It works with flasks too. Improving whites is 5% at a time, blues is 2% and rare/uniq is 1%

OK, while we're on % quality of things, and bear in mind I know next to gently caress all about this game, and I am doing things slowly at low levels, trying to learn how the various systems interact, etc. What is special about 20, and not 100?

I don't understand the Atlas. I've watched all of the videos posted in this thread and read up on it too. I've completed a lot of T11 maps and a T12 and T13 for the shaper orbs. I have yet to drop a single shaped map drop other than my T4 shaped graveyard. I then started knocking out all of the T1-6 maps I hadn't yet done for the completion bonus, as my understanding is that the higher your completion bonus the more maps and sustain you'll have. I finished and then started scouring all of the lovely layouts I don't like, which is what virtually everything I've read thus far has said you should do...except I noticed my completion bonus was dropping. What is the point of removing a map from the pool if my chance to get maps period is lower? Even when I run adjacent maps I can't get my shaped maps to drop. When I run other T11 and T12 maps, none of my shaped maps appear either. What gives? I should also note that I chisel everything T11 and above. Or some T9's or T10's if I'm running low on maps. TLDR: Should I remove all of the low maps so only good, higher tier maps drop? Or complete everything and count on the bonus? My bonus is sitting at 49 right now. I removed like 10 lower maps before I realized it affected your completion total. gently caress.

Removing bad maps within a certain tier will increase the likelyhood of your favorite map in that tier dropping. As you said, however, removing maps will lower your bonus drop.

Also the completion bonus does not mean more map drops, it just means you have a chance at getting a higher tier map than what would have already dropped. I don't generally remove maps, I just get as high of a bonus as I can and run the maps I like.

Map chat: alch your maps. Breaches spew out tons of loot, if your map has 1 breach in it, that breach is going to give you back more than 1 alch worth of value by itself.

Another mechanics question: If you use Consuming Dark with Firestorm and link Increased Duration to Firestorm, will the Increased Duration gem also increase the duration of the poison Firestorm applies?

RIP Tashalryn, level 32 summoner necro. Died to a breach where there was about 80 loving times more monsters than previously. Now I'm in the standard leagues, i guess.

Do sextants give you increased map drop quantity?LeninVS posted:How do i get into the higher map tears?the highest tier map iv found is 4. I cleared it without any issues. Zana sells T6/T7 maps very quickly for quite cheap. That's a decent way to upgrade at the start. If you have duplicate maps of something you already have the completion bonus of, sell/trade them for another map you haven't cleared yet. You can reach 50% atlas completion relatively quickly and a 50% passive IIQ bonus on everything is huge.

peak debt posted:You can reach 50% atlas completion relatively quickly and a 50% passive IIQ bonus on everything is huge.  You don't get more maps, you get higher tier maps, but still restricted to normal drop tier restriction. At 50% Scenario 1: If boss would normally have dropped a +1, there's a 50% chance of it turning into a +2. Scenario 2: Boss would have dropped a +2, it's still a +2. Scenario 3: T10 map, magic monster would have dropped a T5, 50% chance it instead drops a T6 Scenario 4: T10 map, magic monster would have dropped a T11, it remains a T11.

Juggernaut EQ is the only build I've played that I'd consider for hardcore. It's tough to play hardcore when you play stoned though. Edit - I also usually play very squishy builds. LA glass cannon rangers mostly.

I spent an idiotic amount of time and currency and respecced over from my Vortex character to CWC WI. In pretty short order and for surprisingly cheap I got myself up to 6.5k ES, still overcapped resistances, and I absolutely shred through poo poo. I would not be surprised to see CWC get knocked down a peg in the vein of CoC.

You should always quality before a vaal since you can't do it after the item has been corrupted.
