I'm a bit mixed on the Betrayal mechanic itself, but having skipped Bestiary and Incursion leagues (Incursion is really fun) there's a poo poo ton of fresh stuff for me to do so can't complain. Plus as strictly SSF masochist the new crafting interface and system is so drat sweet.

I got an exalt drop, got this helm enchant in my uber lab ascendancy run. Pretty solid day for an hour of playtime. I looked at trade and there is one helm with this enchant and life + tri res listed at 10ex but has better rolls. Can I actually sell this for a hefty amount? I need to find a replacement to wear first.

The only good race pace is suicide pace, and today looks like a good day to die
I get the most out of this game if I limit my trading to buying/selling gear, but progress through the Atlas on my own, and craft with the materials that I've farmed. It takes me long enough that I don't ever run out of things to do.

I just realized why I've been sometimes failing research syndicate missions so quickly.

Map mods effect how quickly the scientists break the research stations, 40% faster attacks/multi projectile/frenzy charges and the stuff broke as soon as the syndicate members popped in.

I'm trying to figure out which clarity watcher's eye mod would be the best defensively for my Tinkerskin EB MOM setup.

I'm thinking Chance to recover % max mana on using skill would be the best?

But also extra % damage from mana before life, and % damage taken gained as mana over 4 seconds seem like they'd be good, any ideas on how to know which would be best?

The chance to recover mod triggers on every trap, it's really really good.

It's really annoying to buy 100 of a stupid prophecy, and far less annoying to just buy a few hundred chisels.

100 of a stupid prophecy is probably annoying but being a cheaper buy than 1900 chisels is appealing

It would be appealing if it was a limited action, but when I map hard I go through maybe 500-1000 chisels (equivalent to 100-200 prophecies) per day. That would be a nightmare to manage, never mind actually finding people to sell them.

Has anyone really cranked up the gem levels in brand recall? Leaving gem corruption out of it for now, I wonder how the spell damage and craftable rare mods on a shield plus a +3 unset ring compare to say running a magna eclipsis and empower for ~lvl 12 recall.

There's a screen shot of a level 7 recall hovering around out there, I think. Popped up to like 110% cooldown reduction, which effectively lets you keep your brands going indefinitely since each cast is adding more time than is lost.

Important note: If a weapon says "Adds x elemental damage" it only adds that when you hit something with the weapon, using a normal attack or skill. It will not add that damage to a spell. Had it said "Adds x elemental damage to spells" you might have had something, but people generally want at least 2, preferably more, damage modifiers on their weapon.

Rather than asking if things are worth X

You can use https://github.com/POE-TradeMacro/

Once installed, with autohotkey, you can use the new short cut, Crtl D, while hovering over the item and it will show a box of current matching items on the market OR a window will open that shows an estimate based on an algorithm.


Do not take the estimates as facts but it does help you learn which mods belong on which items.

Keep in mind that this absolutely cannot price rares accurately at all, you would be more accurate just making up a number.
