    A new strategy for looting the majority of each contract/grand heist

    Posted: 26 Sep 2020 04:46 AM PDT

    Hi there guys! I've been toying around with the new parameters of the Heist system and I wanted to share what I discovered. Turns out, there are stats you can roll on NPC gear that allows you to extend the duration of the lockdown timer. That's the timer that pops up if you fill the meter, but haven't finished your heist and yoinked your target artifact yet. During that time, you can still loot chests, open doors, do everything you wanna do to maximize loot.

    If you stack these attributes and get good rolls, it is perfectly possible to scale the timer on regular contracts to somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 seconds to a full minute, and more if you're using Isla at a high level. This is plenty of time, I've found, to loot the remaining 1/3-1/2 of a contract after ticking my alert meter to full, and I've been playing on a build that isn't particularly quick. I imagine with full min-maxing as some sort of pathfinder with super movespeed scaling, fully looting every heist you run would be child's play.

    The stats you're looking for are %increased lockdown timer (which rolls on every piece of rogue equipment, up to 20% at ilvl 83) and + to number of seconds on lockdown timer (which is much rarer, much more powerful, and will only roll on the middle item in each rogue's inventory) - this mod can go up to 10 additional seconds at ilvl 83, and is a massive boost to how long you have to yoink stuff, since it scales off of the % increases you are stacking otherwise. These bonuses are also additive on grand heists, so if you take Isla on a mission and kit her and her friends out with stalling gear, you will reach a lockdown timer that can push past two full minutes.

    Rolling optimal gear for this is a bit of a chore, as the +10 additional seconds is quite rare, and needs a high level base. However, it is a potent investment that has made Heisting far more profitable for me.

    Thanks for reading! Hope this helps you make some currency off of Heist again.

    Friendly reminder for new players to use Path of Building Community (fork) instead of original Path of Building.

    Posted: 25 Sep 2020 10:19 PM PDT

    It's this time of year again when people look for builds and i get dozens of the same comments every day like "you pob does not work and gives me errors". Just stop using original pob as it's largely outdated, and use pob fork, which is de-facto the basic version that every poe content creator uses nowadays. https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding

    Easy. These minibosses spawn randomly through contract room, they spawn quite common too.

    14. Complete Encounters III

    • Leif, the Swift-Handed - Tier5 Castle Ruins Map, it will use smoke mine that'll blind you every 5 seconds, so this challenge should be easy.

    • The High Templar - Tier3 Villa Map, one of the totem that raised by the boss will deal cold degen damage on player instead of lightning, so try stay far away from it's totem or destroy them before killing the boss.

    • Oak the Mighty - Tier3 Mesa Map, the boss will use some warcry skill that'll taunt player, so just try always stay near the boss to gain that taunt effect then only kill the boss.

    Normal. These challenges makes the boss a bit tricky to do, can be done in low tier map so should be no problem.

    15. Complete Grand Heists

    • Reveal a Room or Wing on a Heist Blueprint

      You can reveal a blueprint by talking with WHAKANO in Rogue Harbor, or with GIANNA/NILES with discounted reveal cost. You'll gain more reveal chance for GIANNA/NILES by doing contract with them, or you're gain WHAKANO reveal chance instead when doing with other NPC beside GIANNA/NILES.

      BUG: Some player character won't gain any chance for GIANNA/NILES whenever you doing contract with them.

      High level blueprint will have multiple wings to be able to reveal. There's 2 options when revealing wing, you can choose REVEAL ENTIRE WING if that wing have a lot of rewards that you wanted which save a lot of cost compare to reveal each room per wing, if not you can choose REVEAL WING only.

    • Complete a Grand Heist while at least six Rogues are recruited

      Pretty straightforward challenge, just have 3 different in both wings. You also can have same rogues per wings to stack their effects even higher.

    Normal. A little challenge for the end game content of heist mechanic.

    16. Complete Twinned Maps

    Not all maps can have "twinned" modifier, for example Kitava or Innocence boss.

    Normal. Surprisingly they change from require specific map to have twinned challenge, to more broad choices and with lesser amount! Nonetheless some map boss are more tricky to do when two of them in a small room, you can try roll a magic rarity of the map with "Twin" mod so make the fight easier. If still can't, just ask someone else to help kill when u got them.

    17. Obtain Heist Rewards

    Easy. Each rogue tie with specific reward when doing heist with them, here's the cheat sheet regarding their reward.

    18. Heist Enchantment Modification

    23. Achieve Ascension

    PoELAB is a good resource to check whether today is a short/safe layout to be run or not. Also try install LabCompass for more convenient, is a MUST tools for labyrinth camper! Here's are the locations for each trial to obtain before able to enter certain difficulty labyrinth:

    • Normal Difficulty: Act1 The Lower Prison, Act2 The Crypt Level 1, Act2 The Chamber of Sins Level 2, Act3 The Crematorium, Act3 The Catacombs, Act3 The Imperial Gardens

    Easy. Labyrinth will get easier when you practice more, if your build can't do it, just pay someone to bring you to do it ;)

    24. Complete Eight-Mod Maps

    Normal. This is harder than unidentified rare map, to have 8 mods on red maps(T11+), you need to use Vaal Orb to corrupt a map into 8 mods. And again, just ask ppl help you deal with the dangerous map that u crafted, or make a rotation party to farm 8 mods red tier maps will be a bit easier.

    Click HERE for 8 modifiers red map search via PoE Official Trading Website

    25. Level Heist Jobs

    Watch Grimro video about rogue tier list

    Normal. Just keep doing heist you'll level them up to max level eventually, also there's some heist equipment able to give more exp to the rogue. Quest Item contract are also important as they able to increase their cap of their skill level, so try do them as soon you got them, they are randomly drop too.

    26. Reach Level 90

    Normal. This .... require a decent build to do this, require within a month to reach this level. If bad build that die a lot then .... maybe then need around a month+

    27. Alternate Quality Experiments

    New content, will update later ...

    28. Complete Heist Encounters IV

    Normal. Pretty straight forward, the numbers is achievable for casual players.

    29. Acquire Replica Unique Items

    New content, will update later ...

    30. Complete Unique Maps

    Normal. Do 15 out of 19, with the help of The Encroaching Darkness divination card, this challenge will be slightly easier to complete as you keep grinding end game maps collecting this cards. Even your RNG is sux collecting these card, you could buy some of the unique map at here, most of the unique map are quite cheap.

    The least 4 favorite unique map I would skip is ... Hall Of Grandmaster(hard), Perandus Manor(very expensive), The Putrid Cloister(expensive), and Doryani's Machinarium(expensive) depending whose the 4th expensive map is =D

    31. Explore the Atlas

    • 140 Bonus Objectives

      Obtain from completing maps with required rarity.

    • 140 Awakening Bonus Objectives

      Obtain from completing maps with required awaken power(amount of watchstone placed in atlas)

    Normal. This challenge just guiding us how much those bonuses will impact our atlas drop rate drastically.

    32. Complete Heist Quests

    Normal. Most of them are randomly drop, and these quest are required to raise their cap level for each rogue ... a bit RNG to collect them but at least they won't spawn same contract again after you done them. And also .... more LOREs ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    33. Complete Unique Contracts

    New content, will update later ...

    34. Defeat The Twins

    New content, will update later ...

    35. Complete Encounters V (40/40)

    • The Hallowed Husk - Tier15 Palace Map, this challenge require to stand outside the it's Proximity Shield bubble at least 3 times before kills him, highly suggest you bring a flask that remove bleeding effect(of staunching) so that you'll immune to that blood rain phase, OR portal out as soon it start raining blood, go in and out portal for after 3 times blood rains then only kill him.

    • the Trio of Bosses - Tier16 Vaal Temple Map, K'aj A'alai is the female boss that shoot out rain of arrows with deadly bleed degen damage. High recommended to have high DPS build then time correctly to kill all of them and leave the female boss at last to make the fight short, it's rain of arrows when enrage will keep on shooting at same spot, is better kill off the boss really fast before it's rain of arrow cover the whole room making the fight impossible to do.

    • Aulen Greychain - Tier14 Fungal Hollow Map, pretty odd change ... require you to have immortal call skill as well, and also good timing. Try lower the boss life at cull range, then wait for the boss to trigger immortal call, then use your immortal call(suggest endurance build character will increase duration support) then only kill it.

    • Chayula, Who Dreamt - Tier13 Chayula's Domain, this challenge is very tricky to do because of it's small arena there's not much space to run or dodge. You still can use portal in and out trick whenever it uses cyclone skill, let it do cyclone 3 times then only kill it.

    Hard. Most of these challenge are really hard to pull off especially in high tier content, if you can't do it then try ask/hired a friend to help this challenge when you able to spawn these bosses.

    36. Heist Map Grind (40/40)

    Hard. 75,000% Item Quantity completion really feels a lot easier than previous league map grind challenge, because untill now my map progress still in tier 2(1st week) and i've already gain 1k item quantity already just by doing couple of magic rarity contract, pretty good! I say is achievable you planning to grind the heist content for a month or more.

    37. Defeat Heist Bosses Conditionally

    New content, will update later ...

    38. Defeat The Twins Conditionally

    New content, will update later ...

    39. Complete Deadly Encounters (40/40)

    • The Shaper - Can access this boss domain by combining 4 guardian map fragment, required a good-bossing-build to do this fight.

    • [Farrul, First of the Plains]() - This boss can be spawn from blood altar in menagerie(Einhar Encampment) that require recipe of Farric Tiger Alpha that only appears in Tier 13+ maps. This TIGER boss deal a lot of phys damage, so bring phys reduction flask, bleed immunity flask and dodge the stampede.

    • Aul, the Crystal King - Randomly spawn in minimum delve 150 above(Primeval Ruins biome).

    • High Templar Venarius in The Cortex - Can access this boss from Cortex, The Relic Chambers map

    • Uber Elder - Can access this boss domain by combining 2 shaper map fragment(Shape & Knowledge) and 2 elder map fragment(Emptiness & Terror), required a good-bossing-build to do this fight.

    • Mastermind at an area level of 83 - This is the last boss of syndicate hierarchy, you can access the mastermind safehouse after fill the information bar to full from killing captains of each safehouse divisions. It's full fight is all about running around the arena avoid the middle laser beam and the burning arena from 4 edges. Getting a level 84 mastermind shouldn't be a problem as long you keep negotiating syndicate in high tier map, it will also replace ur old progression if u done some negotiation in the past low tier maps.

    Hard. This is way better than previous deadly encounter challenge, compare to last time no option to now we can choose is a BUFF! Really hope there's more challenge like these in the future where we go to choose which content to do instead of doing all! 6 out of 4, for me I would skip Cortex because that map is pretty expensive, then Aul because is pretty RNG to find it, but if I manage to found it ... then I'll skip Uber Elder because the cost of it's map is also quite expensive.

    40 Complete Endgame Grinds (40/40)

    • Level 100

      This is gonna be hardest of the rest challenges. If your build not very end game or dying often ... highly recommended to skip this.

    • Open 500 Chests at the end of the Endgame Labyrinth

      Owh no they change back from farming 100 Argus into this, which is the same since delve league ... and is BAD :( This challenge require us to farm roughly around 100 labyrinth run(bad RNG scenario, 5 keys per run), but we can lessen the total number if you can find more than 5 keys(good RNG) per run. The maximum number of keys u can get per run is 9, 3 from Izaro himself if he gets fully upgrade per phase(non of his adds turn down), 1 for Argus, 2 from Curious Lockboxes behind gauntlet or puzzle, 1 from darkshrine(chance)that's hidden behind wall, then the last 2 from treasure chest(chance) which is at the end of the labyrinth after defeating Izaro.

    • Complete 40 Syndicate Safehouses

      40 numbers is pretty easy achievable. Just keep doing syndicate daily quest from zana map device the gain enough intelligence for the safehouse to be able to get access. Here's a cheat sheet regarding safehouse rewards.

    • Complete 40 Breach Domains

      Another 40 numbers, easy peasy! You can access a breach domains from opening breachstones in map device, and a breachstone can be created by combining 100 Splinters of either breach type .... OR you could just buy the cheapest breachstones then run them.

    • Defeat 50 Factions in the Domain of Timeless Conflict

      From 200 since legion league to 50, that's A BUFF! When collect a total of 100 timeless splinter will become a Timeless Emblem map fragment, which can be use to unlock the 5th slot of map device, if running 4 type of emblem at once.

    • Complete 750 Heists or Grand Heists at an area level of 68 or higher

      Pretty big number ... is a pretty easy content but the big number is really overwhelming, in fact is the biggest number compare to all past leagues, that's NUTS GGG! :/ ... If you're really like the heist content they you can try to this challenge instead.

    Hard. First of all ... I'm so SURPRISE there's no more atlas boss kill challenge in the list! O_o which make the rest of the challenge pretty easy! Well beside the big numbers of course ... Doing 4 out of 6, without a doubt I would skip that Level 100, that's ridiculous grind ... then next option to skip is might be 750 heist ... I'm sorry GGG that number is too big for me, i can imagine i can do 500 chest labyrinth faster than the 750 heist. Is really depending on player preference though, if you're really hate labyrinth content then ... you got no choice but to do 750 heist brainlessly =P


    I will still be active updating this page from time to time whenever I got new INTEL untill the league ends ;) Hopefully you guys understand my poor english and also helped new comer to try get 40/40 challenges =D

    PSA If you leave Grand Heist via alternative route you will lose your instance.

    If you leave Grand Heist via alternative route that you spend markers to reveal, you will lose access to all other wings, that you spend tons of markers to reveal. Game gives you no warning about this. Great design, GGG! Scam league indeed.

    GGG please institute player surveys via email or in game so that you can build feedback questions around relevant criteria and get much better feedback than you will ever get via Reddit

    Posted: 25 Sep 2020 04:47 PM PDT

    I mostly lurk here but, as someone working in data science, I really do not understand how this has not been implemented as it is really common in every other big online PC game. Player surveys are a fucking god send for customer analytics. You can cater the survey to any criteria. Want to hear from someone based on game time? Want to hear from someone with almost any criteria based on the game you can think of? You can do all that with player surveys but you will pretty much never be able to realistically do that with accuracy on Reddit.

    I do believe Reddit offers valuable information but you should never make decisions solely based on upvoted posts on Reddit or frequently posted subjects. You will likely be getting less than 10% of the whole picture you should be wanting to make decisions. You could pay anyone 40k a year that has a slight amount of analytics experience to design surveys that get you better feedback than you get on Reddit.

    Don't take my word for it. For the love of god hire a consultant that will help you improve your product. It is actually absurd how much potential PoE has as a product with how unique its end game and content additions are. Now imagine if you found a way to hold onto players for a month instead of losing 1/3rd within a week of league launch. PoE is a complete anomaly in the gaming industry and there is so much you can do to improve the product with player surveys.

    Edit: I just want to reply to a few common comments this post has been getting.

    The first is along the lines of "you are naive if you think GGG makes changes based on feedback from Reddit." They have explicitly stated they listen to feedback on Reddit and it does impact the changes they make. How much or how little is up for debate but when probably around 90% of their feedback is from Reddit and changes are made to the league design immediately, you can be all but certain Reddit has the most influence.

    The second is "but only this type of person fills out surveys" or "no one is going to fill them out." Incentivizing honest surveys is extremely easy. Give people a mystery box for filling out a survey and another one if their survey seems honest (usually surveys have comments you can add and, while these are sometimes only scanned with software for common words, they are often read in their entirety). "But they would lose money!" it is fairly basic economics that, when dealing with purchases that can be useful or desirable to be purchased multiple times, giving away a free one (especially in the case of virtual cosmetics) is a net positive in that it builds a sort of good will to people who would not be spending the money either way and people that would spend money on them will still do so.

    What does this modifier does? Heist enemies doesn’t drop markers ����‍♂️

    MetaMorph proved we can enjoy a league without clicking 1000 times a map

    Posted: 26 Sep 2020 01:27 AM PDT

    Can we please auto-pick up the markers?

    I get it, you like loot to drop on the ground, but you realize we are human's right? not one of the bots.. Picking up 30 tokens 300 times so i can run ONE grand heist to have it bug out on me... Is about as shitty as it gets.

    It's not the playerbase's fault that GGG screwed up the "fix"

    Posted: 25 Sep 2020 12:43 PM PDT

    If customers complain that the new iPhone's speakers are too quiet and then Apple "fixes" it by making them blaringly loud and low quality, that wasn't the fault of the people who complained that they were bad.

    Looting all the chests while killing nothing was clearly not intended nor was it fun for a large portion of the playerbase. "Fixing" that by making the rewards pitiful is not the fault of the people who complained the mechanic was poorly designed. I'm absolutely tired of the people who defend GGG's poor decisions by saying they shouldn't listen to the playerbase.

    I have never complained about a league

    Posted: 25 Sep 2020 11:15 PM PDT

    On reddit, twitch, global chat, discord to my friends. I just play the league and always enjoy whatever new content the game brings I have loved poe for years, poured thousands of hours into it, hundreds per league, ignore MANY life responsibilities the first few weeks of a new league.

    But what in the fuck is Heist. I am in the minority of people who weren't very excited for it when I saw the trailer, but I was willing to give it the same attention I do every league start. I'm also in the minority of people who don't care about bugs, the enormity or video game design and server stability is so beyond me I feel like an idiot screaming to the void to "fix the servers!"

    The content itself is just awful. Sure the voice lines and lore are neat, and even the animations of things the characters are doing in the heists are a cool change of pace, but heist as a league mechanic is just CLUNKY.

    I'm staring at my minimap more than the zone itself trying to navigate my way to the Curio display at the end, randomly clicking on chests to collect chromatics and blessed orbs. The "reward" rooms have become an absolute meme of blight oils, catalysts, and jewelry that I don't even bother identifying. (I'm running level 83 contracts) if I don't position my character perfectly, Huck has a seizure trying to shield himself from the blast. The mobs themselves don't drop anything useful, I feel like I'm waiting for doors to open or traps to be disarmed more than I'm killing things, you can't sustain maps because maps only have a CHANCE of being a reward in engineering contracts, AND WHY DO HEISTS GIVE SHIT EXP. this is literally the worst part of all of it.

    Contracts are tedious and the amount you have to run in order to have the coins for a grand heist, where the end reward ends up being 5 replica uniques or alternate quality gems that are worth 1c a piece is just laughable. Or my favorite, 5 different options of selecting 20 chance orbs.

    I find myself trying to CONVINCE myself to play poe rather than being super excited to neglect work and chores like a normal league start.

    I'm on GGGs side 99 times out of 100, but this is the earliest I think I'll quit a league since I started playing
