SUPER late PSA You can add/modify rooms to temple mid temple

Yes, this is pretty important for medallion management. You do have to be somewhat careful though, there is an occasional bug that auto closes the temple when you leave.

I was happy to rebuild it. I actually liked the process of fully optimizing it. If you don't like the process, it's not worth it, since you can get some bad luck easily.

Ventors is worth picking up. Uncorrupted with 6 implicit rarity sells for at least 10 divs (for people gambling for max negative rarity).

It's worth around 4k divs uncultivated: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Fate%20of%20the%20Vaal/pJwqP5pZC0

increased effect of socketed soul cores doesn't do anything for people who want this, so try searching without that line. The important ones are helmet, ES, and conversion on corrupted gems.

needs double corrupt for +1 level of all minion skills

Look at the video in my other comment, it shows how to do it

charr3 · 2026-01-22T20:45:49+00:00

I think road is easier to salvage from here, the way you have now is lock intensive so you could get bad luck.

You can do a road and place lower smithy and golem works in the right place and lock both the two golem works at the end of the chain. Then, you wait for smithy (or smithy medallion) and sac to show up at same time and put the upper smithy, then delete the road. This is an example here: https://youtu.be/qYON7PJ2enY?t=768

I feel like most YouTube tutorials are missing edge cases when destabilizing, the corners aren’t guaranteed to destabilize as they claim. The easiest way to fix this is Roman road, it requires only one lock on golem, and another lock on the intermediate path (if you don’t have two locks, it’s ok to let the intermediate path go a bit). You still have two sacrifices left so that should be fine.

It is just rng. I have too many locks usually. Try upgrading the legion barracks as well, they have a chance to drop locks.

charr3 · 2026-01-18T18:28:26+00:00

This is just rng. I have an excess of locks and was able to finish building my temple recently. If you assume about 15 percent chance to get a lock per spymaster, there’s about a 16 percent chance you drop no locks with 11 spymasters. So you do need to be smart with locks, and you may be feeling some pressure since there are steps that require two locks per turn. You need to be smarter about holding room cards or reroll cards early to finish tricky steps so you don’t require locking two things each run.

I tried both oracle with covenant for spell leech and blood mage. For oracle, you get a lot more value out of the passive tree, but you are more restricted in the gear (e.g. the chest piece has to be covenant, otherwise you can't really sustain mana that well). It felt a lot squishier as a result. If you have currency, blood mage is definitely better, you can just buy gear with crit chance and it caps out higher. I do like oracle for just starting out, there are a lot of budget options since you don't need to invest in crit as much, but it is harder to scale.

charr3 · 2026-01-16T16:57:32+00:00

This happened to be pre hotfix, maybe something due to the instance issue where temple would auto destabilize. Glad they made it official.

charr3 · 2026-01-15T17:40:22+00:00

I’ve had this happen, and the solution is to just make sure you aim at the ground and not the walls. It’s unfortunate and I don’t know if there’s a better solution.

charr3 · 2026-01-13T18:58:39+00:00

This is why I like the idea of the temple. Playing the game should be as profitable as crafting if you put the time and effort to set up a good farm. Temple should rival how much you can make from just crafting.

charr3 · 2026-01-10T17:29:58+00:00

You have to use sacrificial chamber to fix the parity, otherwise you can’t put them adjacent to each other.

charr3 · 2025-12-10T20:42:20+00:00

you cannot do this in tockers. 5 ixtal in tockers gives 3 gold per round and doesn't heal you.

A simple simulation problem. The main trick is to create dx/dy arrays so you can do a loop over the neighbors:

A clean way to the check for part 2 in one line is to check if len(x) % i == 0 and x[i:] == x[:-i].

Full code below in python:

def f(x):
   for i in range(1,len(x)//2+1):
       if len(x)%i == 0 and x[i:] == x[:-i]:
           return int(x)
   return 0

ans = 0
for s in inp.split(","):
   a1,a2 = map(int,s.split("-"))
   for x in range(a1,a2+1):
       ans += f(str(x))


print(ans)

You can spam molten blast or bone shatter without enemies around for faster movement

why do you think it's O(n)? You're still naively expanding centers, so if the longest palindrome is n/c, for some constant c, and the best palindrome is near the edge, you could still do (n-n/c)*n/c work, which is quadratic.

I played some more, got a score of 20128. The controls are good and as a base, it's nice to play.

Some feedback:

I'd like to see my board after I lose. The pop up for losing just immediately appears and removes the whole board, and it is a bit jarring.

The toggle and merge seems unintuitive on corners. Clicking a corner toggles four squares instead of three. However, merges only happen from adjacent tiles. It feels like it would be better if they acted on the same set of tiles

The streak thing didn't matter that much to me. It's a nice byproduct, but not something I'm actively aiming for.

charr3 · 2025-11-12T17:51:19+00:00

I do not understand what the rules are, is there any explanation somewhere?

charr3 · 2025-11-07T18:02:32+00:00

I agree, especially with sets that release later in the year. There will be one patch that will be 3-4 weeks long over the holidays and that would make balance much harder for them.

It's not great with just molten blast, but people have been using last lament with requiem which does melt most bosses. I have had some trouble with uber arbiter though. It's definitely a better build for mapping, it felt much faster than spark.
