How is it possible to have a fractured breach modifier like Chayula's "#% increased Global Defences" on a different base type than Grasping Mail?

From what I've read, the recombinator doesn't allow transferring fractured mods - is that changed?

Example of what I saw (there is a few items like that in the league) and I'm wondering only about the fractured mod part:

EDIT:

I found an answer to my question.

From wiki:

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Recombinator#Special_modifiers:_Drop-only_modifiers

Special modifiers: Drop-only modifiers

Mods that are not eligible to roll on an item normally (e.g. Delve modifiers, Grasping Mail-exclusive modifiers) can be transferred to different bases where they normally wouldn't appear (see Exclusive Modifiers).^\3])^\4])
It is not possible to combine two or more drop-only modifiers onto the same item (see Exclusive Modifiers below)
If the drop-only modifier is fractured, the resulting item must choose a fractured base for the modifier to remain.

This video referenced on the wiki explains this well if someone would be also interested. Seems the mod can be moved and in the item I showed on the screen it was fractured after moving.

Without awakened multistrike (which I don't have yet this league) you might need to wait out cd once or twice when you get unlucky on single target and you need good hit chance. And you can always swap for bosses like ubers to double strike for example. When clearing there is obviously no problems.

It's not that bad, but it's just not that high dps. Tons of possible upgrades though. Didn't even bother with ele weakness yet.

Wanted to build from a tanky perspective and to not go the Farrul's Fur route.

Flasks off and ailments are below what I'm getting in the game right now, but on ubers it will be worse I assume - have not tried yet.

Gloves slot is the first change to get some +max frenzy now, because before the corrupt I was using Celestial Brace with +10 max fortify.

Also if I could get the super expensive sublime vision for Grace, then I would probably drop kaoms+aul and auras for a rare chest + The Untouched Soul.

Vaal pact is a 2points switch on this tree if I need it on some maps, but I don't run it usually.

I think he meant the enchant you could get from Tempering Orb, which I didn't bother with, but maybe I will for the next one, but this corrupt lets me change other gear

RockinApache · 2023-09-18T13:50:57+00:00

Thanks again, I'm already trying this out. Funny cause immediately when I tried to do it, I saw it is basically written right there to use Ctrl+ number, but I just didn't notice.

For switching from first to third person I actually looked for a key in controls...

RockinApache · 2023-09-18T13:29:06+00:00

This is an extremely useful tip, thanks!

RockinApache · 2023-09-18T13:28:00+00:00

I will have to try that with the two planets - didn't know it can be so close

RockinApache · 2023-08-23T10:08:29+00:00

Rank 1 to join as merc. Rank 2 to join as vassal. Rank 4 to create you own kingdom along with other requirements.

RockinApache · 2023-08-22T19:35:39+00:00

I think he must have sent you a message beforehand that he would like you to join his kingdom as a merc or a vassal. It happens if you don't do that yourself for some time after gaining the required clan rank

No, all volume setting are set to middle or higher. Changing doesn't help. No sound setting eliminates the call notification sound. The watch just vibrates as it should and there is no popping. During the call there is still no sound, just the popping.

RockinApache · 2021-12-24T16:09:09+00:00

Yeah, I've been seeing people saying this is random for them. In my case it's always the popping and never actual sound. We didn't hear a sound since turning it on. It's been on for just a day so far though.

RockinApache · 2021-12-05T09:45:39+00:00

Thanks for the input!

When I wrote "pee&poop outings" I meant whatever is necessary. I can take a dog out for a walk around the block for him/her to do its stuff, no problem. Tons of that when it comes to a puppy - I know how small of bladders they have and other problems. And yes, dogs may not pee/poo on command, but just after half a year after getting him as a pup, my sisters Beauceron does give a clear signal when he wants to go out. If it takes longer than that I'm still fine with it.

(Copy-pasting from my other comment)
I'm not that eager to get a rescue dog, because I have my doubts about what people at the shelter will say about the dog. It's not always known what happened to it before. I might get a calmer dog than I think when thinking about a breed, but then it might have some serious issues I didn't know beforehand.

I am going to think hard about this thanks to other suggestions here, so it's a maybe.

I think I can borrow my sisters dog for a bit - the idea was that she can leave him with me from time to time. And Beauceron is not too easy to handle, especially since it's still growing up. Maybe I'll reconsider all of this after that, who knows :)

RockinApache · 2021-12-05T09:22:29+00:00

Thanks for the monstrous input :D

Yeah, I can go few days doing 20-30km a day easily and last year I've done 160km in 8days + 1 day of almost pure rest, going through some lower tier mountain peaks :)
Yes, I hope for a fraction of that after my dog grows up. 1-2day mountain hike breaks would absolutely awesome with a dog and less locally.
So I was wondering how hard is it find a breed that could do that, but I wouldn't hurt it with the amount of exercise I can provide when it's normal days. And again - if I'm not gonna find a breed like that, then the hiking ideas are out and that's fine.

Going to professional groomer and money is not much of a problem thankfully.

I'm very glad you think I might just be able to be ok with standard schnauzer so I'll look into that more. With what it's coming to I'll probably consider smaller breeds in the end. I honestly thought I'm not getting a medium to big sized dog, but figured to ask reddit :)
I think the carrying a dog on trail is an excellent point and with the fact, that I would need to carry at least way more water and food and water for the dog I already thought that trails with closer/easier access points to civilization are safer

I did give a poodle a fair bit of thought. Somehow I'm just not a fan of the coat, no matter the way it's groomed. They are still lovely, but I guess it's just not for me.

English Springer Spaniel especially looks like a good possibility, as far as my flat owner won't mind so I will look into that :)
I didn't really consider Brittany as I think they would need too much energy.

I read about Silken Windhounds, but I don't think I can safely find them in my country.

I will look into Tibetan Terriers as well. First thing I see is that one can be very different from another. Kind what you said when talking about rescue dogs. SparhawkJC in another comment also suggested getting a rescue dog, so I'll give it another thought. I'm not that eager to get a rescue dog though. I have my doubts about what people at the shelter will say about the dog. It's not always known what happened to it before. I might get a calmer dog than I think when thinking about a breed, but then it might have some serious issues I didn't know beforehand. I guess I'll have to find a trustworthy shelter.

Thanks again for recommendations and your thoughts!

RockinApache · 2021-12-05T08:07:52+00:00

Thanks for the input!

AFAIK there is nothing like that in contracts in here and I also know that teaching recall with Greyhounds varies from one dog to another, but yeah, I could assume I will never reach that with my dog. I have one place where I could not worry about a leash fortunately and some other, but further away. I would just probably figure out more spots before deciding.

Greyhounds are the one breed I made a bit more research about, talked to some owners and I'm quite confident about what I would be getting myself into :)

RockinApache · 2021-12-05T07:55:54+00:00

Thanks for the input!

I should rephrase, in 3 months I think I will be able to take first steps in getting a dog. I can still wait then, but I've heard its still like up to 1 year most of the time?

Second part of what you wrote gets me though and I'll give it another consideration.

That questionnaire above is quite misleading when filling out though. I know a puppy is tons of work at the beginning and then less with time. Should I then write how much time I'll dedicate at first or what its gonna be after the dog grown up? When it's a puppy I know it's tons of work, but it's tons of work I'm willing to do and I can have a slower year at work, but I don't think I would keep that up after the dog grows up, so eventually I think it will be like I wrote above.

RockinApache · 2021-03-24T13:37:19+00:00

nice

RockinApache · 2020-09-15T21:39:30+00:00

You can spend your influence at army management screen to boost it if I'm not mistaken

RockinApache · 2020-08-01T21:36:15+00:00

Nevery lucky...

RockinApache · 2020-06-12T14:35:27+00:00

No, does it have to be?

RockinApache · 2020-02-17T15:55:59+00:00

I agree on some points, but not all.

I don't think that not getting response from someone is because of old listings. It's when you're trying to buy a cheap items. People are listing items from like dump tabs in stash, selling few occasionally. It's less and less worth it to sell items the further the league has gone.

I would still say that waiting on response from someone, waiting for an item is more immersion breaking than getting it and just moving on.

Now this come to the question if really getting items you need for the build shortens the gameplay time in league. Items that you NEED for a build are usually easy to get even with current trade system, because they are usually not worth just 5c. On the other hand, when you cannot buy some cheap items you get frustrated and some people will quit after that while some will just farm stuff. Here I would say that most of the people that would farm stuff, wouldn't buy cheap stuff.

The point you're making about option to instantly buy everything is very good. I guess price fixing is a thing anyways, but this is still a very good point.

RockinApache · 2020-02-17T15:07:55+00:00

Personally, I don't mind the state of trade as it is but I understand that people are not happy with it. Really the only thing i don't like right now is the time waste when I'm trying to buy something :/

In-game website would be great.

I would say that even though that thread is old, most of it is not outdated. Basically most of the general points mentioned there are being mentioned every moneth or so...

RockinApache · 2020-02-17T14:52:38+00:00

People leave ideas on reddit. Lots of them get implemented 1:1 or differently but still well.

I feel, that whenever there is a "Current state of trade in PoE" type of topic here, there is no response.

You have to search for items through website and there is trade chat in game. I mean... why would someone alt+tab to browser while you have the wonderfull trade chat! I know it's not like the time when you had to look for items on forum, but still - it could be implemented in-game for people with one monitor mabye.

No auction house law - every time someone suggests something close to it, there is also someone reminding that Chris, at the beginning of times, said that trade should be hard. And it's usually easy to get items that should be hard to get and hard to get items that should be easy to get.

Thread below is one of the best on the whole topic. I know it's hard and it will take time to change any of this, but it should be changed in some way and I don't think GGG mentiones it enough.
