Why are Heretic's Veils so expensive when most caster uniques are, like, 1c?

Are they just that popular? :psyduck:

What does this even mean exactly? Shavronne's is 7 exalts, Void Battery is 7 exalts, Skyforth is 30 exalts. Cospri's Will is about 3 exalts and it's just as much of a caster item as Heretic's Veil. Uniques are expensive when they're from a really rare drop tier, and cheap when they're not. Similarly, The Beast Fur Shawl has a huge pile of ES and actually gives a ton of spell damage, and hey it turns out it's worth ~50 chaos. Doryani's Catalyst also ranges from around 10 chaos to 40 chaos, depending on the roll.

If something is expensive that just means supply is much lower than demand. If the supply is high enough that significantly more people find the item than actually want to use it, the item becomes worthless. And honestly, most of the things you think of as "cheap caster uniques" are probably just trash uniques that no one has a reason to use at mapping level because there are much better options for those gear slots.

Again, that's a fraction of caster uniques available. But I get your meaning.

How was levelling for you, and what did you use?

I went with the guide that used firestorm, but after normal difficulty it was turning more awful every pack since the build doesnt take any spell or elemental damage.
I tried going KB with a twyzel sooner, with a 4link at that time and the clear was even worse which i wouldnt have believed possible.
Even when i switched to dual obliteration at 56 (no scendancy then) it was "meh" at best.
At 62 i got the 5l carcass and decided there was finally enough dps to do labs and now its taking off at last.

I'm running an assassin Obliterator using bladefall mines as a secondary and I just leveled with viper strike until I got bladefall and then through to 68 using only bladefall mines. Bladefall mines is sweet for levelling because your tree works well with poison on bladefall, and it benefits from the chaos damage of Obliteration once you can get them. 68 was the magic number for me to start running KB because that's when you can use a level 19 added chaos damage. You can buy a corrupted one for cheap, and it helps a lot for getting the build running well. For me that is the breakpoint of the build actually feeling good to use.

I'm pretty sure any voicework ever for path of exile will show up on imdb as 2012, because that's the date on the game.

Thinking of a new build on PSC. Either some kind of Inquisitor Doomfletch Prism Bow or an Inquisitor Ice Nova Shatterer (LiftingNerds build).

Cant quite decide. Anyone tried either of these?

I'm doing this right now. only level 48 but it's pretty drat strong with the first 2 ascendency nodes, I can only see it getting more insane once I start picking up damage nodes and stuff in the ranger area. First ~40 levels are ok, i just leveled with a elemental bow/storm cloud, since you get some ele damage nodes over in the templar are before shooting over to ranger. once you hit 40 and pick up a couple crit nodes, holy jesus. Do reccomend.

Keep in mind the criteria for what is sellable changes as the league goes on. In the first couple days of a league you can sell absolute garbage rares for 1c. By a few weeks in, a lot of players have quit and it becomes more difficult to sell things. Sometimes rares get crowded out by uniques depending on the slot - chestpiece being a good example. Between shav's, cospri's, carcass jack, kingsguard, lightning coil, that new elephant ES chest, daresso's defiance, kaom's heart, voll's protector, belly of the beast, tabula rasa, and probably a few others I'm forgetting....not many people are willing to pay anything for a rare chest that isn't absolutely amazing.

Jewelry is a slot to look at - you might be letting go of some rings and amulets that may be sellable. In addition to the standard life and resists, people want damage stats on their jewelry that don't spawn in other slots. In fact many are willing to trade life and resists on their jewelry for more damage. Added x-y physical damage to attacks, cast/attack speed, spell damage, crit and crit multiplier on amulets. A lot of builds also need big +str/dex/int stats from their gear somewhere to use certain gems. An otherwise mediocre ring with a big stat roll on it can easily become sellable, and a good ring will gain in value with a mod like that on it.

If you have premium tabs, one way to slowly learn how to price things, is to make your chaos vendor recipe tab public and price it at 1chaos. Then if you ever get a buyer, take a look at that item and see if you can try to figure out why they wanted it. Sometimes people just buy junk with no explanation, in which case cool you got 1c for something you were gonna vendor. But other times you'll undervalue something, or miss why it had any value to begin with. If you got messaged quickly for something there is a good chance it is worth more than 1c, so try to figure out why.

Also if you're in t8 maps your currency shouldn't really be taking a hit yet. T8 maps are really cheap (1 fusing, or 2 chisels or so), you don't need to waste currency trying to roll a nice map. Alch and go and if you can't do the mods you can always just buy more maps.
