    General Tips

    Vendor Recipes

    • Iron Ring + Red Gem = Ruby Ring
    • Iron Ring + Green Gem = Topaz Ring
    • Iron Ring + Blue Gem = Sapphire Ring
    • Rustic Sash + Whetstone = Phys % Weapon (Magic to Rare, higher rarity = higher dmg)
    • Chain belt + Whestone + Wand/Sceptre = Spell Damage % Weapon (Magic to Unique, higher rarity = higher dmg)
    • Res Ring + Magic Wand/Sceptre + Alt = Flat Dmg Wand (Ring rarity: Normal = t8 (lv 8), Magic = t7 (lv 14), Rare = t6 (lv 20))
    • Star of Wraeclast (decent amulet!) - lv 20 corrupted regular Lightning Warp (vaal it before levelling), Unique Ruby Ring, Onyx Amulet
    • Ruby/Sapphire/Topaz Flask of Reflexes = Jade Flask
    • Ruby/Sapphire/Topaz Flask of Iron Skin = Granite Flask

    https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Vendor_recipe_system

    Resistances

    • Recognize you can't craft resists.
    • Keep Bismuth Flasks on your filter.
    • Use Purity of Elements early on until you can gather some gear.
    • Necromancer, Inquisitor, Chieftain and Juggernaut have easy access to resistances early on compared to other classes.
    • Try to target Armour nodes every ten levels or so and look for "Resistant" nodes which tend to have more Elemental Resist nodes.
    • Use Essences or Fossils liberally to patch up missing resists.

    6-links

    • Farm low-level Item and Armour nodes for a Tabula.
    • Just keep pushing and get lucky.
    • Geomancer's Incubator.
    • Exceptional Armour chest.
    • Collect 6-socket items to vendor for jewellers into fusings. Don't forget to up quality with perfect fossils.
    • Collect 60 unique Rings, make a Loreweave, cry, then find more fusings.
    • Get extremely lucky in a Chayula breach, get a Skin of the Loyal, find it has completely wrong colours, and cry more.
    • Get a Shadowstitch from Hidden Heirlooms - yeah, right.
    • Vaal every armour you find above ilvl 50.
    • Roll for fully-linked Armourer's Strongboxes then vaal.
    • Be like Raiz and settle for a 5 link.

    Completely Unobtainable Mechanics

    • Bandit Rewards (rip Alira's Resists)
    • Crafting Bench (levelling crafts, multimod, trigger craft, resistances, veiled mods, socket and links, fixing corrupted item links)
    • Pantheon (Burning Ground, Stun Avoid, Poison Resist, Avoid Chain projectiles)
    • Quest Jewels (+1 Pierce jewel, Act 5 Threshold Jewels, Conqueror's Efficiency, Conqueror's Potency)
    • Prophecies (most Prophecies don't proc in delve anyway, so no extra packs or Fated uniques, but stuff like Fated Connections or Jeweller's Touch too, because Navali doesn't exist)
    • Divination Cards (no Tabula, no Obliteration, etc, etc..)
    • Einhar's Beastcrafting
      • Aspect items can be found from Animalistic Items Nodes
      • Bestiary Uniques are rarely found in Hidden heirloom Chests
    • Alva's Temple
      • Temple mod rares can drop from Legion and Incubators.
      • No way to get Coward's Legacy, though.
    • Blighted Maps and Oils.
      • Map-level Talismans come anointed though - probably BIS if you can find a decent one.
    • Catalysts
    • Breach Blessings MIGHT drop from Legion and Incubators, but you are going to be in for a bad time.
    • Access to Domain of Timeless Conflict (Legion Uniques including Jewels can still drop but don't count on it)
    • Beachhead and Harbinger Uniques
    • Conqueror Influence bases
    • Most boss uniques including Shaper, Elder, Cortex & Synthesis, Delirium, Blight 4-piece set, Prophecy chain and 4-piece set, Atziri & Uber Atziri, Uber Elder
    • Woke Gems
    • Cluster Jewels
    • Thread of Hope
    • Anything Heist related except for a few base Uniques
      • Fuck Replica Nebulis in particular
    • Spectres, including: Charge Monkeys, Necromancer variants, Sentinels, Solar Guards, Heist Spectres, Betrayal Spectres, Conqueror Spectres.
      • Good Delve spectre picks: They of Tul (rarely from Breach nodes), Lightning Risen Vaal Advocate (Vaal Outposts), Turongs (early on), Stoneskin Flayers (Primeval Ruins)
      • For DD/VD, pick Stoneskin Flayers or Lithomancers (both Primeval Ruins)
    • Labyrinth Enchants and Uniques
      • Enchanted Incubators might get you lucky, though. Don't hide enchanted boot bases.

    What to Hide on Filter?

    • Maps
    • Div Cards
    • Chisels, Sextants
    • Fragments and Splinters
    • Prophecies and Silver Coins
    • Mirror of Kalandra
    • Offering to the Goddess
    • Cartographer, Fragmented, Otherworldly, Skittering Incubators
    • Scarabs
    • Unique Leather Belts
    • "Can Have Additional Crafted Mods" Delve items
    • Veiled Items

    Delve Starter Uniques review

    https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2998539

    • Rust of Winter (Axe): underwhelming. Might be usable on phys Bladeblast to chill enemies with Brutality.
    • Ashes of the Sun (Mace): 500% Ignite duration is neat, but without Replica Emberwake and other faster Ignite sources, not a meaningful stat. 30% Ignite Chance okay for Fireball levelling.
    • Blood of Summer (Sword): BIS for most casters. +1 Frenzy, 33% frenzy charge on kill, 20% aoe, and a chunk of move speed. Mule a second one if you want.
    • Fragment of Eternity (Dagger): Very good CoC weapon. Fast speed, 12% Base crit, 45% Crit Multi, and 15% Power Charge on Kill. Decent starter weapon for Miners or Totem builds.
    • Scar of Fate (Claw): nice for summoners. Lv 20 Hatred lets you bypass needing Dex early and provides a nice chunk of damage.
    • Splinters of the Moon (Wand): rather underwhelming. 28% spell damage, 12% cast speed, and some mana regen. Can dual wield these until you can fossil craft two +1 wands.
    • Relic of the Cycle (Bow): Fairly good starter bow. Projectiles return okay for coverage.
    • Slivers of Providence (Quiver): Decent. 10 All res. 25% of Weapon Phys as random Element is neat and can help to freeze enemies early on.
    • Thunder of the Dawn (2H Sword): Interesting. Low damage, but 40% Lightning Res and 50% Phys taken as Lightning could be okay for defense. Berek's Respite shock prolif is neat but not enough to do anything meaningful.
    • Vestige of Divinity (Staff): Okay starter for slams, but underwhelming.
    • Remnant of Empires (Shield): Very strong. 30% spell block, 28% block, Res per endurance charge and End Charge generation on block. If not going full damage, likely will be kept for a while. Extremely good with Block necro or glass.

    Starting setup tl;dr: if caster, double Sword; if miner or totem, claw + dagger (Icicle, GC) or double dagger, can go shield as well or sword if using charged mines; if minions, claw + shield

    You can make several mules to get more copies of the weapon to vaal for good implicits:

    • Dagger: 50-60% spell damage, power charge on crit, frenzy on kill, 25-30 global crit multi
    • Sword: Fortify on Melee hit, Onslaught on Kill, 15-20% aoe
    • Wand: 8-10% Elemental penetration, power charge on crit, 15-20% aoe
    • Bow: Frenzy on kill, attack speed, local crit (Elemental Hit)
    • Shield: +1 socketed gems, 4-5% block or spell block
    • Quiver: Point Blank, 8-12% of Phys gained as Fire/Cold/Lightning

    Saw this in RuneScape, what do you think of having a poll question when you log into the game. A daily or weekly poll where ggg directly asks active players stuff about the game

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 08:51 AM PST

    Asking what they think about content, what they like, what they hate, what should be prioritized

    Ofc this would be ggg data and also they decide to go forward with it or not

    I think it would be nice to see, community would feel implicated without having threads filled with toxicity

    What would greatly enhance your game experience?

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 03:16 AM PST

    For me, the biggest gripe with the game stems from terrible loot mechanics. What I mean is, that almost every drop of currency is split into singular instances, where you have to pick everything one-by-one, while your screen keeps moving ever so slightly. My proposed fix is increasing the minimum pickup radius, so I don't have to run 1 step every time I want to pick up loot from one pile, and picking up every instance of the same item in that radius. This simple solution would fix many frustrations centered around looting, like unreachable drops.

    Giveaway of complete build with maps!

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 03:47 AM PST

    Im looking for a person who has no time to make a decent build, but would like to enjoy a bit about this league in SC. Complete build with maps included is looking for a new owner! You only need to levelup a Duelist and enjoy a Sirus ready character, what has ~15M DPS against it with high survivability.

    Its a Replica of my build, with higher possible damage and bit lower HP, and less good Watcher's Eye.

    https://pastebin.com/nQsvCMtu

    If you are that person, you need to write something, why would you like to take the gear, why you are the best person to choose. Its up to you, from now on 3 days and it goes away, i am gonna choose.

    I just can hope a right person get it...

    Upvotes are welcome, let people see that, tell your friend if he/she is in a situation what keeps him/her away from the game!

    Have a nice day, its Luna charity service!

    Edit: Already seen 2 pretty much winner comment and 3 days is a lot, it doesnt cost me much to buy a few more items, its just time to collect. So there are gonna be 2 builds on giveaway, maybe with a few day delay!

    Dual wield - is savior not that good anymore?

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 09:42 AM PST

    I use a 1h high pdps foil, and savior. A year ago or whenever I last played it was great, is it not that good anymore? I don't see many builds use it now

    The Most Evil Villains (spoilers)

    Did anyone find a good use of Doomsday keystone?

    ED trickster, where have you been all my life?

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 03:13 PM PST

    Long story short, I have over 1k hours in PoE and never beat Shaper or Elder.

    I've never read a guide (which I know I should do). I just find pleasure in making my own buildings, failing, and learning from that experience in my next build. My most succesful character was a spectral throw assassin before herald of agony and carrion crawler.

    So I haven't played PoE in a while, I missed the last two leagues. The other day I wanted to bring back my assassin with the new poison skills and finally beat shaper and elder and that new endgame guy.

    My eyes hovered over to the trickster though and I thought it looked tanky as fuck, so I started messing around and tried to get as much layered defences as I could... acrobatics, Mind over Matter, elusive, you name it. I was thinking of it as mostly a meme build.

    When I finished I had almost no skill points left for damage so I just said fuck it and put the few remaining skills I had in some chaos nodes that were within reach. I logged in to standard so I could just respec a high level character and.. this thing is unstoppable!

    It doesn't have the "oomph" of skills like arc where your whole screen lights up and everything is dead in an instant, but man can this guy take damage! It's the tankiest character I have ever played. I have a tabula and so so gear and I already have like 4k life, and there are so many layered defenses that things just can't kill me. Im even thinking of trying it out in hardcore.

    First time minion build question about minion es regen

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 01:37 PM PST

    Hi, first time doing a minion build, and I'm experimenting with 100% cold damage (triad gloves) stone golems.

    I recently saw the chest fleshcrafter and I thought it'd be very imba to use that so that my minions would always be on full life and then stack renewal cluster passives for double damage on full life.

    The problem is, if there's no way to give them really good es regen their life will inevitable get hit and then they won't be on full life!

    I did some google searching but couldn't find anything.

    It might seem obvious that zealots oath doesn't work cause minions aren't you....but I have to ask....does it work?

    Anyone got any tips? Is there a way to give them high es regen? It's a shame if the innate regen that stone golems have can't be converted to es regen!

    Endless Delve Starter Items - Path of Building

    Hey Everyone,

    I wanted to create a blank Path of Building with the current revealed unique starter items, so nobody else would have to. I didn't yet see this posted anywhere... so here it is. Hopefully it'll be a use to someone!

    https://preview.redd.it/n5w7frnh4o261.png?width=705&format=png&auto=webp&s=0558cd974c3992446156490136daf61621f4db0e

    I have been using this PoB as a base for just planning out some builds with level progression

    Path of Building: https://pastebin.com/33KXG5WE

    Note: I used the community fork for these. Unsure if the original will work.

    Have fun and good luck, Exiles!

    Acquisiton alternative?

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 01:53 AM PST

    I like Acquisition very much to look for something in my (horribly managed) 70+ stash tabs. But the dev doesn't update it anymore. The last update was in 2018. Now some functions don't work, new mods can't be searched, is there any good alternative app for this job? I tried Looty, but it's browser based and clumsy. Procurement gives me a lot of errors.

    Heist lore

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 08:58 AM PST

    As someone who skipped Heist almost entirely I'm very curious of the lore, I'd be really grateful if someone could pitch in and tell wtf is happening.

    Who kidnapped and killed the cat? I've seen picture of two blonde dudes who probably did this, who are they and why did they do it?

    Who is THE BOSS?

    The fuck is going on?

    GGG, Where's the folder view in the stash sidebar?

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 06:25 PM PST

    We were shown functionality that you could show your folder contents in the sidebar (seemingly with collapsing folds). Currently we can only see the folder there. IIRC, Bex said this had some issues and would be patched in later.

    This isn't going to be forgotten for another couple years is it? It's pretty important for the functionality of folders IMO.
