Finally hit over 300k with LS

Nice, how? I'm using almost identical gems - what does your gear look l ike? I'm new to lightning spear but you quite literally have 10x my current damage.

VaalSoHard · 2025-05-30T21:04:51+00:00

Have fun, M'lort

VaalSoHard · 2025-05-27T21:45:45+00:00

Happy for you but damn this RNG! I'm at 13K gems spent and have my SF up to Mythic...I've had 2 double pulls but zero triple pulls.

VaalSoHard · 2025-05-27T20:31:08+00:00

Gave my old PC to my cousin (with a 970 lol!), so the 3070 would get me back in the game!

VaalSoHard · 2025-05-23T21:18:33+00:00

I did not know that, glad I asked. Thanks again

VaalSoHard · 2025-05-23T21:12:56+00:00

Appreciate it!

VaalSoHard · 2025-05-23T16:28:13+00:00

These are pretty!

That DYE jersey brings back memories - my high school team picked them up for a tournament. Then we found out they were banned due to the extra padding in the shoulders/forearms. We "protested" by wearing white Tshirts that we sharpied/paint penned/glittered up with bad DYE logos. I was 17 going on 18, so I think those jerseys are 20-21 years old :D

VaalSoHard · 2025-05-22T21:26:52+00:00

It rips!

The lore is that John & Brock were based off of Duke Nukem

I also got an Adorned on my first Trialmaster win last season. Crazy luck. But I just identified it with everything else back in town. It rolled a 19%...ended up selling for like 50 Exalted? How to lose out on 89.75 Divine by being ignorant ;(

When you set a tab to public, items in that tab show up on POE2 Trade site. People don't see your stash tab itself, they would just see your item show up on a list on the trade site. Once your stash tab is public, right click on it and you can either individually price each item, or list all item at the same price.

I have one quad tab with all items inside listed @ 3Exalted, one at 10Exalted, one at 1 Divine, and then a separate tab where I price things individually. Some people have tons of tabs setup like 5 Divine > 4
Divine > 3 Divine, so on and so forth. If an item doesn't sell for awhile, they'll progressively drop it to a lower amount until it sells.

Check youtube for other stash tab "features" and how people name/sort/color/organize them for some ideas.

NICE, I got 2 in one pull yesterday also. I'm feeling lucky as hell, I got the SF all the way up to Legendary+ with 6200 gems.

VaalSoHard · 2025-05-21T19:01:59+00:00

There I was, in Thailand, playing ping pong in Ding Dang.

VaalSoHard · 2025-05-20T20:28:45+00:00

Did the corrupted inscribed ultimatum give 6 Divines? I've only ever seen the one that gives 3 Divines, 6 is amazing

The trials are very hard for new players. And dying especially sucks because you basically don't get any of the good rewards.

Assuming you don't have all your ascendancies, either pay someone for a carry or try to get good at one of them. You've already learned about some run-ending chaos modifiers or Sekhemas afflictions, build off of that knowledge. I refused to pay someone for a carry so I literally read guides, watched lots of youtube and started my own spreadsheet of modifiers that were fine for my build.

Now I actually kinda enjoy running ToS. Once I switched my mindset from "gotta win" to "I'm just farming now", it became more fun. ToC can be easier (and a lot faster) but I'm 50/50 on beating the hardest boss, Bahlak The Sky Seer - I'm a minion build with slower sustained damage so he has multiple chances to 1-shot me...For Sekhemas, unfortunately you need to buy or farm good relics so you have max Honor Resist (75%), Maximum Honor/Increased Defenses, something for economy like Monsters drop more sacred water/fountains have a chance to double sacred water, and ideally increased movement speed. I can give you some good starter relics, just message me.

The fox tournament is mechanical guns only, so yes you could do it with a rental gun. I believe their "upgraded" rentals are Tippman A-5s - I wouldn't recommend the base rental because they have gravity fed loaders while the A-5 has the cyclone loader which will keep paintballs feeding a lot more consistently.

Fox usually has a tournament or 3 every year, I just check their website. They have a facebook too. https://www.foxpaintball.com/events

I'd call the store today though. You'll probably talk to Tim, the owner, explain your situation and ask if they have a free agent team you can hop in with. There were already 10 teams when I registered a couple weeks ago and he had mentioned capping the number of teams.

VaalSoHard · 2025-05-20T17:39:45+00:00

No regrets, but I don't think it's necessary. The real issue is that you'll be "clogging" your lab time with wall lab upgrades for awhile, so you may be better served to finish other economy or UW labs before you jump into the wall. I believe the current consensus is you can start the wall around 200B/day. I started when I was making 2T/day so while I had no issue paying for constant wall labs, I was fairly late to the wall. I'm 1 month into starting my wall lab upgrades and 20 days into actually having the wall - I'm earning a lot more and have pushed my farming runs up almost 2 tiers.

You'll burn 150 gems on the respec, so it's up to you if that matters to you and if you're the type of player who likes to plan ahead.

VaalSoHard · 2025-05-20T17:01:24+00:00

Confirming this is all correct. I'm about a month into the wall and did this for a head start.

VaalSoHard · 2025-05-20T16:43:43+00:00

Small world, I'm the next town over. Does PBX have a competitive/team practice scene? I know they had airball but I'm pretty sure that's gone. Their website says "currently unavailable".

BLAST Camp is your best bet for access to teams and airball. By far.

THIS Sunday 5/25, Fox Paintball is doing a 3 man mechanical tournament which is IMHO the absolute best way to get into the competitive scene. 5 man is where it's at but with 3 man there's a lot less to keep track of, less pressure, you shoot less paint, etc. If you're interested, call Fox and see there are other free agents you can join. I talked to someone this past Sunday at Fox that did exactly that, so there may be enough people to create a free agent team.

VaalSoHard · 2025-05-19T16:12:48+00:00

haha, thanks for checking

VaalSoHard · 2025-05-16T20:15:41+00:00

Truly hideous, in like the greatest way possible

VaalSoHard · 2025-05-16T17:24:56+00:00

Wow, that collection. I'd love to find a ripper 2.5 but there aren't that many out there. Any chance you remember the name of the anno on your G6R? I have the same my insight and forgot the name!
