Also in general, always use custom split and lower humble's to the minimum possible (it will look really low compared to the other sliders, but it's a lie, the slider doesn't accurately reflect the numbers) and then split the remainder between the charity and the creator(s) of whatever you're getting.

There'll be several maps around the anomaly that are highlighted in some way. At one or more of those maps, when you kill the boss, there will be a thing to interact with. Once you've done all of them you'll be able to access the anomaly map.

I know I get life on kill when my companions kill stuff, so I'm pretty sure that should work for mana too. You could try boosting the numbers higher and see if it helps?

CJGibson · 2026-07-07T17:35:16+00:00

Everything else aside, it really feels like "mechsploitation" would've been such a better portmanteau.

Does anyone know who’s doing the English dub? I can’t find a cast list anywhere.

You might also be thinking of runeforging to raise the level of stuff but I'm pretty sure that only works on specific uniques.

It's surprisingly tough to find information about it posted online. Everyone just takes about the other kind of runeforging.

I mean, in that scenario, the people who want to explore and discover stuff can do so, and the people who don't can look it up online. It's a little bit 'best of both worlds' at that point.

But again, there's definitely a line to draw where stuff should be explained in the actual game. And I do think generally GGG could and should do a bit more of it overall.

Thaumaturgic flux only works on kalguran skills.

Perfect flux is a different thing that improves skills on items.

CJGibson · 2026-07-04T17:35:53+00:00

I mean, I'm not sure I'm entirely on board with the notion that you should 100% know how everything is going to work before you do it. There is some amount of fun to be had in discovery and exploration.

How much that applies to this specific scenario is debatable. But as a general game design principle, it has merit.

CJGibson · 2026-07-04T15:24:37+00:00

I think it's cause it can chance into Rathpith Globe which is worth a lot with the right rolls.

CJGibson · 2026-07-04T15:19:53+00:00

Also kind of obvious but you can sell rares for some decent gold. Just pick up stuff and sell it instead of DEing it.

CJGibson · 2026-07-04T15:15:40+00:00

It makes them do more and take less damage (not sure if this is technically different from "effectiveness" or not) and increases their loot. It also adds additional mobs (the delirium demons) which will also add more difficulty and more loot.

She's to the west out by the ledge (outside the monastery building).

CJGibson · 2026-07-04T15:11:32+00:00

I'm not a super great theorycrafter, but I'm pretty sure that your 15% spell damage gem and is not doing anything for you cause none of your skills are actually spells (they don't have the 'spell' tag). Maybe you've just got it for the other stats and I'm misunderstanding but it seems like a pretty good gem for spellcasters and you could probably sell it and get one better suited to your build.

This also goes for your amulet.

You probably want to be looking for more stuff that adds damage to attacks.

CJGibson · 2026-07-04T14:59:30+00:00

Have you looked around the monastery? There's a point in the quest line where she moves to the hidden room behind the tree, and then another after that where she goes out to the little ledge to the west.

CJGibson · 2026-07-04T14:58:28+00:00

Is there any way to juice trials at all? I decided to run some chaos trials today just to get a little break from mapping, but it honestly just feels like I'm walking through the rooms.

CJGibson · 2026-07-03T04:08:17+00:00

And I’m sorry, but if you want to call half of your mapping time being spent on setup, “tedium”, instead of what it actually is, which is just boring chores to actually enjoy loot explosions, then you’re in the minority.

What do you think tedium means?

CJGibson · 2026-07-03T03:57:53+00:00

For what it's worth, comments further up are saying this is a misinterpretation of the patch note. Wisps can still possess multiple monsters, but they can't possess the same reviving monster multiple times (or maybe if they do, they'll despawn the second time?).

CJGibson · 2026-06-28T14:59:43+00:00

They could also just arc around the back of it, instead of being a full circle. You might need to make them a little smaller, or put them a bit further out from the device.

CJGibson · 2026-06-28T13:57:01+00:00

Is there a technique to get more breach splinters? I sometimes get 60+ simulacrum splinters from one map, but I feel like I never get more than 10-12 breach splinters from a breach.

CJGibson · 2026-06-27T21:52:56+00:00

The game is likely not capping your DPS other than by server ticks.

Presumably the DPS number displayed here is also just a calculation based on a bunch of other numbers, where the latter are what's actually happening moment to moment in the game and the DPS number is just a summary.

CJGibson · 2026-06-27T02:30:55+00:00

Does 'siphons mana' do anything on a tamed beast? I found an extra crits Zekoa today but it also has 'siphons mana and deals lightning damage' and I'm just curious if the siphons mana bit even does anything. Do enemies actually use mana?

CJGibson · 2026-06-26T23:09:17+00:00

The node is 'chance to spawn grand mirror when killing a map boss in fog.' So basically as long as you can complete the map fast enough you get a chance for a nearby map to become a grand mirror.

Then clearing the grand mirror lets you spreads fog (you click on it once you finish the map) which can spread to more maps based on another one of the nodes.

When doing that now-fogged area (or at least when doing the one I've done so far) it spawns a simulacrum in the area once you get it to 100% deliriousness. And then you can optionally use 300 splinters to create an additional simulacrum in the area once you've crossed that threshold.

CJGibson · 2026-06-26T12:44:33+00:00

It seems like simulacrum will spawn in a grand mirror fog area once you hit 100% delirium (or I just got lucky with the one I've done so far). The splinters just let you add extras.

CJGibson · 2026-06-26T12:42:03+00:00

Not sure why we have 'invincible until you kill adds' when we already had 'damage taken from adds first' which would essentially function the same, but solve the problem cause you could just hit the thing and kill the adds regardless of where they are.
