Leagues run around 3 months. Perandus is coming to the end of its life. After the 30th, everything on Perandus SC gets folded into Standard. Everything still alive on Perandus HC will get folded into Standard Hardcore.

When the new league starts, everyone rolls characters there and starts fresh.

I mean, there are some people who just stick with Standard, but the vast majority stock to the Leagues.

What time is it?

Its worth noting that I was getting about 25mil/hour in waterways at level 99, about half in any other map. The only reason that I hit 100 is because this build is one that I find very fun. I roll high level very hard maps and see if I can do them. If I tried to grind to 100 on gorge/plateau my eyes would bleed.

IIRC, only the regular and premium bundles are discounted (on different days, usually premium first then regular) by ~25%.

This will also be hard if you're starting right now, because on June 3rd everyone is going to be flocking to the new Prophecy league, and you'll be stuck in Standard with no one to play with.

When did they announce the name of the next league?

Yes, Ancestral Bond simply removes all damage from any hit you land by spells and attacks, you still hit enemies.

So despite playing since beta I've never 6 linked anything before, until this 2 week flashback race.



Carcass Jack was first on day 3 or 4 of the race in 5 fuses.

Today I'm feeling pretty safe in my demi spot so decide to blow my currency, link the shav's in 379, then the mantle in 10.

No, the 2 week SC/HC events roll back into Perandus SC/HC, where you'll get another week before Perandus ends and everything gets rolled back into Standard/HC.

Should I identify rares before selling them? Or even blues? I don't know if that makes them more valuable or not.

Also I'm level 20, been playing for six hours, and just got like three chaos orbs out of a cluster of barrels somehow. :psyduck:

I don't normally get excited about new Divination cards, but some of these are really cool. I'm pretty sure "of crafting" is the multiple crafted mods meta mod, allowing you to do that without Elreon level 8. I'm super pumped to have Rigwald's Curse available again too, crit facebreaker here I come!

Identifying items makes them give alt shards instead of transmute shards. Alt orbs are worth a LOT more than transmute orbs. Identifying rares and vendoring them can create a decent chunk of currency for you, but it is time consuming. I generally pick up most rares and ID them early on in a league, but I stop bothering later on. Everyone has differing opinions on this.

Yes, you should identify things before selling them. However, blues soon stop being very valuable, so it's often better to stop picking them up (or at least toss them from your inventory if you are full and find rares)

Selling unid'd blues is a good way to get some transmutes, which are doubly useful early on in a new league because they vendor for 4 wisdom scrolls each.

Oh god, lategame is horrid. I'm up to maps and actually getting maps I don't have a horrendous EXP penalty on is semi-impossible.

I get torture chambers occasionally, but even getting a good set of rare bonuses on a map and corrupting it to 8 slots isn't enough to coax more map drops out of a map.

Telarra

If you get Zana levelled up, she basically gives you a free t8-ish map every day in the form of her daily mission, and you can buy several more from her afterwards, which is how I got my collection of mid-tier maps rolling.

Time consuming? Identifying a full inventory of rares shouldn't take more than 5 seconds.

amount of mods doesn't guarantee map drops, the only thing that matters is packsize to get to 9s and 10s

up from there seems to be pure luck though

One way to bootstrap your way into T8s and higher is to level your Zana, she sells maps. You can get a shitload of gorges that way.

Vasudus
May 30, 2003
If it's not 75%+ quant and +25% packsize and you're low on maps, reroll. Either chaos it or scour+alch, depending on which is cheaper at the moment.

You've got two general options for higher level mapping: either a build that can clear quickly, or a build that can clear all/almost all mods. Sometimes they're the same thing!

Missing the simplest options to jump to high tier maps, just buy them.

Probably the best method of getting high maps is to run either Vinktar or uber Atziri, they are both tier 13 level and drop appropriately and have drops that can be sold for a profit at the start of a league. This does require that you can actually clear the map though.

Picking items up, portaling to town, IDing, checking to make sure nothing is worth selling, selling, and returning to where you were, is a hell of a lot slower than just running and killing while ignoring loot.
