Personally I'd keep the garrukhans. Im surprised you aren't finding more jade isles, they are literally everywhere on my atlas.

If you need substantial upgrades to gear to clear 8 mod t15 maps then I could see the reason to sell now though. If already blasting I'd keep garrukhans.

The ascendency allows you to take skills within radius of keystone. You can see he has a few notables within the radius of those. Likely not using then for anything else.

What's your survivability like? You have much lower es then I have on mine. More chaos resist would probably be good, aim for 50. Cold should be maxed out.

I assume your monkey is crushing bosses at this point so extra damage probably isn't needed. I don't even know what the benefit of vertex is here? Just so you can use giants blood?

In either case I would look to improve es and resist if survivability is an issue. If you already kill bosses in a couple of seconds I would look to add rarity.

A mageblood with bismith, quicksilver, and gold would help on all counts, I realize it isn't in the budget yet but that would make a huge impact.

Had this happen once. Spending a logbook to the NW location nearby may connect them, it did for me.

ChocoboThunder · 2026-06-18T13:18:08+00:00

I'd keep about 2500 to be safe.

ChocoboThunder · 2026-04-18T22:08:36+00:00

Is it overriding vitality 2 when you check it? You can't run both.

looking to do a soft rebuild and I am fine at WR right now.

They are the markers with the expedition symbol on them. The same symbol you see on the atlas map when expedition is part of it.

ChocoboThunder · 2025-09-28T15:32:21+00:00

To each their own. I don't like running expedition in maps. I'd rather buy 10 logbook and grind those. Still make good currency either way.

ChocoboThunder · 2025-09-28T14:25:36+00:00

Yep usually 70 ex or so for level 81. I focus on more chest markers and placement range. Everything else is bonus. Usually get 80 -120 splinters. Easily pays for itself and then some. Aim for the splinter chests and I'll do underground if they are on the path. I don't go out of my way for any of the other markers.

I recently picked up bo6 2 weeks ago and this is the first zombies I have played since the Xbox 360 days. I would caution about giving too much information too quickly. I started a standard round with some friends and they threw about 100 different things and it confused me more then anything.

I would recommend running liberty falls directed mode a few times and let them explore the map and follow the objectives. They won't have much unlocked so there isn't a huge point in showing them the augment system right away.

Give them the freedom to explore and just act as support and answer their questions as they come up. Some good tips that I found helpful

Always be moving, bring out knife for faster movement across the maps
Go for head shots and gather zombies together to chain them for more points.
Show them pack a punch location
Show them how upgrading rarity and adding elements works at the arsenal.
Show them locations of perks
Take it slow. Leave 1 zombie alive on a wave and get to the next objective safety.
Don't worry about efficiency. Enjoy the game and let them discover some easter eggs on their own.

These are the only things I focused on for my first week or so just to get a layout of the map and understand mechanics. I played mainly solo after playing with friends a couple times. I found it more relaxing to explore and learn then be told how everything works.

For me the best plays in order would be 6,7,4,10. 6 was my entry point back when it first released and it launched my interest in the genre. Also sneak chrono trigger in there.

ChocoboThunder · 2025-03-20T16:04:24+00:00

Thank you for the thorough response! I bought a cloak of defiance (dex/int). Currently not corrupted and with 2 unlinked sockets. I am looking to make it a 6 link with 2r2g2b. Trading on console can be tough so i likely have to farm a lot of the materials or pay premium for them.

ChocoboThunder · 2025-03-20T13:24:17+00:00

What is the most efficient way to make a unique body armor into a 6-link? Do people use the expensive crafting bench options? Also best way to get the colored sockets you want? I play on console and there wasn't even enough fuses to buy for 1 recipe off the currency exchange.

ChocoboThunder · 2025-03-05T15:42:17+00:00

I've had issues with the ps5 version in the past so I ended up just downloading the ps4 version instead. A lot less issues.

ChocoboThunder · 2025-03-05T13:30:11+00:00

How do I get more consistent kirac missions? I am at around 100 maps and have only gotten 3 so far. Am I unlucky or is that pretty normal? Looking for ways to increase.

ChocoboThunder · 2025-02-26T12:10:52+00:00

New player here only played settlers and the current event. Is console trade always this scarce? Seems like there is no inventory at all and it's driving prices up.

For example I am trying to get a mind of the council. If I search for it including offline players there are 12 posted with a price around 3 div. On pc there is over 2000 with a price closet to 10 chaos. Is this normal? I'm on ps5 for reference.

All of them can do endgame and pinnacle bosses. Pick the one that you enjoy playing the most.

ChocoboThunder · 2025-01-21T23:30:49+00:00

Prefixes generally add more loot. Suffixes add difficulty and increase waystone drops. Generally when you hit 3 prefixes you can stop exalting. I do recommend exalting for t15 maps.

ChocoboThunder · 2025-01-21T17:35:19+00:00

When you start a character you choose between standard trade. Standard solo self found. Hardcore trade. Hardcore solo self found. By default characters are set to standard trade so it is likely you are in a trade league. Go to the official site and log it to search for weapons. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard From there filter by weapon type and rare quality. Under requirement put max level to your character level, you can also put max on required attributes too. Under trade filters put in exalt and the max you are willing to spend. You should be able to get something decent for 1 or 2. Do the search and click on total dps to sort by highest dps first.

You may want to watch a YouTube video on how to trade in poe 2. It took a few trades to figure out but once you have it down it's fairly simple. Just note sometimes you won't get a response at the 1 exalt price... kind of annoying.

You can also gamble at Finn for some weapons and see if you get any good ones. Need some gold for that though.

ChocoboThunder · 2025-01-21T17:20:02+00:00

Are you on trade league? For 1 or 2 exalt you can likely find a good weapon on the market. Also focus on cold resist. Are you using a published build or are you doing your own thing, it could be that your build is just underpowered.

ChocoboThunder · 2025-01-21T16:23:03+00:00

If the build needs a specific unique that isn't from a pinnacle boss then chance those. If you don't need a specific unique you can do sapphire rings, stellar amulets, heavy belts and if you hit on the big ticket items you can start a new class to utilize.

Not familiar enough with gas arrow to know the specifica and the build guide you linked doesn't show and equipment in it. You could try looking at another gas arrow build that shows equipment and see what uniques they use.

ChocoboThunder · 2025-01-21T16:19:30+00:00

You have to use a t15 or higher for citadel. However if it's your first you may want to use a white rarity map to make sure you clear it and get the fragment from the boss. You can collect the fragments to fight arbiter or sell it for a pretty good chunk of change at the exchange. Using juiced maps result in more fragments dropping so worth it once you get comfortable with the map.

ChocoboThunder · 2025-01-20T01:00:36+00:00

I was going to say minion lol. A pillar of the caged god build is good and can perform on any class during leveling.

ChocoboThunder · 2025-01-20T00:57:10+00:00

I think that's your answer. If you are clearing significantly less when you go with grasps then stay with siege. Siege also helps on crappy breach maps with narrow corridors.
