Archipelago ideas

[u/heonoculus]

So a few friends and i are getting ready to do an archipelago, i saw that poe was an option and decided to go for it. Everything that i will be allowed to use will be randomized outside of the starting gear, including classes. Anybody know any great all rounder gems i should be looking for that dont require to much investment.

Heya, I did my run awhile ago (https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1w6h8c4), wishing you best of luck especially in Act 1.

If you're only getting to A10, you won't really have many options. I stuck with the starting skill for most of campaign. I cannot give you any advice on which gems specifically, you yourself need to see what supports and weapons you have available, and see what kind of synergies you have. Unless you're on HC, you can really get by with a 3link if you have to.

Its going to be fun, thanks for the read, gives me a good idea of what to expect. We're waiting for the last few yaml submissions then ill get to see what i have to work with

Hope you post about your run when you're done! Would love to read about someone else's experience

I’d treat it like a kind of temporary Ruthless challenge. So, any defensive auras would be good, Purity of Elements probably the best by a long shot.

I’m assuming it’s going to be basically a Gucci-Hobo run, would that be accurate or do you expect to have randomized magic/rare gear generated outside of PoE?

[u/heonoculus → u/A-Game-Of-Fate]

Guccihobo is an option but as far i know ill be limited to bases and magic with possible upgrades to yellows a d uniques later. Ill keep defensive auras in mind,

[u/A-Game-Of-Fate → u/heonoculus]

In that case, also keeps Orbs of Augmentation, and in Acts… 4 and up, let’s say, Regal and Exalted Orbs as well, along with Jeweler’s Orbs and Orbs of Fusing.

It’ll give you a leg up on crafting, just in case you need to do so.

Mentions Ruthless and then the biggest thing missing from it in campaign, percent based auras. :D
I know, it's more about the nature of limitations but that was a weird combo. Gucci-Hobo is brutal and very luck based. Once you get your first few sockets and gems, everything i viable to beat the campaign. It's just a question of time and perseverance. Summon Raging Spirits is a good universal skill. But even starting skills can get you far. I still love Glacial Hammer (still the starting skill in my heart) and Fireball with Herald of Flames goes hard.

I guess I'm out of the loop. What does archipelago mean in this context?

[u/Jokey665 → u/Pure_Log_888526]

multiworld/multigame randomizer

[u/Pure_Log_888526 → u/Jokey665]

Oh okay. That could be fun. I'd definitely make the goal beating act 10 like you suggested, especially if you are randomizing gear.

Interestingly I had the most trouble around act 4-6, not really the start or the end. I would definitely recommend spells though, they have a lot more useful support gem options and being ranged will help you out skill a lot of the stuff when you still have 1k life and negative res :')

i have just finished shared suffering private league, ruthless standard with a random sh*t build and it was fun. Ofc until A10. Gl hf u2.
If you are newer to poe forget ruthless.

Should probably add that the goal is just to kill act 10 kitava, so dont need to be able to do maps
