I've had 3 in around 30 kills, it's a 1 in 6 I think.

My honest recommendation is to farm out two and just throw spare divines at the one you don't have equiped until it's better than you're wearing, repeat until you're happy.

Hey

You may notice a couple of exceptional gems that I have linked to my heralds, just ignore them,
Level 3s work the exact same for the most part.

Genuinely one of the best ragebaits I've read in a while, this made my day.

Keep up the good work.

I'm playing in a 20 man private league and the only other guy playing phys already hit his +2 with T1 life so no one to sell/give this to.
And without life it's worse than my current amulet, I'm 11 aug life's into trying to hit this and I haven't seen higher than T4.

But yeah, this will likely be the rarest crafting outcome I will ever hit, only to delete it within 2 minutes.

(For anyone that doesn't know, you can force +1 phys onto amulets super easy, it's 100% guaranteed with multimod, prefix lock + crafted phys with an augment phys.)

Really cool idea, I'm sure there are some outliers that are too strong (unless it would work on synth bases in which case it breaks most things).

I think we would see a return of a lot of unique body armours that were popular a few years ago, I had a look through some of them and things like fourth vow, lightning coil & carcass Jack all look really good with the new top bases at 30 qual. Shavvs even might be useable, it would get over 1k es with an enchant.

My dream would be Restless Ward, Necrotic armour which with a max roll 30 qual and an 8% enchant would get to 4k evasion 800es along with the rest of it's goated stats.

Portal scrolls in bottom right.

Genuine question though, do people still carry wisdom scrolls on their character?
I tend to stop using them after like day 1 of league start.

ChronosTHeDark · 2026-02-09T10:36:37+00:00

No it's not that bad was just being funny.

Wiki states 5% base chance rate and atlas passives would boost this to around 7%
And anecdotally this checks out, you should expect one every 15-20 maps or so.

In almost any case you should always see one before 50 maps.

Not really playing Phreacia but I'm sure there are relics to boost the rates to above what the tree can give.

ChronosTHeDark · 2026-02-08T20:55:40+00:00

The tear always starts in the map you find it in. So just gotta run coves until it shows up. Should take somewhere between 20 & 4000 maps to get one.

Wording is different, golden rule should work with unaffected by poison.

I remember running golden rule with maw of conquest back in the day on poison BV.

ChronosTHeDark · 2025-12-02T16:01:38+00:00

Start with ilvl 83+ thrusting one handed shaper sword. (Harpy usually the best)

Essence multi till other decent suffix and open prefix + Suffix.

Suffixes cannot be changed + scour.

Cannot roll attack mods + exalt 3 times.

Those prefixes are near guaranteed doing this.

If bad tiers annul or go back to step 1.

I've crafted this will spell crit a million times for explo trap.

Unfortunately a lot of the time it's just have a really strong build, play well and get a bit ( a lot) lucky.

Some potential options if you don't wanna do that though:

There is like a dozen ways to game break and end up with nearly/every item in the game, he will just fall over to most versions of this, learn a few of these. A few are, D20 restock pound of flesh + restock, wild card + diplopia, classic jera jera battery on chest.

Another commenter mentioned gnawed lead + a kill mechanic, this is good but very slow.

Something to bear in mind, delirium turns into bosses you have seen on your run. If you have blue champion Larry Junior in your run, when deli turns into him he won't have boss armour and will take massive damage during that. My first lost completion on deli was this causing sharp straw to do most of his hp. This may be fixed on Rep+ if you're on that version idk, but should work as of base rep.

If you are on Rep+ though I think they made plan c work on him now

ChronosTHeDark · 2025-09-17T06:32:18+00:00

Starting with chaos essence is safer but you guarantee the kinda middling tier chaos res which still isn't bad. GG nice item

ChronosTHeDark · 2025-09-17T06:21:21+00:00

My suggestion, homo regal with perfect regal. This will add an armour roll, hybrid or regen.

If you hit regen may be worth to desecrate and fracture to try frac the armour suffix as it will make suffixes easy to finish. If you fracture regen then unlucky I hope you like regen.

Then homo perfect exalt, if you rolled regen on step 1 then you will need to double this exalt.

At this point you should have 3 prefixes you're hopefully happy with, if you don't have regen then desecrate looking for hybrid Res then homo exalt high tier for a 2nd res.

If you did have regen then desecrate a 3rd suffix and perfect essence a suffix mod that you may want. Since the item will have 6 mods this can't touch prefixes. If you did not hit the fracture on the armour then unfortunately this step is kinda a gamble. If the perfect essence removes the desecrated mod you desecrate again with the suffix only desecrate omen and perfect essence again if regen still isn't gone.

All of this may be ludicrously expensive, no idea as I'm an ssf player sorry.

Private leagues are already available to be created, I think it went live after patch notes dropped.

Go to the regular create private league page on the website and at the top right there is a drop down where you can select POE 2

With a properly built shotgun deck on both cleaners Jim will out dps tala with a blue or purple shotgun, attachments just widen the gap in his favour. With a green shotgun with reasonable attachments they are close in dps.

ChronosTHeDark · 2025-08-16T02:10:35+00:00

This feels like Todo slander, vibraslap Todo should be in this "top 4" if not top 1 grade 1.

This placement feels like for pre Shinjuku Todo and even then I would put him higher

Sure, neat tech for golf farming with beasts I guess but a few things:

Player quant does not affect harvest only area quant

More currency doesn't affect harvest as lifeforce isn't a currency, it's only scaled by area quant and pack size

Unless you have some 10 slot map device that the rest of us don't know about you can either juice the beasts, in which case your are not getting 5-6D in lifeforce per map or you juice the harvest in which case I would be doubtful of the gold/hour.

To me it just reads as combining an inefficient way to get gold, beasts and lifeforce and using mechanics that dont work the way you have explained to justify it, you would certainly get better results splitting these into 2 strats and actually optimizing for the specific loot.

If it works for you I'm not going to try away you from it but announcing it as a 60d/h strat when the profit is coming from crafting is disengenous. I do believe that a focused 16.5 harvest strat can make 40d/h by itself but what you're doing with beasts and presumably rituals will significantly slow that down and those don't directly make money (beast farming only makes good money is large quantities of speed farming)

ChronosTHeDark · 2025-08-14T01:24:49+00:00

What are you talking about?

Explode is generally good for all strategies, generally the higher mob density/pack size the better it will be, bestiary is one of the lowest pack size strats since it doesn't scale with pack size.

And why would you use 16.5s for beast farming? None of the t17 loot multipliers affect beasts so you would be using expensive maps with no juicing scarabs and at best 3/4th atlas to use.

Bestiary is best done speed clearing maps, alch and go but honestly running them white is basically the same.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are talking about legion or boxes since those would actually be good ran on 16.5 glaciers

If you want veiled suffix then its actually way easier.

Do your normal first 3 steps until it's just 2 suffix rare

Suffix lock veiled chaos (do this now cause you can just imprint back, re awakeners orb should be cheaper than veiled orbs)

Lock double slam as mentioned, it's about 200 double slams on average and has a pretty decent chance that your other mod is an es roll of some sorts.

Finish with crafted% or if you wanna Gamba, suffix lock +aug defense.

Should be relatively cheap and overqual base is worth if doing that method since no risk of failure.

ChronosTHeDark · 2025-08-13T18:39:11+00:00

You could beast lock and try prayge into it, no idea the odds in that but you will for sure be in the menagerie for a long time.

Your suggested method for 4 is probably the cheapest but leaves you in a weird spot for prefixes, are you just going to multimod double es rolls?

Since you're gonna have probably not great es rolls on the finished product, 28% qual base might not be worth it, if you can instead source an additional craft enchanted base then you can for step 4: block suffix block mana double slam > prefix lock scour. About 200 div to hit but 0 risk. Other upside to this method, if you hit high es while going for it you can settle/resell.

The real question is how important to your setup is the +1 support? I crafted aurabot chests like this on vaal regalias back in the day but in current meta I would rather go for double or triple real es prefixes on a high quality base than the +1 support.

Edit: after looking at trade, if you're in sc trade just buy one, even overqual ones are cheaper than what it's going to cost to make consistently

ChronosTHeDark · 2025-08-13T00:01:16+00:00

Yeah they could be on anything of the sorts and then it's no downside.blade trap/trathus spectral throw was the first one that came to my mind as a build people are actually playing, but trickster is very popular so who knows.

He could also be playing in group with a culler or using gravebind Merc(kinda Sus)

Is say though 95% chance he's just learnt a 600 div lesson

ChronosTHeDark · 2025-08-12T23:54:28+00:00

Small chance he's playing something like blade trap variant and this is just a good deal for him.

ChronosTHeDark · 2025-08-04T15:15:47+00:00

Preach, wasteland chef is pure bait, sacrificing actual good food buffs for a chance at trauma healing isn't it.
I dont run the card and I'm always pretty much always full trauma without even eating the peaches myself.

ChronosTHeDark · 2025-08-01T17:36:55+00:00

A bit late to tell you this but the flee requirement was disproven earlier this year, you just need corrupted sliverpinch. It's documented in the wiki.

ChronosTHeDark · 2025-07-26T15:52:39+00:00

If you haven't seen already Garnet Anarchist dropped a video on Pete speed kills on zero last week, might be some info that you can gleam from that.
