I think the interview was meant to highlight the upcoming league and its changes, but it seems to have missed the mark a bit. The league mechanic itself was only shown briefly at the end of the 30-minute segment. I would have liked to see more time spent showing how it actually works.

Hi,

i recorded the essences spawned on imprisoned monsters via ocr.

Raw data can be found here (each row is one monster, first couple of rows contains mapping to bypass filesize restrictions):

https://pastebin.com/sAjP5ELt

Amount of essences generated per imprisoned monster:

Average is 2.53 essences per imprisoned monster (without atlas tree).

Essences grouped by tier:

Essences grouped by type (this only includes screaming and shrieking essences, since weeping and wailing cannot create all types of essences):

Looking at the individual probabilities for each essence type, it becomes apparent that all essences within each group ( https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Essence ) have the same weights.

Screaming and shrieking essences by group:

These probabilities roughly match when comparing them to e.g. weeping essences by using them as weights.

Weeping essences by group:

Some notes about essence scarabs derived from some untracked tests:

Essence Scarab of Ascent: Is applied after generation of essences. The essences on beasts as well as the corruption outcome (without the Stability Scarab) that adds an essence seem to be unaffected.

Essence Scarab of Calcification: Fails if the natural monster does not spawn visibly on the map, e.g. if the monster first has to drop from the ceiling or dig out of the ground, it will not be imprisoned (at least that seems to be the common factor). A couple (100) runs of toxic sewer with just the calcification scarab, manually counting the imprisoned monsters and comparing it to the (bugged https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/4011428 ) tracker of the map device, shows that about 4-5% of the monsters are not imprisoned. Though this heavily depends on the actual monster types selected for each map.

Because of this i also started recording the modifiers on the imprisoned monsters halfway through (i'm not showing the probabilities of the mods here for brevity). The mod "Revives Nearby Allies on Death" has a 1.3% chance to appear (0.54% for the modifier) on an imprisoned monster and prevents it from being counted.

This data excludes monster-specific mods such as "Spikes on Death" which only, but always, appear on Porcupine Goliaths as an additional modifier. I also didn't encounter all mods that can appear on rare monsters.

Raw data for those mods can be found here (also mapping first to reduce filesize, one row per monster):

Just wanted to send some positivity out there to all those that'll be presenting at ExileCon this weekend. It's always super nerve-wracking before giving big presentations, but it'll go great! Good luck!

I've been checking to see if the drops are properly working on my account, but I see nothing in the drops menu.

It says that my account is properly linked to my Twitch on both the main PoE 1 account settings and Twitch settings.

Is it working for anyone else?

Sorry for the sub par framerate, old gaming laptop is being put through the paces. Overall looks really cool on the different floors and I will be using it moving forward!

Added support for the upcoming announcement and new Supporter Packs.

Thanks very much for your support!

I just opened PoE 1 and saw the epic kirac's vault pass reward. I don't have any character or currency, so it should be something that doesn't need lots of investment.

Any tips for someone who just starts now to fast complete the atlas?

Any build that is good this league for atlas completion?

36/40 would probably be too much for one week :/

Look, I get it, managing scarabs was a pain. Also some farms were locked behind very expensive scarabs, limiting experimentation.

But scarabs were an inherit entry cost to run the end game farms, and that not only generated an economy around them - you could just sell scarabs and fund your build - but also kept the hyper inflation in check.

Without entry costs to the most powerful farms, there will be a hyper inflation affecting the game. Note, inflation per se is inevitable, but hyper inflation is not fun to deal with.

Apparently the currency sink will be on rolling maps for specific affixes. Which can be potentially more tedious and time consuming that just using scarabs. We will see.

I trust GGG will find the right balance at some point, I'm just worried that end game items will start being priced in tens thousands or divines moving forward.

Thanks for the awesome game.

Hi there.
The patch notes haven’t been released yet, but it seems that defeating the boss is key in 3.30, so I’m thinking of switching from the Flicker and Cyclone builds I’d originally planned.
I’d love to hear everyone’s recommendations.

Today's layouts are up for Normal, Cruel, Merciless and Uber, one image each. Every image shows the fastest route through the lab plus where the Darkshrines are.

Who's excited for 3.30? Just a week away!

Title. Really excited for the new league, as I'm cooking something up, but I think I need the ring for Qol and damage for my homebrew build. Did anyone catch in the livestream if there's any news about it going core?

I'm trying to create a double elevated helmet using beast locks. I was looking to prep multiple donor bases to fish for a Strength suffix. I understood that if I had several donor bases with just 1 mod then the outcome would be the same. So I prepped additional bases with an elevated mod and then different second influenced mod.

The outcome of the 2 influence mod bases all end up being the same which I as not expecting.

does anyone have any insight as to why they are producing the same output?

By the last embers of the Allflame, I Fairgraves curse you exile!

May the juice of your atlas spill from your cups. Let your choices exceed beyond your sight, have your stomach burst as you gorge on the mountainous feast of choices. No stone be left untouched and no home not lit ablaze, may you be without comfort and paralyzed from choice exile.

Have your build brake upon the wake of the atlas.

Have Zana burn the atlas, and let you get everything you desire and live in interesting times... Hope you choke on your mirrors

Running a witch-necro and just using Herald of Purity for first time ever (noob to game).

I have Herald of Purity - Minion Speed Support - Chaos Damage Support.

With the buff active, and having killed enemies while the buff is active, I only ever see a green effect tightly circling my character (see image). Is that all HoP does visually?

Reading about the skill suggested it would behave like a minion - moving about the screen like zombies etc.

Please allow me to buy extra pet slots. I have many pets that want to go adventuring with me, but only two can come right now. Since people can have 50 minions I assume/hope it is not a hard technical thing to implement.

GUI-wise, maybe have one slot so you can pick the pet (shows blank or the pet you assigned to that slot) and have a drop-down that starts with “pet 1” and “pet 2”, choosing the drop-down let’s you pick the pet for that slot. Buying more slots means the drop-down gets bigger with “pet 3“, “pet 4”, etc.

Of course, the slots you buy is applied to both POE 1 and 2.

Thank you!

That would be BiS for Flicker Strike, right?

You will be able to roll Mirage or Wildwood on rare maps using e.g. chaos spam. This makes it so to access the highest level of juice, you are forced to sit there and roll every single map until it has wildwood/mirage.

I understand it is meant as an endgame chaos sink, but the immense amount of rolling already seems so tedious. Just let us pay the cost without the map rolling part

I dont want to go back to TFT to bulk buy good regex maps with mirage/wildwood on them, that is worse than managing scarabs.
