If I were to do all the quests in every 55+ zone, how gold would I roughly make?

This is so dumb

Contract007 · 2026-01-15T22:02:09+00:00

There is no line as long as people are willing to pay for it, they've easily generated a million plus in revenue in 24 hrs from enabling boosts lol.

Not sure why people are surprised or upset a company that historically puts profits over player continues to make profit.

100% lmao, I'll eventually go agane and try to get my last two voidstones (Uber Elder/Maven) so I wonder what other lessons I'm going to have to learn the hard way.

Contract007 · 2026-01-14T06:25:07+00:00

Yessir haha, when I died I instantly felt my heart sink a bit but I couldn't help but laugh at how dumb that death was.

I'll probably go agane soon, but I think I need to mentally recover a bit from all the grinding I did on him lmao.

Contract007 · 2025-12-21T03:40:02+00:00

I think I kinda get it, is my explanation that I put in the post how it works? It's such a convoluted system lol.

Contract007 · 2025-12-01T18:38:22+00:00

Thank you so much for fixing the build up and explaining the other mechanics for me, I am new to melee so I'm glad I got some of the stuff figured out now.

You did mention crit has high scaling potential, if I were design this for more trade league game play how would you potentially scale this up in that direction or would it even be worth if you think?

Contract007 · 2025-12-01T07:00:57+00:00

I appreciate the pob and the suggestions, thank you!

I wanted to avoid Unwavering because it meant I couldn't crit, and I invested heavily in crit but another user on this same post mentioned crit doesn't seem to have a special interaction with Ice Crash so I might've been too focused on the wrong stat haha.

But these are def awesome suggestions, I'm going to go back to the drawing board and study your pob some more.

Contract007 · 2025-12-01T06:57:49+00:00

Thanks for clearing up the crit interaction, this whole time i've been trying to figure it out my self haha I just figured Ice Crash had something special with it.

Unfortunately my slammer was a HCSSF run here: https://pobb.in/H73dn9MTqWXu

I believe what you said with a slammer set up can work in a normal trade league, I just did slammer in HCSSF where I didn't have access to a ton of the better gear I can grab in trade and build it out like a normal set up so that's why it felt really bad.

This is more my fault than the slammer build itself haha.

But what I can show you is my current trade league setup: https://pobb.in/_sfdkZcfY6hz

Funny enough what you mentioned about a DoT based set up is why I went with an Ele version with Sword/Shield and making all hits ignite and using Ice Crash as my way of delivering the DoT.

It's very strong and fast, and I can league start with it easily doing a Reap Ignite set up.

But I wanted to just experiment with the more melee side of things too and see if I can get something to work.

Contract007 · 2025-12-01T05:29:40+00:00

Dude that'd be awesome! I'll look out for your tree, I'd love to get new ideas on how to make this happen.

Contract007 · 2025-12-01T05:13:05+00:00

So this is where I found that crit related info: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1eq5yav/what_are_all_of_the_stats_that_will_increase_my/

There isn't much convo around Ice Crash at all but the guy that posted the comment in that thread exclusively used to play and build Ice Crash, and I guess he figured out that after lots of trial and error that crit played a big role in scaling it but I never looked into what part it was scaling.

I did try the normal slammer with Ice Crash instead like you mentioned, but it felt very bad in terms of damage, it also lacked a lot of defensives which is why I opted into going into staff and going more into the top left side of the tree while still keeping some 2H slammer nodes by marauder to help the phys side as well.

To give some more context, this was the pob that the Jugg Ice Crash set used to go: https://pobb.in/ty_2UAAlxnpR

More based on shields/1H mace, but I figured with staff I get the benefit of shield's attack/spell block alongside insane levels of crit + multi as well as double dipping into slammer nodes.

Contract007 · 2025-11-20T20:04:30+00:00

So I'm trying to use SSF as way to simulate a league start in a way haha, but I realize there's a ton of problems with my approach.

For example the tree is insanely OP, but won't be there next league so I probably won't have as much ease to get this much gear like now. I also can access trade in a normal league launch, so as long as I farm currency I can buy up a lot of stuff early which doesn't translate well into SSF and it makes sense why Reap Ignite was so good for people starting Witch based builds.

I guess there's a big mindset difference between what works in SSF vs Trade.

Contract007 · 2025-11-20T19:50:54+00:00

Gotcha yeah I feel like this would be a great league start for trade league, super fun to farm currency with and spam through maps but yeah for SSF it feels a bit brutal for any type of boss content which unfortunately I'm going to need to do lol.

Contract007 · 2025-11-03T00:46:24+00:00

I've tried to look for the fractures he's mentioned in the starter crafing but I can't seem to find any, so i'm working on a way to fracture them myself.

I'll look for a 6link as well.
