Expedition is nuts but also frustrating. Swear it feels like the remnant quality is tied to how juiced my map is ? Whenever I get a buncha 7-9 rune remnants I feel like it’s some 6-8 mod map and then I end up eating some stupid death and don’t get to half the loot. Shit gets so rippy sometimes, I’m sure it’s due to some rune carrying over or whatever but who has time to analyze that garbage
There is shit in expedition that wipes its ass with characters that have hundred mirrors or more worth of gear, don’t feel bad.

If you're going to pop all remnants you really need to read the runes and be aware of which your build can handle or not. If you get a really good remnant reward like an Aldur's saga, its best not to super juice it and just take the good reward. If all your remnant rewards are shitty, then just pop/juice them all and go for pure div drops.

Wtf is the mod in expedition that heals them? I swear sometimes they'll have 3 life bars and then 3 revives. I haven't done the tablets that give 2 extra mods per map but I did the ones that give 1 extra and it gets pretty crazy. I can probably do 2 extra mod tablet maps but that's a lot of money to test out that theory

Also fuck the dev who put that teleport monster affix that you can steal on the HH.

Playing the Earth Shatter Gemling my new pet peeve is terrain can cause it to basically fizzle and since a single tap cast it like 4 times and isn’t killing anything or hitting anything and can wipe out the mana bar. 0.5 has been amazing but man it has a fuck ton of bugs.

The mana drain, quick footed (super speed bug like the one in the reel above but faster), with teleport, life drain? periodic invulnerability? or w/e the fk that one is? I spent literally 5 or 10 minutes soloing it. All for shit ass rewards. The combination of affixes on shit is absolutely broken at times and just not worth it. The next time Im just going to clear the map and just die so I can move on to another map.

I can buy one and do the fight with you and as it dies drop it on the ground to help free you lol.
Hahahahah, if it really gets to me that much I will just go do something else. It's honestly pretty chill with a video on in the background for the cutscene you can't skip.

Am also looking to get gloves with the raven touched mod since those apparently can sell for a lot. I've only seen it on 2 body armors so far and the best one sold for 5 divs I believe.

I've noticed this with every build I've played this league (djinns, grim pillar totem oracle, glacial bolt gemling). It's like AOE damage sometimes just randomly decides not to register at all.

Pick a different boss then Amanamu and don't farm omens, farm the desecrated stuff. It won't hit as well because Omen of Light still sells well but it will hit some craniums and stuff
Rather just farm something else than do a shitty version of abyss because some retard came up with a stupid idea that Jonathan loves.

You're not wrong but at this point I am deternined to see the damned thing drop 😁
I feel your pain. I've been clearing all the ultimatums out of my stash tab because I decided the only way I've ever getting a Mageblood this league is by having something like an Adorned drop and then selling it unid. Not sure why I do it to myself, at some rational level I know it's a <1% like every other boss rare drop but I'm sick of doing slow-ass Ritual and rarely even getting decent omens let alone one of the belts.

I'd rather eat my own shit than do Ritual. It sucked fucking ass in PoE 1 and it's somehow even worse in PoE 2. I don't know how anybody stomachs that mechanic.

That's pretty much how I feel about expedition. Delirium and Breach are really the only two I can stand to actually focus on, so of course those are the two that feel the least lucrative when you do them.

Yeah it happens with anything that can be summoned or originates near terrain, mana goes poof but nothing happens, like a fizzle in EQ except this is a bug.

One guy hates abyss, another ritual, another expedition, me I hate that fucking temple. What I like about this league is I can do one thing and set up other things for free. We need more of this imo, so much fun to be able to completely juice maps and it breaks up the monotony. Just ran 30 abyss maps with deli and hit 14 grand mirrors and ran into 6 king of the most and spread out rituals in a bunch of spots, also got 8 simulacrums. So next time I log on, giga juice map day. Some are complaining it’s like tower maps, which it is but this feels better because it’s free and I’m getting it for shit I’m doing naturally.

I'd like temple a lot more if I could place hallways anywhere besides the bottom-most row. My shit's been bugged for almost a month now making it completely unplayable. I don't really like it at the best of times, but it did pay for my first (and by far the best) build almost entirely on its own.

I still don't get htf people level fast anymore though. I went from getting 35-50M xp/hr from 95->96--which is already painfully slow--to getting about 10-15M at 96. Doing basically the same stuff, juicing maps and tablets as much as I possibly can, never dying because djinn sorc is unkillable other than completely insane stuff like that fubgun video above, etc.

The loop is in a really good spot. You can do no investment boss rush tablet farm and make a shit ton, or you can giga juice and make a fuck ton.

My top 5 complaints right now
1. Crafting maps still sucks. Mass craft when?
2. Temple sucks and I want to like it. Just needs a few tweaks I feel would make it good.
3. Seamless controller mkb switchover back and forth
4. Optimization/Bugs
5. UI improvements and general visual clarity (truly the rarest of drops from the dev team)

They need to buff the unique maps, they're all garbage. Buff them and make them rarer. Increase the random events that spawn on regular maps like "all monsters are magic". That'll make mapping between areas seem less tedious.
