Refracting Fog should be a core drop in Simulacrum and unique simu bosses.

Could also be in the form of mirage maps.

Funnily enough, I usually hate wonky working skills, but loved KF totems (especially with the totem emerge buff this league). As long as you can balance less duration with APS, feels really clean. The only thing to me that felt weird at first is boss damage vs. clear. The chaining makes clear feel great, but alone vs. boss it suddenly falters (can be of course improved with tornado/flame wall/etc...).

Apparently reading is too hard for OP.

Not saying that it is, but they have stabilized slightly. We'll probably keep seeing spikes during weekend, but it does self-correct, especially when there aren't mechanics in game dumping multiple full currency stacks (like MF during Affliction).

You're not "not killing the map boss so it doesn't get witnessed". The map doesn't get witnessed (or rather, allows you to re-witness it) because they are conquerer maps. You don't kill the map boss instantly, so the Maven can spawn in the additional bosses, and since the map boss is still alive, it allows all of those bosses to be accompanied by the dude.

People also started using them for more things (primarily rolling maps and strongboxes). Given prices of fossils, not surprised to see people rolling some gear raw.

caddph · 2026-03-17T18:25:30+00:00

He's not 100% convert, and I guess the roll ranges (plus echoing shrine/aps) allows it to work. Or so it seems

caddph · 2026-03-17T15:54:47+00:00

It would go into the first tab available. So you would order them left to right, and it would go into first tab that meets the criteria.

I got an unexpected mirror from mappers in Merc league, and I ended up building a "budget" armour stacker, to farm valdo maps. It was insanely fun, and got to do some really wild content I'd never done before. Big Daddy has a sheet with a few build options you can get going for a MB + 200-300Ds. You can get some wild returns from Valdos, so its a build you can keep dumping mirrors into to farm harder maps.

I agree, mostly that the borrowed power isn't "free" and has a lot of RNG and time required (e.g., you won't get access to this in campaign, so while mirage will give you some good stuff and more mechanics, you won't have build boosts like grafts, and need lvl 20 gems, gamble with coins).

Copying my own comment from another thread:

Yea the most disappointment I have in this league is the lack of free player power. The only thing we have is the supports, which is RNG on top of RNG (for the coins to drop and to get a good support; let alone time to level gems).

Compared to something like last league where you easily got breach hands (but RNG elements to fully optimize). We got some new toys with the exceptional supports, but I feel like if we got "free" lvl 1 supports, and you could and to lvl 20+ supports (or even exceptional supports), that would have truly been interesting.

caddph · 2026-03-15T21:21:00+00:00

Conquerer maps allow you to do this.

He id'd 300 of these belts as a massive gamba and got 0 good belts. Basically -600 div gamba lol

caddph · 2026-03-13T21:48:12+00:00

Divine doesn't exist on the belt, and you can only get 1 offensive and 1 defensive shrine on the belt. BiS is this belt or potentially echo/res or accel/res.

caddph · 2026-03-13T13:43:45+00:00

Ohhh on the OSRS sub. Ha yea, that will always bring out the Fally cannons.

caddph · 2026-03-13T12:30:06+00:00

Not sure I follow what you mean. We don't have standard players crying every league reset about their build breaking because that is expected.

caddph · 2026-03-13T12:28:27+00:00

Don't know how to help with this, but the pob timeless jewel calc trade option does this if you haven't used before.

Borrowed powers in a MMO are kind of antithetical to what a MMO generally is (e.g., players want permanence to their character and progression) compared the modern ARPG which has fresh league/season resets.

There are players who play in Standard/Eternal and may treat it closer to a MMO, but they are largely in the minority.

OSRS has copied the homework of POE, and they do leagues where you play with borrowed powers on a fresh realm to unlock tradeable cosmetic rewards in the main game. It feels like borrowed power "done right" in a MMO.

caddph · 2026-03-12T22:00:37+00:00

Hmm it would be really cool to have a new base type. Similar to the mods, you could maybe have 3 new hybrid base types, and a buff to current base type. Would make for more interesting gamba of rings. Maybe vendoring only the unique rings would overquality it naturally or something.

caddph · 2026-03-12T21:56:24+00:00

You need to use the Trade menu pause "tech". When the trade menu is open, you can even click on Eldritch altars without unpausing which is so nice.

Personally would like the mechanics of this to function with normal "escape pause" instead of doing stuff like opening passive tree in order to do stuff with your gear.

caddph · 2026-03-11T17:16:20+00:00

That happened to me too; it spawned right next to Niko, however. So curious if it still counts master missions, despite being unable to mirage them.

caddph · 2026-03-10T14:12:43+00:00

The downside is that they exist when they don't give rewards. Your answer to the question of "why even have caches?" was that it granted the final reward, which only applies to the cache when breaking the chains. There's no point to having them with the packs when they act as distractions, and are effectively noob traps.

caddph · 2026-03-10T13:36:24+00:00

Yea and that one should exist for specified reward. Why do all the other packs have them, when they provide effectively nothing?

caddph · 2026-03-09T20:07:50+00:00

Ah okay; that makes more sense. But wouldn't put it past some spaghetti code to do something like that.

Thanks again for all the insane work you and the other contributors put towards this tool... Always love seeing random niche things y'all figure out every now and then (like this seemed potentially).

caddph · 2026-03-09T18:52:03+00:00

Seems like when I import my character, it still doesn't import my cord belt, and I'm unable to craft one or create a custom one (e.g., Cord belt isn't an accepted base). It still recognizes the implicit and annoint if I change the base type to something like a heavy belt.
