everyone is right. prices at start of league should be agreed upon and remain consistent throughout the the league duration.

the first tabula rasa should not be more than 5 chaos and if you price it above that... oh booy you are gonna get a pinch!!

So it's been bothering me how much they're invested in sexualizing Zana as some kind of PoE waifu, where there must always be an NPC longing for her and all that. I know I'm just mad about nerds here but all is forgiven if we can hook Niko up with Einhar.

her being an npc you constantly have to work with to access one of the major, game features reminds you repeatedly that she has a nice voice even after the 1000th time she tells wishes you luck about your maps.

she is also the only one that actually has the least flavor voicework of her talking about what happens in the worlds or even about herself besides she was a daddy's girl who wishes her daddy wasn't a tentacle beast. :sympathy:

. the lack of actual topics makes her more prone for nerds to insert what they think she like into their personal mind-canon.

it also really doesn't help the devs just can't help writing other npc reactions to her that are not negative or even neutral. even Jun, who sees everyone as a threat to her order, just can't help to wonder what if Zana was interested in going out with her even to the point of creepily imagining them adopting kids together (while speaking with your character no less)

Zana started as a bland character and then turned into a perfect Mary Sue character who can do no wrong!!

Really hoping wave works like wise oak, in that if you have equal amounts of converted it'll apply exposure to both elements. Searched a bit on the reddit thread, but didn't see any elaboration on how that'll work.

Any build suggestions? Tried stormbrand and totems in Betrayal.

glacial cascade keeps being brought up on a discord but not sure how you would build out for that (totems or what)

im going for this vortex/ci build that uses minion damage to boost your own damage with Spiritual Aid. i think minion damage items will be easier to buy than just flat %damage .

I hate how the wiki doesn't have a simple list of all self-damage items.

- Scold's Bridle
- Gluttony belt
- Eye of Innocence
- Rat Cage
- Heartbound Loop

Is all I can think of but I'm sure there's more. If you're a supporter who designs a unique for the game and it doesn't involve self-damage or auto-triggering like Poet's Pen then why bother?

I want to design a dumb item that explores the meta in weird ways and also enforce my secret passion to trick people into wasting time to farm for Oro.

So here is a dumb question: I've put hundreds of hours into the game, and use most forms of crafting, but literally all I do with essences is drop them into my stash tab and leave them there.

When/how do people usually make use of them? Whilst leveling or when hitting 70-ish or what?

don't want to waste a fossil
get a nice base like an opal ring with a good but not amazing ilvl
base has the shiiiiiitest rolls
scour then hit it with a essence that can have a good mod
maybe it works!
mostly it doesn't and you plonk it until you get some more exalts to burn to make something real good with crafting

On one hand I don't want to go occultist cause everyone and their mother is going occultist this league...

On the other hand I learned a very painful lesson about making your own bespoke off meta builds in betrayal.
I should just stop being contrarian and accept the meta.

I'm going occultist but going for bonus minion damage with spirital aid which converts it to bonus to self. I'm hoping minion damage will be cheaper than common than cold/spell damage which i know will be blown out in price.

The league mechanic feels kinda meh, pretty steep difficulty early on. But it has great drops. I got a chaos orb drop in act 1 lmao.

I started running past the enemies and looking for the stabilizers and then fighting them afterwards, I’m not sure if that’s what I’m meant to do. I haven’t tried slotting them into the memory map yet.

this is mainly what i do unless i see the memory is closing fast. then i might pop a blue pack but skip a yellow.

teleporting of some kind is critical. flame dash, blink arrow, lightning warp. you need something when the blue surrounds you.

but also aces on it picking stuff up in the memory and dropping it back outside when you get kicked out either on a accident or jumping into it when there nothing left to kill.

Loot rooms bad. Most of the modifiers affect what monsters drop, so the chests in loot rooms are poo poo out of luck. You're better off making a long line of regular rooms with good modifiers, then hunting for memories to make those rooms absurd.

As to spawning more memories, you just need to complete rooms.

In the Customize section, go down to Leveling, disable the 3 link items. May also want to tinker with the Leveling Rares section.

also do it for armors since most weapons/some shields can only have three

but really, four linking a four slot is not hard with iust fuses. would even argue four socketing a thing is not hard either as long as you are picking up those six slot weapons and selling them for 7 jewelers

basically i pick up anything and ID it. if it has +life/+es then we're talking as long the other stats are not like +light radius

Man, reconsidering getting a quick "The Sacrifice" six-link sacrifical garb.

Looks awesome as hell and already six-linked.

But drat, the low and equal stat reqs (all 66) means that trying for 2 green and 4 blues is just about the worst.

these fuckers better not despawn before I can get to them, it took a while to collect the right eight puzzle pieces

I found you can't run more than two tiles back without it closing.

My advice on that fantastic setup is to run through and just do a huge link up while not triggering the modifiers. With six (plus the replacements you are doing) out of your inventory, you can then drop 6+ more especially on those yellow spots on the right.

This is unless you are max on memories.

I responded to your PM but I was saying I wanted a 4G 1R 1B Coming Calamity, not a sacrificial garb. For reference, getting the colors you wanted on your garb should be on average ~50 chromes, and for me it's ~3.9k chromes

I can live with a 3G 1R 2B Coming Calamity though which is "only" 400 chromes.

my mistake. gently caress. it would be easy to get my four blues on that robe. yah, that will suck to get those colors you requested in that.

edit: I don't know why people say it's so easy to get four blues and two greens on this garb. The requirements give all colors a chance to jump in. Spent over 100 chromes on this.

I need help understanding how memory modifiers transfer across tiles.

"A" is in a square that says it'll offer a global modifier to every connected memory. "B" is getting it, but "C" and "D" do not seem to be getting it, and I'm not sure why.

if that is the case, then its one in every 8 directions if it is connected somehow.

nexus can't get mods so it doesnt get the mod.

that is my logic and you are stuck with it!

Making a new rare with some or all of true fractured mods makes sense. That’s how I thought would have worked.

i think what fractured allows you to do is find the stats that can double dip into into higher tiers easier.

using the #% increased Armour, Evasion and Energy Shield as an example, to get to the threshold of 1000 (the % is counted three times so a 100% increase to armor, evasion, and energy shield would be 300) to get the implicit of 10% less reserved mana for all buffs would require near perfect rolls for all three items to get.

but it is easier since some of the fractured items can double dip like my cold resist ring having a 35% only cold resist as the locked mod but also another ~35% only cold resist that just happened to roll unto it.

then hope the machine picks it is how i guess GGG would do things (by burning annuls )

I think the idea behind not doing the Chaos recipe is that you should be blitzing maps and only picking up a few choice bases to ID and then vendor

I could see doing it the first day or two for early capital - and while good mods on bad bases still have value - but at a certain point your bases will out level the chaos recipe into the regal recipe and that's really not worth it outside ssf

plus the time it takes could be better spent just alching and going

i am super dumb at pricing rares and found trademacro to be horrible.

" well wooooweeee! dis has life and item level 75+ .... a million chaos!!!"

the proof i am very stupid at this is when i posted something worth 20+ chaos for 1 chaos when i suddenly got five messages within seconds of posting.

Assuming that you're talking a Zodiac Leather (197 dex) your best bet is to use the 1 blue option. The average is 128 attempts, costing over 500 chroms. Do note that this is the average, so you can expect to possibly spend considerably more than that. Chromatics are 10:1c.

What about doing the manual coloring if they have a lot of jewelers? Use "three sockets" (3 jewel) and then craft "At least 2 blue and one red" (100 chroms). Four sockets (10), then five sockets (70), and then six sockets (350) going back one # sockets if he happens to roll another non-green -or- just going straight to six assuming all colors are going to be green.

Don't use flares to kill monsters, just keep going past them. Use flares when you can't heal through the darkness damage anymore and need to recover flask charges. The walls that lead to hidden nodes can be pretty deep, you should probably have around 50% darkness resistance at that depth to comfortably reach one and get back to the crawler.

I did some Nexus early until I realized the rewards were trash, then I just ignored it until I hit maps, at which point I deleted all those low level memories and started fresh.

IIRC the segments can only get 5 mods now but you can move them around, pack sizes went up, and I think the effects of each mod did? I'm totally ignoring the synthesis part right now, but I have been getting a lot of currency from my runs.

it's actually good map drops now. if you pull a dream from a map and then play it, it's like a mini-map you can play 2-3 times. One thing I wish is that the charges were set based on the level. Either all 3 charges for levels above a certain tier or 3 charges to all.

i can still taste him posted:

I played a couple of characters to maps. Compared to pc the major differences are: waaaaay slower load times on console, the trade system (and economy) on console sucks so hard, you can't pick up items in combat, and you wouldnt want to play any build that requires finesse aiming. It's acceptable, and free, but you should never play on console if you have a PC imo.

on ps4, you can replace the drive with an ssd or a hybrid (ssd+spinning metal) and that helps sometimes.
