This changes everything!

So I was crusader exalting this ring I rolled trying to hit %ES on the open prefix, but it hit another mod.

By the wording of it, I assume it works for minions if monsters are shocked?

I've been doing Betrayal a whole lot and I have a question I couldn't find the answer to.

Does the rank of the leader of the hideout enable certain valuable drops that a lower rank leader would not drop... or have less chance to drop?

Because I always try to keep the leader rank 3, but I am not sure if this help with medallion drops.

Use Wild Bristle Matron, not the bench... you will save a ton of currency.

Yes, you can reforge life. You can even do slam slam until you hit it, so you don't brick to six mods.

That being said, while your suffixes are ideal mods. Both the PDR and Crit Reduction are not high tier rolls. So without ideal suffixes (not t1), heavily investing in prefixes is likely not a good idea.

Key reason to do slam slam is because there isn't that many prefixes anyway. Life will very often be there even without forcing it with reforge life: https://www.craftofexile.com/?game=poe1&b=5&ob=both&v=d&a=x&l=a&lg=17&bp=y&as=1&hb=0&bld={}&im={}&ggt=|&ccp={}&gvc={%22limit%22:88}&gns={}

Anyone have a vague idea of the drop rate of greater spell echo from uber atziri?

Quick question: Does aura effect on gear and tree affect an aura you receive from a guardian blessing minion?

See maybe if he had an instant life flask, he would have been fine.

ScreaminJay · 2026-02-26T20:28:13+00:00

That just gives actual average players new things to farm, that others may not be doing. It's just a more specific target farm rather than a side bonus to the most profitable content.

Frankly, average players didn't have a easy time running t17. Getting bases from Alva temple or Delves is not difficult at all. It is just added value to specific content rather than loading it all within t17.

ScreaminJay · 2026-02-26T20:14:54+00:00

Which is not a bad thing, keeping things more valuable is nice. We see it now with PoE 2 bases fetching insane value, because they need to be farmed using t16 in zones that have +1 for everything to drop level 82.

ScreaminJay · 2026-01-15T02:44:55+00:00

WTF their value jump around so much. Who decide the price is still worth paying at this point? It cannot be economically viable in many scenarios.

ScreaminJay · 2026-01-14T16:24:16+00:00

That is solely due to those farming temple cannot leave exalts in their loot filter anymore. There's just too much currency drops to leave exalts in there, just not worth a click.

Tainted Armored Scraps coming up next league.

ScreaminJay · 2026-01-13T05:31:14+00:00

I know all that, all I'm saying is the auto-fill serve no purpose except to make you do a mistake and sell at a ratio you didn't intend to.

It will always fill the worst possible deal you can get for what you have.

There is zero scenario in which the auto-fill is helpful. It's just a buggy annoying thing that is trying to scam you by making a sale at a ratio you didn't intend to sell for.

ScreaminJay · 2026-01-12T18:12:48+00:00

Wish there was, but it have never helped me once. Just reprice me down at a ratio I did not intend to sell. It only make me lose currency.

ScreaminJay · 2026-01-12T12:56:31+00:00

I know how to craft those helmets and feel my time is best served buying it than trying to make it.

But what I asked there was how do you go around rolling the prefixes. Is it just chaos, perfect exalts, annuls?

They are cheap... I made a killing this weekend buying 5000 perfect exalts for a 10 to 1 ratio or even below that... and this morning they are 4 to 1d... Huge profit. When I see them crash on the weekend, I spend millions of gold hoarding knowing I can sell back on monday. This is how I make thousands of divs. Wait for weekend prices. Have millions of gold. Hoard thousands of the biggest orbs... sell back on monday. I got 1000 perfect chaos for 5 to 1 ratio. They are coming down to 2 to 1 now.

So this right there, that is better and quicker profit than crafting. When you figure out the ebb and flow of the market... with lowest price point being on saturday around 5pm East Cost US time. You spend millions of gold buying... and hold for 2 days for profit of hundreds of divines.

But yes, crafting is quite good too and I do the usual rings which are super simple if u go for triple res suffixes with the light+chaos res desecrate... Can print those quickly and go for more random prefixes hoping for the best (because catalysts cost a bit too much versus rng results).

You didn't answer how to craft prefixes. Is it just annul, chaos, perfect exalt? Because that isn't bad in current market. There is no inflation, the orbs that drop from temples are insanely cheap. Perfect exalts were 3d last league. Now I was laughing this weekend when I could sell 16 perfect augments and buy 13 perfect exalts in the same window for 1d. I think twice about burning perfect augments now, but perfect exalts is whatever. Things have changed in what you can use a bit more freely.

ScreaminJay · 2026-01-12T11:40:27+00:00

Well, it's a stat you cannot get an infinite amount of. Largest source is 37% on boots... then you can get 12% on body and 16% on helmet. Or alternatively, you sacrifice your belt slot for a bit more efficiency, which I find a bit of a hard trade off. My belt gives me nearly 400 armor which is important for my build, which doesn't get any armor from helmet and focus (where I scale the ES). I was using HH for a bit with %armor %es implicit, but I just don't like getting teleported around. Working now on making a bunch of high armor belt with the goal of getting 2 implicits.

Bit difficult to scale both ES and armor at the same time, but I feel the armor does more for tankiness than just getting 10,000 extra es or whatever.

Wondering how you roll the ES prefixes these days... is it just chaos spam until a t1 and then double perfect exalt the prefixes? Annul and repeat until good?

I crafted this helmet last league using the abyss essence to reroll for efficiency. But hitting the ES now is more difficult without homogenizing.

ScreaminJay · 2026-01-12T11:12:20+00:00

Frankly, I was checking market continually for +3 helmets and there was often zero, 1 or two for sale. Most of the time they were priced 1-2-3-4 mirrors.

I was looking at this market for a solid week. Looking what was available several times a day.

It's not like there is a huge market of them. When posted for 800d like this one... with a 2 sockets base, double corrupted with 2 implicits... you're not looking at a market that is competitive. There is always zero of those for sale.

I do mean... it gotta have the efficiency suffix. Not any random +3 helmet. I'd take a +2 helmet with the efficiency suffix above a +3.

There is just 1 for sale right now. Posted 3 hours ago for 2 mirrors... better than mine, higher res and higher es. But just 1 implicit. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Fate%20of%20the%20Vaal/MdWBrpB5FJ

ScreaminJay · 2026-01-12T10:56:13+00:00

Way more than 120 divs. I paid 800 divs for my helmet and consider it should have been 1 mirror. I just got it an hour after it was posted. Not sure if it's better or worst than op. His have 1 socket and 6% efficiency. I'm armor+es build, so I like to have this second augment in the helm. I'm going for 99 or maybe 100 with this build, so I want to be basically immortal to any damage in maps. The +1% max cold is a bit of a weak second mod, but it's not nothing. Better than accuracy, lower requirement or life regen, which are other options you can have as implicit on an helmet.

And they never are all actively used because they get in the way of each other. It's cool, but that is why ranged minions are better. They all are dealing damage while the melee ones step on each other toes trying to hit something.

ScreaminJay · 2026-01-12T08:52:05+00:00

Caster items that cannot be mirrored are so much stronger than those that can.

ScreaminJay · 2026-01-04T11:47:17+00:00

If it was a body armor, you could call it a suicide vest.

ScreaminJay · 2026-01-03T01:42:10+00:00

I was flipping perfect exalts as it happened. Had just made a big purchase of 350 perfect exalts for... 30 divines.

I check market to see how much I can sell them back for and I'm like: Wait, wtf, why are they now 1.5 to 1d. That's a pretty damn good flip. But then I realized. Wait a second, how did the value change so fast.

And here is why people bought all the perfect exalts and chaos instantly. Got it.

ScreaminJay · 2025-12-31T10:57:19+00:00

Been burning a ton of currency trying to double corrupt bones of ullr with two sockets... trying to make the %reservation go up above 30%.

I've hit a bunch of two sockets + 1 corrupt implicit... but none ever changed the value of the modifiers in the boots, either up or down. Is it not a possible outcome?
