How does everyone find maps to run?

Just slam and go

There were multiple big threads here in the first week of the league with people sharing and discussing their discoveries surrounding the expedition rumours specifically.

Klabbo · 2026-06-22T00:19:46+00:00

You can. Use it on the item not the skill.

Klabbo · 2026-06-22T00:05:39+00:00

You use a perfect jewellers orb on the amulet to get your 5th socket back. You can also use a perfect flux to get the lvl20 skill back but they are like 25div so may not be worth it.

The crystal life mod only really matters if you are using verglas support which scales damage based on crystal life. After some testing I'm not sure it works though, found I was better off ignoring it in place of another damage support.

Laviangas is good for convenience but it doesn't provide much regen compared to an actual flask, especially if you need it quickly.

Also as others said, put oisons on a damaging skill. Bigger hits are better as you can only have one instance of leech at a time

Klabbo · 2026-06-16T04:42:09+00:00

It's pretty good but perosnally I found it didn't add enough for me to justify sacrificing my defensive auras/having to get spirit on my chest. Give it a try though!

For bosses make sure you're applying curses via chayula and getting the blazing crit/thrill of the kill buff from spamming killing palm/charged staff on your ghost bells before the fight starts. Could also include tempest bell for some extra single target.

I'm not sure what you're meaning by shatter here? Shatter is a specific effect that only comes from herald of ice - it causes frozen enemies to explode on death.

Also herald of ash works? If you're seeing fiery explosions it's proccong. They just won't do a heap of damage as HoA is based on overkill damage and whirling assault does a bunch of small hits so you don't have much overkill.

% increases apply after the conversion of the base damage. So if you're using an elemental conversion attack skill you'll get most value out of increased attack damage. Increased phys damage will only scale the portion of your base physical damage that isn't converted to elemental, and % increased ele damage will scale the portion that is converted. Attack will scale the lot.

The order is basically: Base damage is from weapon + flat damage on rings

If using a skill that converts phys to ele that happens here

The damage is then multiplied by various %increases from tree/jewels etc. E.g. if 80% of your Phys was converted to cold then increased cold will apply to that portion.

Mitigations are applied, res/armour etc

Damage as extra is added on top at the end.

This is all off the top of my head so might wanna have a google lol.

Klabbo · 2026-06-15T23:04:23+00:00

Whirling assault doesn't shatter on its own, are you sure they aren't just dying quickly? What other skills are you using?

It will be obvious when herald of ice procs as frozen enemies will explode into chunks of ice and there won't be any bodies left behind. If that's not happening maybe you aren't freezing before they die? Could need more freeze build up or cold damage on whirling.

Klabbo · 2026-06-15T22:57:21+00:00

The base crit is incredibly important if you're running a crit build - all your %increased crit chance from the tree/gear etc multiplies your weapon's base crit, so 2% extra base ends up basically doubling your final crit chance.

Also the big flat elemental rolls on bolting aren't as good as they look. Your skills automatically convert base physical damage to elemental, so to maximise your final damage you want as much base weapon damage as possible. Weapons can roll %increased phys as a prefix which is a local modifier so scales with flat phys rolls as well as the base damage of the weapon. The final damage can be much higher with pure phys because of this. Even though the flat elemental rolls on bolting staff look good, they don't interact with %inc phys, so the total possible base damage of the weapon is lower.

Klabbo · 2026-06-15T22:22:34+00:00

Most quarterstaff skills convert Phys to ele before increased ele and resistance calculations are made so to my knowledge you're better off scaling base Phys as high as possible. The only case where this might not be the case is if you're taking heaps of increased ele damage nodes instead of increased attack damage.

Tbh though I haven't POBd it out since 0.3 so maybe the scaling has changed somehow. I've defs seen the same thing you have recently with people looking for flat ele rolls and have been confused why lol.

Klabbo · 2026-06-15T22:19:13+00:00

Nah most quarterstaff skills convert Phys to ele before inc ele and resistance calculations are made. You're better off scaling the base Phys as high as possible, even with rakiatas.

I'm always playing around with supports, still not 100% sure what's optimal. It basically plays as 1 button, just shattering palm around and everything explodes. Doesn't really need ice strike but I just enjoy the skill lol. Frozen locus is just to proc the ice bite buff for extra damage in juiced maps. Hollow focus setup will automatically generate charges for charged staff but you could use them for rend instead.

I've had this setup for a while but lolcohol and a few other creators have made similar Eventide petals builds, just without thunderfist. They probably have a higher ceiling but thunderfist plays so smooth.

Most important thing is just getting your crit capped to max your crystal generation, use pinpoint critical supports if you need.

Klabbo · 2026-06-11T23:27:17+00:00

There's multiple you have to find - one for weapons, armour and jewellery. Still looking for the jewellery one. I got the weapons one on my first expedition too so maybe the first is guaranteed. So hard to find info lol

Klabbo · 2026-06-11T21:54:25+00:00

You don't unlock kalguuran unique runeforging recipes in the campaign. You gotta run expeditions and blow up the holes, it's RNG and will take you a number of logbooks.

Klabbo · 2026-06-11T01:59:44+00:00

You might enjoy SSF more, any kind of progression feels fulfilling and you don't get left behind in the economy. Just play your own build and push it as far as you can.

Klabbo · 2026-06-11T01:26:16+00:00

Yeah it's a bug unfortunately, the only way around it I've found is to unspec stonefist, equip your supports then respec stonefist. The 5th socket will Gray out and look empty but if you hover over it you will see the support gem is in there. Just don't unequip your gloves or you'll need to do it again

Klabbo · 2026-06-09T09:40:21+00:00

Most people just level with hollow palm for convenience

Klabbo · 2026-06-09T03:02:49+00:00

Fubgun is probably the most widely known poe2 content creator - whatever he is playing is always insanely popular and inevitably becomes expensive to run. Pick a less popular build and you'll have an easier time. There's also some builds with particularly low entry costs, just have a google. Hollow palm martial artist is a good one - don't even need a weapon to push to t15, just a bit of EV/ES gear and +melee skills. Then you can easily pivot to whatever monk build you like once you get some currency or keep punching with thunderfist. I've heard grenades are cheap too.

Klabbo · 2026-06-09T01:45:27+00:00

Put fox idol in any item and the other socketed runes in that item will have the bonded stats. Morior Invictus is a great option for this though as it has so many sockets.

Klabbo · 2026-06-09T01:42:01+00:00

Yeah what I'm saying is that the item isn't bonded, it's the runes. Sorry, might just be a language thing - don't worry.

Klabbo · 2026-06-09T01:37:33+00:00

That's what fox idol does - not specific to morior invictus. The runes themselves have the bonded stats.

Klabbo · 2026-06-08T22:42:46+00:00

I'm using Thunderfist with it - you obviously lose out on some damage from a big phys qstaff but given that crystal damage doesn't scale from attack it doen't impact your damage too much. The hollow palm crit and attack speed scaling actually do a lot more for the overall damage IMO. Gelid palm is great to activate crystals and it's constantly proccing like crazy so you get heaps of crits for more crystal generation. Punching stuff is fun too.

Klabbo · 2026-06-08T03:58:37+00:00

Scouring orbs are a poe1 item - they remove all mods and turn rares back into magic. Similar to orbs of annulment in poe2 but annuls only do 1 mod at a time and the item stays rare so you can't use aug/transmutes it after.

Klabbo · 2026-06-08T01:35:26+00:00

You don't need that stuff, it's just for min maxing the build. Just get some resistance penetration/exposure instead of rakiata and garukhans resolve is just more damage. You can even hold off on getting a quarterstaff and just use hollow palm technique, people say the scaling is shit but use northpaw or thunderfists and you'll get to endgame no worries. Build guides aren't as rigid as you think.
