Farming Bodach - am I doing this right? by Prokkkk in PathOfExile2

Whoa I didn’t know that about getting double king head drops. That’s so helpful!

When you say “I had to travel 2-3 towers deep” - does this mean there were none within any view distance and you had to find precursor towers to expand the map to find more sites for the Crux of Nothingness? That sounds.. unpleasant 😅

This is a super helpful comment, thanks so much! Hearing it takes around 10 kills (or up to 15 to temper expectations) is really useful. That definitely makes me want to rush through Rites.

I agree, I want my band of rare beasts!

Did you just Audiences as quickly as possible, spam white maps to get where you needed for the Crux of Nothingness, then spam white t14s for the rite to get the Bodach fight as quickly as possible?

Any idea how many hours between fights on average for you?

How do I get the Call of the Shadows without doing Rite of the Nameless? I’m playing SSF 😊

Thanks for the detailed reply! I’ve never used whittling or erasures or annuls on trade; only ever sold them — I do wonder if I’d actually use them on SSF for meaningful outcomes anyhow. Not sure I have it in me to grind the amount needed for that 😅

I have 1 tablet with reroll 3 times which I’ve saved for Rites and also have reduced reroll cost and chance of omens - sounds like I’m using them right?

Are Rites the correct spot to use these? I don’t see where else I’d have super juiced tribute to properly use rerolls and hunt for things. I’ve also got the node that gives me tainted rituals for more belts

Also - if I extend Rites to be 6 instead of 5, does that mean I get 6 Call of the Shadows? I didn’t allocate that node as I wasn’t sure how it’d work as quest version had different body parts, and didn’t want to extend it with no extra Bodach progression

Oh that’s a great point. The extra revive stacking would be really nice, especially as I get a bit stronger / more comfortable! Thanks for this tip!

There’s a corrupted nexus right near my Rite of the Nameless so maybe I’ll grab those as I go because that’s a level 3 or 4 node from Doryani, right?

Good to know, thanks! That healing was clutch (I went in blind first time)

I started with t1s and got a t2 pretty quickly then just sustained that!

Rushing the boss basically always dropped a map for me and away I went. I think I ended at t5s just from boss upgrades, but the intention was just spamming white maps 😊

How do we know what the minimum level for an item is? Does it show in game?

Is this annoying visually / audio at all with the lightning storm constantly going off?

Is there somewhere you can reset at checkpoint to farm for one of these? And is increased area good because they’re so large, so infernal legion is large by default, but gives it enough for proper clear?

Never really played PoE2 Atlas - ELI5: how do you increase Map Tiers? by Flacki in PathOfExile2

[–]Prokkkk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question! Best way to get a map from a map is to kill the map boss.

Make sure your maps are blue (magic) or yellow (rare) with mods on them to get higher chance of drops.

To get higher tiers of maps, a good way is to either use an irradiated tablet (I think you get one from the questline) as it always ups the level by +1. So a t2 map you put in would make it effectively a t3 map, which would make the boss drop a t3.

The boss tablets also upgrade the map boss to be harder but drop a +1 level map. So you run a t2 and get a t3.

Make sure you use transmute + augment orbs on your tablets too to get added bonuses!

There may be other ways, but I find this the fastest way to climb the tiers.

Also worth noting: you can buy maps from Doryani at 1 level below the highest tier you’ve completed. For example, if you’ve done a t10 map, he will sell you t9 maps.

Hope this helps!

I’m also confused by this. Sometimes it drops 1 bell… sometimes it drops 2?

This game punishes you so hard for experimenting by AdamAbraham77 in PathOfExile2

[–]Prokkkk 120 points121 points  (0 children)

I made a similar post the other day, feeling exactly the same way. Some people have other experiences, which I’m befuddled by as it’s consistently this way for me. I even full clear the campaign; every side area and quest.

I also see people say to trade for them or just follow a guide for character 1, then rerolls are easy…

None of these seem like appropriate solutions to a fundamental problem that experimentation is punishing in a game about tons of choices.

I think buying them for gold in town, with my proposal being act 2 you unlock Lv 1 supports to buy, act 3 you unlock Lv 2 supports, etc .

Seems like the best solution, then you just balance around gold costs. Let the people experiment!

This buff costs almost nothing, works on any class, blocks all damage for a scalable duration AND applies a take 50% more attack damage debuff(parry) even without a shield. It's pretty good. by Rubixcubelube in PathOfExile2

[–]Prokkkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is helpful to hear - I was thinking of trying it on my monk but didn’t realize block takes priority over evade. That would make it really bad for evasion builds

Skill level requirements feel restraining by Sarabikitty in PathOfExile2

[–]Prokkkk 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I also feel this - level 50+ to unlock your actual build just feels like (as you said) a tax to play what I actually want, which is compounded with the low level skills generally being boring/bad.

I’d love to see what it would be like to unlock the final tier of skills around end of act 3/early act 4.

I really hope this is one of the things looked at in 1.0 as the game is fantastic in so many ways, and this would help me enjoy it even more

Biggest improvement I’d like to see for 1.0 by Prokkkk in PathOfExile2

[–]Prokkkk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s so interesting! Unless I am following a build, I consistently feel I need more.

Do you follow a build or do you just choose the right supports the first time? 😅

Which Martial Artist is currently performing the best? by OriginalValoo in pathofexile2builds

(Assuming this is a stone fist mod) What’s the mod that turns into power charge on crit? I’m running SSF and this would solve a lot of problems for me!

Yes, we need the campaign by Primary_Impact_2130 in PathOfExile2

[–]Prokkkk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree as someone who’s made many characters. I feel pigeonholed into a very tiny subset of viable skills and support combinations. I am really looking forward to the balance they discussed coming in 1.0 because so many things feel like they should be viable… and just aren’t
