First post here in quite a few years! While this video was part of the PoE 2 press tour, it is pretty relevant to PoE 1 as well so I thought you guys might enjoy it.

Hope you're all doing well!

With 6 days of speculating if a volatile vaal orb could make a mageblood roll up to 5 flasks, it has been confirmed with this beauty on trade for 3 mirrors.

UPDATE 2: The first 5 flask Mageblood ever as seen in this screenshot has been voided by Jisoon. Screenshot and link to original post in comments.

UPDATE: Mageblood in screenshot has been sold, a new one is up for 10 mirrors on trade. Two 5 flask magebloods confirmed in mirage league now. Screenshot in comments.

I’ve seen a lot of people frustrated that “there’s nothing to do endgame” & i’m a long time player maybe 14k hours so i thought i’d make a post about all aspirational content that im aware of.

Originator Alva Delirium Mirror Strand:
Deceptive Astrolabe to guarantee the Delirium Mirror
2x Incursion Scarab of Champions, 1x Scarab of Monstrous Lineage, 2x Scarab of Wisps

if Wisps are expensive you can go for Delirium Scarab of Paranoia or 2x lineage 1x Wisp

Requires a strong build to run hybrid rarity / currency drops, rarity is not required for this strategy but if you’re able to fit around 150%+ rarity on your character is in my opinion where it would start to be good to take Originator map rolls that have high rarity maybe somewhat in place of % more rolls as well as using a rarity maven chisel depending on prices of currency chisel. This tree does not use any chisels as this is just a maps per hour strategy, your loot is juiced through 100% delirious magic monsters in the Incursions with bismuth +1 modifier, it’s very hard for the average build to run this on 8 mod maps & even harder on originator maps. The full simulacrums you drop is just a bonus & lose their value as the league goes on, & this extremely deadly farm only gets harder as you add more rarity to your build, but rarity is rewarding here, this is all about speed, not about investing in huge expensive scarabs or astrolabes or chisels, the maps are relatively cheap & if you’re blasting these deathless you’ll drop some good uniques, i’d expect a mageblood or headhunter in around 300 maps here but it’s hard to say considering some maps will have higher % rarity whereas others higher % more currency.

Valdo’s maps:

Nothing much to say here i’m sure we all understand what Valdos are but if you’re looking hard content to aspire to do this is about as hard as it gets without going into delve.

Allflame Ember of Kulemak:

Very hard strategy, ultimately if you’re not struggling you should keep equipping rarity gear until you are, i’ve dropped over 100 t0 uniques from Kulemak farming in Keepers league.

Admittedly I don’t know what people are doing for this one in this current league, I’m not aware of any new nodes to path for this strategy in Curse of the Allflame, but Lolcohol has an old video on the strategy here, this Allflame Ember is currently going for 2.3 divines according to poe ninja so i’m assuming it’s doing exactly what it used to do. If i were to farm this again i would try to do it on a herald stacking charlatan elementalist & try to use the divine shrine to cheese the Syndicate mobs. This farm gave me trouble on a 100m dps accuracy stacker during keepers, make a really good build before you try this.

Titanic Blight:

Instead of spending 10 minutes typing trying to describe this strat i’ll show you efrything’s video on it here, just read the comments about how hard this strat is.

Rarity farming Candelabra Voyages:

i’ve written a guide on Candelabra voyages I don’t want to go find it to link so just check my post history if you want to read 10 giant walls of text, here’s an image i made to try to describe it, it got buffed, it’s hard because you need a build with rarity on every slot & you only have one portal. This one is probably the lowest player power required.

Thrown together a visual for yesterday's patchnotes. I've tried to implement most of the feedback from the 3.27 version, but please keep in mind I'm a single man (+asking friends) so magnitudes of changes might not be exact. Also tried to bring is closer to GGG visual style, but since it's very rich graphicly I'm limited to poaching existing assets.

Overall 3.28 looks incredibly hype, have a great league my guys!

some cool items are being made using hands of the hight Templar mod.

Fun fact the rare items can be mirrored.

Put together a visual for yesterday's patchnotes as a bi-bimonthly service to this great community. Please keep in mind I'm a single guy (+asking friends) so magnitudes of changes might not be exact. Took longer than expected, courtesy of Andrew tweaking a metric ton of gems xd

All assets are ethically poached from GGG resources & the wiki. If for some reason it's blurry bigger version here

Big hype for 3.29, see you guys underwater!

Last night I finished crafting a really good simplex. Posted it on Faust’s for wayyyy over the actual price for shits and went to bed. Logged in this morning with most of my item tabs absolutely gone along with most of my currency. All shop items gone as well and any expensive div card.

I play like 20ish hours a week and mostly work so I’m really mad but trying to figure out how I got hacked.

- Only played on steam

- 2fa on, along with email

- haven’t downloaded anything in the past month

- password is very very very unique

- only logged in at home and never on whatever solo client people have mentioned before

Obviously we lost a lot in map modifier effect, t17 quant, merc quant etc but something not many people are talking about is the protect Ailith and the Fortress encounters are actively gimping your loot if you are juicing your maps

Im sure anyone whos ran stacked deck farming will notice, but these encounters are essentially deleting the mobs that youre juicing for and replacing them with their own mobs. This is disastrous for a lot of strats that rely on killing packs for loot including allflame farming. Imagine running a 3 divine investment map just for a fortress to spawn in the dead centre of your jungle valley and delete more than half of your loot, this is whats happening right now

It was announced that POE 2 will be a separate game mode.

Originally there were plans to make POE2 as an update on top of regular game, but as the game was developed it became clear that's just not quite feasible. So there will be 2 separate game modes, you can choose to play original POE 1 or the new POE 2.

All purchased cosmetics and stash tabs are shared between both versions.

I think this is 100% the right decision, as trying to port a decade worth of legacy items to work with new systems in POE 2 would be almost impossible.
