Frank Frank posted:I think I have two(?) voidstones from Exarch and Eater of Worlds. I should probably read up on how to get the rest. I know the Maven has one but that’s rough (though I haven’t tried in a while). Thanks for the explanation. You can probably beat "Uber Elder" (it's not what people are talking about when they talk about ubers). Do the Shaper/Elder guardian maps to get the fragments for those boss fights, which drop fragments for another boss fight where you fight both at once.

Uber Elder is the greatest boss and boss progression they ever put together. Fight elder at least twice, fight shaper at least twice, then fight shaper and elder together. i mean its just such a nice progression where you get to learn mechanics (the mechanics are all very good!) and then it overwhelms you by making you do multiple mechanics at once - but you do know how to do it, because you already did them separately. hoping we get some more fight progressions like this once we're all in POE2 and don't have to deal with the B team designs anymore

After a lot of alt spam rolling this league I thought of something I want that Chris would never, ever allow. Auto crafting option. Stick your item in the slot and go down a menu of every mod available to be rolled, with weight or % chance shown to roll and higher ilvl options greyed out if the base is too low, select if you want the item to stop rolling when it hits certain mods you choose or any T1 mod and select what currency and how many times you will let it roll while trying to hit your selected mods, you hit the button and it starts rolling with your currency every few seconds and you can go do something else while it happens and check back on it later. When it's done it'll tell you how many rolls it took to hit the mod. No having to look up out of game websites telling you what mods are available on a item to roll and % chance to actually hit and Youtubers would spend months making guides telling people the best item to stick in the auto crafter for maximum profit to sell while they do other stuff.

whypick1 posted:Unfortunately Ancestral Call doesn't really support minions, otherwise that could be a decent minion stick to go with a Squire (although that would still be usable for you for something like Dominating Blow). Yeah, kinda an odd weapon to evaluate. imo the big notable for the mana res small clusters in introspection which gives increased aura effect. you get enough raw efficiency already and effect is damage and tank

Also part of the value of an Aegis Aurora with a sick crucible tree comes from the psychological and spiritual sacrifice performed by someone Orb of Chancing a champion kite shield 30,000 times edit: Speaking of Crucible what's with the "items combined are corrupted" geode? If I understand correctly it's basically meant as a way to somewhat-safely corrupt items as you'll never get the "demoted to a rare" outcome?

Well the Elder is dead although he had one attack in his final phase that was killing me instantly somehow. Not sure what it was (wasn’t the big cyclone where you have to stand in the middle). He dropped this which seems like it has a ton of modifiers but doesn’t appear to be of much use to me:

Not sure what it was (wasn’t the big cyclone where you have to stand in the middle). That "phys taken as" mod is decently valuable (ion PC at least), but yeah it's not for every build. Watcher's Eyes have a pool of hundreds of modifiers that they can roll (aside from the max life/ES/mana which are always there) and are a big slot machine when you identify them. You can sell them unidentified for more than like 90% of rolls because people like to roll the dice on identifying them.

No. I had no idea who she was and she launched into some diatribe about finding some way to permanently kill the elder while I sat there going, “wait hold up, who the gently caress are you and why should I care about any of this?”

I’m too cheap to pay 15+ Div for my Skin of the Lords with the right sockets and mods. Bought 20 Chayula stones for 5 divines and decided to run them all and find my own. Could use the XP as well. 20 runs = 2 Blessings, 1 Skin which bricked with a blood magic. Got 2 levels though… I want to run more, because no way I’m paying the 15 divs. This game is the gambler's fallacy materialized

JunkDeluxe posted:I’m too cheap to pay 15+ Div for my Skin of the Lords with the right sockets and mods. So for this you basically get a Skin of the Loyal for each success, it either has the sockets you need or doesn't, and then you're rolling the dice again on the upgrade that you get a mod you want? I still need to get a better Skin at some point for min-maxing, but definitely making me want to just farm the cash for it now...

I don’t know where to find the maps that lead to the shaper bosses. I somehow had one of each of the elder boss maps but I’ve been running high +rarity t16 maps with map scarabs and haven’t had one drop Also just a note to myself: -Look up what all the shrines do? -What does consecrated ground do?

the wiki posted:[Shaper Guardian maps] Can be obtained randomly from killing a T14+ Final Map Boss, or from generic map rewards. Allocating Remnants of the Past will increase its drop rate.

Kirac sometimes show them, but they are going to be T16 so keep doing T16 maps. The atlas passive "Remnants of the Past" will help these maps drop. (okay 14+ but with enough void stones you should be doing all 16s) Singular focus can interfere with the drop so turn that off of trying to get the map. After you get all four frags assemble them into a circle and open shapers realm. The first part of the map is a cross and you run down each of the paths to kill whatever is at the end. Then keep the red head alive when she teleports so she can open monster portals and stay inside her red bubble whenever you see it up to protect you. Shaper will keep trying to Goku instant-transmisson+Kamehameha you in the back and he can then do a teleport then slam Regular Shaper fight is easy compared to Exarch /Maven/Nurgle dude so you might beat it without realizing you did.

Oh I’ve killed 2 of those guys already. Hydra and Minotaur. I thought the shaper maps were the Hunter etc. At least there’s less grinding to do. I really want to get that 3rd voidstone so I can bump crimson temple to 16. Other than that just grinding towards the last few items I need (enlighten gem, cluster gems etc).

They're referred to as Elderslayers in-game, but people will also call them Conqueror after the expansion they came out in IIRC.

Or check your scouting reports and look for "Influenced Scouting Report" which will "Reroll all of Kirac's Atlas Missions, including at least one Shaper Guardian, Elder Guardian, or Elderslayer Map."
