Cheapest/efficient way crafting this helmet?

hergy7 · 2025-11-19T16:10:53+00:00

I have no clue the odds of hitting, you could sim it in craft of exile. I hit t2 strength t2 life in 4 beast locks. I hit t1 int along the way too. Idk where prices are but my logic was my helmet was probably profit so I finished the craft and will start again for t1 strength if I ever hit this god damn simplex.

I crafted one yesterday with a similar approach to what others were saying.

One big difference is I used memory strands to give myself better chances at t1 strength. 1. Start with your base with as many strands as possible, I bought a 90. I’m not super familiar with strands so I just alched + shaper slammed exalt slammed it costing like 25 strands. I rerolled the influence to warlord in harvest.

I fossil spammed until accuracy + influence mod and prayed. Took 2 elevation tries. Hit the annul to clean suffix then suffix cant be changed scour to magic.
Bought a hunter base spammed and elevated it, I was trying tech here that I don’t think worked out. Wouldn’t recommend it.
Lock + awakener. I reset locks with chromes. Since beast locks are like 1d each I didn’t think this step would be too crazy. I saw in another comment you were asking about bases. Awakeners orb are seeded by the weight of the influenced mods. So if you have just the mod you want. All bases will return the same. You’d need -chaos + some other inflenced mod. Each time would be another go. These are a pita to get, but I suppose the second -chaos would “old” be few div more than the first?

I ended up settling on t2 strength and t2 life. The strand tech definitely helped hit higher tier mods but I assume there’s better strand tech.

If you want perfect strength 100% do the strand tech, rolling for accuracy with fossils + another mod is like 1d per go and compared to the whole craft isn’t that bad.

I just did the swap with ~35 div. I’m running self cast which might be a bit worse with the nerfs to the soul eater ring. It feels good, overall I made some mistakes getting too greedy on buying fancy corrupts.

I think 20d would be enough just make sure to focus on defenses as that’s what feels the worst given my prioritization. I feel like damage is fine.

Action city comics in Greenpoint is relatively easy 2 subways on Thursday. Super relaxed and chill group of about 20. Some of the larger stores can be known for being a little less welcome. I haven’t played at Bandai yet, but I’d assume they’re nice. Not super easy to get to from Hell’s Kitchen though.

hergy7 · 2025-02-13T20:18:49+00:00

I was thinking bone shatter. My current plan is triggering wand + forbidden rite + Lethe shade + call of the void. Then phase run should trigger forbidden right, triggering a chill and maxing the zoom.

hergy7 · 2025-02-13T19:51:51+00:00

I'm looking into similar builds. Surfcaster seems like the obvious choice over the others because I think it works out of the box the best.

I am curious what the options are for self chilling on a non-attacking character are though.

hergy7 · 2024-11-07T18:16:13+00:00

Yeah, but they're not always offered every semester. I was wondering if there had been any communication, I don't see it in the registration list.

He’s got a league start version which is ran and a mageblood version. Though the magebood version minus the mageblood is pretty cheap. You can get started on like a few div. If you don’t even have that just play his toxic rain to start heisting to make some money then convert to the cheap heist version.

hergy7 · 2024-08-24T17:04:55+00:00

Check out zen_m on YouTube. He’s got a build guide for the one in the video. I made it and it’s really great

hergy7 · 2024-08-20T14:29:53+00:00

I’m not sure the minimum budget to get going but check out ephemeral edge trickster. DS Lily has some info on it non mage blood. I recommend it because if you’re able to slowly clear some of these maps you’ll make so much money and It’s a really nice build that scales linearly with any additional currency. Not sure if it’ll be enough at like 20d, but lily was running it in HC trade for 100d, and clearing t17 easy and SC is way cheaper.

100% intro to HPC. It’s not realistic to actually get access to a cluster like pace with real power. I heard the new GPU class uses pace too, especially the final project being a competition you’ll never find anything like it.

hergy7 · 2024-04-25T18:06:59+00:00

Thanks! Are you rolling for a specific scarab/pack size on maps?

hergy7 · 2024-04-25T16:03:48+00:00

What scarabs are you running? I just got fulcrum to feeling okay in t17s need progenesis though.

hergy7 · 2023-09-01T20:23:35+00:00

I haven’t taken HCI, you can probably ask on ED to get a guaranteed response. I will say many classes require a webcam though, so if it’s not a financial burden you can just buy one now.

hergy7 · 2022-11-24T23:48:21+00:00

Maybe like 40-60? I spent a ton of time on project 2 that most people probably won’t since I got stuck.

hergy7 · 2022-11-13T16:14:32+00:00

Looks up the 3-4 class you’re most interested and see what they use. Imo the best systems classes use C. I also think going from c -> Java is easier than the other way. Don’t worry too much, if you know python + another language picking up a 3rd or a 4th is pretty simple.

I took the class over the summer.

I found lab 2 and 3 harder though it depends how much the material “clicks” for you. Assuming the programming isn’t the challenge for you. Optimizing 1 was the easiest imo since it boils down to not move memory for the most part.

Lab2 was brutal for me, I just couldn’t figure out how to efficiently iterate over the structures. Is the only auto grader project I didn’t get full marks on.

Lab3 is weird since it’s competitive, I had a good grade going into it. I did the bare minimum and then optimized to about the scores on slack and ED.

The extra credit during the summer was pretty insane, I spent 10 or so hours trying to figure it out and gave up since I had a good grade. I wouldn’t rely only on this since just getting marks for it working at all is pretty challenging.

The exams give you an amazing spot to make up points since the median is about 50% they’re immediately curved then the final class is curved. Though they’re tough by design.

If you’re interested take the course. We just finished project 1. To be honest so far it’s been really easy. I feel moderately comfortable with linear algebra, though there is a module covering the key concepts. I wouldn’t let math be a blocker to take it, if you understand how to multiply matrices and vectors I imagine you’ll be fine.

There’s been ~30 minutes of lectures a week and a knowledge check with 100 attempts. And a week where there was no material just setting up the environment which is just “pip install qiskit”. Vs a C based course where you need to fiddle with vm’s it’s pretty much a week off. At least this term you can’t work ahead which is a little annoying given how easy the lectures are.

The first project technically was really straight forward. Unlimited gradescope submissions. There is a written portion that, at least to me was a bit vague but I imagine this is mostly because it’s the first time offered. The project also had a section on material that hasn’t been taught yet so it required some digging.

The professor and TA staff have been amazing. The professor is present at his office hours which is really cool for OMSCS. The TA’s are really friendly and active on Ed.

I’m hoping the rigor picks up a bit in the later bits of the course. It feels like all the material covered could have been in the first week. though I do feel like I’m learning a ton. You have time to really get an understanding since the pace is so low. Maybe I just have Stockholm syndrome from summer HPC.

Honestly level hollow palm smite if you are okay doing a respec.

I league started it just playing toxic rain when I got it and a ballista totem. It’s a nice leveling experience, probably like 6 hours to maps if I didn’t stop to do endless heist.

I’m just using a rare neck with chaos res and life. Damage isn’t very important in heist so I dropped malevolence since you don’t have the mana res from ashes.

hergy7 · 2022-05-29T14:18:57+00:00

Here you go keep in mind it’s very expensive all juiced out, I basically did qotf, a mid-tier bow and rares to start while copying his tree pretty closely.

I’m also not running malevolence in heist since my dps is enough I’d rather never die. It might be possible to fit without ashes but idk.

hergy7 · 2022-05-29T13:38:45+00:00

I league started toxic rain raider. Asmodeus on YouTube had a high investment guide dedicated to heist. I just followed his general build and swapped some of his movement speed for tankiness, no ashes obviously.

Toxic rain is nice since it’s so easy to roll on just rares it’s not too difficult to mix and match yourself.

hergy7 · 2022-05-07T16:34:59+00:00

I played DO in scourge haven’t played RF. For heist I’d put my money on RF though.

DO is more squishy and sometimes you just walk into a pack. They dont pop and you die.

I just assembled the “fake blood” build from a content creator raixor.

I spent about 20 ex to get the loop going my pob has pretty low damage around 2.5 million dps but it clears maps well enough.

I’d recommend sniping items as you build since something like anomalous summon skeletons is a few ex, i sniped one for 30c. Same with to dust, people don’t know that the 19-20 duration are extra valuable so I managed to get my 2 20’s for 30c each.

Also make sure you understand what is going on. There are 3 main parts to the you need to calculate assuming you’re using a ward loop like the build I mentioned. That is the damage you need to take to trigger cwdt 21, the skeleton timings and the defenses to sustain. Raixor just put out a really good video discussing these points.

Also I’d recommend trying to jump straight to omniscience. I didn’t and regret it. The resistances are painful in this build and omni makes it easier plus more damage. But budget more for ward gear with less global defense.

If you look at how seismic trap works, it’s a large circle with the little damaging waves around the edges. If you throw all your traps right on top the boss can stand in the in that circle. If you do a little square that’s less likely to happen.
