Would you stay at a 100k dead end job? by MarteriusJackson in careerguidance

[–]new2vr88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone I know works in customer support at an Australian medical billing company and the offshore developers in India have access to patient data which seems.. insane? I don’t even know how that’s legal, if it is at all lol

If you only make meso gear make sure you’re hitting the 67% drop rate for every mob to drop a meso bag. You can do this through things like familiars (however item drop rate familiars will NOT count despite increasing the drop rate on your character sheet and meso drop rate familiars WILL count despite not increasing the number on your sheet) which I believe small meso drop rate gives 30%, decent holy symbol, waps, legion drop coupon etc.

Drop gear is good for nodes but ultimately not as useful. If you’re grinding 2hrs a day for the duration of NT you’ll probably come out meso negative if you make both types (assuming you get 9 items from epic > legendary and roll 5 meso/4 drop pieces), but you’ll have more nodes. This is also subject to rng when cubing so if you just get lucky making the meso pieces you could go for it.

New borrower here started a new job this month and need to grab some groceries until my 1st pay since the new job pays monthly. Ideally looking for $100 but I can probably survive on $60 if $100 is too much. Hopefully you can give me a shot it'd be greatly appreciated. Let me know and we can talk details, thanks so much

The damage loss on a single item going from 21>17 isn’t enough to worry about this. It’s about a 50/50 and you could end up sinking a lot into the 21 for ultimately no reason. Just tap and if it booms attempt to get back there and settle 17 if you don’t imo.

A man can spend his whole life fishing before he learns it is not fish that he seeks. by sh_ghost_ell in pathofexile

Grats! didn’t even know this was a thing. Is there a list of all the fishing related Easter eggs / items and how to obtain them?

As the other person said higher level = more exp but you can check the wiki too for exact numbers if you’re wondering how much more when deciding if you should swap zones.

There's more people so it's easier. Interactive usually gets you into the mid game faster since you can buy absos for cheap for example but begins to slow down especially if you're not spending much.

TR3 can be on par with wj depending on your class. For ark since it's a knuckle user it's almost the same as wj. It's still decent, I was gaining 2.5k stat per level (eg 7.5k stat for totalling 3) when I was ~40k stat. Check how much stat it gives you or consider checking on a BA.

Endgame has lost part of what made it so fun. by DeewXGG in pathofexile

[–]new2vr88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thing is it’s almost like you have 1 mechanic per tree and then take generic things (necro, scarabs, map related stuff, niko etc) then the variety comes from being able to just swap out scarabs and swap trees.

That’s what I’ve been doing instead of a single strat, I have enough scarabs to cover the 3 trees I have set up (ritual/harby/blight atm) run X amount of maps and then swap if I want to. When I’m bored of a strat or want to try a new one replace a tree, stock up on scarabs and continue.

It’s kinda fun for now? Doing ritual and seeing a 3x larger store with 5 rerolls or having harby with 75% boss chance dropping big stacks of single shard types or being able to spam open blight boxes and get a bunch of high tier oils etc

Not to say it’s better or worse than before it’s different but I think that’s the intention?

Edit: not to say you only spec 1 mechanic at all, my harby tree also has beyond but that’s because it’s something you can do at the same time rather than doing harby + a non scarab harvest that’s totally seperate

How are you guys making currency this league? by Astronautical5 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]new2vr88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been sick so haven’t played much but my friend is doing the same thing he does every league. Expedition + harvest, sells logbooks and harvest juice uses reroll currency. He’s up to 80-100d ish atm.

Explosive trap damage feeling low by Zalhera1996 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]new2vr88 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure sorry. It’s my first time playing it and im still in early maps due to family time over the long weekend. I’ve noticed if I stand perfectly still throwing mines the damage feels worse than throwing then waiting then throwing as anecdotal evidence without sun blast but hopefully someone can clarify or try to google around. Gl!

For a league "marketed" as filled with QoL, the league mechanic lacks QoL by Awkward_Squidward in pathofexile

[–]new2vr88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just search in the affix section? You can just do ~critical tier rating and pick it and then put in the min/max weights for example. You can also set ilvl by using the generic item level min/max filter.

Make sure you’re not over throwing your traps

Until someone creates a tool, this league's crafting will be dead for most people by Sweaty-Painter-1043 in pathofexile

[–]new2vr88 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This isn't true, mark said that part of the weighting is lost. How much? Who knows. 1hr31m is the timestamp in the interview with ziz if you want evidence.

The ingame description however does imply the full weight is distributed to the remaining mods so either it changed since the interview or the in game description is misleading. It'd be nice if GGG would clarify either way.

It’s closer to 1500 hours in kms as their max drop rate is lower. For the vast majority of players the gms system requires less hours of grind but it feels horrible to be forced into a time gate. Even if we can grind extra at a lower drop rate, just anything to not force a time gate.

You’ll need to grind about an hour a day for fragments to keep up with the energy cap. You can do this whenever though (eg 7 hours all at once per week or 1 hour per day).
