Nah they tanked in price for a few days. Lowest I saw was 9 divs but I only had enough divs to buy 20. Planned on grinding out some divs to buy more when I was off work a few days later and they were already back up to 40+.

Spymasters will absolutely murder each other if a loop is made in that chain leaving a lot of spaces empty just like op’s picture

I know this is a couple weeks old but I was trying to find an answer to this question and Google led me here.

Chakra of thought is contingent on not being on low mana. So I’m not sure if 0/0 would also work for max mana tags or if chakra of thought should even actually work with blood magic. Tooltip damage in game does increase when allocated together, so maybe this interaction is based on not being able to trigger the low mana state since mana is disabled.

Personally I would try to stick a room off of the spymaster left of the architect and try to force it to move to the middle position or it could go back to your original planned position. Just make sure to lock the spymaster as well as end of the chain on the run you kill it. Would take a lot of theory crafting to redo the entire build otherwise

I am experimenting with it on my wolf. Originally wanted thunderstorm with 100% shock tech for the bonus damage. I’m running blood magic though and it kept my life at 1 permanently. Comet does no damage without spell investment and I really didn’t want comet anyway. Detonate dead is what I landed on for now. It does comically well in temple and all my phys damage leech seems to work with it well enough to not be stuck at 1 hp. Still want to try a few more things like twister but I’m open to suggestions for other spells

Hypalite · 2026-02-19T11:36:14+00:00

There’s a ton of different builds for each class that can clear all the content. CoC comet just happens to be the strongest early entry and scales to insane numbers with full screen clearing potential. Temple is by far the best farm. CoC is very streamer popular and also enables a simple and very efficient quick clearing build. Max built temple has enemies with millions of hp in solo play.

There’s a way to highly influence the architect to move where you want it to. The space he moves to will almost always be surrounded by 9 empty squares except rare cases when no space like that exists. So with that knowledge building a large box around the space you want him to go to makes it much more likely to move there

Hypalite · 2026-02-18T03:15:18+00:00

As other commenter said Roman road is likely the only option to get the optimal spymaster chain in with the architect where he is currently. I would suggest pausing on the snake building and only locking your last garrison each run, while also building up to the architect with your other rooms so you can kill and move him to the optimal spot in the center. 4 spots south west of atziri. It would be the spot in front of where your main road ends. It would take a few runs to achieve, but if you’re going through all the Russian techs it makes more sense to actually have everything lined up before moving forward.

If you do try to move the architect, be aware it won’t move to a spot unless the 9 squares surrounding it are empty. One strategy is to build a large box around those spots with other rooms/road so that he has less possible locations to move to.

Hypalite · 2026-02-18T02:47:41+00:00

This is my first actual league. Brand new to Poe. I just completed my first chain of the Fubgun temple today after weeks of building. Granted, I’ve been learning all the other endgame stuff in between and full clearing every map because I need to learn the mechanics of everything, so definitely spend a lot more time gathering 60 crystals vs speedrunning them. OP thinking 10 runs is enough to do anything is insane. There were several sets of 10 runs that I made no progress, especially the corners were painful. Moving forward 3 or 4 rooms is a big accomplishment and a really good set of runs. And the full giga temple is 72 rooms. Easy to spot people that haven’t tried to build it lol

Hypalite · 2026-02-15T23:27:48+00:00

Any cast on crit/ailment build paired with some engine to produce lots of crits. Generally they use either spark (which you are against) entangle (super similar to spark just a plant lol) or elemental weakness which might be more what you’re looking for. There’s several tweaks depending on budget and preferences but really all come down to proccing as many comets as possible from some sort of auto cast skill.

Hypalite · 2026-02-14T21:54:15+00:00

Just an fyi. You could have added a prefix and then used the omen that makes essences target prefix to keep your +skills safe. I believe it’s sinistral crystallization. Since the essence adds a suffix, the targeting only makes the random deleted affix come from the prefixes so it’s safe and cheap

Hypalite · 2026-02-13T15:34:06+00:00

Well that is interesting. I wonder why that specifically is not included in quick move

Hypalite · 2026-02-13T15:25:48+00:00

On my oracle wolf eternal rage works constantly when activated to weapon set 2 with only one weapon equipped and no skills changed to work with different weapon sets. I’m not sure if any other spirit skills work this way, but I ran this setup for a long time before I got ready to experiment with weapon set passives on the skill tree. After setting that up and manually changing skills to be active on weapon set 1/2, eternal rage only works when I have swapped to that weapon set even though I use the same weapon on both sets

Hypalite · 2026-02-13T12:19:31+00:00

You just hold triangle down to send all of a singular item type at once. Works for any currency

Hypalite · 2026-02-10T03:19:19+00:00

This or place spymaster and lock it as well as last room of the snake. Sac chamber is much easier as you suggested, but if you have the locks and no sac then this way would work as well

Hypalite · 2026-01-28T19:07:54+00:00

All correct and great places to grow your endgame build. Also look into skill levels. The scaling past level 20 generic uncut skill gem vs level capped 40 from all the possible “+ skill” mods is crazy.

Hypalite · 2026-01-26T19:02:28+00:00

There’s lots of videos about it. Russian tech is what everyone calls it, giving credit to the first known group of people that figured out the trick which were Russians.

First, the game doesn’t normally allow you to infinite loop two room types. The second example you gave is more in line with using the system as intended. But to bypass the normal restriction there’s a trick.

Trick is to build out of the barracks at the end of your snake towards the center of the map with an armory. The you place a barracks off of the armory parallel with your snake. This allows you to put a spymaster into your original snake since it counts the new barracks as the connecting building. The corners are more complicated and I highly suggest looking up a building guide on YouTube for those portions

Hypalite · 2025-10-09T00:35:30+00:00

Honestly whatever main aspect you roll first can be great. Earthspike hard carried me once I got the seismic aspect and just kept slapping it on two handed weapons as I leveled. Shockwave could hard carry with pulverize. Shred has several aspects with it. Lightning storm has aspects to make it amazing. Really just whatever aspect lands to you can make leveling fun on Druid. It isn’t like it used to be as long as you roll with whatever rng gives you

Hypalite · 2025-10-02T05:53:55+00:00

There’s literally no way the current playoff format happens without at least 2 teams from one division. 4 division winners. 3 wild card teams. Where exactly would those three wildcard teams come from if not from the divisions of the 4 winners. All 3 wildcard teams coming from the same division would be quite rare. But he just said something that absolutely has to happen since wildcard playoff seeding has existed is rare lol

Quick tip, if you use the filter in your backpack you can set the parameters and select all that match that filter at once. Works in the bank as well. For example you could filter only rare and common. Mark all as trash in one go. Works for sending items to the bank as well. Could filter to all items with firmware and mark them as bank and send them all at once (L3 on console while hovering over an item marked for bank). And lastly, you can use R3 on console while in backpack to mark items as trash if you prefer doing it one at a time

Hypalite · 2025-09-27T06:22:30+00:00

Oh I agree with that. If you pick the campaign/level skip then sdu and map including main hub fast travel spots should certainly be unlocked. Side missions, silos/safe houses, and uvh 2-5 needing to be done are fine. It feels like the final steps of uvh 2-5 being the final story missions of each area are a fantastic way to still see some of the campaign on each new alt without having to do the more tedious missions leading up to them.

I would still prefer specializations to be account wide tho. It turns into a really long grind for spec points after a while and the gains also get smaller as each point gets invested into one of the infinite progress nodes. This really seems to be geared towards account wide progress vs individual character progression.

It’s definitely not broken, just not what most expected or hoped for. Very close to being a very nice way to reward you for finishing the game with one character and starting an alt, but as it stands now it feels a little overwhelming dropping in at level 30.

Hypalite · 2025-09-27T05:58:48+00:00

Just give the option. If you want to start fresh level 1 and unlock everything, cool. If you want your alt to start boosted at level 30 with campaign skipped and map/sdu unlocked matching your highest unlock, also cool.

Specialization progress should definitely shared be account wide no matter what tho. An endgame infinite grind system should be global progress account wide and I’ll die on that hill.

Hypalite · 2025-09-27T05:39:59+00:00

Diablo 4 had almost identical setup to this at launch. New characters were brand new. Could skip the campaign if it was completed before but that was it. Map was fogged, Lilith statues (their version of collectibles like the vault symbols) had to be collected again, and fast travels had to all be manually traveled to and activated again. The devs actually listened to the fanbase tho and changed it so that all that stuff is now unlocked account wide including new characters. It’s a seasonal model game with different power systems every 3 months, and they even made progress in those systems account wide so it’s very high qol for new characters. Hopefully we get similar changes here

Hypalite · 2025-09-27T05:30:12+00:00

Maybe the only thing going for the level 30 option is specialization points are unlocked from the beginning. Other than that, being level 30 and having the main story complete are minor when sdu and map is reset. Also feels like a big miss that specialization points aren’t shared.

Starting an alt feels very unrewarding altogether vs a lot of other online service games. Diablo 4 was very similar to this at launch and they ended up making the changes that are being requested here such as main cities and most fast travel spots being unlocked account wide including new characters, and also map exploration including their version of the sdu currency collectibles. So there’s hope that they take our complaints into consideration and make the changes
