Nice got Audience with the King. Sold it for over 1000 Exalts which was about 7.5 Divines.

Was looking for a Copper Citadel all day, but thinking I should just focus on league mechanics for profit since the fragments only cost 1 Div, easier to get them that way?

Can see Citadels being more worthwhile when you can juice them and get more fragments.

Hit the lotto with a T5 drop, some sandals with +100% evasion and decent ele resist for all 3 +rarity. Lowest available on poe overlay was 35 divs and I assumed it was overpriced since it was listed a day ago. Put it up for 25 and had an asian person msg me like 5 mins later.

Richest I've been so far, total of 37 divs. Probably gonna go around and try and upgrade as many pieces as I can, will just save around 5 divs for exalts and such.

Feels good to hit it somewhat big for a change.

Man, I love the fact that half my minions get locked out of the arena on the third phase of that Crow boss, and don't respawn because they are still too close. That is some great mechanics right there!

Also, first drop of one of these, and I am less than half way through 89 (boo)

I vaal every T15 I run.

99% of my deaths are still Volatile Plants. The other 1% is the typical - who knows?

However, I undid my boss section in the Atlas Tree until I get to 90.

I have a 90 Monk and a 95.5 Infernalist and have yet to see a 20 Skill Gem and Perfect Jewler.

I have never found a 20 gem but I did find 2 perfects and strangely enough 2 greaters. I sold one perfect and then realized I still needed one. The fact that I have 45 lessers tells me they have the drop rate off. It should not be "that" difficult to get greaters and even the perfects might be tuned to high. The game is about experimenting. I do not feel like spending real money just for opportunities to try builds.

Fun question. What is the highest map challenge number you have had? Mine is 470% and I died to the boss.

I've had 5 Perfect Jewelers but no lv20 gems at lv91. I think map level effects it, it 100% does for the gems, I mostly run T15 only now.

So I’m 72 and doing maps now.

Is…is this the end game? Anything else I should be doing besides maps?

There are bigger bosses, but you need to do the specific mechanic in maps to acquire the items to do them (300 breach splinters to fight breach boss etc.) or find citadels to get materials to do that boss. Otherwise that's pretty much it unless you want to become a trial farmer instead or in addition to mapping.

I have 2 level 91s and have only seen 1 single 20 Uncut Spirit Gem and have yet to see any 20 Skill Gems. I ended up buying 2 of them for my main DPS skills.

I was giving SSF another try. It's obvious they want ground loot to matter. But I was getting fed up how much of my time was spent with inventory management. Finding your own upgrades is fun, but blasting monsters is the primary draw when in game. If I have to spend too much time not blasting monsters, I get bored.

So, I came up with a pseudo-SSF mode. Can use the currency exchange, can use dump tabs, but no buying. Gear will go into the normal dump tab rotation and if someone wants it, I'll check if it's a good piece of gear to keep for myself.

There's definitely some holes in this strategy. As leagues develop, the level of gear 1ex represents might be far above what you might want to keep for yourself. But it was only thing I could come up with the address the tedium of "crafting" upgrades.

I don't think GGG can address ground loot without getting rid of trade.

You can address ground loot, and people engaging more with ground loot for longer, by removing the antiquated, silly identification system and letting people filter ground loot based on stats

That works too. Of the three(ground loot, trade, "weight"), I thought it the least willing for them to budge on, so I didn't even mention it.

As neat as the loot filter is, couldn't just less dogshit trash infested drops happen? I don't get the appeal of screens of worthless dogshit even Blizzard finally learned that less is more with drops in an ARPG and they are fucking imbecile failures.
