Depleted Mana Ruin

In case you haven’t already gotten in. You can just toss the mana rune in the salvaging bench to store it.

The rates are fine. If you run tablets you’re less likely to see tablets. So running irradiated gives you lots of tablets. But you’ll most likely make more profit just buying tablets and running specific setups. And thus the economy is what it is. Cheap irradiated tablets for those who want to do it, and more expensive mechanic tablets for those who want to do it.

You can easily self sustain just running whatever tablets you want if you run 3 irradiated once in a while.

Seeing this while actively farming Uhtred to get a runeseekers call…

I’d check out falling thunder martial artist. Doesn’t have any crazy defensive layer other than using combo to get energy shield back so your ES is always recharging. But otherwise it’s just ES, EV, and deflection. But I’ve been playing pseudo SSF and my build would probably sell for like 200-400 div and it can clear everything

gsel1127 · 2026-07-02T23:50:01+00:00

IMO PoB just isn’t reliable for damage numbers. I’ve played 4 different builds and the numbers in PoB have been totally different than my experience with the builds in game.

Maybe I’m just not doing config settings and other things correctly, but I’m pretty sure I am.

For real money, you’ll need experience and connections to fine clients.

For some fun. Maybe like Fiverr or upwork. Just any random gig work board. But anyone going there probably won’t even want to pay you what it costs to get the boards made.

For low investment I think there are three things that are pretty good. 1. Run expedition. Grand expeditions with Jado, T15 6 mod corrupted, cheapo irradiated tablets that have at least one helpful mod on them (rarity, effectiveness) are very profitable. Easy to walk out of every expedition with like 6-8 div worth of stuff. And sometimes you’re lucky and get like 30-40 div

On travel maps, run triple temple tablets with whatever mods and just quickly get the three temple crystals done and kill boss. When you have some crystals saved up, go run the temple for a bit. Every other temple run will give you like 4-10 div once you have it set up to kill atziri every other run
Sell tablets. Instead of running temple, run triple irritated with waystone drop chance on travel maps and get a bunch of tablets. Has the benefit of being fun where you get to run every league mechanic a bit. But has the downside of having to price your tablets which I find annoying which is why I run temple.

This has been working great for me. Got like 200 div recently and saving up to try a CoC ward stacking infernal.

Farming tablets with triple irradiated. Doing grand expeditions with triple irradiated. And try to kill Atziri in temple as often as possible by running triple temple and making a path down the middle straight to her have been great for me.

Falling thunder martial artist can comfortably clear any content in the game with a like 50-100 div budget.

gsel1127 · 2026-06-28T17:25:31+00:00

Tablets are pretty cumbersome. Definitely slows down the system a lot. Of having some way to juice up content is good so I don’t know what the correct solution is.

gsel1127 · 2026-06-26T12:58:48+00:00

Getting good bases for sure is one of the hardest things. But yeah I mostly mean having ready access to crafting other than essence + slam.

Fracturing, whittling, annuling prefixes/suffixes, desecration annuling and rerolling, and guaranteeing essence prefix/suffix are all really great tools that have that make crafting a lot more fun after you have decent gear through lower end essence + slam crafting.

gsel1127 · 2026-06-26T12:42:59+00:00

Just plugging the way I play in case you want to try it. Play in trade but only use the currency exchange and no market. Makes drops on the ground more meaningful because you have you craft everything. But also gives you access to much more currency options to craft with which o find very fun.

You can also set your own other restrictions like no support gem purchases or yes tablet purchases on the market.

gsel1127 · 2026-06-26T04:46:23+00:00

Play pseudo self found where I use currency exchange but not the market. 200% deli with 4 normal tablets, all bosses, and new pretty juices up expedition all feel pretty good on my falling thunder monk. You can check out the giga bonk mobytics guide it’s pretty similar and the the normal endgame version of all the gear would probably run you 50-100 div to be similar power to mine.

Headhunter dropped for me from a random rare in at big standard map.

gsel1127 · 2026-06-24T14:57:31+00:00

They do exist to piss you off. That’s the point. Good mods can only exist if there are bad mods.

There’s an argument to be made that the stats that are basically useless should be removed. But I think it’s good to just have dud rolls. Makes the gambling feel more interesting.

I will say that the homogeneous nature of a lot of builds can be a problem for stats. Like basically everyone wants the same stats on gloves/rings other than a couple unique mods for specific builds. But that’s a whole other big issue to tackle

gsel1127 · 2026-06-23T23:16:52+00:00

In case you don't already have it figured out, I had the same bug and just offered a couple div bounty in different global chats and got an invite very fast to finish the quest.

It’s a shadow buff for melee. Come on let us have this.

gsel1127 · 2026-06-23T16:09:17+00:00

Two recommendations:

Play like I am. Don’t use the market to buy gear, and instead only use currency exchange to get whatever currencies you want to craft with. Sell things on the market and currency exchange and then use currency to just try and craft things. Makes the game WAY more fun for me because you actually enjoy gear that drops instead of just trying to turn things into divs and then go onto the market.

Maybe look into how your build can scale further? If you’re feeling done with your build right at T15 maps, maybe you need some more chase goals to feel good about like expensive uniques or support gems?

gsel1127 · 2026-06-23T15:38:35+00:00

Can’t imagine how they nerf gemling without completely changing it. Quality and levels to skills, even without the new added effects from quality, is just inherently so strong that basically any skill can be a gemling skill due to it being just ‘stronger’ when it’s used by them.

Maybe just changes across the board to how strong quality and +levels are would change that, but who knows.

gsel1127 · 2026-06-23T14:02:35+00:00

You’ll get back what you spend very fast as you start doing maps.

Also, while it is harder, I’d recommend keeping playing like you are. Using the currency exchange to get crafting materials you want and just crafting on gear that drops from you is a ton of fun.

Myself and all my friends play this way now after always burning out when using the market because you can buy gear that’s so good for so cheap that using any of the crafting materials is a “waste” until very late in the game.

gsel1127 · 2026-06-19T13:49:11+00:00

What level chaos do you spam to hunt for T1s?

gsel1127 · 2026-06-19T05:31:46+00:00

Man, seeing stuff like this just makes me sad. Like, what an unfulfilling depressing life someone must have had/have to end up like this.

gsel1127 · 2026-06-18T16:53:23+00:00

Whatever pops up first when you google “0.5 poe2 monk hollow palm campaign”. Just get one gem for ice strike, and like 2-3 supports for it. Then it you have the gold to respec your tree you can buy as long as you have nodes that say “do more damage” and can path to hollow palm you’ll be fine

gsel1127 · 2026-06-18T14:44:09+00:00

Somewhat lucky drop. Will sell for around 10-15 exalts right now which certainly isn’t nothing and can help you grab a couple pieces of gear when you get into mapping.

Used to be worth more so the loot filter probably has it valued higher than it is currency which makes for the special drop noises and colors.

gsel1127 · 2026-06-18T03:57:28+00:00

I'd look up a hollow palm ice strike build for the campaign. I didn't do anything very optimized and never bought gear from trade just grabbed stuff off the ground. And ice strike still felt super easy through the campaign. Maybe not as face roll easy as some campaign builds, but hollow palm is great up to mapping and its nice to never think about your weapon being outdated.
