is there some rule against cross league trading or are you just worried they will think its rmt

You can't do temp league/perma league stuff because the point of temp leagues is to give everyone an equal start and letting people with a billion ex on Standard use it to buy things in league would defeat that. Doing SC/HC is fine but GGG won't intervene if you get scammed.

Figure tonight I might take a little time to find some items on poe.trade with life and resists so I can go back to maps instead of dried lake. When searching poe.trade how do I know if the +life (for example) on a given item is good, average, or bad for that base item, or whatever?

when you look at the stats you will see like
+99 to maximum life P1

the P1 means its a tier 1 (top tier) prefix and will give you the range if you hover over it

So can a poo poo-tier prefix end up on a base item of higher level or vice-versa, or do they tend to match up when they're rolled (be it via alchemy or w/e or via drop)?

An item can roll any level mods up to and including those of their item level. You can still get garbage rolls on high ilvl bases.

there is a lower limit. so like a max +hp roll wont show up on an ilvl 5 item but there is no limit the other way as far as i know. you can roll +5hp on an ilvl 100 item

Why wouldn't max life show up on an ilvl 5 item? poeaffix (thanks killstealing!) says the first tier for that is at ilvl 1. Is there something else I don't understand about the roll process?

(sorry to pick apart your example I'm just trying to understand how this works so i don't rip myself off on poe.trade)

(edit) Is there a way to get poe.trade to show me what tiers of affix are even possible on a given item so I don't have to go back and forth between it and poeaffix while I learn? Somewhere in the listing where it says P7 or whatever, where it also says "(this could have been up to P4)"?

I just click on the affix to sort by it and add a lower bound if I want to lop off the bad ones :shobon:

Search max life, sort, see that 80 is the max for that price or slot, add a minimum of 50, repeat for other affixes until there's <40 results to choose from.

I'm also going to be shopping tonight, if anyone wants to buy The Worst abyssus for a 5c discount hit me up.

I loot rings and amulets immediately, along with things like Vaal regalias which I ID immediately. When I get enough rings/amulets to turn in a bunch of recipes, I go Hoover mode and loot everything I can use. Then I turn in 10-12 sets of gear.

I get the bulk of my currency doing this and vendoring 6S items for jewelers, which I convert into fusings to sell for chaos.

If you do go that route and re-spec your Ascendancy, definitely get Liege of the Primordial and roll with Lightning and Flame golems. ~60% increased damage and ~15% increased cast speed ftw

There's another school of thought regarding what you pick up that skips the chaos recipe entirely and just focuses on going as fast as possible. Only pick up jewelry, belts, top tier bases for whatever builds are FOTM that league, and 6 socket items. Roll a bunch of maps at a time and try to minimize the time spent on inventory tetris in between maps. If you can't evaluate and price items quickly, throw them in a stash tab and price them later and get into the next map.

This is what I do.

Can someone tell me what i should try and improve and work on for my LA/BR ranger, i bought a doomfletch to replace my old bow, but it simply didn't do very much:

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/UberJumper/characters

I cannot get passed Mercless lab (i am literally running around in circles against Izaro, while trying to plink his health down). I can do t8-t9 fairly well.

I feel i have screwed up my build, as i am insanely squishy, and simply cannot do very much dps.

You think you can defeat ME, Ephraimcopter?!?

You couldn't even beat Assassincopter!!!
Well, a few things that jump out:

- You have no flat phys on your gear at all, which is really what makes Doomfletch's Prism work - it scales super hard off that and will be pretty bad without it
- You're still running 4links, at least grab a 5link for an extra gem, it adds a shitton, how are you level 80 with 4links
- Not sure why you're using Drillneck given that Blast Rain doesn't pierce and you don't have any pierce chance anywhere else - a decent rare quiver will be better, though the flat phys on Drillneck is decent for Doomfletch if you're taking the pierce nodes and using the gem
- You have fuckall for life
- You have fuckall for life

Anybody have any suggestions for a Windripper build? Ever since the prophecy made them (and Drillnecks) cheap as dirt, I've wanted to run something with it, since my first ever character was a janky ele crit bow Ranger. I just don't want to use tshot because I'm a hipster.

as soon as you pick up your Prism you have to go all in on phys damage (flat and percentage): DFP triples from your shown physical dps, LA (and the other elemental bow skills) reduces the physical dps. I would invest a coupla c to get a high level Tornado Shot (and ditch the Blast Rain) or split shot


or go the other way: sell the DFP, get a voltaxic (you don't even need socktes in that = get a cheap as gently caress corrupted one) and a 5link chest and go all in on lightning/chaos dps

Sup DFP buddy - Heres my dude, tho my gear is still pretty god awful. You mainly need to stack up some flat phys to do the dps. Im not sure about raiders, but it works well on inquistors!

Why is LA bad? I was trying both T-Shot and LA, and while T-Shot can work with both single/aoe, I feel like LA clears way beter off screen. The conversion you get on LA shouldn't really effect the bonus damage your getting from DFP?

You have to actually be affected to get the bonuses. Pop a heat flask and you won't get the bonus even on hostile ground.

In addition to the other tips. As well as the other guy, you can check out mine.
https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/fatmanuel/characters
TabsForFood. I've only swapped the bow and the belt since I stopped using DFP, and even though I was actually dealing too much damage my gear is still not that great (no flat damage on gloves and quiver, low multi on amulet - no steel rings).

Fix your jewels, they're bad, get life on both because this type of build struggles badly for life.

If you plan on sticking with DFP I would aim for Avatar of the Veil and Avatar of the Slaughter (I would do this anyway, because maintaining Onslaught when you need it costs too much (a flask)).

Drop the 3 points in Essence Sap and spend 2 to get life and mana leach near duelist.

Get a Stibnite flask.

Switch to another quiver for now, Broadhead or Spike-Point. You can use Drillneck when you have enough links for Drillneck and the pierce cluster North of Acrobatics.

Edit:
I wanted to attach one general piece of advice. The more uniques you use, the better rares you will need to fill the gaps. You're trying to use too many end game uniques at once without having high enough quality rares.

I actually can't find any hard rules for this (I always thought it does, but then again it is a unique mechanic, and those can break the "rules"). You may have to compare dps, but lazy me always just goes TS anyways.
