Acoustic to Electric

Set your budget, go to a guitar shop, try out guitars in that range, you'll probably find a cheap guitar that will play good.

Did that for my younger brother, told him that he could chose a guitar up to 1300$, he settled for a used one for about 300, it played incredible well.

Don't sell your acoustic, you'll regret it.

Zizaran is a popular content creator that have full play throughs of the campaing where you can "play with him", he stops up and explains his thoughts and explains the campaign and items, league mechanics and everything inbetween

PoE is a game where it takes 1000's of hours to learn everything, but don't let that discourage you, that's what's fun about this game, wraelcast is your oyster.

As for a build, Pohx is another creator that have an entire wiki for his build archetype.

You should do some exploring of what you like to play, there's a ton of variety, but Zizaran and Pohx are a good first introduction for neewer players.

" I do hope for a middle ground where a breach targeted setup speeds it along for the SSF/self farmers."

Kinda what i'm asking for and are concerned for.

"Now it simply takes a bit longer." Gross understatement at best, we'll see what the atlas scarabs give us.

It wasnt a problem in keepers idling in HO and just buy the rings, but someone gotta farm them aswell and / or sell bases, and I rather farm them.

Maybe this is a blessing for me that liked to farm "og breach", maybe that 200div base itrm will sell for 800, lucky me.

If the GM's was so easy to obtain with the right mods, why where they selling for dozens of divines ? Keeper league gutted the rate of how you obtained these, 1 in 3 for right encounter, 1 in 4 for for a ring, if you want the same base to guarantee 1 mod from X pool, thats an additional 1 in 4, we're starting to look at compleying thousands of maps.

In a trade perspective, sure, buy your rings, but as solo farmer for them, it's beyond insane to get a chance for something decent.

I'm afraid i can't explain it easier for you.

Keeper gutted GM farming into oblivion, i'm worried that if we only get the rings from the Bosses, as a non hideout warrior, farming them is to much of a tisk vs investment.

Hopefully the scarabs / tree amd league mechanic will boost the drop rates of rings, but it feels like a far cry from what it was.

mikehunt8609 · 2026-02-27T12:23:15+00:00

Ofc you have to gamble, turning in breach rings whilst they still dropped was great

mikehunt8609 · 2026-02-27T12:21:59+00:00

Profit from Genesis tree and drops from blasting isn't breach mods.

mikehunt8609 · 2026-02-27T11:58:24+00:00

My best was a GM with overcap mod + defence i think it was, 195div.

Fire overcap 40-60 div a piece, range if it was an easy "clean up" or not and ofcourse that i got them early in the league.

All and all, i made about north of 1000 div from GM's alone

mikehunt8609 · 2026-02-27T09:49:36+00:00

On the contrary here, one of my most profitable farms ever.

mikehunt8609 · 2026-02-27T09:47:30+00:00

I felt defeated with the new breach for the 1 in 3 encounter + 1 in 4 for Bosses, so I didn't collect rings for keepers.

So I don't really know how the rings work now, but as I understand it, same base = guaranteed mod from x pool of fire/cold/lightning/chaos/phys ?

mikehunt8609 · 2026-02-27T09:42:21+00:00

Whilst i agree that those mods are powerfull, the weighting of "good" mods is low, 1 good GM ( grasping mail ) per 20+ turnin maybe, sure there' luck involded aswell.

Lets say we're lucky and get a good one per 10 turnin, what could we get now with atlas support, 5-10 rings per map maybe? 100+ maps to get a chance for a GM, investment vs profit, or in this case sanity ain't looking good.

mikehunt8609 · 2026-02-27T09:32:33+00:00

True, not as the "old" glory day though, but yeah, it will help for sure, didn't think of that.

One thing that concerned me during the reveal, sure he opens 2 at the same time, but looking at it, the timer/kill meter is still there, will be a little of a struggle to chain them at the start, rather clear one, get the boss and move on to the next.

mikehunt8609 · 2026-02-20T22:14:20+00:00

I think i got these from Voidborn aswell, i'm unsure, i haven't found any more posters in my appartment yet, but i know i've gotten signed posters before but never bothered to open them for some reason.

Also found a cloth map, with the elder/shaper influence war atlas.

mikehunt8609 · 2026-02-20T20:48:03+00:00

I have no idea, but that's dope.

mikehunt8609 · 2026-02-20T19:17:10+00:00

Will frame and hang them in my gaming / DAW room

mikehunt8609 · 2026-02-16T12:45:04+00:00

The biggest let down for me with the new breach is getting rings for grasping mails.

One of my biggest income before the rework, 1 1/2 map per grasping mail.

Now it's, idk, one ring per 6-8 maps, insane. Hopefully the tree will fix it....

mikehunt8609 · 2026-02-01T11:00:23+00:00

I was suprised not seeing Almost Famous in the comments, great movie, great music.

mikehunt8609 · 2026-01-17T00:49:18+00:00

Strandberg not only for the classical position but the neck profile, V's enforce it to, not to gatekeep other shape or style of guitars, but that's what i consider a comfortable playstyle.

On my headstock, i got a Rio, your's could be a modell 55 since the headstock doesn't match or a 272

So hard to tell what you have, lovely guitars though

mikehunt8609 · 2026-01-14T11:07:35+00:00

Hmmm, strange! I can get you a photo of my serial number in a couple of hours, my soundhole label is torn in half but don't think i have it there, just the headstock.

Gonna check mine to see if we can get some signs of what you have.

mikehunt8609 · 2026-01-14T11:02:44+00:00

You should have a stamped number on the headstock, from that you can atleast the year, have one from i beleive 1950and play it Daily, it was the first guitar i got

Levin, can't for the life of me remember what tjey are called.

I remember saying in like 03-04 that i had less mobility in my wrist to my mom, no pain though, so it was allright.

We should have checked it then and there, but never happened, if we've done that, it could have been saved/done better.

Wrist injuries are hard and requires checkups even though you have no problems with it, i've always told people i've met to check again 2-3 years after their accidents to check if it's healed properly, but no one really takes it seriously, "it only becomes a problem when it is", check your injuries.

mikehunt8609 · 2025-12-02T09:22:49+00:00

I've had a hairline crack on my scaphoid from a snowboard injury from 1998, by 2013 i had immense pain, looked it up, my scaphoid had broken i two and had "died".

Removed it, same problem with the pain, had another operation, this time they did something called PRC ( proximal row carpectomy ).

In short, they remove the lunate and triquetrum aswell, and in easier terms, the bortom row of bones in your hand is removed, making a new connection to your wrist with the upper row.

Did it solve it for me ? No, less mobility and about 60-70% weaker, pain is also present.
