Chaos recipe

If you run maps slow, sure do this. Otherwise you're going to be poor if you can run maps fast, doing this. I made a bulk of my chaos picking up currency and selling it(jewellers, fusings chromes) when I grinded out 25ex for skyforths last league and I stopped doing the chaos recipe after day 2.

Also consider running enfeeble on blasphemy. It can make a noticeable difference for just about any build.

I got 1shotted in Izual with 5,5k life. I decided it's best to do 50% less dps but stay alive. Bought q20 enfeeble and did uber lab with it, first time ever. Boss fights took maybe 30s each anyways though I guess 300k ignite dps is still enough. I could get over 800k with 6L and flammability though.

Are people saying "don't do vorici exchange" or "don't give a poo poo about vorici exchange"?

The latter basically. Do it if you can, but don't fret over it, or any other master exchange.

I'm running the exact same build and ran into more or less the same problem. The good news is you can go a bit further - I got my first ever Atziri kill with one (avoidable) death.
[great advice]
You can also grab a Voideye and throw your Discipline aura in there, if you can manage to keep your resists high without the second ring, which should be worth an extra 70 ES.
Awesome, thanks for the detail! Good to know it's possible to get over the hump. In dry lake groups I can see how it ought to work, want to keep going but it's just so squishy.

I have a triple breach no-level leaguestone I'm trying to sell. Once that goes I can spend a few chaos per slot, ought to double/triple my ES with that.

Any tips on searching/selling league stones? Poe.trade doesn't have the mods yet, best I've found is searching the exact name match then sorting on the level req. Seems awkward.

Vorici sells 20 Orb of Fusing for 64 Jeweller's Orb which is 16 better than the 80 it would cost at the vendor. 16 jewelers is 4 fusing which is not quite 2 chaos at current rates.

Elreon sells 20 Jeweller's Orb for 32 Orb of Alteration, which currently is worth doing but depending on league ratios is not always a good deal.

Alright, I'm at the point where I consider myself well geared.

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Ultima66/characters?characterName=MalaiseDotEnnui

Path of Building puts my damage with lvl 21 Added Lightning and Ele Focus over IIR at slightly higher than my Doomfletcher from the previous league. I can reach about 6500 life at lvl 97 if I decide to go to Revenge of the Hunted + Forces of Nature, though I might prefer just getting some combination of life leech nodes, flask charge/duration nodes, and Phase Acro which would put me at around 6100-6200.

This is basically where I really find out how life stacks up to ES. With this level of damage my Doomfletcher could farm Shaper comfortably, working with the same flasks (I'm gonna drop the life flask for Dying Sun when I feel like it's at a price I'm able and willing to pay for it). I just hope it's not a disaster because of 6000 life vs 10000 ES.

I moved some stuff from my 1c sale tab to my 3alc sale tab and it ended up moving pretty fast



3 alc's display value is less than 1c on poe.trade right now, but on poe ninja alc is actually slightly more valuable than chaos. Is it expected that chaos will become more valuable relative to alc as the league goes on?

In theory, the only difference between 1 alch + 1 scour and 1 chaos is that chaos is the only accepted currency in Zana crafting. Zana crafting has been a very big chaos sink in past leagues. This is why alchs can be worth so little while scours maintain about a 2:1 ratio with chaos.

However, Zana crafting is going to see a lot less use this league since it's hard to do anything interesting with it besides putting Beyond on all your non-Beyond maps when running a Beyond leaguestone. This means I expect that alchs remain closer to the 3:1-2.5:1 ratio to keep parity between 1 alch + 1 scour = 1 chaos.

I dunno about the meta, but when I was leveling alchs were more plentiful than chaos. Even if it's the "same" rate, just having certain gear I could grab immediately instead of wading into currency trading was worth it.

Twinned at Zana 8 for 3 chaos has a lot of potential, but is sadly locked behind Zana 8. Adding 3 more bosses to Shaped Courtyard or Cemetery is really strong.

I am also curious how good the additional Blackguards/Bandits are, considering it costs 6c to add.

I would have left your wonderlust shoes at 1c especially if they were 4 socketed linked. They would sell eventually. Also I have made a poo poo load of alchs selling t6-9 maps at 2 alchs. I usually get hit up within 5-10 mins of posting. I hope I am not scamming myself. There are a bunch of other 2 alch versions of that map though.

Yea, the teleport isn't random. Izaro gets a giant green circle around him, and if you stay in there you get teleported.

Question for those of you who have tried the Ball Lightning + Essence of Hysteria thing. I know the Ignites are where the big damage is but does the build at least do enough damage to kill uber Argus? One of my goals this league is to make an uber lab farmer, and I thought that this character might be good for it maybe possibly I dunno what makes a good one :shrug:

I've been accumulated a bunch of random orbs so I though I'd try to consolidate them into chaos. Since I don't need the chaos right now I thought I'd put them up for sale. I listed about five kinds at prices that put me about halfway down the first page of sellers on currency.poe.trade

Once the listings went up I got overwhelmed by a load of messages from people trying to buy various quantities of assorted things and I had trouble keeping track of who wanted what and whether they were trying to cheat me or not. Next time I'll try only selling one kind of orb at a time, but what do serious traders do? Was I just underpricing, or is there some trick to it, or is it just a matter of getting good at handling trade requests?

Ultima66

If you're putting up listings for currency, you will be bombarded with requests. Currency flippers make a big point of the fact that you can't do anything else while flipping currency because of how many requests you get, and any kind of price you put that isn't undercutting the market is going to be a price you use for flipping.
