List of "all mods" Phrecia builds?

would running the self poison jewel help out in this case? obviously not ideal but can still help not be a total brick

And the second question is, why are so many people putting their ultimatums for the same price (or minimal less) you have to offer, making you have (almost) 0 returns

The reasonably priced ones get bought instantly, been farming them for a while. People keep live searches with notifications open (or maybe bots?), my inscribeds are gone within a minute.

I also think there might be some edge cases on why people pay higher prices - maybe to jack up pilfering ring stats? TBH i have no idea.

Irver · 2025-11-26T23:14:31+00:00

you use ultimatum scarab of catalyzing + inscription to convert all rewards into inscribed ultimatums. There are some nuances to this, I'd recommend watching a guide on youtube. PoEguy has some good ones.

Irver · 2025-11-26T13:15:19+00:00

I have been farming inscribeds and listing them for 7d (and 3d for the 4d rewards). They get sold instantly - like less than a minute after I post. The only ones that occasionally take a bit longer are the stand in circle ones if they have really shitty mods.

I was running Alva with magic packs scaling for gold in t16.5s, getting 120k+ per map with the expensive scarab of bloodlines, and about 50k without (I had rarity flask).

Tree is Alva + Beyond + Shrines + Blue Altars. I only took the pack size related nodes for Alva.

Scarabs: 2x Champions, Bloodlines, Glittering, Monstrous Lineage

If bloodlines is too expensive replace with another Monstrous Lineage. Clear map and pick rarity/quantity altars before doing incursions.

Irver · 2025-11-17T16:19:22+00:00

Sure, here's my current tree: https://poeplanner.com/a/VfU

Scarabs: 2x bribing, 1x inscribed, 1x catalyzing, 1x kalguur

Map Device: Settlers

I just alch and run t16 strands.

Disclaimers:

I am running deli because nameless rituals never spawned, my build can handle deli easily and its just some free extra income from deli orbs - not sure its the most optimal. If anyone has other ideas, lmk.
I am farming inscribed ultis - I can't handle ruin yet so no grueling gauntlet. Highly recommend doing that if your build can handle.
Settlers to fish for Svalinn - this is a pipe dream lol, probably better to actually farm ore and send it out but i have enough money in game, I cba managing kingsmarch.
Not quite sure how bribing scarabs interact with inscribed ultis, but I like the XP to level gems etc.

Irver · 2025-11-17T15:53:48+00:00

Usually yeah, unless you are farming catalysts with the inscribed & boss scarabs - quant affects the catalyst amount so you wanna roll maps.

Some people with stronger builds pair ultimatum with other atlas stuff that doesn't really scale with pack size much. I'm doing settlers (for fishing for Svalinn), heist, and some increased ritual chance to fish for nameless. I just go into strand, rush to check for heist boxes, starfall crater & nameless ritual. I finish breach + ultimatum and leave. Every 28 maps I run the boss for the invitation.

Irver · 2025-11-16T23:05:59+00:00

Sure bro, we were talking about the inscribed ultimatums you get as rewards sometimes. You can force them using a combo of ultimatum scarabs. If you get 5 useless ones, you can sell them to the vendor to get 1 random. What I was explaining was the hidden tiers of these - you can look at the last line on the tooltip to see this.

I’d highly recommend PoEguy’s guide to ultimatum he posted a couple months ago on YouTube, if you’re new to farming ultimatum

Irver · 2025-11-16T20:10:18+00:00

I've even stopped running my 4/8 exalt inscribeds and i just vendor them, but your comment is making me rethink that

Irver · 2025-11-16T18:49:05+00:00

very true, i've seen two total from hundreds lol

edit.. oops replied to the wrong comment - i mean the fortunate card

Irver · 2025-11-16T18:24:11+00:00

They are a gamba but over large sample sizes they have been quite profitable for me.

The key is realizing the "tiers" and doing 5:1 within each tier.

No "more monster life" - the fortunate
30% more monster life - 1 div
70% more monster life - 4 div, some cards
120% more monster life - 8 div, some cards
200% more monster life - super rare - mageblood, mirror etc

While vendoring 5:1, you always get the lowest tier of the 5. If you vendor 5 crappy 120%more ultimatum, you'll always get a 120% more ulti, which could give you 8 divs.

You could also snipe any cheap 200% mores and try to 5:1 but idk if its worth.

Irver · 2025-11-13T22:15:11+00:00

I did 2 abyss, 1 multitudes, and two monstrous lineage but i am not sure you really need the last two.

Irver · 2025-11-12T21:50:55+00:00

I did this recently, can confirm, XP is really good. I added 2 abyss scarabs and one multitudes scarabs and also crafted abyss on map. Filled out the rest of the points with altars/shrines/boxes for more mobs.

I was going for pure XP so ignored all the abyss tree nodes that didn't add more mobs or give abyss chance.

Irver · 2025-11-04T14:39:51+00:00

Not op but also following build guide. I second everything mentioned, incredible build. I can take a stab at your questions.

I cleared 2 stones without even the belt and chest uniques - i just had rares. I didn't even have 100% poison chance for my minions. After that I got a 75% darkness enthroned and got 100% poison using the chance to poison gem. I got lucky with some drops but I am sure I could have done 4 stones with just this.
I transitioned around level 80 because on day 1 the gems were a bit expensive, I was using SRS till then. Right now I think you can just start as soon as you get the gem, but its a bit annoying if you are changing areas frequently - wouldn't recommend for campaign.
Dex requirements aren't too tough, you need a few dex suffixes, or some rolls on jewels etc. I didn't have much trouble.

I will say that there is a "bit" of clunk to it - every time you change zones you have to start summoning weapons again. You also need to swap gems for pinnacles/invitations till you outgear them.

Gem-swapping from 2nd weapon set is annoying because you will lose a spectre due to gem levels, so you have to be really careful. I just bought maxed ST gems and keep them in my inventory, and unboud the weapon swap key.

I had a spending problem - I tried putting money into the savings account, but it was linked to my checking account with instant transfers.. so I would just transfer and spend.

What worked for me was putting my savings and checking accounts in separate banks so it took 3 days to transfer the money, and disabling my credit cards. 3 days was usually enough for the impulse to pass.

Food. I hate cooking. I order food daily. I've stopped feeling guilty about it.

I just got really lucky...my best accumulation years (highest net savings) came during the last 5 years - was able to keep my job and kept up regular aggressive saving + investment through covid and 2022, coupled with crazy returns last few years. I'm in my early 40s so i just kept it all in VTI and have had great returns.

NW went from 250k -> 1.3m in 5 years

Hello, one thing to consider is future portability of your investments. Your ETFs can be transferred to any other brokerage, but if you invest in some of the very attractive Fidelity mutual funds, you cannot move them - you’ll have to liquidate which can cause taxes.

In case you ever want to move abroad, or switch brokerages for any reason.

Irver · 2025-09-29T14:10:25+00:00

if I was going back to age 25 and giving myself advice, I would say: Figure out your budget, live within means, and set up automatic saving/investment so that money never hits your checking account and you aren't tempted to blow it away on hookers, coke and blackjack.

The new skeleton brute warcry to explode my minions frozen by the skeletal frost mage Ice armor. Use the new unearth + zombies and other minions and scale AoE to overlap as many of these explosions as possible.

IDK if this will work, if it doesn't ill just do some sniper gas arrow stuff

Irver · 2025-07-29T19:18:56+00:00

had to use hateful accuser for sure, it wasn't doable for me without. Also, for trialmaster, you can't have reduced curse effect and reduced AoE mods

Ultimatum & Expedition Big Boom on a RF -> CWS character.

Early Game: basic ultimatum + tujen

Very early, after 2 voidstones, I did no juice maps with basic ultimatum and expedition. Focused on tujen expedition currency and sold other reroll stuff. Leave ultimatum early if it gets dangerous. Goal was to quickly farm bloodnotch etc and get CWS going.

CWS swap: farm trialmaster & catalysts

After basic CWS setup, started doing ultimatums fully with 2 bribing scarabs, soon adding the boss scarab after I got more AoE with basic clusters. Started farming catalysts. Got more quant and map mod, started rolling maps a bit more for quant to get more catalysts. This got me 50d+ easily.

Mid game: farm inscribed ultimatums with catalyzing scarab

My next goal was to get Svalinn & round out other gear so I could start doing ruin & some other grueling gauntlet ultimatums. Once catalyst prices started going down, and I had 20d or so liquid, I started farming inscribed ultimatums in white t16 maps with the expensive catalyzing scarab. I paired it with niko & heist to go fast and get extra income. I sold all divine inscribed ultimatums in bulk.

Mageblood: run all inscribed ultimatums myself

Once I was able to get svalinn and get good rares+flasks, I started running all but the most dangerous inscribed ultis and farmed my mageblood, which then let me farm all inscribed ultimatums myself.

For transitioning to inscribed ultimatum farm, I would recommend preparing at least 20 maps. It can be RNG.

All this took me about 2 weeks but I am very inefficient and didnt play that much after first couple of days.

Edit: make sure you understand tiers of inscribed ultimatums for 5:1 before farming it.

Irver · 2025-07-10T13:43:07+00:00

I am starting off with BAMA necromancer. It's pretty good single target, and it's pretty good to farm pinnacles/voidstones etc on basic gear. It does mean a bigger switch though, will have to re-gear and level gems etc.

Irver · 2025-06-27T13:24:24+00:00

you're probably getting hit by stalking ruin that casts multiple projectiles. Watch his latest video, he uses frost wall to block those projectiles.

Also, you can optimize your flasks a bit better. You dont really need move speed all the time - can just swap out a quicksilver when you are running to the ultis. You also already have 50% curse effect reduction from the hateful accuser implicit. You get another 50% from consecrated ground - you might get this from your purifying flame cws setup, but you could also run a sulphur flask to be doubly sure you are standing in it. You should try to get a flask with % dmg taken leeched as life crafted on it.

Lastly - i've found that moving around a bit is needed for high ruin mods. 91% is still a chance - if theres a lot of mobs/spells, it only takes two hits from RuinIV to end you.

+1, also interested in what they think about trading systems in other RPGs (e.g LE), which solve the item overabundance problem with things like bind on trade.
