I just check Zana, then do her daily and check zana if she levels or I level. I'm very laid-back about it though.

How does everyone progress through the Atlas in a non-painful fashion? I feel like I either have to spend a bunch of time grinding lower leveled maps in hopes of the right connected map dropping, or I have to spend 5 minutes for each map that I don't have to sift through afk traders and try to buy the map. I've just gotten to maps with my flashback character and I feel low motivation to go through the same process. My incursion character is up to T13-T14 maps and I'd like to try beating Shaper before Incursion ends so I can probably push through the last few map tiers, but when the next league rolls around I don't know if I'd want to do it again...

Ask for trades in the goon guild, e.g.

Looking for T6 Castle, Forest, and Maze, Can give you a T6 X Y or Z

It's a lot easier for the low level stuff that's worthless once you're in red maps, which is also the harder stuff to get from traders. Alternatively, search traders for maps you want and set a minimum price of 1 or 2 C - people might just be ignoring you because they don't want to leave a map for 1 Chisel

Don't forget you can vendor three of a map for one of the next tier up. Its not necessarily financially worth it at the higher tiers but it's much more reliable than running things for ages and hoping for the connected map to fill out a tier.

It was a lot better before they introduced the map tab. Back then people would dump Tier 9 and below in gstash; now you have to beg for them.

Map acquisition strategies:
1. Check Zana
2. Ask in guild chat for anything low. At least the map tab means it's easy for people to pick up and store them, so there's mountains available among the guild
3. Offer trades for everything T10 and above
4. Search for the map you want on the official trade site, and then turn on live search. That way you're messaging people that are hopefully still standing in their hideout after having just stuck the map in their tab
5. Install PoE on your work computer and spend time at the office buying all the maps you need at once, then run them once you get home

Guild chat, and by that I mean mez, is the best way I've found to get maps I don't have.

Seriously, mez has everything ever all the time. Dude's ridiculous and is individually responsible for around half of my progress in Incursion.

thanks mez :buddy:

Elder orb question - I finished my 15 memories last night - can i jump straight to shaper or do i need to add the guardians to my atlas ? I was hoping to skip removing them all this time around but can't find an answer

Filling out my atlas is one place where I'm glad to be a slow leveller. By the time i'm hitting maps with my first character, theres some goon whose already pushing shaper and has a shitton of lower tier maps just laying around. Buy all the white maps from him at once and run them. Run all the yellow maps that drop, buy the remaining from another goon (or same goon). Same with red maps. Seriously, buying all the maps in bulk completely saved my league.

Shoutout to all the goons who sold me maps in bulk this league, especially TMuldoon and Mez.

Use the poe currency map look up. Or path of exiles official version. Might have to spam more than one person but it doesn't take 5 mins to get a map. Unless you move like molasses when using a computer.

I haven't really played this in like 4 years, I only tried it a bit at launch. I installed it recently and it's actually a lot of fun? Anyway, I started again because there was talk of a level sync feature some time ago, is there an ETA for that?

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2163379 are basically all we know right now, and whether or not it shows up in 3.4 is up in the air afaik. Assuming the screenshots aren't just photoshop mockups I'd be on them coming in 3.4 instead of 3.5 though (so a few weeks from now instead of a few months from now).

Those are not legacy uniques, those are old league uniques, there's a big difference.

I guess an infinite dungeon is a way to shift speed meta to tank meta, if the rewards are good enough that killing deeper delve levels outweighs quickly clearing earlier levels.

Assuming the fuel amount on your drill isn't time based



Also I don't think there's legacy gear in these reliquaries, just old league uniques.

Yeah, these are different keys than the ancient reliquary keys that were around during legacy league.
