    Solo-farmed 400 fractured blighted pack sized juiced burial chambers with decent quantity/rarity, and here are some results and some farming strategy with aura stacker (warning: standard)

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 01:41 PM PST

    1. Introduction Hey all, I'm neuroy. For those who do not know, in Harvest league, fractured maps with beyond mod could be obtained along with blight oil effect, resulting maps with base 75 pack size/ 135 item quantity one of the best ways to farm for currency as well as the joy of killing monsters currently in Standard league.

    Being a dumb-dumb and trying anticipate these maps would be nerfed at the very end of last league, I fractured 1500 of the pack size version of burial chambers. Silly me, who had misjudged GGG's nerfing hammer, basically had to farm all these maps by myself.

    As of today I have farmed 400 of these maps, it is insanely profitable and here are the results.

    2. Result

    Currency (in big ball park: ~2600 ex; 2400 ex excluding small drops):

    • 3500 divine orbs
    • 8300 vaal orbs
    • 13000 chaos orbs
    • 8500 orbs of regret
    • 19000 scour orbs
    • 4000 simple sextant; 3000 prime sextant; 2500 awakened sextant
    • 1100 exalted orbs (this is inaccurate because some small drops which were sold in ex were also included in here. I'd estimate the raw drop is around 900-1000)
    • 283 simulacrum

    Small drops (between 100-200 ex):

    • many many corrupted jewels with implicit mod
    • 1 rare es% jewel with rmr corruption
    • 48 Primordial Harmony
    • 6 Void Battery (corrupted all, got 1 penetration)
    • 9 Cospri's Malice (corrupted all, got 1 penetration, 2 extra projectile)
    • 6 Call of the Brotherhood (fail corrupted all)
    • 2 six passive aura jewel (i83)
    • 4 4-5 passive aura jewel (i83)
    • 3 Unnatural Instinct

    Big drops (~210 ex):

    • 6 Skyforth (for nostalgia reason it is included in this section; 5 corrupted, 1 unid)
    • 14 The Doctor card
    • 4 Headhunter (all unid)
    • 0 Mirrors as expected

    Special Mention * 2 Angler's Plat (1; 2)

    3. Profit

    The cost of these maps include fossils (720 ex), scarabs (150 ex), and prophecy (30 ex), making the total 900 ex. With currency drops of 2400 ex alone it will cover more than double, almost triple of the cost.

    4. Map set up

    Watchstones and sextant:

    Some have suggested to me to use unique watchstones, I ran some of them but eventually gave up the idea for several reasons. First is they are quite costly; second it is a pain to buy them in standard, especially a large quantity of them; and lastly they have to be applied new sextants every time. As mentioned above, only 2 six passive aura jewels dropped, those may cover the watchstone and sextant cost, but it cannot cover the time lost. In conclusion I'm just using 4 normal watchstones. I would love some ilvl 87 Angler's Plait though.

    The four sextant mods I use for Nemesis Zana mod:

    • Beyond: self explanatory
    • Nemesis drops 3 additional currencies: also self explanatory
    • Unique monsters drop corrupted items: This one is huge, the amount of corrupted 6l is insane, along with the unique/rare corrupted jewels
    • Alva: I ran out of Alva missions for the last 30 or so maps, so this will be my permanent set up

    If you have Alva missions, then I'd recommend for "corrupted vaal monster have 25% chance to drop corrupted items" to boost more corrupted 6l drops.

    If I'm running triple beyond (Zana beyond mod), I'd switch nemesis sextant to something like legion.

    5. Build

    This is an aura stacking build, and here's my current build PoB for farming Angler's Plait: https://pastebin.com/N2GX4agX

    And here's my set up if I do not care about iir/iiq: https://pastebin.com/dfR1AD5D

    Some comments about my build:

    • It is extremely min-maxed, but still have places for improvement
    • I've seen some drama recently on Reddit of people comparing high-end aura stacking build, my question is why go CI when you can go LL. But that's personal preference of course.
    • Why do I only have 5k es? Well if you had paid attention to one of the screenshot of Angler's drop, you may find I only have 2k es because I was limit testing for several maps to see if I could survive. Transcendence with alt q determination is THAT strong.
    • I intentionally switched helmet, medium cluster jewels, as well as corrupted rare jewels for more damage instead of having es mods. Normally though I can easily have 8k es.
    • Flasks set up (Divination Distillate, Lavianga's Spirit, and Soul Catcher) is the unholy trinity for IIQ/R, I lost so much DPS for not being able to use damaging flasks.
    • Gem link set up (Spark-Echo-Pinpoint; EK-Echo-Physical to lightning) with IIQ, IIR, and Chance to Flee. Pinpoint is super super super super super strong for both builds if you are lacking damage.
    • Why do I use chance to flee and a corrupted pair Slitherpinch? They are for farming Angler's Plait. Shout out to members of Fishcord, especially u/poorFishwife, for being such patient and diligent people to explore different aspects of the game.
    • Each map takes about 12-15min to farm, with 7 min being looting. Use a very strict item filter.

    TL; DR: Farming legacy juiced burial chambers can be insanely profitable, although quite time-consuming. For the 400 maps I have farmed, the currency drop alone covers more than half of the total map cost. Even though there's no mirror drop, thing that is more special than mirror have dropped, twice.

    E1: format E2: simulacrum number may be a bit off since average splinter drop is around 160 per map.

    Why not use a december event to further test Heist's 'lucky' rares?

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 01:00 PM PST

    I generally liked those items but I think having them only available as Heist rewards didn't do them justice. It would be really cool if for example regular map bosses would drop them.

    The game is becoming more and more hostile to Channeling skills

    Posted: 17 Nov 2020 07:23 PM PST

    As PoE becomes more fast paced, channeling skills feel weird and clunky to use, the only Channeling skill that is still popular is Cyclone, for one sole reason: You can move while Channeling. Should other Channeling skills do the same? Maybe only allow you to walk for one third of the speed while channeling Storm Burst or Divine Ire would be enough. By the way, when will we see unarmed spellcasters? I noticed that Doryani's Touch has added flat for unarmed spells, and we have Facebreaker and Hollow Palm builds. Maybe make this an actual thing?

    An update on wrongful bans

    Posted: 17 Nov 2020 11:56 PM PST

    Hello poe-reddit

    I made a post here a while ago, which in the end got removed and probably didn't achieve anything. At the time I felt pretty hopeless, so I figured I'd give an update and let those in the same boat know there is some hope.

    So, I got banned very early in Heist for whatever reason, I imagine a false positive in detection methods said I was cheating. After about a month, the ban got reversed as I really was innocent. Of course some in here was shouting 'guilty! burn him at the stake!'

    Which is fair enough. Though, I guess the point is false positives do happen and when they happen there wasn't really anything I could do other than wait it out. The communication from GGG could be better. Even just a 'please be patient. We're still looking into it' every time I reached out would have been better than the stone wall I experienced for a month. Sitting in the dark with no communication from GGG did make me feel pretty hopeless. I decided to play Heist SSF in the end so that getting so far behind wouldn't completely ruin it for me.

    A few people suggested I do a GDPR data request at the time. I did do it, but the ban got reversed before the month long timer ran out so I revoked my request as it was really a last ditch effort to attempt to prove my own innocence.

    Anyway, maybe someone reads this who's been wrongfully banned feeling like I did. Just hold tight if you really are innocent. If you aren't innocent, well... don't cheat? xD

    I got tired of how short Sirus' theme is so I extended it myself

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 09:20 AM PST

    I see a lot of requests for a Prophecy tab; another suggestion would be to allow us to reroll unwanted Prophecies within Navali.

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 02:48 AM PST

    I'm not suggesting we wouldn't like the prophecies tab, but if you are any bit like me, your current prophecy tab is full of ones you will never run or sell. Perhaps it would be nice if we could both reroll and seal within Kadala to help eliminate the time needed to seal and sell/store/delete the unwanted ones?

    Atlas Region cheat sheet

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 09:55 AM PST

    Just tried to fight sirus for the first time

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 02:11 AM PST

    I have no words to describe how frustrating and demoralising this fight is, the first 3 phases, perfectly fine, but that last phase is the single worst experience I have ever had in PoE. I'm not sure whether it's an audio bug or not, but the 'die' voiceline from him is coming out at the exact same time as the die beam. His randomly teleporting across the arena certainly doesn't help either. For reference, I am playing a dominating blow guardian with max block glancing blows 6.5k life and capped resists, yet the 'die' beam still kills me in one hit. I can't get any of my sentinels up because he keeps teleporting away from me whenever I get even remotely close, so I can't just burst him down. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

    Edit: thanks for all the advice in the comments, I think I'll reattempt the fight tomorrow as I am just a wee bit tilted from the fight and I don't think fighting a boss that requires a lot of focus is the best idea when I'm aggravated.

    Anyone experiencing severe fps drops after last 3.12.5 patch?

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 02:56 AM PST

    After the update, right at the character selection I felt something was wrong. When I'm mapping I'm getting fps drops all the time, not to mention the massive drops when delirium activates or betrayal appears. This wasn't happening until this patch, is anyone else having similar problems?

    Making a tierlist of the T16 Map Bosses - vote now!

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 04:30 AM PST

    Hey there, I was looking at the tierlist of Map Bosses on the wiki and it oftentimes seems weird.

    ​

    So I made this small and fun quiz in which the community itself can take votes on the bosses to see if it is in line with how I see the Bosses: http://allourideas.org/poe-boss-3-12/

    ​

    Try it out, its fun!

    ​

    As of now it is only T16 Map Bosses. I will probably do more if this is being well received.

    ​

    Obvious remarks: Sure it depends on your build. Sure it depends on your playstyle. Sure it depends on a plentora of things. But the more people vote the results should be clear enough.

    Also: If you can't decide or dont even know the Boss? Just pick one. In the end with enough votes one "messed up" vote doesn't matter much.

    edit: Oh and yes, you can vote infinite times. Just stop when you get bored.

    As casual players, I can't believe my buddy and I found this

    Posted: 17 Nov 2020 05:40 PM PST

    https://i.imgur.com/bI1Ubni.png

    So my buddy is running smuggler's den blueprints and says "omg I found a 4%'er" (we're plebs so we're just running flat 2%). I go in and help make sure he doesn't die as he makes it out. I didn't even look at it so I asked him if it rolled any other mods and he's like nah it's crap other than that, then he saw the 4% dupe currency and about shit himself. I looked it up on the trade site - the only one listed is for 4 mirrors. What in the hell should we do with this thing?
