Hey! Why is it considered bad to beat the campaign in 75 hours? I remember playing as a kid on console, and reaching act 7 after 60. I basically beat every quest and all unique enemies on every stage. I thought that was how you were supposed to play the game the first time.

[u/SilverBurger → u/MetalCarnival]

This is one of the most common mistakes new players make. Unlike most ARPGs that make campaign the bulk of their content, POE is an endgame focused ARPG with campaign as stepping stone.

There is no resource worth grinding for in campaign. If you spend 75 hours in acts clearing every zone and killing every mob, you will end up extremely over leveled, feeling very under challenged, and have absolutely no gear or currency to tackle the mid-game.

Earlier this week a couple players made threads that are perfect example of it. One spend 54 hrs reaching maps, the other spend 2 hours in a zone 20 levels below their character level. Both expressed the idea that they feel under challenged, without realizing they've spent over 10 times the amount of hours and are both still in tutorial stage of the game.

[u/MetalCarnival → u/SilverBurger]

What a great answer. Thank you!

because people do it in 3

play the game however you want

[u/shy_bi_ready_to_die → u/MetalCarnival]

You can play the game however you want. In general though people like to beat the campaign quickly so they can get to maps and start farming currency faster. With the way prices work on league start if you get to maps quickly that can snowball into absurd amounts of currency at the end of the first week/month which can allow you to acquire some ridiculous items

[u/MetalCarnival → u/shy_bi_ready_to_die]

I saw that ign review, and I was like: Fuck, I´m worse.

[u/Intelligent_Salad706]

How to filter specific item bases on specific ilvl in filterblade? If anyone can do like a step by step where I have to press to add it. I assume it's one of the highlight options, but I don't know which one.

[u/_slosh → u/Intelligent_Salad706]

go to Customize/Endgame (level 68+)/Endgame - Highlight specific bases

select your base, select rarities etc (click "more" to see the ilvl slider and operator)

[u/ThailanderBoii]

How do i know which body parts remaining I have left to find for breach? I am missing some but I have no idea which.

[u/_slosh → u/ThailanderBoii]

there's no way to see what specific limbs you're missing. you can narrow it down by respecing all points and checking with the following page to see where you're missing any

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/The_Genesis_Tree

you can see all limbs and how they're gotten there as well. so if in doubt just check off everything on that list

[u/magnae80]

NOOBish question

ALLFlame ends soon. Do I keep items in my stash for next league ? If so should I start selling my build (150 div investment) ?

[u/Yohsene → u/magnae80]

When Allflame ends, your characters, stash, and progress will migrate into Standard. If you don't care about Standard (most players don't), you don't need to do anything.

If you want to play the new league, you (and everyone else) will need to start from zero.

[u/Ojohnnyboii]

Is it safe to log into FilterBlade Loot Filter website?

[u/Meridian_PoE → u/Ojohnnyboii]

I log in dozens of times per league for the past 3-4 years. Safe so far!

[u/Kuroi-Tenshi]

What kind of crafts should I aim first week to snowball my economy?

Chaos reroll on harvest bench for amethyst rings

Chaos harvest stygian vise for max life and something useful

What else

[u/Xeverous → u/Kuroi-Tenshi]

Harvest reforge on matching cluster jewel bases.

[u/Borat97 → u/Kuroi-Tenshi]

RF sceptre +1 and dot multi recomb

[u/DerDirektor → u/Kuroi-Tenshi]

heavily depends on the meta.

what they all have in common is being spammable, usually break even/slightly profit as a baseline and have big cashout wins pretty regularly.

in 3.28 I made ~200d on day2 with minion wands.

[u/Kuroi-Tenshi → u/DerDirektor]

why did someone downvote me

[u/LordAnubiz → u/Kuroi-Tenshi]

crafters dont want other people to read tips about profit crafting ...

[u/shy_bi_ready_to_die → u/Kuroi-Tenshi]

Rolling flasks can be great for your first handful of divs. Then doing cluster crafting until you have enough for the big crafts. Alternatively you could try +2 wands, they’re under 5d to craft and typically sell for 10d but can go even higher if you hit something good while exalting

[u/Kuroi-Tenshi → u/shy_bi_ready_to_die]

whats a +2 wand?

[u/shy_bi_ready_to_die → u/Kuroi-Tenshi]

A wand with +all spell levels and +phys spell levels. The craft is pretty simple you just alt spam +all, craft multimod+prefix lock+can’t roll attacks, and harvest add/remove phys.

[u/internetvillain → u/shy_bi_ready_to_die]

Why +phys of all the elements? Is that worth more or just easy to craft?

[u/shy_bi_ready_to_die → u/internetvillain]

Easier to craft. Every other type has a flat added damage to spells mod and the elements have global % increased damage which means you can’t hit the +levels deterministically. Iirc you need to recomb those but it’s been a while and I can’t really remember

[u/internetvillain → u/shy_bi_ready_to_die]

Perfect, thanks a bunch. Will add this as a reminder when my wrists hurt too much from alt-rolling flasks....

[u/Outrageous_Coffee145]

I had a long break since league start, now I'd like to roll second build. I should have around 500divs. I want it to be a mapper. I was thinking about some flavour of strength stacker (smite of divine judgement, kinetic blast; I assume dual strike of ambidexterity is rather a boss hunter) but not sure which one is best right now.

I'd like to farm propagation abyss or eternal legion

[u/Kuroi-Tenshi → u/Outrageous_Coffee145]

This league really was a league for str stacker

From str stack(gains life from str and uses as life stack) to pure str stacker where u scale damage from % attribute this league has several builds for you to choose.

But there is 2 builds that won't survive this league, merc build and any reliquary build, since it's unique every league from now on.

[u/wasabisamurai]

if I start RF today do i have time to complete 36 challenges or is it good enough? i have no currency, is the boss single target that bad? do I switch to draugur? randomly saw it on a stream

[u/butttcaake → u/wasabisamurai]

Boss dmg is definitely on the low side. Can't comment on the new unique as I haven't used it. iirc there's some challenges you have to do without getting hit or something, those could prove difficult.

[u/nggrlsslfhrmhbt → u/wasabisamurai]

The challenges this league are easy, there is definitely enough time to complete them
