    [PSA] You're probably doing wrong item searches and missing huge parts of market.

    Let's say you're looking for a +2 lightning wand/dagger. What most of you are going to do is probably something like this:

    This search is BAD. It misses 1/4 of items on market.

    What you're supposed to search for is this:

    https://preview.redd.it/ta5vv8r48o951.png?width=737&format=png&auto=webp&s=c736bcc1d3f44c2467943e6519a3381081059f83

    I'm making this post because from my experience fractures sell infinitely slower despite being best in their price slots on whole market.

    Neat lore fact #10: Why the masters are in Wraeclast

    Posted: 08 Jul 2020 05:23 AM PDT

    Alva

    Part of a secret society of treasure hunters in Oriath's upper class. Found the manual of Vaal blood thaumaturgy and hid it from the Templar, not wanting it to fall into the wrong hands. No longer welcome amongst the nobility because they knew she was hiding something valuable, she continued treasure hunting alone and selling finds to pirates, thieves, tyrants and nutters. She has Vaal ancestry, so she is the only master that can open incursions.

    She wants your help to get rich.

    "My lust for excitement brought me to the Reliquarians - a secret society of treasure hunters, funded by those cold and greedy societal uppercrusts. I had my father pull some strings and before I knew it, I was amongst it all, raiding temples and tombs across the land. But, well... you're an exile, you know how the Templars are. Untrustworthy is one way to describe them. When I came across a manual of Vaal blood thaumaturgy, I knew I couldn't let it fall into their hands. And it never did.

    Though that damned High Templar knew I was keeping something secret... And so, no longer welcome amongst the nobility, here I am. Luckily there's a fortune to be made here and a few of my old clients still remain loyal to me when it comes to spending what they have inside their purses."

    Einhar

    An Ezomyte that sailed to Wraeclast alone to worship and learn the secrets of the Ezomyte gods known as the First Ones, who bestow gifts in exchange for animal sacrifices and teach how to fight and survive. He believes the world will end soon and the First Ones will return to take those that prove themselves to be 'survivors' to the Great Grove.

    He wants your help to prepare for the end of the world.

    "That look in your eye... I recognise it. A survivor, just like Einhar.

    That is my name, exile. Einhar. In my native tongue it means 'lone fighter'. That is what Einhar was for many years.

    But it is dangerous now to fight alone. Too dangerous, even for the mighty Einhar. We are in the final days of this world, exile. Of that, I am sure. We survivors must unite, prepare for the end, and delay its arrival as long as we can.

    For that we will need supplies. Weapons. Shelter. Food. This is where you come in."

    Jun

    Orphaned Maraketh taken in by a secret society called Order of the Djinn. They guard the Forbidden Vault, hiding artifacts whose power is so great that to use them would put the world in jeopardy. Janus Perandus, another member of the Order, sold them out. Everyone but Jun and Janus were killed and artifacts of great power were stolen including the Horns of Kulemak, which can grant immortality.

    She wants your help to fracture the Immortal Syndicate, find justice for her akhara (family) and stop Catarina from taking over the world.

    "You have not heard of us because you were never meant to hear of us. I say us... in truth, it is just me left. We came from all walks of life, but we were all orphans, taken in and raised by the Order, and taught never to speak of it under punishment of death. It sounds harsh, I understand, but such was the importance of our duty that a life of solitude and secrecy was necessary.

    For hundreds, maybe thousands of years, we remained secret, until Janus Perandus... that... that imbecile... He sold us out. Reaching for the last vestiges of his ancestral glory. Just like his great grandfather Chitus, he may have doomed us all.

    Catarina has obtained the Horns of Kulemak, an artifact capable of shifting the very energies of life freely. She sought power, not just magical, but political power. To be able to grant immortality is a powerful bargaining tool indeed.

    Wraeclast is fractured. Many little societies separated by vast tracts of land. But it will not always be so, and Catarina knows this. She is playing the long game. She sees herself as an immortal Queen just biding her time.

    Her subordinates dare not cross her, for she has the power to gift them immortality, but also to take it away.

    There is a reason my Order hid the Horns for so long, and we are seeing it play out before our very eyes."

    Niko

    No one else could handle Voltaxic Sulphite in Oriath. Made a lot of money selling the stuff to the Templar. Heard voices in his head caused by Sulphite exposure, thought he was a prophet and the Templar locked him up in an asylum. He dug out with his bare hands and escaped through Oriath Square, but soldiers tracked the trail of blood to find him and exiled him. He has been working on the Voltaxic Generator and Crawler for years.

    He wants your help to explore the mines under the Eternal Empires ruins.

    "Made myself very rich selling Voltaxic Sulphite to the Templar. Didn't know what they were doing with it, but it wasn't hard to guess. Was a couple years ago that I started hearing... them. The voices. Talking to me. Telling me things about the people around me. Things I shouldn't know. Secrets. Wonderful, violent secrets.

    Went to the Templar and told 'em what I knew. What I was getting told. Who was telling it. Templar didn't bloody believe me. Locked me up in a... in a prison! But my little messenger told me how to escape. Told me to dig. Dig, dig, dig. Dug my way to freedom. Templar didn't like that, no no. Sent an army after me. Tossed me on a slaver's ship and sent me to Wraeclast to rot. But I'm not rotting, am I, exile? I'm healthier than I've ever been, heheheh.

    Looks like shite, eh? Well, don't judge a mine by its entrance. Eternals used to pull all sorts of goodies out of these rocks, and they never had my secret weapon.

    Just inside the mineshaft is my creaky little Crawler. Took one of the ol' Eternal torture devices and... repurposed it. Oh, it can still tear your skin off like peeling a fruit, but hopefully it won't try to. Instead, it can lay down a daisy chain of lights powered by that Voltaxic Sulphite. You'll want to be on the lookout for more of that, mind you.

    This big beauty next to me? My pride and joy. Feeds Crawler with refined and purified sulphite. And it's capable of taking all sorts of the raw materials strewn below ground and turning 'em into sources of light and explosives.

    How 'bout you head underground and follow the mechanical little bugger to an azurite vein, eh?"

    Zana

    Left Wraeclast on her own terms because of impending exile by the Templar for being too inquisitive. She returned to Oriath, discovered the map device and started exploring the Atlas as a way to grow closer to her estranged father (Shaper).

    She assembled a team of exiles, to explore the Atlas and ensure the Elder never reached our world. They defeated Shaper and sealed Elder but were exposed to the madness. It taps into your greatest desires, offering you a glimpse of what might be, and that temptation drove the Conquerors mad. Over and over again, they would enter the Atlas, wiping clean entire worlds. It wasn't about saving Oriath, or discovery, it was just... killing.

    Unable to stop the Conquerors and fearing the worst if they returned to Oriath, Zana sealed herself and the Conquerors in the atlas and waited for death to find them.

    She wants your help to kill the Conquerors because you unsealed the Atlas, gave them a way back to our world and jeopardised all of humanity (oops).

    "My mother died not long after I was born, and my father, too, was gone only a handful of years later. Orphaned, my family's assets were seized and I was handed off to a series of well-off foster homes as an indentured servant.

    But children are curious creatures, and even by those standards I was extremely curious indeed. I grew up reading everything I could get my hands on, and questioning everything they tried to teach me. I was too smart for my own good, I suppose, because eventually, I started drawing the attention of the Templar.

    Luckily for me, Dominus was much less subtle than the previous High Templars, so I managed to leave Oriath on my own terms, mostly, before my impending exile.

    I first started exploring the Atlas as a way to grow closer to my estranged father. I had no idea just how close I would get to him, though there was not much left of his mind by then...

    Looking back, I think I was overly optimistic about what the Atlas could mean for... well, for everyone. Imagine limitless worlds, limitless resources, limitless open space in which to live.

    But now I understand that it all comes at an insurmountable price. To dwell there is to leave yourself vulnerable to unspeakable madness. It's inescapable and insidious. It taps into your greatest desires, offering you a glimpse of what might be, and that temptation... it's all I could do to stop myself from falling into the same patterns as my friends...

    The work we're doing is important, but it's also risky. Please, if you start to feel your sanity slip away, you need to tell me."

    Delve DOES NOT scale infinitely.

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 04:40 PM PDT

    Delve DOES NOT scale infinitely.

    So Blink and i were doing our daily push and suddenly Chris Wilson redirected our cart back to depth 1. I guess our journey ends at a depth of 65533 below this is a youtube video of what exactly happened.

    Depth 1 architect?

    Video to Blinks Point of View

    Reasoning to why the cap of delve is at 65533 (Provided by /u/seanconnery69696)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_overflow

    Basically, they didn't make the delve depth field have enough width to handle more than 16 bits (which at the time they created it, must have seemed like a ludicrous number to begin with). So when it tried to increase the depth level, it looped back from 1111111111111101 to 0000000000000001. Haha good job finding this though, hilarious stuff to watch.

    A post where Chris Wilson mentions that there is no limit to delve anymore.

    I just love this league way too much

    Posted: 08 Jul 2020 01:01 PM PDT

    Ever since delve i've not had so much fun while playing PoE, its amazing to open up my stash and have 3 realistic yet no completely handed out projects that i can aim to finish or get closer to finish every day. Its amazing that within a small group of 3 people, we can help each other on finishing some dumb item idea or try to make an attempt of creating those mirror tier items(and still fail miserably, but with atleast a CHANCE of getting it without spending thousands and thousands of currency that we cannot possibly ever come close to achieve with the time that we have to play).

    I sincerely don't give a flying fuck about Oshabi or this 15 fps multicolor place that she resides im, but for the love of god don't make us go back to spamming 2k alterations to get a trashtier tailwinds boots with 20%ms and crafted life. Throwing what can for some people be an entire day or even more time in the form of one ex to get a single mod in a pool with other 400 mods its not fun, neither it feels good when it happens, its just a relief.

    I know its still early to a post like that but hearing people that can play this game 16 hours a day every single day of the week that this is a shit league its triggering the shit out of me.

    much love and thanks GGG for the league ♡

    Free 6-Link Delve Recipe

    Posted: 08 Jul 2020 10:10 AM PDT

    Edit: guys and girls, im out, 3 1/2 hours of playing party queue simulator sure is demanding. Sorry if i missed anyone, but i had to keep track of up to 10 people queueing up while others grabbed the recipe. And please dont send friend or party invites the next time, just whisper and wait for your invite.
    Aaaaand my game just crashed, looks like its gone for good. Easily 100+ exiles are a recipe richer. Stay sane and hydrated everyone.

    I don't know why the storage units need to glow and flash and vibrate, all the boss fights are pretty unplayable.

    I misread my harvest league craft and turned 3 house of mirrors into crap instead of gambling for more. F

    I posted this last night and it was deleted when I woke up. I gambled up to 3 from 1 and the lesson to be learned here is sell for profit don't be greedy. Also don't do big moves at 4 am with no sleep lol.

    Am I the only one who almost never gets delirium on actual juiced maps, but always on random alch n go low tiers?

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 10:52 PM PDT

    Could be cognitive bias but I swear to god every time I juice a map to full only to get no mirror then the half empty 20 quant map right after will have the mirror.

    [PSA]Helpful advice for everyone if you are using Harvest to alch maps

    Posted: 08 Jul 2020 01:13 AM PDT

    Use the Atack/Caster reforge as this gives the monster attack/cast/ms speed modifier on the map which is whopping 19% quant, 11 rarity and 7% packsize, which is the highest map mods can get.
    Meanwhile avoid using defence/life/speed reforge as this can give "cannot regen" which is one of the more annoying map mods to deal with for most builds.
