I'm guessing play roughly 1000 Burial Chambers for Doctor cards...although 1000 maps per card is probably more accurate.

one time I got a nurse card

you have no dignity
My overall strategy was just to buy Nurse / Doctor cards as early as I could.

Day 1, leveled as quickly as you can and start doing the chaos recipe ASAP. I set up my quad tabs and filters specifically to make this easier as I was pushing. Some things to ask yourself if the chaos recipe is still worth it:

- How much is 2c relative to my overall net worth?
- How much is 2c relative to my next upgrade / item I want to buy?
- Is it easier for me to generate currency in other ways?

Since trade API was hosed I just focused on generating as much currency through the recipe as possible while looking for rares that would get me into maps. Got into maps ~8 hours from start.

The rest was just pushing map tiers really early and selling my excess maps until I hit T16s. Killed Shaper on a 5L on day 3 and got my Elder Orb, and then stopped upgrading my ED character.

Experimented with farming Strand for Legion for a little while, but selling map drops was still really profitable, so I kept doing T16 burial chambers with a Shaper Stronghold and never dropped a single Doctor.

Nothing too crazy; just play efficiently, and play quickly with a focused goal. The cards inflated like crazy over the course of a week so I knew that getting ahead on the first few days would make a huge difference.

I dropped 3 Nurse cards and never dropped a single Doctor.

I want a flask tab that looks like a vending machine. Make it a hidden storage I can stuff with flasks and spots to link to the currency tab for the orbs you'd want for flasks.

Just want to put this here but https:/poemap.live is the most amazing thing for getting your maps. You use an easy to use UI and select the maps you have for trade and the ones you want and it pops in who has that combo. You can wait for whispers or whisper yourself. And it authenticates with poe official site so someone cant pretend to be you. This should be in the OP IMO. Here is a look at the layout.

The galaxy brain idea is to run HH AND inspired learning, as they're technically different effects you can potentially get double rare mob buffs.

You call it "The Big Bang", but what really happened is
Grimey Drawer
while thinking about rolling another character, has anyone tried RF slayer?
Slayer gets tons of aoe, aoe for endurance from tree, frenzy for endurance charges of which we get 7,
more damage after kills and more damage against uniques.
Tree gives 0.6% life regen per charge, kaoms ring 0.4 for 1% life / charge, 7 frenzy on top for some more damage and +2 to max fire res.

Quickly hosed together this lvl 90 hipster RF "build" and i dont know if it could work or not:

In short:
Do a long delve, as in "the 2 nodes are far apart"
Then walk back where you came along the lit cable, and run into every sideway throwing flares as darkness fills your heart with pain.
Eventually you will find fossil nodes, or walls, or resonators, or die if you dont log out fast enough or run out of flares.
Which fossils you can find depends on the biome youre in, theres charts out there if you want to farm specific ones.

My RNG luck and changed dramatically since the last league.

Last time I never got a single exalted orb to drop, and barely got any chaos orbs.

Right now I am level 68 sitting on 23 chaos and 3 exalted(one dropped, 2 from selling an essence worm).

Killed a couple of uber elders today, and did a four army battle to unlock the five slot device. Should be able to get to 24 achievements complete with another hour or two. This is the point where I start to get a bit burned out though, and often end up quitting.

What can I do to respark my interest? Start a new dude of some sort? Pick some new goal? I could try and grind currency for a +8 frostferno, but it wouldn't really let me do anything new or different that I can't do now. I have 22 ex in currency, and am probably wearing 18 ex in gear. Most of it is in my bow. Is there some fun, less common build that can be done with like a 40ex investment? Somebody mentioned atziri's reflection. What kind of weird build is that used for?

Im on PS4, and I think prices are super weird here. Essance worm was 1+ ex last league, and I never got one for my summoner because I was super poor.

Everything feels overpriced from the PC trademarket.

Yeah prices on console are probably hosed from a combination of fewer people playing and less access due to worse interfaces. That’s how it is on Warframe as well.

i think in warframe its due more to how the platinum discounts work. on pc you get 75% off up to 4k plat at once. on console you get 75% off on one market purchase and plat is always normal price.

Every time I yank a jawbone from a skull and ram it into an eyesocket, I know I'm building a better future.

I've gotten up to T15 for the first time on my ED build. I enjoy it but, I want to try Melee for once since the "remake" So what Melee builds can easily do poo poo like Incursions, Mines, shrines and other things?

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.
