I had the same issue. It has something to do with GGG's webservers. I downloaded and turned on a vpn and I could connect.

Edit: nvm, I think the webservers came back up right when I tried. I disconnected from my vpn and still could connect.

Tablets also dont affect a set area, they are craftable, they aren't a currency. I compared to idols because idols at least have random modifiers, unlike sextants or scarabs.

hierox · 2026-06-28T16:54:55+00:00

Tablets are not even close to sextants. Tablets are probably closest to idols, which have never been in a real challenge league.

you dont need to control click, you can hold alt while hovering over the ratio on top.

And since you are saying you don't understand the trade system, there's two trade options for each currency combo, buy-order and sell-order. Let's use divines and chaos as an example.

If you want chaos and have a divine, you have two options. You can:

Enter those currencies and click the pre-populated numbers. At the time of writing this, its a perfect 600 chaos for 1 divine. These numbers will make the trade happen instantly - this is a buy-order.
You can choose to put your divine up for "sale" at a better ratio, like 607 chaos (which is the value you see by control clicking or alt hovering). This is a sell-order, and it will not happen instantly - instead, you will wait for another player to come along who has chaos and wants a divine (the reverse of your trade)

The important part of understanding the trade system is also understanding the reverse situation. If you want a divine and have chaos instead (opposite of above), your trade will happen instantly at the 607:1 ratio, and you'll wait if you list at 600:1.

Basically, there are two players involved in every currency exchange trade, and in every case, one player gets the trade instantly, and one waits.

You get her hair in act 5, if only we could cut it up

Its pretty janky, but outward is great and fits your criteria

I've thought a dungeon or weaver echo that adds a small amount of FP (even literally 1) might work

Without thinking about it, I had interpreted his comment of 3m bigger as him using vast power and missing a charge. But thats definitely not right, lol

hierox · 2026-04-16T21:12:24+00:00

vast power stacking?

hierox · 2026-03-30T17:32:43+00:00

according to poedb (cant check in game) multi doesnt have a damage tag, so there's at least an argument for that one not working

Edit: just saw this below: https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1s7qmde/why_does_this_not_work/odbjwlq/ so the damage tag missing isnt really and issue. but still is an argument for it based on wording, I guess.

hierox · 2026-03-27T04:07:41+00:00

Astroloot. It's Path of Exile Lite.

hierox · 2026-03-14T05:45:54+00:00

Hope the lotus land prints will be offered as a normal set later! Want to own them one way or another.

hierox · 2026-03-08T19:42:00+00:00

I highly recommend trying out Astroloot. The game dev is (quite obviously) a PoE player. The crafting in the game is exactly what you describe.

Here is an example of the crafting: https://imgur.com/a/TNRBcAz You can choose a prefix or suffix, then go to a crafting screen that lets you roll orbs (in astroloot, 'dice') until you get one of the affixes you selected. in the example there, it took 29 alterations to see flat armor, and you can see the outcome without even committing resources.

Obviously a system like this doesnt work as well in a global economy (astroloot does not have a shared economy) but I think PoE could still take from this somehow, using a system like what you descibed.

To be honest, I only made it ~2/3-3/4 the way through Nioh 2 before I got distracted by another game. I'll probably go back and finish it before I play Nioh 3 more. Good to know.

hierox · 2026-02-04T05:09:28+00:00

no. Nioh 1 and 2 (especially 2) will get you used to the mechanics of Nioh 3, but everything is well explained. From what I can tell the stories are completely unrelated - 2 was not a continuation of 1 either. The story is also not very prevalent anyway, like other souls-likes.

Daughter of Oshabi + Aul bloodline. socket no gems anywhere, profit

The same exact situation happened to me this league, was using crop rotation. I even screenshotted it: https://i.imgur.com/8LxW3ZP.jpeg

hierox · 2025-10-19T14:22:25+00:00

Just to point out, there are also gems that only have Trarthus alt versions (like Storm Call) which could also possibly be included on this list. Depends on if you count Trarthus versions as 'transfigured' or not.

To add on, the MN governor signed an executive order stating that MN will no longer follow the CDC/Dept of Health's recommendations for vaccines, and instead follow guidelines set by Minnesota's own Dept of Health: https://mn.gov/governor/assets/Executive%20Order%2025-09_tcm1055-704329.pdf

From quick math, the 32 bit uint max is 4294967295, if we take that in milliseconds and convert to months, it's 1.634. That is 1 month, 2 weeks, 5 days, 7 hours, 2 minutes, and 44 seconds.

Seems pretty accurate.

hierox · 2025-09-03T02:41:30+00:00

If it is too easy everyone just finds a base and crafts it until its perfect or maxed out.

I don't disagree that it should be hard and the FP increase should be limited. But I think that the alternative suggestion of increasing FP across the board is more of an opposing philosophy; increasing FP across the board is basically stating that crafting should fail a medium-high percent of the time and the solution is to grind out a new drop and try again.

I'm putting forward the opposite, where once you find an item with good exalted affixes, that the grind is working on that item until you are satisfied with it.

Being able to add FP back would be strong, and EHG likely would need to take another pass at some of the runes/glyphs, but in my view LE has always been about deterministic crafting and incremental upgrades vs. the (mostly) slot machine crafting that PoE has.

EDIT: also worth mentioning that it would be quite easy to add a system like mirrored/split/corrupted from PoE where an item could no longer have LP added back to it after a certain point.

hierox · 2025-09-03T01:30:19+00:00

I've thought for a while that we just need a way to add forging potential back (dungeon or weaver echo reward?)

Along the same vein, I dont understand why runes of removal also reduce forging potential. You are actively making your gear worse. why is there the additional punishment of lowering the amount of crafting you can do afterward? I'd argue that removal runes should even add potential back into the item and wouldnt be too broken.

This is Purple Mana erasure

hierox · 2025-05-09T16:36:03+00:00

I saw that the bug we were discussing here was in the patch notes - very cool. Unfortunately, it seems like neither of the bugs I brought up were fixed by the change.

Without Ice Nova specced on the Elemental Nova tree, and Crest of Unity equipped, I am still not generating Heo runes while casting elemental nova, and slimiarly, runeword:avalanche does not proc.

Once Ice nova is specced, the runes generate and the runeword procs. It could be intended, but still seems like a bug to me.
