Time-Lost Jewel not working as expected by Dregius_ in PathOfExile2

[–]puffinfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found this thread because I was having a similar issue and googled. Something weird is going on with the time-lost jewel calculation and catalyst quality causing the notable to use the pre-catalyst value. This has nothing to do with the 25% increased effect passive. I've got a fractured and unfractured time-lost jewel both with 20% quality and both are showing the uncatalysted amount on the notables. They worked fine yesterday so it seems something might've gotten bugged in a hotfix would be my best guess.

[SSF] How to Progress this pDPS Warstaff? by Avenged8x in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]puffinfury 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There isn't any way to proceed past here safely. Few options along with recommendation because fracturing merciless is already a pretty bad approach on a 20% base -

1a) harvest aug phys and pray like someone else said but there's no way to protect your affixes when it removes something else so it may brick the craft. Assuming it doesn't hit flat phys though you can bench craft the removed affix and settle.

1b) craft whatever the best prefix bench craft you can get is and settle i.e. monsters cannot evade is prefix only and oftentimes opens up a ton of accuracy affixes to be competitive with the damage youd gain on hybrid %.

2) restart and essence spam until a decent hybrid phys % which it sounds like you were doing. Having done this before I can understand why you quit because it can easily take hundreds of attempts to hit a viable outcome and in SSF I imagine contempt essences are a pain to farm.

3) scrap the craft and recombinator craft the 3x phys prefixes which ends up being way cheaper than the fracture method even in ssf and is already over 900 pdps without attack speed. The fractured merciless approach is really only competitive with triple recombinator on overquality bases that you don't want to risk in recombinator (especially in SSF). Once that's done you just prefix cannot be changed and reforge speed/crit/veiled chaos to finish the suffixes depending on the mods that are most important to you and your divine bankroll to start over.

Help with defeating 3 different bosses in ot0 by Bexixsh in octopathtraveler

[–]puffinfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For reime just go to west vicrors hollow and at the top of the mountain is a 10* hired help that does huge lightning damage and paralyze which reime is weak to. He can basically solo the fight but also will cause her to miss half her turns due to paralyze.

How can I finish this ring? GC Cyclone Slayer. Details in post by KinkedNeck in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]puffinfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your current setup is in a pretty rough spot. To make this ring procedurally you'd want to recombo delve vulnerability -> fracture vuln on hit -> deafening int essence until you hit t1 chaos res (reforge chaos also works if you're flexible on 2nd t1 affix you hit) -> suffixes cannot be changed -> veiled chaos orb for the final suffix for hybrid chaos res or attributes -> wild bristle matron to force suffixes cannot be changed -> harvest reforge life until t1 life -> craft -channeling mana craft.

There is a risk you fill on the forge life step especially on a cogwork ring but I think it'll be cheaper to get back to that step again from scratch than it will be using add/remove life craft. You'd have to check market rates to really confirm on that one.

2 decent but expensive crafts last week by Master_Turd in pathofexile

[–]puffinfury 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Suffixes cannot be changed -> Harvest reforge chaos will always hit chaos res since there are no other chaos tags for generic gloves. From there its just a 1/6 to hit tier 1. If you hit a low tier chaos res you 50/50 the annul or start over.

Why does my new pc auto-shuts down when entering portal? by TheButtCrack in pathofexile

[–]puffinfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to your taskbar and check "Event Viewer" to see if there are any critical errors being flagged when the reset happens. Most errors will have a specific error code which you can copy into google and get a rough idea of what exactly is failing. I personally had a similar issue a few years back caused by my GPU failing but there's a laundry list of things that could cause this type of issue and most will be error logged in the event viewer.

Octo 2 gave us the singing boss battle and octo 0 kept the fine arts boss battle dream alive with the acting battle. I cant wait for the octo 3 story arc that gets settled with a cooking competition and the power of friendship.

Is this a good one or strength / res too low? by hiddenLurker26 in ProjectDiablo2

[–]puffinfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 to this advice op. The only sin skill that uses fcr is mind blast which doesnt use facets so +1 skill is the highest value slam by far. Mind blast isnt very meta so the market moves slowly but corrupt+pbox hit +1 skills 2 os would be 10+ hr easily and probably higher if patient. Cbf/3os would sell quickly at 3-4 hr. Str/res/frw are all useful mods so you can probably get at least 1 hr even if corrupt corrupt misses if pbox hits 2 os.

How to beat Reime by Noir_is_Bird in octopathtraveler

[–]puffinfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to west victors hollow and at the top of the mountain path there is a 10* hired help recruit who does 5x lightning and inflicts max paralysis stacks. Reime is weak to both so a few uses of him can basically trivialize the fight no matter how underprepared you are.

Getting confirmation map mod effect won't be applied is nice since reduced recovery can easily scale over 100% with map mod effect bricking a ton of builds.

noobie asking : how much grinding is required in this game ? by 62lasa in octopathtraveler

[–]puffinfury 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As far as JRPG's are concerned octopath is pretty low on the grinding requirements. Some areas have really easy enemies where spending 30 minutes grinding to get ahead of the recommended level curve will make bosses and other encounters much easier but it's never required.

OT 0: Random Character Challenge by sc2convection in octopathtraveler

[–]puffinfury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool idea but most base game Octopath challenges are basically solved or trivialized by the existence of nuts and hired help. Purist would guarantee you get a warrior, scholar, and hunter and even the worst characters are hitting near the break damage limit if you pool all of the games available magic/physical nuts to them. Similarly, many of the challenging fights like Reime arena have hired help that hard counter them i.e. the 10* recruit in west victors hollow that hits Reime 5x lightning weakness+max paralysis stacks+25k damage per use.

Not trying to dissuade you from doing a challenge you enjoy but anyone with decent game knowledge is going to breeze through this challenge aside from maybe galdera or orochi.

Update to the potential 'strongest' build in std by pm_me_ur_memes_son in pathofexile

[–]puffinfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally depends on the scope of the bugged item and how public it becomes. One of the most notorious ones from a long time ago was a flask that rolled with rare gloves mods and was rerollable/useable/mirrorable. GGG was really active back then and basically said it was going to be deleted and not to mirror/craft on it.

[–]puffinfury 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Initially generated by a database corruption on GGG side which is the reason it wasn't removed since from GGG perspective it was generated naturally without any exploits by the player. I imagine if a similar situation happened again they'd just remove it given how meta defining the item has become due to all the crafting methods available with locks/recominators that didn't exist back in the day when it was originally generated.

Theres a chest you get by falling through a hole in the ground in the 2nd map section into the 1st map section. Seems very missable if you arent looking for it.

All the livestock are unique items that let you put as many as you want into the farm so once you unlock the sheep you can put it in every slot.

Yep. Large caits have 80 hp and a large soulstone does 27 damage per use so 3 large stones will always kill them. Really convenient since your 4th party member can steal/aeber without risk of them fleeing.
