I was born and raised in China, lived in Japan, and now hold a US passport.

I am wrong in every way, all the damn time.

Ask me about my tattoos.
Yeah, exceptionals are 35c, orb of conflict is 60c, grands are 5c.

Orb of conflict is really cheap for the value it provides. You could probably even consider rolling with greaters and then trying to conflict it all the way up. Just buy a few exceptionals of the other color for maximum chances.

If I'm going to shell out money for harvest beast memories, do I need to spec back into harvest to make the most of it or do atlas nodes not impact the generated maps?

The map does not use the player's Atlas Passive Skill Tree or Sextants as it is considered opened by an NPC, similar to Kirac Missions. However, it will respect your Atlas' current map tiers (from Voidstones). The map cannot be modified with fragments

Had a decent day. Wasted 2 div on a primordial remnant with 50% unique crucible monsters and didn't have either challenge achievement pop which was a bummer.
Finished up red beasts with Einhar. Just about done with the eldritch altar challenge. 1 logbook away from being done with Expedition.

Made 4 div off of some brass breastplate thing that dropped in Crimson Temple.

Guess I'll drop that 4 div on harvest beast memories so I can at least check that off my list. Also need to do that Kirac blight mission which I am dreading and keep hitting crucible altars(?). I absolutely hate killing lethal crucibles but what can you do?

E: How do I search for specific modifiers for sale on charged compasses? This doesn't appear to work:

I must be doing something wrong because none appear on PC either.

Those are 2 different compass mods and a compass can only have 1 mod, either you have to search for 1 at a time, or set the count to 1 like this - https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/sony/Crucible/rZyY5VRuQ

But I find it's easier to keep track of if you just search for 1 mod at a time. Also you can search for minimum uses so you don't accidentally buy a compass with 1 use, like this - https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/sony/Crucible/Rvl24Yrc7

Although for challenge completion's sake I guess you don't have to worry about the minimum uses, but still useful to be aware of when you're trying to buy compasses you want to use for general juicing purposes.

You idiot.

You're searching for two separate compass types at the same time, if you search for one or the other you'll find stuff.

Ok so maybe I'm confused - even reading the newbie guide:

quote:

Map Bosses are accompanied by a mysterious Harbinger
Map Bosses are accompanied by Bodyguards

Strongbox Monsters are Enraged
Strongboxes in your Maps are at least Rare

Your Maps contain additional packs of Monsters that Heal
Your Maps contain additional packs of Monsters that Convert when Killed

Your Maps contain an additional Sextant Shrine
Your Maps contain an additional Tormented Spirit

I need any combination of three of these. The way they're grouped, each pair is one combo right? Do I have to have 6 modifiers all at once and if so, how do I do that if each compass can only have one modifier?

or

Is it saying that each pairing is "1 combo" and I just have to do 3 of those pairings (but not all at once)?

Frank Frank posted:

Bingo, the mods are always paired on those so you get x fire damage + contains additional monsters that use fire, or whatever

Then there are other sextants that are simply one line like "area contains Jun" or whatever

Well now I feel stupid. I could have done that eons ago.
So just to be clear, I can't get those pairings above on a single compass. I have 2 used 2 compasses to create the pairing, right?

Yes. In that guide the different Sextant mods are linked to the trade page for them, just change the platform to PS4.

Oh and thanks to whoever suggested running to the boss in Crimson Temple and not killing anything. That works really well.

Are any of the expedition vendors worth a poo poo other than the guy who sells currency and the guy who sells expedition currency? One of them sells random rares that are “whatever” and the other just sells common white items no one cares about.

The currency guy sold me a divine today :3:

Rog, if you know what you're doing is extremely good money in early league, since you can craft some pretty good rares with him. Gwennen got nerfed into the dirt a few leagues ago and is just awful now.

The community voted for that option

And the mods aren't doing the work to benefit Reddit, they're doing it for the half a million members of the community. That Reddit is being a bad landlord is why they're basically just making the space less valuable so they don't benefit from that free work

theyre doing it beacuse minor internet power is so intoxicating apparently it will make you voluntarily give up hours upon hours of free work to a multibillion dollar company.

I've been to reddit probably twice in the last year so I have basically no stake in the current slapfight, but if the battle line is giant corporation vs internet weirdos, I'm leaning weirdos any time they aren't the gross sex kind, which they aren't in this case. 0% chance the corp is anything but scum, some small chance at least some community people are decent.

Apparently profanity is NSFW according to Reddit? Also Atziri definitely is. It's pretty wild what some of this says about American mores though, animated boobs are always over the line but illustrated murder frequently isn't?

But anyway, I'll support anything that could take money out of the pocket of a corporation that's taking accessibility options away from blind people, doubly so when that corporation has a long track record of being studiously indifferent to accessibility concerns. Any other justification is just gravy.

idk why the r/poe mods would give a gently caress about mod tools, it's not like they ever moderated the place so idk what they'd need tools for

reddit's ceo is obviously a moron, but that's nothing new either: they've been run by morons and creeps since day one.

they had become less relevant bcos ggg stopped wanting to post anything on there because it was so poorly moderated, so they decided to also make everyone else leave as well. a kindness really.

I left reddit in 2018(?) I think to come back here and haven't been back there since.

Anyway:
* Finished that stupid Kirac blight map - challenge group complete
* Sextant challenge group complete
* Finished expedition challenges
* Finishing the Einhar memory missions now

and I got one of those "watcher's eye aura craft" things from a beast in here. I haven't used beastcrafting before. Do I get to choose which mod I am replacing or is it just random?

I only involved myself into mech keyboard subreddits before I kicked that addiction. Those were the best places to find local dealers (which you always want to support) and to get in on for group buys. It was small enough the mods never stirred up drama from what I can tell but it being the internet means mod behind-the-scenes drama was probably going on.

all PoE subreddit was for the freshest streamer advertising and people throwing themselves off of virtual skyscrapers when patch notes released.

Unrelated but this speculation came up in the thread earlier this year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wskUHRCbnKM

tldw: the Chinese PoE site isn't referring to the next league as "3.22" but rather as "4.0", only way this makes sense tho is if it's the 4.0 beta I think
