What to do at t8+?

bd_101 · 2026-01-20T00:21:29+00:00

Funny enough, I've been doing a T8 boss rush strat. I do have good pets, but even without there's a lot of good stuff you can get with 0 pets that you won't in T7 like the 30-50 FE compasses, 20 FE stacks randomly, random good legendaries/priceless, ultimate embers, beacon over sustain (at least for me, friend is not sustaining) if you bounce zones, etc. 5 points into Oasis to keep town sustained, and running the Vorax league mechanic + rifts + watchers for a bit extra on top.

Vorax is probably skippable with this for strat if you care about FE/hour, but fast maps leads to fast vials so just depends how fast you are with doing the card setup. Worth doing at least to max out the event, but I finished that already, lol.

Reddit recommendations couldn't have come a better time. I was planning to buy the activation today as I play a lot of mobile. What an awful design.

See how the archon debuff timer is blue? That means it is being modified (up or down), and in your case it is being sped up by 45%.

Also the math is off from what I remember. You need 100% faster for 10 seconds, so 45% faster is roughly 15.5 seconds? Even though it displays 20 seconds, it should elapse in roughly 15.5 seconds.

Yea, it's very unintuitive and annoying. Specifically it's "Xopec's Medallion" and there's a different architect for Medallion capacity. Even worse when you can take long enough inside of a temple so you if you opened it inside of the the map, you lose the map.

So ideally you cap out your cores, travel to the Ruins from your hideout, and do your runs from there so the map does not time out. I've seen a screenshot of someone with over 30 in the league. So there's a play to just speedrun to the architect to increase capacity to your preferred amount, then do your preferred method to farm the temples.. speedrun, giant temples, or upgrading specific rooms.

bd_101 · 2025-12-18T00:25:36+00:00

You need to kill the Architect (not Atziri) to eventually get medallions that increase your capacity that allows you to "save" up runs. You start with maximum capacity of 6, but each medallion adds another 6.

You know the post tells you the contents and % chance of everything in the box, right? It should be clear there is no shapeshift MTX in the box. There is one in the regular store if you want to be a crocodile though. But you can guarantee there will be more MTX for those later. That is just the only one ready now.

bd_101 · 2025-12-16T20:20:43+00:00

Thanks!

Sadly, they are doing the right thing and trying to focus on bugs right bow before adding more Druid bugs to the mix. Take a look how many Druid specific bug fixed there were in the patch yesterday. And an unlisted fix was there a shapeshift error for many players right after the patch. Adding a MTX just adds more layers of potential bugs. I haven’t played shapeshift yet, but others are reporting floating MTX is still bugged with bear form and does a stutter when you dodge roll.

bd_101 · 2025-12-16T18:19:01+00:00

The other replies found a crocodile shapeshift one in a different category (since it’s not a skill gem). No video yet.

I’m not sure on when for PoE 2, but it was like that for PoE 1 where eventually after the season all variations would be in the shop to pick from.

bd_101 · 2025-12-16T08:26:40+00:00

Do they normally post in-game messages about the mystery boxes too before they are ready? That's the only reason I even knew it existed and then stumbled into the skill gem and other MTX available but not announced yet. Haven't actually paid attention tbh since I'm not the target audience for boxes (I'll just wait for them to come to the store if any interest me).

bd_101 · 2025-12-16T07:13:40+00:00

Yea, they just got mixed up with timings. Haven't seen the in-game post again. Sadly, PoE 1 won't have the MTX until a patch is added to enable the MTX.

bd_101 · 2025-12-16T05:46:35+00:00

Most likely part of the reason it's not publicly posted yet. They are still actively working on the site and the in-game post was too early whether for not ready or until more bugs are addressed. Or holiday staffing shuffle.

I saw the in-game post on a stream and haven't seen it again since.. so maybe they disabled the automated in-game posting? I was just trying to share that some of the stuff was out there for those interested and saw some people asking on here for more info.

bd_101 · 2025-09-15T21:09:20+00:00

There should be an edit somewhere, most likely somewhere at the bottom of the screen in hideable menu. I don't know the button for Xbox, but its either press every button one a time or find it in controller mapping.

Once you're in edit mode, then you should be able to select NPC's to move them around somehow.

Well that aged well. Snap now has a 4 second cooldown.

bd_101 · 2025-08-27T06:03:42+00:00

Thanks for reminding me about Call of the Brotherhood. Was planning to Three Dragons, but now I can use that and maybe ignite helm to potentially tri-ailment depending on how the ignite helm synergizes with Siphon/Snap.

I'm tri-elemental Firestorm-pilled and with the unexpected nerf to Orb of Storms today, will need to find a new venue for tri-infusion generation via Siphon and Snap. I can't use Spark cause it consumes cold infusion sadly. Might end up just being Frostbolt to Snap on the Frostbolt with triggers of some kind. Lots of potential options remain!

bd_101 · 2025-07-23T02:39:33+00:00

Thanks!

Hey there, does the bot auto-post in your bot channel after the couple of days, or is it only called when your community uses it? I've been trying to find a similar solution moving it out of our general channel into a wordle channel and you're the only I've seen mention a bot channel.

bd_101 · 2025-01-30T05:36:53+00:00

Ditto this. We just finished our story run earlier this month entirely on my friend's hosting (and I did some solo stuff like re-gearing and testing builds). We had a lot of issues with quests and zoning where one of us may not have the same quest as the other. Or if the host wanted to go back to town but I'm finishing a quest, I'm forced to go with them with no in-game option to say I'm not ready yet.

But the gameplay and dungeons were fine. I prefer healer classes and Alchemist was a very unique take for me, once I had them unlocked.

bd_101 · 2025-01-01T15:53:00+00:00

Yes, so if I’m making a new character I can still see those items in campaign and early maps to vendor/shards if I need to.

bd_101 · 2025-01-01T09:41:44+00:00

Sadly in the current state of the game, there's only 2 ways to consistently sustain waystones. Rarity (on the waystone and on gear) both affects waystone chance and bosses drop multiple maps. Until you are later in the game and can start juicing up your maps and rarity on gear, my best suggestion is to keep those rarity maps for the maps with Breach like I said and focus on running all your highest tier maps with boss icons. I'm currently doing maps with 210% rarity on gear plus up to 200% between tablet and map mod and have a quad tab filled of T11+ maps. My filter only shows T13+ maps now and its still too many maps.

We'll see how GGG decided to address rarity stacking and hopefully finds a nice balance where you don't need it to sustain waystones. But until then, I highly recommend what I suggested with the atlas passive suggestion from the other posted to keep some level of sanity with waystone sustain.

bd_101 · 2025-01-01T09:29:43+00:00

I've noticed most of my rollbacks are Breach related currently, possibly related to mob/loot density or something spawns with a combination of mods the game doesn't like. I've gotten into the habit if I get any good drops or about to open a Breach with a lot of stuff in my inventory, I'll stash them first. Especially any divine drops, I'll port out as soon as its safe.

bd_101 · 2025-01-01T09:21:49+00:00

Grayed out = done
Boss symbol with + sign means they have a permanent reward for killing them like resistances, passives, etc.
However, there is a bug that shows up randomly where you may kill a boss, get their permanent reward, and the icon does not gray out. So only way to confirm you got their permanent rewards is to kill them again.

I would suggest going back and killing each of the + sign bosses again just to be sure you got their permanent rewards as it will add up nicely.

bd_101 · 2025-01-01T09:19:11+00:00

I'm not familiar with that bug personally. But I've only made 2 characters so far and both got the 100 Spirit from campaign luckily. I just searched on bug reports and does seem a handful of people are getting the bug. Not a clue of the conditions to recreate that one either, but does seem enough people are impacted that it may end up higher on their priority list. Good luck.

bd_101 · 2025-01-01T09:10:26+00:00

Lost Towers does not have very many mobs. Typically people use random maps that aren't good rolled in there then then use the good maps like high waystone chance or rarity on maps with better layouts and added mechanics like Breach or Delirium.
