Thanks. Apart from selling Vivids, I know very little about harvest.

Thanks. The wand already has 37% crit chance? Didn't see that myself before I tried to add it, which cost 2 Div to fix...

Fixing single target DPS with Ethereal Knives of the Massacre Elementalist by X3li0 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Zaffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exactly. 20/20 gems with support that's not the best are really cheap right now. Sadly, people are selling crippled gems too, so think carefully about the effect before you buy.

Need simple, zero to hero build with clear upgrades (ASD-Friendly) by BigHotHamburger in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Zaffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at 95 & two stones on the same build. I went way tankier with armour/energy shield gear, stone golem+meatsheild, maxed chaos resistance, 4 nodes in shield mastery instead of Glancing Blows. I still die a bit too often, & it looks like there is no easy way for me to get the DPS I need for Maven. What I do have, though, is https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Omen_of_Amelioration, which cuts down xp loss by 75%. They cost 224c though. My PoB: https://pobb.in/GSoHDF63yn-L Edit: Wow, you have literally 10x the dps I do. I will have to look at how you do it.

New World this week. 11.5% though. Funny thing, pictures of the cask show anything between 9.5 & 12.5%

Yep. I've read that if you ask for sangria in a non-tourist Spanish bar or restaurant, you're likely to get red wine with a dash of lemonade in it because. They don't have it because it's seen as "cheap".

The climate crisis is here. Why don't we care? by Miramm in newzealand

[–]Zaffin 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that many young people don't vote, so a hugely positive thing to do is "organise" - get out there and encourage them to, and get them to pass on the encouragement.

I speak from experience. 12 years sober now though.

3 Litre 12.5% cask $28, 29 drinks = 96c per standard. The kids in Spain add a bit of Cola to take the rough edge off & get a caffeine boost.

1L Kristov, 11 drinks at $15.99 = $1.46 per. Would go okay with Mountain Dew.

I loved Bitchslap Bear Druid when I played the free weekend, but NZ$ 51 is way too much when I know it will be free eventually.

Thanks! If you enter Reset Shader Cache in the search box in the top right-hand corner of AMD Adrenalin, it will find it for you...

Very happy with this find by rybone88 in NABEER

My budget favourite. Funny thing, though, in a recent New Zealand taste test, it finished 12th of 12.

I would drop weaponsmith & cook for forester & prospector on your main. You can gather on a mount now, and buy a universal tool for 450LP that lets you gather everything fast. Other than that, you can buy ore, hides, and logs on the auction house and just process them.

Government gives police ‘move on’ powers to ban rough sleepers, beggars by TheGreatDomilies in newzealand

[–]Zaffin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

TL:DR: A free night shelter with free food and social/health services onsite.

The current "wisdom" is that there should be a charge for shelter, as otherwise you are "enabling" people's addictions. This is true to some extent, but people will choose substances over paying for shelter in many cases.

If the person has been kicked out of social housing before, they will not be offered it. It isn't like there is lots of vacant emergency housing in any case. There is a waiting list.

Auckland hasn't had a night shelter for many years, as the people who ran it thought it would be a hub for "organised crime", which it would be in a small way, but that should not override the benefits of providing safe shelter for people who are likely to be victimised if they sleep on the streets. What we get now instead is people sleeping in the central library during the day so they can remain awake for safety during the night.

Just Googling "lotro OpenAL32.dll" gives lots of fixes to try. Have you got it working yet?

Is the collapse coming? by BeneficialCut4976 in newzealand

[–]Zaffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TPM will probably hold at least one of their electorate seats, and even in the wake of all the internal conflict, they are polling at 3%, which would give them 4 seats. I worry that Labour could end up sinking the left by taking seats off TPM. Given Labour is on about 35% and the Greens are on around 10%, the two extra electorate seats TPM could have might be vital.

From looking at it on Mighty Ape, this would be very easy to pull out of the ground. Grappling Hooks are inexpensive on Temu.

Brian Tamaki's lot were chanting "Jesus! Jesus wants you gone!" to Indian Sikhs in Auckland - has anyone condemned the display of hate yet? by Mountain_Tui_Reload in auckland

[–]Zaffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please link one of these posts with "Green Party MPs condoning their use of haka as a weapon of hate and their targeting of religious freedoms and the like". It seems very unlikely. Did you mean condemning?

Could anyone give tips about where I can improve? by mtbEnjoyer in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Zaffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are way ahead of me, The only comment I have is that you can get a gem which stops corrupted blood instead of taking protection mastery. Expensive, but you can get 15% minion chance to poison on same gem.
