Does not stack :( tested

(This was a natural div roll)

As my end-of-league gamba I decided to pay homage to the way I got my first Mageblood ever many leagues ago: Ancient Orbs. At first I intended to go for 10k orbs but they ended up being a bit more than expected. Some key stats first:

• Ancient Orbs were bought at ~33 Orbs/Divine from Faustus in the period of the last two days.
• All belts were sourced from the Breach tree while grinding for my level 100.
• All belts were at minimum 83 item level. None of them was foulborn and/or foil (although the foulborn/foil modifiers are lost when an ancient orb is used).
• Ancient orbs were used by level 100 character.
• It was more than impractical for me to track every single belt so I decided to track the "rarest" belts according to our current understanding of unique tiering. Those would be:

1. T0: Mageblood Heavy Belt
2. T0: Headhunter Leather Belt
3. T1: Ryslatha's Coil Studded Belt
4. T2: Sunblast Cloth Belt
5. T2: The Torrent's Reclamation Cloth Belt
6. T2: The Magnate Studded Belt

Any belts from the above list were removed and kept as reference. ALL other belts not included in the list were rerolled.

Total Cost: ~342 Divine (11287 Ancient Orbs)
The results:

• Magnate Studded Belt: 18
• Torrent's Reclamation Cloth Belt: 13
• Sunblast Cloth Belt: 7
• Ryslatha's Coil Studded Belt: 2
• Headhunter Leather Belt: 0
• Mageblood Heavy Belt: 0

Total Profit: ?

As a conclusion I'd say the chances are 50/50 to get a desirable result, I just landed on the bad 50%.

Hey Everyone, I've submitted a new grandmaster to the Hall of the Grandmasters.
It's significantly stronger than all the other GGNoobs. Keep an eye out for Paralyze

If you want to know what went into creating the Grandmaster and those responsible for our eternal suffering when they patch him in, you can find out here:

None of the clips are sped up, this is all 1x ingame speed.
Tank uber maven, 0.3 second uber exach (cannot packman the exarch balls like my previous builds due to not enough recoup or regen)

Inspired by u/Labayaccount123's luminary arc of oscillating (I decided to implement doryani's into the build)

Pobb damage is not accurate, I just took it right from Poe ninja. It doesn't include mercenary or ag, and many other buffs.

The issue:

The crafting bench does not recognize Fishing Rods as a real base type. This is incredibly insulting to not only the fisherman, but a reproach to the community as a whole. We already lost Pluto to not being a planet, do not let GGG take away Fishing Rods being a recognized crafting bench base-type. I have already done everything I possibly could do alone to fix this. I complained in global chat, then I also went on a water strike where I refused to drink water for like 45 minutes. GGG has still not budged. Sedition seems to be the only answer here.

Please go to the link above and make your voice heard so we can garner an auspicious result. GGG may hold the fishing gods in contempt, but soon they will learn that genuflection is the true path to absolution.

As the old lore tells us, Fairgraves was a whaler of great significance. This post is our harpoon, and we are hunting GGG's compliance. Whales make up only 1% of sea life, but catching this one will pay for all the rest!

Was checking prices of simplex STR stacking amulet earlier this league- it was not much higher then previous league- around 200 div if I remember correctly. And now its suddenly costs mirror. What exactly happened?

After all, we've been teased the fact that virtually every content will have a pass done. But, that only applies to endgame content, right? What about legacy? What about one of the iconic monsters of the game for a time, the cause of many a RIP clip from overconfidence (because surely it can't be that bad, right?), and that has, tragically, fallen so far to the wayside most newer players probably don't even know his name?

I am, of course, talking about the purplest of purple, the noblest of... lizards? small dragons? Whatever the fuck he is, Triskeriaki, the unique Rakango. (Also known, by some, as Tricky Teriaki)

Who's that, you ask?

Exactly.

To add insult to injury, it's not like he was actually removed, he was just shoved so far down a dead end in Kaom's Path that it takes being a special kind of directionally challenged to meet him.

-------------------------------

He's one of the very few unique monsters in the campaign that does NOT have a map boss counterpart. In fact, we got harvest map bosses (bramble valley) before we got our purple Rakango.

So, my fellow exiles, I invite you to rise up to the occasion, and accompany me in lobbying.

JUSTICE FOR TRISKERIAKI! RAKANGOS HAVE FEELINGS TOO! (Probably)

When spamming currencies to hit a specific modifier while crafting, it’s really easy to accidentally roll over the mod you’re looking for, which feels pretty bad when it has a low weighting. It can also get pretty tedious constantly checking the item after every roll.

The idea would be to have a simple On/Off toggle that prevents highlighted items from being modified. The protection would only apply to items that are highlighted using the current Regex system.

For example, if you're crafting an item and want to target a specific modifier, you could use a Regex to highlight the item when that modifier is present. With the protection toggle enabled, currencies that would normally modify the highlighted item would simply not work—similar to how Fusings stop working when a body armour is already at 6 links.

This would make it much safer and less tedious to spam currencies without accidentally rolling over a modifier you'd want to keep, while still allowing you to freely modify items that aren't highlighted.

Would you use something like this?

The rotation itself is pretty boring, and in my opinion, the rewards are not worth the time. There are definitely better ways to make currency these days. The only reason to do this rotation is to farm enough fragments for the Shaper, but that's it.

VideoProof

I came across both GrandMasters in the same pack while I was trying to unlock the achievement for finishing the map.

What a nice surprise

Of course, my character wasn't up to the task.

I've played around 700 hours of PoE, and I'm starting to feel like I've been playing the game completely wrong.

When I started, I struggled just to get through the campaign. After learning a bit more about the game, I eventually managed to make it into maps. In the last few leagues, I played Eviscerate, then Earthshatter. In a few other leagues I tried Elementalist builds, but I would always get one-shot, and honestly, I didn't really understand what I was doing (not that I understand the game that well now either lol).

This league I'm playing Smite of Divine Judgement. I had a lot of fun leveling through the campaign with Static Strike, but somehow I always end up hitting the same wall: I get into maps and then I have no idea what I'm supposed to do next.

This time I managed to get to level 93 and complete 100/100 Atlas maps. I even got my first Eldritch Voidstone. But it feels like I always get stuck around this point.

Am I supposed to just keep farming until I can afford the ~270 divines needed for the Foulborn set before I can start doing Pinnacle bosses? Or am I missing some other progression path? Maybe I'm not even supposed to be farming that way?

The problem is that I don't feel like I can really farm efficiently either. If I juice my maps too much, I just end up dying. I've been trying Harvest and managed to make about 1 divine, plus some chaos here and there, but the gap between that and something like a Foulborn setup feels absolutely massive.

Am I missing something obvious?

Even in previous leagues, I feel like I always stopped at roughly the same point. I can get into maps, progress the Atlas, and get some basic upgrades, but then I just don't know what the next step is supposed to be.

Level 93 Leap Slam Inquisitor
Following this build:
Smite of Divine Judgement Inquisitor League Starter

I'd really appreciate some advice on what I should be focusing on at this point. I feel like there's a huge part of the game I'm completely missing.

And it's horrible, I hate it, therefore you must know about this as well.

Think "Factorio" or "Satisfactory".

You go through the campaign and/or maybe maps to collect parts to build an assembly line of machines to auto-craft items.

You get to set configurations on different stages of machines to start the next step in the crafting process.
Add all your AND, OR, IF, NOT conditions.
Select specific mods and tiers.
Set Loops with Alteration orbs or Restart with Scouring Orb, etc.
Choose which currency to use at which stage.
Have a new material in maps that you need to farm to use as fuel to make machines go brrrr.
Use existing materials like Bars/Dust/Sulphite/Azurite/Oils/etc. to boost outcomes or crafting speeds or whatever.
You put the base item in. You put your materials/fuel in that you want the machine to use. And you wait for either the perfect item based on your config, or a bricked item because you tried Fracturing Orb.

I guess you could argue that it should just grab currency from your stash, but I'd rather not have people accidentally use expensive stuff. So many times people sell HH or MB for exalts/chaos when they didn't mean to. Imagine accidentally setting up a wrong config and spending all your divines when you want to chaos spam.

I see a Feared posts every league and the profit/hr always seems lower than I expected based on Wiki drop rates, so I decided to run 200 and track everything above ~50 chaos. I ended up with ~1.5x profit per hour, but that is partially due to my low run time.

• Total Cost: -380 divs

• Total Revenue: 1,635 divs

• Total Profit: 1255 divs

• Total runtime: 30.1 hours (~9:14/set)

• Div/hr: 41.7 (ranged from 36-50 in my 4 sets of 50)

.

Methodology

Bought all frags during the week, setting cheap buy orders and waiting. Ran 100 sets Fri-Sun on 2 separate weekends, liquidating every 50 sets. Fast rotations, using a mule account to port out of Sirus and Uber elder. Build could also jump into Sirus storms to trigger him quickly, and sometimes phase past the last Dread phase.

I kept everything above ~50c. ID'd all Crown of the Inward eyes, selling good rolls and corrupting the rest (0 hits). I used Sirus/Dread speeches to ID/corrupt/pricecheck/manage inventory. Dark Monarchs are listed as sold unidentified but I started IDing them half way (very worth).

I tracked the runs in sets of 50 to see variance and the div/hr ranged from 36 to 50. For run time estimate, I tracked 3 sets of 10 and averaged. Pretty consistent times, with only variable being whether I phased Dread and skipped his last ~25 second rose step (managed every 5 or so runs).

Build was a Str stack Juggernaut, with 500 M DPS, very high mobility and high EHP. On a "typical" feared build, I'd expect ~10-12 min runs for ~30-35 div/hr profit

.

Notes

• Even with 0 big ticket drops, profit would still have been 24 div/hr

• I think I got insanely lucky on Bottled Faiths, since all came from the Feared

• Roughly half the revenue was from Feared invite (2 wines, all Bottled, all Dying, lots of orbs)

• Happy to give tips on lowering Feared run time if people are interested.

Hey pals,

Hope you doing good ^^

Just released the latest version of Heist Curio Tracker with major improvements to capture speed and reliability, you can now customize which regions of the screen the tool should be using to capture for more personalised and in some cases faster responses, alongside a couple QoL features and fixes, hope this update proves useful to you all!

This tool allows you to quickly take a screenshot of the Grand Heist Curio Displays and save them as reward data, so you can easily analyze the loot you find during your runs.

Each capture has a toast in the top right as a notification which shows the captured items, their value (poe.ninja), rarity and ownership status (PoE Ladder).

Thank you for trying out the tool and for the feedback throughout the year of development, much appreciate it!

A more in-depth changelog available on the github release page, happy heisting!

Played Kripp's Power Siphon Templar for Open Beta which launched 23rd of January, 2013.

• 5L for clear PS-GMP-Chain-Weapon Elemental Damage-Life on Hit(?)
• 4L for single target PS-WED-Crit Dmg-Faster Attacks
• Only two gems were 20% quality because either they hadn't added the GPC quality recipe in or it hadn't been discovered yet. GCP's were used as the primary form of trading currency I believe.
• Auras: Wrath, (Anger?), Determination, Purity of Elements, Discipline, Clarity
• Spell Totem-Faster Casting-Summon Skeletons to stay alive since we had zero defensive layers
• Three, count 'em, THREE life flasks
• There was no currency tab... or any other affinity
• Templars had no pants

Number one, the very, very big one which both PoE 1 and PoE 2 players are going to rejoice at, when they finish the campaign, they are not scaling the company down.

They are keeping all of their employees.

And what that means is that all of the developers that are currently working on the campaign are going to either be split into working on endgame systems for Path of Exile 2 or Path of Exile 1.

He did say specifically in his own words that the Path of Exile 1 team is going to be growing once PoE 2 launches.

Thirsting for those sweet, sweet reservation efficiency while hoarding the trash for no reason.

edit, context:
Golem builds are notoriously hungry for reservation efficiency so you can stack as many auras and defensive layers as possible. Hitting the Reservation Efficiency Vaal implicit on your Primordial Gems is huge, but pre-corrupted ones sell for several Divines a pop. Since you need a literal dozen of them, buying them pre-made will drain your bank. You’re much better off mass-corrupting raw gems yourself: it takes patience and leaves you with a pile of bricked junk, but the average crafting cost is way cheaper than buying off trade.

Hi not-cockroaches,

friendly reminder that starting this week on the 3rd of September GGG is running the ExileCon Qualifier Race.

So if you're still missing the "Out of the Gate" achievement this is your chance to get it.
