    Me and my abyss on a nice walk

    Posted: 16 Feb 2021 04:59 AM PST

    Since new end-game bosses have their own currencies (the conquerers, Sirus and Maven). I thought that other bosses might also get their own currencies.

    Zana is about 25% chance to spawn harvest. Data from 100 missions.

    Posted: 16 Feb 2021 12:06 PM PST

    I ran 100 Zana missions in Haewark Hamlet, here are the results.

    Methodology:

    • I bought 4 watchstones with the mod "Map options offered by Zana missions in areas have 36-50% increased chance to be synthesis maps". Combined with secrets of the stones, this added to 241.25% increased chance, for 6ex total.
    • The points in Haewark hamlet were the 3 harvest nodes, and the two essence nodes.
    • My uncharted realms were master of the atlas, paths not taken, secrets of the stones, remnants of the past, and Neural pathways in this order. If I had the last point, I'd take close allies.
    • I ran t16 atolls, chiseled, alched, and with some sacrifice fragments. I chose atolls because it's impossible to accidentally miss a harvest, and it has a predictable layout.
    • I semi-sustained the maps, only needing to buy about 30 of them. I had 4 stones in haewark, and 3 in all other regions.
    • I ran through the whole map and killed the boss, only stopping for fast mechanics like metamorph, legion, or essences. I didn't do any rituals, blights, abysses etc.
    • If Zana didn't have any elder, shaper, synthesis, harvest, or otherwise special maps, I skipped it.
    • The Sirus and conqueror drops encountered are not included.

    Zana/Harvest results:

    • The average number of maps offered by Zana was 13.7. I have no proof, but I feel like it increases with map quantity, because once I started adding sacrifice fragments after the ~30th map, the average seemed to increase. The minimum was 8, and the maximum was 18.
    • She offered a total of 30 harvest missions, but I could only enter 26 of them because sometime she offered 2 maps. Overall, Zana had a harvest spawn rate of 26%. I encountered 8 harvests in the atoll map, 8%. In total, I encountered 34 harvests, with a combined total of 117 seed plots (3.4 on average)
    • I found 4 T4 seeds: 2 yellow, 1 blue, 1 purple.
    • My luckiest streak was when I found 4 harvests in 2 consecutive maps, both having a natural and a Zana harvest spawn.
    • My unluckiest streak was 35 maps without a natural spawn, and 10 maps without either natural of Zana spawn.
    • The average sold price of a harvest was 117c. I could have boosted this number up but many of the crafts I got were spent on my own gear.
    • I encountered 20 synthesis maps, but only ran 17 due to offering 2 at once. 8 of the maps were Cortex maps, but I only got 1 worthy drop, a Bottled faith. Overall, I'd say the watchstones were probably worth their 6ex entry fee especially if you're doing over 100 Zana missions.
    • Over 50% of Zana windows included a shaper or elder guardian. If it was an eradicator or chimera, I didn't bother. Screw those guys.

    Currency results:

    • I got 20 ex + 1060c from actually sold crafts. Many of the crafts I got I used straight away, and some haven't sold yet. If I sold absolutely everything, I could probably up this number by 10-20 more exalts.
    • Here was my unsorted tab after the 100 maps, including the crafting sales. This doesn't include over a full tab of red maps. Total Exilence price: 6289c. Without harvest sales, that's 3229c. It doesn't include the full amount of chaos because I converted some of it to exalts.
    • Here's the tab once I sorted everything out, only including stuff that is very easy to sell. I 3-1'd essences, converted jewelers to fuses, etc. Total Exilence price: 6164c, or 3104c without harvest. This is more or less right, because what it over-prices is more than made up by the bulk pricing, and the fact that it doesn't price the elder maps properly.
    • Essences made up 360c of this total. The essence nodes are probably worth it?
    • All in all, I made about 60 ex over 100 maps. If I pushed it more, selling more crafts etc. I could probably get it to 80 ex. With my minimal investment cost of 100 Zana missions, about 30 atolls (180c), and some sacrifice fragments (100c), I made about 0.6ex per map. I don't know how that translates to time, because I spent a lot of it recording data. I ran the maps over 4 days this last weekend.

    Conclusions:

    • Running only Zana is very profitable. Combined with a heavier investment strategy with sextants, scarabs etc, she adds a lot of currency gain.
    • Zana is equivalent to roughly 25% chance to spawn a harvest. By extension, the sextant mod "master missions in areas have a 100% increased chance to be Zana" technically represents nearly 7.5% chance to spawn harvest if you have 4 of them, secrets of the stones, and maxed out chance to gain a master mission (55%).
    • Haewark is unlikely to be bugged.

    Allow Notes in Non-Public Tabs

    Posted: 16 Feb 2021 10:18 AM PST

    As titled, it would be nice to be able to leave notes on items when your tab is not public. Maybe Ctrl + Right click to do it.

    Currently you have to make the tab public, write a note on the item, then disable public to not have them listed.

    It would be a nifty QOL feature for premium tabs. Main use case I had in mind is leaving what harvest craft you want to apply next to an item or if you had a certain base to soak up all the harvest chaos orb spams.

    We need Harvest qol, or inventory qol, or both

    Posted: 16 Feb 2021 12:43 PM PST

    So yeah, not being able to identify unidentified objects within the harvestcrafting window is my biggest pet peeve, as an example the unique crafts like changing 1 unique to another, the majority of my crappy uniques are unidentified and land in my dump, because i alrdy know they are crap it's not very hard to recognize a winterheart when you see the image, so it's always unidentified... Why can't we use wisdoms? Same goes for item upgrades, i have a good base but it's rare and i can't scour it to use the harvest upgrade mods...

    Maps. Putting a mapmod on a map is not a problem but as soon as the map changes completely you can't put it back into the maptab. Same goes for scarabs and any other currency really.

    Some of these problems would not be that annoying if it didn't build up on a whole lot of other problems, for example the fact that we still have the same inventory space that we had in beta, but these days you get map mechanic on top of map mechanic with zana and blight and harvest on top and you end up portaling in and out a bazillion times just to dump the insane amount of loot that accumulates.

    TLDR:

    Let us interact with items fully by using the harvest-craft window and give us a bigger char-inventory in general.

    Someone tried to scam my first big sale ever

    Posted: 15 Feb 2021 11:45 PM PST

    So, I'm a casual player and I've been playing PoE on and off since about 2014 I think. However, due to time constraints I never really put it a lot of time. I always come back to it, play a few weeks of a league and move on. I cannot recall ever having owned an Exalt so far. I always felt rich with 50-60 Chaos being able to buy me some non-crap items. Still, I got a lot of good fun out of the game.

    Mid-January I, once again, came back for Ritual - and the league has been good to me. Got a natural Exalt drop, which bought me a decent 6L +1 Spectres Chest (which is also the first non-Tabula 6L I ever owned). And yesterday, while mapping, a Divination Strongbox gives me The Fiend. Now, I don't know much about true Endgame, but I know people like Headhunter. So I check the price and instantly feel like Elon Musk himself. Of course I put it up for sale. About half an hour later someone wants to buy it (listed it at 7.7 ex). They come around, put in 7 ex + 16 c (in 3 stacks 10 + 3 + 3), hesitate a moment, cancel trade run to their chest. Reopen trade, put in 7 stacks of Chaos, and 1 ex and of course accept instantly. Lucky me, this is by far more money then I have ever seen so i double check what is going on. Also, I watched Zizarian's video about scams a few days ago. So I cancel trade, kick, and ignore them. Don't want to deal with the low life anymore.

    I think, PoE's trade system is what it is. The entry barrier is pretty high (you basically have to watch a third party video guide and buy a Premium Stash MTX to even partake) and it feels a little dated. However, for me the experience has been pretty good so far. Most people just want to get the trade done and I also met a few very friendly and even helpful people. Still, scams seem to come easy. So, especially as a casual gamer, always triple check your trades!
