Pickle: Inspected.



So I've got 10 offerings and in earning that 10th one, I managed to finally unlock Uber Lab. I want to be run through it so I can get the last ascension and be at my current possible peak before going through the process of trying it myself and refining my build. Since this is my first time doing PoE endgame stuff, what's the typical etiquette for being run through Uber Lab? I know the typical "give them an offering, let them pick up the loot" but how do I handle the process of actually going through the lab? Should I check that uber lab website to understand where the doors are? Do I wait for each area to be cleared before I proceed towards the doors? I assume I stay outside while they kill the bosses. Anything obvious I'm overlooking?

Read poelab so you know where to go. Let them run keys and gauntlets if they want. Follow their instructions.

And you don't need to trade them a key, just open it yourself.

Got excited to cash in a full stack of Atziri's Arsenal, received my fifth Aurumvorox. :downsgun:

I also may have used an exalt to see if I could improve my weapon since I have been unable to find anything better. Here's the thing, though.. My character has 105% bleed chance. I rolled 10% chance to bleed, which bummed me out, but opened the possibility of reclaiming a bleed chance passive without losing 100% bleed. However, when I check the character screens, my bleed chance stays at 105%. Is the 10% chance to bleed on hit factored separately from the passive bleed chance?

I think the tooltip is confused by the weapon effect being local and the passives you have being global. Pretty sure it will cap you even if the tooltip says otherwise. What does path of building say?

Path of Building awesome so you should for sure check it out. Just checked the bleeding stuff out in Path of Building and it does indeed stack. So you are able to drop a node while still being capped.

Somehow a bugged flask was created on standard.



Somebody on reddit actually bought it for 22ex. It gives the stats while in the flask slot, all the time. Doesn't scale with flask effectiveness mods, and it can be divined. Chris Wilson called it "interesting" and said not to spend any mirrors on it.

And now the guy who bought it for 22 ex has no flask and is out 22 ex, lol. GGG strikes again.

I've been at 89 for longer than it took me to get to 89. I keep pushing into maps with lovely mods like damage reflect and lose like 70% of a level before I ragequit and level an alt. I know I could just keep making incremental gains in easier maps, but think of all the loot I'm missing!

Why not just sell the reflect maps or set them aside for a character that could do them

The reflect map I actually just overlooked the mod by mistake. When I was specced into crimson dance and poison, I never had issues with poison, but linking blade flurry to brutality etc makes my life go apeshit, especially when I stop channeling at full stacks. By the time I realized the mistake, I was about two deaths in and had a prophecy riding on the map.

Same thing with Atziri. I had beaten her twice before and never encountered her damage reflecting clone, so I was dumbfounded when I got one shotted a couple times. I checked the tooltips and she didn't have a reflects damage tag, so it took looking up the fight on the wiki to confirm that was even a thing.

I will get to 90 eventually...

to be fair "i keep killing myself and then when I realize what i'm doing, I kill myself a few more times" is clearly the reason you're stuck at 89.

Fair enough, I originally only intended to convey that exp penalties get stiffer as you approach 90. It's definitely made worse if you're like me and develop tunnel vision when you should clearly bail out.

I decided I want to buy the retch belt and was wondering about the divination card sets. So the Standoff (3/3) costs around 1exalt each; however, there seems to be only 4 total unique Rustic Sashes. 3 of the 4 give either the two uniques required to make the Retch, and the third would be the Retch itself. Am I missing something here, or is it just so heavily weighted it's not even worth loving with? The Retch currently on Poe.Trade costs 18exalt. The other two belts needed to make The Retch cost 12exalt for Faminebind and 6exalt for Feastbind, which makes sense. But it seems like even if I keep getting duplicates, it should still be a hell of a lot cheaper?

The other set, The Wretched (6/6), just gives an unique belt and costs about 5chaos. I'd rather not mess with this one because that sounds like an awful lot of player interaction.

You can't chance/ancient the Retch. To chance/ancient orb your way to it, you'd want to aim for the ingredients themselves, in a Zana-enabled Talisman map. It might be a good idea to do that, but I'm not sure what the weighting is. Also keep in mind an Ancient orb will bring other belt types into its pool.
