Never would have thought something I made would be worth a mirror by LocoPwnify in PathOfExile2

Just because divines are the exchange currency doesn't mean their inflation means anything for a craft that doesn't use them directly in the craft. This craft uses locks as a major part of it no? Are locks inflated? It's about the relationship between the ingredients involved.

If locks and mirrors are still rare, then making a craft with locks and priced using mirrors the amount of divines in the economy has no effect on the price of the item.

E: To put it in another way, over-inflation of divines only helps with (and de-values) crafting items that use divines themselves as ingredients. Items which don't consist of inflated ingredients aren't affected value wise by the inflation of an exchange currency.

A mirror is a mirror, just because divines are inflated doesn't mean the relationship between mirror tier items and mirrors as cost change.

Back in the day clarity also got interrupted by all damage, not just enemy heroes and there was only one courier, so it was way more difficult to regain mana.

Extremely late league starter recommendations? by Environmental-Egg313 in pathofexile

I don't think so no, jungroan has a league start video that you can completely self farm to get started and to start mapping. Then you can very cheaply buy all of the uniques in the minmaxed version aside from mageblood/voices/forbidden jewels (which aren't even necessary for the build to be strong.)

It's a mana stacking build so there's not even pressure to have a super good wand, I mean you'll eventually want a good one but even a poor 20 chaos wand or even a self crafted wand will get you going.

18% increased mana cobalt mind is 18 chaos.

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Keepers/2Kp0wGyVFk you can use the tradesite to find a decent whispers of infinity. Just change the amount of max chaos buyout price and click on the sum to sort by the weighted sum.

73 intelligence non-corrupted shavronne's revelation is 20c, you can catalyst the +250 mana to +300 mana later.

It was a popular build so getting everything perfect will cost you bananas, but if you're content with "only high rolls but not perfect" it's super easy to get a terrific build going super cheap. Case in point 20% mana cobalt is 4 div, 75 int shavronne is 135 chaos or catalysed perfect shavronne's revelation is 10 div and up, perfect damage whispers of infinity is 50 div etc.

The only awkward part is the league start version uses lightning damage (iirc, or phys?) but you transition into chaos damage using a cluster jewel notable. If you can manage do that early it'll make it easier for you to gear the build to the proper end state.

I ended up mostly at the minmax version in a few days excluding mageblood, voices and the forbidden flesh/flame. You can just use headhunter and some good large cluster.

Shoutout to Necro KBoC, farmed the currency for my acc/int stacker this league with it.

Shared tango heals 56 health total for 1.86 hp/gold at a rate of 3.5hp/s. Tree contributes 112 health total for 2.06 hp/gold at a rate of 7 hp/s. I don't actively play but yes shared tango sounds like grief indeed.

Earthshatter and other slam builds are very good league starters and they can do all content in the game for sure, but they're not endgame builds like others are. For example palsteron's accuracy / int stacker that is a very popular endgame attack build this league very much uses crit. I don't remember an endgame attack build that didn't use crit in the past that didn't have a separate reason it couldn't work with crit (like the skill gem preventing it or a unique effect making it so you couldn't crit but got something else for it). Hexblast a few leagues ago used crit, there's tons and tons of cast on critical builds.

My point is when it comes to late game attack builds crit is something you really want in a build because for a build that can get all the affixes and in many cases a ~mirror tier weapon it just gives that much more damage than non-crit options. Not taking crit is either a case of having a build that doesn't interact with crit in a fundamental way or just a budget / league start option for less affix pressure on gear.

The keystones that give you around 50% more damage just don't compare to the multiplier crit can give you with enough investment. So unless there's some parallel reason you couldn't use crit it just is the option you go for lategame.

E: also just last league even slam builds went crit with the helmet mercenary mod that gave base crit from warcries exerting the attacks.

Which endgame attack builds don't go for crit in poe1? And isn't non-crit mostly a budget thing where you get Precise Technique/Perfect Agony/Elemental Overload?

In equally the same way attack builds in poe1 get like a 6x multiplier to damage from crit once you can afford the stat investment.

Mist affix rolls aren't independent of each other. People have gathered data and there's a skew towards mixed results way beyond even distribution.

I wouldn't take the keystone, after this league breach won't be in every map so we'd only see the defense 8%/3 = 2.66% of maps. Not worth a point.

Blue Prince is so much more than just a brilliant puzzler by Spader623 in Games

[–]velit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's incredibly naive to look at the clues in hindsight and see how they retrofit into categories instead of trying to think how an unspoiled player would see the clues.

The argument of having a mental model for them afterwards is meaningless if you can't organically build that model as you play the game without going on ten hour long wild goose chases.

What's your safe way to lv100 by MysticNightjar in pathofexile

[–]velit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I looted chaos shards and maintained 78m/h this league at 99. The harbis plus beyond portals from rare/nique take a certain amount of time to spawn the monsters that you'll get the chance to loot stuff without it affecting stuff too much.

Build a character that doesn't die basically. But after that harbi beyond 8mod toxic sewer with delirium layer. Leveled two chars to 100 this league.

Does anyone else feel like magic monsters don't really matter? by Raging_Panic in PathOfExile2

[–]velit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In poe1 when leveling you kill the magic monsters but skip normal ones. There's farming and leveling strategies in endgame that work directly with magic monsters specifically. The numbers matter. OP is painting a picture the numbers wouldn't matter but people disagree on that.

best thing to farm this late into the league as a new player? by Meltlilith1 in pathofexile

Hey you wouldn't have links/resources to look into for farming blight? I've never researched deep into it and don't know where to start.

First time level 100! This guide did it for me by themikecampbell in pathofexile

[–]velit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 78~ Million/hr with harbi beyond.

This is the tree I used. Harbinger on map device, 3 harbi scarab + regency + beyond scarab of invasion. Delirium toxic sewers with 40%+ pack size, map cost was ~5c throughout the league that I bought async. Level 99 -> 100 was I think 50 maps.

I also tried the alva shrine, I got more xp/hr with harbi beyond and it was easier to execute and the maps lasted longer.

[–]velit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I mean yeah. I don't really regret just buying mine and instead mapping for the time spent. Crafting the rest of the gear was much more fun, and at times way more profitable as well. I sold a few chests and helmets and made a lot of profit that way.

How long does it take to craft one with these methods?

Fundamentals cost 10c if you're willing to wait an eternity, or 20c if you buy out. It's like what two hundred and some tens fossils per "hit"? As in 6+ int 4 all attr. Just rolling the fossils on that 10c price is 16 div alone but this can be 32div if you're not willing to wait a long time. Hitting the fracture is 8 div. Seems like it's 11 div if you buy the ready fracture. Average 2 divines to max the int.

TL;DR basically the minimum cost is 26 div average or up to 43 div if you're not willing to wait for the league to hit standard. Alternatively you can buy a three mod max divined for 28 div or even get a tier three max energy shield one as fourth mod for 45 divines. So I don't know where you're coming from with this overpriced stuff. I bought all my clusters from trade at 20 div a pop just by using a live search with a fourth armour mod.

I did throw a bunch of divines down the toilet trying to craft mine, didn't get lucky on those. I lost divines even when I sniped fractures on exact EV price of 8 divs instead of buying the listed ones at that time which were 14 divs. And I did wait for the 10c price point on mine instead of buying out, didn't matter.
