Path of Exile 2

MrHolland420 said:

The hardest thing I am finding out with my console experience atm, granted I am only in act 3; is the ease of trading & communication with other players has hampered my progress so far.
I've been using the same Rare quarterstaff that dropped in act 1, with some crafting items used on it. It is becoming rarer and rarer for better drops for my "build", and my enjoyment has suffered.

I suppose there are some community discords out there and perhaps I just need to find one, or continue to basically just run SSF, as that is the experience I have had so far console exclusivey. Also, how the hell do I find my critical strike chance % or anything about critical chance on console?? KRA!

What? Console has access to all the trading.

Lol, y'all would know a lot more than me, specifically why I discussed my situation, and yes I am almost finished with act 3 and a beta cuck because of it.

You get access to the trade market and currency exchange once you complete act3. It's in the start menu.

Currency exchange is through Ange in your hideout. As well the shop to trade your own items

Meant solving the spirit issue. I have boss, wolf pack and 2 rare companions. But I've seen builds list more than that.

oh thats even easier.
any companion giving by GEAR is free.

Sylvan's effigy's Azmerian Wolf costs no spirit.
Forgotten Warden's spirit vessel costs no spirit.
primal bounties spirit bear of course also costs no spirit.

Then reduced reservation cost.
"trusted kinship" is 30% MORE efficiency
"Easy going" is 16%+25% efficiency.
Lord of horrors is 12%. (I don't have this imbued.) note, Gigatic following is 25% REDUCED efficiency.
helm-idol of rakalesh 8% efficiency. (I dont have this)

"idolatry" is 2% per idol socketed. which could be up to like 26%. (I have 5 idols for 10% atm)

so, all of that puts you at 61% increased efficiency, + 2-26% for idolatry =87%, +30% more


Wolf pack is a flat 60spirit.

I don't actually know what determines a Tame Beast, base spirit cost. enemy type? yeah, seems to be enemy type determines base spirit cost, not their mods.
zekoa is 47.4% base.
antlion is 42.3%
ww prowler is 35.4%
--
great white one is 47.4%
cultivated grove is 35.4%
regurgitating vulture is 34.8%

Quality on skillgems is 2.5% per 5 points. 10% with 20% quality. 12% with 25% quality.

Then actual spirit gains. scepter, ammy, +10 in spirit walker, possibly chest, (although forgotten warden doesn't have any.)

Efficiency uses the infinite formula. so, 0 cost can never occur.
final cost= base stat/(1+(total inc/100)

so for me, 51%increased eff, and 30% more universal. =66.3 inc efficiency
274 spirit. just scepter and 10 in spirit walker.

60 spirit wolf pack reduced to 31 spirit cost.. 48% reduc. or, 36= 60/(1+(66.3/100).. those numbers don't add up. lol.

its the "30% more", I can't figure out how that is adding up.

these numbers in pob are correct. this is what my actual in game reservation is.

staying wolves.
51% increased eff. 39.7 or 40=60/(1+(51/100) correct to in game. for pob, you can flip it. 1/1.51= .662. thats where the .6623 is coming from.
but... 51x1.3 for 66.3%eff is 36 spirit cost, not 31.. if we did the 51, resulting in 20 spirit reduced, and then increased that by 1.3, that would be 26 spirit reduced, resulting in 34 spirit cost.

I don't know how we get to 31 cost.

i read the question and went to look at my manz, my squad be like:





looking over my shit i have lord of horrors, soul meridian, the companion side s tuff ...trusted kinship, easy going. idolatry for the 2 percente discount per totem...and then i tried to over-totem as much as possible:


so 11 totems. 110% minion damage and 22% minion efficiency. you can't beat that with a rubber dick.

I haven't played in weeks. i was trying to find a better (pure damage) 1h, and a 2 socket sylvan's scepter, but the price for good scepters can get bonkers. or at least weeks ago.

I doubt i'm as good as the maxed out companion bros. hell i been usin the scorpian and the land shark mostly rather than the ape (i'm salty the ape has a nuclear crit chance which no other companions have). there's a few minion types that i HEAVILY reccomend due to being very inexpensive to get as aura bots, combined with speed and aggression. the crag leaper, rasp scavenger are very fast, tiny bugs. bloodtheif wasp is cheap. winged fiend, the spiny crab and spiny crab matriarch. most of those are available in the 'hive' maps, so those make a good place to sweep for auras.

i think "muster' gems do a lot of heavy lifting on my setup heh.

I may be late on this, but allegedly you can "borrow" other people's ange to sell things.....

Ie: travel to buy something from someone else and then use their Ange to access the currency exchange. Not sure if it works for selling non-currency items as well, but it might. Could give that a try and let us know.

Should also be a ton of stuff in the guild bank if you're in the FOH guild.
