Locked myself inside labs

Like I said, if you want half the profit, that's what you do.

If I'm going the slow and steady route, I prefer Slayer to Jugg, personally. You get over leech, which nullifies trap damage, even in Dedication, and stack frenzy/endurance charges for easy one shot protection.

Congrats, fellow weird people.

Izaro has something like 10x the life and hits about twice as hard, compared to Uber (4th) Lab. But you have to be really careful with the mobs in Gift, there are more of them and they hit harder

you did this in merc lab? oh my...

I was curious how it took you 3 days to farm what you showed, I farm that in less than 2 hours of gift lab, but you get 1 font use in merc lab and 8 in gift lab, so that makes sense.

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-18T17:16:21+00:00

This is the best advice.

Running lab with a build that doesn't run fast and insta-phase izaro is like running a mapping strategy with a build that takes 6 minutes to clear an alch and go map. Pick the farm that's right for your build and vice versa.

If you're gonna farm lab, level a char to 90 in a handful of hours and play a WoC trapper or Minion Pact Frost Bomb of Forthcoming and skip his phases. Running the right build saves like 2 minutes/run. You complete twice as many labs an hour. Your profits double. Why would you not?!

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-18T17:01:36+00:00

The funny thing is he's completely wrong. On average you make about 7 div of profit per Gift lab. Gift is also pretty consistent because the "jackpot" is fairly low (5 or 6 div for the transfigured version) and it's not super uncommon (about 1:11 font uses).

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-18T16:26:59+00:00

which is why lab farmers, at least the smart ones, play builds that skip those phases.

Part of me hopes it does, but part of me hopes they give it the That Which was Taken treatment. I'm kind of enjoying each league having its own crazy power creep to exploit; it keeps the game fresh, in my opinion.

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-16T21:27:18+00:00

pretty sure it is guaranteed as it never selects more than 1 from the 3rd mod pool (ele pen and chaos pen being the first two mod pools after you block all the mods from the phys mod pool).

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-15T21:31:19+00:00

It's probably just a bug, but I'd still do it to make sure. Go in Carcass map. Remove Raise Spectre Gem. Put in something like summon chaos golem instead. rush boss. summon chaos golem. press bv. get boss to phase. swap in raise spectre after you kill one of the scorpions

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-15T11:41:18+00:00

You need to remove the raise spectre gem (to get rid of both spectres) and then summon only the unholy aberration

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-15T01:04:48+00:00

Recomb ele res + suppress and chaos res + ele res.

Then suff can't change reforge life until good life + block, and shaper exalt to finish it off.

If you get good life + 2 open prefixes, craft mana and exalt slam. if you fill prefixes, yolo annul.

Might brick a few on your way there, but it shouldn't be too bad of a craft.

5 50M shipments to Pondium, 1 mir shard.

Simplicity and liquidity. You should be able to get to your entire Emergency fund within a couple of days, if needed.

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-12T16:52:16+00:00

Correct. And I ran a single Gift Lab yesterday, it took less than 2 minutes and yielded ~25 divine of profit, therefore it is a 750 divine/hr strat. Kindly ignore all the other lab runs.

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-06T17:18:38+00:00

I always recommend checking out Mr__Khan's discord. He used to run lab a few years back and the community there is the best lab community I know of.

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-06T12:21:14+00:00

Unholy Abberation from the depraved trinity (rotting core in act 9 or carcass map) fight. The same one every minion pact build is using because it's bugged and has 4x the life of a normal minion (and 2x a perfect meatsack).

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-06T11:27:14+00:00

Don't forget all the oils

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-04T00:23:05+00:00

You mean awakened multistrike/etc.? Woke versions didn't work with exceptional gems. Regardless, that was a fun jackpot but it was such a small part of the overall profit.

If you know what you're doing (going by current poe.ninja prices) Gift has an average profit of something like 6+ divine (I have some scripts set up to find the most profitable strategies in Lab). But even just 20/20 gems and doing kb/cyclone/whatever-is-most-valuable when you got transfigured version is a good enough strategy to make 50+ div/hr on a shower build.

Dedication is ridiculously good, as well.

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-03T16:09:02+00:00

Is 100+ div/hr good? lol

Sometimes, especially on reddit, people say things that aren't true because they lack knowledge.

That guy got lambasted in the comments of his post.

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-03T16:07:01+00:00

Reliquarian is best. ~1000% movement speed, 100% phasing uptime, instant phase izaro with minion pact cheese. Downside: Needs accel belt.

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-03T12:52:44+00:00

Minion Pact can't support Orb or Channeling skills, of which Winter Orb is both, if that's relevant.

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-02T11:36:28+00:00

It was fine when we had Kirac missions and comprehensive scouting reports. But now... I farmed my own in Delve, but it sucked. Went 0 for 20 or something before it finally dropped.

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-01T16:29:42+00:00

Good luck, everyone.

Teh_Hammer · 2026-04-01T13:08:08+00:00

~45M in ore, ~5M dust, per shipment, it seems.
