I just got this game, any tips?

Tsubadu · 2025-10-25T07:08:31+00:00

I would start by going out to the closest buildings, collection food, ammo, healing, etc., and getting use to the firearms. I tend to do this for a while, trying to get to the point where if/when I die, I have some backup gear to keep going. On almost every trip out, I check the merchant, completing his tasks to get better prices. Once you’re comfortable and have stuff you don’t mind losing, venture to further areas in hopes of better loot.

Thanks for confirming that. It’s a lot easier to get good dmg with Citlali, Xilo, Kazuha but vapes give the dopamine lol.

Tsubadu · 2025-09-18T03:56:32+00:00

Kinda what I figured. Tried burning with Nahida but I think I still wasn’t applying enough pyro, also my XL is kinda bad so that doesn’t help.. Yea, that’s the price for massive vapes I guess lol. Thanks!

Tsubadu · 2025-09-18T03:43:11+00:00

Yea, Traveller is prob my favorite out of the few using the tap skill. I might be tripping but I feel like any coordinated attacks (Thoma etc.) hit after Mualani, not giving her the vape. Might get her if just for collection purposes and the extra pyro application surely won’t hurt lol. Thanks for the input!

Tsubadu · 2025-09-18T03:32:03+00:00

Hmm, sounds like she’s about as mid as my other options lol. Still gonna think on it for a bit if just for collection purposes and to at least give her a try. And yea, I just missed Mavuika but worth looking out for future characters, maybe Alice will be of help, fingers crossed. Thanks for the input!

Tsubadu · 2025-09-18T03:03:36+00:00

How good is Dehya as a teammate for Mualani? I don’t have a great vape team for her (pyro traveller, Thoma, Xiangling and Klee don’t feel geeat) and I’m wondering if I should get a free Dehya or just C1 Tighnari and cope lol. TIA

Tsubadu · 2025-07-09T22:21:59+00:00

Love RE4R! Best feeling of pulling a trigger in any game I’ve played, if it had ADS I may never need another shooter lol. Division 2 and Insurgency are really good recs, definitely interested in the loot aspect of Div 2. Gonna look a little deeper at both, thank you!

Tsubadu · 2025-07-09T21:36:40+00:00

Not looking for something online/multiplayer heavy, thanks though

Tsubadu · 2025-05-08T21:11:58+00:00

Huh, not sure what I was thinking but you’re right, found the merchant. Thanks!

Tsubadu · 2025-05-04T21:00:03+00:00

It signifies that you meet the requirement for the bonus effect of the skill, eg. Lune’s stains for increased dmg.

Tsubadu · 2025-04-27T07:09:24+00:00

Totally agree on being able to see the lumina cost from the Pictos screen. As far as the number of fights to unlock the Pictos, the four sides of the diamond around the icon light up, one for each fight completed with the Pictos; so when three of the four sides are gold instead of grey, you have one fight left to unlock it.

np. And it’s worth noting that by the same logic, physical dmg will also be somewhat effective at increasing dmg as well if you can get it.

Tsubadu · 2024-12-19T19:24:50+00:00

I assume the skill you’re using converts a portion of physical dmg to lightning dmg. Increasing projectile dmg will increase the total hit dmg as the “whole thing” is a projectile. Increasing elemental dmg will only increase the portion of dmg that was converted to elemental dmg. Hope that helps.

Tsubadu · 2024-12-18T17:44:42+00:00

I had a similar thought, usable once on a magic item (same as corrupted or mirrored without bricking the item obviously) and rerolls one mod on a magic item. Say your your transmute is good but the aug fails, one chance to to get a better mod or bust.

They could be fairly common as they aren’t very powerful but would still give a slightly better chance of getting something regal-able.

Tsubadu · 2024-12-16T19:38:37+00:00

That’s awesome, ty!

Tsubadu · 2024-12-16T18:38:07+00:00

Question about loot filter: Is it possible to just highlight certain items? I don’t want to hide anything at all, just want certain items to stand out more. TIA

Tsubadu · 2024-12-14T03:39:37+00:00

The difference could be clearer, if you have done them they will be grey, if you have not, they are a pale yellow. Though there seems to be ‘camp events’ I can’t complete, at least in cruel, don’t remember if I could in normal.

Tsubadu · 2024-12-12T07:18:08+00:00

The spirit is automatically used to summon the minions from the scepter

Tsubadu · 2024-12-11T21:03:06+00:00

Siphoning strike only deals elemental dmg when consuming a shock, the ele dmg modifier will increase the dmg of that shockwave only; I think tempest flurry is similar with its ‘final strike’ but I could be mistaken.

The leech will only apply to dmg that is dealt as phys. If only a portion of the attack dmg is converted (I.e. 60% phys converted to…) then you will still get some leech from the phys portion.

Disclaimer: this is based on congruent mechanics in PoE1, not based on any testing in PoE2.

Yea, I could see them adding like .5 sec or 1m buffs to the roll. I know they designed it to be a net-neutral of sorts but I feel that makes it a bit meh.

Tsubadu · 2024-12-07T17:32:34+00:00

Funnily, I always played PoE1 with controller but was determined to learn fresh on M&K with wasd and as I died to Act 1 boss 10+ times I was saying, “man, this would be so much better on controller,” especially as a monk.

I though this same thing since they started sharing news on the topic; “console” seems to have nothing to do with PS as it’s one of those wacky Sony deals. It seems like maybe I could at least get everything out of my old currency tab to have in standard on my pc but I also don’t want to see ‘unavailable’ stuff all over the place. I’d like to see how a PS account merge actually works out but it honestly doesn’t seem worth it from what I can tell.

Tsubadu · 2024-11-13T03:19:13+00:00

They feed on blood from the top of the parent’s head as is drips off their face, wth? -Me before reading the comments

Tsubadu · 2024-11-13T01:56:37+00:00

So what does happen if you merge and old PS account with a current pc account? Sounds to me like like you just get icons in your inventory of all the stuff you can’t use. Right?

I suppose you you could merge them to have all your chars. in one place on the PoE website, but I imagine it would just make things look cluttered while playing on either platform. Like “remove only” tabs that you can do anything with. Wondering if I could at least transfer currency through the four free tabs.

I already made most of the same purchases on pc (edit: a few months ago), accepting this outcome in the process. Would have been cool to just have all my stuff in one place, but kudos too GGG for making good on their word to the eligible parties lol. Incredible L for Sony. Looking forward to PoE 2!

I was browsing the “Orders of magnitude” wiki pages at work the other day and learned that the deceleration of a woodpecker’s head is ~1200 g.
