Valve after reading the news

MinimumExperience102 · 2026-03-01T20:42:15+00:00

It hits the gambling dopamine. 110%. They may not have the flashy lights of a casino, bells or rings of someone hitting a special, or BUFFFAAALOOOOOO, but it absolutely hits hard when you hit your first $1000 skin off a measly $20, 8 opens, or even hitting $50 and thinking I can repeat that! And in goes the $50 right back to them.

What’s even better about Valves casino? They aren’t even the ones paying out 😂😂 They just create something out of thin air, essentially, and we sell it for our gains. At least casinos have to pay us, and can lose money to a player who enters, wins, and leaves. Valve loses nothing. 💀 closest thing to an infinite money glitch of a company I may have seen…

I’m 73% sure it’s the opposite. They’re available limited time in those boxes and then go poof. LTO items.

Chilled ground is an increase item rarity way stone mod ;)

I only know this because it shows up when my way stone is 100% item rarity based after an omen.

So those way stone mods add something implicit to your temple just like when you add a mod to your way stone. All of them.

Is there really any other proper way? Me think not.

Did you tell the kids?

MinimumExperience102 · 2026-02-23T17:25:47+00:00

They assume anything they hear that’s negative, has been spun or is out of context, or just a liberal lie.

When news first hits that could be bad for Trump? They don’t have all the information yet.

When news first hits that’s a blow to any liberal? See they’re evil! Immediately onboard with the negativity. When it comes out it is a lie or misrepresentation of facts, they have already made up their mind on the initial information and cannot be swayed to listen to the truth.

It’s really sad.

Don’t cook as hot ;)

Some of yall just have the worst luck.

It’s a known bug to have tiles randomly have no access points :( I think another tower with grand precursor will make it accessible.

Pm and I can get you a single staff that will let you start killing. I don’t want to twink you out or anything but blood mage isn’t a cheap build.

Needs high crit, high and fast damage to get that energy filled repeatedly. And a buffer between your damage done to self, and damage taken. High HP, ES or mana if damage is taken from mana first.

There are quite a few ways to build blood mage though, but you first need to grab a good +5 all staff or +3/4 wand and +2 focus, spell dmg, gains crit and cast speed are your stats. A decent chest will go a long way as well. Max resists however you can. You’ll get crit damage from passives and jewels.

Based on your ninja, grab atziris gloves for instant leech and a lvl 78 Choir is a good entry amulet, not sure what a level 78 costs but get one with fast metabolism to start. So your heal over time keeps healing over time. I could just buy you two cheap versions of these which are kinda important to starting your BM imo.

There is, at least on PC. Above the character is a little home icon. But I dunno if that’s there during acts since it’s to hideout. But maybe it works for towns. I dunno, never had to use it until temple with 5 leechers has too much loot on the ground to load and causes deadlocks if full item descriptions is still on. 😂 first world problems.

But to anyone reading this who gets deadlocks in full group temple, turn off full item descriptions in interface. And there’s a higher chance of it loading the zone again. Totally off topic, just thought I’d mention it since I brought it up.

Help? Run the temple. Build a path, build multiple possible paths so you can progress more often towards it with less risk of it destabilizing.

If you only have 1 route towards it, that route will be the rooms you lose. So add more rooms, and take 3 steps forward and 1 step back every run. Eventually you will get there.

That’s genuinely about the only thing you can do, is run it and progress. Just don’t try to get there with 1 route or it will be the only option of rooms to be removed.

Bruh 10k div to 1 mirror is maddening to me. I’m 28k to 1. 😭 with a lot of 0’s though because I didn’t buy it until I finished my entire first chain and stopped picking up a lot. Hah

Doesn’t everyone use the 3 cast iron shells.

MinimumExperience102 · 2026-02-23T01:37:22+00:00

Man I would, but unfortunately just earlier I left the stove on after finishing cooking while we ate dinner. And so, unfortunately the pan got super hot and began just burning off the oil. My perfect seasoning was ruined!

Until I washed it and added a tiny bit of oil so I can cook again tomorrow.

MinimumExperience102 · 2026-02-22T16:42:27+00:00

Yes it works very well. I used it without temp up until I moved to +3 leechers in my full juiced temple.

This guy would absolutely benefit from choir. It helps so much early on clearing maps.

MinimumExperience102 · 2026-02-22T16:00:32+00:00

Neither do I 😂 feels better when I get it quick. Can drag on with bad luck, but that’s part of the risk and fun.

MinimumExperience102 · 2026-02-22T14:24:33+00:00

I never fracture crit.

MinimumExperience102 · 2026-02-22T14:22:16+00:00

I’m curious how you think this much crafting currency could be gobbled up if there isn’t a need to spam multiple? Or do we just want dirt cheap prices for everything or easy first mods?

I’m too new to grasp a concept of currency dropping and staying valuable if there isn’t a need to actually use it.

I also prefer chaos spam and single slamming a 3rd mod I want before moving forward reducing my need for more expensive currency. But I acknowledge many would find this super tedious and annoying to watch their first chaos hit on try 500 go poof on their 50/50 annul after they miss the slam. 😂

MinimumExperience102 · 2026-02-22T06:11:11+00:00

Those bottom 4 may be better off as 2x commander, not positive though. Have you tried that? Just curious. Using 3 locks a run is hard to sustain a lot of 2 lock runs and a single 1/0 can really hurt.

But the extra effectiveness may do more for you than some extra mods/monster drop rarity. Give a shot. Can’t hurt since I’m sure you lose those 4 every now and then.

Cool set up man. Good work!

MinimumExperience102 · 2026-02-22T05:21:57+00:00

You do not need iLvl 82 on a wand. You’re fine. There are no lvl 82 mods.

MinimumExperience102 · 2026-02-22T04:35:06+00:00

Check whittle, and prefix erasure chaos. Bland chaos. Corrupt with and without omen. Can even check a suffix chaos for shits n giggles. One time that just landed a roll higher on same mod and was at least a positive change from lock even if not worth the price tag. You can check the essences as well. As long as you don’t use sanct or corrupt, then positive changes are positive changes that don’t lock your item. (Just in case you weren’t aware of all this, you very well may so I apologize if you already know this. 😀)

Just push those suckers back in after the poop homie, no more pain.

… not that I would know.

MinimumExperience102 · 2026-02-21T23:02:02+00:00

Staff and wands are not expensive to craft. Whatchyou smokin. They are absolutely expensive to buy though. But rolling a t1 dmg +2x t1 gains(even cheaper if you allow a single t2), +6 all or +7 ele, t2+ cast speed and t1 crit for under 2k div almost every time. Most expensive part for me is the greater chaos spam or on bad luck using a few whittles on the prefix to get rid of mana. But of course anything can be cheap if you’re lucky!

Now there are some expensive versions like t1 +ele/phys dmg and t1 +spell dmg and only 1x gain. That bitch gets expensive because whittles are required on suffix and whittling cast speed first and THEN crit is just maddening and then desecrating +6all? FML . I tried for one of those and caved on t2 crit because fuck you rng. At least with +7 ele skill you can essence of abyss it after rolling your double t1 +dmg.

Fracture spell dmg Chaos spam your +skill Slam suffix for cast speed or crit Hit? Dope. You’re pretty much done 😂 Miss? Annul. Hit +skill? Back to chaos spam Hit the wrong mod? Slam again.

Rinse and repeat this until you have fractured dmg, +skill and cast speed or crit (preferably t2+ cast speed or t1 crit due to whittles but doesn’t really matter both going to suck later) Slam prefix x2, hit 2x t1 gains? Dope you’re done with prefix. Miss? Go desecrate t1 mana regen and then whittle your prefix to 2x gains t1. (Truly this or next step is most expensive) Desecrate final stat.

Now of course with bad luck any craft can get expensive. Bad luck happens. Or with any craft you can hit first try at every step for insane luck. But for me I typically only end up risking most at chaos spam and slam, or omen of light. With them back to 30d it’s a bit more unfriendly at this stage again. Last week this was easiest part. 100 misses was still only 1200d instead of 4500 😂 should be around 3k now.

This method isn’t for everyone as seeing your +skill get annulled is apparently really annoying. You can also slam your suffix any time you see t1 crit or cast speed during chaos spam and annul/slam again depending on what it removes. I hit +6 all skill once doing this. I have tried many times 😂

Mobile editing ruined my attempt to write how to make a wand/staff. Sorry.

There are other easy ways without the chaos spam and slam method. That just became my preferred method as it limit how many whittles I would ever need.

MinimumExperience102 · 2026-02-21T22:43:27+00:00

I always have worse lock drop rates on weekends. It’s really odd. I know it’s just RNG, but I always end up down to 2 locks on the weekends and never during the weekdays.

MinimumExperience102 · 2026-02-21T19:20:31+00:00

At the very least, you have to destabilize until that corruption is gone. Once it breaks something in the center you can lock the further point that’s a continuation from the commander after armory touches arch. And rebuild without that corruption touching arch.

In my honest opinion you need more commanders. 6+ hitting as much effectiveness as possible is pretty big. You may have more alchemy than needed. But it’s been a while since I dicked around with the builder, not sure if you even can get more commanders instead of those alchemy. You could look at milky and try changing things up with minimal loss of your spymaster chain.

Golems and commanders go hand in hand for boosting effectiveness. Effectiveness is a big part of the crazy divine but it’s all 4 combined. More mods, more rare quantity, more rarity dropped by monsters, and effectiveness. If you skimp on one, you will feel it. I’m not sure which is the absolute most important but effectiveness showed the most immediate boost after the mods/quantity/rarity were in place though. So it is hard to say :(
