I'm a millionaire. I win. I get giving GGG money, but multiple times an average game price seems a smidge excessive.

I've given GGG more than the average game price, but I have given GGG less than 20 cents for every hour I have played, which is makes it my cheapest hobby by far.

I didn't become a billionaire by spending more than market rate for a video game. Now excuse me I'm considering buying more led grow lights ($$$-$$$$), a fancy water monitoring device($$$), and more.

Are there any key break points in map level in terms of desireable items dropping or is it always just higher is better?

ilvl 84 is generally speaking the max needed for T1 mods on anything.
ilvl 75 is needed for the regal recipe, which is something I actually haven't bothered with for once this league.

Regals are actually worth LESS than chaos orbs, so you don't want to do the regal recipe. If you're doing the chaos recipe you should be storing a bunch of extra belts or amulets in the chaos recipe's range, so that you can slot them in to "downgrade" the recipe while using armor and weapons above ilvl 75. Eventually you'd run out so long as you keep running maps that drop above ilvl 75, though. Which is fine since at that point you shouldn't be relying on the chaos recipe and instead should be focusing on currency drops. Or picking up rares only from bosses I guess, since they can occasionally be worth selling.

I almost cracked in buying some kind of armor MTX last league so I wouldn't have to look at how ugly hubris circlet / vaal regalia / sorc boots looked on my CI characters, especially since I leveled my VFB character to 96.

I managed to hold out, but I know GGG is going to take more money from me eventually. I've managed to keep all my spending to stash related items.

It'd be sick to have a spectral throw MTX and gloom herald though...

So on primordial harmony there is a mod to golem skills cooldown and golem cooldown. So the skills cooldown is your own personal casting of golems and the golems cooldown effectively increases the golem cast speed, yes?

Right.

Also i just dumped a bunch of currency into a golemancer, still need to grab a presence of chayula and a few more harmonies (and then probably swap to elementalist for that juicy ele immunity for shaper) but it's already so chill to play. Complete opposite of the go fast wander build that funded it.

Also turns out to be real good for hall of grandmasters, apart from the max block dudes (gotta bring in someone with rf/sr to take those stragglers out).

It takes 5 regret points to regret a single ascendancy point, you can change your ascendancy once you no longer have any allocated.

Yep, it's this. I've got 1000 hours in the game (probably 900 actual play hours, since I've left it on overnight once or twice) and even if I've spent $1000, a buck an hour is pretty good as games go.

I was running hall of grandmasters last league on my golem build. Most of the max block guys felt pretty harmless if the golems were not out, so I just carried an extra pair of boots with a four link sr to kill them while the golems were unsummoned. The sr was only like level 15 because that was effective enough and I couldn't be arsed buying a higher level gem.

I also tried a levelled block reduction gem, but that was not really effective.

loving finally. I know some of you guys are rolling in the 100s of exalteds but I don't have enough time to grind currency, so at least now I'm not piss poor anymore.

Considering I'm never gonna get richer than this should I just buy a 6-link Starforge and roll with it?

Question to other phys cycloners and use of Bloodlust Support. Is it better in a 5L Ancestral Warchief to bolster its damage when my 6L Cyclone procs a bleed (at 25% total chance from passives) on a single target, or vice versa (and lose a little clear/no-totem/no-bleeding-mobs DPS as a result)? I'm kinda guessing the latter from PoB but thought I'd check.

Besides I had two, I took one in the first league available, played with it enough to take it out of my system, and keep it on standard. I kept the other on remove-only until I felt like using it. I liked FoO enough to take it out.

Steam library shows me at ~2800 hours, over the course of however long. Plus another thousand or so hours before it was on steam. So figure 4000 hours over the last uh...6 years? however long it's been since closed beta.

I've spent MAYBE a thousand bucks. Probably anywhere from 750 to 1250. That's basically a quarter an hour. A movie at the theater near me would end up being 5.50$/hour. It's hard to beat value like that, considering for most of my early PoE time I was an insanely broke college kid.

Most of the alt art in game has actual alt-3d art as well, so could be a nice skin transfer for say, a pimped out doomfletch build.
