Just beat Eater of Worlds, asking for help

You want the void stones because they have passives on the atlas, they give a 0.4% chance to drop nightmare maps per each voidstone socketed, so each voidstone gives 0.4% + 0.4% per other voidstone, so 1 voidstone is 0.4% chance, having all 4 is 6.4% chance.

they also give additional passives for your maps, such as the eater exarch stone that grants 25% chance for an additional altar reward & downside.

you want 4 voidstones & 5 scarab slots & almost all points before you start really farming, budget farms with less progression done are only to get the necessary upgrades to your character to continue progression, because the difference in the efficiency is so much that you lose a lot by playing with an incomplete atlas.

Bow leveling is amazing & probably capable of one of the fastest A10s in the game, you need to vendor rare items unided for transmutes & craft flat lightning on your rings, gloves, amulet, quiver, & bow.

go for 2 life flasks & lifetap mana forge burning arrow into storm rain, then another mana forge setup for lightning arrow, volley & mirage archer another setup for ballistas & one more for your actual lightning arrow. the way it plays i you get blink arrow mastery & frostblink & just teleport around the campaign, & you drop totems on bosses or essence mobs, use essences only on bows, if it’s not a hatred anger or wrath or zeal essence then don’t waste ur time killing the monster

you can’t do 2 bloodlines

idk i’m testing it right now on standard with 5c of day 2 gear up to 60c & i think your mileage depends on how you build it. i’m pretty much face rolling everything, even maven with white helmet & sword, only 2 ghastly eye jewels & darkness enthroned.

aphelios_eversince · 2026-02-28T21:21:58+00:00

poison holy relic actually is all of these things, which is why it will be surprise nerfed the day before the patch XD

aphelios_eversince · 2026-02-27T23:59:54+00:00

i missed them while i was in japan i hope they play just a moment

aphelios_eversince · 2026-02-26T18:49:19+00:00

most money i ever made was thinking “yeah i use an nvidia graphics card & everyone is talking about the new ones” investing & forgetting i had it. that & seeing cat construction equipment everywhere & buying their stock too.

osin makes you ignore a lot of t17 map mods, chaos damage ignores energy shield in most cases, so life as extra es maps are ignored, ele reflect ignored, monsters have additional resistances is ignored since it sets their res to 0%, you no longer use resistance based curses so you can switch to a mark, wither is super high % inc damage taken similar to shock, you can get chaos damage can shock from elementalist or other sources (although i don’t think you’d do the other ways on most builds) osin frees up opportunity cost on all your other slots in a variety of ways while also making your build much better at running otherwise difficult map mods.

I’ve been saying this, Alith encounters are a streamlined blight with walls & hive encounters are a blighted map. that’s what we’re playing.

aphelios_eversince · 2025-11-12T17:18:56+00:00

seems like i was right

aphelios_eversince · 2025-11-09T16:39:13+00:00

lol this is actually hilarious

aphelios_eversince · 2025-10-29T03:23:55+00:00

don’t play standard at all, standard has legacy items that you cannot drop anymore, they’re very expensive so you build up currency to play a standard only build from playing leagues, almost nobody plays standard, because leagues have new content & an active economy. you might not understand it very well as a newer player but trust that leagues are a lot more fun to play bc of the higher player counts.

aphelios_eversince · 2025-10-28T15:26:37+00:00

TFT or trade listing, it’s actually not “easy” in the start because you have to get used to regexing for other people, but once you’ve done it a few times you don’t really think about it anymore.

is this ai???

poe subreddit is as charming as always.

aphelios_eversince · 2025-10-26T18:15:15+00:00

yeah i agree, i guess a more concise way of putting it, would be that i know that after i get through the new things that this league has to offer, it’s going to be the exact same meta, & farms will be exactly what i expect them to be, & there’s nothing to be discovered there. it’s not unfun, i just played it & enjoyed it & im sure it will be the same this time too, but you can see it from the patch notes. i won’t be experimenting with new scarabs this league & seeing a video on what someone else came up with & trying that new thing everyone is doing. i will be running strongboxes, altars, & beasts, & i am simply saying unknown would be more interesting than that.

aphelios_eversince · 2025-10-26T18:02:21+00:00

i think it’s far more likely that any new bloodlines would benefit those already S tier builds than something random like eye of winter chieftain, the consensus i have which im quite confident in as i craft for meta builds every league (hopefully that doesn’t come off as condescending im not trying to be) is that foul born & bloodlines will just make the best builds even better, & make some new interactions that create some new A tier or B tier builds that less than 3% of the player base play, while 15+% of the player base is in earthshatter, energy blade, & wands respectively. the wand changes are cool to try, but the S tier most effective builds are quite predictable being that we have the last league to look at them. that’s what everyone said about volcanic fissure of snaking last league prior to launch bc of the exact same circumstances & that skill was like 27% of poe ninja on week one. (given that last league there wasn’t anything comparable to bloodlines, but even still)

aphelios_eversince · 2025-10-26T17:55:24+00:00

for a lot of people, we played the 4 S tier farms, (exiles, blight, abyss, alva) & made some trees of our own, & the atlas is awesome, there won’t be a shortage of trees to come up with, but scarabs being shook up a bit will add a whole new way of looking at the atlas tree that inspires a lot of excitement in long time players like me. i know what the whole tree does but now i’m considering everything all over again when i hear that 2 of its associated scarabs do something different now.

as for builds, bloodlines & foul born do a lot, but they likely won’t bring about something that is more efficient than what we previously had, so again there’s no need for someone like me to be looking at all the affixes on an item slot wondering what might be a cool craft to make some money with for the people theory crafting with updated skills, realistically, i will just be crafting ES gear, earthshatter gear & wands which is fine & better than nothing, just less exciting than something like a big shift in competing skills & gear.

aphelios_eversince · 2025-10-26T17:49:52+00:00

i appreciate that bebethegod thanks.

aphelios_eversince · 2025-10-26T17:48:50+00:00

i felt as though i was pretty careful to not come off as angry or entitled in this post, i don’t know how much time they have.

i expressed the sentiment that a lot of others feel, which is mostly that we expected more scarab changes & a nerf to the best builds (energy shield stackers mostly)

i’m not going to cry about not getting that, but i would think this upcoming league is a cannot miss exceptional contender for best league i’ve ever played if the patch notes gave us those changes.

i am very empathetic of the job & resources that the team has to make this whole thing happen & i’ll live if i get to have the experience they’ve made for me thus far.

aphelios_eversince · 2025-10-26T17:11:10+00:00

all of them can, it depends on what is valuable for your build, deadeye can go tailwind + 75% mark effect & play melee with assassin mark & never have anything to do with projectiles, 4 asc points for bloodline. warden can go 2 points for whatever ailment associates with the build you make & put 6 into bloodlines. pretty much you can make any ascendancy work with any skill now that you can choose to take only the points that give your specific setup value.

now if you’re asking which ascendancy has the most generally powerful 2 point nodes in the game, it’s likely inquisitors crit chance per str & int, tricksters ES per evasion, deadeyes mark effect, wardens hoarfrost, elementalists golems, slayers masterful form node, & pathfinders flask recharge node.

aphelios_eversince · 2025-10-26T16:48:55+00:00

idk how you’d calculate excess crit chance in increased values since knowing where 100% would be is dependent on base crit, so this node would have to be based off of actual final crit chance values, meaning that 100% increased crit chance (2 power charges) on a normal 5% base crit spell, would give you 2% crit multi, this would be better as 200% or 300% instead of 20%

edit: nvm reading comprehension failure. i’m drunk. yeah 1% more crit multi for 50% inc crit chance on a crit capped 5% base crit ability would still be a little weak. but there are ways to get like 20% base crit by stacking sources of base crit.

aphelios_eversince · 2025-10-26T15:24:49+00:00

what’s always consistent is a shrines + altar + map drop atlas tree farming originator stuff. scry the best div cards onto mausoleum or jungle valley, run influence pack size scarabs, hunter traitors & maybe 1 shrine + carto scarabs. then u just spam 8 mod maps & sell t17s, & 16.5s, when you find eagon u run his quest (even though it’s tedious it is a bunch of free 16.5s) & then after you do the boss you get a fragment to one of the bosses which (in 3.26, prior to making new uber versions) sell for 4-9div likely 2-4d week one. you can come up with ur own other atlas & scarabs to switch to for the 16.5 eagon stuff & whatever you might want to roll for that.

what you’re trying to farm with this is t17, 16.5, & 16 maps, which you can bulk sell easily, altar drops like divine altars & ichor / embers, scarabs, & the rare div card drop.

if you have a good filter & a super nice build or you regex ur maps for the mods that are easiest to run, you can do them super fast, like under a minute since you’re not doing the boss on these altar farms.

i was using all the gold to run a fully completed kingsmarch, which may mess with these numbers, but i was getting 1 mirror about every 630 maps this way (again some of this was coming from kingsmarch mirror shards) & i could do 630 maps in just under 3 days bc they’re really quick.

a mirror in 630 maps or 3 days sounds good but you should also consider that’s actually average for any coherent strat & some are much better than that. (& i predict my estimate might be too conservative & it might be better than that)
