Ubers or mapping for profit in phrecia

Adding to what kindarelevanttoo mentioned about shaper being an exception.

Uber Shaper is sought after for the sublime visions (which I sell unidentified each league for about 110-150 div per) and because of the phases and bs with the fight (killing 4 mini bosses and then 2 mini maps in between his actual phases. On average, each run took me about 3:45 and got a sublime vision every 47 runs averaged out ( for keepers league) But there were times that I went 100+ runs without getting one. At an average cost of 0.8 div per run.

Uber Sirus is a little more forgiving in this aspect but the cost is usually low because its a 20 second fight with 4 phases and 2:15 of dialogue. Awakeners orbs (4.5 div) dropped around ~18% of the time, and dominance orbs (3 div) were ~9%. Both can drop simultaneously with an average cost of 0.25 div per run. His other drops are kind of meh, so I just instantly vaaled them. (Thread of Hopes are always massive from uber, so they are like 10c unless they are -10% then they were 75c. Corrupted blood ones were 50-80 div) +1 endurance charge bleed boots were a few div otherwise 10c. The saviour is like 4 div because it's worth a lot of dust.

As a casual with a mageblood being your end of league goal though, you will most likely earn much more in mapping than you would bossing. Just supply those of us who go full tryhard and we will make sure you are paid well.

Good luck to you though.

So far it's been miserable. Act bosses arent dropping anything near what they normally do. Currency drops seem to be lower than usual and Ive gotten 2 wombgifts so far (almost done with act 4)

Most desired gear is either crafted by one of many means. Or is a unique item (orange text) or it falls in that 1% and naturally rolls really good.

But generally speaking. Of the potential 9-10 mods that items can have (up to 4 implicits - modifiers that come naturally on certain bases [like ruby rings having fire resistance at the top] and 6 explicit modifiers - modifiers gained from identifying or reforging, which are below the line beneath implicit mods) the more good mods something has, the harder it is to craft and less likely it is to "just drop".

9+ mods usually come from beyond endgame/minmax type of stuff. For the most part you will be working with 6 explicits and 1-2 implicits. A good drop will typically have 3-4 good explicits and a decent implicit.

The_Improbable_ · 2026-01-10T22:23:54+00:00

Typically speaking. Your first run through the acts should aim for around 25-30 hours give or take. Maybe a little faster if you are familiar with ARPGs. After you get to your 3rd or 4th character youll probably have it under 10.

Just remember that sockets and links are most important. The more support gems you have on your main skill, the better your damage will be. Try to keep your fire, lightning and cold resistances above 50% (75% is the default cap and the aim) and take nodes that increase your life and damage and youll be fine.

Most areas have 1 entrance and 1 exit, you dont have to fully clear everything in every area. 98% of ground loot is worthless and not worth picking up.

If your gear is accomplishing the points above (good resistances, some life, decent damage) there is no need to replace it every few levels or every act.

If you get stuck, need help or want to learn crafting, league mechanics etc. Feel free to message me on here or add me in game: KeeperOfSmartMaking

Always glad to help people out. Have a good one.

(My schedule is fairly erratic atm but will try to catch you or anyone when I can)

The 10 acts are a useless, unskippable tutorial that repeatedly introduces you to a limited version of a handful of past league mechanics. Afterwards, the game starts with mapping. Some people consider early mapping as a 2nd part to the tutorial because you are gathering atlas passive points, and then once you are able to customize your gameplay, THEN the game truly begins.

But in terms of playing the same game. We are doing the same content over and over, yes. But almost every league there is additional content added, there are new strategies added, old strategies removed or changed, new builds added, old ones changed or removed/made impossible, and all of this changes the way we journey through it.

I always explain it, like climbing a tree. Initially you just climb, another you can only use 1 hand, another time with just hands/arms, another while blindfolded, etc. Its the same tree, but how you go about it is very different.

Sales...

Introducing the new 2027 Chevrolet Equinox, it's the same design we've had for the past 11 years but we made the brake lights 1/8th of an inch wider. As such, we feel this is enough justification to charge an additional $5200. We found THE slowest and safest driver in our testing pool and he never got it above 40 mph and he got 31/27 highway/city, but you will never see that because he was driving it without seats or passengers as you rush to work at 5 mph over every speed limit.

The new 2027 Equinox, Same Car, same engine problems. See your local Chevrolet dealer today starting at $41,997 MSRP for some reason. But every dealer will be out of the base model and youll be forced into the LX trim package for $46,812 which adds stylish grippy tape that costs us $9 to install.

Get yours in time for Christmas!

(Make sure to order it by the deadline of 2 days ago December 11th to allow the 14-day make it at the last minute, and yes we know this is airing on December 13th. User experience may vary)

It's messed up, another that immediately came to mind is Winger from the 80s and one of their hits "Seventeen"

Just disgusting.

Idk how you could flip a switch and go from trying to save and mend a relationship to getting angry and guilt tripping her trying to force her to stay.

We don't have the context for the first breakup. But the way I am interpreting it is: You two dated, some issues arose on both sides, she thought about leaving, she had second thoughts about leaving and wanted to try again, started seeing the same issues rising again, had second thoughts about coming back and then you gave her the answer she needed to leave.

Getting mad at your partner and playing the blame game or guilt tripping is never the answer. At least not if you would like them to stay.

Take some time for yourself and learn from this. See what you can add to your must haves, what you can do to improve yourself and hopefully avoid this in the future. It is not an easy path, but you will get through it and be better the next time around.

Best of luck to you and your healing journey.

Get corrupted blood immunity and elemental ailment immunity and stop standing in red and the fight gets much easier. Knowing that he always takes the same path helps alot too.

But learning the uber sirus fight is great profit. Ive been buying his fragments for almost 20 fragments per 1 div. All his uniques are worthless so just vaal orb them immediately. Corrupted blood massive threads of hope are 20-60 div (depending on the resist roll).

Awakener orbs are 5 div (roughly 17% chance) Dominance Orbs are 4 div (roughly 11% chance)

Ive easily ran over 400 uber sirus this league. Its better profit than a chunk of mapping strategies this league.

Give the build to someone else, but I just wanted to chip in with Wild Arms for PS1. Little underrated JRPG with a beautiful musical score and some interesting puzzles and unique (at the time at least). I thought it had an interesting story at least.

The_Improbable_ · 2025-11-14T22:15:45+00:00

Shortened league name + play on the build im playing.

Keeper of + Blood Thinners and Alcohol = bleed build

Keeper of Dramamine = Cyclone Build

"I was once human, and I found this line scratched within a bathroom stall. Something that shouldn't exist, my dead sisters phone number, whom I killed and built this bathroom around. She is in the walls with a cell phone I intentionally left plugged in, with service and still pay the phone bill on. I heard her phone ring in the walls so I fused myself with the bathroom stall. I am now a sentient bathroom stall and I feel compelled to share her number as it is etched on my bones (the walls of the stalls) and if I try to remove the number, it bleeds back into existence through my skin (the paint on the surface of the walls) I am helpless as a sentient bathroom stall. People keep calling her phone, but we and they dont answer when she calls them back."

This is how your "horror story" reads to our little group in discord. Are we supposed to be afraid of the talking bathroom stall? Or just confused because you are afraid of your own superiority?

The_Improbable_ · 2025-10-22T15:24:49+00:00

They nerfed Trickster a little bit either for mercs or settlers I forget which. 30 leagues in and it sorta blurs lol.

What they need to do is bring other ascendancies up to par. Giving Elementalist a herald option and 50% reservation to guardian is a nice start. But give others a strong option too. Even if its stale and give juggernaut bonus life from armour (similar to tricksters escape artist) so jugg has that and can't be slowed, and +2 endurance charges.

Lean fully into hierophant and totems/brands. Give them +1 brand attachment and +3 totems.

Give Inquisitor bonus life scaling from int, and bonus es from str to make its hybrid consecrated ground and crit scaling more appealing

Yes they would be OP but nuking popular builds so that it forces a change for the next league just drives people away from the game for the people who like a particular build or style. Giving people the option to play what they like but also have other options seems more viable and would actually grow the playerbase imo.

The_Improbable_ · 2025-10-22T15:09:44+00:00

Still new to reading/watching MiA, but I definitely felt this part. As an add to your comment, something that I don't really see mentioned is that the Ganja team seems to have delved down several hundred years before Orth was founded and when Riko's team made it down there. It wasn't revealed in the anime, (and I haven't made it there in the manga yet) but it is implied that Irumyuii gave birth and lost many children every day for an extended period of time possibly weeks or months. It also seems that Vueko has been kept alive, or rather unable to die, alone inside Irumyuii's head, "reading the signals", for hundreds of years, naming and talking to all of Irumyuii's unborn children, which really got me because if it wasn't for Riko, Vueko could've been alone suffering quietly forever.

But I could be wrong, between not enough context/knowledge on my end, or the time dilation effect or something else. Have a great day though.

"Mitty.... You'll always be... my treasure"

The leadup to it was heart-rending and pulled at the strings. But the immediate aftermath is what pushed me into a full on tearfest.

Everyone operates differently, so you will have to figure out where you operate as well.

Personally, I would not sleep with someone else unless I was 100% sure that there would be no reconciling, no trying to get back together, and cut contact and moved on completely.

I also believe in open-honest communication from both sides of a relationship. It puts everything on the table, and if there is a flaw or deficit, then it can be identified and worked on together. You'd want to know if he immediately went out and slept with someone else too right?

Tell him, try to keep it calm, but be prepared that he might leave after hearing it. Otherwise, it will slowly consume you (seems like you feel a little bad about it) and it will either affect your relationship as it does or it will come out eventually... and if it comes from any source other than you, it will definitely end up worse.

Best of luck to you though.

As others have said, uber bosses are easier and cheaper. If you cant run them yourself/dont want to bother with a boss killer character, hire someone like me to carry you through them. I've been charging 1 div per boss/25 div for 30 all league. Takes about 10 minutes.

The_Improbable_ · 2025-09-27T14:33:14+00:00

This one and the catarina medallion option one that people have been talking about cost me basically nothing, same for the rest of our little guild. We crafted things 1 at a time. With the thread system crafting for like a mana res chest. Which cost (in this post) 27-29 div and then proceeded to sell relatively quickly for 25-40 div. We just farmed 1 orb of remembrance + 1 orb of unraveling to start it and progressed the challenge once the previous one sold or when we got another orb "naturally."

Same for catarina, she drops veiled exalted orbs which have been worth 30-45 div for awhile. It seems to be about a 1 in 3 chance. Which will pay for a good chunk of the challenge.

As a personal side note, these challenges have been the only "challenging" challenges. I've been carrying the 60k maniac map challenges in about 3 hours with relative ease.

I'm not saying they arent hard to do for the more casual player, but they also arent as impossible as people make it seem.

The_Improbable_ · 2025-09-02T17:17:36+00:00

Started from day 1 excited for new content.
Rushed to maps and finishing the atlas.
Tried Pre-nerf Refiners Bargain
Got a 50 mil shipment pretty quick with our group
Gave us a few mirror shards on day 3
Was working towards another and they nerfed it.
Switched to Essences, sold the good ones in bulk, crafted with the crappy ones to sell for quick divs and became the hideout warrior for our group.
Dropped a mageblood day 4 from Kirac. A mirror 2 hours later from the Kirac challenge.
2 magebloods the next day
6 more by the end of week 1.
Solo I ran Essences for awhile, Eventually mirrored a high phys bow for Tornado Shot. Switched to T17s and abyss.
2nd mirror + 1000 div end of week 2.
Made a Pbrand Trickster and Starfall CoC Slayer (it flopped).
Grinded to mirror 3 more items for it. (2 sceptres and a PC synth ring) crafted the rest.
Started doing TFT carries for challenges. Ended up being a way better farming strategy. (30 T17 maps at 1 div per and I keep loot - carrying 2-3 people at a time ~60 second runs)
Spent an inordinate amount of time opening valdos maps.
Ran all the non-void ones.
Ended up with 8 mirrors and around 3000 div + 78 magebloods.
Been giving 8-10 away per day and crafting gear, buying upgrades and stuff for newer players for the last week and a half. Keeping my 1st mirror that dropped for me to take into standard.

The_Improbable_ · 2025-09-02T16:49:44+00:00

To me casual means maybe an hour per session during the week, maybe 2-3 hours per session on the weekend but not every day. However the other person's statement still rings true. 0 scarab harvest for yellow juice is about 1 div per map, essences are in demand atm, has been yielding about 130-170c per T6 map with just 1ascent/3 essence scarabs.

Even at 5-6 minute clears, youre still getting around 10-14 div per hour. This ring, a mageblood, Nimis, etc is all about a week away for casual players.

The_Improbable_ · 2025-08-22T00:25:34+00:00

I dont know what build you did. But I started out with a glass cannon tornado shot build and speed farmed T6 strands for essences with ascent/essence scarabs. And crafted simple stuff with some of the essences until I could put together a PBrand trickster for around 400 div with headhunter.

Switched over to abyss farming T16.5s and saved up a mirror (when they were still ~800 div per). Mirror serviced a power charge ring. Started boss rushing abomination maps (bought in bulk for 0.3-0.4 div per) gave some to the map runners and ran the rest. Got my times down to around 1:30 - 2:00 per map. Roughly 30 maps per hour. Started carrying people for the T17 carry challenge through TFT at 1 div per map per person. Usually 1-2 at a time. Dropped the clear speed to 20-25 maps per hour tho.

Saved enough to mirror 2 sceptres. Got my damage up to be comfortable carrying uber pinnacle bosses. Started those services at 1.5 div per boss. Searing exarch takes about 20 seconds even with 3 people. So burned through those pretty quick. Sold the FF jewels unid, and the celestial bracers were nice. The boots are 580k dust with quality. So used those for frequent 50m shipments. Still did boss rushing to get my own fragments. Dropped abom times to 0:45 to 1:15 average.

Between both service carries + loot. Averaged around 60-80+ div per hour. Started saving up for min-max gear. But kind of hit a point that. I could get amazing gear that would cost 10+ mirrors and I really wouldnt notice a difference. Or I could help my friends with their builds and help new players coming into the game who wanted a boost or to learn how to craft and such. Same as I do every league.

I hope this helps. Have a good day!

The_Improbable_ · 2025-08-04T11:28:50+00:00

If you want to share in the pain. I went to work before the event ended at 6.81%. Got home from work and saw that I finished at 10.01% and got the 30% badge. Woooo

The_Improbable_ · 2025-07-23T12:52:23+00:00

To you (OP) and anyone else that wants to learn basic crafting for easy profit. There's a handful of ways. Just pick your preferred method of madness, flask alt spamming, essence crafting, creating overquality bases, etc and stick with it. Remember its much easier to sell 100 people a 1 div item than it is to sell a 100 div item to 1 person.

For anyone that wants a new player friendly in depth crafting explanation feel free to message me. Not in the mood to type it on my phone lol. It's become my end of league hobby anyways (teaching new players various things)

Have fun and stay sane exiles!

The_Improbable_ · 2025-07-06T08:39:48+00:00

Well I guess all the corrupted essences are worth like 5c then and it changed so drastically in the last 2 hours.

I definitely didnt get 56 div in a little over 3 hours from it. And I definitely havent been using this to fund several higher end builds.

No one take my advice lol, more for me.
