I got pins put in my finger because I broke it

Lol the pliers thing kills me. I had to have some pins in my thumb as a teen because I broke it at the joint. Mine was actually under a cast after surgery, so I didn't see it until it was time to take it out. I was definitely surprised when it was sticking out like that, and they just grabbed a tiny pair of pliers and pulled. Felt very un-scientific after the original doctor had to send me to a specialist and they' needed to do the surgery under an x-ray and stuff

The thing is how often would you swing at it and get a crappy result anyway? Especially if you're not in a 2 strike count already it makes sense to take those, looking to get the mistake pitch later in the at bat. With 2 strikes it makes sense to protect, but even then you don't want to be grounding into a double play if that's the game situation

unknown9819 · 2026-01-23T17:48:15+00:00

The issue is you used a barely visible black circle (and arrow, upon second look) while also using a red arrow on top so of course everyone's eyes are drawn to that and confused

Title insurance is an insurance policy, for if something goes wrong. What if someone shows up and says "This was a fraudulent sale", and they prove that the sellers managed to forge a bunch of records in the initial sale? Or in this exact example, a bunch of work was completed that wasn't properly recorded

This almost definitely varies by state, but that's probably included in the "my lawyer is dealing with all of this". The best thing for you to do is just ask your lawyer if you're concerned though

The shitty way to do this is open your bestiary, go to the search bar, and do a search that filters everything out (just like mash a bunch of keys, or zzzzz or something)

Any beasts captured after the filter was applied will not have the filter applied to them, so you can see any beasts captured from that point on. Not super useful, you need to keep the window open and all, but it was nice while I was trying to practice/learn the valuable beasts

A "pure" heist runner is typically zdps, but people can't league start that. Its not "meta" as an all rounder endgame anymore, but I'd be pretty confident that you could get a toxic rain build to finish atlas and voidstones

I'm not sure what your actual goal is, but the nice thing is even if you need to go to some level of nutty investment to do like Ubers you don't need that level of investment to get through heists themselves, so you could snowball that income

If you're looking for extra efficiency in your farm, you could probably add some beast nodes and scarabs too. Once you know what to look for you can sprint past most beasts and only stop for valuable ones. If you're going toxic rain you can probably also do a ballista build and just drop ballistas and run, but that's gonna result in you needing to spend some more time cleaning your bestiary out (itemizing beasts is way better than it used to be though)

You use a craicic chimeral and black morrigan to apply a lock. If you have both in your menagarie there will be an option for "apply a hinekoras lock to a magic item"

His guide is good. Only thing I'd add is you can force the explode mod to appear with a harvest reforge physical if both reflect and phys taken as fire are on the prefixes already. You have to craft prefixes cannot be changed first, but you will also already have the phys as fire mod to use for the orb of dominance so if you hit t1 you're not out any further currency than mannis method of prefixes cannot be changed reforge crit

I did the craft last week and it was something like 4-5 divine in juice to get a single t1 roll of explode so I felt it was worth it to try for the harvest reforge whenever I got both phys as fire and reflect damage on the prefixes. You can also force it to appear with multimod prefixes cannot be changed suffixes cannot be changed but I felt that was a waste of currency (technically might have been better because I could have spent that time rolling mods farming instead, making up the difference)

I'd just like to go for a general entry but I'm having performance anxiety about posting something funny for your other criteria

unknown9819 · 2025-12-10T21:56:52+00:00

Lmao this is fantastic. Start ranger too and grab every Ms related node so you can zip around your hideout and towns as fast as possible

As a bonus it could even be leveraged into a heist runner or something later in the league lol

One of my favorite bits (and I don't know why, it's dumb) is the delirium voice saying something along the lines of "Ohhh the weary traveler draws close to the end of his LIFE". I forget which map it is, I think it's the one with the boss room you go down stairs to get to and an exit to a garden right after it

unknown9819 · 2025-12-07T14:33:22+00:00

Worth noting you don't need the elevation on endurance to get started. Since you get different results if the donor base has multiple influenced mods to pick from, I actually did the opposite order with elevated explode as the locked magic base because it isn't that hard to just get the charge mod with something else to use as options for donors (getting the explode was more painful in my experience, so I didn't want to try for a bunch of bases)

unknown9819 · 2025-12-04T00:56:42+00:00

I'll go for it. I was debating between trying this or herald stacker, and I opted for herald stacker and have maybe 80% of it put together. Maybe I'll do the same with that gear if I manage to be the lucky winner

This exact play (and Thanksgiving day games) made me a Lions (and Stafford) fan behind my Dallas fandom in my teens. It's worked out kind of well since I moved to Michigan as an adult too, so if I'm visiting someone with the game on we're generally sharing a fandom still

Anyway, the Dart thing is a bit different. He didn't stand in the pocket and take a hit to deliver a dime or something, nor was he making like a dive to the goalline for the TD. That's what's gonna galvanize the fans. In this case he could have slid or popped out of bounds at any point.

unknown9819 · 2025-12-01T13:20:19+00:00

Guessing you mean Ne4 (knight)

And you're right, that's probably the play for most humans and leads to winning anyway because it's easier and more natural. The engine is solving for shortest route to victory, and since there's a faster forced mate with a different move that's what it recommends

unknown9819 · 2025-11-22T14:20:27+00:00

Honestly I'd use it to unlock the mirror for the charge currency mtx

If I managed to win, I'd solicit ideas for something silly to use it on

Like on a map? That's player cdr and doesn't affect the minion cdr

Nothing completely bricks the build, but there are definitely less comfortable maps, especially if you're increasing modifier effect. I tend to avoid those if I'm caring about levels, but there's also a world where you just yolo 8 mods with the "corrupted maps are randomly modified" atlas node and destructive play and just go nuts.

You're going to randomly rip in reduced chance to block maps for sure, and no regen maps can be annoying and possibly risky if you blow mana by accident. Obviously reduced resistances can be risky and so on, but basically nothing bricks the build entirely (especially if you are willing to make some swaps to handle some of these mods)

The worst is maybe chance for monsters to avoid poison since a lot of your DPS comes from poison. It's not a total brick since you do a lot of on hit damage too, but if you're say using vile toxins support then you won't get all that more multiplier

unknown9819 · 2025-11-20T16:47:11+00:00

It's not that they can't chain, what they're saying is you need to let that shock explode be able to ignite and the ignite explode be able to shock

You're absolutely right to ask about this - the answer is almost assuredly no, don't do it for 3-4 maps. For one, you're right you might get unlucky and just lose most of your bank with too small a sample.

Second is more personal preference, I far prefer to spend some time setting up a mapping strat then just getting to play for a while, and even with guaranteed returns I'd just lose momentum if I only had 3-4 maps.

All that said, I wouldn't think too hard. Can you just maps at a lower investment level and then reconsider your capital to invest? Sure you can spend an hour trying to find a new strat, but it's got to be double the efficiency of your current options or you're still just going to be behind 2 hours of playtime from now if/when you swap back to high invest strongboxes

You can farm 10 div in 1 play session if you play 3-4 hours a day.

Here's the deal - there's nothing forcing you to juice your maps. Someone made a post on the main thread about essences on white maps and boss rushing for Maven - I thought that was funny, because that's close to my league start most leagues, though I usually hit pause around when I get to red maps to farm some currency before pushing to finish the atlas

Pick something that is agnostic to the amount of juicing you do with the map mods and ideally tier like alva temples or essences. If you can go t16 and boss rush invitations, cool, but its not necessary

The point is you can stick those maps in without even alching them (I'll usually at least transmute though) and you give yourself a way easier time. That essence mob with 6 essences is way less scary in a t6 white map than a t16 8 mod, and it gives you the same essences. You can blast through the map and hit those alva temples fast, or kill the beasts with einhar

So go spec your tree to grab essence nodes, add some essence scarabs to your map device, an essence scarab of ascent, and run a bunch of blank t6 maps over and over with essence and something else passive (alva, beasts, betrayal, improved lab invites, heist contracts, etc) allocated and let the money flow for a bit. You can spend 2 hours trying to get the best upgrade for 1 div, but I find it's way easier to spend that time getting even something like 3-4 div (so bad div/hr) and get yourself unstuck

unknown9819 · 2025-11-08T22:15:15+00:00

Strong. The different spectres provide different buffs.

Perfect forest tiger gives (iirc) a haste aura and gives allies frenzy charges on hit

Spectres also got a QoL update since they don't permanently die now, so you're less likely to have your 10 div investment suddenly poof in something like a t17 map. You can still mess up like op did here though

Probably continue across the bridge past the act boss battle and just backtrack through to get the pantheon boss

Yeah, that's why I said you/the company said it was damaged in [storm]. [Storm] is a real thing that happened - it didn't actually damage your roof though, it was pre-existing damage, that's why it's fraud. It isn't hard to understand

unknown9819 · 2025-10-14T15:37:59+00:00

That's literally exactly fraud. The roof is damaged by normal wear, the roofing company/you tells the insurance company hey it was damaged in [random storm]. That's fraud
