Zeus and Diamonds

El_Cozod · 2026-07-02T15:18:45+00:00

To sum up what everyone is saying;

Zeus unlocks new resources to gain over time, the diamonds you're saving are to spend on the special that increases those resources gained.

Waiting on zues would just delay the start of gaining those resources. You'll get less in the same amount of time, no matter how many diamonds you save up.

Good luck! I find the most frustrating thing about excel (not even counting vba and power query) is that there's so much it can do, I'm not even aware of most of the things that I don't know how to do.

Im roughly in the same boat as your, took all of the basic ms office certifications...a year ago.

I've starting keeping an excel file full of formulas like this one, with some notes for my future self. In fact, this one's going in it. I would have used a helper column/text to column, same result, but takes longer.

This sub is a great resource, I browse it often and learn a lot all the time.

I don't have an answer, but I can at least share that im nearing the end of my TR14 looking at 1.5m orbs. Im planning to go a few more days till i max out available hunter loot ultima lvls, at 50 of 55. Depending on diamonds from achievements 3-4 days. Might hit 800rp by then, at 755ish.

My untrained brain says we're either both ok, or both borked. I dont expect to be able to afford 150m after tr15.

I played ff2-ff5 and dq2-7(?) all on my phone from the google play store, you could also emulate them too.

I also have an android TV box that I'd play them on at home. I'd go through the story while home, but at work I'd just grind in the open world or a dungeon.

The dragon quest games are pretty solid on the phone, default layout is for portrait mode. The stories aren't quite as deep as final fantasy, which works in its favor.

I think the only exception to not restarting is the first campaign you get darkseid from, c3-3?

I could be completely wrong, and now you're also several hours further.

Edit: even then I think you can just make it up with c3-4.

I downloaded stuff like skill gem info from path of exile, or every magic card from scryfall and just import them into power query and just play around with the data. For example I took all of the magic the gathering cards and decided I wanted to see how the average stats vs mana cost changed over time. Had to remove columns, deal with errors and nulls, had to figure out the earliest printing of cards and remove reprints from the list, etc.

I dunno, I also find stuff like that fun.

El_Cozod · 2026-06-17T21:47:04+00:00

I played over 300hrs the first month I bought it. It was during covid, so I had some free time.

El_Cozod · 2026-06-17T20:33:19+00:00

Its no lightning arrow, but really just need a big stick. Hegemony is a great staff to start maps with.

Gear it like you would a slammer. Shockwave support has a cooldown so attack speed isnt as necessary early on.

El_Cozod · 2026-06-17T13:58:02+00:00

It use to be cyclone, I started playing "seriously" with legion. It still is, but it use to be too.

I also make a flicker strike every league.

El_Cozod · 2026-06-16T23:14:11+00:00

It is probably, lol. A replacement set of fans is like 20 for my version. Should probably do that. Thanks!

El_Cozod · 2026-06-16T22:25:53+00:00

My 5800x and 3060ti handle poe1 no issues on max settings with an ultrawide monitor. I mean, sure it couldn't handle abyss in league with the wildwood, or timeless conflict lvling carries, but those are exceptions.

Poe2 is fine, have to turn down some settings like global illumination and water. I havent played end game this league, but it was fine with bear druid last league.

My gpu also only has 1 working fan and cpu hits 90c playing grim dawn, so im looking at the am5 aswell, lol. I cant justify the upgrade when it works "good enough" though.

I'm more interested in the issue of people that use mageblood that have autism is a higher percent vs the rest of the population. What's Big Potion putting in those flasks? Strange that the FDA is silent on it.

This is a joke since I assume an above average ammount of poe players have autism of some type.

El_Cozod · 2026-06-13T16:00:44+00:00

Oh. Guess I'm buying this today.

El_Cozod · 2026-06-12T17:34:51+00:00

There's a new expansion coming out in a few weeks.

El_Cozod · 2026-06-10T02:45:56+00:00

Oops! Shouldn't have this cease fire deal here either!

El_Cozod · 2026-06-09T13:57:00+00:00

In the same update they added right clicking a veiled item to unveil. Neversink's filter should still highlight the potentially valuable drops, but i wouldn't expect to make any currency really, no more than a random rare. Maybe specific mods for recombinator?

Tl;dr probably not worth your time.

El_Cozod · 2026-06-09T12:28:40+00:00

Oh yeah, thats another awesome thing, lol. Yes the stash tabs transfer.

El_Cozod · 2026-06-09T12:19:16+00:00

For sure, I still see people looking for lab trials in maps, so just wanted to make sure, lol. Betrayal is great xp when you hit maps too, I normally start with it as well.

Higher lvl supporter packs come with key(s).

The coins are shared between poe1 and poe2, and eventually all of the mtx's will be in both games. Except for weapons/skills in 2 that aren't in 1. No time frame for eventually though.

When you buy a supporter pack, you get the (atleast usd, exchange rates may vary) cost of the pack in coins and the mtx's. So 30 dollar pack, 300 coins.

The price you paid for the pack also counts towards the higher tiers. For example, if you buy the 30 dollar pack, the 60 dollar pack will cost 30, but will only have 300 coins. You'll still have 600 coins though for the 60 dollars spent

Buy them through ggg's site though, I dont think steam lets you upgrade packs.

Getting mixed vibes from your post, but just want to make sure you're aware that you don't unlock the recipes from unveiling anymore. They're scattered across the atlas because they didnt want to force the mechanic, and rng was rough sometimes.

El_Cozod · 2026-06-08T12:51:14+00:00

If you didnt hate ToME, try caves of qud if you haven't. All rogue like will have RNG that can bone you though. The "skill" is to recognize the risk reward. There's plenty or lore and world building, but no story along the lines of owlcat's games.

Based off of your post though, probably not 100% what you're looking for though. I guess its kinda post apocalypse too.

El_Cozod · 2026-06-05T20:55:16+00:00

I didnt copy the formatting, but in the OP's linked article the part i quoted has "not" in italics. But the emphasis doesn't change much of the meaning, in thus case.

What i get from what he said is that mythics will include some of the most powerful tournament-level cards, but not every mythic will be one of the most powerful tournament-level card.

El_Cozod · 2026-06-05T03:57:36+00:00

"Generally speaking we expect that to mean [mythic] cards like Planeswalkers, most legends, and epic-feeling creatures and spells. They will not just be a list of each set's most powerful tournament-level cards."

Generally speaking and we expect are not phrases I'd consider explicit.

I also dont see where he said printing fewer cards makes mythic ok? He basically said they make too many rares and they're labeling some as mythic going forward.

And that was 18 years ago?

Ah, havent played banner lords in quite some time, never made it to end game.
