This league was a good league to Chaos recipe, the league mechanic is very stingy with actual low level currency rewards. Like running 8 maps to get a chance at 6 chaos, bad value. I skipped the chaos recipe league start chore and I was starving for orbs during that first week. Harvest was a good league for chaos recipe, I remember it was handy for the crafting mechanic. But I think the side mechanics like delve and heist just popcorn currency out the wazoo.

But I dunno, fiddling with valuable things to sell is a mugs game. I sold one thing this league so far. I've got a growing bundle of things that tft would take, but ugh that's so much clicking and I already have enough player power to do the thing I wanna do.

I have sold zero items this league and it owns

An oddly large amount of my cash this league so far has come from slapping '~10c' on my entire uniques tab. Just a steady trickle of change mixed with the odd big lucky strike of selling something I know for a fact I'll never use.
Also I'm now up to 2.3k intellect and am hoping soon I'll hit an inflection point where CoCh Whispering Ice deals enough damage in Sanctum that it won't matter that it obscures everything within 400 feet of me. I still haven't won a run because of that.
...and because I'm bad at sanctum.
...and because 'every time you get an affliction, get a random affliction' is a little too spicy even for "get 100 inspiration when you get an affliction.' Going through random doors with 30% faster monsters that can't be slowed can gently caress you up fast if you're not very good i.e. me. Blew through like 900 inspiration in three rooms and died on the room before the floor 4 boss.

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
My rule is that if I misclick and pick up some random rare then maybe God wanted me to have it and I should ID it just to be sure (it's never good)

Alright here's a POE syntax puzzle for you: how do Sidhebreath, Mark of the Red Covenant, and Melee Splash Support interact?

Sidhebreath: Minions deal no non-cold damage
Mark of the Red Covenant: Raging Spirits deal fire-only splash damage
Melee Splash: Melee attacks deal splash damage

My interpretation is that MotRC allows the skulls do fire splash damage, but it doesn't prevent them from doing splash damage of other damage types. If that's true, then by combining all three they should be able to do cold splash damage, right?

SRS converts 100% phys to fire.
Sidhebreath converts 50% phys to cold.
Mark of the Red Covenant allows fire damage to splash.
Melee Splash is its own splash effect, which allows all damage to splash.
These all happen, but the conversion is above 100% which means the damage percentages have to be reduced to add up to 100%. They are both reduced by 33%, so ~67% to fire,~ 33% to cold.
After conversion, all non-cold damage is then removed due to wearing Sidhebreath.

Then end result is that Mark of the Red Covenant's splash doesn't work since it's fire only and isn't converted to cold, but melee splash works. Unfortunately you're also doing only 33% of SRS's base damage unless you can convert more of that phys to cold. I dunno if MofRC is a good paired with Sidhebreath but I guess if you want less SRS doing more damage it's nice?

...wait, damage conversion on the skill is supposed to always apply at full value. Does SRS have an exception, because the skill doesn't explicitly state the damage conversion?

You should actually do this in the Kirac harbinger memory maps that convert all the loot. Idk how the loot conversion works, but it thinks those chests are actually fairly valuable and you get a not-insignificant amount of valuable drops from them. I haven’t run a ton and I’ve actually gotten a 3-stack of fracturing shards from one.

Coincidentally those memories are a fantastic option for low-effort farming and also early league atlas filling

Also speaking of testing, here's something important to keep in mind for Sanctum: when you take an Accursed Pact, the negative part of it is applied first. Normally this isn't an issue, but today I was presented with a pact that gave me a +200 max resolve boon in exchange for -25% max resolve. I had 316 max resolve, so if it was positive first, I would have ended up with 387, and instead I got 437.

Ask me about "Gain 3 random boons"/"You can't gain boons"

Do i need a specialized build for the "complete simulacrum" challenge, or is it "just" for 20 waves?

Just another jackass on the Internet
It's 30 waves, and yes. 100% Delirious kicks in at around wave 20, and 80% monster damage reduction and 30% increased monster damage means you need a good mix of offense and defense, especially when both bosses show up to tag team you.

SOME REALLY TEDIOUS DUMB SHIT THAT SUCKS ASS TO READ ->>
unless you're playing a particularly strong build that shits on simulacrums or otherwise both has good defense and a shitload of offense, getting an easy wave 30 completion is largely down to rng of not getting a double boss spawn in the last wave or two

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
I think it would be extremely funny if they boosted drop rare rolls somehow without telling people

Serious talk, I would absolutely take significantly reduced item quantity in exchange for "rare items can drop well rolled and identified".

I still think smart rolls on drops would be a band-aid on the fact that garbage mod tiers shouldn't exist on lvl 86+ items.

anyone know if skin of the lords keeps the socket colors from skin of the loyal if upgraded?

trying to get into poison srs without getting the goddamn dagger chayula is adamant of not giving me, but i got a grasping mail with 60% minion poison and a skin plus a blessing from a breachstone.
While the grasping mail of course wont link, the skin would be good as it is but even better when upgraded, but then it might gently caress the sockets and/or brick with the keystone.

If you suffered a severe head injury and decided it would be a wise use of time to try a poison bladestorm build, which acendancy would you gravitate towards? I was considering occultist for some profane bloom to help clear, or perhaps pathfinder for master tox.

I had 3 stash tabs full of random influenced rares that I scooped up and ID'd after bosses. Blanket listed the tabs at 100c and sold six of them just today. None of them had great rolls, I don't understand why people are paying me for junk but cool.

I've also sold four ilvl 44 unique uncorrupted belts for nearly a divine each, to chumps trying to ancient orb magebloods. My drop luck may suck, but there's money to be found in strange places in this game.
