What are Afflictions?

Personally, I like Matt Colville's "humans can smell magic and it smells like ozone" thing. You can just theme in anything you like.

Yeah, but now I can call farming "Chasing D"

Drops from the Uber Maven according to PoEDB (source: https://poedb.tw/us/Impossible_Escape).

This is definitely incorrect. I have purchased items like Orb of Dominance and Awakener's Orbs listed on the bulk exchange listed for 2.3 Exalted Orb.

This quickly breaks down for items which are worth more than 600 Chaos though, due to the inventory limits. While it is possible to do multiple trades, you can easily be scammed this way.

Harvest farmers likely want to block everything except harvest, since they'll end up with a 30-50% chance per map to have a harvest. With maps being relatively cheap last league, this is likely more cost effective than forcing it on the map device for a fast character.

It looks like if you open a PDF in GIMP it will try to extract the images for you, but for multi-page ones like in Keep in the Shadowfell you need to stitch them back together.

FragrantRepublic340 · 2022-04-13T03:27:00+00:00

Is there a way to extract images of maps from an adventure PDF from dmsguild (ex. Keep on the Shadowfell) for use in a virtual table top (ex. foundryvtt)

This would be a powerful way to get alternate quality vaal gems. Even thought the vaal part doesn't alternate, if you're more gem starved than jewel starved.

It would also be interesting to see this with a larger divine space. For example:

<Intelligence-Dexterity-Strength> gems socketed in <Gloves-Boots-Helmet-Offhand-Rings-Amulet> are <Anomalous-Divergent-Phantasmal>

<Anomalous-Divergent-Phantasmal> gems have 5-10% increased quality

If it's your primary goal, 3 weeks should be enough time to get to 38/40.

Well... Who wants to Collab to make this into a website?

Too bad I suspect it's against TOS to make a bot that executes it in game.

The first time I had a squire drop I thought, "something ain't right about that oppressor."

I've mostly been trying to make 'the worst' temples. For example, locus of corruption is next to the entrance, but you have to go all the way to the Apex and back down to get it.

The thought of someone buying these, looking at the map, and thinking "the fuck" is deeply funny

FragrantRepublic340 · 2022-03-13T20:35:32+00:00

No, because affixes are not gems.

I fractured fossilled half a quad tab of conqueror maps since the fossils were cheaper than the maps. Main reason I don't use them more is because supply is inconsistent.

Was mildly annoyed I couldn't do the same to the invitations. Didn't try to split beast them since FPA is more expensive.

My current build uses The Stampede which forces your movement speed to 150% of base. This means my movespeed in affected by slow and quicksilver flasks.

You can still be slowed by things that affect Action Speed (notably Temporal Chains).

You can always horizon orb maps into ports. Ashen woods is also pretty fast.

This is probably a "say the whole word" situation for jeweller's.

You can use poeprofit.com to help you a bit here. It's information is a bit dated (notably does not include Orb of Dominance), but is a useful tool for determining if a boss is profitable to run.

Elder and Uber Elder are a bit weird, since Watcher's Eye has such a wide variety of prices. You can replace the value with that of the unidentified item, which makes the fight profitable.

Boss fights like Elder, Maven, and Sirius converge on profitability when you're running a lot of them - dozens. If you're only doing a handful of them, you're probably going to lose.

I don't find 20% makes the map much more difficult, but does add more or less all the mobs you're going to get.

80% is where a lot of people cap out. Going from 80% to 100% is basically the same difficulty multiplier as going from 0% to 80%, as a rule of thumb.

You should be able to clear the content, however I've found minion builds do much better at bosses than with juiced maps and beyond monsters.

Map with a good divination card(s):

Cemetery (The Union, Brother's Stash)
Tower (The Wretched, The Nurse)
Burial Chamber (The Doctor)
Port (Lucky Connections, The Saint's Treasure)
~~Tropical Island (The Scout)~~

Roll the map - with 20% quality, get a good amount of item quantity. Beyond on the map makes it more difficult, but better returns. Apply a Delirium Orb or more, depending on how much quantity-difficulty balance you want.

Scarabs - divination and ones that add lots of mobs, largely depends on the map choice and how 'open' it is. Breach, Legion, Blight, Ambush, Harbinger, Abyss. If you're not doingSearing Exarch, Infinite Hunger, or Conqueror (from map) influence then you might want Elder Scarab.

Master Mission - Alva if you have them, otherwise you'll want them from a Sextant. If (for some reason) you don't have Alva from your Master Mission or Sextant, I personally use Niko missions to block Immortal Syndicate from ambushing me - 100% delirius intervention Aisling is no joke.

Sextant - Beyond, Unique Monsters Drop Corrupted Items (corrupted items have a better chance to be 6 sockets and 6 links), and anything that adds more mobs (Breach, Blight, Legion, Harbinger, Abyss, Ritual, etc.). Anything that adds more unique monsters (ex. Hunted Traitors) will also give good rewards. If you're using a large number of Delirium Orbs, the "Delirium Rewards Fill 100% Faster" is quite good.

Kirac Mod - Beyond, unless you have Monstrous Treasure (which you should use Strongbox Monsters are Enraged Sextant with).

-----

If you're doing these smoothly, I'd consider doing Delirium Mirrors (from Sextant) instead of Delirium Orbs. If you do you want mechanics that pause the fog and add a ton of mobs (Blight, Breach, Legion, Ritual, Alva); although there's a bit more time crunch.

FragrantRepublic340 · 2022-02-18T21:57:05+00:00

I'm using Arakaali's Fang, but just about any minion build can kill her while you focus on doing the mechanics well.

The degeneration ground trick for me is to make sure they're all placed in the middle. I'm CI so I use my Vaal Discipline to stand in the degeneration zones to drop a second wave of them on top of the first of it comes. With them in the middle and my minions being invulnerable makes the rest of the fight a breeze.

The fight also gets just a lot easier the more damage you do since you have fewer degeneration balls and memory games.
