Uncut Spirit Gems? They’re kind of rare at the beginning I think, but that may be because they don’t assume you’ll have enough spirit reserve to run multiple persistent buffs? There are guaranteed drops going through the campaign on Normal and Cruel though. Eventually you’ll get plenty.
I dont even mind the auction house system to a point, as I am not required to interact with it...but if I need it, its there.
However, I dont like that these games with online economys have to be balanced around the people that play 14-16hr a day, or people that run bots 24/7. All it does is fuck over the common player.
To that end, I completely agree that a solid SSF is necessary, and I believe Last Epoch had a great system with the Circle of Fortune concept.
ahh man i messed up then. I got one spirit spell but want a diff one now. lame. lol

Even PoE1 which doesnt have any "bonus" for playing SSF there is enough ways to actually craft (not fucking PoE2 crafting which is gambling), that with enough knowledge SSF is completely viable. If harvest, beasts, syndicate, Rog, essences, a real atlas tree, scarabs, Scours, alts, div cards, fossils, ships (which I dont think is coming back) and a crafting bench were not in PoE you would get PoE2 where SSF is not viable, not fun, and super lame.
Yea People like Ben, Alk and Steelmage do it but they play for ungodly amounts of time (and even Alk has moved on, and Steel has flat said he can get to like 1/6 of the damage as trade league with no options to fix that). I think Ben at this point is making bad builds cause he is bored.
I'm sure any number of us can give you some extras if you want one. Guild bank probably has quite a few as well.

Check the guild stash, there should be plenty. If not I can drop some Rank 1s in and you can swap to your heart’s content.

i absolutely think MMO economies were better when the servers were subdivided, so the chinamen and ruskies farming had to be divided per server.

biggest oof ever. i was indeed invulnerable. i calmly swapped gems in the middle of the fight to try to see if i could poison him (spoilers he's basically immune to status). whittled him down. got to the clock. grabbed "all the mguffins" easily, but i couldn't see one right next to the portal. saw it at the last second. ran for it. one of the portals spit out a 'fuck you go slow. and i died pixels from grabbing it haha

Maybe I’m wrong but I bought on steam and Xbox both so I should be able to do this without paying another 30 right?
Yep it works.
