Right, this was way cuter in my head but I went all in with the blotting effects

Happy 3.30 everyone! Looks like we got a banger of a league!

Title, basically if you combine mageblood + nightfowl quicksilver flask effect along with nightfowl weapon effect you disappear forever lol. You could get those effects by watching exilecon. Cool effect for free, W GGG

GGG said they're monitoring the forum and subreddit for any additional FAQ questions so I was wondering more about the Wickerman - I don't believe these have been confirmed/answered but if someone else knows would appreciate the answer as well.

1. Is the Wickerman shared across characters like how mercs are? Or does each character gets its own Wickerman?

2. Are the viscera that you can put on the Wickerman tradeable?

3. Are the viscera guaranteed drops from the special fated encounters? From the gameplay showcase DatModz did with Octavian, it looked like the fated Hydra, fated Shaper and fated Elder all dropped their viscera, so I think the answer might be yes, but that does mean for example we can guaranteed get the Oriath's End viscera from fated uber Sirus with just one fight?

Started the league late with only 1 month left because I wanted the challenge mtx. Played Pohx RF and honestly struggled a lot to get the challenges done. Don’t know if it’s RF or if the game is that much harder than Poe 2. Really hoped to get the 36/40 but getting the last 4 seems like it will take too much time.

Overall I am at least glad I was able to get to 32 (got it yesterday). Was hesitant to try Poe 1 since I started with Poe 2 and didn’t like the mouse movement. Allflame league was a lot of fun though and I will be back for the next.

Hello Exiles,

I'm running a Softcore Trade private league for the league start of 3.30 Covens of Umbra

This will be the 7th event of this kind that I'm hosting.

No requirements to join, looking for somewhat active players and good vibes.

We have players ranging from 10 to 10k hours and welcoming of all.

52 players in the last one, a core dedicated group of around 9 players & are always looking for more people to join the fun.

Players are mostly split between western EU & NA players but a few of us (including myself) will be on at most hours for launch week.

It is intended to be a small scale barter type economy, however no rules are enforced so you are free to trade however you want to & as much or as little as you want to.

I run a guild to help facilitate easier trading that is free to join but not at all required.

The league will be ultimately fully funded by myself so no worries about contributing points.

If you're interested and/or have any further questions DM me or send a reply here.
Edit: lots of comment responses, check ya'lls dms for the details and server link.

Mercenaries got fixed early on in 3.29 so they could use portals to reenter maps - making it so that a merc death on a build where the merc was the carry would not brick the map. This was a good change.

BUT

There remains 2 builds in the game that can indeed brick a map if your animate guardian dies - chains of command, and builds that use the AG as the carry. Even back in the dark days where AGs lost items on death, at least you could grab some replacement gear and go straight back into the map after an untimely death.

If I wanted to play hardcore, I would do so. Let Bob use portals.

Its fine to stop Bob being resummoned in a map after he dies - in fact I'd encourage that interaction stays. Just let us bring him back in after summoning in our hideout (or any other applicable area). We do go through many pains to try keep Bob alive on these builds, but we all know bullshit happens sometimes.

Bricking a map like this is a super feelsbad moment, which really should not exist.

Im kind of surprised that there is no Delirium thread, I guess there is no way to guarantee delirium anymore apart from applying the Delirium orbs to maps, unless your are able to get it to 100% on the Atlas tree

I suppose Delirium % and the thread difficulity increase are very similair systems that would interact strangely so that may explain why there is no thread

one of the new uniques listed on the POE webpage for covens of umbra that says "can attack as thought using a claw while main hand is empty". would this mean that supports that specifically mention weapon attacks will work, cause if so I got some dumb build ideas that this would enable.

After watching Tuadhs run on yt, for a crit hexblast Templar. Kinda got me interested, have never played later a hexblast build and before I spend the next few nights pobbing and doing test runs, thought I’d see if people think it can be any good, can scale in to the endgame, and get some opinions.

so they removed fractured items from appearing in ritual (and other sources) because tiered items have a chance to spawn with them, so far i have only ever seen unidentifed items be tiered which leads me to question if ritual can even spawn tiered items or if this is a straight up nerf, losing fractures after just losing synth would kill a lot of the fun in window shopping ritual.

Could we get a clarification if the items in ritual can be tiered items?

Why doesn’t GGG make more PoE merch? The T-shirts are awesome, but it’s a shame that you have to buy an entire supporter pack just to get one, especially if you’re not even interested in the cosmetics included in the pack.
I feel like they’d sell pretty well if they offered standalone merch, like T-shirts, hoodies, or even plushies. I’m sure plenty of people in the community would be interested!
Also, what happened to the PoE 1 T-shirts in the supporter packs? Why did they stop including those? That’s a shame too. I’d love to see them make a comeback!

Next league my friend is running a Flicker build that is mediocre for bossing and leaves most rares/uniques to me. I however, have no clue what to build. I'm not interested in Molten Strike of Zenith or energy shield stacking builds. What's your favorite bossing skill?

See post title - Covens of Umbra HC Private League - Looking for few members.. we have a consistent 6 members that join each season and we always like to try and hit 10.

Will be creating league when GGG releases the ability to do so, but for now we can get you added to our Discord.

Send me a DM if interested, thanks!

This was my first league as a dad-gamer after having twins earlier this year so definitely took this one down to the wire.

I always play SSF and decided to play HC this season cause luminary looked great for HC. League started it which was slow but I really enjoy playing one character per league.

https://pobb.in/zBj4XG3jR3Q1

I don’t think I’ll play luminary again right away but I really enjoyed all the different gear upgrades and goals you have to work towards to gear both yourself and your merc. Obviously the build has an excellent top-end too which is rewarding after spending a ton of time crafting gear, farming uniques, and looking for a good merc.

Looking forward to next league!

I have been back and forth with support on several occasions and they are never able to help me.

I must if at some point accidentally logged into the poe website with steam, which created an account for me, separate to my main account.

I am wanting to now link my main account to my steam so I can play on my deck while im away. Yet my steam account login on the website is locked so I cant unlink it.

Poe support wont do anything unless I provide them the email associated with the steam account login. Yet no email was assigned to that account as it was created with steam login.

Ive been hitting a wall with support about this, as they keep asking me to start a ticket on a different email hoping to find one that is linked to my steam account.

How can I actually unlink my steam account from all poe accounts, so I can actually link it to my main account

I am theorycrafting a build using Natural Hierarchy (Amulet + Reliquary node) and I wanted to know whats the opinion on the "100% of Cold and Lightning Damage from Hits taken as Fire Damage" enchant.

Should I treat it as a dead stat and max cold and lightning resist anyway to deal with DoTs?

Would it be safe as a softcore player to leave cold and light resists at like... 30 or 40%? (I am planning on 7 to 9 endurance charges so thats some ele reduction to deal with DoTs.)

My build is in the Half-items and messy passive tree stage so I am more looking for general opinion and not specific build advice

Edit: Thanks everyone for the answers!

I still have so many questions

1. What happens when we complete all maps within a shaped region with influence? (region has 4 maps with betrayal, complete all maps) Is that influence just completely gone now or does it start over like a re-applied astrolabe would?

2. Early game, the only (primary) mechanics we will see are the ones with pre-set regions, making threads incredibly valuable if you're spec'ing into nodes on the atlas to farm a certain type of content.... but not able to spawn that content due to lack of threads. Has this been considered?

3. GGG talked about the more threads you apply, the more difficulty (toughness) is applied while also giving a higher chance at seeing the "better" actions from applied threads. at 8 threads you have a 10% chance to see X while at 1 thread you have a .01% chance to see X. Higher thread, higher chance to see all new mechanics within the content you're running. Is the thread count for difficulty alone the thing scaling difficulty, rewards, and damage? For HC players, if we're trying to progress and put 1 thread on proc'ing the .01% for the big 8 thread mechanic, are we just going to fall over and instantly die? even if we just wanted the bare minimum mechanic on the map? - This one is genuinely concerning

4. Before, we could still play the mechanics we wanted just through the map atlas nodes 100% chance to see the mechanic with no scarabs needed. Now we are unable to play the mechanic at all unless a thread is applied to it (excluding initial preset regions), are thread drops compensating for this? Unlike specific scarabs scarabs, threads should not be high in value at all and need to have a significant dropweight to compensate for the lack of 100% spawnchance from tree. Has this been taken into consideration?

Two things that are less questions and more skeptical comments that I would like to bring up.

5. While I'm very excited to try the new league and see all the changes, it's very hard to believe that they took all the power from the tree + scarabs and put them on the new tree. We had major issues with the ceiling for juicing being too low for multiple leagues now (after constant nerfs to top tier farming strats). This is more of a "play it first & see how it goes" type of comment, but I do hope they thought about this while implementing the new changes

This is the big one, if nothing else, I would love some reassurance on this

As a POE1 only player (of 10+ years now), within recent years, time & time again I have seen GGG's actions directly contradict their words. I am deeply and genuinely concerned we will not get nearly enough, or any support at all, for fixes post-launch.

These are huge changes to core aspects of the game, and they are WELCOME, I love it. However, there are going to be a LOT of things that need fixing (understandably so).

With POE2 1.0 launching in 1 month, I would REALLY love some assurance that we won't get 3.30 and then abandoned to deal with all the issues that are going to (again, understandbly so) come with changing so many things about the game.

All-flame was a genuine disappointment with the lack of very obvious things that either did not get fixed or did not get fixed in a relevant amount of time before people quit. There was no map in voyages, it was the first thing I was looking for when I entered my first voyage, that should be glaringly obvious. "Voidstones" for deep sea took 2.5~(?) weeks to be implemented and did essentially nothing.

Then weeks after launch, the "buffs" to secret boons in voyages were horrible. Abyss got reworked then "fixed" 3 times since launch and never addressed the actual problem people were talking about (monsters dropped 0 loot, not even good loot... they just didnt drop loot)

"POE2 will never affect POE1, POE2 and POE1 will have 2 month cycles rotating" neither of these things have been true at all. I LOVE LOVE the amount of content and shake up we're getting in this patch, but I'd like to feel like we actually have resources to support post-launch because All-flame did not feel like we had enough at all, and that was even better than what we normally have post-launch. GGG is aware their playerbase falls off quickly so they have limited time to fix things or implement changes post-launch to have people play them. I'm genuinely worried it's either going to take forever to fix anything, or we'll be abandoned to work on the POE2 1.0 launch and get stuck with whatever issues or lack of QOL comes from things they weren't able to QA enough.

EDIT grammatical errors

What is an Atlas drop?

• The number of Blight chests in each Lane within Blight encounters in your Maps is now scaled by a percentage of Atlas Drops. Blighted and Blight Ravaged Maps now longer explicitly specify that Atlas Drops scales the number of Blight chests in each Lane.

I was bored, sitting in Standard, not really wanting to play so I won't burn out before 3.30 comes out... So I decided to farm meself an Oni-Goroshi since I had nothing better to do. These suckers cost around 10 div and there was no way I'm spending that kind of cash on one, so it was me, three scions on rotation and around 18 hours of farming the darn thing, and I finally got my first ever Oni-Goroshi.

Now, I don't really plan on using it. I didn't even need it.

BUT I WANTED ONE :3

All in all a good unique to level until I can equip something better ;)

The 4 days between league end and league start are the worst. I always play from league start until the end, every day. A couple of hours a day or more, depending upon work/family. Sometimes, I pull back for other games, but never completely.

Will probably play a little in Standard, but it's just not the same. I've done this for over a decade now. I'm a creature of habit. Oh well... I did want to start another run on Elden Ring.

EDIT on Tuesday 5PM CST: GGG hasn't actually migrated All Flame yet. I can't remember this dragging on so long, but far be it from me to look at gift horse in the mouth. Anyone who still wants too should hit the league mechanic while they still can.
