hexblast mines still a thing this league? Had a blast (no pun intended) last league with it.

He's not doing tainted pact, but I'm also not certain why he's using golden rule. Surely lancing steel stacks 100 poisons within 4s easily without needing to reflect them to himself. Nor am I sure how he's surviving them.


Did they really repeat their 3.22 Return Projectiles support and forget to add "and Ailments" to lancing steel of spraying?

Shit man, it looks almost like you're playing a completely different game than I am. You get the amount of drops in about 3 maps that I've gotten in 50 hours.

I think we might be bugged my friend. I ran maps all day yesterday "just alched" and the best I got was 1 Chaos and maybe a crappy Essence and some low tier currency from each one.

I have no idea how the hell this game works currency farming wise. I thank you all for trying to explain it but I am either just too fucking stupid or doing something wrong.

Edit: These are my "Alch and go" map results, and this one was 200% better than most.

I don't really recommend alch and go tbh, maybe with some mechanics? Once you're running maps at the level you want to run (t16 usually, lower sometimes for MF or this league mechanic), you should be chiseling your maps (it takes 4 chisels on a white map, do it before you alch), probably rerolling them using this regex generator to black/whitelist mods and using atlas build relevant cost-efficient scarabs if you want to see good returns per map. Doing that and using this atlas tree I linked earlier, I fill my inventory up every map. I'm using rusty ambush, rusty legion, polished expedition and rusty div usually, and pick rarity/quant from most altars while using legion on the map device (2-3 legions per map this way). If you haven't unlocked your 5th map device slot, you get it by running a 4 way by putting in 4 legion emblems and running that. Are you using a good atlas tree build for what you're farming?

I'm also running 57% rarity from gear, no quant, not sure how much that helps tbh. I'll eventually throw on some ventors but saving for good ones atm after just getting a new bow.

I definitely feel you. Yesterday I hit about 100 atlas points and decided to move on from wandering path. I went with AladainAF 's strat (I like essences) and it made a massive difference. Wandering path seems good for unlocking the tree, but holy shit does it gimp your drops. Severely. I ran a few maps with it and realized I need an even more strict loot filter (think I'm using Neversink-3, which is just strict, may need to bump it up to 4 or 5). I need to figure out scarabs and shit (he uses 3 plus a fragment). I'm guessing one is strongboxes and another for harbingers but no idea on the 3rd. Also need to buy some more atlas respec points because redoing the entire tree is expensive.

This is all to say, atlas passives really make it or break it. If your tree sucks, your drops are going to blow ass. I did end up doing the chaos recipe a ton more than everyone recommends (I think they say do 20?). I just kept a tab with 2-3 of every rare piece and sold them as I went. I'd suggest doing that to raise the money to unfuck the game.

I also did end up spending some time last night going through a lot of the shit I hadn't tried selling yet. I hope there's a better way, but I basically just opened up the PoE trade website and would input the stats of an item (usually ballparking the stat range of mine to see others pop up). I've got a few jewels and things that are worth 50c up to 1+ divine. And it's all shit as a new player I'd never guess. Luckily I saved most of the rare jewels just cause they take up one slot.

So questions from this post: It sounds like for my maps I want to use a base map, chisel it, throw an alchemy on it (and wipe it if it has bad stats), then vaal it... sometimes? After that, run it with a frag and scarabs (Aladain can let me know which he runs?). What about voidstones? I've only got one, should I always use it?

And then question two is, is there a better way to price my gear? Looking up each on individually is a massive time investment and real hassle.

And also, when I look on the PoE website, and do normal trades and not bulk, when it was someone has a stack of an item (say 64/20) and it's listed at 1c, does that just mean it's a 1:1 trade and they have 64? And do you typically buy their whole stack, or can you whisper them that you want 10? I ask because on the bulk, things like orb of unmasking are only listed for a divine.

Most cheap items are listed by people who only opportunistically respond. As in, they have to be in their HO when you message them. So, to "combat" that, buyers will mass message sellers to save on time. If more than one responds, they just turn down the extra invites.

Trade is easily the worst part of this game. Raxx recently did a review of PoE. And while I think he was relatively fair, I think he was far too forgiving of trade. I'm not actually sure he touched on the clunkiness of trade.
