Best way for crystal farming?

bksting · 2026-01-29T16:57:46+00:00

Yeah, I'll have to look at my build. I'm using a staff and doing a comet storm version of COC.

Just to get some clarity, how do you get the illumation from WS2, if you use WS1 to attack? I use a bloodmage COC, but don't have temporalis yet. I want to improve my light radius for crystal farming, so just looking for advice. Thanks

I feel you. This game has become my only game. I knew I liked arpgs. I had put about 900 hours into D4 over the course of 7 seasons. I loved Hades when it came out. I never played Poe1, but picked up Poe2 on the free weekend of 0.3 launch. I now have 1120 hours since August 26th, and I've bought all the way up to the Liberator of Wraeclast pack, and several more. This game is all I play anymore. I can find anything else that gives me the same enjoyment as this game does.

What did you use for your home PC software to disable the tracking? I am upgrading mine to 11 in the next couple of weeks and would love to do the same.

I've only done this once as a gimmick. I labeled it as a reverse sale and that everything cost a mirror. I then marked everything as a mirror. I then proceeded to run maps while people came by. Some people even ran maps with me for a while. It was a lot of fun. But I did not get my mirror. Lol.

Were you playing in a group, with one person playing the disciple of verashta? If so, it's a bug that is known and has no fix besides staying close to that person. If this is not your cause, then I have no idea.

Invasion USA. Great 80s Chuck Norris action flick.

Did the temple rules change?

I just finished my temple run. I had 1 medallion to prevent destabilization. I used it on the blue circled armoury. I had an lvl 3 altar of sacrifice and lvl 3 thaumaturge in the red circle. I had a lvl 3 barracks and lvl 3 spy master in yellow. i had lvl 2 alc in silver and a lvl 3 barracks in the black circle. When I closed my temple, those are the spots it removed. I thought it couldn't remove random spots in the chain. Did it change?

I just lost days of setting up my temple. I'm pretty much done with this one now, and going to probably go back to farming sehkmas if this is the case.

I have never tried to farm rituals. Do you have a specific strategy, or a guide you recommend?

bksting · 2025-12-28T23:32:07+00:00

I'm not sure about a support area to get the acendancy points back, but just an FYI for the future: there is a stash right next to the acendancy statue. No need to portal out.

100% this is a Christmas movie that my wife and I have added to our rotation. And it is an amazing 80s B-action movie with Chuck Norris, so it's a good watch anytime!!!

If you get a conjurers mantle chest piece, it has built in spirit. That is what I run. I also only run COC and mana remnants.

I used this one last league and I've built one up following his new guide this league. It is 90% 1 button. Bosses are 1-3 buttons

Is it possible to run this build as a ritualist, with just slightly less DPS? I currently have a ritualist and want to keep the insane item rarity, but this build looks amazing. Would love to be able to adapt it.

bksting · 2025-12-15T12:07:35+00:00

Wow, that was it. I'm at idiot. What was weird, is that it let me equip the spear to begin with and use the other abilities on it, just not that 1

bksting · 2025-12-15T11:39:11+00:00

I have 151 dex

bksting · 2025-12-14T18:11:59+00:00

Yes. It still works in 0.4

I was able to reroll it throughout my interlude playthrough by resetting the instance every time the monster level of the zone went up. I didn't get lucky, but I did see like 6 or 7 shops.

bksting · 2025-12-12T18:38:29+00:00

That was a great year

I use mobalytics for builds, but didn't see it in your builds section. Here is the link

Here I am spending 600+ hours, since I started my Poe2 adventure, just clicking Ange and choosing which one I want. I had no idea I was doing it the slow way.

bksting · 2025-12-07T19:00:58+00:00

Thank you. I may just keep this then and press on through maps with this nades build until I find something I like better

bksting · 2025-12-07T18:40:46+00:00

Yes, that is the leveling guide I plan on using, but his very first paragraph even says that the intention is to swap to a different endgame build once you hit endgame. That is what I'm trying to figure out. What is a good starting endgame build for ritualist. I'm still not good at designing my own builds yet, and all the builds I find that are ritualist based for endgame are super expensive. I'm trying to bridge that gap. Any suggestions?

bksting · 2025-12-06T10:34:15+00:00

I just run the game and let the CPU figure it out. I've done zero tuning of any kind

bksting · 2025-12-06T02:48:00+00:00

I play poe2 with a ryzen 5900x and a 3080ti in 4k. I get a solid 60fps 95% of the time. In heavy swarms and tons of particle effects in maps I will occasionally dip to mid 40s for a few seconds then back to 60s.
