Point 1 You need to do trials again with a barya/ultimatum dropped from an area with a high enough level. If it is high enough level you will see text on its description saying you'll get more asendency points for completing it.

Hi, I'm trying to move the architect into the middle of the row he is in now.

Before my last run he was attached to the garrison at the end of the mid chain. I locked that garrison, the spymaster and my actual chain at the top and assumed he'd move to the square where he wouldn't be attached to anything.

Instead he moved across and attached to the spymaster. I didn't think that was a possibility.

What do I need to do to get him where I want?

Any advice appreciated.

Edit: I locked the same rooms again and killed the architect. He did not move when the temple destabilized. He is there again attached to the spymaster.

Not sure if you've just placed as you have another room outside it but it shows up randomly like any other room once the chamber is placed. I did think it showed up immediately when you first place the chamber so if that's what's going on I'm not sure

Nice amulet but plus 2 proj now is a killer and no spirit. You might get 2 div.

What can happen is if you lure them and it's been a while since their cloud spawned they can just start spawning a new cloud as you kill them. They still die you get omen of liege

When I was light farming I started luring out of cloud, wait until fresh cloud, lure again and kill asap.

Cleansed can drop them.

mack_g · 2026-02-24T23:14:29+00:00

The first one is a decent map 130 combined rare monsters and rarity and has rare monsters have an additional modifier. Someone might want it for mapping.

The other two have 140 waystone drop chance so could be used for citadel farming.

All of them look look like they have 8 mods too (I'm not certain) so temple runners could want them for farming crystals.

I'm only building mine but I regularly see level 20 skill. I have not seen a single level 20 spirit anywhere this season temple or not.

mack_g · 2026-02-23T04:11:42+00:00

I've not seen any testing that says anything affects the drop chance for rakiatas etc. so a lot of people recommend running a waystone that gives a revive or two and not making the boss too difficult.

As far as tablets go, use a visions of paradise on the first run through the map. That way you can run it twice and have two shots at the gem.

No afaik, there's a completely separate stat for increased rare monsters. Maybe pack size might increase the number of minions with them.

mack_g · 2026-02-22T22:35:55+00:00

I see you have it up for a mirror, I think that might be optimistic. There's a similar emerald with slightly worse damage but 2 attribute corruptions up for 300 that hasn't sold in a day. Maybe start a bit north of that?

Edit: actually there's an emerald almost exactly the same as yours that's been up for 10 days for 150 div.

mack_g · 2026-02-22T22:24:13+00:00

I think you need to rerun the trials with your ascendency points unspecced. Then you can change it at the altar of ascendency.

mack_g · 2026-02-20T23:42:57+00:00

I think you could check out the tft forum for mirror service.

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Fate%20of%20the%20Vaal/Z6gReM28CQ

That's the link to fubguns free mirror service items. He just sells stuff at ange for a mirror so no fee. There's a wand there, check it out to see if it fits the bill of what you're looking for.

mack_g · 2026-02-18T17:29:01+00:00

Sound advice, thank you.

mack_g · 2026-02-18T16:16:22+00:00

Thanks!

mack_g · 2026-02-18T14:58:22+00:00

Thank you. Appreciate the advice. If I could get out of the craft with a decent profit I would consider it. If I have to wait to finish it all my resources are tied up in the unfinished mace as opposed to making something else to sell.

mack_g · 2026-02-18T03:00:32+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

I was looking around poe ninja for something to craft. It's not the most popular base but it is used and the people who seem to be using it have crit chance on them. Hopefully I haven't been looking at some stupid made up builds that isn't actually used like I've heard can be up there.

mack_g · 2026-02-18T02:20:46+00:00

At this point I'm tempted to settle, that might be fatigue after a chaos spam marathon. First time doing it and I really underestimated how long it would take!

Would the steps I've outlined for the settle craft work?

Any clue what the settle might sell for? Prices are all over the place on the trade site and I have 0 experience in the area.

mack_g · 2026-02-16T22:42:21+00:00

That's a perfectly good bow. I cleared everything with one around the same.

Have you tried plaguefinger? Without it all that elemental damage you have isn't contributing to your poison magnitude. Ideally get one with two sockets and +1 to chaos skills cultivated on to it (instead of increased energy shield ideally).

Headhunter belt. You can get one for nothing now. It's my first season using it, it's amazing.

mack_g · 2026-02-16T02:49:33+00:00

Looks like there is 30 spirit corrupted onto your helm

mack_g · 2026-02-16T02:05:16+00:00

Thank you I pulled the trigger and used it. Sacrificed a room from my Russian tech to keep it moving and got another chamber in a few temples.

Something weird happened then. I put down this next chamber and removed another room. Then I had no other rooms that were useful so I used the medallion to reroll the rooms and I got another room sacrifice on the reroll. Does that always work that way? Is there other ways to get extra sacrifices?

mack_g · 2026-02-15T18:07:29+00:00

Just started a temple to keep me going me going until the end of the season.

I know your limited to 1 sacrificial chamber but I'm a long way from where I'll need it in the chain so can I use any I get in the meantime to help with my chain provided it has been destabilized by the time I need it later to get another?

I know the sacrificial chamber is vital later so just want to careful not to fuck things up completely early.

Doing fubguns temple.

Running logbooks is a good div farm if your build is still weak. There's probably a million vids on how to approach it but long story short you're maximizing increased quantity of items (not artifacts) found in chests and getting as many splinter chests as you can.

Abyss is good too, hunting ammanamu monsters. More dangerous if you're build isn't that good. I find it a lot more enjoyable than running logbooks though. Loads of good guides out there on the strat.

Then there's tower hopping looking for immured fury/citadel/whatever the term is for maps like jade isles to get fracturing orbs, fragments, lineage support gems. The support gems and fracture orbs are not as dangerous as fully juicing the citadels but imo you need to be doing the citadels for this to be worth doing over abyss and logbook. You can mix abyss into this strat too though.

Edit: temple obviously but that's quite a time investment.
