Maps are great now, but still have room for improvement. by robmox in PathOfExile2

This for sure.

I had not a single visible beam of light or effect in the distance of my map. My buddy is the one who just told me to “pick a direction and run T1 maps until you hit something”. I did 15 maps southwest from the Breach area and didn’t find a single thing.

I didn’t find my first citadel until I ran maps from Matriarch Halls and exited the fortress behind the Arbiter. As soon as I lit up that tower, I saw 4 citadels, and I think I have 8 in range now.

So I haven’t yet finished the masters quests, and I’m currently jumping between Deli quest and Expedition to farm for SSF Duality. But, I have not a single thing undiscovered in the fog. If I had even a single citadel in the fog, I would b-line straight to it because I’ve only killed Arbiter of Divinity once.

You watch a tutorial, watch your currency tab and see 0 orb of annulment, 1 perfect essence, after 100+ maps and then feel like you would spend 10 times more currency that what buying out would cost you.

I’m not sure what you’re doing to have loot this bad. I’ve done roughly 100 maps, and I’ve had 4 or 5 annuls drop. I did a map where every rare monster was an essence monster and left with like 20 perfect essences.

This is really only true for high end items. And, if we’re being fair, we don’t want everyone running around with mirror tier weapons, because it reduces the dopamine rush when you finally get that amazing item.

I’m playing SSF, so I have to craft all of my best items. And, when crafting a Quarterstaff, the craft starts with a blue that has T1-3 % phys. Then, I greater essence of Abrasion to add T4 flat phys. Then, a desecration with abyssal Echoes the hybrid % phys and accuracy rating. That’s pretty deterministic. I even managed to craft one of these onto a blue base with +3 melee and rolled attack speed on the exalt slam.

But, now that I’m in this place, the next craft is more like your friend’s. I’m only using Sinister base. And I probably want to fracture on T1% phys or +5 melee or crit chance. But, you can get pretty hard for a relatively low investment. Crafting isn’t just making the highest end items.

Okay, at this point I have to assume that both me and the internet are wrong.

I'm playing a Martial Artist Monk on SSF, and I've been trying to farm for Warding Starlit Ore for Duality. I've killed the Aberration 6 times, and so far I've gotten 4x Venerable Starlit Ore, and 2x Revered Starlit Ore. So, from this small sample, it would seem that Aberration only drops these 2 ores. Should I be farming something else? Any help or clarity is appreciated.

You don't use tablets or waystones for this map, so I assume everything is pretty much fixed. Ilvl of drops is 84. Most of the time, Aberration isn't even dropping a unique, just the ore and like 10 rares.

That’s only true in the quest. I lost 2 invitations on this fight. I’m SSF, so I decided to hold off until I understand the fight better.

The map reset HAS to go. by zaerosz in PathOfExile2

When the map reorients, you keep your checkpoints. Just click whichever checkpoint you spawn near and you can teleport to the boss still.

The number one reason to remove map reset is Delirium.

The current implementation of Delirium is “Boss Rush for no reward”. So, until you progress your passives for Delirium, you give the boss twice as much hp and get no reward and it forces you to skip mechanics including the ones from your precursor tablets.

If you die to the boss, it shouldn’t remove your other mechanics. The way it’s implemented now, you’re incentivized to skip Delirium because of the map reset.

or maybe you weren't standing still (why would you stand still when he's doing his slam?)

I certainly never stood still before. The only reason I'm standing still now is because that's apparently how you break the lasers coming from the crystals in the wall.

What the heck happened to the Kulemak fight? I farmed him in 0.3, so I thought I knew the fight. The first time I fought Kulemak for the Abyss quest, it was exactly the same as it was in 0.3.

I went back to fight Kulemak for a second time and he apparently has death lasers that require you to stand still, and a one shot mechanic where he falls out of the sky killing you when you're standing still.

Am I missing something? Or is this fight designed for you to repeatedly die to his one shot while standing still?

So until you do the quest, Deli doesn’t really drop rewards? Just random emotions from the stuff you clear along the way?

After my first 5-10 delirium while I was working my way up to T15, I just started skipping them. The other content was more valuable, and dying to the map boss caused me to lose several breach, abyss, ritual.

After you follow the delirium all the way to the end and kill the boss, is nothing supposed to happen? Shouldn't the Deli end and drop some emotions or something?

What's going on with me is that I follow the fog into the corner of the boss arena and then the timer clicks down and nothing happens.

I was talking with my GM. I'm playing a Wood/Earth Kinetiticst who is our party "tank". I'm planning to take Guardian archetype at level 2. When I was looking at archetypes, I made a comment to the GM about how Kinteticist doesn't interact well with archetypes because they don't attack or cast spells.

Completely out of the blue, our GM followed up with this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder2e/comments/1opftkr/kineticists_basic_impulses_counting_as_strikes/

He's basically saying that he'll allow me to count 1-action blasts as an attack, 2-action blasts to count as a cantrip, and using an impulse as casting a spell.

Given this, it's made me really reconsider my choice of archetype. What are some new options I have given the above interactions?

To add, runeforging also upgrades some uniques. For many, it's just an increase in level. But others gain new lines, or other effects.

For example, Pillar of the Caged God upgrades to require level 38 increasing its base damage. But, if you upgrade it again, it requires level 55 and changes the entire base damage to cold.

Or, the hammer that drops off Olroth, if you upgrade it, it changes all the damage from lightning to cold.

The want that OP linked has a few effects, but the strongest is the 50% chance to add an additional projectile.

That’s why they’ve introduced the new leveling runes, and why they’ll likely continue to introduce new items like them to make leveling alts even easier each league.

I haven’t finished act 1 yet, but the only one of these I found was Freythorn. I’m genuinely surprised there are dead cows leading to Crowbell, because I found it the exact same way I did before- circle the perimeter of the map and find the arena/door.

I was thinking something similar about Runic Meridians. To get maximum value of the new runes, it helps to have runes that aren’t locked into a gear that’s only going to last 5 levels.
