Path of Exile 3.24 - Necropolis
- Thread starter Squrf
- Start date
No no, it was all within about a 4 minute stretch while I was running around the causeway. I used up all of my luck for the entire league.
Nice. Now you can afford one quarter of a pair of Ralakesh's Impatience boots, almost. (17 div at time of writing.)
I have been watching streamers spend hours and crazy money to fail at the league mechanic. That is not so good.
Streamers failing at making 6x perfect tier 1 mod items seems like a reasonable outcome for week one of the league. I'm just hoping now that I've put my 3rd atlas tree (best change ever) fully into the league mechanic, I can start making stuff for myself that'll be usable. Still have yet to equip anything from the graveyard past act 2.
Yeah I'm saving up my stuff while they get the crafting figured out. Definitely looks like Craft of Exile league.
It wasn't divines but I had a "May drop as scouring" show up, I dragged it to the top and plugged in Exiles and got 120+ scourings from it so that was nice. Trying this on vaal orbs ended with 61. So I need to find one with divines.
I also had a fun bug in Park where I guess there was conversion and I ended up with an ever growing pack of wolves traveling the map eating everything. Usually with conversion they attack everything in 10 feet, then hang out. Whose the good doggy? You are!
Red maps are a little rough so I lose XP faster than I get it. I replaced my MH for a little more damage. The neck I need is apparently over 40 div so that will not be happening.
I'm filling my bulk tab very quickly with coffins.
Also nice that whoever was using Miner_Threat let that name go.

The atlas tree is fucking insane now, so just doing various variations of alch&go is real simple now. Of course the usual suspects are still figuring out the most lucrative ones, but between the new scarabs and the atlas tree being so much better it's very easy to get a steady source of income without thinking too much about it.
I've had a complete lack of big ticket items and literally no natural divine drops so far, but I've been getting by just playing without paying too much attention.
Of course at the moment I'm visiting my parents, so no playing for me.
Whelp, I was going to do some heist to farm some currency, but after 3 lags out ("pathofexile.exe has stopped responding") I guess heist is off limits.
I've been very happy with the new scarabs in SSF. I don't self sustain a single strategy, but with three trees I'm able to churn through a stack of scarabs, then swap to a new set for another tree and churn through those, and by the time I'm out, I always have a few maps worth of some other set ready to go. Obviously not for the really high value stuff, but things like strongboxes, essences, expedition, harvest, Jun, Alva, or even just running miscellaneous bonus ones like mysterious barrels, I always have some stuff to put in that feels productive.
Noob here playing the campaign for the first time, only just starting act 4.
I finally had to read up on the Dominus fight after my witch and then ranger both died during the red screen. I wore him down thanks to respawns but my ranger had just finished the first labyrinth / ascendance to deadeye on the first try so I was expecting to do better.
Huh, it's blood rain and you're supposed to stand INSIDE the ominous yellow magic circle to stay safe? Normally when I see a boss with a big glowing circle around them it's a sign to stay far away. Oh well, read web pages and learn I guess. That also seems a tad unfair to ranged DPS characters, grumble.

Well, now you know. That fight was definitely a fiesta of dying and running back my first few times too. You'll get it. Just keep your life and resistances up, and you'll be fine.
The boss also has a fairly slow melee attack, so ranged characters can just run behind it when it starts its swipe animation. But yes, that fight also caught me out when I first played PoE.
I don’t remember the blood rain part of that fight ever causing me an issue but I’ve definitely died to the pre-fight entertainment and to Dominus when he shoots the cold/lightning ghosts at you.
Edit: looked it up and I guess the ghosts are just lightning. I guess only the totems he drops deal cold. Anyhow, getting chilled and shocked so that you can’t avoid his slam is bad news.

So, neat fact: Tier 17 maps naturally drop ilvl 84 cluster jewels. My super ghetto money strat is therefore:
Perma Delirious, 70% increased map mod effect tier 17's, running scarabs for reward tile count and rate. I also incidentally run Scarab rate and Harvest because they multiply with map modifiers really well
I end up typically going 7/7/7/7/7/5/3/1 reward tiles and getting 20+ ilvl 84 clusters per map. Only problem is that you have to sell the clusters. There are like 10 variants that sell for 50c+, 4 or 5 that go for 100c to 1div, and 2 that are 10+ div. Then you can 5:1 vendor the bad ones. And holy crap, the CJ price fixing is so bad. Ninja will have you vendoring 50c-100c clusters (10 passive minion, 2 passive chaos res).
I'm pulling in 2ish div per map, with no big hits yet.

I've only used it so far for levelling 5Ls or the uniques (after having to look up how many members there are per family since I don't think that's in-game anywhere) but after the free coffin change I'm definitely banking them - there's enough guides coming out that I know at some point I'll be able to sit down and have a decent shot at adapting someone's pattern or using a calculator to make something nice - probably ES gloves with crit multi and unnerve on hit, and then we'll see from there.
Until I figure out a full good/bad list I'm grabbing everything except randomize adjacent - some I know are good (fracture, additional craft, special bases, increased row/column/adjacent effect...) but I don't have a good feel for the rest.

Streamers with spreadsheets and graveyard maps spending fortunes then failing after literally hours of planning and buying for a single attempt, really sold me on the mechanic.
I'm trying to match up some orange dead people but so far those seem to work like the McDonalds Monopoly game and that there is a very rare one in each set and the rest are common so I haven't been able to do a single one of those. Maybe it is just my luck.
T17 should drop in T16 right? I haven't seen a single one of those.
I still haven't gotten a "Things drop as Div" either.

Still no "things drop as div" on my end either. Total 11 divs on the season, 7 of which were a single Blueprint I ran that gave me a stack.
Got an Alternating Scepter out of the graveyard, didn't spend many corpses crafting it well so it was bad, but as a base for Harvest rerolling, it was fine.
Currently stacking corpses for a properly crafted Alternating Scepter, hopefully to hit +2 and some crit. Gem mod corpses are rare as hell though. Doing all kinds of +gems, +caster, +crit, -speed, -element, -attack, +mod tier. I'm hoping that by reducing element and attack, stacking caster and gems, I can hit +1 all spells and +1 phys spells without hitting +cold or anything like that. Stacking +phys would add all the phys attack mods to the pool so I really don't want to stack those. Graveyard is almost full but I just don't feel confident in my odds without like a thousand percent more gem mods.
+ mod tier was clearly a mistake from GGG. The expectation for 6x T1 items or bust is stupid.

I am stuck in low level maps, just grinding them out to get the chaos to get a fair 6 link thicket/grove bow to upgrade to.
I've been loading up a wand craft, but I realized I'm doing something I hate, which is to try to make something really fucking awesome, every time I try that I get bored before finishing so I just end up spending time and currency on a half done product sitting in my stash. So I'm gonna fire that one off when I get a few more corpses I need and then just aim for "Great but nowhere near mirror" grade gear. Honestly from what I've seen the mechanic after the buff seems excellent for relatively powerful casual crafting, like you can pretty much wing it as long as you understand how tags work.
In general it's been a pretty productive league for me, taking it pretty chill but I need to upgrade my character a bit to venture into T17's. I'm liking a lot of the changes, multiple atlas trees is obviously awesome, making the ubers vs normals meant I could buy a maven writ for 80c or something which was pretty sweet. Balance is obviously all over the place, but no one with a functional prefrontal cortex should be surprised at that.
Speaking of Cortex, I ran one of the lower tier synthesis maps that Kirac sold to me, and the boss was nice enough to drop a Cortex. Of course it had horrendous mods so the boss bullied me a bit, but it worked out in the end.
If you need to roll a second character I highly recommend BAMA leveling. Even without full sweating it like the guide(just did Tabula and Quill/Doom, no gem swaps after Doomfletch) I still did a 4.5 hour campaign including uber lab and passives. I didn't even bother to ascend until just prior to Kitava when I ran all labs back to back.
On a general note, for casual no brains required alch and go spam, Alva + Blight is really quite nice these days. Steady reliable income, little effort. And leaves enough atlas points to pick up some other stuff as well, for me that would be the guardian/conqueror map drop nodes since I kinda like doing those fights now and then. Also some scarab nodes because I really couldn't figure out anything better.
You looking for triple ele or massive phys or something more unusual like big chaos?
If you want big phys what secondary thing would you want on it? Poison? Bleed? Impale, or blind? Pure phys for the little extra?

This, its a pretty generic lightning arrow deadeye. I have a decent 4link, need to move to a 5 or 6 and have about 30 chaos to my name at the moment. I spent 15 chaos on a 5 link body armor. At some point I will need to upgrade that as well to a 6 link.
I did do by first Catarina fight in intervention. Got my ass handed to me. I need to learn that fight!
The best way to get a starter 6L is to just buy a white 6L of the appropriate type and throw a greed essence or two on it. Chances are you'll hit at least decent enough mods pretty quickly. Shouldn't cost more than like 10c for a good base at this point in the leage. Hollar if you need a chunk of chaos to get you going.
You can also 6-link any (non-corrupted) 6-socket for about 30c with beastcrafting (24c Black Morrigan + 6c sand spitter), so if your current bow has really good damage and the links are the only issue that's worth considering, or finding a higher DPS base so you're not fiddling with your current gear/over-investing in a low DPS item.
Might not be worth it in this case vs. essences but worth considering at least - it's absurdly cheaper than using fusings.
I haven't tested the edge of what's comfortable for that fight but unless you're struggling in yellow maps it should be fine. I'm not in the guild but friend/whisper me if anyone needs help for that - character name "Lenticulare".

I've also got handfuls of big essences in most flavors that I'm happy to donate to the guild chest or otherwise, just let me know.
Been steadily trying to fill out my atlas before specing into anything. Finally caught a break from a random Ritual, of all things, that handed me a 21/20 gem worth 5 Div. That's probably all my luck for the league.

I put a decent chest in the chest tab. There was another decent 6L in there already. The one I put in is a little better. I dropped the 6L failure (struck out with all methods of crafting) in the 2H weps tab. The 6L that is ready for a phys craft I failed to 6l so it is not super useful. Hopefully those help.
I just noticed the damage on the 6l (porcupine) bow. it is trash level. I didn't throw the deafening cold damage essence on it. I could do that as it is ele.
Oh hey, look what I found lying on the ground.
Edit: was thinking that's all my luck for this season, but apparently not. 5 minutes later the game dropped me a divine, and then I decided to do a Veritania citadel since Kirac was nice enough to offer one up, and she dropped a redeemer exalt. When it rains it pours I guess.
Code:
Item Class: Stackable Currency
Rarity: Currency
Hinekora's Lock
--------
Stack Size: 1/10
--------
Allows an item to foresee the result of the next Currency item used on it
Modifying the item in any way removes the ability to foresee
--------
Right click this item then left click an item to apply it.Edit: was thinking that's all my luck for this season, but apparently not. 5 minutes later the game dropped me a divine, and then I decided to do a Veritania citadel since Kirac was nice enough to offer one up, and she dropped a redeemer exalt.

Got +1500% chance of gems, failed to roll a single gem mod on the weapon
Still an upgrade because 5x perfectly rolled tier 1 mods is good, but my god. It was definitely a mistake to throw the little bit of extra fire mods on there, should've stuck to my guns on just minus every elemental mod. Would've increased my odds of hitting that gem mod prefix and reduced my odds of full suffixes so I can craft trap throwing speed.
Ok, so Cluster Farming seems to be profitable - not been going too hard at it, but in 15 t17 maps, I made 4 12 passive minion clusters, and 2 3 passive reservation. In addition, i burned all my harvest juice rolling clusters for fun and profit. Area mediums and Chaos smalls. Made 1 15 div Chaos cluster, 3 2 div chaos smalls, and 4 4 div Area mediums (which I am using 3 of), and sold all the valuable fails because I had infinity cluster bases. Lol.
Total from just the "Big" clusters is ~30 div.
Other misc clusters ~10 div
Rolled clusters ~35 div
Problem: Market is extremely easy to saturate. They prices have been dropping hard, and show no sign of slowing down. I feel like it's going to suck soon. Lol
Additional note: Sim seems to be the best source of Stacked Decks. You're pretty much guaranteed to break even off of nothing but stacked decks. Each div card reward tier = 1 stacked deck, so it only needs to show up 6 times.

Accomplished a long-time goal today. Killed Maven on my own. I think I've only attempted her once before and I knew it was not a fight for me. But, wanted to do it at some point. Had 3 deaths. The memory game while the lasers are revolving is ridiculous and I couldn't tell what was happening. That was the only time I failed it. Don't think I'll be doing it ever again. EA Champ has been a great fit for me and despite only 1 natural div drop, I've been better about making currency and probably invested 25 div into the build so far. I paid for an uber elder carry and we'll see about doing that one on my own next.
I must be forgetting something or my game is broken.
I have had Maven witness all maps 14 and up and haven't gotten an invitation. Kirac has an explanation point above his head and will not talk to me about anything including the Kirac memories I just fired up.
Derp. Kirac now scrolls down.

It's actually a fun fight IMO, very gratifying once you get the hang of it. even though I suck at the memory game.
Also @Crackhead Johny can I get a guild invite at some point? I'm pretty sure my guild is more or less empty by now, and if someone starts playing I guess they can just join the Ars guild as friends.
I keep throwing all kinds of shit in the guild stash out of habit but it feels kinda wasteful.
I'm just not feeling it this league. Maybe it was my B-tier starter but I barely have played since I made it into maps and only got into yellows.
