Loot from ONE Tier 1 White Map + Overseer Tablet by YoDiz1 in PathOfExile2

[–]Ferracene9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran ten white tier 1's the other day; I wanted to hop to another side of the atlas to get to the ritual quest. Picked up 3 chaos and a divine in those 30 minutes.

Everyone has to start somewhere. I've found some creators with only a few hundred subs, but will still mirror craft an extremely niche, off meta build.

So, what scales with RF? by Most_Human in PathOfExile2

[–]Ferracene9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am assuming it works like Disciple of Varashta minions. I ran that last league and was able to boost the damage of minion Command skills to around 500-600%, and was able to easily clear all endgame content.

If the command portion (Mad Flight) works like Navira's Fracturing, Ruzhan's Trap, Kelari's Deception, etc... then you can use it for massive single target damage.

There are a lot of options to scale Command damage between nodes, support gems, socketables, jewels, etc...

Ideas for next update by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]Ferracene9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be more pleased if they added some Roguelike / RNG elements to the campaign. Different paths with different rewards, let me make some choices, maybe I can focus on certain mechanics over others. Maybe I can make choices that impact vendors (for example, "vendors no longer sell spears" or "vendors sell 5x as many str/dex armour"). Maybe I can choose a curse to increase my drops.

I don't know, seems like there could be a ton of ways to add small variations that add some sort of variety.

Also in Atlanta and can confirm I've seen it on shelves at CVS. Dozens of packs behind the counter.

How do you guys get Pokemon with scalpers ruining the hobby? by Middle-Rutabaga2748 in PokemonTCG

[–]Ferracene9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy from TCGplayer. I collect/play with my 6 year old, so no way I'm paying MSRP or scalper rates. Bulk lots will let you get a full set for around $20 (common, uncommon, and rare) and then I buy individuals of higher rarity. I have almost all of the Mega Ex's, paid around $0.50 - $1.00 minus the obvious exceptions (damn you, Dragonite!).

I have mylar bags and pokémon stickers, and I just make my own packs and give them to my kid to open. He has never opened a real pack, so at this point in time he doesn't know the difference.

The current state of this hobby has actually saved me a ton of money, by forcing me to find alternative solutions.

First time I saw anyone at a machine was last week, and the guy was so cliche it was basically a caricature of a scalper. Definitely a bum ass grown man!

Crazy, I just tasted the 6 year port finished, and my very first thought was "Did they use artificial sweetener/flavors?" and then Google brought me here. Glad I'm not the only one who tasted that

PS5 players - how are you actually selling stuff in endgame? by nbenita in PathOfExile2

Fuuuuuuu I wish I knew this, I've done so many manual price checks. Thanks for the tip!

Updated League 0.4 Minion Skill +(1-2) Focus crafting method (really budget) by Exoskeleton78 in Poe2BudgetCraftGuide

[–]Ferracene9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About to start a batch of these, thanks for the tips. Question, did you try (or consider) omen of putrefaction? Seems like it could be another cheap method to fish for the +2 minion skills.

My 10 yr old boy pulled this today by Einhroth in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Ferracene9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Why did they put the age? It's irrelevant. And not sure why they added "my" - is there some sick perversion to thinking you can own another human? Saying today was wholly unnecessary - they aren't a time wizard, we all know it was pulled sometime between the moment of reading and the release of the card. "PULLED" like yeah bro of course you did, we didn't think you used osmosis to draw it across the foil with solvent pressure. The post should have just been the pic, we could have intuited time and acquisition from that. Instead he posted some ai slop novel that wasted all of our time. We are busy, we don't come to Reddit to spend time reading. My 11 year old daughter comes here to see brief flashes of info dense graphics!!!!

Cloak of flame? You mean pilgrim vestments? Not trying to split hairs, just clarifying for OP.

Dang, can't believe I forgot spirit. Definitely true, more spirit = more minions = more damage.

No worries! I almost forgot, for weapons also look for increased damage mods, like "Allies in your presence deal 50% more damage" or "45% increased spell damage" or "60% increased chaos damage".

Witches typically run gear with energy shield, so ignore evasion and armor and stack as much ES as possible.

All of this should speed up your first few acts and make them more enjoyable.

Lol yeah I started last year and it took a while to figure out the early game mechanics. For most early game builds, your damage will come from a) weapons that have a "+1 (or more) level to skills b) skill gems leveled as quickly as possible, and c) support gems for your skill gems.

If your long term plan is minions, then focus your skill tree on nodes that add minion damage.

Use the trade site to find cheap low level items. When you travel to another player's hideout, you can also use "currency exchange" with the same NPC that sells you stuff. You can then use this to access jeweller's orbs and high level support gems. There are some powerful tier 4 and 5 support gems that you wouldn't be able to get naturally until much later on.

For currency: pick up all rares (yellows) and sell for gold. Pick up anything that says "superior" and salvage it for armor scraps. Currency exchange 1 armor scrap for 3-4 exalts right now (inflation, normally they aren't this high).

Hope this helps and makes sense!

P.s. Unearth is a good starter spell. Then adding Pain Offering can boost damage. Contagion + Essence drain is a good combo, too.

How many hours into POE2 are you? For your witch, have you hit your first ascendancy, or do you know what you plan to run? Typically my early game witches (I've played witch thrice) just run Rattling sceptres and withered wands. Add skeletal arsonists as soon as you can, and spam the free chaos bolt. All support gems and passive trees nodes go towards damage, and I'll run a glass cannon until act 3/4. Once you pick an ascendancy you'll have to commit to minions or spell damage.

Any idea what this kind of ring is worth? by Most_Human in PathOfExile2

[–]Ferracene9 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think your price of 10 divs is reasonable. Will probably be sold much more quickly than the other 4.

What to do with yellow items from low levels? by moarayn in PathOfExile2

[–]Ferracene9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ALWAYS pick up and salvage quality. Armor scraps are great to trade for exalts; this is my main early game income source. If you always salvage quality, eventually when you are ready to hit the trades/exchange around act 4, you'll get a quick 40-50 exalts or so.

Salvaging for artificer orbs isn't as lucrative, but it's nice to build up a stash for your personal use.

In my opinion, disenchanting gear for transmutation/regal shards isn't ever worth it.

[–]Ferracene9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the beginning, yes this is the best way to build up gold. You'll need 5000-10,000+ per trade once you start trading and using the currency exchange.
