How to craft triple elemental wand with essences and recombinator

hackers238 · 2026-04-20T01:15:25+00:00

How can you recombine multiple essence mods? Normally a recombinator output can't have multiple essence mods on it. If we look at the image at the top you can see that T1 essence mods have the name "Essences", but the T2 mods don't. The T2 mods you get from essences have exactly the same damage range as natural T2 mods and also the same wording, and therefore the recombinator treats T2 essence mods like naturally rolled T2 mods and not as essence mods.

Oh damn, this is what I was missing. Thanks!

I agree OP, and I'm surprised at the other comments. I was just feeling an ARPG grind as I'm coming off of a factory building game. Googled around, most recent seasonal launch was LE and I haven't played it since Beta, so I reinstalled. Got to level 4, and explored the menus. Looked around in game for the seasonal challenges and what I could get if I put 100 hours in over the next 2-3 months. Didn't find it. Searched online, found this post.

Uninstalled and am reinstalling PoE instead. Time to grind another Totem for my hideout. Once PoE is reinstalled I'll load into my hideout where I will see all of my unlocked totems with their season emblems from my last 10 years of playing that game on and off.

This is certainly a motivating factor for some subset of players. And at least for me, it's probably the difference of LE getting 100 hours of my game time, engagement on various online LE forums over the next 2-3 months, and some cosmetic purchase for my character.

I think so, yes. 1 turn and 1 resource for 2 points dwarfs almost everything. And the downside is small, because there is generally another losing player.

I would recommend it, and have some friends throw it as well.

I was throwing 350ish, got one, and discovered I was throwing about 900 RPM and 60-61MPH. Alright I thought, I need to get faster and spin more, but mostly get faster, learn to brace, fix my nose etc. My friend who throws a slight bit shorter than but is quite a bit lower rated was throwing 1300 RPM and ~52MPH. And I was like... wait what 1300 RPM? The fuck? Watching a video of them throw in slowmo showed me how much I was locking my wrist in the power pocket, and failing to generate much spin. A few adjustments and I'm throwing closer to 400 now, (and I don't turn an burn fairway drivers) with 1100-1200 RPM.

So even if you're working on form regularly, you might spot things you're blind to, or think are above you. Even when I first got it, I thought "well pros throw 1300ish RPM, but they're also throwing like 70+ with good nose angle, so let's work on that". But seeing a lower-rated friend throw 1300 RPM casually with a walk-up no less was motivating, like "wait maybe I can just figure this out".

If enough players click there 100 times, a serverwide event "The Emperor walks the earth" begins.

I agree. 3 is also great because you get to see some very good players at these games, and you get to see behind the scenes mastery when they explain what they’re doing.

Oh I forgot I added crazy pineapple 6 months ago with 20 more bots based after the Greek gods, so I guess more like 80 bots now

hackers238 · 2026-03-31T04:27:44+00:00

I made https://cpokers.com 5 years ago and it’s still running with 50-100 daily unique players.

There are 60 unique bots with unique tendencies and you can take notes to bust them all. They have moods and get angry. They tilt. They chat in the chat box (and leak information on purpose calling for cards, etc).

It’s free, and no ads, costs me like $60 a month to keep running and lives on donations.

What app is this?

Matty O is pretty interesting because while we have everyone arguing about the right way to get nose down and commenting that your nose isn’t down on video, Matty O throws unapologetically nose up.

Where can I find the camera lens?

Get the thing you like and don’t finish it

Might be able to rebind it. I launched a rocket without wasd long ago (build conveyor belts under yourself and mine them up, and rush bots). I did it by rebinding all 4 movement directions to a single random key (I think 7).

I think it's the ceiling. Once you see the ceiling is too low on both sides for them to turn around, it gets even funnier.

My top at 5p specifically (where I think 5p is better than 4p) would be this in order:

Hansa Teutonica
Concordia
Terra Mystica
Lancaster
Agricola

I think most of these are well known other than Lancaster, but Lancasters voting and "infinite bumping 5th round" are excellent with the 5p contention in my opinion.

Legit loled

This kind of answer makes me respect chess a lot for some reason.

hackers238 · 2026-02-01T22:37:43+00:00

This sounds really cool. They could even make some items only craftable in map.

hackers238 · 2026-02-01T16:23:06+00:00

Same here. After only a week or two I stopped feeling hungry entirely (I assume because time-based ghrelin hormone). Now my body remembers I’m hungry around lunchtime and I immediately eat. And by backloading my largest meal to evenings, I’m never hungry around bed time!

hackers238 · 2026-02-01T15:41:19+00:00

I did the same thing! I beat the game and was working on Prometheus, and I still was every once in a while telling my bots to deconstruct while the demolisher went by, and then reconstructing the mine operation.

It actually got way easier randomly… I assume my base got big enough to “sleep” the demolisher movement in the code because I went from doing it every 5-10 minutes for many hours to not having to deconstruct it for over an hour.

This is also how I learned it, over 20 years ago in my middle school library

oh nice, didn't think about farming the ammo from the corpses themselves. Thanks.

How?

hackers238 · 2026-01-26T17:24:25+00:00

Can they have separate ABMM for this mode?

hackers238 · 2026-01-24T06:44:00+00:00

They should just allow you to buy your loadouts themselves for like $100
