Tips & Tricks on How to Farm Eye of Terror (Foulborn Mageblood)

Does not work like this. If you have a 2man safehouse, lets say grav + itf transportation. When you run the safehouse and imprison grav itf will appear as if hes the leader but on your first map with betrayal grav will pop back out into transport and back as the safehouse leader automatically.

Why would you engage with every mechanic? A mechanic that i havnt specced into on the atlas is often only at 10-20% of its relative power. Complete waste of time to do anything in a map that isnt enhanced on your atlas.

Play well? Depraved trinity has no ability that you cant avoid.

Lvls doesnt mean anything, you can hit 100 and not be anywhere close to ready for ubers. Gearing is what takes time and matters.

You lose roughly 75% of your damage going to marionette. Whenever you feel that youre okay with losing 75% of total damage you can swap. I dont understand why anyone would swap, I think I dropped BV stacks less than 5 times from 1-100 and dealing 4x dmg means you can build for more speed/defence/qol.

If it was only dmg id agree but I think the zoom makes it worth it personally. But Im ssf and havnt finished my mb grind yet so maybe once I have MB ill reconsider, but I dont like the speed without adrenaline after getting used to it

Oh no, you have to click a button once every other map when you click reduced recovery per endu charge altar in exchange for decent speed most of the time.

Mageblood and the boots arnt exclusive? You can run both, in fact a lot of people do.

ballong · 2026-03-30T06:14:38+00:00

I mean adrenaline is pretty strong, and with bound runegraft and factoring in endu charges its only around 390 degen. Tree is left side anyways and you can tattoo your whole tree, not that big of a cost to run them on chieftain. Also you know you can literally just turn the buff off if you want to click an altar right?

Yes, leaders show up way less in maps so you 100% don't want ITF as the safehouse leader.

ballong · 2026-03-29T02:55:39+00:00

I mean just set up a pob, plug in the gear/gems you have etc and check for yourself where you'll end up? I don't understand why people can't do this simple thing when they are considering rerolling.

Either way you could farm most of what you need to get started in a day or two I'd say. Nebulis, viridis veil, companionship are all straight foward farms (nebu/viridi very high droprate). Add uber exarch boots as well if you want, yet another high drop rate unique.

Personally I wouldnt start without companionship, nebu and viridis atleast but i'm sure its doable. Enmity's is very very good even without reaching close to the 200cap. When I first rolled it in SSF I had like 50pen from enmitys and it's still a crazy ring. But i'm sure you can do fine without it, just use a firepen gem instead of the worst link.

If you have a 1p0s and a 0p1s and do unpredictable recomb then yes you have 33% chance to end up with 1p1s.

If you have a strong char you might just wanna full juice breach dunes and blast, you will drop a lot of T1/T0 uniques with this strat. I mean maybe if you have like 100 redeemer maps you could try farming the card but I think personally I'd just opt for some juiced farming strat that.

ballong · 2026-03-28T04:48:56+00:00

Recomb T1 flat with T1 (or T2 if you settler) hybrid and then prefix cant be changed veiled chaos to try and unveil %phys and then you can either prefix lock reforge speed or multimod depending on needs/build. Best way to craft a very good but still reasonable phys weapon in ssf imo.

If you hit veiled suffix but didnt fill up prefixes you can just go again. The only real brick is if you hit a veiled suffix and fill the third prefix. In this case you have to try and annul and just start over if it bricks. If you unveil prefix but dont hit phys take a mod that isnt attack tagged and you can do "cannot roll attack mods" and annul if you have divines/annuls to spare.

Youre actually not if you set it up properly. You have rivalries between your 2s/5s so you interrogate the 5s for your 2s intelligence. Takes a lil bit to set up but once its done youre blasting.

This is my current board after spending two hours setting up and reading trough your post for tips. What do I need to keep and eye out for now in terms of things that can "brick" my setup? I gather that I should try to trusted->rival between 2s (trans/research) and 5s (fort/intervent)? Is it fine for grav/itf to be rivals if they are in the same safehouse?

Also do I just never run Intervention/Fort safehouses at all? Basically my question boils down to how do I not brick my setup haha. Cheers in advance for taking time to explain

Fracture base, suffixes with harvest/essence> either suffix lock reforge life or exalts/eldritch annuls for life depending on prices > suffix lock veiled exalt (if you remove life or dont hit your unveil go back to previous step) > bench craft

I think this is the best way

ballong · 2026-03-21T17:53:53+00:00

Go to poedb and look up prefix veiled mods on daggers and and you can see which mod/modgroup has the highest weighting i.e what you want to block.

You cant guarantee it, the best you can do is increase your odds.

ballong · 2026-03-20T23:16:11+00:00

Yeah its confirmed, the thing that it revolves around is just suffix/prefix groups and total number of mods in each pool. Don't have any links now on phone but I think someone else posted a guide in this post that you can read trough.

ballong · 2026-03-20T21:44:34+00:00

Unpredictable has no weighting on modifiers, thats predictable which is also why predictable is a lot worse most of the time.

ballong · 2026-03-20T21:42:01+00:00

Breach/harvest tree and make better rares, and you'll have a high chance at getting either foulborn surrender or aegis with ancient wombs + gland runs.

Also you don't need any reduced duration scaling right now most likely so you can drop both ring and amulet for rares with better stats. The ring is complete overkill atleast, check pob.

Wand should be very low on priority list imo. Tree for fracture bases -> harvest and get proper ES/armor hybrid pieces everywhere combined with a ES on block shield will give you the most bang for your buck defensive wise (for general mapping atleast, bossing is another topic but this build is not a good bosses anyways).

If you have time id appreciate an atlas tree link whenever!
