I've noticed quite a few goons wanting to play one of the Pathfinder/Raider Elemental Wander builds, so I just wanted to make a quick post to hopefully help you buy the best wand. Let me say first off, even though the wands aren't 10ex+ like the old phys wand builds, wanders are still expensive as gently caress too make. Keep that in mind if you wanna make one. Anyway, in my opinion, your wand MUST have ALL of of the following four criteria: 1. Imbued Wand Base 2. Lightning Damage 3. Attack Speed 4. Crit Chance Now I guarantee if you search for a wand with all four of the above plus something like... 180+ elemental dps, you are looking at wands costing many exalts. The good news is Master crafting wands is very good, specifically Increased Attack Speed and Increased Critical Strike Chance. This allows us many unique options for buying a wand. Outlined below is my recommendation for buying a wand, which will cost whatever you pay for the wand, plus 2-4 exalted. Remember exalts are trading for 45:1c currently, so 180 chaos. Anyone who's played a wander will tell you this is cheap as gently caress for a wand that's almost impossible to replace for less then 20ex or something. If you cannot afford the 2-4 price, then use Piscator's Unique. HOW TO BUY A GOOD ELEMENTAL WAND: Step 1: Search poe.trade/poeapp for an Imbued Wand with 180+ Elemental DPS Step 2: Look only at the wands with High Lightning Damage (T1/T2) and High Fire or Cold Damage (T1-T3). Then use one of the methods outlined below: Wand One: First, look to see if there's any with 10%+++ Increased Attack Speed and an open suffix; or 20-25%+++ increased Critical Strike Chance with an open suffix. If there is, and its less then 2-4ex with the elemental damage above, this is a good deal and a good wand, I'd buy it. Take note that the third prefix and suffix really don't matter as long as you have the four criteria. however, WED, Multi, a 3rd Ele dmg, Increased Lightning Damage, etc are all nice bonuses and can actually make the wand worth a lot more then 4ex and still be a good deal. Good loving luck finding this wand before everyone else does though. If there are none, go on to Wand Two. Wand Two: Now look for a wand with the necessary elemental DPS and ZERO suffixes. If there's one for 1-2ex or less, go ahead and buy it, it's a good deal (again, third prefix isn't a huge deal). Then with Elreon 8, you pay 2ex for "can have multiple crafted mods," and craft crit chance attack speed. If there aren't any wands like this, move onto Wand Three. Wand Three: This is usually going to be your best bet in my opinion. Look for a wand with the necessary elemental damage that also has a third prefix that's either OPEN; or, 3rd elemental dmg, 20%+ Elemental Damage with attacks, Increased Lightning Damage %, or something like +2 lightning gems or spell damage is decent as well, but not as desirable. Once you find one that has the right prefixes, then look at the suffixes. The only thing that matters is that it has 1-3 open suffixes, basically (2 SUFFIX MAXIMUM). Try to find one that meets those prefix/suffix requirements for 1-20chaos, but I'd definitely pay up to an exalt for T1/T1. Then, take your wand to Haku level 8 and craft "prefixes cannot be changed." Once you have done that, use an orb of scouring so that all you have left is the elemental damage prefixes. Then take it to elreon 8 and craft "can have multiple crafted mods." Then back to Tora so that you can craft attack speed, crit chance, and possibly Elemental Damage with Weapons if you got an open prefix. If there's no goons with high enough masters on, feel free to search the forums for a crafting service. I've never had a problem in prior leagues and I almost always use the free ones, but tell the guy im going to tip him in the end. Here's a wand I just purchased for 10chaos, and will be using step 4:  I just purchased that for 10chaos, then I'll do the Haku 8 mod "prefixes cannot be changed," scour it, then elreon 8 for "can have multiple crafted mods," then craft Increased Elemental Damage with Weapons, Increased Critical Strike Chance, Increased Attack Speed. You might have to divine a couple times to get the rolls you want but those are currently cheap. Total cost = 10 chaos + 2 exalt + 1 scour + 2 exalt + 4 alchemy + 2 chaos. 4ex 12chaos 1 scour 4alch. 10bux fucked around with this message at 00:09 on Aug 14, 2017 |

So I was out of the game for when they introduced prophecies. When you get a new prophecy, is it tied to a specific zone around your level, or can it be "any thematically appropriate zone around your level"? Like I filled my prophecies wheel around the start of act 10 and had maybe 2 or 3 fulfilled in that act, but I haven't had any at all in around 15 maps since then. Do I need to go back and clear out old ones (or seal them, I guess) and get new ones that will be in maps? Having a lot of success with this build, too. It was pretty cheap and once I sort out my rings/amulets with resistance and a decent 6L I reckon I can move up a few map tiers.

Question about atlas shaping. If I complete a map that gives me an orb, can I then use the appropriate tier cartographer's seal to uncomplete it and still have the orb I got from it? Eg remove excavation and keep the shaped t11 map? The guide I looked at kind of glossed over it.

yes you can delete it after you get the orb to never have to run excavation again

Am I dumb for thinking jewels are a good thing to spent alts on until you get a good mod (life/%damage/etc) and then divine them and hope for the best? The market is pretty slim pickings at the moment.

Helena ends up falling in love with Greust though so I'd rather leave her in the Chamber of Sins. Also her character model doesn't change the entire time. I guess she embraced life with only one boot.

Man, trade chat triggers me hard. Almost every single person is offering blatantly bad deals, some of them laughably terrible. Are there really enough people with decent currency who also have no idea about poe.trade or poe.ninja for this to be worth their time? Saw a guy trying to sell a boat load of almost vendor-worthy garbage for 8c+ each, including a super low roll Kaom's Primacy he wanted 9 chaos for. (I currently have a way better Kaom's Primacy up for 1c and I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a while to sell). With the time you're spending attempting to rip off a newbie, you could just make more currency than that easily, no? Why are people so reluctant to offer reasonable deals that are mutually beneficial for both parties? You get the trades done way faster (or, ever) and have more time to make currency in other ways, other person fairly gets the item they need to level/farm and make their own currency. Everybody wins. loving greedlords waste everyone's time including their own.

I'd say the fast majority of players do not use poe.trade and have little understanding of value, they just grab whatever they think they need at the moment. A lot of times people I trade with in trade chat don't even have hideouts.

So maybe chalk this up to poor wording on POE wiki but I only just tonight found out that the Chaos Orb recipe only cares about the ilvl of items, not the required level listed on them. This is my first time playing long enough to get to point where I could consider farming Chaos Orbs and I was getting frustrated at how I could never seem to find even a single ring, belt, or amulet that required level 60+. I had to do some searching until I found someone wondering the same thing to finally figure this out.

Helmets, Chests, Gloves, and Boots can be crafted using Catarina to get up to 30 int. You only need 1-2 of these crafts to get the stat requirement for your blue gems.

I think people become addicted to greed in games like this in general, like there's some sort of fetish in ripping people off even when it's almost entirely meaningless, and then they fail to recognize when it isn't even worth the time they spent (assuming they don't want to be reasonable and offer fair trades to begin with.)

Ciaphas posted:Anyone have any good advice for how to most profitably run uber lab with the changes? It used to be just navigate through the shortest possible route for 3 keys straight from Izaro, but now I'm not sure. I spent most of yesterday doing an average of 6 keys/uber run, it was pretty fun. You have 3 from Izaro, 1 from Argus, and 2 from puzzles. Puzzles with a "curious lockbox" at the end reward a key, those with a "labyrinth trove" have a weaker version of the final treasure room's boxes. Same with Silver doors, which give "emperor's vaults". So yesterday had 4 puzzles, and 3 of them were kind of on the main path, so I always made sure to check them out. I always grabbed curious lockboxes, and would skip labyrinth troves if the puzzle showed any difficulty. The last puzzle was a bit out of the way, but there was also a silver door in the area so I would tag both at the same time if I hadn't picked up 2 keys earlier. Also, darkshrines. Totally worth it, especially if they're on the main path. You can see where they are on the minimap, and there is a little hidden switch next to them to unlock. The best ones are the twice blessed (2 uses of divine font), and Izaro granting an extra treasure key (7 keys!).

I did my usual. Raced up on a guy I was excited about, accumulated a some wealth, then poo poo it all away failing to 6L a chest (rip 600 fuse) . So, now I am starting over. Gunna try that wild strike build I recently linked. I'm one of those weirdos that would play 7-8 characters a league even when I had to do a 1-4 the times, so a6-10 is nice to have. I'm finally ok admitting that I am an altoholic.

In that case the person was asking a good way to get more fire res and I just IDed a fire res chest so I linked it to him and said 2C. Not really greed, just supply and demand. From my point of view it all gets wiped in 3 months anyways since I never play normal so things are worth whatever someone is willing to give me for them in the moment. I don't do much trading on PoE.trade and such unless I need one item for my build as I'd rather spend more time playing them game then doing the market. Mostly I just wait till I have 10 tabs full and run a price check on all of them and list anything worth more than 5~ chaos. outside of that is too much time wasted trading.

Once you get a 5L with multistrike it starts to cook. I highly recommend getting a Cauterizer at L40. As an aside, does Curse On Hit work with Ancestral Warchief?

One thing that's not quite clear, can Curious Lockboxes (treasure keys) be the end reward of silver doors or are those always Emperor's Vaults? Also, are there always exactly two puzzle keys, or can there be more/less (say from a lack of Argus, or bad luck)?
