Divination cards and essences didn't exist when I played. I have like 14+ tabs full of random gear that I kept.

I assume when you start in a league you do not have access to any of your stuff in your tabs, or is that incorrect?

Yeah, you're essentially starting over.

I had this until I went from 8gb to 16gb ram, because PoE chugs a lot of ram loading/unloading zones and assets.

Ok so am I right in thinking that the idea of PoE is that you basically are encouraged to make a new character for each league and try out cool poo poo/build towards something awesome (while building up currency for your next character) as opposed to other games you'd get to the endgame and just grind with the same character over and over making numbers bigger?

Sorry if this is a really obvious thing - a lot of the thread is pretty impenetrable to a newbie!

Online ARPGs have been fashioned around leagues/seasons since D2, each iteration moving further towards that direction of rerolling a new character from time to time, in contrast to having a persistent character like what you'd do in an MMO. There are people who like to play a single forever character in these games and stack gear up to infinity in standard but for the most part you'll be better off playing leagues.

My ARPG experience is basically Diablo and offline Diablo 2, then some Titan Quest and a lot of Torchlight 2 so I wasn't really up on the whole league thing. The pointers are super helpful though.

It's decent, but with no life and no resistances on it, it's not in 'shitload' tier. I bought a very similar helmet with 60 life and a mid-tier resistance for 30c on HC. It didn't have damage to spells, which is something, but again, the lack of any defensives is a bummer. It does have an open enchantment slot (but I dunno if it's a suffix or a prefix), which is a thing. In HC, I'd price it around 30c. In SC, I have no idea.

It has a suffix free.

Holyshoot posted:

what do you want for that

I've no idea. On Hardcore Abyss, PoETrade for similar shaped helms is all over the map, anywhere from 30 to 150c, though not that large of a sample size of items to draw from . But I know next to nothing about mines, and no other helmet rolled damage to spells.

If by 'ditch' you mean 'sell for 10 - 15c~', then I guess that's accurate.

My sabo last league was never able to get a 6l armor that was worth a drat, so frankly the tabula was my end game piece as it was the only thing that let me glacial cascade. So yeah, I don't ~~neeeed~~ it, I just would prefer it so this game doesn't feel like such a terrible dumb slog. I don't exactly have a a lot of free time to grind my rear end off.

Last league I saw a poo poo ton of them sitting in the stash, so no I don't mean "sell"
Either way, a friend is getting me one from his guild so it's no big deal.

I'm kind of wondering if this patch that's being deployed right now is in response to the massive power creep that's occurred. It's insane seeing some of the poo poo that's now capable.

Towards the end of the league, sure.

lol, no. It's all bug fixes. Any power creep from elder/shaper items is here to stay for at least this league.

I play soft core so rip. I would say look at what 6l tremor rods go for and price around that. Do note the additional mine is like 33% damage.
