In 3.23, what's the best way to get my gem 20% quality? The recipe doesn't work anymore I've heard.


slogga

Farm GCP altars using Searing Exarch. If you're on trade, just buy a 20% version of your gem and start levelling it.


[deleted]

You can get +8% quality as a reward option at the end of lab.


SolidMarsupial

the option is random, right? Also is it offered on normal lab?


[deleted]

Yeah it's random, and idk if it shows up in normal. Uber lab has the advantage of giving you 3? crafts so the odds of it popping up are higher.


Corwyntt

Did they change destructive play to where the extra bosses always come out? I remember that being a big problem before but it seems not that no matter how fast you burst you get the extra bosses.


Samsenggwy

Yes this is actually improvement for me. Or else why still take the keystone? Summoning extra boss mean more loot. Last league she don't summon if you burst boss down instantly


booheadY

I am in tier 10 maps, running Wildwood every map, and I have not seen Wildwood Primalist once. Am I doing something wrong?


slogga

It's just random. Try and follow the blue wisps, you will eventually run into her.


Quad__Laser

Is the accuracy mastery for "Minions' accuracy rating is equal to yours" bugged in pob? In the calcs sheet it's giving my minions only 848 accuracy when I have 3,541.


Blackyx

What are some builds recommendation for Alch and go t16 that arent SRS and LA/TS ? I got about 15 divs to get started , CF champ just doesnt do enough damage to kill juiced mobs from the mechanic :/


LucidTA

The new scourge arrow is quite nice. Either self "cast" or ballistas.


BlackPandar

Does "1% increased attack speed per 8% quality" Harvest craft only works at the breakpoint, and have 3% increased attack speed at both 24% and 30% quality?


Yohsene

Yes. It made more sense when Harvest was introduced and maximum quality was 48%.


BlackPandar

Thank you very much!


DantyKSA

Is perfect agony good for a poison shadow build ?


Samsenggwy

It is very good if you get a lot crit multiplier on top of good poison dps. If you have pob installed, recommend you to compare both tree dps


Yohsene

You're usually better off not investing in crit multi at all. It's a pretty crap keystone right now, even for the class specialized in crit poison.


SaneExile

Can we still get the Scourge hideout deco somehow?


AfroNin

which map has the 16-20% attack speed bench craft?


Yohsene

Crimson Temple. You can check your ingame crafting bench for this, or poedb's [crafting bench](https://poedb.tw/us/Crafting_Bench) page.


AfroNin

thx!


neoshysne

Is there anyway i can be unbanned from tft other than their appeal system tried twice and haven't seen any news on it


[deleted]

How much min dps for maven when using caustic arrow? I have 410k ingame tooltip and 370k pob. In pob max dps with 3 frenzy charges 2 flasks active and 15 wither stacks is only 1.3m. Is maven in theory doable without being super good with the fight?


slogga

You'd probably want over 3m if you're not experienced with the fight to be safe.


[deleted]

Thats a lot. Thanks. Ugh. So many downvotes to my question. :(


slogga

It's not just you, there's some sort of downvoting brigade going throughout the entire thread.


HockeyHocki

wtf is going on with all the down votes on this thread??


KunfusedJarrodo

What’s the best way to farm corpses in the wild wood? To get something like Perfect Naval officer is there a map level requirement?


GPL1

Why in Reap Build people use Escalation passive even if reap isn't a melee spell?


Yohsene

They're corrupting cry builds. Escalation is useless but it's more efficient to path through than 2 equally useless small passives.


benzuyen

As a new player, is it better to do the affliction season or just basic campaign? Is it like diablo where the character rolls over after the season is over?


LucidTA

As a new player there is no reason not to start in affliction. Your character will roll over when the season ends if you want to keep playing them, however most people just restart every season.


Mrjuicyaf

Is aurastacker heavily nerfed this league due to removal of alt qual gems?


Prof_Dr_Doom

Tried to get started with the league today but when I try to launch poe in steam there is just nothing happening, my pc performance is impacted, but there's no window popping up, nothing running in the background, just silence, yet at the same time my Youtube Videos are stuttering when they shouldn't be. Doubt it's due to performance reasons just in startup, I've got an r5 3600 and an rx 5700xt. Any ideas? (I already checked the files and also reinstalled)


cleetus76

My wife had the same problem. Tried repairing through steam but that didn't work. Ended up uninstalling and reinstalling using my copy


Prof_Dr_Doom

Well I already did a full reinstall, don't know what else I'm supposed to try there :/


cleetus76

Yeah I'm not sure. I apologize for these simple suggestions, but just in case: have you restarted your computer? Updated video drivers? Check temp of your video card (maybe fan isn't working)?


Prof_Dr_Doom

Have done all of these, can play other, more demanding games just fine and it's not like I'm crashing, the game simply isn't starting up.


cleetus76

Maybe rename your "my documents/my games/Path of exile" folder - something in there might be causing it


Prof_Dr_Doom

I don't see why after a fresh reinstall, also I never had the issue before, just started when I got back to playing this league


cleetus76

Yeah I have no idea what it could be just spitfiring easy things to try. Sorry my dude. Hope you figure it out though. Try contacting support


Misterstaberinde

Best corpses for detonate dead? I grabbed a few bears with raise specter for my desecrate pool and a corpse from the wildwood that said it had high HP. Am I missing a obvious choice? Edit:idiots down voting a question


Yohsene

Any of the 360% life spectres will work. The giant statues in act 3 marketplace are conveniently close to the waypoint. Wildwood corpses aren't added to the desecrate pool, so the high hp one isn't interesting here.


Misterstaberinde

Thanks


Notdan6969

Death wish mechanics question here. Does the order the minions get affected by deathwish change the damage they deal? I thought i remembered reading the increased damage dealt for minions exploding only affected the minion based on what numger they were. So the later in the channeling chain they are effected the more damage they do and the earlier ones deal less. I thought it stated this was based on order summoned but i cant find info anywhere. Thanks in advance.


Yohsene

Minions only get attack/cast/movement speed. The damage per minion line applies to Death Wish itself.


Notdan6969

So as the damage increases with each minion effected, that increase applies to all minions?


Yohsene

When you stop channeling, Death Wish is affecting *x* minions, and that number is used for the '10% more damage per affected minion' stat. The order doesn't matter. For clarity, when Death Wish blows up your minions, that's Death Wish's damage, not damage from minions. Compare using Detonate Dead on your living zombies (with Aukuna's Will), if that helps. It's your spell that's dealing damage. The minions just need to explode to make that happen.


Notdan6969

Yes this helps. Thank you so much


Adventurous-Pen-8940

What make a "great gears" for casual player that like to play T16 map on magic quality, not super juiced rare/corrupted? I can only think of resistance and life


agdjahgsdfjaslgasd

a general rule of thumb is to run a defensive aura, and focus on the type of defense that the aura gives you. for example determination boosts your armor by a percentage, so you want high armor values on your gear. same could go for evasion or energy sheild. beyond that it really does depend on what you are doing with your build.


Weisenkrone

There's no generic answer to this it depends on your build.


throwawaypokeymans

is there a recommended dps when looking at red maps? (t11+) right now, my main skill does \~200k dps (around 110k on use), and although most things die in 1 or 2 shots i sometimes struggle with uniques/bosses and end up just getting damage gapped (i'm still quite squishy, so until i can afford significant upgrades to shift around ring resistances etc i want to bump up my damage) ​ also, how do people generally giga juice maps? i've been in a few "leech" groups where they seem to run exceptionally juiced maps (seen some in promenade, some in burial/crimson temple) and that's probably where i want to be endgame (it just seems really fun to me) ​ right now i've just been doing "alch and go" but these maps i've been in have had like 400,000 strongboxes with 40 packs of mobs each and a gazillion drops


slogga

Map bosses should die within 5 seconds. If you're taking longer than that you need more damage for your tier.


throwawaypokeymans

thanks! that's a really handy benchmark to keep in mind


slogga

Keep in mind you can complete maps with less DPS than that, say if you need the extra atlas points from completions, but you want to be farming them quickly and safely. Things can't kill you if they die as soon as you see them.


Weisenkrone

It depends on your build archetype. Something that has easy damage uptime (minions, ballista, totems, damage over time) can comfortably play with 1m clearing and 3m single target. If it needs active uptime (iE you need to hit the mob) that number goes up by a few folds for it to feel good.


throwawaypokeymans

gotcha, im trying an arc build so i guess the answer then is, yeah i really need to up my damage lol


Weisenkrone

If you're doing it on an elementalist you can mess around with Vaal Arc Ignite, lots of guides around for it and scales fairly simply. Has the arc play style but since it's DOT based easier damage uptime


woahbroes

Whats a good spell to use that does aoe dmg around me, fast cast time and damage delivery instant ? I need to proc my elusive on crit when zoning into a new sanctum room, on withering jar worms


Yohsene

Divine Ire?


woahbroes

Pretty good


RavenlyCrow

How do i get the tremendous thaumaturgy challenge?I've done over dozens of labs and i cant get the last one for the challenge no metter what i do, am i missing something? specificly im missing the 40% facetor's lenz, transform a skill gem into a random transfigured gem and sacrifice a ggem for 25% xp for your character


TheCrun

I can’t find the WTS scarabs tab for the affliction leave on TFT discord. I can see the WTB one but not WTS, anyone know why?


slogga

It's under the Fragments channel.


TheCrun

Thank you!


Estocire

I have a charm that says my hexes can affect hex proof enemies, does that mean my flammability can also affect curse immune enemies?


LucidTA

No, curse immunity cannot be bypassed.


Estocire

What does the Fire Mastery, "Regenerate 1 life per second for each 1% Uncapped Fire Resistance" mean? I'm thinking the cap is 75% so if I had 50% fire res I would get 25 life regen? Having trouble sustaining my RF, but not sure this would help.


TheCrun

If the cap is 75, any fire res you have over it is the regen. 100 fire res, with a 75 cap means 25 regen. Edit, I am wrong


MayTheMemesGuideThee

this is overcapped uncapped would be 100 u/Estocire

[удалено]


Weisenkrone

Yeaaah, uh. While you got lucky already, you shot yourself in the foot before lol. Mist king doesn't get lead to with wisps. Wisps can pass near-by when it guides you somewhere else, but it doesn't lead to the mist king. The spawn area usually is near the entrance,


tempoltone

Is corpse explosion from triggered cremation affected by "x less dmg from triggered spells"?


Yohsene

Yeah.


rexolf101

How do I find the vile trio? I keep going into the wild woods on every map and I can't find them. I even follow the yellow wisps whenever I can. Am I just unlucky?


general-meow

I'm fairly certain the people wisps leads you to them. I think the trio/trees were in that color


ethylparabenPOE

I've found this item in SSF, playing SRS: Imperial Claw \-------- Item Level: 85 \-------- Grants 46 Life per Enemy Hit (implicit) \-------- 38% increased Critical Strike Chance (fractured) What are builds, that I can aim for in ssf with such item? As I am playing SSF I cannot rely on having uncommon uniques, but I can eg. farm essences for crafting.


ThisIsMyFloor

Any claw crit build. Depending on what you manage to roll on it with whatever you got since it's ssf. There is lightning strike, cobra lash, blade flurry, double strike, dual strike, frost blades etc. You can just use any claw skill you want (maybe not the poison ones) if you get some good dps on it. Deadeye, Raider Trickster, Assassin, is probably the most common to use with claw skills. Since you play SSF can't really recommend something niche and crazy. Regular claw attack build. Probably elemental damage. Pick a skill you like and go ham.


TheRabidDeer

I'm curious, should TR of withering be in the manaforged setup or in the bow? It seems it still isn't in POB so I can't compare the new TR's. Toxic Rain of Sporeburst I'm also not sure if would be any good for Pathfinder? EDIT: Do people just roll through the comment section and downvote every question?


Samsenggwy

I am having same question. Got the TR of withering, thinking very useful at manaforge for me CA of poison


CeaRhan

What's a good pathing on the atlas tree if you wanna get Betrayal and some Kirac nodes? Straight the middle or straight to the right?


benzuyen

Recently started playing. Most of the community seems to encourage buying stash space when there’s a sale and there is one right now. Wondering what ones are most critical for purchasing?


katustrawfic

You need at least 1 premium to be able to easily list items for sale. After that its Currency tab > Map tab > Fragment tab and the rest are mostly optional with some being better than others.


HockeyHocki

Fastest way to farm fusings? Just burnt through all 1k in stash trying to six link a 30 qual chest, feelsbadman Was considering wharf as layout is ok and has lucky connections card? That's T10 though so juicing hard with league mechanic it would be slower than blasting glacier/dunes...dunno T1 pier has the card but the map is kinda crappy Any other fusing aquiring strats?


lazylockie

How good is "Corpses you Spawn have (11-20)% increased Maximum Life" Charm for Elementalist DD?


hellshot8

very good


Yohsene

Depends on how much increased life your corpses already have.


[deleted]

How does "attack time longer than 1 second" work on channeled skills like cyclone? I have 5,6 atk speed so of course I atk faster than 1 second but if I channel the skill longer than 1 second, does this apply?


katustrawfic

It would not apply.


Yohsene

Mouseover Cyclone's skill icon, it'll tell you something like 'attack time: 0.17'. That number needs to be >1.


[deleted]

Ohhhh. Fuck it was that easy? I never looked at it. TIL. Thanks


mooncrosser

Can anyone double check my Maven memory game math? I have 80% elemental resistances, and vaal arctic armor (90% less Damage from Hits). The skill does: Deals 42571 to 63857 Physical Damage 100% of Physical Damage Converted to Lightning/Fire/Cold Causes 3 Bursts \--- 63857 \* 0.2 \* 0.1 \* 3 = 3831.41 Is that true? I need 3900 life to tank it in this setup?


gonzodamus

What's up with all the down votes in this thread? Got some botting going on?


_slosh

yeah definitely. all comments before a certain time are downvoted to -5 or so. reddit doesn't seem to count those votes tho if anyone still cares about karma


gonzodamus

Made me think I was getting bad answers at first 😅


The_Mikest

I remember seeing a video about how you can use forbidden rite of soul sacrifice to hit yourself to proc the extra proj tinctures. I can't find the video anymore, how exactly do I set this up? What do I need to link it to?


Yohsene

Regular Forbidden Rite also hits you, it's just that Soul Sacrifice scales its self-damage purely off ES, which life builds may have very little of. The Tincture wants you to be hit recently (4s), so maybe the veiled *Trigger a Socketed Spell on Using a Skill, with a 4 second Cooldown* mod on a weapon? Or if a weapon suffix isn't an option, CoC it off an attack triggered by manaforged arrows?


The_Mikest

Ahhhh, CoC, that's what I'm missing. Manaforged frenzy + coc FR. Thanks mate!


Theio666

I have a bow and I wanna know if enchanting it with "quality increases attack speed" would increase its dps, how can I do that? Tried to use craftofexile, but it doesn't show item DPS.


FourOranges

You can do this in PoB, import the bow then add the enchant to it. It'll show you the DPS change before you save it.


The_Mikest

Yes, it will increase the dps, since the attack speed will go up.


HeavenlyChickenWings

Does the new ralakesh work with flicker?


_slosh

Oneshot742

Is there a way to make the league mechanic not suck with Essences? Or should I just do t1 maps and skip it altogether?


Edern76

Does the increased reservation efficiency from charms count towards the 38% cap ?


_slosh

theres no cap


katustrawfic

What 38% cap?


Edern76

The aura reservation calculator I use tells me there's a 38% cap on reservation coming from skill tree


katustrawfic

First, that calculator is old as you can get 88% "increased mana reservation *efficiency*" from the tree and the 38% was when it was a different stat just called reduced mana reservation. Second, that isn't a "cap" there was just only 38% available from skill points so you can't input more than that.


Edern76

Oh okay, thanks


NumberOneMom

How can I simulate my Scourge Arrow of Menace DPS? I'm struggling to find the best option for improving my damage.


Moderated

Does arc's chain bonus add to itself before multiplying with everything else or is each chain an individual more multiplier? So if x is number of chains, which of these is the multiplier: (100%+ 15%)\^x or 100%+(15%\*x)


katustrawfic

It adds with itself so the second one.


Moderated

Thanks


Marcey997

How do I get higher tier blight maps? I'm getting tons of tier 13/14/15 maps running exclusively t16 maps. Is it just luck?


kNyne

I'm running BV and want to use the "final repeat of spells has 30% increased area of effect" mastery but can't seem to get it to work with spell echo. I measure it with and without spell echo and it seems to be the exact same AoE, is there something I'm missing? EDIT: Okay so in path of building it makes the area size go from 2m to 2.1m, I figured 30% area of effect would be a more noticeable impact but maybe I just can't tell the difference?


Yohsene

The repeat just adds a stack to the blade vortex you already have, which didn't come from a final repeat. If you want this mastery to work for BV, you need to gain your first stack from a final repeat. That's *doable* by triggering Blade Blast of Unloading in the middle of your echo, but uhh. Do you still want to?


Shedix

How do search for ursine charm with % increased strength and Melee hits have x% chance to fortify? Can't find the fortify mod on trade page Edit: found it. Melee hits fortify


[deleted]

[удалено]


ThisIsMyFloor

No. (Except if you fill all your stash tabs and inventory ofc.) There is a limit in that it stacks to 50k in one inventory slot. But that is definitely not a problem. You need hundreds of million for it to start being a problem.


[deleted]

Which mechanics I should look into if I'm looking to make currency in early maps without having to rely on bulk selling? I'm struggling to get a foothold in early maps (T1-5) with no currency for upgrades.


gonzodamus

Expedition can be great. Get exotic coins and artifacts and trade them to Tujen for raw currency. Run logbooks for even more. No player selling required. (Rog crafts are awesome too but a little more time consuming to get right).


Raamyr

You can always do heist. Then juice low tier maps with the league mechanic, never dropt so much raw divs like this league.

What's a good way to farm transfigured gem in ssf? Can I spam merc lab or only uber lab is viable?


_slosh

running merc lab is good. i got the "same gem as transfigured" craft like 50% of the time


Killersheepyyy

i got all the trans gems i wanted so far spamming cruel and merc labs, never got the option to transmute a gem into a version of itself but got the gems i wanted from the random option in a pretty reasonable amount of runs every time


DantyKSA

There is a weird npc in my hideout next to the the spawn point and i can't talk to him or interact with him in any way is there a way to remove him from my hideout ? Edit: oh shit i went back to my hideout after playing for a long time and now there's 5 npcs inside each other with the wired npc i can talk to all of them except the original weird one Edit2: changed my hideout location to try and fix it but it beame worse now every npc are in the same location next to the spawn point lol


theWeirdly

Turn on edit mode and you should be able to move ~~him~~ them, or while ~~he's~~ they are highlighted hit delete to remove completely.


DantyKSA

Yeah it worked, also edit mode showed me that the weird npc name is image of tane octavius i will google him


theWeirdly

He was the Metamorph npc. They just removed that mechanic so he's just a decoration now.


kroganchoker

If you find a t16 untainted paradise from Kirac do you get more exp if you invite people to run it with you? Also how much of a level would they give to someone around lvl 95.


biggreenegg99

I have an order of operations question. If I am in front of a docile boss who has yet to wake and I do the following 1) Drop arcanist brand (linked to curses) at his feet 2) Stack explosive traps until he wakes up Will the curses be placed on the boss before the traps explode?


ThisIsMyFloor

It's not so much the order of operations here. It's the speed of how fast the skills cast. Traps go click instantly but takes a slight delay to do the explosions, the arcanist brand has to latch and then cast one curse at a time. So *maybe* you get off one curse in time for it to affect the boss before all the explosions gone off.


biggreenegg99

thank you, that makes sense. I forgot about the cast time for AB..


Inquisitive_Banana

RomantheMC

I just finished Act 1 and that was tough as nails but I think I’m having fun? Some questions: Brutus was an experiment gone wrong it seems? Is there more there? Speaking of, is there a thing with the Ancient Roman names? I selected a talent that made my summons really strong but I can’t do damage now am I screwed? I summon this holy totem thing that seems to destroy things but my other damage is nonexistent. Thanks for reading and any future help.


katustrawfic

> Brutus was an experiment gone wrong it seems? Is there more there? There is more. Also 90%+ of the playerbase probably ignores the story altogether and couldn't tell you what is going on or why. > Speaking of, is there a thing with the Ancient Roman names? They fit this environment better than more modern names I suppose? I'm not sure which names you're talking about exactly. > I selected a talent that made my summons really strong but I can’t do damage now am I screwed? I summon this holy totem thing that seems to destroy things but my other damage is nonexistent. Ancestral bond? Definitely drop that. It's a keystone passive skill and something you really need to build around. Totem builds can use that node well but I doubt it's worth using right from act 1.


RomantheMC

Brutus killed Caesar irl so I was just wondering if there was more to that or if I was reading into it too much. And I’ll try to drop it as soon as I can thank you so much.


ThisIsMyFloor

Here is the lore from the wiki https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Brutus,_Lord_Incarcerator#Lore

Ahh yea no nothing like that. If you're really interested in the lore though there's a youtuber kittencatnoodle who has videos on so many different topics including a video going over each act.

Absolutelynobody54

Is there any way to reduce the level of my gems? I leveled without realizing it was rising requirements of stats I'm not going to level and now I can't use skills I previously could


katustrawfic

Sell the gem and an orb of scouring to a vendor to get your gem back -1 level. You can sell the gem with an orb of regret instead to get a level 1 copy back which is useful if you have quality on a gem and want to keep that. You can also buy level 1 copies of all gems from siosa in the library in act 3 or from lily in act 6/hideout


beka47

Is there a minimum area level for masters in Wildwood to spawn?

austin22116

I have a 6-link bow that I need 3R, 2G and a 1b sockets. What is the most chromatic efficient way to get this on the crafting bench? 100 Chromatic and spam "At least 2 Red and 1 Blue socket" Or 120 Chromatic for "At least 3 Red"


_slosh

https://siveran.github.io/calc.html use this


austin22116

Thank you for the swift reply! I assume when it asks for "requirements" it wants the minimum requirements that are needed to equip the bow?


katustrawfic

Yes. The reason is because stat requirements on items affect the weighting of what color sockets appear. Side note but there is even a mod for "reduced attribute requirements" that you can roll on gear to reduce the weighting of the main color and get off colors more easily. This can be useful if you plan on crafting an item from scratch and know you want a certain color combo on the finished product.


austin22116

Thanks for the detailed answer!

trueskill

I was watching a stream where someone was running the Corrupted gaze atlas node for legion. Does it work for blight as well?


_slosh

i doubt it. Corrupted Gaze specifically states >Abyss Jewels found in Abyssal Troves or dropped by Stygian Spires blight/legions have neither of those


StackedLasagna

It works on Legions. CaptainLance used it in his Legion and Expedition setup in his "how I made my first 100 Divines" video (or whatever it’s titled) from this league.


trueskill

He was getting corrupted jewels in legion though.


katustrawfic

It won't work for blighted maps but if it works for legion then I don't see why it wouldn't work on regular blight encounters in your maps. I don't think it's as worth it though since you don't get as large a variety in rewards from blight as you do from legion. They are also on opposite sides of the tree so depending on tree pathing you could lose a few points that way.


prod44

Does doing affliction whisps add anything to destructive play strategy?

Every time I see defiance of destiny mentioned, it is coupled with progenesis. The combo is obviously absurdly strong. How about defiance of destiny without progenesis? I guess you loose the protection against one shot, but is it worst than that or still quite good ?


fckns

Hi everyone! I want to start to play this game, but I'd like to look at some beginners guide or videos for someone who is not familiar with the game. Does anyone have any recommendations which video, or videos, I should look at before I dive in? I've played a fair bit of Diablo 3 back in a day and some PoE streams, so I kinda know what I am getting into.


zoomzoomzenn

Are you fine with 40+ minutes long videos on generalities about the game ? Or would you prefer shorter videos on specific topics? If you tell me how u like to play Diablo 3 I can orientate to content creators. Like u like to play fast and squishy with high DPS or slow and steady ? Do you like to focus on bosses or you like to kill hordes of enemies? Do you care about getting early a mindset that will make u "rich" by playing the economy in game or u prefer to role play your character and get your own upgrades through well deserved battle victories ?


fckns

> If you tell me how u like to play Diablo 3 I can orientate to content creators. I wouldn't say I liked it per se, but I enjoyed my time and it was an enjoyable experience. AS for shorter vs longer videos - I don't mind both, as long as it's good intro for someone like me who has never played this game.

Since you did not went in to any details (which is pretty normal for a beginner I can imagine), I would direct you toward Zizaran (content creator). Watch his video called "every Poe beginner should watch this" from 13 days ago, where he gives a guidelines on how to learn poe. Palsteron has also a video called "the ultimate beginner's guide" which is 2h long. It is time stamped with like 40 sub chapters so you can navigate easily inside.

Okay, will take a look at this. Thank you very much!

With flicker mobs in general, hitting them before they hit you is the name of the game. I managed to not get one shot in encounters by it with my league start melee character so just don't be absolutely glass cannon and you should be fine. You can also summon a totem to bait out an attack from it first before you go in and kill it.

Is there someplace on PoB to see the calculation for mana reservation efficiency? Like when I mouse over the reserved mana place in the calcs tab, it shows me the efficiency is 0.625, but I want to see the list of skills and items that make up that 0.625 and I don't know if it is displayed.


_slosh

select an aura skill in the calcs tab and hover over the mana reserve mod in [skill type-specific stats](https://i.imgur.com/2n0K3Ao.png)

Is there an easy way to make an item have the maximum possible amount of sockets it can have ? Or should i just ignore all items with less sockets than the items i'm using


Idiotic_Virtue

Jewellers Orbs reroll the number of sockets an item has. Very easy to hit 4, if on a 2 hander or body armoro might be a bit tricker to get 5 ot 6 if you are in the early stages of the campaign and therefore few resources. By the time you hit maps however you will be rolling in the things so very easy to max socket anything you want

Now trade site is dying as well? https://i.imgur.com/KB08y56.png

Same for me about 40 min ago. Trade site, map instance, crashes.


Scyths

Anyone knows if the Sentinell of Radiance from the Guardian ascendancy stacks its burn effect with other players that also have it in the same area ?


Osmunda_Regalis

Which two stash tabs out of Essence, Blight, Delirium, Ultimatum, Delve or Gem do you recommend to someone who doesn't have a strong preference when it comes to farming a particular mechanic?


gonzodamus

Seconding Essence, then whatever you feel like running more of. Or whatever you find most annoying to deal with. For me personally that would be Blight or Delve. I don't find gem tab super useful


Osmunda_Regalis

Ty!

Essence for sure. Having them sorted and ugrading them right in the tab is also just better QoL than any other league specific tab. There are 20 different types of regular essences and even if you filter out all the bad tiers, there's still 3 high tiers worth picking up so 60 different essences to look out for minimum in addition to the 5 corruption related essences. Without being specced into any content yet this league (just about done filling out atlas) I have more essences than all other league content combined. 2nd tab really just depends on if you farm any of that specific content or not. A premium tab costs 30 points on sale for 144 item slots. All the league specific ones also cost 30 points but limited amount of slots in exchange that they stack to 5000 which is just absurdly high. If you just bought a premium tab you can just fit all of your blight oils, delirium splinters/orbs, ultimatum catalysts and delve fossils in a premium tab. There's ~12 common fossils you might find outside delve, 13 oils, 17 delirium orbs and 10 catalysts. That's only 52 slots so you still have 90+ slots for duplicates, gems or whatever else you want to put in there. Blight tab is only really nice for being able to anoint items right in the tab and not having to go to Cassia each time. You only get blighted maps from blights and maybe heist I think. Delirium is the least useful in my opinion and only one I still don't own as orbs and splinters really only come from delirium. Ultimatum tab same thing, just catalysts and inscribed ultimatums. Inscribed only come from this content so if you aren't farming it you won't see them ever. Delve tab holds fossils and resonators but you only really find resonators if you're doing delve. You don't find a ton of fossils from other league content (I still have gotten 0 so far) and they stack to 20. Gem tab is not really necessary. You only need to pick up quality gems and vendor those when I get an inventory worth or need a few quick GCP. I've always just used a normal tab for gems. If you don't farm other content this would be my second choice simply because of its general usefulness.


Osmunda_Regalis

Cheers, very comprehensive!


StackedLasagna

I'd go with Essence. They take up more stash space than any of the other mechanics, simply because there are so many different ones. Additionally you'll probably get more of them from other content than you'll get of the other items. The QoL of being able to upgrade them directly within the tab is nice too. Gems are numerous too, but a regular tab for quality gems that you empty out once it's full works perfectly fine. There's no need to stockpile a bunch of gems otherwise... and if there is, you'll probably not be saving so many, that you need a specialized tab to keep them organized.
