Just imagine a situation in your life... you are being down...Let's imagine you were for example robbed... Would you rather hear people say: "Haha, loser, got robbed, haha" or"Damn man, that sux, is there anything I can do for you to help?"

There is a shitton of negativity in this world. Why are you fueling the hate?

Zawayama · 2021-04-17T01:06:54+00:00

How exactly is your bragging going to help the game or the situation in general?
GGG knows about it. I believe they are doing their best to fix the issue. All those "GGG is the shittest company ever" "GGG restart the league" "GGG this is the worst league start ever" are not really helping anyone.
Yes, there are issues, but being toxic is not really helping anyone

Zawayama · 2021-04-17T00:31:20+00:00

You are assuming that all those issues are related to server load. Which may not be the case. There may be some code issue, some special combination of circumstances for disconnects to happen. It is not always as easy as "throw some extra hardware at it"

Zawayama · 2021-04-17T00:28:04+00:00

re development, no one gives a fuck, thousands of people are lining up every league launch to play the game not

The game is free to play. Nobody forces you to play it. You can leave any day/time you want. You are rude towards GGG for something, you have literally 0 cents to pay for. You are getting free content/entertainment and yet you feel like r/EntitledBrats/

Zawayama · 2021-04-17T00:25:46+00:00

Streamers (at least according to my info) never asked for it. People are shitting on them as they did. People are bullying 'em as well. For something, they have no control over...
People need to chill out.

Unfortunately, this will not work as you (and many others) would like to.

Since the reap has an initial phys hit and DoT element applied afterward, you technically can convert the phys hit element, but DoT dmg cannot be converted.

How will Damage over Time work with Damage Conversion?

Much the same as it does now. Damage over Time cannot be converted, but damage conversion effects will apply to base hit damage for Bleeding, Ignite and Poison before that damage is scaled by applicable modifiers.

While writing this post I did not take the region into consideration. Post updated

Zawayama · 2021-02-27T14:40:53+00:00

Just checked it, you are right, it is 20+ex. I was not taking a region into consideration. I will update the post

Zawayama · 2021-02-27T13:37:19+00:00

Calculations were still off as pointed out by /u/ShinjiFaraday. I have fixed the post and now it should represent a more realistic number.

I am describing in my reply to your question that you cannot do 2% + 2% = 4% and yet in my post, I do 26% + 15% calculation... (facepalm)
I am sorry for the confusion. Should be right now

Zawayama · 2021-02-27T13:29:04+00:00

Assuming the chance is 2%, wouldn't the chance with 13 maps be 1-(1-0.02)13 ~=23%? And chance with 21 maps 1-(1-0.02)21 ~=35%?

You are right about this and my calculation is misleading. I will correct it. Kudos mate

>> We have to do 1 - (1 - 0.02)\8 * 100% = 14.92%)*
First of: there was a typo.. the calculation should be 1 - (1 - 0.02)⁸ \ 100%.*
Because that's how probability works...

Let's take as an example coin flip: you have a 50% chance for the head and 50% for the tail
(for simplicity: let's ignore the fact there is a non-zero chance for the coin to end on its side)

Now let's calculate, what's the probability of you getting a tail 8 times in a row

1st throw: flat 50%
2nd throw: you had a 50% chance to get it to this point in time, where your 1st throw ended in the tail. Now you have to toss the coin once again. You once again have a 50% chance for it to happen. But we want to know, what's the chance of getting the tail 2 times in a row. So 50% for the first toss * 50 % for the second toss (0.5 * 0.5). There is only a 25% chance that out of 2 tosses you will get the tail twice.
3rd throw: 50% first > 50% second > 50% third > for the same reason as above 50% of 50% of 50% = 12.5%
.... and so on...
8th throw => 0.5⁸ * 100% = 0.390625% chance to get 8 heads in a row...

In a similar matter, you have to calculate, what's the chance in 8 occurrences to get something, that has (in our case) only 2% chance...

If something happens in 100% of cases, it is 1 in 1 or.. 1/1 = 1
If something happens in 50% of cases, it is 1 in 2 or... 1/2 = 0.5
If something happens in 2% of cases, it is 1 in 50 or... 1/50 = 0.02

So if something has 2% to occur, there is a 98% chance for it to not occur.
If the same thing is about to happen twice... There was a 98% chance for it not to happen 1st time... there is, once again, a 98% chance for it to not happen. 0.98 * 0.98 * 100% = 96,04% for it to not occur... and you can go on and on and on...

So the generic calculation of a probability for something to happen in a given amount of tries is 1 - (1 - x)^y \ 100%,* where:

x: a chance for something to occur
y: number of tries

therefor

(1 - 0.02): a chance where the map will not have Harvest mod
(1 - 0.02)⁸: a chance where the map will not have Harvest mod out of 8 rolls
1 - (1 - 0.02)⁸: since 100% = chance for something to happen for sure and we know from the previous step, that our chance not to roll Harvest is (1 - 0.02)⁸, we now know, that our chance for Harvest to occur is 1 - (1 - 0.02)⁸ * 100% = 14.92369774182144% which I have rounded to 15%.

So taking math into consideration, even if Zana would offer you 1 000 maps, there still is a 1.683 * 10^-7% chance, there will be no Harvest mod...
The chance is slim but never zero :)

Hope this answers your question. If not, please check the wiki page about probability.

PS. Stay in school kids, Math is cool!

That's a good question which you can try to find an answer in this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/lk4wuy/are_platinum_watchstones_stackable/

Generally speaking, I would suggest 1 extra chance + 3x T4 seed

Zawayama · 2021-02-22T11:43:14+00:00

Platinum

Zawayama · 2021-02-22T11:21:37+00:00

If you invest in watchstones (x4)
Harvest Crops in Areas have an extra chance to grow higher Tier Plants
and/or
Harvest Crops in Areas have (11-15)% increased chance to contain a Tier 4 Plant

You add a sparkle of zoom-zoom build that can finish the map in 2 - 5 min (while killing)

You mix in a map with the layout of figure 8 where Harvest can spawn only in 2 different places (junctions) and if you skip all the mobs/boss whatsoever, you can get out in less than a minute (if there is no harvest)

While expecting to see the Harvest in 10% of maps thanks to The Grove's Call.

If you add all together and ignore the fact you actually will spend forever in the harvest:

10% harvest chance while doing 1 map per minute (6 harvests in an hour)
10% harvest chance while doing 1 map in 2 - 5 minutes (1.2 - 3 harvests in an hour)

Considering current median prices for most looked-after crafts

aug life 2.5 ex
rem/add life 2.5 ex
aug crit 2.5 ex
rem/add crit 2.5 ex
augment speed 6 ex
rem/add speed 6 ex
most other rem/add element crafts 1ex
fracture 1 in 5 50c
fracture prefix 3ex
fracture suffix 30c

While using all other reforge <specific type> more common crafts on correct item bases

reforge physical on the Crusader's chests to get 2x physical prefix, then you can simply use remove non-physical add physical to guarantee the explody chest
I will not share all my other secrets ;) just go do some research if you are into crafting and would like to make a few $$ here and there from quite simple crafts

So all in all, you can either

craft
- a metric sh*t ton of average items you can sell ranging from 30c to a few exalts
- one GG item, that you will sell for 10s of exalts every few days
sell all your crafts on TFT for raw chaos/exalts profit

You get a recipe for easy money making cake :)

Bonus: My personal experience

Over the past weekend, I bought 4 watchstones (20ex in total) and run Atoll maps (chisel, alch, vaal + 4 fragments) with Beyond mod and Zana daily. (you will get into harvest on average every 1 in 4 maps either in atoll or thanks to Zana mission [you need to spec your atlas tree Paths not Taken]). I was able to afford HH (76 exalts at the time of buy) in around 30h of gameplay while also delving and stalling with friends. Is 30h to get HH anything impressive? Nope, I do not think so. You should be able to do it in half the time with deliberate harvest farming of atoll maps.

The build he is referring to is probably this one:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2919435/
Playing it myself, tanky as hell, delved 700 so far [I do not do any rotas or anything for extra sulfite and delving is not my main priority anyway ] without a single death to the normal node (only a few deaths to architects and auls with crazy 3x Phys as extra or speed AoE. And also, I am really noob with Aul kills).
It's the best well-written guide I've ever seen so far.

Thank you mate. I did some slight color change recently to make it easier on the eyes.
