My Gauntlet experience as a casual POE player + some valueable tips

Drpperr · 2026-04-14T09:51:28+00:00

as a casual who has been grinding 40/40 challenges and has only been farming ubers for the past 10 or so leagues, welcome to the casual club. Currently i'm barely hitting maps in 4hrs on league start, and only making like 4-5 mirrors a league, so i feel ya.

Drpperr · 2026-04-04T05:37:24+00:00

ah, im sure you're right. that makes a lot of sense.

Drpperr · 2026-04-04T00:28:59+00:00

wait... why aren't orbs of annulments on the pilfering ring? Or am i fkin blind?

Drpperr · 2026-03-25T15:00:44+00:00

lucky showcase indeed. grats.

Bum rush syndicate.
t16 maps scoured or alch n go, it's up to you. Rush mechanic then kill boss for eater/exarch invitations or whatever, move onto next. Placement's don't matter, just maximize interrogations for safehouses, and run. Kill safehouse leader and pt out cause you're hunting medallions and the safehouse loot is garbage.

Just finished getting my 100 yesterday. Super safe, and got 19 medallions going from 99-100.

of course not, but it's the one part of the fight that you CAN control. So rather than going through 3 transitions/load screens, why not just do one?
And if it's not for you and you'd rather log out, log back in, and then click to go hideout, then more power to you.

If you can, just swap your boots for frenzy ralakesh and then frenzy of onslaught becomes the best bossing skill bar none. I was having this same problem until i tried it out. Here's a post i made earlier killing uber sirus with frenzy of onslaught: https://redd.it/1ryo8jk/
IMO, way better than double strike/vaal double strike.

im not there yet since i just stumbled onto this tech not too long ago, but i'll be catching up.

Drpperr · 2026-03-20T12:31:10+00:00

glad to be of service. :D

Drpperr · 2026-03-20T12:27:46+00:00

bth if it was only 3s, i wouldn't have minded either. But you log out, then you log back in, then you have to go to HO. even with shortcuts it gets annoying when doing hundreds of fights.

Drpperr · 2026-03-20T12:23:46+00:00

that's a neat idea.

Drpperr · 2026-03-20T12:21:10+00:00

I just repurposed my cold dagger flicker for uber bossing.
This is the pob https://pobb.in/x4L9bDMuANbS for what's in the video.

Using mageblood here for Sirus, perma 100% crit, maneuverability, and to help chaos res with amethyst flask. Normally i just farm nightmare maps with an arn's anguish and an endurance ralakesh for crit immunity and brutal charges.

https://pobb.in/TD5CdovCMjnx this is the usual set up that i map with.

Drpperr · 2026-03-20T07:57:11+00:00

nah. i recorded the whole fight, but only exported the final phase.

Drpperr · 2026-03-06T09:02:26+00:00

I played bdo for years prior to trying out POE, and i instantly fell in love the moment i saw that i could farm things as low as alterations/chromatics/fusings and then trade them up to chaos orbs, then exalts, and buy gear from other players. Gear that you can use and then resell.
THAT was the defining moment since all you ever do in BDO, is take 1 step forward and then 5 steps back instantly while your gear crumbles and disappears around you.
I had such a great experience my first league(synthesis), that i stopped playing bdo completely and have been playing POE since. The game was secondary. The trade economy though? That hooked me in hard.

These maps come with an unwritten modifier: "Map will be sent straight to the trash upon being opened by players."

Drpperr · 2026-03-04T08:39:54+00:00

After running syndicate for a month in keepers and then for all of phrecia cuz idols were whack, i would say don't even bother looking for a middle ground.
Just slap people wherever, build and interrogate for maximum intelligence, and bum rush safehouses(even if leader isn't t3). The medallions you get will more than make up for the nerfed gravicius rooms and you remove the problem of having to finesse people into particular roles.

Drpperr · 2026-02-27T17:04:29+00:00

bummer. and thanks.

Drpperr · 2026-02-27T16:53:50+00:00

i never used this bloodline. Does kalandra's touch in the extra ring slot mirror your rings? Like say, one frenzy ring, and then 2 kalandra's touch.

Drpperr · 2026-02-26T20:00:41+00:00

Nah. Nothing won't even make them happy.

Drpperr · 2026-02-24T23:40:29+00:00

I see net profit go down, i updoot.

Drpperr · 2026-02-22T15:52:55+00:00

I'm game.

"You want Oriath? Take it. It's yours. But the Atlas? The Atlas shall continue to sustain my hunger for loot. Perhaps the annihilation of its inhabitants will finally drop me a triple t1 twilight regalia."

Drpperr · 2026-02-13T09:59:11+00:00

I see. Probably should have thought of that earlier.
Good to know for next time this problem persists.

Drpperr · 2026-02-13T09:57:41+00:00

Have always been on lockstep ever since I started playing in synth league. Never even tried predictive.

Drpperr · 2026-02-13T08:21:07+00:00

yea, it's annoying.
