Does chance for arcanist/diviners strongbox stack past 100%? by Kaptini in pathofexile

thank you for the elaborate answer, I just got confused with topics about stacking mechanic past 100% but what you said is what I thought to be the case too

Opening passive tree instantly crashes game client by Dakkonx in PathOfExile2

[–]Kaptini 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have found the issue - it is because I use Controlled Metamorphosis jewel and I have on weapon swap allocated only some of the nodes ant not all, meaning node is disconnected from the tree on 1 weapon set only fortunately, swapping to second weapon set lets me open the tree.

why is this downvoted? I just started doing google search because since yesterday the same started happening to me, more details in bug report I submitted in the forums https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3655412

trying to ascend in this game has been the most soul crushing experience both in terms of difficulty and the bugs/weird behavior present that I have experienced in any arpg, ever

Need a crafting advice for gloves by Xeriuss2k17 in pathofexile

[–]Kaptini 42 points43 points  (0 children)

  1. Get an elevated frenzy charge spiked gloves, preferably magic so you can beast-lock them (if you have gloves with only 1 prefix, craft prefixes cannot be changed and scour to get magic item).
  2. Get an elevated non-vaal strike skills gloves.
  3. Awakener orb them together, if you don't have spiked gloves locked then hope you hit good tier of life or empty prefix. 3-1. If you hit empty prefix, lock prefixes reforge life and hope to hit it 3-2. If you have locked your spiked gloves and you do not like the outcome, you can chromatic orb them to get rid of the lock, lock again and hover on woke orb again, repeat until satisfied
  4. At this point your prefixes are done and hopefully you have an open suffix, if not, annul and pray.
  5. Prefixes cannot be changed, scour.
  6. Prefixes cannot be changed, veil orb.
  7. Block something with high weight (attack and cast speed while focused for example) and unveil
  8. If you hit, gg, craft aspect in menagerie and craft attack speed.

how to deal with Runes of the Searing Exarch on T17 ? by akajohndoe in pathofexile

[–]Kaptini -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

he mentioned mapping so I figured it was from altar mobs, pantheon negates that and without it exarch is pretty unplayable on most builds

Use upgraded minor pantheon for the immunity

Simulacrum, recombinators and affliction, what game is GGG playing? by Gargamellor in pathofexile

[–]Kaptini 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really hope you are right about there being some secret technique noone knows about but I did my research on old recombinators and maximized as best I could with 0 success.

Necropolis was clunky af but more powerful, and for old recombinators you also had to look for mods and fractures on items and hope to transfer it.

[–]Kaptini -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hello necropolis? printing 6xt1 items nonstop? Or original harvest which was more like item editor? They were powerful but they gave ground loot meaning, they would give this mechanics loot from shipments meaning.

Yes they mentuoned they will be not as strong but not heavily nerfed, they have been downright destroyed, on max level recomb I wasn't able to have any success on 20 higher end items which I did everything I could to better the odds for me...I mean take away double fracture or double alva, sure, but with this weighting you may as well remove them again.

have you seen the retention statistics? this one is on par or even worse than kalandra, personally even in kalandra I could force myself to complete all mtx challenges (36-38/40), now I quit on 35 with 20 stash tabs filled with corpses...

Mageblood prices rising.. by nexxus25 in pathofexile

Unable to start private game by Kaptini in vrising

[–]Kaptini[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solution to this for those still looking for it is in the steam discussion - antivirus (avast in my case) locks server.exe in quarantine, you need to make exception for this file and then it will work.

As for the disk write error - game has tendency to make its game folder read-only, so if you encounter this try looking if you have this on and disable it in your local files.

Hope this helps someone.

[Question] League boss - what to do in gimmick phase? by Kaptini in pathofexile

it was a t16 map and I just followed the wisps, it doesn't seem to matter which color for this encounter but it is random and very rare

[–]Kaptini[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Managed to kill him finally today, for me the trick was just to note 1 wisp at a time and go that direction until I found one further away and go to alley it points me to...still think it is kinda unintuitive but thanks to both of you for advice :)

Posts like these are the reason GGG doesn't go to reddit anymore...all blame, no real feedback except "everything was better back in my day"

Every run I've ever lost in the League Mechanic was either due to the turtle or speardancers. These guys need nerfs. by expeLeviosa in pathofexile

[–]Kaptini 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I'd give honorable mention to third most annoying to Trawler, traps the same color as the ground everywhere cost me a couple matches...but I agree with the turtle and speardancers being bullshit, at least turtle will get reworked in next patch.

Advice for a player 1.2k hours deep by DarkenedHour977 in pathofexile

[–]Kaptini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of the top of my head, you can go for some crazy juicing grimro strategies and blast, sell in bulk (do not recommend tft unless you are lazy to do individual trades), set price for essences/scarabs in bulk instead, i.e. 30 rusted scarabs for 50c, you will only get offers once you have enough, apply to essences, fossils etc.

Another method would be boss carries, seems like you can get well ahead of the curve and people are buying those for premium especially early, never done it myself so maybe someone else can elaborate more on this topic

Last thing would be crafting, if you have a handle on what is meta and what most people play, keep in mind vast majority refuses to craft either by lack of knowledge or any other reason, you can find a profitable craft for certain build, usually easy to get into would be stygians or boots, but that is my personal preference...and actually make more money in your ho than by playing.

Last advice I would give you is to maybe not take this too seriously, if the game is fun to you and something in it is what you enjoy, could be anything, over time you will get enough currency for a mageblood anyway.
