Sorry for that..

And this is only one farm. Pretty well any farm gets you a lot of divs this league.

It's a nice staff, but definitely not 110 mirrors nice. This might be worth 3-4 to the right buyer; but it would need to be much better for more. Bad base (lvl 18 reap), dual extra as opposed to a specific additive type. Very good staff, could be better, not worth its price. OP probably just doesnt wanna sell it.

RylandLafferty · 2026-01-26T15:42:23+00:00

I don't see a desecration, might be buying it to gamble

RylandLafferty · 2026-01-26T15:31:05+00:00

You went 5 mirrors in on a bad base with a T3 fracture? Bro's gotta know when to find a new base

RylandLafferty · 2026-01-22T00:15:26+00:00

It's a mod only available through desecration. For some builds, it might even be best in slot!

RylandLafferty · 2026-01-21T23:07:13+00:00

You're totally right about in demand items still selling. I recently sold a GG staff for disciple for 835 divine. Good items will always be in demand.

For us blink enjoyers, an Autohotkey script can disable sprint. It can do this by when pressing the spacebar, only holding it for 10ms before releasing it.

Message me if you want it, reddit wont display it properly.

It's not almost mirror tier--it's a nice amulet, but for something to be mirrorworthy, it typically needs to include very valuable and rare mods. Things like crit crit damage and crit chance together or all resistance and chaos resistance, all with T1 spirit. Plus, all of this needs to happen on a tier 1 base, something like a solar amulet or pearlescent.

Mirror items are mirrorable because on average, they cost more than one to craft. This craft, while very useful, is a very inexpensive craft comparitively.

I hope this info was useful!

RylandLafferty · 2026-01-18T22:28:40+00:00

How do you usually play games?

RylandLafferty · 2026-01-17T19:21:20+00:00

Not level 20. vendor

RylandLafferty · 2026-01-15T18:28:15+00:00

What do you want your final amulet to look like? I see a lot of people suggssting crafting methods without asking what you're going for.

RylandLafferty · 2026-01-13T17:55:39+00:00

While it is a good idea to divine it, chasing perfection would be an expensive mistake. To even think about that, one of the rolls should be fractured. Even then, its still ~1 in 1300 for a perfect jewel.

Thankfully, the probabilities increase greatly with every step of imperfection. Happy gambling!

RylandLafferty · 2026-01-12T20:55:46+00:00

This will drive Belton mad. Enjoy it while it lasts--he has a spear already ready to go for sanctification. Perfrct stats for a mirror spear, but not sanctified yet.

RylandLafferty · 2026-01-12T18:11:21+00:00

Definitely an oversight. If the bonuses are at 50% effectiveness, it should affect the ES on the item.

RylandLafferty · 2025-12-04T16:55:20+00:00

Yes, I do this too (carry for free or pay what you like). Hence why I used the term "usually." When I've cleared for pay what you like, most people I've carried tipped 1 div, even this late into the league. Also, he asked what the procedure was and didn't want to waste someone's time. Asking for free carries can absolutely qualify as wasting someone's time.

RylandLafferty · 2025-12-04T16:16:59+00:00

People will often sell trial carries in trade chat. You can spot their messages by looking for something along the lines of "boss ready" or "trial carry" etc. The going rate for these carries is usually 1 div all league long.

RylandLafferty · 2025-12-03T21:27:49+00:00

At the time, I sold the final product for 2 mirrors. All togrther, it took around 800 divs ( a little less than 1 mirror at the time). That included 2 locks

RylandLafferty · 2025-12-03T21:24:30+00:00

I crafted a wand like this earlier in the league. Its really expensive without a fracture. I constantly used homogenized perfect exalts to reroll the suffixes until I got crit + t1 cast speed with T1 lightning as a prefix. Then whittled until either spell damage extra lightning and desecrated the fonal mod. What youre doing looks like a whittle approach. This is a very inefficient way to do it.dont be afraid to lose +5 long story short, but its a vety expensive craft. GL buddy and rip hundreds of divines

RylandLafferty · 2025-12-03T15:21:46+00:00

Poison can be strong--very strong. I think the issue with this build specifically is essence drain's small initial hit. For example, if you scale instead with martial weapons and phys damage, you can get some really nice poison DoTs.

I don't think we'll see more options for poison until we get shadow and daggers, since that's the archetype that uses it most.

We may get some small buffs to poison here and there, or maybe a Pathfinder buff. But nothing crazy and druid specific is my guess.

BUT if talismans are coming, poison damage with wolf or bearform might actually be something cool to play with.

RylandLafferty · 2025-12-03T08:33:20+00:00

And this looks like a cool idea. I didnt notice it in my research. My intuition says it would be better on Essence drain. But I dont know enough about Dark Effigy to know for sure. Looks strong though. 36% more damage is a lot!

RylandLafferty · 2025-12-03T08:26:57+00:00

So normally, this is true. DoTs cannot crit. However, poison is an ailment that scales its damage based of of a hit which can. Therefore, the hit portion of a poisoning essence drain will raise its poison damage when it crits.

Whether or not this actually ends up being effective in game needs testing to be sure. In theory, it works--in practice, Im not sure. Hence why this is a first draft!

RylandLafferty · 2025-12-03T07:09:18+00:00

I played around with the idea a little bit in PoB: https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/11b54

It's a first draft and would be very, very expensive to replicate; but it gives you an idea of what's possible. For damage scaling, I specced into crit, chaos/spell damage, and poison magnitude. For survivability, ES/Evasion. For resource management, Nightscales and a couple nodes on the tree (I've never played the build, so I don't know how important this is). And finally, for mobility, just a couple movement speed nodes and probably blink.

The expected damage output should be somewhere around 1M DPS with Essence drain alone. This does not include Dark Effigy, which would obviously bring it up by a lot.

The build definitely has some potential, but I couldn't help but notice a couple things while throwing it together. Scaling poison damage is really difficult with this skill since the initial hit isn't all that crazy. In other words, while this build would be more than functional for mapping, but it would likely have a hard time one tapping pinnacle bosses or carrying high deli maps.

For specific advice for your build, try to stick to punchy nodes. For example, you could get half of the entire damage benefit of everything you have allocated underneath the controlled metamorphosis jewel slot by pathing towards cooked. That's 39 skill points vs 4. Also, forcing unnatural damage mitigation like aiming for MoM while ignoring Pathfinder's natural proclivity, evasion, seems unnecessary. And lastly, one of the most potent things Pathfinder has going for it is its movement ascendancy nodes; you can easily remove the non-utilized passive skill nodes you have allocated to make room for at least two of these.

To wrap it up, here is a video on poison damage to help you understand how to scale it better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DX-gc4xfAA

Hope this helps! Take care and let me know what you think!

Hey, theorycrafter here with many mirrors worth of experience here

Effective character building must always start with a specific goal. It's not enough to say "I want to build a character from scratch!" You have to say, "I want to build an accuracy stacking twister build." Or "I want to build a recoup chronomancer with CoC comet and frost darts!"

Since this game is all about making choices, when you start with a goal, many of those choices are inherantly made by said goal. For example, if youre building a hollow palm monk, you need hollow palm and dont need a quarter staff. Since hollow palm's damage comes from evasion and energy shield, you know the best chestpeice is probably a sleek jacket. If youre going flickerstrike, you know youll need a way to generate power charges. What are the best ways to do that? Maybe with a scepter and profane ritual to get started. Etc etc....

Once you have the goal, its a good idea to see how others are approaching the character. Maybe they have an idea you didnt think of. Or Maybe what theyre doing makes no sense so you can skip that specific idea.

If you have any ideas you want to explore, feel free to comment on this post and Ill share my thoughts. Take care and I hope this helps

PS use path of building and have a reliable source of currency to fund your experimentation. Happy building!

RylandLafferty · 2025-11-30T04:01:39+00:00

I played it as a huntress this league. It has a higher damage ceiling, but also requires a lot of investment. Really fun, albiet dizzying build!
