    Commentary for fresh SSF 3:41 A10 Kitava on Toxic Rain

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 08:36 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    It's Kammell and I recently did an A10 Kitava run in a fresh SSF with a time of 3:41:41. This included doing normal and cruel lab as well as all skill points except Yugul, Vilenta and the A9 Scorpion. It was similar to the runs I ask a VOD of for to enter my monthly race.

    I made sure to farm on this character in Blood Aqueduct so I'd be level 61 by the end of the run, so it wasn't an unrealistic push to Kitava and much more like an actual run would be. I did die once in this run (I was reading chat and died to adds on the final A9 boss) but it was a completely avoidable death.

    I'd heard in the past from many people that they'd like tips on "off-meta" leveling, specifically skills outside of Storm Brand or Arc.

    I think with a bit of practice I can get this time lower and I may be trying to put together a guide/tips for leveling a few other builds/archetypes if I get the time.

    If there's anything I didn't go over in my commentary here or any questions you have, feel free to ask me here or on Twitch.

    The video is commentated on at 1.5x speed as these videos can become arduous at base speed. Also, I haven't done much commentary before and am fairly bad at streaming so I tried my best:

    Shoutout to Path of Building

    Posted: 26 Feb 2019 09:12 PM PST

    I just want to appreciate the guy keeping PoB updated with all this new content. It must have been difficult enough doing that before he was working full time for GGG. I kind of hope they allocate him time every month to do it, because honestly, without PoB the game would be much less playable. It's a huge asset.

    So massive respect, and sincere thanks.

    How Path of Exile has affected my life.

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 03:24 AM PST

    Wall of text Warning, TL;DR at the bottom

    Hi everyone. I first probably tried to give this game a shot when it was a bit rough around the edges, sometime in 2013, at the time I was just getting into college and couldn't ever really get into it. It seemed like it had promise, but D3 was much more polished and "easier to understand".

    Flash forward a few years. A few things happened in my life that caused college to become inaccessable to me any longer. Not wanting to move sideways with my life I decided upon military service. This went well for a few years until I blew out my knee and spent the better part of last year miserable with nothing to do. I fell into a pretty deep bout of depression and couldn't really find passion for anything. My hobby of computer gaming just didn't seem to interest me any longer. I didn't want to see friends, or focus on getting myself back into school to complete my degree.

    Enter PoE, right around the beginning of delve league I decided to spin it up again because I had a few friends that were raving about GGG and how amazing they've turned the game into. After bricking the first 2 characters I played I finally made the decision to look up some resources and guided builds that would hopefully help me understand some part of the beautiful depth this game has to offer. I ended up leveling a vaal reave duelist (rip stat sticks), and a zombiemancer. And had thd time of my life! I was learning so much and actually having fun again! I met a few members of the community that I now call my friends.

    More importantly it gave me something to look forward to. I recently injured my back during a field exercise, and just had surgery on it 2 days ago. This time it's looking like it's going to most likely end my military career. Even as I lay here in a hospital bed, instead of feeling sorry for myself, all I can think about is what I want to do for Synthesis (patch notes please). It's been years since I felt like I truly had something to look forward to. Something that gives me some form of escape.

    Since I found that passion i've been eating healthier, taking better care of myself, seeing friends, and finzalizing and executing my plans for life after the military. I even got over a huge anxiety of mine and started streaming too! I'm not going to self promote but the 2 to 5 viewers I get from time to time give me such a rush of vindication it's almost indescribable.

    A huge thanks to GGG, Bex, Christ Wilson, and the rest of the team for staying with and developing such an amazing game. The sense of community I found brought me back from a pretty dark place, and I couldn't thank them or this community as a whole enough.

    TL;DR: I love this game. It brought me back from a dark place, and giving me something to look forward to has positively impacted every part of my life.

    My 2nd grader did fan mail to her favourite YouTuber, I noticed a curious detail in it

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 11:30 AM PST

    Sunstone portals look like bread that was baked too closely to each other in the oven instead of awesome portals. Please give them more spacing and change this, its really stupid for a supporter pack.

    Beastcrafting mechanics and some tips

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 09:30 AM PST

    Most of the information is already known, or self explanatory. Just a quick catch up for newcomers and returning players. Do test them yourself as usual.

     

    • [Recipe] Split an Item Into Two - with Half the Mods on Each Item (Fenumal Plagued Arachnid)

      The item must be rare with 2 or more mods.

      Does not work on Shaped or Elder bases.

      Does not work on items with Lab Enchant.

      The item will downgrade to magic (blue) if the conditions are met.

      Socket links, white sockets from Vorici bench, 28% quality from Hillock bench, 30% quality from Perfect Fossil can be copied.

      Implicits can be copied, except with "Item is overvalued by vendors" mod from Gilded Fossil, vendor value of splitted item will be different from the original item (as opposed to Fractured Fossil?)

      Explicits will be randomly distributed on each item in equal amounts (2/4/6 mods rare)

      Or splitted item (the one on ground) will have one extra mod (3/5 mods rare) [discovered by /u/Epsi_d2]

     

    • [Recipe] Create an Imprint of a Magic Item (Craicic Chimeral)

      Eternal Orb but can only be used on magic items.

      Works on Shaped or Elder bases.

     

    • Imprint & Split combo

      If you haven't read the Alt Art Alpha Howl thread from Bestiary league, read it first.

      This method was still available in Betrayal. Incursion temple exclusive mods, Delve drop exclusive mods, Fossil crafting mods can be duplicated as long as desired mods are 1 prefix and 1 suffix, or either one.

      Not sure if it's worth doing but master craft mods can also be duplicated.

      In Standard, this also works on rare items with Eternal Orb.

     

    • To make a magic item with 2 desired mods, from a rare item (e.g. Fossil)

      Since annulling doesn't change the rarity, I believe split recipe on 3 mods rare is the only way. The chance is 1 in 3 as /u/Epsi_d2 explained in the thread. edit: split on 4 mods rare is also 1 in 3.

      Prefixes/Suffixes cannot be changed + scour is an option for 1 mod magic item.

     

    • [Recipe] Add a Prefix, Remove a Random Suffix (Farric Wolf Alpha)

    • [Recipe] Add a Suffix, Remove a Random Prefix (Farric Lynx Alpha)

      The item must be rare, have an open slot to add, have an affix to remove.

      Doesn't change rarity, similar to Annul.

      Any master crafted mod can be used for the removal, adds an affix for free (if you are lucky to hit the crafted mod, or just want to fill prefixes/suffixes)

      This recipe respects meta craft mods, "Cannot be changed" protection can prevent the removal and the recipe still adds an affix.

      Works on jewels.

     

    • Meta craft base from 1 mod

      1. Get a magic item with drop-only/legacy prefix (can use split recipe to "extract" it)

      2. Imprint

      3. Regal

      4. +Prefix -Suffix recipe until 3 prefixes. If it has no suffix to remove, craft something with bench.

      5. Revert to magic if bad mods, repeat until good 3 prefixes.

      Costs x1 Craicic Chimeral, x1-2 Farric Wolf Alpha, x6-9 Yellow beast, x1 Regal per attempt. And time for the ritual.

      6. Prefixes cannot be changed

      7. +Suffix -Prefix recipe (This just adds a suffix because prefixes cannot be removed)

      8. +Suffix -Prefix recipe again

      9. Scour if bad mods, repeat from 6.

      Costs x2 Exalted, x2 Farric Lynx Alpha, x6 Yellow beast per attempt

     

    • [Recipe] Reroll Mod Values - Both Implicit and Explicit Mods of a Rare Item (Farric Frost Hellion Alpha)

      Divine Orb + Blessed Orb except cannot be used on unique items.

      Frost Hellion is cheaper than Divine Orb but buying beasts in bulk might be difficult due to the lack of function on trade sites.

      Works on jewels.

     

    P.S. Please someone duplicate ilvl 81+ Astral Plate with "+1 to maximum number of Spectres" prefix on it, in the next league. Chest piece with this mod can only be obtained by drop from rare delve node "contains minion or aura items" and it could have saved some summoners (Bound Fossil is for Boots only crafting). I saw it twice on the trade site and one of them was ilvl 83 but someone bought it before me and I guess they just bricked it by annulling.

     

    • Random tips/tricks

    • De-corrupting Empower/Enlighten/Enhance

      There is a vendor recipe that retrieves gems consumed by the Hungry Loop. Hungry Loop can consume corrupted support gems. Corrupted Lv2 20% Empower etc are being sold cheap because they are considered bricked normally, but once consumed by the ring and returned from vendor the gems are fresh Uncorrupted Lv3 so you can corrupt them again for the chance of getting Lv4. You still need to farm exp from gem Lv2 to Lv3.

    • Farming Alva

      When Alva is present in a map, the loading time is noticeably longer because of the extra 3 instances. This can be useful in campaign areas, such as Act 9 Quarry which is known for Alva farming back in Incursion league. I assume Jun spawns will be the same in Synthesis where they will spawn 3 branches at once, and research spawning locations are like this.

    • Re-unveiling with Aisling bench

      Aisling in Research "Add a Veiled Mod to a Rare item" bench gives the same veiled options on the same item. The mod must be rolled naturally on that item in the first place (You can't really tell if it's crafted or unveiled on trade sites). This doesn't work for Syndicate specific veiled mods (It must be in the generic "Veiled" prefix or "of the Veil" suffix category).

      Should be easier way to get the rare veiled unlocks "+1 to maximum number of Summoned Totems" and "You can apply an additional Curse" in early league.

    edit: some words. added tags on caption.

    Pay to win helmet?

    Can we talk about how frustrating the RNG for lab enchants really is?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 12:47 PM PST

    I'm about to start my 43rd uber lab run with twice enchanted prophecy and so far only two of my runs didn't have the twice blessed darkshrine so I'm getting three chances at enchanting per run. I'm trying to get the attack and cast speed enchant for my boots. The time and money I have invested into this is so absurd. I get it for helmets. But I don't get it for boots. I'm so frustrated. I wouldn't feel this way if I was going for a helmet enchantment but for boots I'm very frustrated at how bad RNG has been for me.

    Surely I'm not the only one who thinks something needs to be done about the brutal RNG for lab enchants?

    Random Portal MTX

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 07:14 AM PST

    I'm a pretty avid portal collector but some of my portals don't get used much because I never switch to them. Is it in the cards maybe to get an option or mtx that uses a random portal mtx that you own whenever you open a new map or cast portal in story mode? Would anyone else use this?

    How would you feel about Wind-themed spells?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 03:08 AM PST

    When 4.0 rolls around, do you think some Wind-themed spells would be cool? We already have Tornado as a triggered spell, but what if it was a real spell? I think that if we ever get Wind-themed spells, all of them have to deal only physical damage and lots of it, since there is no real physical penetration in the game...
