In other news any hints on farming orb of fusing? The only guides I found are pre 3.0 also none of my masters are high enough to buy them from them.

Don't worry about farming a specific type of currency, you can use currency.poe.trade to swap between them.

Best way to make money/currency is just to run maps. Lots and lots of maps. Find maps you enjoy.

Is there some kind of guide I can find somewhere for picking names? Just downloaded this for the Xbox and all my tries so far are taken or restricted (though it won't say what that means or why). I'm kind of done trying to guess a name that will be acceptable to the system and pecking out names on the controller is a pain.

No spaces, the only special character allowed is an underscore, and I'm not sure if numbers are allowed. I think those are the restrictions on PC. If you still can't think of a proper name then git gud

Unless the XBox shares a name database with the PC version in which case lol

do chaos recipe and trade chaos for fusings (the rate is around two fusings for one chaos). Or Vendor a lot of IDed "high density" rares for alteration shards which makes orbs. You can buy 1 jeweler for 2 alteration at some vendors. and 1 fusing for 4 jewelers at the same vendors. Farm jungle vally or tropical island maps (or the shaped versions) for "the flora's gift" divination cards, a set of 5 can be traded for a 6socket (5 link) staff, which you can the vendor for 7 jewelers. Just run lots and lots of higher level maps.

No love for your made-up things.
If you're trying to get a 5L I highly recommend buying a Jeweller's Touch prophecy. Last I checked they were about 30c and will instantly 5L any item that's big enough.

Fixed a bug where modifiers to Damage with Ailments on the tree that were conditional on wielding a one-handed or two-handed weapon were reversed, such that the two-handed ones were active when you had a one-handed weapon, and vice versa.

Thanks GGG for fixing a bug critical to my current Poison character that I didn't even know existed, but like, drat that's some bug.

Updated the Labyrinth to not be able to spawn Darkshrine effects that could overwrite a Darkshrine effect already in the Labyrinth.
Does this mean you can't get more than one shrine effect per run?

Outstanding afternoon. "I've often said there's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse."

Two questions:

1: I'm having a poo poo load of trouble choosing between dark pact, frostblades, and cyclone. And if cyclone, do I go pure phys berserker? Or meatball slayer?

2. Is there a list I can sign up for so that I can ensure I get an invite to the guild when there's room? I've asked more than a few times in discord and have had no luck.

Should I hang onto those items that add an extra socket? How rare is that kind of stuff?

DemonMage

What happens in the course of duty is up to you...
All currency is worth hanging onto. For use or trading. You can make a case for not picking some of it up later on, which your loot filter will help with. If you're new enough to not be running a loot filter, you absolutely want to be grabbing as much currency as possible.

LIVE AMMO COSPLAY

I meant more in the sense it it ok to occasionally waste currency on really low level equipment or are they rare enough I should leave them in the bank.

DemonMage

Vorici can force 4 sockets for 10 orbs. You can usually get it yourself in less than that (especially if it's a 20% quality item). 8.6 orbs = 1 chaos right now. So for the cost of making something 4 sockets, you can probably buy a solid item for that slot.

That said, I'm often lazy and roll it myself. The linking currency is more valuable/rare since a 6 socket item = 7 jeweller's orbs and those are pretty common once you get to maps. 2 fusings = 1 chaos at the moment. 4 link forcing costs 5 fusings.

Basically if you're spending over a chaos on a mediocre item, you probably could have bought one that was already linked. So just keep that in mind, given how trivial trading can often be. But especially before you have any chaos hanging around, trying to trade low amounts of fusings/jewellers/chromes so you can buy something can be frustrating. Though at this point lots of good starter rares are 1 alch which is easier to come by.

Awesome!

you can use poo poo like fusings and chromatics without feeling too bad but dont go crazy on low lvl equipment. dont use any exalts divines or chaos orbs though.

Also I was also thinking that an orb was an additional socket/link, but seeing as they're actually a reroll they seem like something I probably won't bother with for now anyway.

I'm currently running an Essence Drain build (just in Act 6 atm) and am running a Wand at the moment as it's been the best drop so far for spell damage. I'm running Flame Dash as my movement skill because you can't use shield charge with a wand. What I was wondering if how much better is Shield Charge as a movement skill and in turn how much priority should I put into moving over to it?

It's the fastest no-cooldown-skill-that-allows-fortify right now (if you have the local attack speed), the question is: do you want to constantly zoom around, play in a frantic don't-pick-anything-up style?

personally the fortify alone is worth it to invest in a dagger or scepter or even just the golden hammer

I fail to see how those are worth more than 1ex, none of the rolls are particularly good aside from the movespeed.

So I tried playing on my laptop a bit since I'm at the beach, and found my old Intel 3000 graphics chip won't even run a new character well. I think this would actively break the laptop.

Also, remember that player-made unique items cost $1000 each to create.

the fact it supports the company is null for me and simply a by product. I buy the 400 dollar packs cause the armor looks amazing and I gotta have it. I'm a broken person.

Yeah, I drop $20 every time I come back to the game but usually on stuff like stash tabs and so on. None of the MTX really appeal because I quite like the hobo look you get with just base skins for everything :shobon:
