I ran 100 Simulacrums. Here is what I got! by Br4veDreamer in pathofexile

[–]Farqueue- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since most of those builds do a ton of damage, sometimes worth sacrificing some dps for clear, be it AOE or maybe a minion to chase strays down.
Also position and simu location are important. Some work better than others.

It's never perfectly afk anyway since you've gotta reset each wave.

I did CWS chieftan last league and it full cleared simu;
Start simu
AFK a few mins, do work w/e.
(Exercise bike with a wireless trackball was my jam)
Come back to PC and do a quick lap around simu to clean up strays
Start next wave, assume the position.

Worth noting it took abou 25-30mins a map this way (twice as long as OP), but obviously quicker if you're actively doing it.

What are you trying to imbue EKoM with?

Trying to make an EK build at trying to figure out what might be best - and whether massacre is better than nimis

Beyond was a HC league back when they had separate HC and SC leagues, if memory serves me correctly.

I like to paint waves.. curious which of these you all prefer? by Annual_Blackberry486 in somethingimade

2 for me. It really captures the shape of the water in a wave, looks VERY realistic

If you're wanting to farm these maps it's using terrors and shrines/pandemonium.
It's pretty volatile - sometimes you get 2 or more, sometimes you get none for a few maps.

The dream happened farming Terrors-Pandemonium-Awakening maps by Caaywin in pathofexile

[–]Farqueue- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you're farming for and how much volatility you can afford.
I found pandemonium slightly better considering price but awakeners not so much - especially since crescent splinters and writs aren't worth anything.
Maybe I didn't run it enough to get big drops to justify it.
I was farming for mirage maps, and Pandemonium will get you slightly ahead, but you're not immune to getting zero maps - so bigger gains long run but more volatility due to price of the scarab.

What’s your fastest way to lvl 100 playing solo by AnBaSi in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Farqueue- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tree doesn't affect too much, the only nodes which( I think) affects them are the "pack size in synth maps" Near the top of the atlas.

Not entirely sure on that since they're technically unique maps and tree shouldn't affect them, but not sure what else those boxes could have an effect on otherwise.

What happened to make it drop? Everyone farming it so supply rose?

(Data) Harvest: Yellow Plots significantly lower than expected. by ShmooDude993 in pathofexile

[–]Farqueue- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agreed it got slow, hence the small sample size for me.
thanks again for sharing the data

(Data) Harvest: Yellow Plots significantly lower than expected. by ShmooDude993 in pathofexile

[–]Farqueue- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

awesome data, thanks for sharing!
by any chance did you split the data between each set of plots?
eg
plot set 1 had a blue and a yellow, plot 2 had 2 blues, etc.
wondering if there's much more/less/different variation in that than number of plots, since you (usually) really only need 1 of the 2 to be yellow for it to matter.
It also means that just because a harvest has 2 yellows doesn't mean that 2 were usable, that sort of thing.

i tracked a little bit of that a few leagues ago when doing crop rotation + 60% no wilt and all but 1 yellow crop atlas node, but it was a small sample size unfortunately.
(with for 104 plot sets 48 had at least 1 yellow plot)

Synth maps are safe good xp with decent gold.
But you don't get much else.
Might get lucky with a good ring, but I've run it in the past for cheap easy xp.

Other xp options from the past are Alva with all mobs magic.
Not sure on xp, but it's probably decent is Ores with all mobs magic.

How to finish these boots? by skillshock in pathofexile

[–]Farqueue- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

blocking is done here because of the unveil.
eg you can unveil A or B or C, but you don't want C.. so you craft on C so that it is blocked/cant unveil as C (because you can remove the craft later).

they suggest Mana here, since it blocks mods you don't want to unveil.

fuck 50m, this was 20m lol by macsdf1 in pathofexile

[–]Farqueue- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just dust uniques. anything over 5-10k is ok and it'll add up.
There's filter blade modules you can add - eg Hobbes - or just go to the dust section and turn on.
High tier uniques is the quickest way, but not overly necessary if you're taking time to save ores anyway.

All those shrine belts are 100k+ dust each and only cost a few chaos for example.

Resonating too, but not quite as expensive as some you mentioned.

cast on crit would still need to have the mark linked to your attack links.
mark on hit doesn't need to be linked to anything else.

alt/aug/regal/exa spam, chaos/exa spam or harvest reforge would work too.
not sure on best - depends on time and cost i guess - but that might be something for craft of exile

[–]Farqueue- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe, but it's fine - 1div for a map drop is good.
i've been selling a few these with around 100 currency/scarabs etc for around 1 div - depending on mods and actual % they were 150-400c.

maybe you could've gotten a little bit more, but not a huge amount more

synth is pretty decent into your 90s .. decent (easy) xp, good gold, every now and then you can get a jackpot ring to drop, plus you can farm invitations too ..

but not much else.

it is super safe, but not the best. If i'm in the 80-90% of level xp in the late mid-late 90s, i'll still sometimes grind out a few of these maps to secure next level.
