    QoL ideas - Holding Alt on a gem should show quality effects.

    Posted: 30 Dec 2019 07:41 AM PST

    Watching a buddy of mine stream (ttv/blindsir) and he had a good idea that holding alt on a gem in game should show what quality does to it. Just a nice QoL change.

    5/5 boss arena design

    Wanna do more Metamorphs and are missing some eyes? Don't worry, I've got you covered! Here is a list with maps that have 2 or 3 Bosses. Each one gives a unique organ, so your chances for eyes just doubled and tripled!

    For God's sake, make Proximity shield mod breakable.

    Posted: 30 Dec 2019 05:29 AM PST

    It's impossible to enjoy being ranged or summoner when you have to melee an immortal guy who has an unbreakable shield which contains 50 packs of monsters who decided that his shield was the comfiest place in Wraeclast

    [Guide] Boss mechanics explained - The 4 Elder Slayers

    Posted: 30 Dec 2019 10:24 AM PST

    Hey Reddit,
    I made 4 detailed videos (youtube) about the boss mechanics of the Elder Slayers.
    Each Video is about 3 min long and took about 3 hours each to make :o

    The information comes from poedb and should be correct afaik.

    I hope you enjoy them and maybe take something useful from them.

    Why don't killing T14-16 map bosses provide a cumulatively stacking chance to encounter a conqueror in an influenced region?

    Posted: 30 Dec 2019 12:36 AM PST

    This design makes 10x more sense than the current design (running 10 seconds worth of a white map)

    Even if people are figuring out the fastest 2 maps in each region and alternate running to their bosses, this still takes more time than spamming white maps and it ruins your red map sustain.

    [Guide/PSA] Farming endless ilvl86 items with ivory watchstones

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 03:26 PM PST

    You may have noticed that certain people are selling tons of ilvl86 shaper and elder items and atlas bases, way, way more than it's possible to farm naturally (for example, there's this guy with 130 ilvl86 shaper items listed: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Metamorph/OgM7rjgIE). Here's how they are doing it.

    The strategy revolves around stacking the three ivory watchstones which give +1 to area level: https://imgur.com/a/sa2OlC5

    If you socket them into the same region and run a T16, it will be upgraded to an 86 zone, which means everything in that map, even from white mobs, will drop at ilvl.86 or above. If you then run a shaper or elder scarab, you now have a pretty good chance of dropping ilvl.86 shaper or elder gear.

    If you look at the prices for high level bases, an 86 shaper vaal regalia is 1.5 ex, 86 elder astral plate is 8+ ex, 86 elder bone helms are 4+ ex, etc., and if you run super juiced up maps (more on that below), you will drop them like candy. Even just normal ilvl.86 fingerless gloves/bone helms/two-toned boots will sell for ~20c each, and you average 2-3 of them per map. Random elder helms will sell for 40+c as well.

    At current prices for the watchstones, misinformation costs 1 ex, terror and stalwart defenders cost 45c each, and war for the stars (which is the best 4th watchstone to use) costs 25c. That's a total of 1.8 ex startup cost which gives you 11 charges to use (if you try this, make sure to buy the ones with full charges). That comes out to around 24c cost per map, which can be recouped even if you just find a single ilvl.86 two-toned boots and nothing else. The watchstones are way underpriced for their power and it's basically like printing currency.

    But that's not all, you can actually resell the watchstones once they have 1 or 2 charges remaining, because they can be used to cheat the awakening levels. If you socket them into your atlas, they will give awakening levels just like normal watchstones without having to farm the conquerors. So people who are making new atlas for target farming will buy them to instantly boost themselves from AL 0 to AL 7. If you list your depleted watchstones for 10-20c, they will usually sell, reducing your costs even further.

    So, how to juice up maps? First use the three +1 level watchstones, then use War Among the Stars as your 4th. It adds additional shaper and elder packs, which will drop their respective influenced items, and includes the elder Null Portals which if you played pre-3.9 you know that they drop way more loot than normal. Since they work like normal watchstones, you can still sextant them as well so roll for as many additional packs as you can to get something like this: https://imgur.com/a/LeeXVPK. Then chisel and vaal your maps for 100+ quant, throw in the gilded elder scarab, along with a harbinger, perandus, and breach/legion if you have the 5th slot unlocked. For masters put on Alva missions for even more loot. It's also great exp as you will get lv.86 Alva temples if you do this. Finally throw on Beyond Zana mod, or Domination if your build can't handle beyonders.

    If you want to go even more crazy, pop a monstrous treasure and run double beyond. If you have awakener level 8, you get 24% increased effect of map modifiers, and minisformation watchstone adds another 20-30%, which is a huge boost to your quant. If you did everything right, you can easily get 180-200+% quant maps with harbingers, breaches, perandus, alva, prophecies, 40 additional packs, and double beyond, and ALL of that will drop ilvl 86 shaper/elder items. It doesn't really matter what map you farm but I like underground river as it drops two different two-toned boots or overgrown shrine for opal rings and fingerless silk gloves. As long as it's a T16 that is not in Haewark Hamlet, Lex Ejoris, or New Vastir it's fine.

    Good luck farming.

    In solidarity,

    An Exile

    What other game makes you evaluate if it's worth the time to crash the game for currency?
