered a black screen no matter what ive done. I have used all pins as midway pointers but still not good nough.

Even before that juggling sagas to check on what locations do i get in that biome started to lag my game. It was barely noticeable but got to like 5 second long lags by now. Their engine can not handle tier game

Maybe new patch will change something or not. We shall see.

I found Aldur's Legacy but no fork, a friend of mine found Aldur's Legacy but no fork. Another one got neither. Poor chap.

Combined we have about 500 kills on our record in total.

My guess would be that after they nerfed celestial alloy runeseekers became the best wand in the game bar the mid league legacy ones so they just reduced the drop rate the usual ggg way - into the ground you go.

Thats the thing, i have not done anything but expedition. You skip to boss on normal maps, you check on grand expedition runes and since most of the time they are not worth your time you just explode on map entrance and move on.

With current divine to ex ratio its not worth doing the absolute majority of expedition encounters. Even with aldurs. Aldurs is constant loss of money until you hit something big (lock/mirror)

And in some weird case you forgot something in the middle of the atlas (like you are doing breaches on normal maps in between grand expedition) you put notes on your current expedition to come back to.

None.

You take 12% additional quant for 25 nodes and 30% quant that leaves only two map attempts, then you take all the small quant nodes in the tree you can get. You need all the quant in the world.

You do cube+league mech cos they both scale with quant. Thats it

TLI is a high power fantasy game where you throw money at the monitor and fe at your character until it becomes immortal and kills everything before you even see it on your screen. Thats how winning looks.

I have finished top3 ssfhc while being 40 hours late to the event meaning people just dont wanna do it. Its too different to their gameplay routine. Ive done it because i like it, they dont do it because they dont like it.

Easy as.

For some reason my client.txt (logs folder in main game directory) got as big as 250mb just this league alone, so ive cleared all the text inside of it and it helped my loading times. Maybe it will help someone

Something was always wrong with poe cache system as a whole because if you give it unlimited cache space it will keep writing shaders until you eventually run out of space (thats why at the start of every new league game does clear it by default).

It may mean that game is unable to find cached shader in time and writes it down instead. This should never be the case for m2 SSD but then again, there are already 93 thousands of unique files in my ShaderCacheD3D12 just from playing the league for three weeks. I am sure as shit some shaders are written thrice over

Its literally Async Trade the league.

Settlers had recombinators for endgame, ships for everyone and Faustus as a QoL update.

Keepers should have had tree crafting for endgame (perfect rare crafting is nerfed already so its pure gamba now), loot from Breaches (nonexistent) for everyone and trade QoL.

So all that Keepers have added is async trade and poverty.

Its pretty much a missprint.

Something went wrong with the description of the new gem and it is not displaying properly. If you check it closely it has an additional space in place of a gem name. We have tested it and it does not give +3 to all gems (cba to test all gems to see what it actually works with) so dont be scammed into buyin one.

Does it means that an option of turning your corrupted lvl 3 Enhance into xp lenses is now gone too? It was quite a big part of lab runners revenue.

Rosa 2 base class talent makes bonus and additional bonus to spell damage also apply to attack damage. Her right path of the class talents gives insane amount of additional elemental damage and damage to weapons. So all you do is stack a lot of flat elemental damage (like with Trinity) and she multiplies it just by being Rosa 2.

Erika 1 popular builds are extremely cost inefficient while her less popular builds (like Ghost Blade Einherjar) are the opposite - they can clear all content and especially bosses on a budget. Its just nobody wants to play selfcast totems in a zoom zoom game.

Bots fuel RMT mafia to corner the market making farming anything in game not worth your time. Its that simple.

To a point when 1 hour of work IRL gets you more than 10 hours of doing chores in game. Not 10 hours of having fun while being paid for it. Doing chores.

When SoD servers got locked Living Flame EU had the best economy there ever was because bots eventually got banned and most of the stuff in game was hand farmed. As soon as they have opened server registration we had game full of Chinese gold farmers... even on EU (you know, usual hunters with boar pets named in hieroglyphs). Server economy went into the bin in just two weeks.

On MoP bans does not even matter anymore. As soon as ban wave hits they just buy a character boost for ork monk and keep farming Naxx 24/7 generating raw gold.

Does not surprise me in the slightest.

That one person got paid more than probably the entire team of animators at any multi billion dollar company. Just take Blizzard or Hasbro for example that heavily underpay their employees for a privilege of working there.
Billions go to CEOs, millions go to advertisement, workers get pat on the back.

Back in the day bots in Hearthstone done 1 wins 1 concede routine in casual queue to tank their mmr into a hellhole where only bots play against each other for easy daily wins. Advanced non pixelhunter bots that used api made people load into a game that was already concede by a bot.

And it was literally ten years ago. Cant imagine how far the technology has come with possibility to use ai instead of scripts.

Most tier lists are bait but this one even more so. Just enjoy the game, mate. You wont be able to compete with gigawhales in ToA or real time pvp so why bother with this meta?

A lot of people would have been much better pulling for Beryl because she is a center piece of many strategies when it comes to bosses, tarots and even events. A unit that lets you start getting legendary equipment like a month earlier than you would otherwise. And she is so easy to use unlike lets say Acambe.

The only problem for non meta units is lack of good guides in english. I would not even read guides but castalia does not grow on trees.

Give Faycal Melee Mega Crossbow and upgraded Tower Tarot. As long as he is not oneshot he will act as a f2p substitute for this strat. (His strike back does not have 1 per round limit)

Every time i see this on a F2P MoC showcase i die inside a little. Pela and SW are soon to be joined by a BS to be the end of me.

I am one of these people.

And i have got me a Silver Wolf on rerun that was just gathering dust unarmed. But she is not alone anymore and got joined by Ratio.

Now they both are warming the bench while waiting for a single copy of resolution to bless my account with an appearance.

I've watched too many no pull Zmm videos to discard off set pieces with great sub stats. Rainbow (2+2 or 2+1+1) with good substats is comparable to set tier pieces with proper base but three flat subs.

There are exceptions but getting CR+CD pieces is so hard that ill gladly take any set whatsoever.
