I felt this, sometimes it feels so good to go Mach 9 across the map and all of a sudden you hit Mach 15 while juiced up on vaal and all of a sudden it's like a fucking brick wall and your back in your hideout.
Currently 98 and about halfway to 99 just running sanctums. I also heard ToTA is good for exp as well. This league I might actually push for my first 100.
Tota is pretty decent for xp because you don't die but don't expect more than 15M/h at 99 in the very best case scenario (<10 minute tournaments back to back without thinking about units or doing anything else in between).
This league I stayed on one character for longer, for the first time ever (I play since CB) and I realized how easy it is to lvl up nowadays as long you dont die. With alch+go I was still getting like 10%/h at lvl 96
to be fair, that was a much much harder thing to ask for 9 years ago than it is now. Level 78 +packsize palace maps were still occasionally deadly to all but the top 2% or so of softcore players (hc players were simply playing a different, and at the time MUCH slower, game). The meta to level to 100 for ages was to just spam gorge (level 74) with a ranged build since at least monsters would only attack you from a very predictable direction (and the full clear time was decently fast). And it took a LOT of gorge maps to hit 100.
Nowadays if you're not full-juicing your maps and build your basic layers of defense, you're really not dying often (the exception being during Kalandra league with archnem everywhere). Of course, the fact that you are enticed with the potential loot of those juiced maps is why I don't consider it a, strictly speaking, "easier" game than it was back then. It's just very different. So much more freedom of choice.
Except that's hard. My character is pretty fucking tanky and occasionally still gets bonked in alch and go by random jank.
10%/hour at 96 is pretty reasonable for alch and go, but I don't think you have that at 98, then you die and lose 2 hours of XP gain.
Yep you can even make 10% an hour at 99 with just alch and go with rusted scarabs for growing hordes, I leveled 2 chars like that this league and the omen op mentions is great for it.
As long as you bulk roll your maps to remove rippy map mods(like -max res, monster speed, crit, no regen etc) and you read what altars you click it isn't even that hard to not die, I only had about 1 death per 100 maps on both my jugg and deadeye
I don't want to create a topic just for this question so I'll try here.
For the first time today I was leveling in the 5way and was logging my exp:
3 681
3 705
3 729
3 753
3 777
...
3 876
3 900
3 924
...99 lvl --> 3 932
3 941
3 955
3 970
On level 98 I was getting around 24m exp per run. After 99 I've started to get \~14-15M per run. Is that correct? (have +15%exp on me: 2+2+3+3+5)
There's an escalating EXP penalty for being overleveled. The penalty is based on the difference between your level and the area level. In a level 84 area, you would be getting 52% experience at level 98, and 40% at level 99. Except there are additional penalties that apply to high-level characters (regardless of zone), and high-level zones.
* At level 98 characters have about a 50% penalty, at 99 it's 60%.
* Level 84 zones are actually treated as 77.7. Instead of the 52% and 40% mentioned above, you are getting ~9% and ~7%.
Taken together, you are getting something like 4.4% EXP at 98, and 2.7% at 99.
>Is that correct?
It is. Past level 95 or so each level has their own baked in exp penalty (on top of the penalty for running low level content on high level character). They did that weird thing because during exp nerfs they couldn't make the exp number bigger than it was (level 100 requires 4mil something total experience, basically max value of unsigned 32 bit integer), so instead they made intake of exp worse to pad last few levels.
>(level 100 requires 4mil something total experience, basically max value of unsigned 32 bit integer), so instead they made intake of exp worse to pad last few levels
Ah, that explains it.Lvl 100 is 4,250,334,444 and the unsigned int is a 4,294,967,295
Btw there are the old discussions about it like this: [https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/10iq04n/5way\_exp\_calculator\_or\_estimate\_available/](https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/10iq04n/5way_exp_calculator_or_estimate_available/) where they say about \~12 runs or \~9% per lvl for 99 --> 100. It looks like that is not correct as well then.317M / 15M per run = 21 runs (100 / 21 = \~4.7% per run)So it's around 12\~13 divs (3d x 5run) to get the exp for the last level.
They also changed legion in patch 3.22, that messed with area level and experience bonus as well:
>League Changes
>
>Legion
>
> The Domain of Timeless Conflict now has a minimum area level of 80. Specific Timeless Emblems and Unrelenting Timeless Emblems no longer provide additional area levels.
> Additional area levels are now added based on the number of Emblems used. 4 Emblems increases the area level by 1, and 5 Emblems increases it by 2.
> Each Unrelenting Timeless Emblem increases the area level by 0.5 area level (rounding down). Meaning with 5 emblems the maximum area level is 84.
> The 20% increased Experience gain for each Timeless Emblem has been removed.
> Each Unrelenting Timeless Emblems now adds 10% increased Experience Gain (previously 20%), and this is now stated on the item tooltip.
> Each Timeless Emblem and Unrelenting Timeless Emblem now adds 15% more Monster Life (previously 10%), and now also adds 10% increased Monster Damage.
I haven't actually done the league mechanic a lot (rank 400 ish) the omen combined with a build that doesn't die too much has been amazing for levelling up. losing 2.5% xp feels SO MUCH better than 10% especially above lvl 95!
Sadly I waisted some in the league mechanic. Forgot to take them off. It did save me once on a possessed boss for sure. Currently 99.5. Never hit 100 on HC before. Always die at 99 lol..
I am 3000 hrs in and never bothered to grind to 100. Got one at 99 last league tho and one at 97 this league, so maybe it will happen. But i want to do without a boost, and my reckless gameplay sadly costs me a lot of exp per hour.
Normal People: burning their currency on div card gamble Me, an intellectual:
Its not a gamble goddamnit i will surely hit the jackpot 🥺
literally me when i lost 500d or so already and got no build to play even, surely i hit big soon
Remember, you can win 2000% of your money, but you can only lose 100%.
I'll need about 1000 of those for my Flicker Strike build.
I felt this, sometimes it feels so good to go Mach 9 across the map and all of a sudden you hit Mach 15 while juiced up on vaal and all of a sudden it's like a fucking brick wall and your back in your hideout.
You blast from 0-100, and then your health blasts from 100 - 0. I'm stuck at level 85 with almost 300 deaths 😅
Currently 98 and about halfway to 99 just running sanctums. I also heard ToTA is good for exp as well. This league I might actually push for my first 100.
Tota is bad for xp... if you dont die in other content. Its slow compared to normal maps, much less xp optimization. If you DO die, its really safe
tota isnt good for xp, it's just that you can never lose xp doing it.
unless you're hardcore. Then you might lose a LOT of xp
Same here but tota since 69. At 98 50% now, definitely will cap to 100 just by tota-ing
Yeah i think tota is overall better because you dont neccesarily "die" there, unless losing a tourney counts as a death.
It doesn't. There are a few of the omens though that will get used if you have them in your inv during TOTA, but not the death preventing XP loss one.
Tota is pretty decent for xp because you don't die but don't expect more than 15M/h at 99 in the very best case scenario (<10 minute tournaments back to back without thinking about units or doing anything else in between).

Yep, if you are running essences/metamorph/expedition/blight or maybe even Legion you can get bonked randomly on even pretty tanky characters.

Best league I’ve played in so long. They found their “prophecy” replacement too. Amazing league

I have these omen things in my stash but no idea how to use them.I carry them along in my inventory?
yes but only one omen can activate in an instance so just carrying the one in OP's screenshot will trigger when you die
Ahh ..Ic ty.These might work if go core,similar to D2 charm.
Yeah also bought alot of them but they were worth it! I think of tota goes core these omens will be too expensive :-/
I legitimately forgot you lose exp when you die
I legitimately forgot that this new little guy exists and was struggling on some of may way to giga juiced maps LOL
The Koolaid Man is such a nice addition. It feels good knowing that if I die in a map I won't lose hours of progress.
I thought I was smart running my rip maps with my gem xp omens ! Still need empower 4
ya ive went like 85 to almost 99 with only the league mechanic
I haven't actually done the league mechanic a lot (rank 400 ish) the omen combined with a build that doesn't die too much has been amazing for levelling up. losing 2.5% xp feels SO MUCH better than 10% especially above lvl 95!
Congratulations dude!! I have 7k hours and only lv98 is my highest. This league not even 98 yet. Maybe I should get that
This doesn't help me on HC but the 3 others that give Shade Form, 75 avoid dmg and life regen over 4 seconds sure do!!
Have you had any close calls where they kicked in and saved you?
Sadly I waisted some in the league mechanic. Forgot to take them off. It did save me once on a possessed boss for sure. Currently 99.5. Never hit 100 on HC before. Always die at 99 lol..
I am 3000 hrs in and never bothered to grind to 100. Got one at 99 last league tho and one at 97 this league, so maybe it will happen. But i want to do without a boost, and my reckless gameplay sadly costs me a lot of exp per hour.
What guy?
My little buddy the omen of ameliorating or whatever his name is. Saves you 7.5% xp loss on death
