    GGG, when you change Map Series, please allow players to set the previous map tab as remove only and start a new one.

    To change my map tab to the new series I have to either move or delete 5610 maps.

    I'm pretty sure a lot of people have this problem.

    We asked for specific slots for them in the currency tab and got the answer: they are not core so they wont get a slot. But they were in every single league we had since they were added. Call me old fashioned but that makes them core in my eyes.

    So I finally got a t3 corruption and used it on this, think it turned out rather well.

    Irony alert : GGG say currency trading shouldn't be automated, yet 90% of currency trades are done by the most obvious bots.

    Posted: 29 Jan 2019 01:29 AM PST

    I mean dont get me wrong, Streamers have taught me exalts are at an all time low from the botting sites - maybe thats healthy.

    Honestly though, im convinced currency flipping is their no.1 Source of income.

    It says a lot about the trading system that i dont even want bots to be banned, even if they damage the economy, simply because trading 2 exalts worth of smaller currency with real people is a huge pain.

    ​

    please fix trading.

    How to craft a BiS vaal skill BV staff for 58ex (2k+ depth approved) (budget options included)

    Posted: 28 Jan 2019 05:22 PM PST

    Talking on Tbxie's stream about the following staff, people were wondering how to craft it. Since there's a lot of stuff to talk about and it showcases some cool theorycrafting / planning, I decided to post it on Reddit to make it easier to read.

    Here's the staff : https://imgur.com/a/HHWSUpZ

    It's (nearly) BiS for the build that everyone has been using at the top of the Delve ladder to push to 2k or 3k depth - Blade Vortex Gluttony.

    TL;DR: Use a 4s resonator with Bloodstained + Aetheric + Metallic + Corroded. Average cost: 60.85ex. Maths below.

    EDIT: Yes, the title has an error. I redid the calculations in a more precise way while writing this post and corrected the result. Forgot the title and can't change it now.

    The following relies on information extracted directly from the game, especially concerning mod weights, and collected through the trade websites, specifically the chance to roll a certain number of mods when using a resonator or chaos orb.

    Using a tool /u/Gloorf built for optimizing fossil crafting, we determined that the best combo to get the aetheric prefix (the bloodstained suffix being guaranteed) is aetheric + metallic + corroded. This is due to the combo blocking most prefixes aside from aetheric.

    The base should be an ilvl 70 Eclipse Staff (lowest ilvl you can get).

    The technique is just to roll the fossils until you hit the aetheric prefix, and annul the staff down to aetheric + bloodstained mods before multimodding.

    Now, onto the maths: how long will it take and how much will it cost?

    This fossil combo gives us around 7% chance of hitting the aetheric prefix.

    There's 60% chance of rolling a 4-mod rare, 27% chance for a 5-mod one and 13% chance to roll a 6-mod one. These values were derived from data available on the trade websites, /u/Gloorf's comment down below for the method.

    We have to consider that one mod is necessarily taken by the bloodstained mod "40% reduced Soul Cost of Vaal Skills". I'm also assuming that every mod roll has the same chance of hitting the aetheric prefix, which is not exactly true since suffixes or prefixes can fill up at some point, and you have to roll at least one prefix. So the real odds should be slightly better.

    • 4 mods scenario: the probability of hitting aetheric on the 3 remaining mods is P = 1 - (1 - 0.07)3 = 19.6%. The probability of hitting the right annuls is then 2/4 x 1/3 = 1/6.
    • 5 mods scenario: the probability of hitting aetheric on the 4 remaining mods is P = 1 - (1 - 0.07)4 = 25.2%. The probability of hitting the right annuls is then 3/5 x 2/4 * 1/3 = 1/10.
    • 6 mods scenario: the probability of hitting aetheric on the 5 remaining mods is P = 1 - (1 - 0.07)5 = 30.4%. The odds of hitting the right annuls is then 4/6 x 3/5 x 2/4 x 1/3 = 1/15.

    Final odds every time you use a resonator to roll the aetheric mod and then annul down the staff to the 2 important mods is: 0.6 x 0.196x 1/6 + 0.27 x 0.252 x 1/10 + 0.13 x 0.304 x 1/15 = 2.9%

    That's about 34.48 tries on average.

    Now, time to know how much this all costs! We're assuming a bloodstained fossil is 250c, an annulment orb is 31c, a 4s resonator is 18c and the remaining fossils are 7c total.

    Basically the full resonator + fossils is a total of 275c. For the annul orbs, we have to split again depending on how many mods we roll every time. We're assuming a worst case scenario where the last annul bricks the item every time.

    Avg annuls used = 0.6x2 + 0.27x3 + 0.13x4 = 2.53

    Avg annul cost = 2.53x31 = ~78c

    Total avg cost of each try = 275+78c = 353c = 1.765 ex (Assuming an ex is worth 200c, which is the kinda crazy price atm)

    Total avg cost = 1.765 x 34.48 = 60.85 ex

    Budget options Alright, I realize this is a hefty sum for pretty much anyone. There are two possible ways to make this budget. I did the math on this once again, not including it here.

    1) Use an ilvl 1 staff. Yep it's possible. You lose the Eclipse staff base and its 100% crit chance implicit, but you get a nearly guaranteed aetheric prefix every time you roll. Delve mods and crafted mods don't care about ilvl

    How to actually get an ilvl1 staff: make a new character, get it to Lioneye's Watch and vendor 1 Orb of Scouring and 1 Wisdom Scroll for a Book of Regression which takes you back to level 1. Bring divination cards that give you a non-corrupted unique staff to this character - they don't specify the ilvl, so the resulting item will be the ilvl of the character, which is 1.

    Corrupt the resulting uniques until you get a rare item. Now get 4 more rares of the same base, of any ilvl (buy them on poe.trade for example) and vendor the 5 together to get back a clean, ilvl 1 staff of the same base.

    Note: we used sets of The Incantation to do this, corrupting Whispering Ices until we got a corrupted rare. Note 2: we haven't looked into it, but there's probably a way to make insanely good spellcaster staffs in general with this ilvl1 technique. Feel free to have fun.

    Budget: ~15ex

    2) Craft on a sword. Yep, caster sword meta. We're playing a crit build so the Exquisite Blade! base gives us 60% crit multi which is insanely good.

    The only reason this is not better than a staff is cause the Gluttony delve builds usually take the Serpent Stance staff cluster up in the tree for additional crit chance / multi. Still, it's about 2.5% DPS difference on my PoB, maybe even less with a godlike 4-mod jewel to replace the staff cluster.

    Using the same combo as above, it's nearly 2x easier to craft on a sword (5% chance every time you try to roll the aetheric prefix + annul it perfectly). You still want the spell dmg + non-chaos as chaos crafted mod instead of a +1 to all gems (which you could easily slam by blocking attack mods on a sword).

    Budget: ~35.3ex on average

    With the years chaos damage has become more present in term of sources encountered and the damage they deal while chaos mitigation stayed still. Would be a great time to have some sort of “Purity of chaos”

    Posted: 29 Jan 2019 10:04 AM PST

    Vaal purity of chaos could maybe give "chaos doesn't bypass ES"

    TIFU - POE edition - I wasted 3 sets of alluring abyss because I forgot that I had Elemental weakness on my Gloves

    Posted: 29 Jan 2019 02:49 AM PST

    Here I am, thinking my spanking new Jugg is going to be able to do this Map easy. I mean I got like 90% physical mitigation and a decent overcapp on elemental res.

    First set:

    ​

    Trash waves - melted

    Dual Oversouls - melted one, tanked the enraged second one and melted it as well.

    The triplets - Pffft melted range boss, tanked remainder and then killed them both.

    ​

    The Queen herself:

    Went well in the beginning, killed her in the first phase. started to position myself to not hit the reflect clone... and suddenly oneshot.

    ​

    Immediately jumped back in and got killed by a fireblast and again with similar results.

    ​

    Then outside of clone phase I am getting one shot by the waves and random aoe blasts and before I know it, I've spent all the portals.

    ​

    By now the rage has kicked in, I mean how is this four armed miss koolaid looking thot straight one shotting my Jugg whom a few hours ago was tanking Shaper slams.

    ​

    As time goes by, I'm raging and wasting more portals and before I knew it I was on my third set.

    ​

    This was when my wife walked pass, observing me red faced fuming behind my PC. She asked me and I then explained the situation.

    ​

    She then said "oh doesn't she reflect curses?"

    "Yes, I know she does, I've removed my blasphemy support" I replied, still a little annoyed.

    "Yeah but doesn't your glove cast curse on hit" she smirked.

    ...

    ...

    Well, needless to say I had to hide my embarrassment as I removed my gloves, and quietly and quickly finished the boss fight.

    ​

    tldr: I'm an idiot and forgot that I was wearing elemental weakness gloves that was having that reflected on my Jugg and making him weaker to her attack. because I'm also stubborn as f, I wasted a good 3-4ex worth of portals because I was raging against that boss.

    Anyone else noticed weird interactions with sale tabs?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2019 12:57 PM PST

    I will have an item for 15c for 2-3 days with no bites. I sell it, and immediately afterward get another whisper for the item. Or other times, I will sell one item from a price all tab, and then get whispers for other items in that tab within minutes, even tho there was no interests for days. I have also noticed when I move all my items down a tab, I vendor everything in the lowest tab, (10c for me) and I get 2 or 3 whispers for the items I just sold, after being in the sale tab for a week.

    ​

    I can only assume this as something to do with how the items are displayed on the websites after being moved or something, but have not found any information on it. Anyone else notice stuff like this?
