    [BSC] 145 T14 Blighted Maps

    Posted: 17 Oct 2019 01:24 PM PDT

    Spreadsheet if you don't want to read the text

     

    Preface

    I did the 100 blighted maps for endgame grinds about 2 weeks ago. This was pre-patch of blighted maps dropping within the tier of map you are in, so maps were more expensive. T14s were 80c and costed the same as T13s so I bought about 60 T14s, which was how many I needed for my challenge, to see if I could profit. I profited ALOT. I wanted to do more and record down the drops, but I had to do lab to finish my 40/40 so I didn't get to it right away.

    In comes the patch and map prices plummet. I waited about half a week for the prices to plateau and started buying them. Here you can see the maps. I bought 29 of each T14 and yes theres T15s in here as well, which I haven't started on yet. I wanted a whole tab full and decided I might as well get an even number of each. 144 doesn't divide into 5 so 145 or 29 each was what I settled on. Did you know that some maps don't have blighted versions? I didn't until I started buying them. There's no blighted Core and Colosseum.

     

    Character

    My character, MinorsAreTheSolution, is a budget icicle miner. 6L lioneye's vision and a +3 cold gems multi-modded staff are really the only items of note. The Talisman implicit doesn't do anything, but I never bothered replacing it. The zealotry in the gloves doesn't do anything either.

     

    Cost

    T14 Blighted Map: 60c each * 145 = 8700 Chaos

    Chisels, Alchs, Chaos for reroll: 713.34 Chaos

    Teal Oils: 1.5c each * 145 * 3 = 652.5 Chaos

     

    Total: 10065.83 Chaos ~ 49.34 Exalts (204c:1)

     

    Note: I was rerolling for higher quant on maps, not entirely sure if this is necessary. I also rerolled no regen. Note 2: You most definitely do not need to buy oils if you are only using teals. You sustain if you trade up the lower ones.

     

    Revenue

    I'm not going to list every little thing that is worth something. I'm only going to list the stuff that I would actually sell. I don't bother selling essences, anything in the frag tab, fossils, div cards, random currency, and maps.

     

    Raw ex drops: 7 * 204 = 1428 Chaos

    Chaos: 1987c (1509 from sales, see spreadsheet)

    Stacked Decks: 859 * 5 = 4295 Chaos

    Golden Oils: 19.28 * 165 = 3181.63 Chaos

    Ex from sales: 24 * 204 = 4896 Chaos

     

    Total: 15787.63 Chaos ~ 77.39 Exalts

     

    Note: Ex from sales means selling really big items that drop, eg 21/23 vaal skele that sold for 8ex.

     

    Profit

    28.05 Exalts

    4.05 Exalts if no big drops

     

    Note: If you sell the other random stuff, there will be much more profit, but I don't bother, I'm a hoarder.

    Note 2: I haven't traded in a single div card, and I have at least a few ex in completed sets.

     

    Drops

    Before running the map

    After running the maps

     

    8 6Links (6 body, 2 weapon) I believe this is extremely lucky. When I did my endgame grind AND all my mapping blights, I got zero.

    711 teal if trade up lower ones, 319 raw teals

    24 opal oils, 17 silver, 8 gold

    13 twice enchanted

    9 beachheads which I didn't sell

    Any incubator that dropped, I used it. Got a geomancer and time-lost, one each.

     

    Excluding bestiary, perandus, and breach, which have their own chests, I got 25 gilded scarabs. Out of those, I got ZERO sulphite and ambush.

     

    Didn't really get many div cards of note. Got 1 nurse and 1 abandoned wealth. A few that are worth 30c~. 859 stacked decks tho! Almost 6 a map. The most I got out of a map was 25~.

     

    Blight Uniques

    Map # - Unique

    38 - Sporeguard

    71 - Stampede

    83 - Cowl (cold)

    108 - Cowl (cold)

     

    Note: Blight uniques don't drop in the loot explosion. It drops right on the pump.

     

    Sales

    I pick up and ID almost everything. So I sold a lot of small rares, random % gems, and others. This does make up a lot of the chaos from sales. See spreadsheet for full breakdown

     

    Biggest sales were the gems.

    21/23 vaal skele = 8ex

    21/23 zombie = 6ex

    21/23 volatile dead = 3ex

    21/23 flame golem = 2ex

    21/23 ice nova = 2ex

    21/23 tectonic slam = 1.5ex

     

    I do have a few nice rares but who knows when they will sell.

     

    Overall, the "best" chest in terms of profit might be the gem chests, followed by div chest, currency, harby, and scarab. You would have to get REALLY lucky on the other chests to get any returns.

     

    Time Investment

    Buying

    It took me about 4-5 hours buying T14s. And only because I wanted to spend 60c or less AND I wanted an even number on each. Probably could have finished in 2 hours if I didn't care which map I was buying and raised the budget to 65 each. The hardest map for me to buy was Lava Lake. Finished buying 29 of the other ones really quickly.

     

    I also spent some time buying oils cause I didn't have enough to oil all 145 maps. And I didn't want to pay 2c each so did this while buying maps. Really don't need to buy teal oils, very easily sustain.

     

    Running

    I ran every map solo. So when it came to looting, it took a whiiiiiile, also cause I pick up almost everything. I would need on average 3.5 portal per map. Each map would take me about 10-12 mins. It will be faster if you do these with a friend who can loot with you, or pick up less stuff.

     

    Sorting/Selling

    Didn't really spend too much time sorting/pricing/selling stuff. Sorting and pricing happened at the same time, and it took about 2-2.5 hours total. I did this every morning, I would sort out last nights stuff. Selling would happen in between maps, so the time to sell is included in my 10-12 min per map.

     

    Overall, took about 30 hours for all 145 maps. (not including the time it takes me to write this)

     

    Map Layouts

    While doing the 5 different maps, I realized I enjoy some maps way more than others.

    Quick ranking in descending order: Terrace, Summit, Primordial Blocks, Defiled Cathedral, Lava Lake

     

    Before I get into more details, here's some terms I'm going to be using.

    Annoying portal: portal that spawns near the pump, triggers Cassia's voice line, but still follows its lane

    Bad portal: portal that spawns near the pump, instantly attacks pump

     

    Terrace

    Very easily defended. Only two wings for spawn and the center is pretty open. Emperor's Luck!!

    A couple annoying portals, no bad portals

     

    Summit

    Honestly this map is so forgettable. I have things to say about the other 4 but not so much for this. I didn't overly enjoy this map or hate it.

    One annoying portal, no bad portals

     

    Primordial Blocks

    This is the 2nd last set of maps I ran. I changed up my tower set up to play around. This map is "big" but have these bridges that connect each "island". So I started using petrify tower around the pump near these bridges and it was amazing. Three petrify towers and a million fireball towers would easily hold off anything on their own. Downside about this map is that it has too many little walls and pillars. They block way too many projectiles. Also some times you get like 4 bosses stacked on a bridge and it can get kind of sketchy.

    A couple annoying portals, one bad portal

     

    Defiled Cathedral

    This was the first set of maps that I ran. It's a weird mix of Terrace and Primordial Blocks. Could use petrify towers here as well but I didn't try it when I did it. A lot of walls and stuff to block projectiles.

    Four annoying portals, one bad portal

     

    Lava Lake

    The Wrath card drops here. This doesn't make up for the fact that I hated running this map. There's some little huts that block projectiles but ain't too bad. What made this map horrible was the portal spawns. I don't know if I got really unlucky, but this map had the worst portal spawns.

    5+ annoying portals, 3 bad portals. In one map, I had an annoying and bad portal spawn.

     

    Final Notes

    Kitava Herald boss most deadly and undead rhoas suck

     

    I had 1 map crash on me, 1 map where the hideout instance crashed, and 1 map where I actually failed (I got extremely unlucky) I bought back 2 maps to make up for the crash and fail using some currency I left in another tab just in case of dumb stuff like this. This hidden tab isn't included in any of the calculations.

     

    Overall this was "fun"? I was mainly watching shows on the side. I averaged almost 1ex an hour which, in my books, is pretty good.

     

    Let me know if there's anything I missed or you want me to talk about. Leave questions as well if you have any.

    I will be back after I'm done the 145 T15s.

    GGG please consider consolidating drops. Fills up almost 2 full screens -_-

    GGG/POE.trade any chance of having white sockets act as wildcards when searching by sockets on your trade site?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2019 03:19 PM PDT

    Simply put - if i include 3B1R as a socket requirement when searching, then 2B2White should still be an item that is returned by the search.
    Being able to search by white sockets should still be an option, of course, but a white socket in an item should be considered if RGB was part of the search parameter

    [PSA] take poe.ninja prices with a grain of salt.

    Posted: 17 Oct 2019 12:41 PM PDT

    To the people that are new and dont know, price fixing is when you post an item at a low price and dont really sell it, so websites like poe.ninja uses this price for their calculations, lowering the price. But thats not the real market price. Also they "snipe" items from sellers that fall for it, so they can resell them later at the real price.

    Right now, a single price fixer got gilded harbinger scarabs to 0.6C in poe.ninja by SPAMMING them at 1 chisel.

    I ignored the guy in the official trade, and the wall of infinite gilded harbi scarabs at 1 chisel disappeared.

    The price is quickly recovering, but be aware of manipulators.

    Build is CI Bane/ED Occultist: https://poe.ninja/challengessf/builds/char/xomberry/xomberry_bane

    Mostly farmed Elder Alleyways for exp and exalts. Died 3 times between 97 and 100: fire mobs from blight at 97, lab traps in trial at 98.99, and very quick offscreen 2-shot by Maraketh archers at 99.07. The last one felt so unfair that I stopped doing legion after that :c

    Got lucky with Chayula on 99th breach and found my first Aul ever at 351.

    Couldn't find a bestiary boss for a long time, this was the last RNG challenge for me.
