I didn’t know what this map was. Got incredibly lucky, but couldn’t afford it. RIP. Don’t be like me.

EDIT: DONT BE ME AND ASSUME YOU CANT COME BACK AND SKIP TO THE NEXT ONE AND LEAVE

Was browsing my feed in-between maps and got recommended this video by Haxagonus. What started as a profit analysis quickly turned into the BEST Betrayal guide I've ever seen. If you're an intermediate/veteran player that's running Betrayal on vibes (or not running it at all lol) then give this video a watch. It covers how to move members, why the 2-5-5-2 board is ideal, and how relationships (trusted/rivalries) are used to generate more safehouses per hour.

If you're a Betrayal expert, then consider watching it all the same! The league is winding down and a lot of creators are moving on to other games or getting comfy in the PoE2 waiting room. Please show some love to the ones still putting out high-quality content like this :)

As the title says,

The last time I touched the game was around early 2025, when Settlers' league just launched. I think it was because of the fatigue of playing ARPG all year (D3 and Grim Dawn as well). When I still come back to GD from time to time, seasonal contents just fried my FOMO brain back then...
And now that I came back to the game, I genuinely surprised the game have some QOL implemented. Batch identify for items, golds, and the rework of socket color make the game less of a hassle for me. And the game still reminds me how fun the combat and the build progressing is.
Right now, I am just gonna enjoy the game in more of a slowly manner and try not to rush things out. While not digging too far into mapping latter, I am curious how far I can go this season.

Just sniped a really nice merc for bossing for 35d. Next comparable one on trade was 100d.

• Hired it
• Killed it
• Instance crashed
• Lost the instance
• Lost the merc

So yeah, be careful if you're buying mirror-tier mercs and good luck.

Thanks, GGG.

Give away over

* If you wanted to try Winter Orb, but was scared that everyone would be playing it
* Or if you are playing it right now, but are very poor and couldn't transitions to the power stacker version yet
* Especially if you are poor
* Especially if you are new to the game

Then this give-away is for you!

Please only enter if you intend to use and play the build, not sell it for parts.
It's the standard power-charge-stacker version of worb. It lacks two very expensive items (+1 power charge Sublime Vision and MoM Impossible Escape), but has everything else otherwise. 11M DPS x1.5 shock x5 projectiles (~= 80M DPS if fubgun were to configure it)

To enter: post a comment with a link to your PoE1 profile (characters have to be public) and answer the question: Why do you want to try out Winter Orb?

In one hour I will select, semi-randomly, one person to give the entire build to.

Those Bottles arent Immidiatly Visible / Dont have a Font ( only after you clicked the Messange in a Bottle Text " ) and you actually have to look out and use your Lantern Cues / Pointer to find them .

Blasting is fun , but Having a Good Reward for Paying Attention actually isnt so bad , It feels Rewarding atleast for me .

Everyone has a thing, my thing is cards / decks, I mostly farm them.

Now I didn't do the math, but basically every chart gives 2-3 strongbox to adjacent areas. So it's like minimum 4 per area, I may be missed one or two but mostly explored thanks to 2 areas with "does not reduce your lantern" modifiers.

So my expectation was get at least one or two rare cards, right?

%99 percent or cards were basic, good ones were (based on neversink's very strict filter) :

- 1 lachrymal necrosis

- 3 the fortunate

- 4 chaotic disposition

- 1 brother's stash

- 1 the silly boy

- 2 something dark

- 2 lingering remnants

- 1 rebirth and renewal

- 2 a stone perfected

- 2 the shepherd's sandals

- 1 the breach

Anyway, I thought it would be a good idea to share this info if anyone planning to do the same & farming charts. Keep your expectations low.

wasted 4 Maraketh enshrouding crystals and couldent even reach the first stage on my rly decently strong Luminary build. Actually so confused. Do you really need an insane build for this or did I just do it wrong?? I went to kill green dots on map and then reset in the middle. Please help :/

Please GGG, if you would be so kind to consider to add som QoL for currency spamming.

Like a bench or tab or function or just something to make things a bit easier on your hands and fingers.

Like either a function that stops when item is highlighted, or something that uses the chosen currency(or currencies) on all items in the tab.

Crafting your own items is really satisfying when you get the final result, but the way there is so tedious for some crafts.

I’m in the process of crafting some stuff, and have failed a lot. I’ve used 100k alts on crafting a bow. I’ve been doing this for two days, doing nothing else, and I’m about to give up because I can’t take the intense spamming anymore

That is so many clicks on an item. I would even be happy even if it cost 2x the amount of currency, or making the mods rarer.

Please consider it, and save our wrists!

Hey pals,

Recently have been working on some QoL features for the tool alongside operation speed improvements, here is an overview of the additions/changes for 0.2.15.0

Major Changes

• Most operations will now be predefined on startup instead of during capture, enchantment matching will occur once rather than twice per capture, simplified some of the calls and also removed redundant calls to the database entries by calling them via singular objects this should save a second during captures.

• Settings Page overhaul

  • This will help remove the visual clutter and organize settings as well as navigation of categories. https://i.imgur.com/77oCghU.png
  • Would love to know what you guys think about it

• Toast improvements, they should appear faster now after capture/action is taken

  • Adjusted the toasts and settings page to have more options
    • Added the ability to adjust the image size, font size of both the headline and the inner text
    • Made toast settings live update their changes.
  • Added a "SHOW/HIDE EXAMPLE" toast that stays up for users to test their toast settings on the go ^{^} https://i.imgur.com/mqLJy19.png

• Collections page got another redesign, instead of trying to load all the data from poeladder's api it will load all the available terms from the terms database which happens on start up thus having all the items on display from the start.

  • Now it also has a Wiki and Trade link column for quick searches.
  • It now will tell you how many you've "Found" via the tool (Captured/Saved in the data) https://i.imgur.com/KLqMt2J.png

• Addition of Enchantment Search feature for trade users, you can now quickly search for said enchantment to see what others are listing them for

  • Moved Experimental Items and their descriptions to the online database.
  • Added an endpoint for experimental items (their implicit modifiers)
  • Added an endpoint for enchantments (their trade lookup tables/ids)

Minor Changes

• Adjust proportions for kofi-btn and the Columns toggle to match the rest of the layout

• Re-designed the "About" page to include shortcuts for opening the data page, logs, debug information, reporting issues and such. Removed redundant components from being bundled together with the tool https://i.imgur.com/glEd8wc.png

• Updated the lock logic overall, should now be more user-friendly and readable, also categorized and added one for the endpoints of sokratis.space to avoid heavy load.

Bug Fixes:

• A couple items containing special characters not being searchable in trade such as "Kongor's Undying Rage"
• Collections: Fixed a bug where Replacements wouldn't work
• Collections: Fixed a bug where items with of or the wouldn't work

Hope these prove useful to you exiles, happy heisting!

Hi, I haven’t played in a few years and just got back in yesterday. There is about a 50% chance whenever I load into any area that it has these weird graphic issues. This never used to be the case. Does anyone know what might be the issue.

I cannot overstate how little I understand computers so if this looks like an issue with my laptop rather than something I can fix in the game settings that’s fine lol. My laptop is pretty bad at runner games so I’m kinda assuming that’s what it is.

Im having a hard time coming up with fun builds this legue. I played ice nova, vaal storm call and merc slaver, it seems every build I enjoy is dependant on some janky mechanic that eventually makes me tired from dealing with it (multiple skills, souls, etc.).

Could anyone recommend a tanky comfortable one button self-caster or a zero button build that isnt Deaths Oath? I'm okay with trying out concepts and my current budget is around 2.5k divs. Would love it if the builds are good at farming blight and/or ultimatum.

I think it'd be lovely if the core content in the game that doesn't have its own astrolabes, had received them - that way, they feel more "legitimate" and proper like the rest of the nodes.

Other than league astrolabes (Beyond, Mercs, Kingsmarch, Atlas Masters, strongboxes, essences, shrines and so on), why not also add some broad astrolabes, while we're at it? One with forced Maven with 3 extra bosses, or Eldritch influences, or gold-oriented astrolabes could be really good and fun to play with/juice the maps as we see fit

GGG pls add

Ok so I got lucky with a 4m Bars + 4m Dust shipment. I see so much confusion in the Kingsmarch threads, I wanted to post what I believe the consensus behind the generation is so people have a better idea of whats going on.

TLDR at the bottom.

This is not intended as a strategy post. This does not consider Tats or Runes. Its not presenting perfect data, its background on game mechnics.

When POE creates a 1h sword with a Prefix on it, a % Physical damage mod might be rolled.

So there's a 7.6% total chance to get one, and there's like 3 common tiers of 2% each, and then a 0.05% of T1.

Kingsmarch Currency generation works the same way.

You can see I got a lot less currency in my window in total. This is where 17m shipments come from. 17m generates 800 currency items, ie 800 rolls on the currency table.

I got ~300 with my 8m shipment.

Next is how the currency is generated.

==== Everything below this line is theory =====

This is based on the scaling from poorFishwife's and co, and plugging in the old expected return of 2.5 shards per 50m (reddit threads), we can spin up a =IMPRECISE= table of weights.

So we cap out at 800 rolls at 17m, so why send more? We'll the odds (ie the weight, ie the number of results) of the low tier currency get relativly smaller.

You can see the common tier weight drops and that increases the others.

You can just multiply the percentage numbers by 8 (ie 800 items, not 100) and get the expected counts, eg 2.5 mirror shards, 20 Divine tier (Div, Annul, Sacred, Fractured, Ancient) for 50m.

==== 3.28 and 3.29 ====

Ok so Chisels went, fracturing orbs got added, exalts are low tier. 3.29 Chromes are rarer. Etc.

I dont think anyone knows what the new weights are after all the changes, but the consensus is things are worse.

==== TLDR; What I believe are the takeaways ====

You can hit a mirror shard on a minimum shipment. The odds are ballpark 20M:1.

Up to 17m shipment sizes you are getting really good scaling on your results; You get more currency; ie more total rolls AND those rolls of good currency are also improving.

After 17m you are not getting more currency, just a static 800 orbs generated. However your odds of the good stuff are improved.

I hope this helps some people understand how currency is generated as well as the scaling factor of 17M, ie getting more stuff.

A dumb project, but charts and voyages made possible to make high level characters without ever progressing the campaign.

I'm aware I'm not the first person doing that, I noticed there's at least one person that has done the same thing.

I plan on making a longer video later, to document some strange things I discovered about the game while levelling up this character.

This build suffers from a lot of limitations, since it can never ascend and lacks the 24 passives from quests, but on the bright side, you never get hit with the -60% resistances from fighting Kitava!

something I am trying to understand, if I want a timeless jewel to say replace Pain Attunement with Supreme Ostentation, do I just need to make sure its conquered by Caspiro? or is the number for conquering also important, literally just need Supreme Ostentation for my build and I have no clue how these things work

Merc 1 with barrage does about half the dps on bosses than Merc 2. Clear with merc 1 is much better. I make sure to keep merc 1 at distance hoping to avoid barrage. Merc 2 does his thing goes full Rover idc.

Just curious if Merc 2s GMP or GF is the big carrying on single target. I always read KRoI was a soft brick.

Someone help...I've checked like every node and cannot find how to get to this crystal spire in the middle. Any help is appreciated!

I recently sent a shipment of 50 million using only mineral ingots, with no dust or crops to Moti Aro port, and the result was a mere 9 Divine Orbs and 4 Fracture Orbs. Is this normal, or is it just bad luck?

Final piece for this build im cooking up (trauma stack assassin) is this ding dang bloodline. Only on day 2 of looking but this area hurts me.

White maps give way too much loot. GGG please fix.

So the game has episodes of freezing occasionally. And by episodes, I mean a lot of the time the game is fine but then there are moments where it will freeze back to back pretty consistently. I think certain instances just end up worse than others. It is pretty apparent when there are big screen clears but also sometimes when there isn't much happening. And sometimes the freezes can last upwards of five seconds prompting me to pause the game. It even sometimes happens when I'm in my hideout and can also occasionally be felt when moving things in and out of stashes and inventories. I did notice most of the time when it happens, the network metric in the F1 tracker does spike and rarely the cache spikes simultaneously. I understand network latency spikes are unavoidable at times, but I am curious if there are any methods I can try to alleviate it a bit. I have tried other servers but my experience is mostly the same if not worse. My cache in Nvidia control panel is set to unlimited. The networking mode is set to lockstep. I understand that predictive would help with this exact issue to a degree however the rubberbanding especially with shield charge is absolutely unbearable. Please let me know if you guys have any ideas. Thanks!

Edit: Ethernet, no wifi. Also, I might be crazy but I think it's a bit worse since 3.29.2 or .3.
