25% sounds more than usual if anything, but yeah PoE is either reserve almost all your mana and work off mana on hit/mana cost reduction stuff, or have a massive unreserved pool for a few specific builds(archmage shit and what not). Rarely inbetween. Oh and Blood magic stuff although this isn't very common anymore I think?

God I love Chieftan.
With all that block and then 5% life on block I feel like God Mode unless some mechanic bypass it.
Anyone got tips on farming the League Mechanic? I have just been sending ships randomly and hoping for the best.

- mineral bars and ore get you gear, crops get you currency.
- Sending to kalguur gets you ward items, sending to the green flag places gets you tattoos.
- try to give a bit of what they want but other wise give a nice selection of materials, and then crank up the multiplier with disenchant dust

Don't even bother trying to understand crafting, beyond some basic stuff that can help you league start.
I've been playing this game off and on since Harbinger and I have almost zero fucking clue how in-depth crafting works. It's by far the most convoluted system in the genre and an area where Last Epoch absolutely smokes them.

I'm pretty sure the answer is "with a great deal of currency." That's about what I've taken from it.

Yeah I'm at the point again where I'm getting into yellow maps and either I one shot everything or I get one shot.
Upgrades involve some combination of these millions of crafting items I picked up to either make my own or get a map that drops currency to buy upgrades... but how the fuck do you do that?
Everything feels like if you fuck up you are losing some limited use items you won't see again easily.

you'll see tons of maps. they're, for all intents and purposes, infinite.
Each map you run gets you a little currency, sometimes a lot of currency. keep running those maps.

Trying arc totem as a league start for the first time.
Decoy totem + flame wood support does a surprising amount of dps with nothing allocated to it
(This is act 5 btw, it's not endgame)

Came home from work, made the swap from 2hander to claw + shield, and had an easy time with Merciless Lab. (Took me forever to find a half decent starter one that I could also equip due to Int.)
Just starting maps today but probably won't really get to grind until this weekend. Resists are solid but my gear sucks so far.

Gladiator is probably the easiest ascendancy to make tanky early for very little investment now. And it has good damage at low investment with a multitude of skills as well now.
88%+ block and spell block with easy access to all the good +max res nodes on the tree and easy access to good armour/evasion nodes and Iron Reflexes....
If you're riding the struggle bus just switch to a Gladiator build.

And I've been able to sell every random 1 tattoo I've gotten from shipments instantly without having to leave a map.Bros I just bought 1c worth of chromes instantly.
I realized I had 43 orb of unmaking I will never use since we have three atlas trees to work with now, and sold them instantly as well.
It's like a whole new game.

Can confirm. I settled on Glad the day before launch and haven't had any complaints. Even with my character in a bit of a shambles due a combination of poor gear and a self inflicted bad tree it's been one of the smoother trips to red maps I've ever had. I've died like twice during mapping? One was standing in some DD and one was getting freeze locked by a Wildwood dude at a ritual. I've had some close calls but it's solid.

Go dual wield and use Swordstorm + Crushing Fist + Vengeful Cry with the reset node from Glad and Retal Mastery.
Honestly though just having high block and investing into the retal skills is pretty good damage for low investment and it procs a lot (make sure you have the lucky block ascendancy etc)

So Did they up the drop rate on currency? I'm only 64 and got 2 divs and 18c so far. It's crazy.

I got more Chaos than usual during campaign but I think its just RNG. Only found one raw divine up to lvl 93.
