What vendors sell the skill gems?Yeah crafting currency is where its at. People use it and there is always a need. Gear usuaally drops in value over the league because more and more enters the economy with no removal, other than players quitting.Maybe maps and books? But those are pittance. Maybe the boss key parts too? Those rare ass chase items? But too rare IMO to actually "farm". High end supports? Again RNG... But as the league goes on more and more of this currency is being used because more and more high end items are being crafted, or at least TRYING to craft it.
I rolled a druid yesterday. gort my monk to 90 and just lost steam. Still playing him but I wanted to try a plant Oracle. So I rolled one and wanted some twink items. And man, there is a market for this shit like crazy. I was crafting +1 and +2 spell skill shit and using it, then selling it for 40-80 ex. within minutes of posting on trader. I know this is a small pittance, but it adds up quick. I think I sold like 4 wands and 4 offhands. No more than a few ex to craft too. Usually you can find +1 or +2 shit on vendors if you do the rounds. I was looking at some of that shit on the market and people want like 1 div for it. So yeah there is a market for that shit too. I have to go through my inventory for the shit I kept from my warrior and monk. Maces, staves, twinky armor....
Plant druid/lich got nerfed some so not sure they'll nerf it again significantly(in 0.3 thunderstorm could permanently shock). There's a lot of very strong builds currently that do well in the campaign and well with low budget and can still scale very high with good budget.BTW the plant druid? Holy shit, if this does not get nerfed this is easy day one next league for me. Strong, powerful, fast...Does not take to many items to get going. Jut run along and spam entangle. 90% of the time. Other 10% youre casting thunderstorm to water them for some elites and bosses. Havent sen the end game yet but I have the fastest act1 to act 4 by a long mile so far. Its basically a walking simulator.
Mine is currently 90, I use cast on critical for thunderstorm which drains my mana super fast.BTW the plant druid? Holy shit, if this does not get nerfed this is easy day one next league for me.

I've felt the opposite way. Maybe it's because I have goals but 95 felt faster than last season for me. All the levels after 90 are moving. I do wish my atlas was done so I could just go blast.Not sure if anyone is 95+, but 95 felt way longer than before. Maybe I'm just imagining.
Kinda done with the Monkey build right now. Lineage stuff and Minion Belt is way too much currency right now.
Will grind a bit more to complete Breach, Expedition and maybe Temple quests. Then if I'm still going I might try some weird expensive build.
