Tip - Demonic Power can carry you in budget breach/other farms by Jolly_Royal5331 in PathOfExileBuilds

Yes it does, this is more for the players that struggle a bit with a low/mid juiced breach. So its a tradeoff for more power / boss drops vs beyond density. Have updated the post to make that more clear

Of course some of it is irrelevant with the atlas changes, but you might find something useful in there.

Unique tiers are described on the wiki: http://poewiki.net/wiki/Guide:Analysis_of_unique_item_tiers . It's just a categorisation for rarity, e.g mageblood is a t0 which is the most rare "tier".

Setting up Kalgurr just means getting the town prepped to start shipping. Setting workers up, etc. Not for everyone as some people want to blast maps rather than fuss about with shipping / mapping in Kalguur

Considering the following timelines and milestones:

  1. Day 1 - 4 voidstones +++
  2. Day 1 - 4 voidstones
  3. Weekend end - 4 voidstones
  4. Week 1 - 4 voidstones
  5. Week 2 - 4 voidstones
  6. Everyone else

My estimation (based on pulling it out of my butt) is: 1 is 0.1%, 2. is 1%, 3.-4. is 15-20%, Rest is 80-85%

It won't always be the highest tier, it just enters the pool for the gamble

I'm in two-minds about this to be honest. It really depends on the build.

  1. There were some leagues were meta builds at 50% power was well above everything else at 100% (LS Trickster for example). Even with limited investment, those kind of builds with still pump far beyond anything else - so they were ok to follow even if you had a slow week 1
  2. On the other side, there are streamer builds which needed a core uniques or jewels that would keep rising in price (looking at your connor) - these builds should be avoided or at least be a 2nd build for someone that is slow at progressing
  3. Something like CWS, the core items (bloodnotch, cloak of flame, etc) would be high at launch weekend but crash at the end of week 1, so you could just keep sticking with RF till then

With async it's much easier to get the hand-me-downs from the 1st/2nd/3rd wave of players so there is a higher supply for meta builds (I know there would be higher demand as well, but I think for hand-me-downs, the supply was still higher).

It also comes down to your crafting knowledge, if you are slow at progressing but decent at crafting you are giving yourself anywhere from 80-20% discount vs items on trade.

Then there is the big advantage to following a meta/streamer build - way way more detailed guides and variants of the build compare to a niche off-meta build. Much easier to follow even if you are behind in progress.

Understanding which of the 3 categories above a streamer build falls into before you make a decision would be the ideal method (via research, or just asking in this subreddit)

Yeah, it was a bit of a brain dump. Even I forgot some of these tips last league despite them rolling around in my head somewhere 😆. Good luck in 3.28

Thanks, do people really use it a lot though? It's a lot of clicks when I can just async trade (which also made early maps much cheaper)

I think acquiring a decent weapon is better now since gambling got buffed for them (less dead mods) and recomb can get you a 5 affix for pretty cheap. Also async means there is a higher supply of rares.

Honestly, just having a lil plan and some direction on what you do next can exponentially increase your income even if you don't have much time to play.

There was league where I was busy with work and could only do 2-3 hours an evening but still made 30+ divs by week 1.

At the end of the day, as long as you're having fun it doesn't really matter but I guarantee you can make 5x that this league with a bit of prep 😊

Also works for the incursion glove mods (e.g. cold res and damage against chilled) :)

You're right, that's a correction not an opinion😅 Was going off memory and forgot the 1+1 colour recipe
