    GUIDE: Crafting GG Exquisite Blade for cyclone at moderate prices

    Posted: 08 Mar 2021 06:41 AM PST

    Extensive research in POB has concluded for me that an elder 7link fortify ex blade is still far stronger than a warlord one (both with top T1s all mods). Putting pulverise in the 7th link slightly beats out the normal 6link warlord while having stronger AOE, while putting concentrated effect or close combat support in the 7th link will outright destroy the warlord blade in DPS. DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE RAW DPS on the weapon! Do try it for yourself if you're not convinced.

    With that result, it tells me one thing. Crafting a GG mirror tier weapon for cycloners becomes especially affordable. Warlord ex blades are notoriously expensive to craft since you need multiple T1s with expensive seeds (especially the warlord attack speed prefix with how expensive R/A influence or speed is) that each have low weighting. A full T1 usually costs several hundred ex even with harvest.

    Elder blades on the other hand is dirt cheap. Fortify is a 1/8chance that doesn't clash with any other mod your weapon and a T1 crit multiplier on suffix is also a ~1/6 chance by benchblocking crit chance. The ONLY big currency sink is getting the flaring mod and that's just 1/63chance when you start off with a merciless mod blade. With the price of aug phys/nonphys etc being so cheap, your full mirror tier blade can be crafted for 100-ish ex.

    That said, here's the full Crafting process.

    Step 1: (Base) Purchase a 6L all whitesocket exquisite blade with merciless and essence attack speed. There's usually groups that produce this within the first week of any league so it is pretty affordable. At this late of a league you can get it for 2ex a pair.

    Step2: (imprints) Buy many beast imprints cause you'll need them for the next two steps (50-70 is good).

    Step3: (imprint and influence) Imprint the blade once and start buying add influence to weapon. Only cost 30-50c each. You want elder influence, so repeat this step until you get it. Average cost around 3ex. MAKE SURE YOU REMAKE AN IMPRINT AFTER YOU GET THE ELDER INFLUENCE!

    Step4: (getting your flaring) This is the common money sink step where you regal the elder blade and then either use Augment physical or non-phys to physical to try to get the flaring mod out (can settle for T2 phys for slight dps loss if mirror tier isn't the goal). With non-phys going for 30-50c a pop and imprints being 40-50c, it's average 1ex for each try but there is 50% chance to remove speed mod, so it's a failed attempt. Augment phys on the other hand has no risk of removing speed mod but is possible only if regaled mod is removable. Combine these two methods and I think its an average of 1.5-2ex per try including prices of imprints. Getting a flaring is a 1/63 while settling for T2 inclusion is just 1/21 chance (hence it can be real cheap to make an OP sword for yourself). Edit: You can also first benchcraft mana leech on your sword to up the chances somemore before aug phys/non phys to phys.

    ***This is the only tedious part of the craft. If you got it off Augment phys, remember to remove the regaled extra mod.

    Step5: (Crafting crit multiplier) At this stage the blade have 2 prefix and 1 suffix. Crafting crit multiplier is next. Do so by benchcrafting any cheap critical chance suffix so you block it, then buy an Augment crit. It's only 1/6 chance hit the T1 crit multiplier so this part shouldn't take too long. If failed, DO NOT use add remove crit as that would be a 1/12 chance. REMOVE the benchcrafted crit chance, then go for harvest remove crit and start again with Augment crit (with benchcrafted crit chance block re added after removing the bad crit mult). This means it only takes 2-3ex a try including the removal for a 1/6 chance to hit the T1 multiplier mod. That's CHEAP.

    Step6: (benchcraft quality) When you have your T1 multiplier, you can then benchcraft the final suffix Crit chance and quality, so only have one open prefix left.

    **someone suggested crafting cannot roll attack mods here before going to add fortify. I think its a great idea. This would make fortify rate from 1/8 to ~1/6.

    Final step: (fortify) Augment influence and add remove influence until hit fortify (3-4ex a pop, 1/8 chance).

    Congrats on the GG blade.

    ***Bonus step for rich dudes would be to temper orb for phys mod has additional effects. That would make it mirror service worthy but adds a lot of cost based on your rng. Otherwise the whole craft is really cheap for what's essentially the strongest non-heist 2HS for cycloners.


    Made this guide cuz I'm just done with the league and wanna add to the cyclone gang info. Hopefully harvest stays around next league so more can benefit off this guide at the time :)

    However, there is a downside. it is that you have to socket your cyclone to the weapon instead of your armour, so it wouldn't suit the mana cost on armour group. HOWEVER, in the chase for dps, the crit chance/additional curse with explode armour is far stronger anyway.

    EDIT: your cyclone will also cost 12 mana, rather than 9-10. Most painless way to compensate is to use an elreon -8mana cost ring with fertile catalyst, then have 1 single channelling skill -3mana on any ring. Ring doesn't have to be perfect but preferably it would be warlord-slammed for vulnerability since it is super easy to craft vulnerability on warlord ring rather than shapers assassin Mark.

    Is it just me or the Ritual league mechanic gets progressively worse throughout the league?

    Posted: 07 Mar 2021 11:23 PM PST

    In the first week , the league mechanic was actually rewarding. Then I felt like something changed and it started to be a bit off. Later it felt like it was not efficient to do it. Another week there was some change and they started usually offering at least 2c and higher tier essences. Nothing fun or particularly useful, but at least it paid the map mod cost and essences could be sold in bulks. I quit for 2 weeks, because the league mechanic was boring and unrewarding. I just dont enjoy max juicing maps spending most of my time micromanaging non-arpg content.

    I just returned and the rituals give me literally nothing, garbage tier currency, low tier essences and few useless rares. We also tried a private league simulating gauntlet and at lvl 55+ we only get white items with couple blues and no real currency or something useful?

    What happened? Is the league mechanic gradually rebalanced according to the few ppl juicing and playing it the normal way is supposed to be a waste of time?

    Thanks GGG

    Posted: 08 Mar 2021 07:13 AM PST

    Just wanted to say thanks for composing a beautiful game, your continued effort to maintain the game, and the mental fortitude needed to work as a small company in 2010 - 2014. I don't think its an easy business model, and it must have taken a lot of courage and strength to keep the lights turned on in your office.

    None of us are perfect. Even medical doctors, nuclear scientists, and lawyers make mistakes. But its very obvious the team does care. I probably would have quit working for your company if everything I did ellicited a "this feature is trash" or a "GGG doesn't give a shit." Thanks for hanging in there and continuing to show up every day, and for tolerating the verbal abuse from the PoE community.

    Headhunter giveaway for funniest dad joke

    Posted: 08 Mar 2021 10:32 AM PST

    Hello Subreddit. I had my first baby a few weeks before Ritual league started. I struggled to get play time in this league, but was very happy to still get 36/40. I ended up with a headhunter, and wanted to give it away instead of let it go to waste in standard forever. https://imgur.com/a/I1zswnM here's my headhunter in my stash incase anyone thinks crazy bamboozle. I'll leave this post up for 24 hours, but after that I'll choose the funniest dad joke I come across and that person will get to do with this belt whatever they so choose.

    Edit: sorry forgot to mention, Ritual Softcore on PC

    My First SSFHC A10 Kitava

    My First SSFHC A10 Kitava

    I know many other people have done this before, but after playing for over 2 years trying once or twice a league I've finally finished it. I'm so excited lol. Only took me 9hours 9mins.

    I figured I should maybe try to complete the campaign on HC before I go into the Class gauntlet next weekend... I copied(closely, not entirely) Ziz's SRS pop build because thats always been one of my favorite spells in the game. I had no idea that it was viable to actually play through the whole campaign with it tho, turns out I was just using the wrong links on it. Gonna try to repeat using this build, using the zombies/skellies to "block" the extra projectiles. I know most of the the ones that 1-shot you pierce, but I think I might have a chance with this.

    Edit to add Screenshots PoB:
